White roses hang over the fireplace, dripping, dripping,

Spitting, crackling fragments of flames into the wet air.

Each spark contains a memory that shines as a bright as a thousand stars.

Times laughing over games of Articulate as we imitate our friends and loved ones,

Clinking glasses of coke and lemonade and crying over silly jokes until our eyes fill with joy,

Playing football in the park until our legs tire and the sky turns to dark,

Riding bikes across cornfields as the moon twinkles a trail of glitter behind us,

And stroking lavender across the meadow as the butterflies and crickets sing.

While there are waterfalls, mountains, lakes where birds may soar so high, so far away,

I realise all I need to do is stay, and look into the fire at home and I could be anywhere.

Scatter

Scatter

Leaves scatter into the air after Dad throws them up high

His fingers tremble as they circle in the wind before falling with a crunch

Mum ruffles and sparkles through her own brown eyes,

And my sister breathes out with a relaxed sigh.

Magpies flap their wings as they fly into the watered sky,

As I wonder why. Why do they chirp as they pass by?

The leaves sing a song for the fallen that have passed away

To remember life is precious, each and every day.

She Sits

She Sits

She sits
Her cheeks burn as brightly as the red roses planted in the soil
Her pearly white hair glows like doves flying above in the cloudless sky
Her fingernails rest softly in her lap like fallen petals from the walnut tree
Her smile casts as the sun draws shadows onto the emerald grass
Her laugh echoes through the breeze, ruffling the snails in the undergrowth
Her memories of ballroom halls, ice-cream parlours, walks along the seaside
Flicker, flicker, ninety times
Before sparking with more adventures with loved ones to come

Wash Away

Wash Away

When you are feeling scared and lonely,
In a world that seems frightening and empty,
When the bookshelves start to shake and your body begins to ache,
When you lose loved ones and have to say goodbye,
When you feel betrayed by friends who are no longer by your side,
Wash away, wash away

Rid the dirt out from your fingernails, the doubt from your heart,
Allow the words stuck behind your tongue to come out with a start
Wash away the dread you must be the only one,
You are not alone, there is always someone
Remember no matter how hard it seems, wash away
And believe that one day you will be okay.

One day you will be okay...Copyright © 2016 Pok_Rie. All rights reserved.
