When Doves Cry

The screams of strife and disheartened
I can here her crying in the night
I can hear her grimes of strife
Elusive but intrusive to my peace
of mind.

Disheartened by the losses
Heart aching from all the torture that has
befallen upon her, suffering insurmountable
the tears kiss her with unknown destiny

She had a benign heart
diseased with the expectations of might
Alas she tried her unknown destiny
and ceased her life waiting at the windowsill

Who has tore her apart so savagely?
Her pain is unimaginable
Cruelty to a heart so open
Heartless is the one who did this to her.

However, alas time passes
The tears have subsided
A new day comes and healing
Is reborn
Smiles come again
Laughter flows all around

Healing helps those who are in pain
A life of strife never to be revisited in
this soul again.

Belinda ‘08

No Change Needed

It was quite for a long time
Peaceful tranquil, not even a
Stir of the winds was felt.

Everyone got along
Everyone smiled and laughed
At the silliness and joking mannerisms

Now the wind has changed
The fire is burning
The old brush now burn a crimson red
The barbarisms of harsh words
Volatile exchanges should not have
Never been said

Finger pointing, name calling
Visions of real life surface in
This once tranquil place we all
Tried to run, but believe me
We could not ever hide
It is always one bad apple

Now the storm moved on
Left in its wake a torn mess
Cannot correct the damage
How can anyone manage it all?
Of this why did it have to be
Like this?

Change was never needed
For it was never necessary
Change comes when people
Are willing not because of
A disruption or anticipation
Of collaborated misunderstandings

Did I need to be told that I was too much?
A chain
A link that needed to be broken
To me there was no need for change
For the few souls that caused the damaged
Managed to change all that for us.

Psalmist 08

Healed

My soul is in darkness
Hear my cries
Listen to the shouts of my screams
Echoing through the dark.

Help me
Help me for I am dying
Can you hear me crying?
Everyone that was with me
Is gone and nowhere to be found
The sounds of joy and laughter
Has faded in the surrounds of eternal
Silence.

Can feel the whip of anger and hatred
Slashing across my back and the open
Wounds gushing out the crimson rivers
Of suffering and anguish my despair
Tormenting me where is the hope that I
So desperately, crave?

Suddenly a light beamed through the dark
The cries of pain have subsided
The tears of emotional despair has dissipated
The joys of my life has returned and no more
Suffering will, I fear and feel for the tears
Will never swell up in my eyes.

I welcome the light into my soul
Light up my heart and repair the damage
That took its toll. Come and touch me
Embrace me with your love lift my spirit
Let me know that you care and hold on to
Me forevermore.

Now the darkness is no more
The score has now been settled
No longer will I fear of being old and alone
For my soul has been healed by the touch of
Heavenly light the sight that is sheer music
To my heart and soul.
