Cold Numb November:

The sky bursting with puffs of smoke,

The blue covered by the light grey hue,

None that a writer could ever write,

But an artist's feather that flew,

The skeletons of the Earth naked,

It's feather's plucked by the fierce cold,

The young and the restless fought on,

But solemnly did the old,

The salad of the ground stood still,

Wavering only to the wind's chill of a chime,

It held on dearly to the Earth,

But it's only a matter of time,

The worries of the world came by,

But there is one definite certainty, 

Rest is for the wicked,

Definitely not for the vigilante. 

Follow The Lead:

My mind was always subtle to a fault, 

"Never settle for anything less",

They would tell me repetitively,

But what I thought, thought was for perfection,

My heart was always flying into the wind,

My smile chased with a slide of vodka,

All these years my love was a lie,

But what I didn't know was that life gave my a lesson,

My feet was always too quick to stand still,

I had jumped and skipped too far for too long,

My body tired and sore from the beatings,

But what I never knew was that this was only the beginning,

My eyes stayed focused on my own form of beauty,

You had given me the eyes that I needed,

Life had given me a handful of grenades,

But I just made some tasty lemonade. 

Inch by Inch, Worm:

The night was sleek,

The black covering shadows,

The rain tore through airy wind,

My hope would surely close,

The pain was torrid through my spine,

My head pounded like a tin roof,

My mind scattered throughout the night,

My thoughts hovering and aloof,

My eyes sank towards the muddied ground,

I saw a burrowing worm making it's way home,

His bitty self dug and dug,

While I stood there reading his poem,

He disappeared within the dark night,

Along with my deep black thoughts,

His tiny self came to my pleading rescue, 

And was the stifler for my bleeding clot.  

Goodbye, Sigh:

The darkened clouds loomed overhead,

The sun asleep on this breaking morning,

The bird's chirp silent in the black,

As you could hear everyone's mourning,

The birds stretch their bitty wings,

The darkened clouds thin out within the sky,

The trees wave goodbye to the black,

And the gloom begins to die,

The sun lurks upon the horizon,

The darkened clouds losing it's perched war,

The birds test their newly awakened flight,

As the black was torn at the core,

The sun rose up against the black,

The darkened clouds dispersed within the nigh,

The birds chirped a mightily victory,

As the black gave into the sun with a sigh. 

Alaska's Astroglobe:

Everyone has their own Northern light,

Once you see it the others seem so dull,

You pray and dance,

That they would see your precious soul,

Everyone has a light to pave their way,

Once you find them it's never again the same,

Your life turns upside down,

And just being with them turns away the rain,

You're caught daydreaming,

Smile stepping from each corner,

Your soul burns with a flame, 

Much more hotter than the month of September,

Your heart races through a brick wall,

Your feet rushing across the waving sea,

Your mind sleeping in the years to come,

Yet you're as calm as you can be.

Saving Private Franklin:

Behind this flashy smile,

Is a tormented frown,

It'll be all okay in the end, 

One day I'll meet up with the Crown. 

I saw the flickering lights give way,

The leaves waved you a final goodbye,

The thunder gave you their sorrowful farewell,

And right now you're off further then the sky,

The tears couldn't explain the anguish,

My mind lost in it's temporal world,

My thoughts jumping from side to side,

My control in a taunting whirlpool's swirl,

I fought the idea of a dead leaf,

But you were floating onto something better,

I let you go for sake of sanity,

As you rowed on from life's monstrous tether. 

Lightning's Rocking Chair:

The current silently still, 

The rocks hushing the oncoming waves,

The water buries the lonely steeple,

But it couldn't cover your dark caves,  

The seagulls beaconing your return,

Yet you only stood by,

The thunder ripped through your domain,

But the seagulls still preached to the sky,

The darkness came in with troops,

The sun gave way to the barricade,

The stars came blazing in,

But with great fear I had stayed,

The dark consumed the light,

My sight dull as the night,

Yet with my strong willed might, 

He sent the light that was so bright. 

One Word:

The word floated downwards,

Bouncing off the fading leaves,

Washing through the air's embrace,

Yet fighting all for how it believes,

The leaf slowly falling,

Wading back and forth,

The word pounding off it's chest,

Yet it stayed heading North,

The air breezing by the lonely leaf,

Running from the baited word,

The leaf stopping for a visit,

Yet all had left and gone forward,

The tree stood there magnificently,

Holding all of it's arms up high,

It's love seeping out fluidly,

And it's praise held firmly up in the sky. 

Can Sir:

I, the tumorous cancer await,

The bleeding sun no longer my wake,

The light was shining bright,

The light became a sharpened stake,

The pain was surreal,

The bright lights hidden in the shadows,

I laid there wishing upon a better life,

Watching the weeds sway in the brisk meadow,

I knew the Way was tough,

They knew what my life would become,

They basked in my light,

But took me as to be dum,

The light became faint,

The beatings became slow,

I grasped onto the thin line of hope,

But I knew only You could help this low.

In And Out:

To the naked eye the sun blazes,

I become just a passerby,

The road led down a narrow way,

All I could do was search the sky,

Humbly I plead with the grey,

The ears cut off my raspy cry,

The deep black fed off my tears,

All I could see was a doe about to die,

The past came haunting me,

It laid behind so shy,

I ran and I ran,

I soon saw how I would lie,

The future was far off,

I chased and chased,

But when my fingertips grazed your shirt,

It all went up in a blaze,

The present stared me straight in the face,

I came to the age of fear,

I fought on for a brink of anew,

But I had lost all that I held dear,

The pain would roll towards me in delight,

It bounced ever so high,

My life flashed beyond the stars of the sky,

But all I could muster is a "Goodbye". 

