poetry – Page 8 – Noellie's Place

Unexpected chance

Young and soft faces overwhelmed by struggles

Seasoned and scarred hearts see with experienced eyes

running fast as you trip along the way

Searching for quiet…Finding a screaming echo
Searching for love…Finding a traveling hate

A flickering light puts out a message as moths fall

Look past the leather wings and claws

The barking guard dog has no bite

Play house

Play nice

Pick up a doll and hug it twice

WHERE do you find comfort sleeping on a bed of nails

Everything is good and what I’ve dreamed
Everything is wrong and not what we ever dreamed

Long tentacles with poison thorns thrash about

Touching innocence and those that never chose

Those with plenty but dare not share could lose it all with nothing to spare.
