LETTER FROM YESTERDAY



What has happen to the person
      who wrought me this friendly letter
            a few years before
                  our friendship past away
Did I change
      or did she change
            I wish I could know
So much thought
      went into this letter
            I still read it from time to time
                  every time finding something fresh and new
What has happen to you
      since friendship died
            I still visit the grave site
                  I miss you
Now I must forget you

100 BOOKS



From cover to cover
Word after word
Is there more
Than what these pages hold

100 books
Are there more words?
More to learn

100 books
There isn't anything to learn
When there isn't any pain
In the books

Dose the title tell it all
Is that all it contains
A title to catch the eye
Within it is a lie

100 books
Remember what you read
Remember what the writer has said

100 book
No pictures just words

Words never heard

BROKEN MIRROR



Broken mirror of pain
So many peace's
But still all the same

Each cutting into emotion
Bleeding tears making confusion
Crying on the out side
Isn't any louder than on the inside?

Happiness doesn't make love
But were doses it comes from
If you're the lonely one

Broken mirror of pain
So many peace's
Fear of them cutting into my soul
Just want some one to hold

So the mirror just broke
