clouds and rainbows, dawns early light
sunsets and moonlight, still of the night
hopes and fears, laughter and tears
memories collected throughout the years
decisions and choices, some with regrets
lessons in life one never forgets
far away places, wishes and dreams
magical moments the four seasons bring
heartfelt emotions, romance and love
holding hands beneath the stars above
poetry is a canvas when I want to say
my inner most thoughts in a special way

~PAPER COUNTRY~

I left my heart in a country
I spent so my days
a picture perfect portrait
of a place so far away

Reflections of a childhood
seems so long ago
all the colors in a rainbow
so lovely to behold

Pretty paper country
isn't what it seems
burning at the edges
my pretty paper dreams

It only took one match
to fill my heart with pain
helpless as I watched
my world go up in flames

There's nothing left but ashes
and tear stains on my face
it was only made of paper
now gone without a trace
