Friends

Hand in hand we walk to the end

Back to where it all began

Side by side we join the fight

Hold on tight till dawn comes bright

A life to live

And time to spend

A dream to achieve

And share with a friend

A new beginning

A means to an end

A bridge over waters

A rift to mend.

Ball

Falling curls and

Wintry gloss

Slippers on and

Fingers crossed

Skirt of satin

Sash of silk
Leaves in pattern
Fountain filled

Bed of roses

Fine design

Sunlight dozes

Moonlight shines

Dance with spirit
Smile with care
Live the life
But if you dare

Pretend

I pretend I will start anew today
I pretend I am more than I am
Dreaming of Fae
Come take me away
In wake of dying intent


I pretend I believe in faerie tales
I pretend I believe in gods
World within worlds
Within worlds within worlds
In seas of forgotten thoughts


I pretend my guardians are not perfect
I pretend my life is misery
Living a story
Time to wake up
Waiting for someone to see


I pretend I am strange but unique
I pretend I am cool and aloof
Mimic them
In my imagination
Following the dream


I pretend what I pretend will come true
I pretend it's my life I am shaping
My faerie tale
Spinning to life
I guess I'm too good at pretending

Darkness

Tell me what
is lurking
in the darkness
I don't know
what's going on


I imagine
spiders crawling
in the darkness
That's not all
that's going on


I fancy seeing
tiny people
in the darkness
What is it
that's going on?


I think I'm
going insane
in the darkness
Caused by what
is going on


I don't know
what's there
in the darkness
There must be some
thing going on


I close
my eyes
in the darkness
Because I saw
what's going on

Plants

Furls of dewy leaves at dawn
Light of stars rebound
By the gaping pitcher's yawn
As god of love rewound

Reaching past the silt and rocks

To find the spirits' ley

A well of life on which it knocks

To which entrance gave

Velvet of a wintry petal
A beacon in the night
Bells of blue adorn the lasses
Over nectar gifts they fight

A vine affectionately curls
As ivy creeps away
A glowing rune, a flash of light
For a moment it is day
