To Let You Shine

To Let You Shine

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

But A Shadow On The Grave

But A Shadow On The Grave

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

I Am Life

Comment

I Am Life

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

Polar Bear Blue

Comment

Polar Bear Blue

…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

Be The Lion

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

The Dance

The Dance

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

Bookends To Book Covers

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

A Taste For Survival

A Taste For Survival

…But a skeleton skull

And a carrion crow

With its eyes on tomorrow

And a stomach that is full

In The Land Of Sync Think

Comment

In The Land Of Sync Think

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…

Area Grey

Area Grey

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

106 Stairs On A Spiral Staircase

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

Annie Mae Eyes - 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

Someone Is Wrong - 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
