Blackbird Poetry

For Me: Tell us that Angels are going to be with you Tell us that you're safe and warm- Tell us we don't have to worry- Because you're happy to go home Tell us that wonderful things await you. Tell us all your fears are gone. Tell us all the saints are with you As they're calling you home. Tell us that your pain's subsiding That you feel safe enough to go. Tell us only love awaits you- and the heavenly father so... Keep your mind upon the journey Now it's safe enough to go. Know that better things await you-  The bible tells us so.

If Everything Weren't Wrong It'd Be Right If everything weren't wrong it'd be right. Thinking of your gentle laugh And your eyes sparkling bright I was looking for cover just a warm place to hide You took me in, kept me safe And listened as I cried. You may have needed someone But you didn't show your pain Instead we found a rainbow there With a sprinkling of the rain. You gave me something to believe in And maybe I did that for you- It seems we spoke the same language that few others will ever do, You were a world wonder, You helped to shed new light. I want you to know that I really want you- And that if everything weren't wrong it'd be right.  

It Felt So Right It was so wrong,  but it just felt so right Never in my wildest dreams Did I see it coming to light. Just when I felt strong, I fell to my knees, And you held me tighter From all inequities. My mind couldn't think straight You're were the only thing on my mind- I had gone to get water But you were all I could find. You were just like a drug You were all I could find- Can I get help for this headache.  I'm losing my mind! Just when I found you, You disappeared in the night, You left me addicted, In the dark without light. How could you do this? I thought you loved me But you walked away So unexpectedly. It was so wrong,  but it just felt so right Never in my wildest dreams Did I see it coming to light Just when I felt strong, I fell to my knees, And you held me tighter From all inequities.

(Not necessarily my beliefs anymore, but here it is....) Church How dare you- Play with hidden souls The church collects your thoughts Making them narrower than before. You call yourself a servant? Whom do you serve? No money to the poor- But only to the church. Where all is made "complete". Where words once spoken Remove the heart That pumped so sparingly there before.

Chimes- Dong, Cliang' Keep my memories faint Talk of hopes and dreams And tell me the meaning Of this tragic world. Your insides are hollow Yet your sound is such- a beautiful noise That plays upon the melody of my soul. Climp ' Talk-  I'm listening.

All That Glitters All that sparkles isn't gold. Sometimes it's a smile on your face, or just a hand to hold. Sometimes all that glitters Isn't diamonds and pearls, It isn't just a handsome man, it isn't just a pretty girl. At times there's a lesson in helplessness. When life's at it lowest low, When people finally come forward- With love and emotions show. Sometimes it's a good intention To make someone feel they're home. To make them feel loved, or that they are not alone. Sometimes it's a compliment made When all else is hidden without mark, Sometimes it's walking someone home So they won't be alone in the dark. Sometimes it's a whisper out of desperation that things will be alright after love and catastrophe Love shows itself so bright. At times it's love that glitters And it isn't always gold- And when you're lucky there's a hand to hold.

Lover's Bond Let us breathe The night-warming air, And look at the world Through each other's eyes. At night we connect, Entangled in the passion of living. Warm and caressing- We hold two different worlds joined as one- Desire slips from our bodies And for the moment Breath and worlds unite.
