Rest in Peace

Rest in peace, little one

Rest in peace

Your troubles are over, little one

Rest in peace


 

You looked death in the face

Little one

And did not flinch


 

Pain

Oh, the pain you endured


 

All because of your love,

Little one

Be not afraid


 

They talk of justice, little one

They talk of peace

But who, little one, noticed

When you suffered?


 

Pray, little one

You are safe now

They have offered me my life for my love.
They will kill us all- unless we surrender lovely Julian.
He is more than what he seems. He is the chosen one; I see that now.
How could anyone do this to him? And how can he not do it? He is too noble to let them kill us all.
They will hand him over, and he will go.
Lovely Julian!
They have offered our lives for my love.

Behold, he speaks!
He says he will go. He will betray himself to death to save lives. If it will save lives. This he has determined to do, and he will not turn back.

Wailing Seas

Wailing seas

Rushing waves

Moonless sky

Soundless land

 

Burning stars

Calling wind

Endless shore

Sunless breeze

 

Beaming moon

Sinking sun

Starless night

Shadowless eyes   

 

Wailing sea

Rushing waves

Moonless sky

Soundless land

For my Grandmother

Submitted by Clare Marie on Tue, 10/13/2009 - 23:05

**Written and dedicated to my grandma in the month of her death, September 2008.....We were very, very close.**

 

I was alone

And yet not alone

Because thoughts

Of you

Were with me

I sang

The last song

I ever sang to you

And it ripped my heart

Like claws

I let thoughts

Of you

Fill my head

Because then I lived

Those moments

Over again

And again

I heard your laugh

Saw your smile

And I cried

I wished I could grab you

And pull you

Standing Again

Submitted by Bridget on Tue, 09/15/2009 - 23:45

Hanging by my fingertips
Slipping further every day.
Nothing I can do.
I wish there was a way,
Away from here.
Get me away from here.

Talking to myself.
I guess I'm going mad.
I thought it would be awful,
But it's really not so bad.
I'm here.
I have to be here.

Waking with a scream
Of piercing agony.
Insanity was better;
At least then I was free.
So much fear.
I hate it here.

I'm barely alive
But I'll be okay.
Time heals everything

And Love and Hurt Collided

 Give me ten seconds to look into your eyes

To see if there is anything left I recognize

Have six months become meaningless?

Everything I thought I knew is suddenly worthless

I’m wearying of this fatal little dance

Because a phone can be a deadly weapon in your hands

 

Is there a problem with the network?

I don’t want to believe you just said that

 

God if there is anything good left, I would love to see it now

If you can tell me, I would like to know how

To stand by and watch her slowly kill herself
