Two poems I wrote at about age 12. Enjoy!
Distance
Through space, time, scars and plight,
Through forest and darkness, I feel you.
A meter, a mile, a league, awhile,
Through darkness of night, I feel you,
Gravel roadways and travels, villas, and chapels,
Through hamlet and ramble, I feel you.
Memories, problems, commotions, and notions,
Through dusk, till dawn, I feel you.
A letter, a note, epistle, and tote,
Through twilights of passion, I feel you.
Day and night, stars and flight it matters not where you are; I feel you're there.
In my devoted heart, I feel you're there,
Under sun, moon, stars, and gale, your presence lingers here without fail.
Our hearts are joined forevermore and no matter the distance,
I know you're there...
Death
Open arms and empty eyes, I see them staring back at me.
He's cloaked in black with hands of bone and a cruel scythe of silver,
and eyes. calculating and cool.
It doesn't matter whom he takes it's death himself for heaven's sake!
He may visit you in the night or day.
Some try and hide, some try to pray, others invite him in with open arms and a grin.
Oh yonder, yonder, it's the great abyss! We fear, that we're from, that we'll return to,
forevermore.
Into the nothing, into the never, forever lost, forever, forever...
Ashes and dirt, decay and rust, into the ground six feet under.
Sparks in the fire, back to the ground, go back around,
Your circle is complete, forever, forever, to the arms of death,
into the never.
Go back to were you came from,
into the never, forever, forever...
