death by you

Have you ever killed some one,
and thought about what you did?
That was some ones child.
Maybe some ones mother or farther.
Some one loved!
Ever had their eyes haunting your nights?
Ever relived the moment they toke their last breath?
I have two more questions for you.
Were you proud of what you did?
Are you still proud?
And I don't care if they were your worst enemy;
they were still a human being.
I'm not a hippie. I just don't understand all the blood. 

why?

There are scars here.
They can never be healed
Nor patched up.
The trees are gone.
The rivers going to stop soon.
The oceans filled with salt.
You never seem to care
unless it's coming to you.
But what about us?
The generation after you.
Will there be anything left
to come into the world to?
Do you even care if there is?
How long will it take for you to notices?
To notice what you are doing to yourselves,
to us.

spirits

Whispering their stories into my ear,
Thinking of all people I'd hear.
Telling me about their life,
Sometimes about their husband or wife.
But only telling me at night
And giving a fright
When I turn on the light.

anger

Is the black hole that engulfs us.
It can move as fast as a cheetah,
Yet slowly takes us over.
Like a serpent coiling us to its will,
Poisoning our minds.

Ringo

His eyes hold all the forests.
His pelt bares the mountains.
His limbs as tall as trees.

owls

I wake at night.
I sleep at light.
Pray do not hear,
Till I'm to near.
I eat voles and mice.
They taste mighty nice.
Till they run out,
Then I shall shout.

Vincent

My one crinkled ear points me out.
My chipped tooth makes my look vicious,
And that was all they saw.
I was there so long I went on clearance.
Will I ever be free of this cage?
Then one day a woman came.
She looked past my features,
And saw the teddy bear inside me.
She toke me home that day,
And my life has been good ever since.

my mind

My mind is like My room, not always organized
My eyes are like tree bark with little green moss

My ears are silent, yet they know More then I
My heart holds love, enough for all the anImals
That goes far beyoNd what you can see
And beyonD   what even I can feel.

Nada

Only a pup when she lost her mother
Had to move to another
Was only the size of her head
Had to go so many times to bed
Was so clumsy upon her feet
Now more neat
Well
I think 

rain

Always falling to the ground
Making it easy to dig down
Following you around
Makes you want to jump for joy,
Knowing things will die no more
Will be your friend forever
When you can't sleep,
It will sing you a lullaby.

butterfly, butterfly

Butterfly, butterfly there on that stump.
Admiring yourself in that peace of glass.
Think yourself high on that little old stump.

Butterfly, butterfly where are you going?
Are you late for a ball,
Or perhaps,
Going to the mall?

Butterfly, butterfly I follow your trail,
To a hollow tree.
But there you stop at the entrance,
You just stop.

Butterfly, butterfly why have you stopped?
Then to my surprise,
You transformed in front of my very eyes.

Butterfly, butterfly you're turning human!
Your wings folding into a wonderful dress,
Antennae turning into long black hair.

Butterflies, butterflies all in one room.
Dancing so lovely, in their robes and dresses
For everyone to see.
Show all

a quiet poem

A colorful flowerbed on a cool crisp morning,
A bare forest in the dead of the night,
One of the oldest trees whispering to its   descendents in the slight breeze,
And me,
On the porch watching it all.

curiosity

Cool like a spring night
Sounds like the evening breeze calling you out
Tastes like late summer trout
Smells like the freshly cut grass
Looks like crystal clear glass
Feels like a smooth rock of a river
Moves like the falling timber
Yellow like the sun
Hot like the summer light

Tiny

Her golden eyes like keyholes into her past.
Her golden whisker shows the life she almost lost,
In the cold November rain.
Her untrustworthiness towards others is as black as a starless night without a moon.
Her body matched her name to measures you couldn't believe.
Her heat holds the stench of abandonment,
Which is the deepest cut of all.
She lives in her cold undecided mind,
Eating nothing but her own insecurity.
