Sweet Star


Star,

sweet star,

upon your head,

you're gone now

oh so soon.

You were dead.


How did I know?

Why did I dread

that little star

would soon be far?


You used to escape,

but came when I called your name.

Now you wear your little cape

as you fly of late.


It isn't fair.

How could fate dare

to hurt so bad,

to be so mad?


It was cursed

to be the worst.

I wish 

I could stop it.

I had you in my pocket

just yesterday

in this purse


which is my heart,

and now we're far apart,

and you're so far away.

I couldn't even say goodbye.

I wanted you to fly away,

and I would not have you pay

to have it my way.

ao all I could do was pray.

It was the least I could do

'cause I feel I failed you,

and at 8 o’clock,

something brushed against my sweater.

It wasn't just the weather.

I think it was you.

I feel you're happy now,

and I hope that is true...

Purple Ashes In The Sky

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. It is odd, and it is dire. I was born  to be stuck this way. Without typical tools, without typical rules, I'm in my own school of life and wearing these painful shoes, somehow paying the dues  while my heart wears a bruise. And I wheeze  from these ashes. They look purple to me as they fall from the mauve sky  where my dreams flew up  to die because those dreams were just  a lie. 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...

Peace Is Brave

  Peace is defiant. Yes, peace is brave amid the polarized fighting, to ride on the waves, to reach out and say, there's a middle, there's a grey, and it's okay. Yes, it's okay. 2022 Enjoy reading Purple Ashes In the Sky on Blogger and consider supporting the book via purchase or donating to my Go Fund Me .

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 .
