You would look at me with kind, soft eyes; the wrinkles on your face did not represent your age but merely show all your wisdom. As the cold wind blows past my face I hold tight to your arm, just to reassure myself you were still there. I close my eyes as your voice whispers just above the wind and carries throughout the meadow. Your voice sweeter than angels, quieter than a soaring bird; you would speak of one star casting its light upon the town like the moon would reflect off the lake down beside us, you would tell me stories of moons and planets . I can hear your heart beating like a lonely drum, which once use to beat in sync with hers. I open my eyes as you pause I look up at your face and see the reflection of the water in your tears slowly rolling down and hitting the ground. I hug him tight as my eyes start to shed at the thought of seeing granddad in such sorrow. He pulls back my hair and ties it with a long crimson ribbon, wipes away my tears and kisses my forehead. I would curl myself up into a ball and beg to hear another story, he would look down and smile at me and say “Maybe tomorrow it’s time to get you insideâ€. As we would walk back to the house he would hold my hand and I would have my stuffed toy in the next. It was a toy dog my granddad had given to me when I was merely a baby, its eyes still had its sparkle, its fur was all worn and tattered from the love that was been bestowed upon it. |
I lay down to sleep at night
i hold my breath and hold it tight...
Her soul-less body cries icy tears
as she sits on her own...
Death is not to be laughed at,
Nor cried at...
You're never alone, I'm always near,
When your troubled, down or blue...
As you sit in silence,
Wondering why...
Black is a kiss the touch of the serpents soul. |
What doesnt kill you only makes you stronger! |
