NIGHT FALLS


Night Falls 

Night falls all around me 
And I look into the stars were love was once was with me , 
Falling leaves hidden flowers and dreams , 
Lengthen nights and shorten days of gray , 
At night when I see those stars I think of you , 
When our love was true ! 
Every leaf that falls has a name , 
Every leaf I see your name , 
Even out in the rain , Oh so much pain you given me , 
I think of all the things we once did , 
You taken me by the ocean and you held me when I cried , 
You held on to me tight why we was looking at the blanket  
Of stars that was shining on us that night , 
The roaring anger of the fall rushes to the shore ; 
But sadly enough it may never be you and me , 
I know it may seem harsh 
But to me it is so true , 
I wish there could be a me and you 
But that may always be a wish 
Because it may never come true , 
Beating wildly the wind rushed over us like dust , 
The thunder of a broken hearts roar and crushes from the shore , 
Night falls and so do hearts , 
On hands and knees we weep a thousand stars from far .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
