Poetry
The stage is my home
familiar now.
So foreign then.
I live there now
I was afraid then.
What if they don't like me?
What if they don't care?
Why do they really matter?
None of this is fair
I'll say it again
I am afraid
I fear the people
I pretend not to care
The manager's calling
It's time to appear
My fears put aside
When I'm on stage they dissappear.
My heart is a stage
The players are
here,
My friends and enemies gather near.

Which are which?
Who is who?
How do I see?
How can this be?
Not quite alone,
Never quite alone,
Never together.

The players leave,
The stage is still.
The silence deep,

Will they come back?
He stayed for a while,
He became my friend,
My life, My confidant.
We laughed,
Shared secrets,
But then had to go.

I know now he had to,
But I still miss him so.
It's been so long
I thought it dead.
It be better that way
Once more dead.
I depend on it now,
I can't let it be dead.
Reflections on the night

How oftern is it that I lie in th dark.
and think thoughts
of love,
of life,
of hate,
of sorrow.

There is never silence
I'm never truly alnoe.
How I wish that I was.

Then they leave,
Those silly people.
Who come to my mind
to laugh,
and cry,
to sing,
and love.

Only when they leave
Do I realize
i need them,
their talk,
their silly noise.
Without it
I am truly alone.
Light and tranquil
Dark and stormy.
kind
bountiful
vicious
hateful

All of these things
and so many more.

it is a hider of the secrets,
the riches,
the dreams.

It can calm,
or it can excite.

It is the ocean,
and how i wish to be near,
to hear the waves,
to see the birds,
to feel the wind.

It is a goddess.
It is a deamon.
It is all that it needs.

It facinates and
at times it frightens
it is life for many beings.
