A WHITE ROSE
it has long been thought
and long forgotten
what this flower really means
everyone knows
but somehow it slipped
so soon as they have learned
that this beautiful flower
symbolizes like a birth
of an innocent child
into this world
the innocence of a sinful mind
and let us never forget
that it reminds us
who truly loves us
for what and who
we really are
THE CHOICE
there comes a time
when we all must
decide upon what
we will do in this life
and what is expected
of us in that great beyond
when we meet and be judged upon
our actions rather
good or bad that we did
upon this earth
and to those that inhabit it
THE BLACKNESS WITHIN
he sat and wondered
if what he thought was right
was really wrong
and what of this pain he felt
deep inside of his very soul
and the agony he has had to endure
because he had not the strength
to go on living
his endless lie
so the blackness grew
until the very end
'til his dying breath
was nothing more
than darkness
SUNLIGHT
I looked around
expecting to see light
but the clouds were there
to say there's no way
for you to see the sunlight
or the sunshine
then if as in response
the sun burst through
and at last I finally
saw the light
PETALS FALLING
the rose faltered
in his hand
as he saw his loved one
with another
he slowly walked away
sad and lonely
letting the rose drop free
his hands
the rose hit the ground
and the petals shattered
he looked down and sighed
its poetic justice
as the wind swept away
the rose petals
as his life
was swept away
MURDER
he thought about it
for a very long time
but to do it
to kill someone
in actual murder
he walked up to him
pulled out his knife
and with a quick action
slashed deeply into flesh
as blood ran throgh his knife
and the body fell
to the ground
in a heap
then as quickly
as he appeared
he disappeared
into the darkness
MY MEANT TO BE
you are my sun
shining so brightly in the sky,
making my day just a little better
because you are there
and I am your moon
always looking down
and watching over you
especially when you dream,
to chase all the bad dreams away
sleep well, and know I love you
and that our rings
bind more than just flesh
but also our souls as well
