Blackbird Poetry

I feel our souls connect In a strange unusual way When my heart feels your pain And I long to stay... When we look at each other and we know there's a bigger reason we met-  But now we have to go.... And we haven't even said goodbye yet. And this love seems so unfinished And I long to hold you near And I hate you so for trying Because I have feelings so true now I fear.

Everyone's got to have their rock She was that someone for me She loved to spend her time sitting Shootin the breeze And always listening She would tell us that we were her girls She always felt that way She would make the time No matter what And chuckle as she'd say: You were your mom's, And you were my girls too- I've always felt that way! I've always  felt that way. She lost her mom age eighteen Her dad died at twenty eight- She lived a life of real hard times But it never controlled her fate! She would make the sweetest things In her special kitchen there Wanting to talk and share the small stuff With always such love and care And when times would get to be trying As they oftentimes could be She would raise her eyebrows and laugh Always looking for the good and the funny! And oh, I loved her so This sweet sweet grandmother of mine And I will always cherish time spent with her The days were warm n sunny and fine. She wo...

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.
