Second attempt at poetry. Yeah, this too is a few years old.
I'm crying my eyes out,
and no one seems to care.
I'm screaming my head off,
and no one seems to hear.
My sheltered cries drowned,
In a sea of thoughtfulness.
Nothing to save this poor soul,
For all there is is worthlessness.
If I tried to save myself,
I'd only be shouted down.
My only solace being,
That this noose is my crown.
What if I died,
Would anyone care?
What if you never saw me,
Would you even notice I wasn't there?
What if I crawled to you,
Begging for a helping hand?
Would you ignore me?
Would you plaster yourself where you stand?
And if you saw the pain in my eyes,
And saw the helplessness,
Would you simply walk away,
Leaving me in the distress?
What if you knew,
You could save me?
Would you even dare to think it,
If you, the one so blind, were the one to see - me?
And if you saw the tears
That are staining my cheeks,
Would you be willing
To help me, you, the one I so seek?
Now that the blade is running,
Now that my flesh is gone.
Would you still rescue me,
Even if what I did was wrong?
If my dreams had been
Shattered to pieces.
And if my hope had
Dissipated till nothing was there?
What if I called to you,
What if I needed you?
Would you let me die,
Would you save me, would you.. ?

Very first attempt at poetry. It's a few years old.
Shadows within me felt,
Wonder around me held.
To the sky, written no more,
Just awaiting to knock upon Death's door.
flanking my ever-held ambition to see,
Fear took hold, grasping me.
I found myself in another place,
Never did I recognize a face.
Breath caught in my throat,
While curiosity became my overcoat.
Not longer did I begin to wander,
Cautiousness held close in armor.
Seeking my new found land,
I got more than I had planned.
A shrieking arose from the night,
I found that I was frozen from fright.
Quivering like a new born dog,
I waited patiently, searching the fog.
And just when I relaxed, it lurched forth,
Sanity thrown from my mind henceforth.
Giving out a mournful cry,
I thought I would surely die.
Saliva dripping from it's mouth agape,
I knew there was no escape.
Its eyes red with hunger,
Thought I thought this had taken my number.
I was done for, surely so,
Until I realized I had a bow.
There was a certain miss,
As my arms became aware of this.
Steady and true, I aimed the shot,
To fire into those orbs so hot.
I froze once more out of curiosity,
For I still held no animosity.
I stared it down, my gaze full of fire,
It stared back, with the same desire.
When I moved, as did it,
As though it were my own sick puppet.
My weapon drawn, poised to strike,
I found I had not the will to fight.
I dropped my arms to my side,
And tossed this shame aside.
I crept to the monster, quiet as can be,
It did the same, heaving as it neared me.
When I lifted my solemn hand,
As did it, exactly as I stand.
I could not deny my wonder,
Nor defy my fear asunder.
Reaching out to touch that creature,
Only caused more terror to conjure.
As I did, so did it, matching my frail movement,
None of which was on my mind an improvement.
I found myself staring at my sinister half,
Still fearful, it could not help but laugh.
This was a terrible sound,
As agony was what my soul had found.
Realizing I was this monster,
My future only grew bleaker.
Suddenly it all went black,
This vision of truth fading back.
I awoke with a start,
Confusion still gripping my heart.
Sitting up, I did not find
It ever existed outside my mind.
My baneful ways made all too clear,
I came upon no fear.
I would find my truth and make it so,
Nurturing it and making it grow.
With this to me revealed,
My soul, my self could be healed.

You grab at his shirt as he walks through the door.
You knew he would leave but you still ask for more.
Don't know what to tell you..
He just had to leave.
I'll hold you if you can't sleep,
Elisabeth, Elisabeth
Confront me with your pain and show me your scars.
I'll try to protect you, keep you from harm.
I know what to tell you,
I'll always be here.
I'll listen to you my dear,
Elisabeth, Elisabeth
You don't know how to break it down to words;
You just can't hurt yourself to make it worse,
Elisabeth you just don't know how to deal..
I'll try to help you make these wounds heal.
A few months have gone by, you move on with life.
You're tempted to give in, but still you will fight.
I know what to tell you,
I know you're alright.
I won't let you lose your light,
Elisabeth, Elisabeth
Elisabeth you've got so much left to live,
The world will benefit from what you can give,
I'll help you pick yourself up from each low,
And let the world see just how brightly you glow
Elisabeth....
Leave A Kiss

