  I'll go first then....this one is a bit serious....

  NOTHING

  In the lonely dark

  they drove you

  in a final embrace.

  The groans of men,

  the thud of coffins

  transformation of forces

  pass thought in marble

  never quite balanced.

  Don’t confuse, seen in such a light,

  do more damage than good.

  Recount.

  I was home with all of you.

  When you have nothing

  you have nothing.

  The peasant in you

  is all alone.

  Our delicate feet will touch the earth

  again.

  Long is the night

  saying goodbye,

  taking only my farewell with me

  around my neck

  I unharness the focus

  of the situation

  behind the curtain.

  Life is strife and

  we cannot retrace our steps.

  I am a tide of wounds

  from a distance

  caught in dew.

  A tempest in a teacup

  broken up from nothing

  on the table.

  Go to sleep.

  When you have nothing

  you have nothing.

  I am busy with my dying.

  EmptyInside

  Good Loz.

  I write a lot,but I'll just share one I wrote many years ago. I kind of forget how I described the trees originally,lol. Poetry helped me get through the dub years,without having to be on meds.

  "Nothingness"

  Dimming shadows haunt the moon

  As it hides behind whispering trees

  For the wind is silent

  It escaped the world

  Before it lost its gravity

  And fell in a black hole

  Where time is not counted

  Ex Witness Lament!!!

  I look upon my life today,
  And wish that i had known
  There was an easer way
  For my children, I could have shown.
  Instead of hours of rushing out
  to meetings,"Doors & Halls"
  To distant towns & cities too!
  Waiting for advice from the Watchtower crew
  There was just one voice to hear
  Who said" Be still my friend"
  My yoke is light ,Your in my site
  no need to rush around each night
  in freezing rain,in sleet,& heat
  expressing you have comely feet
  Many of you walk in pain,a need
  THEY say ,your life to gain."
  HE paid the price for you & I
  Why listen to that lie?
  So lift that yoke ,put on the cloak,
  Salvations HIS to give,
  Lets watch our way,keep in HIS way
  His light will shine our path today....

  All atheists may now toss the rocks LOL

  Ode to a Factory

  I think that I shall never see

  A factory lovely as a tree.

  For if the factories aren't abolished

  All the trees will be demolished.

  Even at 12, I was a budding 'tree-hugger', when I parodied the famous Kilmer poem. :D

  Flashback

  Blood dripping from steel claws

  Makes tracks in my memory.

  Indelible ink for the soul.

  The helmet of death draws nearer.

  okay, a happy one, and then I'll shut up ...

  The Numbers Game

  My friend said,

  "Age only matters if you're a wine or a cheese."

  So what does this mean, you may say?

  Seems to me, we're too focused on

  BIRTH - DAY.

  You are beautiful, young and alive,

  Now listen up, gurl, this ain't

  NO JIVE!

  "Youth is wasted on the young",

  A wise person said.

  So, come with me, and we'll

  PAINT THE TOWN RED!

  You're the best, you're the greatest, and

  You help me survive.

  My friend, age is a number,

  But YOU, you are

  YOUNG and ALIVE!
