Bewitched Night

Besieged by darkness
Beholding the night sky
She lay awake...
The sound of the Rustling leaves
In the soft breeze
melt her heart...
Memories came tumbling...

You are the hero
Handsome brave and bold
Everyone loves you
You’ll fight the great battle
And win

You are the villain
You only want death
You rule an empire you’ll only lose   
You mean nothing

You are the heroine
Beautiful and demure
Your fight is over so you wait for the hero
And

Winter's Scorn

I saw him on a winter's eve;

Alas he kissed my rosing cheeks.

Like frost and fog he quickly went

and had not been seen for weeks.

A chilling sat upon my heart.

Ice tears drove cuts down from my eyes.

I never loved another soul

Like I had loved him that night.

It is the children yet to be born

between us making us behave

Cold

You’re driving me away

A drunk behind the wheel

You’ve got a hold of my heart

That I can’t even feel

It’s a cold world

It’s an old world

It’s not what I expected

But it’s where I wound up

Between a hard place and a rock

I gave you another chance

The pipes froze so the water won't warm
I get back into bed damp and hope you reach--
you don't. You roll over. You leave. You don't call.
I eat toaster waffles alone and write a list that includes
snoring and how thin you want me. It is now
possible that everything was a

By Christina Hazelwood

I have a hunger;
burning deep in my soul.

Beyond mere desire
beyond my control.

It burns within me;
taking tremendous toll.
Not mere appetite
but a cavernous hole.

It seeks to quench

Come sit with me under my poetry tree and look at the view I saw
When I would sit and stare at this world so many years before.

Sit there beside me and look at me with the sun glowing on your face
You fit perfectly in my world in this naturally
