Steffi Webster

Why do they run and scream in fear
Even when I do shed a tear
I never do them any harm
There really is no need for alarm
...

As I look up to the stars
That drift on a life's cold sea
One thing that is certain
They never shone for me
...

This poem is based on something that happened to me the other week. Enjoy!

I've got P.E. now hoorah hooray
I wish we had it every day
...

Regrets eating into my heart – thinking.
Into my mind my worries are gently sinking.
...

Through the restless dreams
And mindless songs
Future a shadow on sandy road
Breeze melding paths then gone.
...

Oh please I beg
Don't get me wrong
It's not the black I fear
But the unknown deep in the dark
...

The sun is warm, the breeze on my face
I can't help but feel at one with this place
I relax in the trees ample shade
And hear the bird's sweet seranade
...

I had the faithful
I had the few
Promised loyalty
Promised to be true
...

Do not cry for I'm not gone
I'm still with you dearest one
...

One word such a complicated thing,
Never meant but always said.
Four letters have power to break
Or bind, to cloud the mind,
...

The headaches mean I never sleep
But weep through keyholes.
All lives controlled by scraps of
Paper the souls enrolled by
...

The ground trembles and rattles my heart
I have heard this sound since the very start
The melody strikes at a chord in my soul,
Without that song I'll never be whole
...

The wolf pads forward, spear teeth bared
I tell you I was more than scared
I scrambled towards the nearest tree
I could tell it wasn't frightened of me
...

Poor pathetic fool you think you
Fell but you were tripped. Nothing
Accidental about your little slip.
Before me stand and offer up your
...

Sketch it out with paper and
Pencil, with freestyle thoughts
To flow through the fingers,
Spark of imagination seldom
...

What do you want?
Can’t you see efforts in vain?
Leave me out to taste the rain
To swallow down the tears of pain.
...

Through the cold dark tomb
I feel you stirring, bearing
Through the blackness a
Halo of light. Dwelled in
...

Faceless monster look around you
Look without eyes and see the pain forged by your lies.
For eyes are the window to the soul and you have none.
Not gone for you were born without such good.
...

Through the shadowed window
Breaks the soothing of the sun
To warm and wake the gliding
Dreams that drift and slide
...

The good intentions of the flowers
Lie withered on my desk,
The leaves and petals falling
Like whispers and tears of
