POETRY

No More Yesterday
Looking in the mirror today
not seeing what I should see
A sad young face from yesterday
was staring back at me.
The look in her eyes was desperate
so young to have been betrayed
Blue eys filled with bitterness
because of the price she'd paid.
At once I felt a prisoner
to the memories her young face brought
The past rushed back in tenfold
of the battles I once faught.
Tears streamed down my face
as I looked at my forgotten friend
The loss of her innocence though not her fault
brought nightmares that would never end.
I reached out to the mirror
to wipe her tears away
My eyes were full of understanding
I Love You was all I could say.
Suddenly she smiled
yes I'd found the key
My love was all she'd waited for
at last now she was free.
As she faded from the mirror
I could almost hear her say
Smile now my beloved friend
There's no more yesterday.
Through The Eyes Of Time
On a dark and cold street corner
I heard a child cry
Looking at her tear streaked face
I could only wonder why
I wondered how the world would seem
when looked at through a child's eyes
Would it be a world of rainbow colors
or only black and white lies
Per some terrible twist of fate
reality approached to soon
To wipe away the misty colors
before they were in full bloom
Through her eyes I feel deserted
in a world she doesn't understand
Her youth has been taken
by the lust of an older man
As she grows into a woman
through her painted eyes I see
Her dreams in life are shattered
killed by reality
I want so much to tell her
how much I understand
I too have felt the lonliness
of no one to hold my hand
I want to give hope to this child
for her life is one with mine
And things in life can truly change
just look through the eyes of time
O Mother
O Mother I heard you calling
Beckoning me home
Speaking of your love for me
I am no longer alone
The pain has turned to wisdom
The shadow has become my friend
I am comforted by the ballance
As this life comes to an end
Thus a new life is beginning
As I die a Shaman's death
I am reborn a Priestess
I breathe deep my first free breath
My Younger self rejoices
My Deeper self burns bright
My Talking self is silenced
By the lessons of the night
Witch I was, Witch I am
Witch I will always be
For the magick of the Goddess's love
Burns inside of me
Written by me on my 6 month anniversay of being clean from drugs!