Every time you leave me here
Alone,
Every time you say I'm needed,
Yet you won't
Leave a kiss.
It lasts much longer than empty words.
Leave a kiss,
Even though each time it hurts.
Leave a kiss,
Trade your words for my actions.
Leave a kiss,
Trade your wounds for my reactions.
I swear to you
I have much more than good intentions.
These words to you
Can't amount to so much action.
I'll leave a kiss,
So you know it's not this place I'll miss.
I'll leave a kiss,
Because my words couldn't say all this.
And when you're done..
Leave me here; there's nothing left to say.
Leave with the sun,
Leave me here to my disasters,
But leave a kiss
To seal the moments on my lips.
Leave a kiss
To say I'd do it all again..

I'll write these words, I'll fill this page.
The only way to say,
The words I wish your heart could hear.
I'll write you every day.
The words I right will fill my mind
Until there's only you.
The problems that you've faced me with
I don't know what to do.
And I know if you could see me,
You'd calm my every fear
And stay with me.
And I know if you could hear me
I'd know just how you feel,
If you're all right
I can't let go, I can't give in,
You have to be all right..
Your silences are moving in..
You just might lose the fight..
The doctors say it's one last try
To save you from this pain.
But I'm okay, I'll be alright,
If just for one more night
And I know when you can see me,
You'll calm my every fear
And stay with me.
And I know when you can hear me,
I'll know just how you feel,
That you're alright.
The letters that I wrote you, Love
They aren't important now.
I leave them as my final words..
I'm coming to you now

I'll be revising this one. Should see why as you read. u_u
Take all the times,
The good and the bad,
And staple them to the wall.
Watch me laugh,
Watch me live,
So you can staple it to the wall.
Watch me sin,
Watch me cry,
Watch me choke,
Watch me die.
Watch me swear,
Watch me hate,
Watch me Love,
Watch me be great.
And take all of it and staple it to the wall.
Watch me bow,
Watch me beg,
Say it again,
Those things you said.
Say them again so I can staple them to the wall.
Watch me shuffle,
Watch me dance,
And my feelings,
Still enhance.
Watch me struggle,
Watch me crawl,
Watch me give up,
Once and for all.
And take that shit and staple it on the wall.
So lets take a picture,
Of us both,
Take a picture,
Of a ghost.
Take the print,
Staple it high on the wall,
Use a staple,
So it wont fall
And I'll look at it,
Every single day,
Things come back,
In a good way.
Staple it on the wall,
Watch me behave,
Watch me shower,
Watch me shave.
Watch me scrub,
Until it hurts.
Just to make
Sure that it works.
Watch me crumble,
Watch me fall,
From the staples,
On the wall.
Hang me up again,
I know you will,
And I'll sit,
Perfectly still.
Drive that staple,
Into that fucking wall.
Heart Strings

You've always said
My stories
Tug
On your "heartstrings" but,
I've always pictured,
An accordion in
Your chest, the way it
Expands and
Folds when your words
Float haphazardly, the way
I am hypnotized,
A capuchin monkey
In your street performance,
And as I swing, bereft
Of rhythm, to the pulse you
Bang out in c minor, you
Smile regardless
And clutch me
Back to your chest.
A Secret

I'm not so perfect, did you know?
Do you remember every word that you wrote
“You're perfect and lovely" and you couldn't see
Then you saw I wasn't perfect and perfect wasn't me
Old scars line my arms and legs
Thoughts of you replaced with thoughts of death
Lyrics sprawled out on the floor
I've sunk so low, even music can't help me anymore
And I’ve kept all your poems, cds and notes
I've got the disease but no antidote
I'm lovesick, lost and wishing away
Wishing for you for the best part of my day
I'm trying hard to be thin, so hard to be pretty
To be something better, something that isn't me
“It takes time, it'll pass. Don't worry these feelings won't last"
But I’m mesmerized, captured in the past
Can you find my heart? Is it still by your side
I'm lost and I need my heart, my guide
They say follow your heart when the going gets rough
What if your heart's gone? And just you isn't enough
You can stare out the window
Stare through the haze
But there's nothing you can see
Weeks become days
Time grows longer, you struggle to breathe
Is this what you wanted to see?
Is the vision all wrong, am I imperfect still?
Because if you need me to change, just know I will
But I’m falling to pieces so I hold myself tight
The nights filled with creatures and I’m not alright
You laugh and you smile, you just don't see
What loving you has done to me
It's been quite a while and I’m yet to heal
Although I’m forgetting how it feels
To not be a slave of cupid, a slave of love
How it feels to be free. To be enough
How it feels to breathe and not choke on air
I'm stripped down to nothing, my soul lying bare
And the winds whip away all that's left
It pushes me over, leaving me there
Thin and cut to fragile remains
Reaching out to grasp the falling breeze
My expression pained, hair a mess
I've got a secret I want to confess.
The Floor

