Funny was it how the night before
The world was turning with the light of the sun
At night there was light too, no stories of lore
Then the sun disappeared and darkness begun
On that fateful day
It was not quite the same
No one was used to the dark
And people would look out their window pane
To see shadows of bats and meadowlark
They were not afraid in any way
Then click! In went the stars
The w...
When I look at you
The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold;
a place once so magical now hurt to behold.
When I look at you
The moon overhead must have vanished;
the house that we built has been ravaged.
When I look at you
Footprints that have disappeared in the snow;
that beautiful river we swam in has froze.
When I look at myself
The mirrored reflection flips upside down;
The hairs on my head ...
The sky was once so
Beautiful and bright.
We would always
Soar threw it at night.
With all our might
We would try to reach the sky’s height,
But that was until he didn’t meet
Me up in the sky.
He wouldn’t tell me why.
And I would cry. But still
Dry my eyes and say
,”Everything is fine.”
Because how can you tell
Your loved ones
That you were dying inside?
The sky used to be so bold.
It lo...
A small blue dot, suspended by thread,
Once alive, now seemingly dead.
A planet blue and green that seemed
Like it once—just once—had teemed
With life:
Bounding, flying, swimming,
Joyously living, just beginning,
But ever and ever this life
Was founded on strife:
Balanced, precarious, the edge of a knife,
It would only take one little push—
O little blue Earth,
So precious and old,
Where once in...
Twilight's Veil
The sun slips down beyond the hills,
Painting the sky in amber trills.
The world is cloaked in twilight's veil,
As day gives way to shadows pale.
The trees stand silent, still as stone,
Their branches bare, their leaves long gone.
The crickets chirp a somber song,
As night's dark mantle lingers long.
A hush falls o'er the sleeping land,
As darkness takes it by the hand.
The moon...
Once, each twinkling light held wonder
and awe,
But now they serve as painful reminders
of what we saw.
The memories we shared under the vast
expanse,
Now tainted by heartbreak and a
haunting dance.
The stars used to guide us through the darkest night,
But now they mock us with their fading
light.
The beauty we once found in the cosmic
display,
Now only serves to drive our dreams
away.
The...
Blue waves fill the horizon
Choppy and harsh
Sharks lurking everywhere.
They swim amongst us
As we stay afloat… location unknown.
We set sail in the morning-
Which morning? It evades me.
The sun sets and returns
Just to taunt us as it makes it way home.
The scorching heat beams its heavy rays
While the waves rip open fresh wounds.
Salt burns our eyes.
The sail, once upright...
I look at the night sky full of stars
I don’t pay attention and get hit by many cars
I wonder, where I am. . . and are.
Up above I feel far.
When, I crashed my car.
I float, in stars.
I leave the earth, looking at girth, that they, are stairs of gold.
So then the sky full of stars seemed dead and cold; a place once so magical now hurt to behold....
They say that when you die
Within the stars you will lie
But death wasn’t on my mind
After all that’s just part of mankind
Staring into the infinite void
All my worries were destroyed
You lying on the ground flat
Now all I want is for you to come back
Nights with only you and the stars
No longer stayed ours
The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold
A place once so magical now hurt to behold...
The vibrant sky as he takes me away
From this cold and scary place
From the me I had forgotten to see
To this me that was perfect as can be
To be taken away from the fear
the sadness and painful memories
To be taken away from the dreary
To be taken away from the choices of me
But I know it not to be real this dream
For it to be impossible to see
The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold
A place...
