Welcome and a Poem

Hello and welcome to my blog!  I will be using this blog to post some of the poems and stories that I have written.  I will also include items that I find funny, interesting, or just plain like.  Sometimes I will post my rambling thoughts as well.  The main purpose of my blog is for me to write, write, and write some more.  I hope you enjoy it and keep coming back to see my updates, whenever they may be.


Winter's Breath
by: Mercedes Tyre
 
It's cold out here, in this sad lonely place,
Where rivers are frozen from winter's breath.
I shelter myself from her cruel embrace;
She appears bearing no gifts, only death.
 
The dark of night makes me afraid to feel,
As cold winds blowing cause a biting chill.
This harsh reality doesn't seem real;
And I fear it will be a bitter pill.
 
I don't want to swallow this painful truth;
With its ability to crush my heart,
And strip the innocence from but a youth.
I am not ready for you to depart.
 
And now to think you've left this earthly place;
No more will I lay eyes upon your face.
