Fireflies

No matter what emotion I may be feeling,
Be it anger,
Sadness,
Jealousy,
Or envy,
I’m immediately filled with nothing but joy,
Whenever I see the little flicking of fireflies,
Their little lanterns illuminating the trees,
Like fairy lights on someone’s deck,
They always make me happy,
For both their beauty,
And the fond memories they conjure

The Ballad of the Fallen Angel

There once was an angel 
On the right side of God 
A ruler of heaven 
Whom everyone awed 

A vision of ecstasy 
For many years it remained this way 
He was a vision of truth, of hope 
Until one unspeakable day  

Some ask what he did 
He decided to let the darkness in 
Which had never been done before 
For it was considered an unspeakable sin 

As punishment 
His wings were cut off 
Feather by feather 
Until all that was left was a little scoff 

His golden halo he wore with pride 
Was split into two 
And out from his head sprung two horns 
That had a blackened hue 

Then he was pushed from the gates of Heaven 
Falling down to God’s creation
Burning up as he fell 
Causing earth’s damnation 

He fell straight through earth’s core 
And out of earth again 
Until he finally stopped 
When god said “amen”

There he lay 
Burnt to the bone 
In his kingdom made of fire 
All alone 

Now some may ask was what he did so bad 
The answer is up in the air 
The truth is he let the darkness consume him 
And that is the purest form of scare

Comfort

Feathery foam burn down into my belly,
salted lime taint the tip of my lips
sweet rose bitter, bubbly, brash,
Dos Eques, dark auburn or jade,
Hazelnut coffee, warm vanilla biscotti,
barrel of emerald  to rest in bed,
