Just until i get my strengh back,
i will wait beside my shadow
the hungry night waiting for the rain
yet i still remain in that pain
the hollow flowers fill the forest
the streaming stars fill the sky
just until i get my breath back
i will try and breath once again
touches fade but the pain remains
the running tears don't stop
the pounding of my heart won't stop
until i'm OK the petals will fall
The skeleton kid
was the quiet
but not shy
boy who sat in the back
he drew on his desk
and had a creative mind,
But only with permanent markers
or pocket knives
he dyed his hair black
and spiked it up
he had chains for a belt
and a tatoo on his arm
of a human skull
He had a ball of clay,
Just like any other day,
He decided to make it a bet,
Just like the stupid hats,
Then just like any other time,
He shaped it all,
Like a human skull.
Here is one of my favorooite poems by Melvin B. Tolson
He came from a dead-end world of under breed,
A mongrel in his look and in his deed.
His head sagged lower than his spine, his jaws
Spooned wretchedly, hie timid little claws
Were gnarls. A fear lurked in his rheumy eye
When dwarfing pedigrees paraded by.
Often he saw the bulldog, arrogant and grim,
Beside the formidable mastiff; and sight of them
Devouring chunks of meat with juices red
Needled pangs of hunger in his belly and head.
Sometimes he whimpered at the pondous gate
Until the regal growls shook the estate;
Then he would scurry up the avenue,
Singeing the hedges with his buttercup hue.
The spool of luckless days unwound, and jthen
The izzard cur, accurst of dogs and men,
Heard yelps of rage beyond the iron fence
And saw the jaws and claws of violence.
He padded through the gate the leaned ajar,
Maneuvered toward the slashing arcs of war,
Then pounced upon the bone; and winging feet
Bore him into the refuge of the street.
A sphinx haunts every age and every zone:
When great dogs fight, the small dog gets a bone.
As I look,
into the eyes of him,
I'm not afriad,
But as I look into the eyes of you,
I'm afraid of everything.
Where I wrote your name I wrote your name in the clouds but the wind blew it away I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away I wrote your name in my heart and that is where it will stay.
A scar for each one of my feelings one for love, hate, pain, happines, and sadness but most of all for you.