Dove vs The Raven

The cool breeze hiding in the summer light,

The branches waving in the morning,

The leaves kindling all that was lost,

But much more than the forgotten night,

The raven sat there waiting,

Watching the poor creatures below,

Not knowing that it itself was poor indeed,

But it never once let it show,

The dove flew by it's nest, 

Searching for food for the young,

It found wave after wave,

Then let out the song to be sung,

The night would creep in,

But only one was found,

The white light faded into the night,

And the raven was once again homely bound.   

Cracker Jack:

I ran to the edges of the Earth,

In hopes to escape your shaky grasp,

You laughed and held my childish ways,

But you yourself wore that pesky mask,

I stood there hanging myself over the edge,

My breathing slowed as I saw the ground below,

I saw myself jump towards my fateful end,

But the roots around my ankles continued to grow,

I knew my end was near,

But in the horizon it spoke of many years,

I laughed and saw my dreams become reality,

And then became the flowing of many tears,

I hung on to dear life,

Waiting, hoping for a newborn start,

But life has a narrow arrow,

And flew gracefully like an untamed dart,

As I walked away from my nearing edge,

I saw the trees quiet and hushed,

They awaited my lonely move,

But I sat by them as I was now crushed. 

Hunger Awaits:

The cool clear sky stretched across,

Perched upon the dense air,

I fought to see the light so deep,

Yet the birds kept singing to Clare,

The song was lovely,

But it was told a while ago,

It was brought to it's end,

But it was something you would know,

You sat there alone,

Waiting for a hand to feel,

Your shoulder lonely,

Pulling in your tears you reel,

The dam felt the raging tides,

You held on for dear sweet life,

The rocks cracked under pressure,

Even though you hadn't enough strife,

The sun poked out,

Seeing the sight it came to,

The sun stayed by your side,

Even when the others left you,

It's warmth caring for your losses,

It's labor through all of your pain,

Your late nights of grief,

It gave you the hope through all of your rain. 

The Beacon Of Hope:

My outstretched hands old,

The wrinkles shriveled in the dark,

The Earth firmly in my palm,

My life was given a mighty spark,

The air was cold,

The cave gave me assurance,

My old skin grew weary,

But I was still able to prance,

My mind stayed in the globe of old,

Yet my body slowed within the bubble,

I saw the patrons leave one by one,

But only I saw all of their troubles,

I sat behind patiently,

Waiting, watching, aware,

They turned to see my blank face,

Yet they never knew why I did stare.  

Demon Down:

The pain seeped down,

It dripped past my pale body,

Then flew into my heart,

Eating away inch by inch,

The beating became weaker,

The pounding slowed to a faint whisper,

The young doe unable to hear the quiet plea,

My heart sought for a rain,

Awaiting the time for the colors to shine bright,

The sun hidden behind the grey clouds,

Holding it's covers over it's shameful body,

A tear fell from the sky,

The ground shocked by it's tumble,

A rumble was heard from the horizon,

Yet the sun stood behind still hidden away,

The pain was near,

It closed in to accept it's winnings,

It fell down a deep dark pit,

And devilish me laid there watching it fall. 

Nearby Stranger:

The beggar boy crying on the corner,

You felt the fray come near,

I held onto my old heart,

Yet you were all I could hear,

The sweet sound of harmony,

The birds chirping in a nearby tree,

The soft sun gleaming in the sky,

But never once did I wonder why,

I saw the great from the worst,

I heard your sorrows bury deep down,

You were on the verge to burst,

But I kept that from becoming a sound,

The life I once knew fell,

It fell deep into the abyss,

I sought to find another,

But they all turned out to be a cyst. 

Hell's Fury:

The world spun right 'round,

The sounds of birds echoed from the sky,

My voice carried on like the wind,

My thought began but would die,

I heard the sounds from the whisky wind,

I heard words forming around my ears,

Yet I couldn't for the sake of me undo being blind,

And one day it'll be the reasons of all of my tears,

I saw you laying there,

Dreaming up away in the clouds,

Yet when the birds flew by,

You hid away in the deepened crowds,

The sun struck my rosy tanned cheeks,

A lone branch sat by my side,

I brought all of my dreams to ink,

Yet all I felt was the wave's collide,

I felt my give go,

My curly hair hung onto it's faint hope,

I sat by the one that saw to my pain,

But there was longing for me to cope. 

Fighter's FreeFall:

I will always be the gleam in your eye,

The cool calm summer breeze,

You will always be the fallen tide,

The beggar groveling on his knees,

 I will always be the stars that light up the sky,

The crisp glint of the moon's lone wheeze, 

You will always be the raccoon faking your own death,

Being the dead limbs in the trees,

I will always be the runner who finishes the race,

The one who hears the crowds like the seas,

You will always be the runner who never fully began,

Because I am the one who believes.

Calming Go:

The breezy wind faint,

The rabid rapids carried me away,

The bugs waited for Tan's demise,

But His truth was to stay,

I floated downstream,

I awaited my next lone task,

I fell down the frightful waterfall,

But I did so wearing my Hero's mask,

The fall was sweet and painless,

The view majestic as any sight,

The sun rose to it's peak,

But I crumbled through all of my might,

My skin crashed onto the water below,

The eruption terrorized the quiet peace,

My body still and calm,

But my heart was up with it's lease,

My eyes drifted past my memories,

I felt myself slowly let go,

I fought with all of my strength,

But my effort started off too slow.
