The Old Millstone

A fog rolled into the leafless hollow
Fallen and faded of glorious color
A withering rug of molding mass
Growing dark is dank November
In the midst of a life in crises
So lies swollen shut
My eyes are cried with cold
Blurry is first glimpse of snow

Now water running clean and sober
Down streambed past a boulder
Scored with ancient glacial scars
Across its smooth face bored
As stories born shiny and wet
So waits freezing still
My breath clouds into my face
Mixing with the fog that brews

And now, across a squeaking bridge
Floor of sagging wood grows moss
Hiding rot from within its mass
Cracked and rusted its paint peels
And loosens old skinny nails
So goes aging time
My heart grows weaker while
I pass the old millstone by

About this poem:
Once an old mill stood near an old covered bridge..and all that remains of the mill is the old millstone that now rests half buried in the streambed...below the falls...under the bridge...down an old dirt road late this fall creates my mood in free verse.

my head in the clouds

Dreams linger in the mist of memories leaving hopes of love to always last. Rcurrence of moments never to be, as sadness becomes past. Buried wounds look for the suns new day,for happiness rides on its rays and glisten in waters ripples of time.Listen to the nights lonly cries as the moon behind clouds hide, and joy of stars sweet glare.

perpetual night

I sighed,
"Why do I try so hard?",
I look to the sky,
Staring at stars,
No answers fall and all is dark,
There's only me,
Alone in my heart,
Continually tearing myself apart,
The beginning ending before it starts...

A glow glowing
A glow that turns gray
Gray as death itself
When the glow goes out
And when another light
A joint that burns
creates illusions
Want to escape reality
The cold, hard reality
Drunk and High
The cloud of cotton
I lie down
I am no longer in this world
Happy I walk down the street
Illusions of a joint
A fire that burned
A passion that became extinct gray
A life and thousands who want to escape
As drunk in this country

Darkness Falls

For in the turmoil
of your soul you
feel the loneliness
the pain.
You feel the emptiness
what shall replace it.
You try, but still
you have an empty
whole there.
Alone
Darkness
in an empty room.
I feel this every
day as if my existence
is just that
nothing
no meaning.
I lean to God to
help me through this
dark time in my life.
He is my strength
my father
my redeemer
my friend
Lord help me now and
until the end.

he still kills

I dont know know to say
i dont know what to do
it only happens when i think of you
you haunt my mind
and destory my dreams
i cannot get away from you
no matter how hard i try
the only color i know see is red
as it slides down
the pressure is released
and you gone for a while
the metal sits on the table
hot from where it was held
so rough
this is wrong i know it
but no one will listen
no oneunderstands
what is happening inside my head
he wont go away
he never will
he has always been there
since i was a little girl
what do i do
what do i say
to make these thoughts go away
nothing makes sence
i doubt it ever will
i just want someone to talk to
but no one will
i take up to much time
take up to much space
how do i know who to trust
who wont tell my secrets
i have to go now
to try and sleep
but he will rid me of peaceful dreams
this time i will be tempted but will not exacute
for seven years now that i have done
it is time to stop this
i dont know what to do
or what even to feel
for now i will fake smiles
and happy faces
but in my heart
because of him
i will slowly die

The Raging Storm!

?

The Raging Storm!

Shattering the darkness it’s frenzy gave a fright!

It’s winds did rage and lightening tore the night

It was such a fray, the thunder had it way

The shutters banged loosened by the storm

The wind did howl … More then the norm

A ship went down, deep into the sea

I feared the waters depth was over thee

The ghosts of the sea, with seaweed in their hair

Howled with glee, were everywhere

The moon disappeared, stars nowhere

I am in fear, where thy be?

The Castle winds roared thru chambers

Lantern and candles lit, shone on empty spaces

Drapes were torn and flags flew from damaged walls places

Spears and swords and empty knights armor were all askew in dismay

The storm was bad, it had it’s day

I searched and searched for thee
Under beds and behind castle doors

Every place where this storm roars

Violent lightening did come down

It hit the trees and pierced the ground

And when the storm was finally through

I searched and searched and then found you

You came for shelter in my arms

We found each other and the storm was done!

Lips

My lips shake
swollen from my teeth, I've been holding this inside so long
as I release the grip,I softly exhale
its the right time to say it but the time feels so wrong.

My heartbeats, irregular rhythm as if it's too broken to play its usual song
the pain is pleasure
the pain is gone

Black lips, white teeth, pink gums, red tongue
but the words colourless, speechless
they are yet to be born, raise my voice again
however i'm still an embryo to the truth

Purposeful Pain

Every scar has its start,
Every start, its ending,
Every healing has its beginning,
Closure, sending,
Mine to a new life,
A new story to tell,
Bleeding will stop,
Cold & pale,
Searching for,
Whats joy,
Looking for,
My bit of happiness,
Long before,
Blood spit ominous,
Looking to,
New fate,
New life,
New place,
Foreboding,
A new start.
Its ending,
Its mark,
Its healing,
A new scar,
Journey gone,
Too far,
& now I'm lost,
Looking for a new start.
Will you find me,
Give me new scar?

About this poem:
Not all pain is so bad. M.O.M. I rise above. To the top of a ladder to rain down with love, as I leave my body, energy entrapped, frantically & freely running, never looking back. (written 2-12-'12)

~~ DISEMBODIED ~~ ©

Spirits of the ceased
the disembodied souls of all the people
Specter show your apparition
malign intent toward human evil
Make your presence known to the living
supernatural & interchangeable
I am here still breathing for now
... so steal my breath for yourself...& come...COME! OUT!

The principle of life.
The inevitable death.
Let us be the visitors we are,
to what you envision from afar,
enter a 4th dimension,
a new star,
pay attention as we scar,
our flesh for sacrificial,
scents of blood,
sense of life,
nothing but love,
I FEEL SOO ALIVE!!!
Heightened & free energy,
WAKE THE DEAD TO COME & PLAY WITH ME!!!©

About this poem:
I feel so alive connecting with things which don't need reason. Don't need cause, they don't need proof. I know what I believe in. I don't expect anyone to understand but then again I'm not asking you to. Astral projection is true. For my one, these words will always lead me to you.