I slept on the floor last night,
Couldn't sleep through the storm though.
Found solace only in five-minute dreams that,
Bottomed out like the rain gutter-balling down our windows.
Lightning wrenching its way,
Through my eyelids.
Thunder echoed by my joints,
Crunching with every toss and turn on the carpet.
Every house-shaking-wake-up call like a reminder that,
I am not happy.
-Sigh.- u_u
Love Lost In War

Memories keep me company,
In the time of your absence,
I await your return,
Come home to me.
The last touch from you,
Keeps me dreaming,
I await your return,
Come home to me.
Time may pass,
But I will stand strong,
I await your return,
Come home to me.
Words long spoken,
Keep my faith soaring,
I await your return,
Come home to me.
Hope is now dead,
In the ones that love you,
But I await your return,
Come home to me.
I closed my eyes,
Unwilling to believe,
I stood waiting for you,
You came home to me.
The peace on your face,
The calm I could see,
I knelt beside you,
And gave you a kiss.
Hope long gone,
Words all forgotten,
Your touch; a dream,
The memories; my company.
My love you've returned,
Silent and asleep,
Await my arrival,
I'll come home to you.
A Seasonal Happiness

In this cold,
My breathe rolls out
In small circles
Like a failed promise
Ring,
But you always
Read my lips,
And I could feel it in
My fingertips,
Because
While my whispers just
Toyed with my own lips like
A six-year-old chimney sweep in
The hazards of London,
They’d elicit startled gasps of
Child-like tension, with
The choke of cold air that
Wraps around it.
My vocal chords played
Like a harmonica,
Out of tune and
Dusty, with unfamiliar fingers
And a lack of breath,
But you still heard
The music
Above my loud shivers,
Snapped your fingers like a heartbeat,
Tousled your hair
And made an angel
In the sky with a
Warm waving motion that
Expressed,
To me
The simplicity of
Keeping warm
In a cold summer.
And I was trapped by this feeling--
This wondrous lack of
Clear thought, when
All my breath comes out in fog, like a
Slow
Deep
California burn,
When I spend all my time
Recycling metaphors,
Abusing similes,
And looking up words
In the dictionary like
Irony, release,
Exile,
Godsend.
It is November
Now, and I am baking
Inside my clothes
When I see you
Now, with your
Hair still tousled
The way it should
Always be, your smile
Like cracking a window open
(the way that summer
Was supposed to be) and
My lips don’t quiver in the cold
For the first time
When I realize what’s
Been here
The whole time.
I do hope this one particular poem is enjoyed by all.
Mummy's Scarecrow

Mummy's got a scarecrow,
Hair made of straw.
Mummy's little secret,
Isn't pretty anymore.
Her mouth is sewn shut,
She comes out after dark.
She's living in the attic,
Mummy left her mark.
The crows all fly away,
Too scared to return,
They all flew away,
Will mummy ever learn?
Mummy's little experiment,
Just wants to belong.
Mummy calls her 'monster',
And she isn't wrong.
It takes one to create one.
Mummy can't you see?
That your little monster,
Is a reflection of thee.
Mummy screams at her monster,
Beats all the beauty away,
Because the monster used to be prettier,
Than mummy is today.
Our little scarecrow,
Lays her mutilated head to sleep.
The sun smiles through the cracks.
How long will mummy's secret keep?

