Illness
Illness creeps through the soul, Which way will it go? Will it pass without a thought, Or will weakness inevitably be wrought? It creeps up silent, takes us unaware, It pounces without mercy, with no care. Weak and trembling. Feverish and unending, There is no telling the path it takes Continue reading

Consumed
It will take us, it will shred us. It will use us up, if we let it. This world that we call our home. This place we roam, always alone. It drives us mad with its demands, Driving us on, towards the summer lands. Can we stop it? I think not. We found out too Continue reading

Sanity
Sanity departs in unexpected times. When things happen that can break your mind. We block out it, hide from the sight. As inside it grows, a festering blight. It eats at up, seeking every chance, To take out bodies, in a cruel dance. It echoes through the heart and soul. Waiting to send us into Continue reading

Better
They say it always gets better in the end. Yet I must ask a simple question, when? When do the feelings of heart ache ease. When is the pain inside at peace? When do I wake up without this bitter longing? Or without the loneliness I find so appalling? Is it when the tears no Continue reading

Thoughts
Forlorn thoughts drift through the mist. Each one wields a desperate wish. Plaguing the mind with creeping doubts Making one wish to scream and shout. There is no one to help in the tying times. We simply buckle down and pretend to be fine. Yet we are not, far from it inside. The place where Continue reading

Losing Your Voice
The screaming and shouting take their toll. They make one dive into a shell. To fight back makes it worse, For do you not live already in hell? If you say anything it grows so much worse. Keep silent and they still make it hurt. Sometimes you think you’ll leave in a hearse, As they Continue reading

Shadowy things
Twisting, burning, ever seeking. Shadows seeping, mists are creeping. Through the blackened abyss they go, Onward to spread despair and woe. Through our minds, a victim they will find. In chains of doubt they will surely bind. Fetters of insecurity, thoughts so unkind. With these they bind us, make us blind. We seek escape, will Continue reading

Snapping time
Nothing can compare, to the stories that we share. When we take our seat in that chair, do our work with cheerful care. Snap, crack, pop in the pan. Take another in your hand. Tear the end, pull the string. That’s the way we string a bean. Sitting here having fun, telling stories in the Continue reading

Wish
I wish things would not change That the times stay always the same. That no one had to shoulder blame, Or play such painful games. I wish for happiness and good luck, For things of joy instead of doubt. For memories of the past to stay put up, And for the terror to not make Continue reading

Wondering
Travel through life See all the great places Let the memories fill, All of those wide spaces. See the sun creep over the hill Let the warmth of it your body fill. See the Majesty of its rising. And behold all of the good tidings. See the ocean if you can, The great blue expanse, Continue reading
