Only Moppet can Make Mud Sweet

As the snow melts away,
showing the mud under the brown grass,
I feel the spring breeze cooling my face off,
as the hot sun dwells over me.

In the back yard with Moppet,
I can see how long the grass is,
as he trudges through,
looking as if he’s on a mission.

Moppet Rolls around in the muddy spots in the yard.
Why he does this, I cannot fathom.
I pick up the small, muddy dog,
laughing as I do so,
For his obliviousness of a bath in the future was very amusing.

Moppet Squirms in a playful sort of way.
as I am holding him,
he thinks I’m playing,
when really, I am trying to brush the black mud off of him.

I finally lose my grip.
Both Moppet and I tumble down into the mud.
I surrender to the animal.
There’s no point in trying to clean him,
now that I’m equally messy.

Moppet Lays down Beside me,
he buries his little face into his paws,
as if he were completely innocent in this entire situation.
He rolls onto his back in “belly rub” position.
I refuse.

He crawls over, whining in a sorry fashion.
He rests his head on my muddy stomach,
and looks at me with his tiny, black eyes,
as if he was meant to be there.

Angel

As I sleep I have a dream of an angel
approaching me.
She starts to softly speak
her voice as silent as a cloud
as the red sun is basking her in light
and feet above the floating ground
as though the vow of sanctity
and of all simplicity
waves are pounding behind the cliff of solid rock
making sprinkles of shining liquid dash on top of her.
With her luscious hair as free as the sky itself
her sunlit gaze is a mix of beauty and grace
and as I watch I release my sin
the sun goes dim and life returns pouring in
time is none of the essence, only redeeming peace
and night comes kindling back into place.

Dream of Reality

In a dream, so far away,
On my bed asleep, I lay;
A cupid’s life, a dream come true,
From the dark, appearing was you.

Falling from the clouds below,
Wishing to say, I love you so;
As it began, dream to nightmare,
Speaking that you’ll never care.

The song I heard, the lullaby,
Foretold a horror, for all to cry;
The secret, lost, forgotten, and dark,
As mysterious as the bright, white lark.

These words still holding my fatality,
My world had hit reality.

Changes

Always trying to fit in
And be what they wanted me to be
My Original self isn’t what you see
You look at me and you’re hurt by what you witness in me.

Sorry for the changes I made
I guess I made our friendship fade
I just wished I could’ve made you stay
That very day I wished you’d never walk away
but that’s the price I paid
Each and every day
I can’t go on even if every things forgone
I won’t stand in your way
I’ll still stand by you though, I mean what I say
When your colours fade to Grey
I’ll still be here And when you’ve lost your way
I’ll appear.

You tell the truth like it is
Time is up You’ve had enough
You’ve called my Bluff .

You gave me chance after chance
To undo my wrong
And I couldn’t go back
You knew all along.

Dreams are shattered
Hearts are broken
Tears would fall
This really is the end of it all.

Looking in the mirror
The person looking back at me
This isn’t the girl I wanted to be.
Losing a friend
One time too many
This isn’t how everything was supposed to end.

And as watch the walls
Crash before my eyes
And as I watch my world
As it dies
I sat there and cried
Missing your friendship so bad
everything. Just gone to sad.

Thinking back to everything
And remembering everything we talked about
Even if we sometimes did shout or doubt
We always did work things out

There’s times where
I wish I could show you
I never really changed
But every things so out of range

Sorry for everything I did
The real me was hid
But nothing did anything real good.
And if I learned anything.
I will never give up on you
That is true.
Nor will I ever hate you.

Dreams often fade
Colours may turn to grey
Love may not always find its way
And sometimes being honest
Even if it does hurt
Shows Strongest. And Friendship.

The Song Poem

what would you do
If I sang every song to you?
I know that you deserve
all the flowers on this earth
I know it’s not far that you’ll stray
and I’ll never walk away
your like an envelope in my arms
I could never do you any harm.

the sun cascades the moon
the summer buds are all in bloom
and the breeze against your skin
feels as good as a lottery win.

I miss those days
used to go outside and play
all the funny things you said
all the stupid things I’d say
I miss your smile
and I miss your smell
seems like your going somewhere
seems like I’m going to hell

make up for lost time
you could try to rewind
make up for those days
that you’ve spent away
make up for lost time
you could try to put a smile upon her face
and you’ll be in a better place
just make up for lost time.
