The Rain

Oh how it poured that night long ago.
How the rain trickled slowly down my hair.
You tried so hard to keep the unbrella above me,
But you knew too well I love the rain.
Oh how the sky opened up before us.
How beautifully the streets formed rivers.
In all its wonder and all its beauty,
There was nothing more beautiful than you.
You kept me warm with just a smile.
Covered in rain I felt dry in your arms.
No one else out there, just you and me,
Together we walked in the rain.

The Stories We Weave

What a beautiful sight those days were.
Shorts with skirts we sat beneath the sky.
The only thing we saw was the sun.
How brightly it shone down on us.

At night we curled up together.
Under white sheets we looked to the sky.
The only thing we saw was the moon.
How lovely its beams lit through us.

You saw me dance around the trees
You loved me when I danced.
You joined with me in my splender.
Oh how silly we were together.

Do you remember those songs we sang?
While the world passed us by.
We watched it pass with big bright eyes.
Just two stupid kids in a world full of fools.

Time grew short while friendships failed.
We were so dumb but shared so much.
What was it that you used to say?
Always there just like a stone.

These strange lives we lived with stranger stories.
The pain and laughter we all weaved.
How much longer will we endure?
Til life and death joins together as one.

Lost Poem

Locked hair run smooth in pearls of grey.
Sunlight brightens the darkness fade.
Truth be told in lies so sweet.
Memories shared through empty seats.
Droning through just one more day.
Living passes this constant cliché.
Extremities lie where internalities hold.
Lessons taught from times too old.

What A Choice

Choice is a choice is a choice they say.
You can't take that away, no no you can't take it away.
A woman isn't a woman isn't a woman today
Without a choice, that choice, what choice I pray?
To live, to die, to take, to break.
What you carry inside, you can't hide, you suffer the pain.
This choice, one choice, what choice in vain.
Empowering, liberating, your freedom, insane.
You can't fight the stains, not the deep stains
Already ingrained. The memories again and again.
A life for a life, precious balance in your hands.
They dismiss it, they confuse it, they shout across the land,
"Oppression oppression. They do not understand.
Your body, only your body, all at your command."
My body, only my body? Now I don't understand.
If no other, why bother, why worry, why lost?
If only you, no other, would it be worth the cost?

A Gamer's Ballad

I've walked miles on Halo Rings.
Spent nights in the Johto region.
I've fought kings and lost battles
With my royal legions.

I've crossed paths with blue ghost
Forded rivers with my cattle.
I've lived through my death
A thousand times a battle.

With Cain I've identified
And Oak I have learned much.
I've weathered many armies
Through cold that freeze on touch.

I've been transformed to demons
I've been disguised among the saints.
I've broken to many pieces
And awaken when they faint.

I've sang in front of hundreds
And danced alone at night.
Through tunnels and through the clouds
I don't give up the fight.

I've shot and killed many.
My brothers, I'm with thee.
Beautiful music I have made
In my final fantasy.

The cake it was a lie.
Alas, I'm not a pro.
I've reached the end so many times
And still many more to go.

Bitter Taste

I saw you as you wanted me to.
Wrapped up in the sound of your voice.
Your lies felt sweet in its deception.
Too young I was to understand.

A child I was, my innocence threw me
Into your arms. So naive a girl.
Four years of age was all that separated
But your knowledge I did not posses.

You touched me, caressed me, I was but shaken
Pulling back I didn't know what was wrong.
You held me, told me, "Don't be frightened,
This is what you're meant to do."

I wonder some nights if you still remember.
I sit in silence at the thought of your hand.
Using me, abusing me, continuing. I'm shaken.
The taste of your lips burned into my mind.

A child. A child. I was only a child.
I'm screaming aloud. And so were you.
Did you know what you were hurting, doing
To me, my body, my life, my soul?

Your memory, you haunt me. I can't forgive you,
You opened up something I can never turn back.
I hope one day you will come back and tell me
That you wished to undo what you did that day.

Promises

By now we should have written a song
And sang it in the rain.
By now we should have crossed the world,
And twice around again.

By now we should have made new plans
To finish our last dance.
By now we should have caught a wave
To gamble our last chance.

By now we should have walked the beach
A million steps we'd take.
By now we should have fed the world
A billion things we'd bake.

By now you promised me we'd see
The sun, the stars and moon.
By now we could have sailed across
The sky in one balloon.

And yet you still tell me this day
More things we should have done.
Of all you've promised me thus far
Fulfilled you have not one.
