Life


Cold, white, fire blazing and bursting Shredding marrow,
bone and tissue as it drives the bits and pieces deep into paint
and plaster Intense and unending,
exploding again andagain and again

Death


A shotgun shell rips through my skull
a single sound
A vehicle bearing down impacts against my skull.

a screech and a snap
A leap from high up on the roof

a kiss upon the concrete
A pile of pills swallowed silently in the dark
an endless sleep

"Next is from the time spent in Depaull-Tulane Aldult Psych Unit... It is very appropriate to warn you to leave now..."


Lock Down


Locked doors and human lives,cushion, protect Preventing a lost life in a sea of lost lives Floundering souls striving for a simple balance becoming a soul gone bad

Find your paths sweet songbirds singing shrilly in my ears Take back your power from those you made more powerful than yourselves It is like game of 'capture-the-flag'
only Your soul is a stake and I will not gather them to me as I go My passing through your world is only a moment of darkness in your vision Put up your hands against the darkness and then fly freely from your perch Open your hearts to the light and fly


a lost life in a sea
of lost lives Floundering souls

 

The Beauty Within


By Bageria Bubasti Enas

From the black abyss known only as my heart, comes up out of the reckless
abandonments a creature of beauty. Wrapped in eloquenace, with the quintecent
energy of a mighty deity, a creature That has not known the fear of being alone, the
Power of the art of seducing or the hunger for vengeances against grievances of lovers
long lost. An entity of purity and love of soft gentle kisses in the moonlight. Hers is
only the passion of being that keeps her fresh and unadulterated

Not yet Raped of her innocence, She thrives on the kindness of humanity, not knowing
that it has long-since vanquished from this race of unforgiving souls. She emerges
from her long slumber and strives to become one with her surroundings and the people, tkat her “other self" has acqcainted herself with, not knowing the pain that the aforesaid has caused to so many in such a short time.

For her it has only been a long night filled with dreams of waking. Little does she
know that in reality it kas been several years since she was able to be free of the not so
tranquil cacoon of herself.

With no caution or worry, she attempts to strech out her hand to the ones She is
famliar with, the loves she has known. with no fear of being bit... yet she feels this
strange sense of her mothers abandonment!!! Heart pure, body virginal, mind adept
and spirit soaring, she flys out of the nesting place of childhood and into the reality of
adulthood not discerning there's a diffence.

Suddenly,
looking around from the heights of tke ecstacy that is being free and alive she sees
only despare for her mother, The one she has become. None here are happy to see the
vibrance of life. Instead they conspire to destroy her.... Deciding that there is too much
pain and agony here, she races back to her mother’s womb, only to find that her
mother is no longer there, but has hidden within herself, ready to take her long deserved
breath away from this world.

This saddens her. She leaps out in detemination to makes things right for both of
them, knowing that she cannot sleep any longer. That she needs to stay attentive and
must find the love that she knows is somewhere in this cold and barren place called Earth. Never losing heart nor soul, she will continue this if disparing journey till her day
of retribudon for all her mothers sins.

Tke purity only being enhanced by the corruption around it making it look as though
it is the corruption of being, instead of the purity of life.


The Dove

Kathryn Turner


Takes a breath, A snow white dove
Kisses mother, Finds Unending Love

Growing quickly, He flies away
Looking for Hope, with each new day

An enchanting site, before his eyes
A female dove, at the pond she lies

His life is full, His hope has come
Through his joy, toward her he runs

The shot rang out, Downward he fell
Hitting the ground, Hard as a bell

What happen to him, his dreams to end?
His life to save, his heart to mend

No one to come, No one to care
Would anyone help, No one would dare

One drop then two, Bleeding from his chest
He knew for sure, soon would hertst

Is that a light, that shown from above?
Could it be, someone cares for a littledove?

Give me your life, he says to this little one
I love you, for you are my precious son

Who are you? He calls in despair
I'm so small, Why do you care?

Little one, sweet child, I am your Father
I love you and made you, that’s why I bother

Give me your life, I Gave you mine
Your heart will mend, but it will take time

A longtime it seems, A lifetime perhaps
But True love needs time, to fill ail our gaps
Take hope my friends, Take care and see
Time will tell, How loved we will he

 

 

Self esteem

What does it mean to me?
Self esteem,
Can't you see has no value to me!
Self Esteem,
I just can't believe in what you see in me.
Self Esteem,
What need have I for
Self Esteem.
Self Esteem,
It is meaningless to me!
Self Esteem,
Why should I care or believe in
Self Esteem?

What is beautiful?

What is beautiful.
Is it long hair?
The right color of eyes?
Perfect teeth?
a cemeterical face?
Chisled bodies?
Or is it
A sweep of the hair,
a Longing look,
a warm unperfect smile.
A lovers embrace?
What is beautiful
to you superficial
physical appearance
or a warm caring heart?
