Sleep Little Raven

Sleep, little raven,

Close your dark eyes,

Nighttime is waiting for you.


Stars whisper softly

Through silent black skies,

Dream where the shadows pursue you.


Sleep, little raven,

Fold up your wings,

Nighttime will gently enfold you.


Hush, hear the quiet,

Where twilight now sings–

Darkness has come to console you.


Sleep, little raven,

Sink into dreams,

Night has a promise to show you.

Affirming Lullaby

You are strong, you are brave,

You are a sweet, caring person.

You are smart, you are loved,

You can accomplish hard things.


Be kind, little love,

Show others God’s light.

Give thanks to above,

And you will be fine....

Sprinting Lamb

My darling

Oh sweetheart

Your fur is so lush

The curls of your white fur

Are delicate, just like a plush

Your eyes have a glimmer of

Always in touch

Oh hush hush

My sweet lamb darling

You don’t need to rush...

Honesty Over Flattery

Love isn’t the fable to call for truth where lies none,

Nor is it the expectation that your partner will always be your fun.

It is not flattery, denial or the need for perfection,

It’s to find the underlying pattern in organised sections.


Love is to hold their flawed gaze

and not ever think to deviate away.

It is to firmly grasp their tense hands,

above imperfection of where it stands.

When I Lay Myself To Sleep đź’¤

When I lay myself to sleep don’t cry for me

Tell me to wake up and smile and use the 6 senses that the universe granted me as I lay down to sleep I will awaken with a clear reality my soul is not lost or should I say souls because I had so many in the past



When I lay myself down to sleep I will come to u

With a big hug and tell u how much I missed your smiling face painted with mother natur...

Mom’s Song

Rocking, rocking, all the day

Rocking, rocking, time away


My sweet baby

She’s my darling

My sweet baby

She’s my love


My sweet baby

How I love her

How I love her so


Rocking, rocking…...

Sleep Sweet Baby Sleep

Sleep sweet baby sleep…

Under the blinking stars

And the fireflies


Sleep sweet baby sleep

Under the bright moon

Picking through the window


Sleep sweet baby sleep

With mommy kissing you

The cherubins will guide your sleep...

Lullaby

Keraunos

By: PlayaPhonk


Why don’t you like me?

Blood stains on my white tee.


Your words mean nothing.

Baby, I’m not for touching.


Yuh, so bite me.

Fists balled up.

So fight me.


What’d you say now?

Scared of a girl, how?


Standing five foot two.

Billions, but I chose you.


Twenty in the clip.

Make a body flip.

Won’t hear the lip.


Pocketing, I’m not a card.

Talons out, ...

Sailing Blues

I know you didn’t want to

become one of them…

But life is so messy,

so heavy—

all in your hands.


You’re caught in the present,

in sorrow and distress…

Afraid that the things

that you love

might slip through your hands.


And I know,

you are trying your best.

But they judge you…

in every single way.


Even if the ocean is true,

you are stuck in your sailing blues.

Can you see what I see in your eyes...

Come Home To Me

When the wind blows

And then storms comes


Oh come home to me


When the nights gone

When the sun’s back


Oh Come home to me


The door will open

The floor stained red


Oh come to home me


I will be laying

I will be waiting

I wait there with open arms


I will be wishing

You had come sooner


Oh come, home, to, me....
