| Night by Kat Monroe Laying in silence at the edge of my bed The coldness swiftly creeps in Listening to the whispers around Shadowy misty darkness that follow along In the bottomless night. A wisp of cool air on my cheek As I sleep, trying to be still A luminous shape lurking in the hall Watching from beyond. Soft spoken voices of numbers and names Feeling too tired for these nightly games. Leave me alone… now Darkness spills over the window moonlight Covering wall to floor Sometimes these visiting “friends of mine” Are too much to ignore. Slyly the cat, she pounces too and fro Trying to seize the twinkles only her and I well Know Mirror reflections of beings of the past Only glances can I cast At what is hidden in here. Bitter murky patter on my hand Through the night Now is not the time to play Soft spoken numbers and cold eerie names Much too tired for all these nightly games. |
| Fade... Kat Monroe 8-08 When that shining bright light turns from blue to grey Is it time for me to stray Or do I wait... And have faith That all will be secure again… |

The Hollow.... 10-08 Kat Monroe The hollow inside can be dark dingy damp... The hollow inside will fill with stars and lights and sparks The hollow will burn with the heat of a flame lit by one who "knows not what he do..." The hollow inside... Will fill until the darkness is gone... |
| Tonight.. Kat Monroe 10-08 I alter everything I cannot alter my mind... My mind has a mind of it's own Wandering like small child to places forbidden dark not allowed It goes and drifts is defiant and devious... I can alter everything I cannot alter the thoughts that creep and seep to the never land... The thoughts that run and try to hide... But can't and wont.. I can alter everything... |
| Spackle... Kat Monroe 1-02 I spackled over the spots today The spots where all of the anger lay I filled them in and covered them up If I hide them will they go away or will they stay? Hidden under a tainted grey showing their cracks sinking their holes Taunting me... Of so many past woes. I have spackled over the holes today Covered them up are they here to stay? It's hard to say The spots of hate the spots of rage If I fill them up will go away or stay in a glare? Waiting and wanting to open up and show the old way How long will it hold before old crack show again... Raising the Spackle under which they lay & the holes sink in to show their ugly spots that once sucked me in.... |
| Room... Kat Monroe 7-03 I love to dance around my room at night I love to play in the bright moonlight I hold out my arms I sit on my bed I open my eyes and dream I wander through fields I run about in strangers rooms I dance at balls in a fancy dress... I let go of all the days stress My eyes are open & full of life The colors are sharper than a knife I fly jump I spin I scream Why is this all a dream for me it's not It is my soul... Speaking ... |
| Steady... 11-08 Kat Monroe Just when you think That you are steady on your feet The world turns And drops you Upside down Thinking that you will never be steady again.... |
