The Heart will Tell

by Erin Williams

My heart bleeds for you
it pumps an eternal rage
when you near

whenever you go far away

I shudder and my heart stops

beating it's living blood

I want you to be mine forever

We'd never part, you and I

For the heart knows the truth

Baby, you are the one

Love Never Dies

By Erin Williams

Kid me not

but you leave me

stranded and alone

afraid, and even confused

I hate this hate

and would destroy it's source

if I knew

how to do that without hurting you

My eyes stay wide open during the night

The stars don't tingle the same anymore

The sounds in the hallway, they're there

But they don't frighten me nearly as

much as your desertion ever could

When a rose blooms, and begins to bleed

I feel afraid for it's beauty

It will wilter and die, as will I

After it's joy has been spent

After it has been picked from it's safe home

And home is a place we choose

Not where we are born or forced to stay

One we build ourselves with who we love

A place that would never part us

And with this I close my poem

But my mind, my heart

stay open

waiting for your nourishment and seed

your smile and warmth

living only to feel your breath upon mine

Dream Darkly

"Dream darkly," said the cold dead thing.

Its eyes aglow with strange crimson purpose

In the dark corners of your mind

Will wait the things you should not know,

Nor speak of like common social commentaries!

Only between the fabric of the sleep of night,

Can you let them slip into the shadows of dreamland. . .

Stuff formed from dark dreams,

Darkly soulless things; prose of imagination lovecraftian

Stories to haunt you, coldly deep--

Dreams dark and systolic. This poem was by Pamela K. Kinney


As I sit here looking where you lie,

I see you trying so hard not to cry.

Your bright cheery face has slowly turned so gray,

From the months of medication, taking a little bit

more of you every day. Seeing you in pain is tearing me apart.

Knowing your dying is breaking my heart.

I sit here and keep asking God why,

Why does my daddy have to die?

He doesn't deserve to be in this place,

Please God just make an exception in his case.

He won't be there on my wedding day,

He won't be able to give me away.

Now we are at the end of his road,

He's letting go of his heavy load.

I am not quite ready to say my goodbyes,

It's nto everyday that yoiur daddy dies.

Now I will leave you alone daddy,

Please don't ever forget me.

I hope you know how much I loved you,

And for you there was nothing I wouldn't do.

Now go to Heaven and get your wings,

and enjoy all of the good things.

This is for my dad who died 4 months ago!!

I love ya daddy

Who knows?

Erin Williams

The blood runs swiftly down

the knife is sharp and silver

the slit in the young woman's throat

lets out a small red sliver

Everyone runs around screaming

as if there hair is on fire

they don't know why this person was killed

The only one who does know is in a position much higher

than ours

A chainsaw swipes an old womans' belly

cutting it in half

the upper part folds and collapses

from the blades vengeful wrath

A child is stole from his home

His window was left open and bare

No one ever hears from him again

It shows us the world no longer can care

A priest investigates brutal church slayings

he prays to the lord above for reassurance

the lord answers in his deep, wise voice

The world is becoming a blood-infested current

of rage.

No one cares what happens anymore

We are too blind to see, to loud to hear

We ignore the killings or shake our heads

But remember this....

No ones memory is ever clear

from pain
