Poem: I Miss When

Mummy I miss the days when my only cares were who stole my dolly,

And feeling okay took just your hugs and a lolly

Daddy I miss the days when you would lift me where I couldn't reach,

How to and why are things you can't teach.

Baby I miss the days when our road of bliss was bump free,

When my heart was unlocked because you had the key.

Baby I miss the days when no other woman was reflected in your eyes,

Dinner and movies or nights under skies

Friend I miss the days when our tie of friendship could never be severed,

When laughs and smiles alone kept us tethered.

Over miles of ocean and continents of land,

From todler to senile our friendship would stand.

Mummy you helped me hold on like you helped me to stand,

You left me with the strength of dry eyes and 'I can'

Daddy I can reach on my own now, my ladder is raised to the skies,

Baby our time gave me faith in 'true love never dies'

Friend you showed me theres always someone to dry my eyes,

Someone to bring me through malice and lies.

Poem: Black

Black is the doomed, damned and depraved,
The lost hope of an unspoken plea,
Black is the touch of a misguided hand,
the mirth of a manic man's glee

Black is night's blanket,
woven on the loom of the sky,
Black is the desperate, the sneak, lie and spy.

Black is the window to the souls of the lost,
the pit of the fallen true,
for Lady Deception and Horrid Misfortune Black is the hardest glue

Black stirs in the most painful of hours,
Strikes pure hearts that are burdened by grief,
Black prowls for the bitter, cheated and proud,
flashing cold Vengeance's teeth.

Black is the picture of mystery,
The heart of the darkest traitor,
Black is the carrass of temptation and elegance,
The deepest hidden league of sea