The Jack of Spades.
The Jack of trades,
He knows not what he do.
He’ll take your dimes.
So trade the Nines,
And he’ll see you when he’s through.
The Queen of Clubs,
Will breed her cubs.
In more outstanding ways than One.
So clear the halls,
Here come the dolls!
They’ll take you in Twos for fun.
The King of Diamonds.
His name was Thiamond,
He’ll kill you in the dark.
Make fun of his Fives,
He’ll spear you with knives,
And you’ll kiss the fish at 400 ft in the park.
But the Ace of Hearts,
He will play darts,
With consorts with Four and Three.
So Six made the Noose,
Eight hung the goose,
And Seven decided that he should flee.
Ah…
The Jack of Hearts,
He knows his parts!
And allows the Ace his bodies use!
He’s but a slave,
Called slut and knave,
He is everything if not loose.
He takes the pleasure,
He takes the pain,
He’ll take all he can get again.
He’s the Jack of Hearts,
And he knows his parts!
He said, “you can only get pleasure for pain”

Apart in a sea of genius minds,
Unseen pond un-noticed,
Un-defining characteristics all wrapped up in one.
Shunned from a domineering society;
Hypocrites sneering from all sides,
Self-righteous importance blinding their site.
Never bothering to really know,
What the mask conceals behind it;
Imperceptible talent hidden deep within.
Most essential of all surreptitious parts,
Disregarded with no compunction,
The true person within the heart.
A Souls Last Will

The duality of my mind,
Continue their conquest in their last hour.
I no longer wish,
To see a dominating side.
I've made my decision long ago,
To obtain equilibrium.
Friends and family speak to me as I lay here,
But I cannot hear them.
They rest their hands on my shoulders,
But I cannot feel them.
I can only hear my own thoughts.
Only Me, Myself, and I.
Me.
How I wish to see Him again.
How I was wrong to bury Him,
And think that He would have been forgotten.
For years, I have felt that guilt upon me.
Haunting me in my dreams.
Myself.
The only person I hate in this world.
He is the cynical side of my mentality,
Always criticizing my views on life and seeking to destroy my spirit.
My pursuit of Clarity ensued because of him. To eradicate him.
It was he that convinced I to bury Me.
I.
Who am I? The soul?
Yes, is it not I that manifests this passion to write?
Or is this all just a dream? I could be a Wolf.
Dreaming of being that two-legged God.
I don't know anymore... Life is strange.
In this silence, I ponder the meaning of it all.
It was all revolved around the pursuit of Clarity.
I remember a time where He ran beside me.
And a time where we've also fought together.
Then, one day, you ran faster than ever before.
I don't know if it was Your intention, but I followed.
For years I ran after You,
And I still haven't caught up!
I only need one question to be answered.
What happens after death?
All my friends and family... they're deeply saddened.
Is death such a terrible thing?
Not one had smiled.
I don't want to depart with their faces like this.
I am about to be free.
Please smile.
Captain Wolf Larsen!
If there is one person I'd like to meet after this, it is you.
I want to see if you are still exactly the way you were.
Ambitious, ruthless, invincible!
You were truly the biggest bit of the ferment.
I long for a dual with the greatest.
So have a legion of demons ready for me,
For I challenge Lucifer himself!
Do you not feel this, Wolf Larsen?
This desire to both kill you and fight along side you?
This is the immortality of the soul.
Bosh?
We shall see.
The war is beginning to cease,
I know my final moments have come.
So my eyes move to look at every single person here.
My head turns to the right and my cheek lays there upon the pillow,
As I look at just about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Her.
She smiled at me,
The only smile I've seen in what seemed to be centuries.
I knew not who she was;
My angel, lover, or simply a figment of my own imagination,
I knew only that I smiled back,
Just before my muscles relaxed and all faded to black.
Like newly born butterflies sailing in the wind.
I am amongst them now.
Everyone smiled the day I was born.
Birth is beautiful, is it not?
I only ask that my death is as such.
My mates...
Please smile.

You make my heart glow
Cliché, I know,
But I can't shake the blush from my cheeks.
And when you glance at my soul,
My mind glitters to know
That with me you say you're complete.
I'd give you the stars, a bus ride to mars,
More than money can buy.
But you say you're content
With the time that we've spent
Pointing out clouds idling by.
I wish you could see
Yourself through my eyes,
Wish you could feel the
Flutterings you've placed in my chest.
And I wish there was some way
To truly express
The fact that
To me, you are the best.
I would, if I could,
Give you all that I have,
But I know that that's not what you want.
So I'll give you my hand,
And curl up in your arms,
Locking your heart away with mine,
And we'll stay young together
Throw away all our clocks,
And laugh at the shivers of time.
Maybe We'll Find Love

I don't know how well you catch these things.
Always reaching and stretching and grasping
More than anybody else in the world ever will.
But I think that, maybe, there's something more
The reality beneath the surface,
So instead let's study that a bit,
Maybe we'll find love beneath it all.
They tell me I can be rather convoluted, at times.
For reality to seize the heart,
We could offer, mutually, an unrequited comfort
Something more than the eye first catches.
Its tugging at your heartstrings,
Trying to find out just what's there
Although I don't see what's so difficult
To whisk us away into a paradise where
If we really truly wanted to.
As one two souls could be,
But I don't think you want to give in.
When talking about love and affection,
We can always be alone.
So that towards eternity we can go
If only we both could see
Because simply put, I know
She can recognize when unrestricted,
Together, her and I.
The one who offers tranquility to conclude my day, she oft does
Peruse a piece and understand
Smile for me. She's special, I think.

