Black Roses Left Behind

In my dream

I awaken

tears in my eye

my vision blurry

circling black smoke

forever,  changing world

people choking on

poisonous words

raven caws

in  a  barren land

hungry mouths

cardboard houses

burned to the ground

hopes and dreams

in the name of peace

concealing guns

who will save them

grim reaper riding in

on a rolling wave of fog

filling graveyards

with despair
black roses left behind
thorns of pain

In a dream I saw her

I wonder was she me

on a pearly rooftop

ancient drum in her hand
calling upon the spirit world

listening for pulsing rhythms

to grab hold of her heart

under a purple sky, she sighs

eyelids heavy, fighting sleep

waiting for quenching rain

to save  nature and mankind

dancing to the pounding beat
puddles under her feet

lifting her voice far & wide

into the heavens she cries

why???? why???why???
