Bethany Maxwell Poems

The life is all we have; the death is all we need
It sets in our souls as an unfertilized seed
We know it will root soon, and take over our mind
And its stalk will sprout and wind
...

They fall through time as a leaf from a tree
Trees so green
Green as life, green as death, as the souls
Souls that are lost, lost forever
...

You have given me the key to your mind
Oh, how I thought you so kind

I look in the mirror to see your face
...

Everynight in the dark she walks
Everynight in the meadow he neighs
She walks out to her horse
He raises his ghostly head, spots his owner
...

I sit and think of the moment I shall have
The moment I leave this place to find what is truely mine
The moment I will soon have
...

Why do people fear me?
Why do the long for the day I appear to them to never come?
Why can't they look at me like a friend, not a foe?
Why do kids think of me and cry?
...

Who? (death part: 2)

Who do they want me to be?
Who do they want me to portray?
...

Sleep to the symphony of life
For your breath is the music
Your thoughts are the lyrics
Your heart is the bass.
...

Your hands run over my breast
You slide into me as my body welcomes you as a guest
Your body moves as mine follows the steady pace
As your body bulids it becomes a race.
...

The liquid falls over their body
as they scream in agony

The burning burns their skin
...
