Source: Tears rolling down the heartstring
The fight we had at one a.m.
Will be the last we will have
Because this day will last forever
Forevever in our minds it stays
And as I'm thinking of it
I hear a car door slam
So then I let her in to take
The things she most loved
About the times that we gave
The first lover, gave you pain
The last day, gave you more
Zf the way you left him
Gives the next time less pain
Remember
The last day of the first lover
She came to pick up her things
Not a word did she say
She held back those sad tears
Not one did she drop
And then the door swings closed
But in her heart it knows
She will cry all the way home
And again when she's alone
Can you remember the last day of the first lover?

4 Seasons
by Mark Stellinga
Source: Phonetical Imagery
Autumn sheds her brilliant beauty,
Painting pictures on the ground.
Twirling leaves of gold, and crimson,
brush the lawn without a sound.
Sketching scenes with cooler mornings,
Winter now is ling'ring near.
Scenes which soon will conquer Autumn,
ending thus, another year.
Snow, but flakes, will soon drift lightly,
turning white the frigid land.
Trees, that stand like frozen corpses,
look as dead at Winters' hand.
Yet, the hard, cold snow will soften,
trees their buds will quickly gain.
Flowery flames will melt the meadonws,
No reminders will remain.
Showers then will sprinkle gently,
leaves again, with Spring, return.
Bleak and lifeless limbs no longer,
Summers' sun again will burn,
Kindling fires of gold and crimson,
stretching brightly, east to west.
Blazing leaves again for Autumn,
Beauty reigns with her success.....
