Book II: Embrace My Innocence
Chapter I: Soul Murder

 

Peace Run

Panicked she ran
Field of green on fire
Through yellow daisies
Mashed potato mines
Long pink tongues
Shadows that bite
Pony rides in hell
Shutters in my mind



Monica Mitchell

Gone

Taken away
No return in sight
Mine, it isn’t right
Hide it away
Send it home
Mine it will always stay

But a choice this time
Given to be shared
Honoured to be remembered
Hope it will help
Not good enough, null and void
Silence now screams
My heart went into my square
Hope, it is enough!

SILENT NO LONGER
