Half Empty

Half empty girl running scared
Seeks redemption past unknown
Tremble with earnest untried
Undiscovered, realized

Faint of heart a broken soul
Waters cold are drowning her
Carried greed on these false wings
All she asks emptiness brings

Wishes for dollars she plies
An innocence worn unscathed
Lost is her beauty inside
Girl unspoken, girl denied

Demand a marker for truth
Spilling blood for your worthy
Create distance unexplored
Girl is nothing but a whore

Seeking redemption, I am
I am better than most men
Still your pardon I demand
Girl lost in life’s Neverland

Steal me and plunder
Create your thunder
Eruption of your
Pollution. Keep it
Simple and give me
All I am asking

Dear girl you are a lost cause
Gentle heart you failed to ignore
Life warnings that have expired
All you are asking denied

Gone. Undone. Broken
I am but a token
Mother has left me
Father is unknown
I will never be free

Pray for me

Shorts

3 shorts - my creative juices are waning - "practice makes perfect"

You never saw me
Even though I was there
I was a distraction
Unexpected affair
Maybe you loved me
Possibly you cared
Always invisible
Pretending and wishing
Hopeful that maybe
Someday you would see
It was always me

***

Moonbeams in a bottle
Taken from the night
Rainbows of color
When I turn off my light
My own little heaven
My own piece of sky
Kept so lovingly
Beside me tonight

***
Fallen Angel
Banned from His grace
Your wings are clipped
You must leave this place
Empty of remorse
Filled with this rage
Broken Angel
Fear the Devil
Forever disgraced

Family Aint

Family Ain't
Still it is
A shoulder
A hug
A voice
Listen please
Let's rejoice
Missing you
Aunt Rose tonight
A small girl
Mama's child
Growing up
Life exiled
Still I might
Nights with you
Ever wish
Feeling blue
Working hard
Precious girl
Mistakes made
And games played
Empty yet?
Listen up
Feeling sad
Young girl
New world
Lots to do
Missing Aunt
Tantamount
Feeling blue
Lost in you
Kiss me now
No one knows
What to do
Roses placed
On your grave
Always I
Missing you

***

Of Sages and Kings

Of sages and king
With faith I do bring
Fast waters, still like
Spill forth liquid hope
Addiction to coke
Falsified denied
Extreme let me in
There is no counting
A Bishop she plays
And make no mistake
King cowers in place
Precious forever
Lost to this tower
Girl you need to be
What I need you see
A Queen without me
If I let you down
Let tumble my crown
Pretence is my frown
Yet still I always
Firmly want only
For you to just be
And see me for me
A girl on her knees
Please pray for my sins
A dollar offered
Lowly my coffers
A whore no matter
Not what I'm after
This girl is undone
Unworthy the one
Seek the setting Sun
Bitch
Please
With such
Ease
Tease
And let exhausted
Be unexamined
Me bequeathed
See beneath
Who I could not be
My eternity
