  There Was

  

  By FearlessAngel, Bellevue, NE

  There was. There was a time I shook with shame With fear of failure and With a heart considered tame. There was a time I held the knife Instead of running free With nothing in hand but a kite. There was a time I wore baggy shirts And long sleeves but only Because the lines reveale...

  Bloody Dawn

  

  By FearlessAngel, Bellevue, NE

  I'm waiting For light For hope For anything Worth fighting for. I'm dreaming For a place For a home Of a time Worth living in. And while I wait, Patiently, These vains Do bleed. Not by choice Not by gain Not by anything Worth the Mentioning. A...

  Here I Stand

  

  By FearlessAngel, Bellevue, NE

  As I stand Stand alone Under these stars This night sky This black night Presses in, Envelopes Who I am. Reflecting What I am not Under bright lights Twitching, Twinkling, Dwindling lights. As I stand Stand alone With no one, Not one Of so...

  Come Home

  

  By FearlessAngel, Bellevue, NE

  Panic; its almost time. Jump out of a cab and run through glass doors. Apologize; bump into people. Take the stairs two at a time without falling down. Run; wiping away tears. See a woman with a flag wet from her tears. Search; panic rising again. Where is he among these families waving ...

  A choking breath A desperate prayer A sweet memory A dead man's stare. An unused bullet An open wound An orphan's cry An endless rest. We hold these Truths to be Self-evident that All men are Free to die In the line Of self-sacrifice; To be for...

  Red Heads

  

  By FearlessAngel, Bellevue, NE

  Red A misunderstood phenomenon; One without end. Associated with rage, Or a passionate fire. However true it may seem, Those of us with the curse, Have a calm disposition, deep down. Please do hesitate in your judging, For we, we are human too. Red is our ...

  I Am...

  

  By FearlessAngel, Bellevue, NE

  I am I am an unspoken confession, Simmering on your tongue. I am the hue of weakness, When all seems secure. I am desire in the night, During your worst nightmare. I am the endless blue-grey, Of the Mediterranean. I am the warmth of summer, Lost in forg...

  Winter the Thief

  

  By FearlessAngel, Bellevue, NE

  I’ve never enjoyed the cold seasons. They never seem to end. Frosty air, like mini swords, burn my lungs. Still air suppresses lovely warmth. The Earth is robbed of Her beauty. As She sleeps, my soul lay with Her. Family comes to nag, pry and eat. Winter...
