Here I have something for you
Sorry I didn't have time to wrap it
Something special
Something only I could give you

It is fragile so you know
So be tender
So be kind
It cannot be replaced for any amount of money

It is a little messy
A little squishy
But remember
To treasure it always

What is it you ask
Well it is something so very dear to me
I want to give you my heart
My heart and no one elses

Please don't break it
Or stomp on it
Because if did it would stop beating
And I would die

So be gentle
So be kind
And remember most of all
To treasure it always

I know you are down
Sad and frustrated
A total grump
On this fine day

Come with me
For a walk in the clouds
My wild imagination
Will lift you up higher

Stop frowning my love
Why not smile
What will it hurt
To put a smile on your face

I love you
And I know you love me too
So let me wrap my love around you
And lift us up higher

Come take a walk with me
In my wild imagination
It can take us anywhere
If you but trust me

Put a smile on that face
Take my hand
While our love
Lifts us higher

A poem wot I writ ta very glad

On a mist shrouded ocean, the top of a mast
glides silently through from out of the past
no creak from the timbers no foot on the deck
no hand to steer her, yet she is not wrecked
then as she moves slowly and her bows come abreast
the name on the side reads
The Mary Celeste.

Melissa, my friend
It has been forever
Since I have seen your smiling face
Last time we spoke
We talked of how I should come to visit
Maybe next year I said
Next year would be better
Now next year will never come
Your time on Earth is over
The Goddess has called you home
To be by her side
I was blessed to have known you
Blessed even more
For having you as a friend
I am sorry I missed my chance
Chance to see you
Chance to be a good friend
Sad to say but I have learned
Next year will never happen
Lets try for today
You have touched my life
You have touched so many lives
We are all grateful
Now I will take my lessoned learned
No more living for next year
Start living for today
Tomorrow is not a guarantee
So lets start living for today
Goodbye my friend
Give the Mother my love
She will hold you close forever more

I hear you Mother
Thunder above
Lightening running across the sky
I know you are angry Mother
Forgive us Mother
For our arrogance
Forgive us Mother
For our presumption
That we dare to think we know more than you
I beg of thee Mother
Call back your warriors
Tornado, Hurricane,
Volcano, Earth Quake,
Blizzard, Drought,
And Extinction
Call back your storm Mother
For we tremble before your righteous power
As only the Mother can have
Bless us Mother
With love and understanding
Bless us Mother
To open our third eye
To truly see the damage we have done
I hear you Mother
Thunder above
As below
Forgive us Mother
Give us another chance
To show we can cherish the gifts you have given us
I plead mercy
For all human kind
Give us a chance
To put down our ego
And kneel before you
I beseech you Mother
Do not give up on us
I hear you Mother
Thunder above
So shall it be below
To spread your word
I vow
To show others of the joy of working
Together with all mankind and nature
Guide me Mother
Teach me wisdom
Teach me true compassion
So I might better fulfill my vow
I ask for a sign
I ask for a teacher
From your lips
To my pen
Thank you Mother
Blessed be

It sits
Deep down inside of me
Like a lump of mud
Hardened with time

And if I cry
It will just turn
To gooey mud again
Still sitting deep down inside

Depression
Sucks my friend
Nothing you can do
Make me believe otherwise

Currently my bed
Is my best hiding spot
Where no one tells me
Fake it til you make

If you say that
I might rip your face off
I don't care if you understand
Just leave me be

Why do you ask why?
I don't know
It is my chemical make up
Or I just do it to annoy you

Of course everything is about you
You must have done something
Or maybe not done something
For me to get all depressed like this

So take this depression
And stuff it
Where the sun doesn't shine
Because obviously you are all powerful like that

You see me
With all my ink
Both right arm
And left arm

You know there is more
Beneath all these clothes
Ink up and ink down
Ink side to side as well

But instead of asking
For the story the ink tells
You turn your head
Sure you know me already

With just a glance
I have stood in front
Of judge and jury
And I have been found wanting

Though I never spoke a word
For good or for ill
And now you will never know
If we could have been friends or not

You will never know
The purple kitty is a memory
Of my sister and I
Together right before our mothers passing

You will never know
The Jasmine flower
Is for the woman
Who helped me beyond measure

You are so sure
You know all
Just from a look
And of course you cannot be wrong

But since you didn't ask
You will never know
The story of my life
That all this ink tells
