INNOCENCE RAPED
Shades of calm, Shadows soothing
Tiny tear drops, Love is losing
Magical moonlight, chartreuse, gold
A broken promise, a heart grows cold
Peaceful patterns caulked in hate
Shift in star beams
Innocence raped

HOME AGAIN
They say you can't go home again,
Last night we slept there, sure
Upon the dappled hills we lay, content
As ever were.
The morning fell so clear, so fresh
As sunshine warmed my eyes.
A scent of roses filled the breeze, and
I startled in surprise.
Home at last, no wanderlust?
Just calm and joyous peace.
My family waving far below,
To welcome my release.
Anticipating our reunion
I attempted my descent.
But the hill became a quicksand
It was clear just what that meant:
The family far below was an
Illusion wrapped in gauze
This cruel dream had fooled me
With a day that never was.
