Lyrist

Throwing sparks
Camp fire sizzled
Burning skylight
Darkness lit
Flames meet stars
Earth to sky
Together glow
~A.R.

Head tucked in
Screams silent
To self
Balled body
No comfort
Found
Eyes clouded
Tear burnt
No sobs
Silently curled
Away in mind
She goes
~A.R.*

With all of your senses
From toes to her crown
Learn her with all of you
Experience depth in this woman
She opened herself reluctantly
Trace her paths to tender heart
Be harsh and she snaps off
Gone away while you take
Shattered inside and gone
~A.R.*

Human Being
Just Being
Answers
Out there
Inside
Some sought
Some to hide
Living breathing
Breathe calmness
Human Being
Just Live
~A.R.*

The night time poet
Quill of ink
Lashing words
Toward ghosts
Who listen eager
For delightful tales
Of Her and Them
Or I perhaps
~A.R.*

She has a smile
Wears it fine
Behind it pain
Tired and torn
A soul seeking
Something more
Strong she wars
Battles unseen
Wearing her crown
A little askew
~A.R.*

Music playing in her head
Of the living and the dead
Blanking out the world around
Not a movement nor a sound
Stuck inside her wounds
For that short lived time
It played again inside
That movie in her mind
~A.R.*

The world spins
I whirl along
This life so hard
Yet smile I will
Despite the harshness
Of others
~A.R.*

In the heart
Buried away
Locked love
For now
Damaged
In ways
I am
Not sure
My time
My life
A whirl
Perhaps
What comes
Will be
A key
~A.R*
