Grey by Nathaniel Krow

-

Grey, a reflection of my feelings today.

Smile, it’s the only thing you can do for a while,

And it’s like they say,

“It’s Scary, What A Smile Can Hide,”

Because it’s true, believe what you may,

A grin is as deceitful, as a turning tide,


These feelings I have, will never disappear,

For the problems I face, are always here,

I play by ear, but not just in music,

But even then, it’s not all acoustic,

They go about life, their eyes filled with Black and White ,

And here I stand, Grey clouds in my sight,


The time of day does not change, for the clouds are everlasting,

It’s all really strange, like an improper casting,

I thought I was alone, in my difference,

My suffering and pain, and all their ignorance,


Yet here you stand, beside me holding my hand,

Shining brightly, holding on so tightly,

As if you knew my smile, my style,

Was a mask of my pain, my past in my brain,

Your colors battered by the rain, running off of you looking to stain,


You look at me with those bright and beautiful eyes,

Knowing that my smile is just a disguise,

Encouraging me to follow you to where all the colors are,

In hopes of saving me before my last hour,


I want to believe you, I really do,

But even I can see, the scars behind your eyes and underneath your sleeve,

Nothing is perfect, in this world of neglect,

Where the colors do not blend, with the shades they offend,


Yet knowing pain, both mine and your own,

You don’t hide, nor deny,

I wanna be like you one day,

But right now,

All I see is Grey.

Your Soul of Paradise by Nathaniel Krow

 It’s raining today, Hope you’re doing okay, In that friendly home of yours, Or that aura you carry where it never pours, The calming river you are, The flowers that never wither, Springtime sweetness and Sunshine smile, The heat from my heart pounding, running a mile, Leaves fall in the Autumn breeze, Cool shadows form as the clouds shed their tears, Gentle stream singing to the sky, As storms cry and I shiver in the cold, Winter’s stars and bright Moon, Dancing constellations calm my anxiety, Lullabies sung to me by the whispering wind, Rays of loving light soothing my pain, The seasons so fun with You, All singing about your caring smile and gentle eyes, This place I rest in, lost in thoughts about you, Your distinct scent and embrace bringing me here, To the Island of Paradise you are, A place where we never have to worry, About time or pain, Your light carries the darkness away, Embracing it in understanding, Turning hurt and stain, Into wind and rain, Where the scars of our pain,

Lake of Regrets by Nathaniel Krow

-
  There will be hard times, Depression and disaster, But listen to the wind chimes, And time will fly faster, We all need someone’s help, A comforting shoulder to cry on, Someone to hear our yelp, From the depths of our colorless pond. A lake where all our fears reside, A place where there is nowhere to hide, A chain, rope, a string that is tied, A place where we all have cried, The nightmares we have of the monsters we fear, The dark depictions and deaths of those so dear, Heartpounding terrors and Abandonment of Time, The loss of trust and knowledge of our crimes, Nothing will ever be easy, In this place of discord, This life of regret, But all we need is friends, lovers, A way to feel safe and push on.
