Between these four walls
A secret ocean
Contains a rage tide
For the innocent ones
At times caressing
And soothing
A mellow ebb and flow
Then from deep within
A fire starts
And pressure released
Explodes to crash
Loud resounding angry
Hurtful energy
Smash
There is nowhere to go
Trapped at sea
Suffering
Defeated
Helpless
Waiting for the sea
To calm down
Pray for the rage tide to pass
Soon
Fearful for the next
expected-unexpected wave
Of
Happy
Hurt
Fear
Happy
Hurt
Fear
Happy…
I Watched You Grow
I watched you grow
so fast
so fast
And wondered
how I could stop time
Because I love you
too much
too much
To let you blossom
bigger than my arms
But you are
my sun
my sun
In the darkest of days
And you make me happy
all the seconds of every day.

Bookworm
My life is a book
A chapter for each significant time
The cover is a tad bit worn
But my story’s worth more than a dime
I devour every page
And I savour every line
I go through chapters slowly
Knowing it’s all mine
Sometimes I lose a page or two
I can’t remember the past
And I try not to skip ahead
To try and make my book last
There is an end, I know
Getting closer by the minute
So I love every chapter
While I’m still livin’ in it!
