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. :)

This Feeling...IDK

Feeling wretched
feeling vile
give me something
to defile
annoyance roots
anger burns
let me retch
my stomach churns
fire blown out
first sigh
never, never
shout
look to a mirror
look deep
find your soul
don't weep
match the soul to image
make yourself happy
forget to cringe
be happy.

eh...it's ok... *shrug*

Fire

Windows catching
on the brink
pitter, patter
pitter, patter
dripping in the sink
Glazed smoke
hides the charr
click, tap
click, tap
reveal the scar
Doors banging
opening to none
creak, crash
creak, crash
this place is done.

This was inspired by my ex-fiance's house burning down last week. I was sad to hear about it. It was my home for three years. I was sad to lose some of my own items that I hadn't been able to recover yet. I was also sad for him and his girlfriend and baby that they lost everything they had. Also, thankful that I was not still there, for I would have lost everything. I don't think I could handle that.

Help Me Escape

Drowning under flourescent lights
swallow me whole
the dark night
in a hole of selfishness, sinking
I tear my soul
where am I going?
The road is lit
lined with light poles
but I still can't see it
I'll follow tails lights
but it takes its toll
swinging on the tail of this kite
hoping to end up somewhere for safe keeping
where I hope, want and am meant to be, full.
happy. content, life done sucking.
tired... tired of sleeping. Stop it!
this dreaming lull
I need to escape it.

Feeling very emotional his weekend. Things going on that are making me feel like I'm stuck in place, not really moving. I am not happy. Why can't I achieve in life, what I want? It's so annoying... grrr. *cry*
