white rose

For the snow we never get
for the love never shared
for the friendship i always wanted
If we ever parted i could never
forget the quiet the still the peaceful and serene

tha happy the jubilant the laughter
and the fears

I love you like a tear drop.....
(I never want to shed)(that was crossed out
hmm seems i never finished it

why so hard

Life
why so hard
so rough so mean
why not smooth so calm and serene

something
I do am doing have done?
what can i do
to make this life go away

Hard hit hard blow
duck down go with the flow
rapids and whirlpools
torrents of rain
what does it take
to get rid of the pain

no love no hope no trust
just tears
the emotions i feel
hurt fear and pain
nothing i can do to make it go
away

Life

Life
what?
Life
How to explain:
Its like a mountain
No-one reaches the top
without falling back down
what happens at the top?
you die.
Is my mountain as big as yours?
No but it might be bigger it might be smaller
there's hidden crevices, sheer cliffs
How will I know?
you wont you just crawl out climb up
carry on reach the top
whats at the top?
happiness.
happiness and death?
yes.
How?
happiness is peace. death is peace.
I don't want to die
I'm sorry
what?
your mountain was small
but...
I'm sorry
you've reached the top
How?
You climbed faster than i did
can i fall down?
You will
How?
The mountain has two sides life and death
Ive climbed life?
yes , now you can fall in death with peace
when? now?
now....goodbye
are you still here ?
Have you gone?
why was your mountain so small
you where too young too beautiful
peaceful
my dear child enjoy yourself in death
as it wasn't possible in life
Its over I will join you soon
I'm old and so very tired goodbye sweet child

Haunted House

Creeak
The door shuts.
A mist closes over you
hanging over you
like dark clouds

The atmosphere
imprinted on the house
Fear rakes through you
like a thousand knives
a long suffering moan
like a tired old man
the mist makes faces
Looking...... Pleading

A sorrow
creeps through you
followed by terror
then pain
like ice in your heart
the past is reaching out to you
you're falling into a sorrow
A sorrow for
those past fears, hopelessness
you crumple breathing deeply
then you feel a hopeful glow
It comes over the house
the faces disappear with smiles
A happy sigh follows them
