 Sadness
by Kris Anderson

I saw Sadness enter the room
She was slender and tall
She turned and frowned at me,
with tears glimmering in her eyes


I saw her pale face,
as her blue eyes dug
into my heart
And I felt sad as well.


For the world in her blue eyes
scream sadness within my heart

 Love
by Kris Anderson


I saw love float into the room
She was glowing
as if glitter was flying around her body
She turned and smiled at me,
just beyond the door.


I looked deep into her eyes
and saw overall purity
And heard her sweet, calm, voice
sink into my ear and into my heart
I felt so out of control,
not sure what to do next
