Eyes

Framed with fringe
glossed with tears
fogged up windows
in crash fears
drip in pain
upon the frame
the soul resides
from you
I cannot hide
open windows
into my soul...

Your eyes are a window unto to your soul. beware.

Silence of being silenced

Twirl, slash
let go the sash!
Twisted in fury
sunk in hatred
curl, push
don't make the hush!
see the envy
feel the greed
stealing, stolen
watch the breath, go
sucking, shallow
gulping, desperate
strangle, die
hear the hush.

This is kind of a figurative way of saying being oppressed or silenced from your point of view or opinion is a way of socially and politically strangling a person from their rights and freedoms.

Carefree

Ten penguins
in a row
waddle, waddle
through the snow
going, going
where? I don't know.
Ten penguins
in a line
slide, swim
snow or shine
playing, playing
why? to pass the time.

Oh, how nice it'd be to be a penguin somedays...

Let's Escape

Lion, lion
on the wall
aren't you
afraid to fall?
Do you hang
by your claws?
Don't play brave
just for me
Don't you crave
to be free?
Lion, lion
on the wall
don't be
afraid to fall
I will catch
sure and true
atop your back
I will climb
and we'll run away together
leaving this classroom behind.

This came to me today at work... I like it. :)
