If You
If you bet a nickel, win a dime
study to become a numismatist
in your spare time
an' if you work hard
at following this rhyme
you just might find
your life sublime
Literature
Darkness
Once I looked at you in awe
Now, I look not at all
There was a time where your presence was a bringer of joy
Today, the great absence leaves me in the darkest pits
Misery remains within
A constant once again
To live without your light
Is to face eternal night
Once more I put pen to page
To mark the changing of the age
There is a dawn at the end of the night
If my eyes but could see beyond the blight
As I breath this day,
Would that I could stay
Peace returns to my heart
Light once more in my art
As the day begins to close
Slowly I breath out the nose.

Home
Utter darkness. The type that only exists during power outages. If it wasn't for the rattling of the street lamps as gusts buffeted their casings, audible even above the yowl of the wind, I might have believed the lamps had never existed. There were impressions of swirling black movement as leaves swept into the air. No lightning flash or thunder rumbled, but rain and hail spattered the windows and the wind screamed around the corners of the house. The panes shook under the onslaught in their ancient putty casements, though held firm. The cottage had seen this, and worse, many times before. Yes, it has stood. Through every storm, awaiting the next one.
I pulled back from the reflecting window glass, my flickering reflection appearing wraith-like, obscuring the glimpses of exterior motion and making the outside seem like the infinite blackness on the far side of flames. For a moment, I considered drawing shut the heavy velvet drapes, but stayed my hand. Something told me you were near
Literature
Stormy weather
I look outside the window
looking at the dark people with their
dark dreams
the life could be so much better
if the people understood each other.
Fight or flight is your only possibility
they will hunt you and
want to destroy you
with smile on their faces.
Lets join the party
do not give up
we might all see one day
the world got better.
