2. The Bed In The Sky

My tender blanket keeps me warm,
yet no comfort I require.
My springy mattress holds me firm,
still rest I don’t desire.

Tucked away from ill and fray,
so far away from life.
Flying with the birds of prey,
yet inside dwells the strife.

Heed my cry you mortal souls and take me,
for this lorn eternity will break me!

See me!
Feel me!

Looking ‘round my room, there’s only
wretched memories.
Still they do not understand,
it feels like centuries.

Stuck behind a wall of gold,
lordly, fooled and blind,
they who should have helped me grow,
left their girl behind.
They left their girl behind…

See me!
Feel me!

All I see is empty pages staring at me,
waiting to be bearers of the wonders to be.
Waiting for what I could never fathom to know,
unseen, unheard unwillingly since ages ago.

Words have been my sanctuary, soaking up the tears,
but they do not tell a tale… not one I want to hear.
They speak of dreams and fantasies and unfulfilled desire,
a blurry guise to illustrate my innermost inquire.


Hush now girl and don’t you dare!
You know Daddy made you swear!


The shelf I find most interesting, whatever there may be..
Curious I’ve always been and stories are for me.
All those words and tales, that are so different from my own.
I lose myself for just one breath, don’t feel like flesh and bone.

The thirst is overcoming me, I’ll never know enough.
And I will comprehend it all, I do not care how tough.
There is, however, riddles, that I can’t demystify.
Words can give you reasons, but they do not tell you why.

To whom may read those humblest lines,
stay prying, bright and strong.
Reach for what you can’t achieve,
you know where you belong!
