Poems #1
These poems range in time from about 1986 till present.....I have tried to preserve them in chronological order.
The Black Rose of
Despair
Hatred
Fear
The Black Rose lives longer than the White
It is stronger in it's poison than the White in it's love
The Swan glides gracefully,
Yet once was graceless
I am the rose, strangled by snakes
Yet my thorn kills my enemy
My soul is the rose,
My past is the snake,
I kill myself
I hate reality
Reality kills
Only in my imagination
Do I live
I have no self esteem
I have no value
I have no love
What is there to love
What is there to value
What is there to esteem
I am worthless
The sword of life spills my blood
The blood nurtures no others
To what purpose serves my death?
None
The blackness is hidden by the grey
I am the blackness
Nothing
Everything
I will arise from my coffin of black
A butterfly reborn....in all colors
Tranformed
Reborn
Bound by love
Alive inside
Moods come
Moods go
Life changes
Life grows
Helpless I'm drowning,
Helpless dispair
Break through the surface
Lungs fill with air
Plant a seed, watch it grow
Tend it well, hurt no more
Punch a hole into my heart
No one loves me at the start
My heart is broken
Shattered on the floor
Why can't I love myself
No hatred, forever rmore
Helpless is a victim
Strong is a surviver
