Warmth teased the winter day

Sunshine melted cold away

But such a ruse it did impart

With winter’s icy frozen heart

Dropping snowflakes, one by one

Clouds did cover up the sun

Still spring was lurking ever near

With yet another sweet premiere

Reminding him, his days have past

When spring, again, arrives at last

The last of winter softly falls

Dressing berries in coats of white

The harbinger of spring awaits

To bid the frost its final bite

To chase it back from whence it came

And banish cold and bitter days

Let warmth replace the icy blasts

With sunlight’s glistening golden rays

Brought about by blackened night

Shadows lurk beyond the light

Causing you to doubt your mind

In your dreams, you seek to find

The open door that’s let them in

The portal where it all begins

Spirits haunting as you sleep

More appear in slumber deep

Wandering about the room

Moaning, in a somber gloom

Yet no one hears them cry but you

You have to wonder what is true

Do these spirits fly among the beings?

Or is this just madness that you’re seeing?

This,
this is what causes me to
lose,
lose my faith,
my faith
in the human heart, the
Human being.
So out of control, like a
runaway freight train,
Touching down like a tornado,
a swirling destruction of debris,
taking everything in its path.
All in the name of what?
What,
I ask,
do you gain
from sacrificing
your mortal soul
to the demon known as
greed

Though wilted and dry

Our veins, forever nourished

Within love’s petals
