  Angel Kissed Innocence

  

  By SkeletonHeartbeat, Minneapolis, MN

  Everyone has it. It's a natural 'instinct' that we've had since we were born. Love. We're born with that delicate innocence, no knowledge of all the hate in this world. We're a clean slate. A clean soul. All we know is love and happiness...except for the occasional unha...

  Prank Call

  

  By SkeletonHeartbeat, Minneapolis, MN

  I know of a boy; Wasn't mature at all He'd play a game consisting of phone calls Ring random numbers; And tell silly stories Before hanging up quickly; And laughing so coyly...

  A spirit so high, a presence so great I only with to be in his grace With wings of white and shining gold My heart's desire cannot be known For his wings are white with shining gold --And Mine are black and only torn I am low and he is high I can never call him mine... Since I am low ...

  A Fire's Rain

  

  By SkeletonHeartbeat, Minneapolis, MN

  He looks with eyes as dull as ash Broken heart and head filled hands Crumbling hearts like crumbling land Crumbling hard like broken man Good times, moment, memories gone Into the mixture of hate filled smog The place that was filled with so much love All in the soot filled air above S...
