A Walk Through a Forest
Anonymous
The snow dipped trees quake with cold
No trace of human life
The forest deems its hope as sold
Pushing through the strife
What is that, your keen eyes see?
Consider them deceived
Someone, something makes to flee,
Its tidings preconceived
A squirrel, perhaps a fox,
Dashing ‘cross the snow
It’s no September equinox
At least that’s what I know
How could something be so brave
To walk against the chill?
Leave behind its cozy cave
To slowly trudge uphill
No, you are mistaken
‘Twas a whisper in the wind
To account you must take in
The population’s thinned
Alas, I must depart
My walk is at an end
Nature, like an art,
Fades away around the bend
Midnight to Twilight, Night is Everlasting

The beauty, encouraged by the setting sun,
Aroused by the pallid moon.
Reflects upon the trees.
Dyed violet from the setting sun,
Creeps across the darkened town.
Each movement quick, smooth.
Advancing with the grace of a dancer.
Its velvet palms encircle the city,
A cloak of midnight specked by stars.
The constellations close above,
Pasted through the sky.
Violet and indigo with polka dots of white,
The stars reflected upon the shut windows.
So beautiful, close enough to touch.
The fragile fragments threaten to shatter,
The mystical display soon over.
A Compilation of Poems

A Song a Bird Sings Over and Over
Tell me evening birds
About the dance with a song
About the tears of children and people in hard times
About the heart of somberness.
Tell me stars of heaven
About the country of darkness
where the clouds are mild
Hearts pure as water.
Tell me evening sky
About tears and dreams
About strange shadows
that disappear
into tomorrow,
which marks the start
of a new day.
I know the day won’t bring what I want,
but the sun begins with a whisper
Then sings a song of an elated feast.
I’ll make my tears sparkle;
Tell the stories I had
And learn earth orbits
And so do we.
More Love
Supply me with an excuse of love,
and I’ll never be ashamed.
I’ll ask you to tell me the truth
And I hope you don’t give me a lie.
Love is life, we have our youth.
We all have the right to live:
the right to love
the right to die.
Say to those who went before me
choose right to love
And the ones after me
Chose the right to live.
I once have gone away with my beloved;
A secret we had thinner than a breeze.
I’ll give you a good fortune,
which shines on its face.
So live and be happy
For the Earth turns around
and you don’t know
what will happen.
Don’t say life isn’t facing you
Because you aren’t facing life.
Don’t Love Me
I shouldn’t blame you
for hating me.
I should blame myself.
I didn’t love myself,
so that is when I understood
the reason you didn’t love me
Back.
Chapter and a Title
I read,
and my books define me.
I found you.
But after a time I discovered
that you were just a chapter in my book,
and I was the stupid title on your cover.
How ironic is that, dear chapter!
Better
After I knew your dark truth,
I knew what life is!
You know,
It is better to be hated for what you are
Rather than be loved for what you aren’t.
Wrong
Who said you were wrong for leaving?
You made a sin just by coming back
And who gave you the thought of having me?
You can’t.
Never did, never will.
