Someone

Someone is happy

Someone is sad

Someone's uncertain

and Someone is mad

Someone is playful

Someone is cruel

and I'm sure several someone's

are playing the fool

but this someone is lonely

while reading your posts

outside of existance

like some kind of ghost

forever to wander

but never to share

ignored and neglected

with no one to care

While someone's found love

Someone's found hate

Someone is bitter

Someone is late

Someone is anxious

Someone is kind

Someone is needy

and Someone is blind

Evol backwards only if I was loving

If I was love I would understand myself better

If I was love I would put U and I together

But instead i put Me in front of you

If I was love I would if I could love love better than I would

That's if I was love ❤️

Carrie Fisher

Oh, 2016 may well tighten its grip 

But right throught it's fingers, now Carrie will slip

America's shedding a tear in its strife 

As our Princess Leia fights hard for her life 

The Death Star's horizon arriving to say

"I've come here to take Carrie Fisher away."

And we won't allow it; she gave us the play 

The layout, schematics, and so she will stay

Oh, 2016, we just blew up your core

Disperse into history; bye; there's the door

The star systems gather; the Force is with her

No, don't give up, Carrie- on that we concur

AT MY DISPOSAL

You have been taught your legs are a pit stop for men that need a place to rest a vacant body empty enough for guests but no one ever comes and is willing to stay

She Came Upon a Midnight Clear (That Gory Lass, Gryla, of Old)

Midnight, and the whispers begin

The naughty kids cower in fear

Gryla is coming to feast on their sin 

The ogre- troll soon will appear

Fifteen tails, three heads with three eyes 

And horns of a goat at each side

Ears to her nose, sniffing demise 

The naughty have nowhere to hide

Mouth like a quarry, teeth as stone 

A hunger for flesh boiled in broth 

Grinding to powder every bone

Enjoying their bubble and froth 

Beards on each chin braided as twigs 

A foul anthem seethed in her harm

Iceland's children, her little pigs

And tenderness she plans to farm 

Leaving the mountain set to eat

The giantess has bags on each tail

Filling them full with mortal meat

She laughs as they bellow and wail

Clicking and clacking, hooves for feet 

Exasperate horror and dread

Smirking and smacking, oh, the treat 

For soon boys and girls will be dead 

Yule Lads, thirteen, hover around

The offspring of Gryla's design 

Sneaking and snatching, they have found

Employment's mischievous shrine 

Sheep Cote Clog fancies wooly sheep

And Gully Gawk downs the cow's milk

Stubby takes pies he plans to keep

And Spoon Licker steals his name's ilk

Pot Scraper ravages old food 

And Bowl Licker licks clean the bowl

Door Slammer wakes you, being quite rude

And Skyr Gobbler gobbles things whole 

Window Peeper keeps a look out

As Sausage Swiper swipes the pork

Doorway sniffer sniffs bread about 

And Meat Hook takes food off the fork

Candle Stealer steals all the light 

And leaves naughty kids in the dark

Gryla comes this unholy night 

Her children have left her their mark 

Once her new catches fill her need 

A summons ensures blood goes 'splat'

Beastly brutality will feed 

As comes her own pet, the Yule Cat

Ravaging any and all left 

Those children without new clothing 

Fill the beast's belly- lost, bereft 

As folly sating its loathing 

Red on the doorways; bloody streets 

A bloodbath beneath every tree

Nothing but pieces; tattered sheets

Removed for sad parents to see

Thirteen Lads head home with a grin

As Gryla and her Yule Cat dine

Midnight, and the whispers begin

The blood of the kids becomes wine

Stopping by the Prose on a Glowy Evening

Whose words these are I surely know.

His poem is on the website, though;

He may not see me reading here

To feel his verbalight aglow.

My fingers, locking, pull me near

To stop and think as words appear 

Between the loading page's wake.

No gentle write as uploads clear.

My fingers, scrolling, raise the stake 

And I just simply cannot break.

The wand of pen, a zen filled sprite

Of verbalight for poesy's sake.

This site, this Prose, engulfs my sight,

But I have deadlines I must fight,

And words to go, so I must write,

And words to go, so I must write.
