Poetry

I love to write poetry about the paintings I paint, a lot times the poems come to me as I am painting the pictures, other times they come later after I have finished them.  Either way I always document the poems on the backside of the original paintings if possible, sometimes its not and so I add them on the web somewhere but I figured it was time to gather them all up and put them in one spot for people to see them all.

Sentimentally Deranged Series

Bat Girl

They all think they know her so well

they dont know that 

behind her mask she secretly dwells

hiding all her pain and tears

its not a life 

to have to live in constant fear

but in her mask she feels strong

gives her the power

to feel like she can go on

that and the creatures of the night

they make her feel 

like she can win any fight

so forever in disguise she'll stay

forever being the Bat Girl

to this very day!

~ Lizzy Love

Sentimentally Deranged Series

Black Star

Darkness falls and shadows fade

your words pierce through me 

like the sharpest blade

the stars turn black as the light goes out

there is no more reason

to scream and shout

In my pain I call out for you

as the darkness surrounds me

I know that you feel it too

~ Lizzy Love

Sentimentally Deranged Series

Pinky

She plays the princess with her pink hair

the perfect life, no reason to care

but they don't know the pain she hides

all the heart ache she feels deep inside

the hurt and tears they all get locked away

the keys been thrown out so forever buried they'll stay

she'll put on a smile just as she's been shown

forever the "perfect" princess, sad and alone

~ Lizzy Love

Black Beauty

She's sewn back together

completely up tight

emotions trapped inside her

deep and out of sight

She put a pad lock on 

and threw away the key

her feelings are all gone

can't you see

She's so full of fear

expectations are running high

such a poor little dear

so afraid she might die

~ Lizzy Love

Blue Zombie

She's so blue

better then green

still staying true

to the zombie queen

Big blue eyes

black n white stripes

still alive when she dies

but not that ripe

She's awfully pretty

for being undead

the baddest in the city

you heard what I said

~Lizzy Love

Bulls Eye

Looking for love

in all the wrong places

like the white dove

in all the wrong spaces

then comes loves arrow

shot through the heart

like the poor little sparrow

shot with the dart

it happened at dawn

the bulls eye was hit

white became the black swan

and they knew that this was it

~ Lizzy Love

Bunny Girl

She loves her bunny so much

she wanted to look just the same

and feel just as soft to touch

as the bunny that had no name

Sonny or Buddy wouldn't do

they just sounded too funny

so when they asked her who

she would just say her pet bunny

~ Lizzy Love

Cheer

He stands and waits

he watches the clock

time ticks by tick tock tick tock

here it is a brand new year

he celebrates the loudest cheer!

Damsel In Gold

Eyes behold

can't you see

this damsel in gold

staring at me

I try to run

and try to hide

she has me stunned

like I've died

so captivated 

by her brown eyes

never jaded

its my demise

~ Lizzy Love

Day Dreams

All alone she sits

in the afternoon sun

day dreams fill her mind

of all that shes done

A life so fulfilled

every wish has come true

what more can she want

what more can she do

In her day dreams

she's the girl with it all

wishing it were reality

its a wish that's so tall

~ Lizzy Love

Let Them Eat Cake

Never a girl 

so pretty as she

hair in pink curls

& a bunny called Dee

So happy together

always best friends

no matter the weather

they'd play til the end

A sweet tooth she had

whipped, frosted & candy coated

it all made her glad

& sometimes even bloated

It happened one Sunday

in the morning she'd wake

they'd all hear her say

"Let them eat cake!"

~Lizzy Love

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet

didn't sit on a tuffet

nor did she have any curds n whey

What she did have instead

is her pet spider Ted

and they just sat and chilled by his web all day

~ Lizzy Love

My Pet Monster

My pet monster

best friend I ever had

through all the good times

and even all the bad

we walk the streets together

some people gawk and stare

when you moan "hi" to them

it gives them quite the scare

I don't mind when you drool

and your eyes rolls in your head

your still totally cool 

and always welcome in my bed

and when your limbs and tail

fall off and need repair

I can stitch them on again

I will always be right there

~ Lizzy Love

Perch To Land

The birds fly free

always a perch to land

the wind blows the tree

making it hard to stand

The heart starts to crack

so alone for so long

can they stop the attack

with their beautiful song

The skies so gray

making it hard to bare

such a gloomy day

lost in a distant stare

~ Lizzy Love

Raver Zombie

Shes the party girl

til the very end

lights and music 

just around the bend

She'll sweat and dance

the whole night away

taking a chance 

on a bump of K

The laser lights

amazing sounds

all these sights

lift her off the ground

Party all night

at the undead Rave

when morning comes

she'll dig her grave

~ Lizzy Love

Sing Me A Song

Nothing she enjoys more

then the music to her ears

always behind closed doors

all throughout the years

In the shower she sings

all alone is when she tries

never hitting the notes stings

so she just cries and cries

She hears the pretty bird sing

as she longs to carry a tune

hearing those notes ring

will it be her turn soon?

~ Lizzy Love

Sugar Spun Zombie

Spun with sugar all sweet & nice

charmed by her beauty but spooked by her spice

moans and groans so full of pain

fall for her & she'll only love you for your brain!

~ Lizzy Love

Tale Of A Dark Princess

Surrounded by darkness 

encompassed with fear

paralyzed with fright

for what might be near

Fantasies consume her

every forbidden thought

for her that's the appeal

she might just get caught

She's the dark princess

all dressed in pink

with the darkest of dreams

anyone could think

~ Lizzy Love

The Watcher

In the warm summertime heat
sits the beautiful owl isn't she sweet

perched  up in the tree she sees and hears all

just out of sight these old trees are quite tall

a splish and a splash she sees the kids all swimming

chirp chirpidy chirp she hears the birds all singing

she's the watcher and guardian of all I've heard

there's nobody else quite like that wise old bird!

~ Lizzy Love

Where'd I Go

He said not to worry

he said not to cry

he'd be back in a hurry

didn't even need to try

That magician just left

that magic trick of his

this is body theft

I know that it is

So I wait in this hat

so scared and alone

to have my body back

then I can go home

~ Lizzy Love

Zombie Ballet

Ever so gracefully 

she dances all around

across the floor

up and down

as she performs

the Zombie Ballet

ever so beautifully

on this special day!

~ Lizzy Love

Zombie Kittie

My Zombie Kittie is so cool

even though she moans and drools

she's always there if I feel sad

to cheer me up by being bad

we always have the very most fun

even when we get chased by guns

there's always room in my cozy bed

for my Zombie Kitty even if she's undead

~ Lizzy Love
