The Red Flare Flower...

Looking up into the sky,
Above the mountains I passed by,
My heart was stabbed with just one line,
Life is tough but you'll be fine.

Passing the rivers that hit the rocks,
I felt my calmness crash and get good shots,
By the troubles that are yet to come,
So clever you are the stabbing one.

I feared about the things to come,
Building up more troubles like rocks,
My heart sank in I left that block,
Crying out loud, my knees kissed the ground.

This life for sure is so very tough,
The paths I crawled are so very rough,
I see more signs of fading smiles,
But can I get so weak with just one line?

Wiping off the tear drops,
Opening the door that I just locked,
I realized, its still not time to worry about,
With this in mind I ran back to the top.

It was you the stabbing one,
That threw me down from many to none,
Can you see the hot blazing sun?
She loves to burn, not just for a month.

Have you seen the pretty bright moon?
With her silvery shine, she's icy cool,
Have you seen the red flare bloom,
She blooms at night with the sun's light,
Which is gifted to the moon.

When The Lights Went Out...

Surrounded by four brick walls, I could not look out, they were too tall, Watching the steam escaping the spout, I looked out the windows so small. On this chilly and gloomy night, I was amazed by the stars so bright, I realized there's always some light, It's just a matter of catching our sight. At the time, everybody just frowned, My heart was filled with stormy clouds, Seated on the chilly ground, I enjoyed, the chirping sounds. Even though I had to shout, Trying hard to chase away the stormy clouds, With a prayer requesting for a favor, To the lessons taught by nature, My head I bowed, On the gloomy night, When the lights went out. -Debra R.

The Untold Goodbyes...

To the sky, a gun was fired, A bird shot down, tangled on a wire, Bidding farewell, to the life he desired, He missed a beat, that the heart required. A frizzy worm fell, off his beak, A drizzle of hay, slipt from his feet, The flock flew away, with cries and screams, While baby bird in the nest, longed for his meal. That innocent soul, lifted into the skies, With desires, hopes, and baby bird in mind, The skies absorbed, the sorrows with sighs, And mourns reigned, for an untold good bye. Tear drops escaped, the eyes of the sky, Rain drops fell, on the nest so fragile, Baby bird wondered, why isn't dad on time, Until the nest fell off, while his broken heart cried. Lying on, the muddy floor, Looking up, he saw a door, That opened wide, with a bright glow, With four wings spread wide, and a cheerful hello. A sweet chirp said, "come darling let's go", Another said "Dads with you, our little fellow",...

Tomorrow's Mind...

Seated at my window, On a sunny Sunday, Bothering how, I'll survive the next day. The day flew by with nothing to say, No memories gathered for the day, With loads of worries blocking my way, There was nothing I did to live for today. The night flew by with regrets so great, Thoughts flew in the whole night so gray, Excitements of Friday has vanished away, Expectations of Friday was thrown away. I wondered how things went this way, What mattered was tomorrow and not today, This sudden thought just crossed my mind, What if I never had a tomorrow but only today. More thoughts just crossed my mind, The time I've wasted how will I find? The hills I could have climbed, When will I climb? We repeat this crime, We don't realize, We are trapped in this trap, Of tomorrow's mind. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-
