It Matters...



Like sharp swords, that insulting mutter,
Went through my heart, 
for every word I shattered,
Wondering who coated your heart with rubber,
Oh helpless, yes hopeless I am, 
I gobbled my supper.

These eyes of mine, has 
no difference to a gutter,
That poured the water down, 
on a rainy summer,
"Why aren't anyone of you 
brave enough to shut her?"
Instead of that, I just said, 
"pass me the butter".

Oh yes this life, changes like the weather,
From the dawn to the nights, 
each day, grow tougher and tougher,
Going down the memory line, 
there's things we discover,
After all, there's more appetite, 
cause of the smell and the color.

My eyes ran, from one corner to the other,
Some think they've won life, 
cause of an uncertain lover,
Another face I see, 
like lightening has struck her,
In the rush I see sweet smiles, 
of heart broken mothers.

Why on Earth, do I even care to bother?
In the future I see, some broken shutters,
I'm not sure, if they will ever recover,
Get some cloth, I'll save them, I'll cover,
Please let me save, we are family, it matters,

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-
