Entrapment

2010-09-05T20:32:00.000-07:00

Hopelessly bound
unfettered
by the chains of love's grip
- greatest gift,
fate's cruelest curse.

Wherefore do I weep
at knowing the joy,
the warmth,
at feeling the peace,
the fire.

Wherefore do I weep
unable to complete ,
to be,
unknown the kiss,
the flames.

Wherefore do I weep
at loving not living
seeing not touching
breathing not sharing
holding not loving?

All,
because I, The Fool,
am no more?

The Lie

2010-09-05T20:28:00.000-07:00

Woke up this morning
Trying hard to hide my melancholy
I joined you for breakfast
And we continued our lie

Every day it is similar
You are cheery
And so am I
Our terrible lie

Can you imagine a time
When we awoke and did not speak
Realizing our moods would cause tension
Tension caused by too little life?

I do wish sometimes
As I leave for work sullenly
Dreading the day already
Weeping far within

The lie, terrible and unending
Would cease to be
And I would know the real you
And you the real me

But, the lie drags on for now
For it is not written in the stars
And perhaps it will never be
I am my own companion

The dreaded truth
Gathered in a lifetime
Sentenced for an eternity
Realized too late

When Is It Time?

2010-09-05T20:27:00.000-07:00

When is it time to say goodbye,
To all the love I've known,
When is it time to end your pain,
And leave me all alone?

I've watched you on your good days when
I feel your strength renewed;
But shortly after little ups,
The down days then ensue.

We ride this roller-coaster of
Emotions as we try,
To make it through another day,
And yet, I can't deny ...

That as I look into your face
On days that have been bad,
I see a look that beckons me
It's tired, and hurt, and sad.

The little spark I used to see
Behind those loving eyes,
Is growing ever clouded
By life's cruel inhumane side.

I try to see beyond the pain
You feel with every step;
And softly whisper to myself
This may get better yet.

If I can bear to watch you
Just another day or two;
I justify my reasons to
Ensure I cling to you.

For letting go is harder for
The person left behind;
It means that if I let you go,
I cannot turn back time.

Back to the days I long for now,
When you were full of life;
And every day held promise,
And our futures, clear and bright.

But now the lights are darkening ...
We take it daily now;
I cannot see our futures clear
Or think beyond this cloud.

I think the hardest part in this
Is never knowing why,
I have to be courageous
And I have to say goodbye.

For if I let myself admit
It's time to let you go;
I'd have to face reality
Without you ... but I know ...

That soon I have to face the
Final outcome that I dread,
And holding on will only serve
To hurt you in the end.

You've given such unselfish love
For all our time in life,
But if I hold too tightly,
You'll not move t'ward the light ...

On to a better life, where you
Can once again be free,
Of all the pain and discomfort
That holds you here to me.

So if I find the courage just to say
This last farewell,
I hope you will forgive me for
The time it took me; still ...

I'll hold with me, the memories
That in my heart remain,
Pray one day, down the road a'ways
... They'll lesson my own pain.

Ramadan is Here!

2010-08-10T02:48:00.000-07:00

One night I heard a knock on my door;
Who can it be,I wasn't quite sure.
I open the door and am filled with glee;
The visitor ahead is no stranger to me.

I welcome the guest with utmost delight;
For I know it has come to give me respite.
An air of happiness fills the space;
My home now seems, a better place!

Have you any clue who this visitor could be?
Yes!its Ramadhan,the month of mercy.
The pious and righteous can't await its arrival;
Others seem to greet it, with waves of denial.

For Allah(SWT) we fast from dawn to dusk;
For Him our breath is the fragrance of musk.
The muslims who pray and fast with zest;
Are aware of the rewards of this month manifest.

Throughout this month we weep and repent;
Now is the time to strongly lament.
And those who shun this sacred month;
on the Day of Reckoning will face the brunt.

In the last ten nights,hides the Night of Decree;
Allah(SWT) then awaits for his slaves to plea.
The angels descend with Gabriel(AS) in the lead;
To check on the steadfast and record every deed.

A feeling of grief now fills my heart;
As the month of Ramadhan will soon depart.
So lets make a start and worship Him alone;
Now that the worth of this month is known.

