SPEAK TO ME OH GRAVEYARDS


Speak To Me Oh Graveyards 

'' Speak to me'', Oh graveyards where the souls sleep 
Surrender your somber mind why drink in this dead like life in, 
Take with you old cold darkness this pain I hold in my soul, 
Take my empty desires and make a fair, 
'' My moon light don't shine no more '' 
I sigh with the wind of the silence of night, 
The sound of love gives me so much fright, 
Shattered dreams became apart of me, 
Loneliness is all I know, 
It became a friend to me, 
Oh graveyards with the souls that sleep, 
Hold me and keep me warm, 
My life runs in the night, 
With no one to hold in my life, 
No home to go to and call mine, 
I'm still trying to figure out what my life is 
What does it mean, 
Why would someone give birth and never claimed 
What that one made
When your lost were does life began
All I see is the end.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 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