If I let go, will you promise to catch me,
If I fall, promise everything will be alright,
And if I loose everything, you’ll stay by my side
I don’t know what’s going on around me,
It’s too dark to see a thing
I can’t hear anything around me…
I was only sure of just one thing
That’s the fact that I love you
Or was I just loosing my mind?
You said you would stay with me…
But then you left,
And I fell to pieces
Now I don’t know what to do,
To go after you or someone new
I don’t even know what love is…
Anymore…
How can I be falling when I was never on firm ground?
How can I fall to pieces when I was never even whole?
And how can I loose it all if I never had it all
Now I’m sure of just one thing,
I’m sure everything will be alright
I’m sure everyone will be okay
But still promise me…
Promise me everything
And everything WILL be okay
…
I’m starting to see,
See what’s going on around me
And hear everyone yelling
But I know I’ll be okay
As long as you’re here,
Cause together we can do anything
Now I’m finally standing on firm ground,
Even though you’re not around
And everything IS okay
So good-bye and so long,
I can go on without you for now
And I don’t need anyone to promise me anything will be okay
Since I know it will,
Although I could always use a reassurance
But that’s what family and friends are for.
Lullaby For The Fallen Soldier

Hush young soldier don’t you cry
For I am here to give you a lullaby
There’s no need for swords or shields
For there’s no more battles upon the fields
This war has finally come to an end
For victory just came around the bend
Oh hush fallen soldier don’t you die
Could you please just stay alive
Your wounds are severe
But to me your survival is clear
For the time of healing isn’t far
And soon those wounds will just be battle scars
Oh hush little soldier don’t you cry
Oh please just for me, stay alive
Blessed Thursday: only piece of writing I'm overly happy about.

On Thursday
They gave us heaven
On Thursday
They gave us hell
And who here could tell
The difference
Between pain and pleasure
Whether there’s hell on earth
Or heaven ever after
The poet
And the starving artist
They work in league with Lucifer
The tyrants
And the high priests of Jerusalem
Oh, they stand before the lord!
On Thursday
They said what’s holy
On Thursday
They measured sin
But if I were to look within
I might find
That my soul is just asleep
Calmly dreaming of a pasture
Slowly moving amongst sheep
The quiet lamb
And the dreaded tiger
Were both formed
By the same hand
And everything is holy
When there’s eternity in an hour
And infinity in a grain of sand
Some of us pray to Jesus
The miracle and the man
Some of us pray to our Father
And His ever-present plan
Still some of us pray to that
Which lurks there in the darkness
Between our heavy hearts
And our heavy heads
Yet we all still pray in churches
Be they house or be they home
The great house of the lord
(Where millions kneel in reverence)
Or in your tiny bedroom
Thinking on your own
The whole world is a temple
Filled with joy and filled with woe
But all of it is inspiration
If you can dream it
Then it be so
On Thursday
They burned a wicked man
On Thursday
They anointed a king
And if life were but a string
Then why don’t the sheers
Rest in our hands?
If one of us can create so very much
Only to be blown away with the sands
The marriage
Between heaven and hell
Is a ceremony
For the senses
The songs
Of love and hate
They must be molded
Into one!
How could there be no natural religion?
Prophet, I know you said it yourself
Yet in your art you show me your vision
Of a world torn apart
You build your own mythology
And you create a selfless virtue
And you would love us all to agree
That the question is the answer
It’s all in how you see…
I would do this thing for you
I would open up my eyes
But you had holy vision
All I have is your demise
I fear that your religion
Will wither with your death
Like all the prophets before you
The word only hangs upon your breath
Not sure what to title this one =(

