Lost At Sea, Kindness Was Her Name, The Wind is A Friend of mine
Lost at Sea
A pointless existence
maybe
A drowning man yells
“save me”
Save me from all the trouble of today
the forgotten sorrow of the past
and the thief that is tomorrow
It steals in the night
the souls of today
as time watches higher
than the morning sky
teary eyed water falls
and cleanses the dirty thoughts
of humankind
For what can be given
can always be taken away
A blink of an eye
is the difference
between you and me
For the man who thought he could fly
is now forever lost at sea
Kindness Was Her Name
if kindness could kill
would she part her devil tainted lips?
would the killing be quick?
or would her kiss linger,
like the remanence of her lipstick
would her dreams come true too soon?
only so that her rushed-crush
could taint both her spirit and her taste for women?
Kindness plays tricks
on whomever will listen
Telling sweet lies
And blowing even sweeter kisses
She paints a picture of her life
with fifty shades of red
each stroke made carefully
with a needle
and pricked finger
She lets you see
her raw beauty
and invites you to do the same
you fall for her slow smile
and open heart
You wish you could hold back
but her gaze is deadly
She breathes you in,
so that likewise you are
instantly intoxicated by her kindness
freely given to only you
The Perfectly unplanned
Rapidly unfolds
Till kindness leaves you with nothing
but a smile and a wave
Off to kill with nothing but the hauntings
of my blood sketched painting
The Wind Is A Friend Of Mine
I lay here now
naked and afraid
In a field of roses
red like the sea
red like my heart
and my blood
and my temper
red like my passion
for the love of one-another
The wind,
Hears my cries
when no-one else does
The sun,
Kisses my cheek
after I have been beaten and bruised
The mountain’s shadow,
Covers me up
and wraps me in his arms
As my blood starts to boil,
and I cry
just a little
roses wrap my arms and legs
while the wind dries my tears
all the while,
the sun kisses my scars
and the mountains echo my cries
till the ocean ripples,
and the bees start buzzing
and the tide grows a thousand sizes, all because of one girl laying in a field of flowers whose heart was slowly breaking
The wind,
heard her cries
And told the mountains to watch over her
The sun,
felt her passion so she lit her face with hope
The water,
tasted her tears and roared with sympathy and ache
“Why can no-one see the beauty of a broken heart! The growth of which it takes to heal, and breathe! Why must she cry all alone,
with nothing but roses and buzzing bees?”
