Four paws

One big heart

Kept us safe

In our dreams

Empty bed

Silent house

Tearful eyes

Missing paws

Though you’re gone

Love remains

Etched in hearts

Easing pains

Across the bridge

You wait for us

Until that day

We hold you near

Our furry friend

Forever dear...

Growing Strong

Growing strong

I wish it didn’t last so long

I gnaw and claw and gnash,

Trying to escape in a dash

I can’t

It builds character, Right?

Going through the things you do,

But I don’t want to fight

I’m worn through

I’m tired

‘It makes you stronger’

Maybe so,

But I can’t take this any longer

I think im falling below

I need help...

Lion’s Gate Blue

dreamer

Having to protect someone awakens the most primal pit of my spirit.

I am in the animal kingdom when instinct takes over.

I am the lit match inside the gasoline lined room.

I am the broken barrier of sound and mind.

I am all of the blood of my Viking ancestors spilt over and spat onto the face of my enemy.

I am God’s ugliest fallen angel.

I am the threat....

Athaiah

goodness athaiah I swear

you came from sunshine itself.

the sun chooses to touch your golden hair

in the most beautiful field of flowers it wants to shine on nothing else

and you pick a sunflower and it falls in love right then

because it heard your laughter and joined in too

but the dandelion loved you all over again

and they fought and fought over you.

but the birds heard your song and they ...

Fate

She wasn’t there when fate came calling

She had left ages before

Not Waiting for a prince to save her

She wasn’t there when fate came calling

Her footprints on a journey through mountains

Where she got to chose to go left or right

She wasn’t there when fate came calling

Her laughter echoing through hillsides

Not care who was listening

She wasn’t there when fate came calling

Her life long lon...

Good?Bye

Danny Writes

How can it be goodbye,

When it’s going to break my heart?

How can it be farewell,

When it’s sending me back to the start?

I’m going to miss you,

As if oxygen suddenly disappeared,

And I can’t stop this,

The thing that I’ve always feared,

How can it be goodbye,

When everything is going wrong?

How can it be farewell,

When it’s going to last so long?

What is life without you?

I truly can’t rememb...

To Exist In Regret

Winter Falls

1 min read

I wish I had never let go

But the thought of it’s presence suffocated me almost as much as enduring it’s presence

However, to be fair, we all take light for granted until we are trapped in the depths of darkness with no escape

Maybe there is a lesson to learn, but I am too blinded by the vacancy to see beyond the tragedy at hand

So what now? How do I move forward in a world of poor judgement and ...

Concern

“It’s too soon…” Tulu breathed as she left her chambers, closing the thick oak door, locking it with the brush of her fingers. “It’s barely been a week since the Bond was broken”, she thought to herself, concerned, as a warm breeze began to sweep beneath her feet. She started to slide across the cool, damp stone, slowly at first, then more quickly as she gained momentum.

She rounded a corner as s...

My Friend

“Leave him along!” I screamed at the other boys. They were picking on my friend Mark, he was mentally challenged. They had pushed him to the ground and were laughing at him. “Hey retard get up.”. I ran over and began pushing the bullies away. They were unrelenting when it came to Mark, and picked on him every day, but I had enough.

I got between Mark and the biggest boy, Brian. I stood in front o...
