My heart does pump and thump
the core of me
my beating heart.
Onward she goes with no breath taken
alive making no mistakes
my beating heart.
Commanding all with every beat
giving living life while being discreet
my beating heart.
She works in sync without a stop
oh how I need you
my dear beating heart.

I know
I haven’t been
the best mother
daughter, lover
you’ve ever seen.
I tried my best
I did
I did
even thou
it doesn’t seem.
Please forgive
move beyond
to
the best place
we’ve ever been.

Snow falls light
in the morning sunlight
birds feed and fly
squirrels run and glide
thru trees
way, way up high.
No one knows
what this day will bring
when birds sing, squirrels call
and
winter melts into spring.

In another place, another time
This lady
Was my nursery rhyme.
She held me close, she kept me far
She taught me to believe
In my star.

I’ve seen a light
to guide me thru the darkest
most treacherous night.
It’s beam radiates truth
love and light
holding my heart, my hand
my sight.
Trusting in it’s glowing light
I make it to the morning
the glorious morning light.

You haven’t seen
nor do you know
the treachery
I can, I will
bestow.
For what reason
frankly
I don’t know.
Bitter
black heart
this
is what I know.

No one told, no one said
the secrets hidden deep
beneath my childhood bed.
Monsters and thoughts
so deep
didn’t make sense
to a little child trying to sleep.
Only my mother and father
could keep
those things below
my mattress and my sheets.
Letting me just spend the night
counting sheep.

Thinking about
remembering when
life was easy
and
very different
Was then just a step
I tread upon
to reach the sky
and
beyond?
Did I obtained
my desires
or
should I sit back,
sit down
and
begin again?

He died today
But really
Tomorrow.
We said goodbye
With such
Great sorrow.
No heart could
Break
As much as ours.
We sobbed and sobbed
We knew there would be
No tomorrow.
