Oh Little Bonnet stubborn is your middle name
Only blooming in summer and spring
Well I think your insane
What about winter and fall
Do you care for them at all?
You know you would look lovely shining in winters monotone light
Or swaying with falls colorful leaves
Oh little bonnet stubborn is your middle name

Ah look at you now your so big and blue!
As blue as the sea and sky
Beautiful
But you only stay for a short time
Oh little bonnet stubborn is your middle name

I watch WHOOSH as you dance with the wind
Even when it rains cats and dogs
You never stop
Your wonderful world washes and wipes away my tears
Joy erupts from misery
You might be stubborn always having your ways
But you are my everything
That little tiny soul that brought my life meaning
Thank you little bonnet

Day by Day
The change of time.
Hitting the hay,
flopping like fish,
surrounded by pillows.
Until the flop stopped,
can’t feel anything.
Than,
a blink of an eye,
the morning came,
eyes dried to sand
heavy as a truck.
And you wonder,
what happen last night.

Words were always a roof
To shelter me when I had felt no joy
Don’t you understand what words are for me?
Haven’t you ever wanted a place where you felt safe?
Can you even see a roof through all of these words at all?
These aren’t
just words
For me there
the only place
where I can
live unharmed

The world is a messy place, no matter where you go or who you see there is always negativity. People always ask me am I lonely, but I just simply say “lonely is for people who are shut out by the world , but I shut out the world so therefore I am never lonely”.

Transcending the binds of god’s eyes

The mind of man freed by the void

Frozen gales consuming all

Illusions created by forcefit lies

Satiated by suffering nothing is faithful

Winters eye is freeing the soul

Hallowed ice shatters all hope

Frozen to the core men will now weep

God’s cold wrath harvesting the liars

Wiping away their tears and sins

Meek men embrace their dissonance

Bathing in blood wrought by their ignorance

A world consumed by permafrost

Identity erased by winters gaze

A book is a dream that
takes you away,
It brings you to a world,
a very special place,
A dream so good that you
can’t describe,
A book is a dream,
a book is alive.

Wind blows, trees sway and rustle then the sun disappears.
The rain starts light and soft at first then hard
Before I know it,
Iit starts pouring.
I walk home splashing in puddles until thunder starts booming
And following after the thunder lightning flashes
I run
Listening to my feet hit the wet grass.
Finally I’m home at last,
But drenched head to foot.

As I sit outside on a Fall afternoon I listen and gaze right up at the moon.
Trees move and sway in the wind and the sound of birds chirping calms me.

Leaves rustling, birds flying south for Winter I sit and wonder what life would be like with no sounds.
Boring and the same and we would want something not as plain.

Soft as a bunny
Light as a feather

Wind blows slow but it blows fast
Spreadings its limbs for all share

Planted deep growing high

Waiting for the wind to come again

Slow and steady
Win the race,
Well
That’s not true!
If I ran slow and steady,
I might look like you!
I like to run
fast
as the pavement touches
my feet.
When the racing gun

BOOMS!
I run to the sound
of the beat.
My shoes squeak
as I run
my shoes barely touch
the ground.
So with slow and steady
your gonna be last,
and that’s why I run
fast!
