Leaving London

Before the rain

the sun drenched this town

not likely this time of year

wandering around in my royal gown

tasting London beer

meeting folks

disguised as blokes

my castle so high

must flee

if only for awhile.

Forgiveness

What keeps you awake

is your soul

protecting your heartbreak

their spewing of bile

with the mask of a smile

that makes you feel 

completely unreal

try to surrender

your mind to peace

& the flood of anxiety

will cease

forgiveness

will lift that

burden of hate

& give you faith

the power to move on

to trust another soul

to someday bond.
