Light And Dark Demons

Light And Dark Demons

Let the night come

I do not fear the darkness

The demons of the night don’t scare me

I have control of my thoughts and dreams

I decide if they live or die

And I decide how any battles end

But, when the sun rises

New demons arise from their graves

I fear them all with my life

I have no control over what happens

They do not depend on me for their lives

Their battles are more vicious than in the dark

So, I hide as best I can

Not wishing to come out into the open

But, I know that I am going to die

And I know that it will not be the night which kills me

I will die at the hands of the demons of daylight

With my last breath I will laugh

Because I know that I will forever be in darkness

A world which I control

A New Start

A New Start

Every instant of every second

The world we know dies

Every instant of every second

The world is reborn

Nothing really changes

Yet everything has the chance

If we all decide to make things better

Another instant is coming up

Just jump in and make a change

Make the new world better

After all every instant of every second

Is a brand new start

His Dream

His Dream

By R.e. Taylor

What does he have to do

He has lost so much

In a very little time

He dreams of people in his life

Some of whom he has never seen

He often wonders what are they like

Do they ever think of him

His dream is to take them on his knee

Telling them stories he heard as a boy

Or maybe spend just five minutes

Holding their hands and looking in their eyes

Just looking to see if they are happy

Then, as his smile slowly fades as he dies alone

He could remember their smiles

Just as the fates decreed on the day he was born

The Lone Leaf

The Lone Leaf

She knew that she was dying

At the age of eight she still had a life

She played and went to school everyday

Hanging out with her friends

None of whom knew anything

She always walked the same path

Past a tree her grandparents saw planted

During spring, summer, and autumn

The leaves inspired her to live

But the longer the time the sicker she became

Still she walked to school

Always looking at the massive

Autumn and winter had taken their toll

All of the leaves fell to the ground

All except for one

A leaf that watched for the girl

And danced in the breezes she walked by.

Then one day the girl didn’t come

Another day and another day with no girl

The leaf didn’t need to hear what had happened

It knew that the little girl it cared so much about

Would never be coming again

Sadly, it fell to the ground

No one noticed

No one cared

Still that leaf knew that, to one angel, it was important

And to it, that mattered.

Loss Of Humanity

Loss Of Humanity

When did the Sun go down

That day the darkness came

And never went away

People turned dark and cold

Uncaring for anyone but themselves

Eventually the stars died

And the moon turned black

And that was the moment humanity died

The world was worse off for its loss

But no one was left to care

A Universe Away

A Universe Away

He sits and looks around

All he sees is green

Going on forever

This is not his world

He does not belong there

His world is a universe away

Where leaves turn gold in September

Where January brings a blanket of snow

And the world is reborn in the warmth of March

He dreams of watching the seasons pass

Each bringing a world of its own

His world is too far away

But his memories keep him going

Hoping that he will see his home again

Waiting to see the colors, the snow and the rebirth

That is if they are all still there

Just a universe away

Understanding A Writer

Understanding A Writer

There is a blank piece of paper

One by one words are added

Do they make any sense?

To the writer they do

And he doesn’t care if anyone else sees it

The writer knows the story behind them

And all of the secrets sealed within

Somewhere and sometime

Someone will look at the messed-up words

The writer will not know when it happens

But it will be seen by a special person

And they will understand