In the beginning --
Well, there could've been
Other initial impressions, but, fuck first,
I bet that was the worst day of my life.
...although I really can't remember.
-- I thought they were the highest powers.
There was God, sure:
But He was in Heaven, and
I'd yet to learn about saying goodbye.
Then, it changed --
My dad died when I was ten.
...how?
Cancer, of course,
Growing in him like my early adolescence:
Consuming slowly, torturously. We...
They rejoiced when it receded,
But a standing tree isn't always green;
I never said goodbye.
-- I learned,
The powers were the police,
the planet, and the worms.
I didn't understand them, but I soon would --
My first real girlfriend told me she thought she was pregnant,
And I believed her because she liked the way it felt,
And I wouldn't let her change her diet,
Since she was pretty
Healthy;
I didn't want her to sacrifice that.
We were only happy for a year,
But when she sundered us;
And, too, my heart, it hurt;
Like the memories of my youth,
I didn't want to say goodbye.
-- they, or, rather,
she...
She was the same as me.
So I happened upon an important epiphany --
Well, I didn't reach it by myself,
In fact, it was completely unplanned
Probability, genetics determined
The shape and color of my second cousin's eyes were precisely,
Without a shadow of a doubt, like mine,
Narrow, and dark brown without being black.
I became her namesake, and I felt...
...such a strong tie.
I thought it was weird, it wasn't
The first time I'd taken care of a baby.
Her eyes were always changing, they got so big,
Quick to black-eyed peas, her nickname, and
Quicker to chocolate almonds.
But I knew her true name would remain,
Stay the same, and that...
I won't be the one to say goodbye.
-- I answer only to myself

Wait!
Stop the tape,
I'll give you this moment to escape,
As I sit and look into my empty glass,
And speak of lies and moments passed.
To those enlightened few who stay,
Whose minds enlightened know the way,
I speak to you of the over man,
Who needs no God, no helping hand.
And this is you who has no bounds,
Man never hunted by moral hounds,
Standing for your own true creed,
Never bowing to mankind’s sickened need.
I speak to you yet you do not know,
Of the virtues that you may yet show,
Bound in time by dead mans words,
Not quite trusting what you heard.
Celebrate for Dionysus' creed,
For wine and love are all you need.
Break your slaves shackles and freedom find,
What questions sit on your misted mind.
Now is the time, power be yours,
Find for yourself what society cures,
Its rotten carcass, septic and sore,
Now can you see what you didn't before?

Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?
Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?
Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a'skew
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?
Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these tree's
It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.
It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It's lost along the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.
No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart

If you dropped your face, how far would it fall?
Are you a tall person, or are you small?
Do you stand proud, or do you crawl?
If you shut your mouth, how long would it take?
Do you yell, or consider what is at stake?
Would it open again, or stay shut for the cake?
If you closed your eyes, how would you be?
Do you stare in blank, and complain of how you can’t see?
Would you cry dry, dreaming of visions of the sea?
If you gave your life, who would take it?
Do you fear what would happen, hide yourself from this shit?
Would you face it, lay down your arms and sit?
If you dropped your face, how far would it fall?
If you shut your mouth, how long would it take?
If you closed your eyes, how would you be?
If you gave your life, who would take it?
Face your fall.
Shut your mouth.
Close your eyes.
Give your life.
Just Another Poem:

There's inspiration in his eyes,
he’s writing fiction, writing lies.
An idea blooms, the pencil zooms,
And none know where it flies.
The clock ticks, the rain drips,
And a new idea is formed.
Her body tenses, his mind aches,
her stomach flips, his fingers shake.
A first kiss, a minute's bliss,
is near to wonderful to take.
The clock ticks, the rain drips,
just another moment passes.
Wedding bells, the families cry,
the parties rave, the seeds fly.
Now married life, now husband and wife,
now kiss childhood goodbye.
The clock ticks, and rain drips,
just another day passes.
Another job, another fight,
another wrong, cause no one's right.
The life they chose, was like a rose,
beautiful with thorns to bite.
The clock ticks, the rain drips,
just another week passes
A legal war, a lawyer's game,
a painful divorce, none take the blame.
Till death do us part, was fun at the start,
but cold winds blew out the flame.
The clock ticks, the rain drips,
just another month passes.
Another beer, another man,
another girl, another can.
Now light up a smoke, now life is a joke,
It didn't go quite like the plan.
The clock ticks, the rain drips,
just another year passes.
The grave is marked, the funeral set.
They come, they cry, they leave, they forget.
Life in a flash, leaves two dates and a dash,
that none will recall or regret.
The clock ticks, the rain drips,
just another life passes.
Words and rhymes you've heard before,
poor lines and images galore.
The pencils scratch, but the words don't catch,
they're dumb, they're bland, they're a bore.
The clock ticks, the rain drips,
just another poem is written.
Elements of Life:

