Swing

Swing, my child,
Swing up high,
Feeling like,
You could fly.

Swing, little bird,
Swoop and soar,
No person can catch you,
Anymore.

Swing, sweetheart,
Reach for the stars,
The cloud, the sun,
They're not that far.

Swing, dear,
Swing, swing, swing,
Glide through the air,
Float on the wing.

But now she's falling,
Through open space,
No one to catch her,
Her life a waste.

Sky Girl

#youngwritershousehold. The clouds are my pillow,. I sleep in the sky,. I drift on the wind,. I swoop, I fly,. The thunder's my anger,. My hate, rage and fire,. The rainbows, my dreams,.

In a pond a dream lies. A wishing stone, wrapped in youth, Anchored deeply, out of sight, A promise bound in truth.

Needle In My Heart

#youngwritershousehold This didn't actually happen!. For the rest of my life, My best friend had gone, She'd been stabbed with a knife, It was just wrong.

Rainbow Rain

A million drops fall from the sky. Some glitter green. While others are purple. Or violet in sheen. A drop of crystal blue. May be regretful and sad. Just as a drop of orange.

I Am Still Water

I am still water. S o f t as the breeze. Gloss upon l i p s. Drifting with ease. My surface is a mirror. S e e your reflection. Supple, untouchable s k i n. Iron complexion. Y o u are the pebble.

Beauty

beauty is the beast. upon our souls and hearts it feasts. it makes us blind to itself. behind innocent smiles it hides in stealth. yet in every place where beauty lies.
