REBORN
She sits alone in a dark cold room
Pondering ever so lightly
Wondering ever so quietly
Wishing for a better day
A gentle breeze wafts into the room
It is cool and reminds her of her heart
Dulled by the pain of loss
Numbed by the reality of loneliness
Shattered by the hammer of betrayal

Yearning for a change, she sits
And in the midst of the disparity
Deep in her misery and sorrow
She begins to dance
A strange yet soothing dance
Causing her spirit to soar with each step
Breathing new life into the corners of her once dead soul
At last the light returns
Like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon
SHE IS REBORN!!!!!!!

UNTITLED.........
Tears roll down her cheeks
Mixing with the dirt that covers her face
She stares nostalgically into the horizon
A small smile flashes across her face
Just as suddenly as it came it disappears
The teardrops and a blank expression replace it
She holds a razor in one hand
As she makes a fist with the other
Her veins are bulging as blood pulsates through them
Putting the razor against them she pauses
Relishing the moment, this the in-between time
Life at one end death at the other
The coldness of the blade soothes her
She flinches………
Blood slowly trickles out
Ever so slowly growing from a tiny drop
To a now gushing river
Staining her clothes and falling to the soil
It is growing dimmer, she can feel life ebbing away from her
Closing her eyes she sighs and falls asleep never to awaken
Morning comes and dawn finds a pale girl, asleep under a rose bush
The soil is soaked with blood and the roses have refused to bloom
They are mourning, weeping for the loss of their friend who is no more.

BEAUTIFUL STRANGER
Caught a glimpse of her
Standing alone at the bus stop
My bus had just stopped there
I silently prayed she would enter

God heard my prayer
Fingers crossed hoping she would sit next to me
Wasn’t so lucky but lady luck did offer me a boon
She sat across from me

As she entered our eyes locked for a millisecond
Which to me was a lifetime
I cast a couple of gazes at her
Alas she never looked up
Her head buried in a book
Both of us lost in our own worlds

The final stage she arose our eyes meet again
She smiled and just as mysteriously as she entered my life she left
Oh beautiful stranger I pray fate grants us a chance to meet once again
