Tribute To Great Expectations

She walks in her wedding dress

it's faded and torn

Her heart is bitter

Her groom she mourns

Her groom did not die

but instead told a lie

And did not care
that he made her cry

He took her money

and ran away

cruelly on their wedding day

She lives in a manor

it's dank and dark
Her looks are ghostly
Her features stark

There is a wedding cake
one she did not eat
It's filled with mold
no longer sweet

She walks in her wedding dress
it's faded and torn

Her heart is bitter
Her groom she mourns

I Do Not Wish To Love

I do not wish to love

I do not wish to perish

my heart is mine alone

my heart is mine to cherish

How The Sky Came To Be

The sky loved the earth so much

He found her beautiful and lush

and where she was barren in her deserts

he wanted to fill that part of her

But because he could never truly

touch his great love,

and could only love her from afar

he became forever blue

At times he cries in both his grief

and joy of loving her

His tears we call rain

This is how the sky came to be

Made You Feel

Realize it is OK

if ever my words make you sad.

It lets me know I've done my job

as an artist.

I've made you feel...

When You Read

When you read
any fantastical life is possible

You can fall in love with

a vampire with unmatched ethereal beauty,

or perhaps a warrior who has gold eyes
and the bloodline of angels

You can befriend shapeshifters

who turn into wolves

and guard you with all their might

You can use telekinetic power
and have the ability to walk through fire

to help you

save the world from aliens

You can go underground
to discover tunnels you never knew existed
that take you to different realms of the earth

You can cast spells to bring forth
beautiful snowfalls
and have lions walk at your side

You can go to battle
against a formidable faerie queen
and win a war

And you can stay forever young
when you read...
