do i see the person out there
the wreckage of their lives?
when someone is destroyed by carnage
no light to help them thrive?
suffering alone is a familiar way to go
staggering just to stand up
but do i really know?

solace
the lightening flashes
the thunder rolls
clouds burst open to birth their souls
rain pelting down from above
clinging to my skin as it streams down
bringing with it solace
donna immel
let go
desperate to be found
reaching in the dark
feel it jab my finger
no reeling back for me
bleeding now flows on
refuse to see the pain
holding on to this
so blind am i–i know
just let go and live
please
donna marie
so sweet
say you’ll be there for me
say you won’t let go
say you’ll hold me through the night
as i toss to and fro
tell me when it’s night
you’ll hold me till it’s morn
tell me when it’s dark
you’ll keep me through the storm
i don’t know how you do it
love so strong and sweet
you’re my forever love
ever since we did meet
(i love you scott lee)
donna marie
be near
i don’t know where you are
i wish i felt you near
i thought i knew your name
i want to love you pure
i’m afraid i can’t find you
donna marie
misery
i am not stupid, this i surely know
why do i not know?
why can i not find the answer?
the darkness that envelopes me is suffocating
i am happy….. i am happy
even as the heaviness presses me down
ohhhhhhhh- misery- misery far, misery near
leave, leave me be- i want no part of thee.

hue
in the corner of my mind, where the room is nice and new
i almost feel like falling, i see me turning blue
does it show upon my face? this alarmingly blue hue
donna marie
fly away
i don’t know who you are, i thought you were my friend
you don’t do that to someone, those rules aren’t made to bend
it hurts like hell you know, that dagger in my heart
you placed it with such care, as if a form of art.
please just leave me be, i won’t bother you
i’ll let you go and fly away, way beyond the blue
no noise
in between the folds where the wind is very low
I hear the faintest sound, it whispers on the go
I try to ascertain what the message is for me
but i’m all scrambled up and cannot hear the plea
when my mind is very dark, i can feel the words so near
it’s then it opens up, bringing nothing but a tear
I want to gather them up and put them on a plane
so they will leave my head, before i go insane

eli’s poem
There was an old man named Shane
Who was born in the city of Spain
One day he went for a stroll
and was attacked by a very large troll
Said the troll to the Shane, “You will feel no pain,
if I may, I might take just one bite of your arm;
for soon I will eat your hands and feet, but for now I will take your arm.”
Then said the old man in fear, but it still was loud and clear.
“Do no harm to my arm for I use it in every way!”
“If you may, you might just save your bite for another day.”
“Why?” asked the troll in tears. “May I eat your legs?” he said swiping his tears.
“If you may, you might just save your bite for bacon and eggs instead of human legs.”
The old man was kind and changed his mind.
So the troll behaved good like all the trolls should.
So now the troll properly dined.
