  A Letter of Response

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  i Dear Creator, Do you like to watch me struggle through life Like a puppet caught up by the strings? I am your pawn in your grander plan, But I still have a voice, proud and strong! I refuse to be bound up and restrained, Words lost to the ears through the years; I am stronger than that! Y...

  Cold, Cold, Go Away!

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  Days become shorter due to a small tilt Bringing low temperatures and high heat bills. Without enough sun all the flowers wilt, While frost forms on the sleeping brown-green hills. The warmth that the glowing summer sun brings, Sadly, replaced by layers of thick clothes. A cold front from...

  The Fall

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  To step and glide as light as winter air; Flowing through each step in time with the sound. A web of joy slowly becomes a snare The trap unknown even when fully bound. A point leap jump turn bow bring an applause The praise addicting as muscles grow strong. So wound up in the dance to tak...

  A Broken Heart

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  A pain like no other greets me As a tightness builds in my throat For you, never more, will I see In this now seemingly hollow world Tears spill from my eyes Almost like a river it flows free I'm not the only one who cries After seeing your lifeless form You lay motionless there in ...

  UTOPIA

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  The world was in chaos. It always was. The sky was filled with dark clouds that swirled into one another before letting a barrage of freezing rain onto the ground. The sound of guns could be heard from every direction. Many screams pierced the air from people that fled from the latest attack or from...

  An Everlasting Clock

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  Tick tock time goes on As you wake with every dawn. The blue sky outside awaits you As does the fresh morning dew. Tick tock time moves fast In our hands we have a past. The pain, the joy, the memories, Of heartache, love and apologies. Tick tock time may bend Only after you've rea...

  The Musician

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  The musician, he came to the room and he sat After taking off his red coat and big top hat. He undid the latch of his violin case And looked around at every single face. None of the audience smiled, as if their time wasn't well spent, At the musician and his light colored instrument. Ev...

  The Ghost Children

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  There once was a town called Drange That was always a little strange. There were very few people in this little place So there was always a familiar face. But in this town there was one rule, One the children thought was really cruel. One that took all the fun away And made the kids stay in...

  Moonlit Dance

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  Silver dust in the moon lit skies, Falls from her wings as she flies. Bright moon light reflects lightly, A spot light on her flight nightly. Tracking her dance, slow and smooth; Little dips and twirls with each move. Music of creatures of the forest Sing out of site wishing the best For th...

  The Forgotten

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  Dreams are lined up against the wall In this dark and dismal hall. There is no hope for them here, In a place that's full of fear. They may cry and they can plead But still they continue to bleed. I listen to the many sounds, As I make my daily rounds, Of those that suffer under my gaze...

  Beneath the Surface

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  Darkness Darkness all around I'm trapped here and am alone. I hear not a sound All I know is the hard cold stone. I'm lost to the world above Of the living and the dead Forgotten by those I love, Not a tear for me was shed. And even though I feel no pain, In this cold unmoving wor...

  The House of Lies

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  Left and broken the young dies In the house that's full of lies. As black hearts sing a mournful song And spin a tale that is much too long. Wandering souls cry out for hatred In the place that was once sacred. Death breathes on those who dream And then it brings them there to scream. T...

  It was a dark silent night. He rode his steed, a hand at his sword His soul brightly burning As he moved further on and on Away from his home to a land full of pain Where he would most likely die. Though he wasn't afraid to die, The kind and brave knight, Who knew not of any fear or ...

  Who Am I?

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  Who am I you may ask? The answer that I would give to you is I am me. But I don't know exactly what 'me' is just yet. That is for you to decide. As you look at me you decide who I am and what I am capable of. In your eyes I could be many things. Some things that are good and others th...

  Hunter

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  I ran through the forest. People were after me, guns in their hands. I continued to hear the blasts of those guns as they were fired rapidly at me. I had to get away from the hunters. My paws pounded against the cold earth as the sun rapidly set. Move faster, I willed myself. Finally I heard it....

  Love?

  

  By Dreamer21, Hockessin, DE

  What is 'Love' exactly? Use to know what love was, I did. That was before my Pap left my Mam. I thought that he loved us, Mam and me. He always said so, but I guess that he wasn't telling the truth to us. Maybe he didn't love us as much as he did the other woman. Mam loved P...
