The
Faces
Remain here
Haunting my soul
Each one different
But still the same being
This, the house where I grew up
No longer holds fond memories
Instead it bears the marks of a child
Forgotten, alone, fending off evil
An evil that still dwells inside of it
How I long to rid myself of it
Banish it to another world
Yet, I remain stuck within
A gruesome gabled home
With fiendish faces
Always ogling
Rescue me
Fondly
Anne

Criss-cross applesauce

I hit the chair and watched it toss

Across the patio it flew

I wasn’t quite sure what to do

I wonder if my mom did hear

But, I don’t see her coming near

Maybe this time she won’t know

If the chair is upright, should she show

Okay, it’s good, all fixed, but gee

I guess no more jump rope, here, for me

Full moon child
Light shines
From thine heart
Floating gently
Across the night
We are one
Hand to soul
Grasp the power
Of the light
Hold steadfast
Until the dark
Is done

Watch the light
Flow slowly by
Breathe it in
Nothing between us
Not you nor I
Can ever stop fate
From beginning
Again

Fear not
The light
That covets
Night skies
Bask
In the glory
Of brilliance
Peace
Comes to you
In celestial sigh
We are
The dark’s
Resilience

Can you recall a time, when you were a child?

And all you ever wanted to be was naughty?

Adults tried to get you, to modify your wiles

Lest you’d wind up being snooty, and haughty

She picks each flower, one by one
Looking for the perfect petals to share
Gathers them under the blazing sun
To bring home, to mama, waiting there

The yellow centers, toward the light
Her fingers clasped tightly around
Bright green stalks, hold on, with might
Firmly anchored into the ground

Still, she chooses, by just a hunch
Why that particular one entrances
Together, she holds them, in a bunch
Places them in a vase, and mama dances

She loves to see her mama smile
It’s not often it happens, but then
These beauties, which always beguile
Are bringing happiness home, again
