Rain

Rain


She sits in the heavens,
Looking down but always with us.
It brings her confusion;
Why we’ll bicker, fight and fuss.
Wishes she could fix it,
But leave us to our nature she must.

She will never understand why.
A tear rolls down her cheek, she cries…

Rain

An angel in full glory,
More to bear witness to our acts.
She wants to interfere,
Yet knows this is against her pact.
She cannot do a thing,
She is helpless on our behalf.

Watches as another innocent dies,
As her eyes fill yet again, she cries…

Rain

She tries to touch our hearts,
To help save us from our own ways.
But we never listen,
We linger in anguish our days.
Content with grief and sorrow,
Completely blinded by our haze.

Inhumanity through her eyes,
Tears falling off her chin, she cries…

Rain

Until we change she continually cries,
Can we stop it falling from the skies…

Rain

The Ugly Girl

The Ugly Girl

In her eyes innocence,
but the color they do not like.
Her soul is beautiful,
yet against it they strike.

Her body no defects,
but still it begets their scorn.
A beautiful creature,
yet they leave her feeling torn.

Her mind is quite graceful,
but they love to break her down.
She always tries to smile,
yet they seek to make her frown.

Her inside is perfect,
but they judge on the outside.
She tries hard to be strong,
yet they have at her till she's cried.

It's every womans nightmare,
but they have very little remorse,
So she tries to defend,
yet they are vultures on a corpse.

She knows there's beauty here,
but they make her wish she'd died.
So hard she tries to cling,
yet they push her to suicide.

They have finally done it,
but they don't care she's left this world.
They free themselves of guilt,
yet they had killed the ugly girl.

A Letter To The Lion

A Letter To The Lion.

Dearest Lion,

    I had to write you this,
Simply just had to show,
Although you gave me hurt,
Bravery I now Know.
Encounters we have had,
Scars left with every blow,
I tried to escape you,
But as always too slow,

To you Lion,

I owe all that I am,
Not that credit is due,
Your intent my demise,
Not to build but subdue,
Through relentless stalking,
My courage only grew,
In face to face battles,
My strengths became true,

In you Lion,

I faced all of my fears,
Learned to cast away doubt,
Learned to heal my wounds,
Learned to go without,
Learned to hold my head,
Minus mighty kings clout,
Learned how to survive,
Just what life was about,

From you Lion,

I have got many a gift,
By acts not from your heart,
With pain and suffering,
Those gifts you did impart,
Teaching me oh so well,
From now back to the start,
Some people truly say,
Your greatest work of art,

To you Lion,

I now must say goodbye,
Bury you in sands of past,
I have learned to distance,
Learned to move so fast,
Once I was so afraid,
Now I know I will outlast,
Between then and future,
There is a new contrast,

Thank you Lion,

Though you have wounded me,
Those wounds in time will heal,
Though you had weakened me,
A greater strength I  feel,
You tried hard to kill me,
But myself was revealed,
All you truly accomplished,
Was build me by ordeal,

With love despite your way,
Sincerely,
Your always elusive prey
