Red, pink, gold or blue
I know not what to do
I just think of you
And your roses too

They comfort me when I'm alone
A wonderful colorful home.
A hope for happiness never known
Till I called you my own

I had wandered through the night
Never daring to fight
But your roses filled with light
Scare away my fright
just a simple little rhyming poem. written for my ex for valentines

The wind whispers
To the soft supple trees
Speaking of the beauty
When the robin sings

The wind whispers
To the smooth rippling stream
Speaking of the mystery
When nature sweetly sings

Nature whispers
And it turns to radiant song
In this, a lost soul
Finds where it belongs

Beautiful yet deadly
Though you would never know
You're high above reality
The colors seem to glow

The beauty of the rose
Disguises the harming thorns
Don't tempt the fatal cost
For a moment away from scorn

Your life will fade away
No future left for you
You followed a crooked path
Now only death is in veiw

No light to return to
No breath will pass your lips
You are standing above nothing
To die, you only have to slip
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
For some reason
All of my words
Have disappeared
All of my life
Has gone up in smoke
Just when I need it most
For some reason
My voice has faded
To linger somewhere
In a memory
Faded to nothing
When I need just something

The chips are down
There's no turning back
We take what we are given
Unsure how to act
A bible in one hand
Whiskey in the other
We follow our hearts
No worse than down under
Our life is too short
To worry bout the next
Your fate is your own
Your life no mortal test
In innocent assurance
You'll do the right thing
And finally walk down
That deserted, waiting street

Roses fallen
Petals strewn
Destruction yet beauty
Red stark
Against the white tile
Like blood
Fallen from my heart
Falen from my wrist
Fallen from my mind
Like tears
Fallen from my eyes
Fallen from my pain

A body fallen
Limbs strewn
Destruction yet beauty
Red stark against the snow
                    Fallin’

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Hidden in the crowd
Silenced by the sound
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even when I scream so loud
I can't be found

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me somehow?
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even when I stand proud
I can't be found

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Can you see my tears?
Can you hear my fears?
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even when they look around
I can't be found

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Hidden by the night.
Silenced by my fright.
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even in the light
I won't be found
