Death by Suicide

within 1 week 5 kids hav commited suicide by hanging themselves in Douglas County School District....


A rope, it hangs, and soon is hung
The morning smells like rancid dung
Gritty teeth and steely grins
A merchant man with many chins
Calls his wares and flaunts his doom
Chilling all within the room
His floppy hat with a feather stuck
In the brim like a prideful duck
Lures children new each day
Brightly bouncing, shows the way
Atop a chair beneath the ceiling
Choices now are set to reeling
Dealing cards from wicked hands
Holding breath from in the stands
A slow mo drop, an instant stop
Our hearts are all about to pop
Take it back, just hit rewind
Those things they did were so unkind
Wooden doors close on themselves
Ashes hidden on our shelves
Say goodbye with whispered tears
They’ve all come true, our greatest fears

Ode to a Lamp

Winding pedestal
Carves through air
Gracefully
Pricking pearlescent bubbles
So fair
You light my way
In darkest night
And seize the day
Give way
My fright
My beacon lighthouse
On the shore
A gliding
Seagull
Can’t ignore
O dancing clouds
O crashing surf
O Carolina
Sparkling
Turf
Your mighty glow
That blinds with beauty
As bright
As snow and your duty
Is to shine
So
I thank you
Lamp of mine
I want to see you
All
The time
When I wake I can’t
But cry to
See the sun
Because she hides
You
That sun so drear and all
Her heart so hot
A desert
And I’m taught
To not
Scorn that warmth
But oh the blaze that beats
Upon me
And all that I
Would give to
See
A trickling of dew
A drop on
Lips
So thirsty because I knew
I’d never find
A one
Like you
My dulcet darling
Standing still
Alone
But that cruel sun
Will soon
Atone
That you indeed my Sweet
Are better
Than all she does
To try and fetter
You
Beneath those beams
Of golden
Hair
Feathering out
Without
A care
The strands flit here
And often there
Tickling
Like a fuzzy pair
Of mittens
Woolen mittens wipe
My brow
The crowd
To which
I bowed stood weeping At the
Sight
So maiden Lamp
Send out
Your light
To keep us all
From dreadful
Fright
In darkened winter
Cold as
Night

Imagine

Image, Imagine
A world without color
Would only be duller
But if we could do it
There’d be nothing to it
Image, Imagine
If just waking up
Could fill up your cup
What would it mean
If Love were not seen
Image, Imagine
No bruises on knees
No carrots and peas
Only sameness about
But who has the clout?
Image, Imagine
A plain perfection
So full of infection
A drastic collection
Without a connection

Precious in His Sight

Father your Daughter is crying
Her heart is breaking in two
Father your Daughter is hurting
She’s gasping and calling for you

Father your Daughter is shaking
Her faith is crumbling inside
Father your Daughter is drowning
Needing somewhere safe to abide

Ruler your Princess is trembling
Her life is falling apart
Ruler your Princess is cow’ring
She’s not even sure where to start

Ruler your Princess is fading
Her soul is drifting away
Ruler your Princess is doubting
Awaiting her rescue someday

Sovereign your Chosen is searching
Her longing for you is clear
Sovereign your Chosen is fearing
She wants to know that you are near

Sovereign your Chosen is praising
Her trust in you has returned
Sovereign your Chosen is shouting
The doubts in your Name have been spurned!
