…And with your help
If I play it smart
I just might reach the stars
And that’s where I was aiming - rAveNswAn
Viewing entries in
Poetry
All I had in mind
The world for you
To highlight you
Take the light held in my hand
And shine on you
But they had different plans
As only a shadow on the grave
The shadow reflects the man
But fear
Although it does what shadows can
The shadow cannot shed a tear
Tis but a shadow on the grave
And that’s all I’ve got to say
Then with my head high in the clouds
I turn and walk away
With just a sunny day
Leadin’ my way - rAveNswAn
I am the pleasure
I am the pain
Bring sunny weather
Hell brings the fire
I bring the rain
Ashes to flood
Cold is the water
Warm is the blood
Full cycle again
I am the pleasure
I am the pain
…In a virgin bank
Of bleach white snow
But it’s the sun
That tints it now
Creates the hue
The rays it sends
Twisting through
Translucent bends
It brings to you
The otherwise and dangerous hue
Of Polar Bear Blue
Polar Bear Blue
o alter my perspective
I first alter the words
From parking meter
To parking meet her
The value much preferred - rAveNswAn
Mr. Calmwater
Mr. Calmwater
Here come
The ragin’ seas
Mr. Calmwater
Mr. Calmwater
Help us
Oh help us please
Love
Love
It may come easy
But how do you make it stay
How can you make love stay…
Just stating you will thrive
Is not the same as thriving
And saying you will survive
Is not the same as surviving
Be the lion
Loving every day we get another chance
Step on life’s floor
Step out
And enjoy
The dance
Happy New Year world!
Have a great 2019 and don’t forget, every day you wake up is an opportunity to dance through life! - rAveNswAn
A man sits behind
The woman he wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
A woman sits behind
The man she wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
…But a skeleton skull
And a carrion crow
With its eyes on tomorrow
And a stomach that is full
Those who can give
Give
Those who can let live
Let live
So those who need water
Drink
And those who need water
Drink
That’s how life rolls
In the land of Sync Think…
There are pyrophytic plants
They need fire to seed
I would argue
Some humans have shared in this need - rAveNswAn
Area grey
Area grey
To deny it is
To lose your way
Lost along the borders
Of black and white
Wrong and right
Day and night
When all you need
To find your way
The path that takes you
Area grey - rAveNswAn
Don’t worry about falling
Down the spiral stairscase
Worry about not trying to climb
Because only from one of its
106 stairs
You’ll find the best you
The best you there is to find - rAveNswAn
Ok, so yeah, I have to admit my anime eyes look kinda angry. It was my first attempt…let’s call it, Take 1.
Annie Mae
Annie Mae’s eyes
Annie Mae’s got
Anime eyes
And as big as they are
Is as big as she cries
But oh when they’re dry
My soul can’t hide - rAveNswAn
Then it stops at the top
So close yet so far
But I swear I can plot
My name in the stars
Trace my name through a constellation
Of stars - rAveNswAn
Over the years
Their paths cross
As frequent as chance allows
To herself, enough, she vows
As if woven into the fabric
Of a love that was never lost
Their story is the thread
Neither holds the needle
Only the eye of the needle can see
Their story unfold through time as fed - rAveNswAn
