Dark Willow

Alone I stand,
Under the willow,
Nothing but leaves
Surround me,
Veil me, Hide me
From all I know,
Deep in feeling,
Dark, Cold
Like an endless well,
Drowning deep and hidden
From those I know,
Ripples drifting,
Outward, slowly moving
On a salty lake,
Moon shimmering,
Wavering, Standing
Alone in the midnight sky.

Empty sky,
Alone in the darkness
of midnight,
Peaceful, Desolate
In hollow space,
Empty from existance,
Small, Distant
like a hopeful star,
Shinning but far
From where I am,
Unmoving, Still
No closer then before,
Yet no further,
Leaves sway in part
under the Willow.

Leaves moving,
Slowly swinging,
Parting, Showing
A sky of stars,
Alone, Together
A communty in darkness,
Light the midnight sky,
Bright, Silent
In their own space,
Dark under the willow,
Leaves closed,
Leaving solitude,
Alone now,
Alone under
The Willow.
am i not?
just as well
for a meaning i had not
nor purpose to serve
as is my sentance
to last my life
purpose not found
for a meaning i had not
just as well
is it not?
Assylum!
He cried,
Assylum!
Hide me,
The world
I see,
Its too real,
Too much for me,
I appeal
To be hidden from this,
Never to be revealed
The world I see.
America The Beautiful
Awake I lay here dreaming,
Times we spent together,
So many,
So far away.

I think of your embrace,
The way you held me closely,
Your head against my shoulder,
Your body close to mine.

Our kisses shall never leave my mind,
Unplanned and yet perfect,
The feeling lingers with me still,
The thought we shared.

First time I held your hand,
I had to force myself to try,
I finally did it,
The feeling is unforgettably amazing.

I dream of the evening that we kissed,
I held you hands and we hugged,
I didn't want to let you go,
Just then we kissed,
Now your with me forever.

I remember teh time at the party,
It hurts me just to think of it,
The way that we were together,
I miss you so much.

I wonder why we must be apart,
Your parents distrust me,
"we were to young to love,"
That much I know not true.

I think that I will withstant,
The test of time,
I know that this cannot go on forever,
I dream that I will be here at the end.

With you.
Tired,
Sick of everything,
Done too much,
Yet never enough,
Ready to stop,
But I keep going,
Aways looking for,
Hoping for,
A better tommorrow,
It never seems to come,
Yet never stop hoping,
Wish I didn't care,
Don't want to keep on,
Others need me,
Wondering how long it'll last,
And when the end will come.
Life is,
Wondering, waiting,
Never knowing what will come next.
Laughten, tears,
All equal in joy and pain.
Birth, death,
All that lies between is how we see it.
Life is as we take it,
See it,
Change because of it.
