Charlotte Riley Poems

The heavenly tears in her lagoon eyes sparkled, at first Alice thought it was the light; but there was no light in the hall; in fact there wasn’t even a window. “How peculiar? ” announced Alice. Alice scrutinized the room for light and spotted a glistening, jewel-like bottle on a glass table; the blissful glow shone brighter than the selfish moon in its dead night-sky.

“However did I miss such a curious belonging? ” Alice leapt towards the table in delight and pressed her eager fingertips onto the message incarved in the side of the paramount bottle.

Where art thou my father?
Who cries in dishonesty.
He feels like a failure
Still deeply I love thee
...

Your eyes lock in
I loose control
The world just passes by.
Your presence grips a hold of me
...

Sometimes I wish I could go to sleep
And never wake back up
Breathing a life of misery
Makes no sense, should be anything but
...

God lay in Heaven
And looked at the world,
With peace and happiness today,
No one fighting or being bad,
...

The world is full of so many undiscovered mysteries.

Histories of lost cultures, extinct species, the past we could not be there to witness; so many stories untold and what we have is merely but a distant memory sinking further away into the deep.
...

Down in my deepest, darkest dreams;
I wake to an unfamiliar voice
Unusual as it seems.
...

Defeated faces are bleeding
Rotting in rusted chains
It's crazy what I'm thinking
Still they're eager to remain
...

The silky strings of the soft white Goddess
Glide as one towards the entrance of heavens harmonic gates.

She dances smoothly across them in a swift and peaceful motion
...
