Donna Elouise James

Sitting at the waters edge
Under a moon lit sky
I find my safe place to cry
...

She returns again, looking for the sea,
looking, waiting, ever so patiently,
the tide of love slowly roles in,
with all its beauty and its sin.
...

Underneath the apple tree
In the cemetery
Amongst the stones an the souls
...

In the corner of my room
Curled up with my chin on my knees
I think about those days in the trees
...

Its not broken, shattered,
Fractured or ripped apart
Just sprained and bruised
My bleeding heart
...

Hidden behind closed doors
Protected by federal laws
Vile mankind is at work
...

You know the other night,
after we had that big fight,
an I had drank way too much wine.
...

Whenever it comes to your birthday,
I remember you walking away,
No loving kiss goodbye,
Or an explanation why,
...

In the morning, I comb my hair
And I imagine you standing there
And I say these simple little words
...

Every Sunday night my sister gives me a call
She talks for hours and hours
About nothing at all
...

I jolt, as a buzzing bee,
Who really isn’t interested in me
Flies rather awkwardly by
...

Does it look like I love you? ,
My case is packed, an I got a smile on my face,
The cab is nearly here, an I'm out the door.
I said 'I loathe you'..not ' I love you'
...

I was once a seagull
never able to sing a beautiful song
only screams and solitary cries.
Following the great ship of my dreams
...

I’m dancing the stage
Kelly’s in her cage
And Christy’s doing the pole
...
