nowhere
Hot hit's on street corner offering life giving...
nothing
Prostitutes and pimps partying like there's no tommorrow...
for some it never comes
Standing
The rows of people arrayed before you straining to hear
Talking
Reading/Reciting/Saying nonsensical words in no particular order for an audience
Listening
Trying to comprehend that which not even the thoughts originator really knows
Learning
The best way to recieve is by giving
Teaching
Opening up the pathway of the mind which will require the thinker to become
Standing
When the golden sun gives off it last blaze of glory between the branchs of the urban forest
When the hot tar pavement glows red not with blood of mortal death but death of the immortal day
When the jeweled masses finally realize that only the night sky was meant for diamonds so beautiful
Then
Poetry By My Sister
Dream
Twisting, turning, and falling around,
Filling the hall with echoes abound.
Out a window, down the lane
People question; is it quite sane?
Runs through the meadow and past the book.
Passing a fisher with his bait and his hook.
Startles the deer and frightens the snake,
And yet, what is this that comes in its wake?
Chasing the child and bringing a chill
All by the force of its powerful will.
The child, she stumbles, and then presses on.
Fleeing the memory of something gone wrong.
She sees the cottage, and then breathes a sigh,
But the thing follows her with a loud piercing cry.
Dashing inside and bolting the door,
She prays, "Creature, hunt me no more!"
It bashes the door and then shows its claws,
Breaking right through, it shows her no pause,
But jumps upon her and she, with a scream
Wakes up; "Thank goodness, only a dream!"
Love is Gracious
Love is gracious, love is good;
Love is best when it's understood.
Many people thing that love's just a game
And one day they find themselves crying out blame.
At those who didn't tell them that love may mean pain
Which lingers long after the end of the game.
But if you are patient and can learn from the past,
You will get past the pain and find love that will last.
