far too innocent to know the secret of creation
corrupted til she’d lost all sense of time
childhood memories float through eyes without elation
feeling less than good and more like slime.
Sad Girl
Reign of Blankness
Your forgotten debut
Interrupts your
Non-existence
Your childhood
Are documents
Distorted by time
Dreams
Fantasies
Discouraged from trying
Your adulthood
Distracts you
From peace of mind
The ringmasters
Surround your
Saturn stature
But the infinite universe
Minimizes your
Social influence
Your golden years
Are recollections
Of emphasized regrets
The unforgiving clock
Has seized your
Mirage of youth
And your everlasting death
Ends your
Reign of blankness
The Days When We Were Young
Sister! Sister! don’t you remember
The days when we were young?
The long, long days, with a light and a shade
Like the pearls of a necklace strung,
Like the pearls of a necklace strung?
They are gone, with all our yesterdays –
We seek their like in vain;
But we will shed no tears for them
While the bright todays remain,
While the bright todays remain.
Sister! Sister! don’t you remember
The days when we were young?
The homely house in the fat, far away,
Where the love of our childhood clung,
Where the love of our childhood clung?
There is naught to mark that sacred spot,
Save now the beaten loam;
Yet distant altars have we rear’d
In the bless-ed name of home,
In the bless-ed name of home.
Sister! Sister! don’t you remember
The days when we were young?
The mates of childhood — the friend of our youth –
We companion’d and lov’d among,
We companion’d and lov’d among?
Some are wand’ring far, and some in death
Have closed their weary eyes;
But we rejoice in new found friends,
While we weep for broken ties,
While we weep for broken ties.
The Forgotten Child
A childhood forgotten or perhaps the forgotten child
But the child never forgets
The words
The whispers
The screams
The pleas
The sounds
The sights
The smells
The fear
The scars
The humiliation
The tears
The guilt
The lies
Close my eyes and it will disappear
Like me it doesnt exist
It never happened
Forget the forgotten child
Another forgotten childhood or perhaps a forgotten child
Childhood Faded Away
Childhood Faded away,
to a far away land,
simple, so simple were we,
Days of Play,
Going our Way,
Having fun, no care,
for another day,
time for us stood still,
playing king of the hill
Childhood Faded away
thinking of another day,
summer time was fine,
when friends were kind,
swiming holes were filled,
our hearts were thrilled
Childhood Faded Away
to a time that makes me sway
many years have passed away,
since childhood faded to another day,
Childhood Faded to places,
UNKNOWN TO US
floating somewhere in time.
