There used to be a life within my soul; A beautiful spirit she was- Always being there for me when I fall, Making me the happy girl all I ever was. She sang me many a pretty song And read me many a soothing thought, In this enchanted journey, clinging along Whatever she was, she was all I ever sought. Then one day came the storm, With it's ferocious waters and deadly winds Scaring me with it's most dangerous form Never told me why, never gave me a hint. Wrecked my body, and my heart And the one within my soul. Pierced through me like a dart Created in my soul a hole. She was crippled, maimed and crumbled No more songs her broken voice could sing, And no more sweet story telling With her weakness, my whole world stumbled. She was slowly fading away, Taking me along with her. Now my whole body miserable, it lay My goddess; my fairy; lost, burning ether At last, without a struggle, silenced. There lay, my spirit, lifeless. The only remaining was her left behind fragrance. Now with her gone, I was hopeless. My only guide to my dreams, And the only one to my reality. Though I was alive, and so was my heart, Yet something was dead inside, maybe my soul?
The Sparrow
I saw him in the morning;I was doing my crosswords then.Folded the newspaper, and I set out to watch. He had made his palace inside the turtle ivy kingdom .Almost finished becoming a home;Waiting for the last straw and peck.
