Eyes Of Shadowed Sleep Poem by Heather Kemper

Black,
shades of trees.
Lies.....pain,
anger, deciet.
All tell,
stories of life.
Looking deep,
in brown eyes of gold,
I,
I,
I see the lies that were told.
All the pain,
saddness,
heartless tears.
Birds of song.....
wondering years.
Struggles of survival,
leading to...
Jack Daniels.
Paths,
we walk alone.
Schnapps,
My pepermint home!
Breaths,
acid stole.
Time dull as bone.
Why,
do these hearts never forget.
Such pain,
anger,
loves debt?
An aching wonder,
in my empty heart and head.
Why are such feelings cold?
Like....
islolated,
fingers,
they grab at my bones.
As i lay back,
from this frenzied trip...
I,
he,
we........finaly,
realize,
our deaths,
were shadowed in sleep.