God and Heaven

2010-08-02T00:31:00.000-07:00

Thunder fills the air
Lightning hits the sky
Pummeling down onto a tree
Flashes of red and orange appear between the winds

Rain starts to fall
Harder
And Harder
Dripping drops drip down the window
Streaking bright red and orange inside the drops

Screeching reaches my ears
Headaches starts to seep through my brain
In the midst of my staring at the rain-drops
Tears start to run all along my face
More and more pour down me

Soaking in my tears,
My hands start to shake
Wishing this was a dream
And soon, that I'd wake

But I knew,
I knew I was goner

Feeling the hate that god gave to me,
I let my hands feel the pain
That was given to me

Shock ran down my arm
Desperation ran through my mind,
Desperation to be able to be pain-free,
Desperation that I could be able to ask for forgiveness
But I knew it was too late
And I knew that I was not going to be part of Heaven

Sad I thought,
To have thought this would not happen to me

So I did what I thought was going to win this forgiveness
I kneeled down
And Prayed to god to forgive me

I whispered it,
I voiced it,
I yelled it,
I screamed it,

Silence filled the air
Devils swarmed my surroundings
The house I was just in,
Vanished

Thousands,
Millions,
Billions of devils surrounded me

Light poured over them
The pain I had was instantly gone

I checked to see if my arms were gone
Or to see if I was surrounded by fire
To see if devils still swarmed around me

But nothing of that type caught my eye

Instead, I glimpsed light in the distance
Light so scintillating, that it didn't even hurt my eyes

Running towards the light, I caught sight of a horse,
Just standing there, staring at me,
It already had a saddle on it
Walking past it, it began to follow me

I stopped, dead, in the middle of the road
Trying to wake
But when I found out I couldn't,
I started to go hell-bent for leather

Glancing back, the horse was right beside me,
I knew I couldn't get away from it
So I stopped, and stared as it got closer

It bent its head in front of me
Indicating that I should get on

So I did, and it ran on and on through the tunnels,
Across the bridges,
Passing angels sitting inside their rich-like houses.

Then it came,
Streaking through the light,
Glimpses of angels hit my eyes

Starting to pick up speed,
I began to feel myself start to lift off the ground,
I noticed wings on my horse,
And instantly knew,
It was a pegasus.

Gardens floating in the air,
Angels soaring around,
I came to a wise, and heart-warming man,
Instantly, I knew who it was,
It was the person who I prayed forgiveness too.

He forgave me forever and told me I had full access to heaven.

And there I knew,
That murdering 160,000 people,
Was bad.

Something about me

2010-08-02T00:15:00.000-07:00

I will tell you about me like this:
I will never be tall,
I will never be small,
I will never be a man,
I will never be a football fan.
I would certainly like to have coffee in bed,
but it looks so sad,
as I’ll have to get up,
without any make up,
then … to dress, then to undress.
I will never jump as high as 2 meters,
because…I won’t be able to run up.
May be I could run up but…
I won’t be able to come off the ground
and everyone will laugh around.
I will never get a Nobel Premium
I will not live a millenium.
I will never sing at the Opera House,
I will not live in Laos
and a young guy will not tell me:
I love you and miss.
But now, I know quite well,
there is something I have to tell
to my grandson, to my dearest one.
I have passed through all.
Now you are tall.
You have to understand,
it’s not so easy to live on this Land.
You are free to chose,
but I don’t want you to lose.
I haven’t become this or that
but I never regret of the passed days.
I will give you nothing
but my life experience.
and without any interference into your life
I would like to say:
Have patience!
Have enough valiance!
Never think about vengeance!
Give to older ones reverence!
Live your life with prudence!

Larisa R (Odessa, Ukraine)

the true king

2010-08-02T00:14:00.000-07:00

yes
sit there and foolishly smile
while my smile is bigger
for your time is almost over
and me, the 2nd in command
will seize the throne
you may be at the prime of your life
but do you feel it?
the poison flowing through your viens
along with my treachery
adding even more insult to injury
and forget my oath to help you
if you neglect your oath to listen to my words
so keep smiling
cause soon the crown and power will go to the poet
the advisor
the philosopher
the true king

You Thought Wrong

2010-08-02T00:11:00.000-07:00

Now that you are out of my life,
I'm so much better,
You thought that I'd be weak without ya,
But I'm stronger,
You thought that I'd be broke without ya,
But I'm richer,
You thought that I'd be sad without ya,
I laugh harder,
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,
Now I'm wiser,
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,
But I'm smarter,
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,
But I'm chilling,
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,
Sold nine million.

Thought I couldn't breathe without you,
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you,
Perfect vision,
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
But I'm lasting
You thought that I would die without ya,
But I'm living
Thought that I would fail without ya,
But I'm on top,
Though it would be over by now,
But it won't stop,
You thought that I would self-destruct,
But I'm still here,
Even in my years to come,
I'm still gonna be here.

