Lonely Girl

The beach is like wet sandpaper,

and the shore bubbles

like spilled champagne.

The sunset's like fire 

in an airless terrain,

and the warm evening breeze

oh so gently 

strokes her pain,

for she is alone on this lonely little planet,

and although she has nature around her,

all the people are gone.

She'll be healthy and strong

'til the solitude slowly kills her.

Purple ashes  in the sky. At dusk they fall  as my dreams turn to dust. They were of silk, but it was lust. Unreal was the zeal where diamonds encrust.  There's no chance to be cut or shined amid the rut  of not fitting like the cut of a “normal” kind of strut. My walk's not with a limp, but it is with a sway. Most people don't think my way, and it's battered me  today. I thought I would know the way, but I'm still climbing higher.

Some people get by and some people try, but they're trapped under the rhythm. It's a dice, and it's a schism  It's a priv...

When The Lights Go Out

  When the lights go out will I be in the air? I don't want it to be soon, 'cause it's not quite yet fair - So I fight with a prayer... But when the lights do go out, will there really be peace? Will there really be stars? Or will I simply cease? Yes, when the lights go out, will I be all fulfilled? Will my business be done? Will you remember me, still? And when the lights go out, I hope that I am ready. I hope I will be won and the ground left is steady  for the ones I'll leave behind and especially my own kind. Hope they'll hum a song of  mine when they see the light  left behind shine. 2021 Enjoy reading Purple Ashes In the Sky on Blogger and consider supporting the book via purchase or donating to my Go Fund Me .