Like water,
Be at peace with those around you,
Allowing things to happen as they do,
Sometimes life is simply out of our control,
And what we do is believe in the dreams that carry us through.
Like Earth,
Know your balance that keeps you calm,
Enabling yourself to attain the most out of some,
Don't allow others to tip you over,
For faith in yourself is what will last you forever.
Like Fire,
Be alive with everlasting hope and lots of courage,
Being a strong, determined person who does all despite one's age,
Live each day as though tomorrow will never ever come,
Try all things new and let your mind take it all on.
Like wind,
Fly free of problems that tie you down,
Never letting these things hold you from the clouds,
Let your love and trust of those around you,
Guide you through your troubled times.
Life is beautiful,
Live and enjoy it.

Reddest flowers, whitest snow
Little stories everyone knows
Happy smiles all for show
Snowy nights, crystal flakes
Dancing colors on frozen lakes
Small lies everyone makes
Golden stars, green trees
Under mistletoe with a dirty sleaze
Tiny secrets no one sees
Cold hands, a cold heart
Words thrown like darts
A home begins to break apart
Lucifer's Fall

Whispered words
In a dark, black cavern,
A thousand, thousand voices
Echoes
Of tomorrow.
Drip, drip, drip,
Water falls slowly,
Amassing into a deep pool
Ripples
Of yesterday.
Wings folded over,
Head forever looking upward,
Abaddon guards over the sleeping
Sighs
Of eternity.
While Lucifer weeps
Each tear gathered incontinent,
Poisoned with empty love
Memories
Of lust.

Deep, dark, black eyes
Staring back at me from the mirror.
These are my true colours
The ones we never see
The sad
Depressed
Crying
Me
I want it,
I want it to come out
Show you how
Sad
Depressed
And crying I can be
But then again you wouldn’t like that side of me
The side that you never see
The one I keep hidden away
In a dark, deep closet
Where no one can ever see
Can ever find
The real me
If I was like that all the time
Do you think you would understand?
No. You wouldn’t
Because you couldn’t

it’s the how’s
and the when’s
and the what did you do’s
that brought us to an end.
it’s the simple structure
the calm before the storm
the obsolete mannerisms
that called out the end
of all that was going.
it was the sullen smile
the i miss you
love you
touch me
do’s.
it was the forgotten
forsaken
placed hands and
wilted lillies.
the shock
and the aftermath
the
wish you would

love.
it was the understand-me
please demand-me
want to fuck me
but wouldn’t.
it’s the
don’t deceive me
don’t perceive me
aspect of this mess
that ended all
what we had
and
lost the fight
for empty gaps
and mended nothing
for either of us.

I said don’t do this,
My fingers clenching,
Heart p-p-pounding…
And then the world just came on down,
Pieces of us,
Knew no safe ground.
My career,
and our distance…
Most important to you.
But a wise friend once said,
Why live your career,
Before living your life?
And of course I agree,
Because I feel you…
You are good enough,
better for me.
But you fought and you fight,
And we lose sleep these last few nights.
I don’t know what more,
To fight…well, for.
My eyes are all burning,
I think even my stomach,
It’s churning.
I don’t know the damage,
But the cost of repairs,
Well, that might take some years.
Because you see,
You took a piece of me..
And it’s vital for survival,
But somehow I want you to keep,
That very important piece,
That emotion,
That thought,
My heart, I believe…
Because you meant…
So so much more than you think,
To me.
Poem: Fall

It's autumn now; the sky is white and cloudy
and the leaves are golden and red like fire.
But here I am, as usual, leaning against the door
and trying to hold it closed as I long for the
feeling of the open road.
I keep running from all the sensations that
I used to feel because I can't taste anymore.
And my fingertips seem to pass through
your skin like I'm touching a ghost of
a good thing; a ghost of a human being.
And the cool air of Fall blows the leaves
in slowly drifting circles and tries desperately
to lift me. But it cannot.
October nightmares fill my sleep and keep
me awake through cold and empty nights
with sad rain at my window, beading down
like tears rolling upon a crystalline cheek.
And I try to speak but the mute T.V. drowns my voice
I have no choice
and I try to taste but this liquor is waning,
and I try to lift myself. But I cannot.
