I made sure they had foodso they’d stand up nice and tallI was always looking after themso they wouldn’t die and fall. I was proud of what we grewand I showed it toContinue reading “Flowers”

Angels
I have angels that surround my headand tell me where to goThere’s some that tuck me into bedand some I even know. They’ve wiped all of the tears I’ve shedand watch me as I growI’ve never gone a day unfed they lift me when I’m low. I listen to the words they’ve saidand see theContinue reading “Angels”

About the love he blindly lostAnd wished he could repair“Now genie for my final wishI pray that you dont missAnd take me back into the time in which I reminisce.”He laughs and lifts a single handThats balled into a fistHe waves his pointer finger outAnd states heContinue reading “Venting To My Genie”
Fresh Air
You’re the freshest breath of airA beautiful painting that grabs my stareWith style so impeccableAnd every bit of flair. I’d give you every waking minuteWithout a single careFor you I’d walk a thousand miles Or a hundred flights of stairs. The highest peak I’ve ever climbedBut still your weather’s fairLike raspberry jam and peanut butterWeContinue reading “Fresh Air”
Lonely Nights
When I close my eyesI see your faceIt takes me backTo my favorite placeI see the trees The open spaceI feel your kissesYour warm embraceThe ones I missAnd cant replaceYou soothed my soulMy saving graceBut now youre goneYouve left this placeNow only in dreamsCan I see your face.
