An apple a day
-keeps the doctor away,
But the reaper don’t care for your health.
Every day
-you’re an accident away,
From meeting the reaper himself.

The Curse Of the Mothman
This one is a little bit different, I wrote this as a song and thought I would share it here.
Disaster follows me wherever I go, I cant hide away I cant fly away
A cataclysm deep inside my soul please help me please help me
My eyes glow red from all the blood I see
My wings they hang down low
I see the earth crack and the mountains cry
I watch the lava flow
My screech is defening, cant you feel the pain
My wings they beat like a hurricane
I try to warn you of the coming rains
But they’ll brand you insane
The works of Shakespeare right before my eyes
Is that dread I feel
Have you spoken your last goodbye
What was your last meal
I hope you held your loved ones tight
I hope you held them dear
I’m just a drifter running from my past
But the future is what I fear
I hear the heartbeat of a thousand souls
I hear their silence too
I only wish that you believed in me
Just like I believe in you

Scattering Sunlight

The world cleansed anew

The Gardener
I know your garden through and through,
Every leaf and petal, I nurtured.
I watered your grass and tended your soil,
And left my own garden deserted.
I planted my lillies where your poppies lay,
And daisies among your Roses.
And while your new garden begins to open,
The gateway to mine, it closes.
Spring now here, your flowers a-bloom,
Your garden no longer needs tending.
You cast me away, to a land of my own,
I am alone and my garden needs mending.
Now My daffodils are dying and I don’t know what to do.
-Nessie Roswell
One Day
One day there’ll be no goodbye,
One day is coming soon.
One day we’ll no longer cry,
One day is coming.
One day the birds will sing for all
One day we’ll hear their tune
One day we’ll hear Earth’s mighty call
One day is coming soon.
One day the world will sing with joy
The poor are poor no more
One day there will be no war
No quarrels, no struggles to endure.
One day I’ll wake up next to you
One day the world will be perfect
One day life won’t do us wrong
And one day we’ll deserve it,
One day we will deserve all of it…
One day one day will be our everyday…
One day is all we need.

Virtue
Man
A pillar
A symbol
inscribed in the architecture of the universe
Limbs outstretched
Reaching the very edges
Connecting the human form with the divine cosmos
The circle
-complete
The square
-Uniform
Life
stable, yet imbalanced
Eternal, yet finite
The conscience of man
Recent
Now forever part of an infinite code
inevitable
-Nessie Roswell
Petals
Petals fall gently
-Laying softly on the breeze-
Whisked towards the sun.
-Nessie Roswell
Messenger for the Gods
Small wings carry your
-Delicate bodies- floating
Singing divine verse
-Nessie Roswell
Still not sparkling
His life grew stagnant
-Like lonely water.
No upstream, no downstream, no current.
-Just water.
The essence of life
-Water
But water alone
-Lifeless.
Bring the winds.
Bring the storm.
Still water has no spark.
-Nessie Roswell
1618
Laced in the code of the cosmos
Lies a value of heavenly design.
So small, yet ever so infinite
Spiraled round a golden shrine.
The fabric of the universe
-Irrational-
