Michael S... Poems

Butterfly
Will your wings curl up at the first sign of frost
Butterfly?
Will you hide away when the winter comes
...

My walking stick
I need you so
Lend me your strength
'Cause when I'm down
...

'We need some kind of leadership'
Cried the herd of sheep
'We must not let ourselves
stay oppressed the way we are'
...

If the dam should erupt
And submerge the countryside
Fear not, it will be with you
Whom all things I confide
...

Maybe you have not the scheme
The gentle rhyme of the artist's dream
And sorry, i'm unable to sooth you
But I swear that I've been here before
...

Down in a hole
Where noone ever goes
Down in a hole
Where it always snows
...

It comes from a place of deep hurt
Where cuts are bruised and stinging
And misty eyes have become faux
And you should know
...

Close the door, put out the lights
Know they won't be home tonight

Please stay still, she runs beside
...

I ask but one favor of you, my dear
Please think of me
Think of me when the azure sky departs from your life
Think of me when when tendrils of golden light
...

Carry me away on your scarlet chariot
Carry me to the place when I am loved
The only place
Carry me to where words are gentle
...
