short ditties…

Though my song is often troubled,
and my words are often cold.
I find my lyrics preferable
to the discord I behold.

****

Though my song is often troubled,
and my words are often cold.
I find my darkness preferable
to the blindness I behold.

****

A spirit formed from ancient lines
will be haunted throughout life.
Its newborn cries of innocence
are symptoms of its strife.

***

Early on I learned to hide;
to keep myself apart.
To feign acceptability,
and hide my deeper heart.

***

Such spirits shouldn't reappear;
shouldn't force their patterns home.
Their souls are full with sadness
and their hearts are meant to roam.

***

Yours the pattern I recall --
Your touch reveals my history.
Your every word recalls my life
disentangling my mystery.