Cup Of Life

2010-08-02T00:09:00.000-07:00

Tea, coffee
But never me

Sip from the cup of love
Sip from the cup of desire
Sip from the cup of life
For this is what you aspire

To drink till your heart’s content
To gain happiness throughout
But this is what the problem is
As I regrettably have my doubts

For you want it all and want it now
But give nothing in return
So this my friend, hopefully
Should be a lesson well learned

To give, you will receive much
As that cup is always there
But you constantly give nothing
So you will always be in despair

Forgiveness

2010-07-30T06:32:00.000-07:00

Sometimes we break our promise and forget, and we must feel really sorry for that, and sometimes we quarrel like cat and dog, it's often ,we make our friends angry or sad

So..before it's to late, before our death, let's say our sorry, let our heart be glad

I know i'm just no body, i'm just an ordinary person, i sometimes talk rubbish and silly, i also make mistakes, just like any body

I usually mock some of you, i do, trully...i might leave hatred in your heart so many, and often makes your heart unchilly

I'm really sorry, this ain't no fantasy, i beg for your forgiveness, this is reality. So forgive me, let my mistake be free

That's it, i just want to say my sorry, i really hope that you will forgive me. I know my friends are kind. or at least that's what supposed to be

So remove hatred from your mind, and let love come to your heart.. quickly , to get closer to heaven's line, your forgiveness is one of the key......

Dream Variations

2010-03-24T06:30:00.000-07:00

To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!

To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
A tall, slim tree...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.

Langston Hughes

Life

2010-03-24T06:29:00.000-07:00

Life doesn't always turn out the way you want
no white picket fence, no handsome prince
there seems more lows then there are highs
you wonder if its all worthwhile

The courage to face another day is hard to find sometimes
that smiling face to hide behind is starting to show the pain
but no one does notice, least no one you know
you suffer in silence with no one to hear your screams
the constant warning signs that your not happy here
you try to reach out but it falls on deaf ears
you try each day to hold back the tears

Some days are good, but most are bad
with no one to talk to it sends you mad
your inner most thoughts and expressions are bound
the key to your heart is yet to be found
Their love gets further and further away
people start to care less and less each day

You try your best yet it seems to be your worst
nothing is ever good enough, not unless you come first
lifes mountains are big and steep to climb
Is life really worth it... Not all of the time.

Im Sorry

2010-03-24T06:25:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry if ive hurt you
or if I've made you cry
I'm sorry if you heard the truth
or if you heard the lie

I'm sorry if i took too long to call
or if I called too soon
I'm sorry if my reply took too long
or if i decided too soon

I'm sorry for all that i have done
or for all that i did not do
I'm sorry for all that was said
or for all that i did not say
But most of all I'm sorry that i let you walk away

I hope you will forgive me so we can put it all in the past
I hope that we can start over, there's no need to go fast
I hope we can start as friends and laugh and be together
But most of all I just wish that you would answer my call.

All will Die

2010-03-24T06:04:00.000-07:00

all will die,
in a way,
that is deadly,
we can be raped,
and murded,
we can be,
shot,
stabbed,
poisoned,
stanngle,
and killed
so till then
live it up.

Chiding

2010-03-24T06:03:00.000-07:00

Reproach will seldom mend the young,
If they are left to need it;
The breath of love must stir the tongue,
If you would have them heed it.

How oft we see a child caressed
For little faults and failings,
Which should have been at first suppressed
To save the after railings!

If, when the heart would go astray,
You would the passion smother,
You must not tear the charm away,
But substitute another.

Thus it is pleasant to be led,
If he who leads will measure
The heart's affection by the head,
And make pursuit a pleasure.

David Bates

Fire and Ice

2010-03-06T05:42:00.000-08:00

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Robert Frost

Let go

2010-03-06T05:33:00.000-08:00

When expectations go ahead of reality,
when meeting gives more pain than waiting
when affection becomes a formality
It is time to let go...

when the pile of questions keep building
when unfulfilled desires stare you right in the face
when you cannot continue the backward bending
It is time to let go...

when loneliness soothes better than togetherness
when togetherness does not mean happiness
when happiness cannot erase the emptiness
It is time to let go...

Let go and make room for the new
remember life's moments are few
clutch not to the old for fear of change
Move on, says existence, dont miss the cue.

Rekha Radhakrishnan

He Broke your Heart

2010-03-06T05:29:00.000-08:00

When darkness fades all around
you cant help but to make a sound
you yell out loudly happy with joy
because you've finally fallen in love with a boy
It's when the fog comes swooping around
and your yells soon stiffle, no sound
its when you've fallen off the bench
that everything soon becomes tense
its when you fall back into the dark
that you realise
he broke your heart

Rachel Anderson

A petty Argument

2010-03-06T05:22:00.000-08:00

Honey, just once, would you keep your mouth shut?
Why? Your mouth is the source of all our problems
That’s why. Oh, now you’re calling me a nut!
When you’re not calling me names you condemn
Everything I do or say. What’s with you?
Oh! Here come the tears! Turn them off my dear.
They always seem to appear when the two
Of us reach an impasse, crocodile tears!
Look hon, this is a silly argument
Over what I said at the beginning
I had no idea it would augment
Into this sideshow that’s never-ending
I guess I said some awful things untrue
I had no right to say those things to you.

Albert Ahearn

I Carry your Heart with me

2010-03-06T05:19:00.000-08:00

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

A broken heart

2010-03-05T14:56:00.000-08:00

How do you mend a broken heart...
Two years gone was the pain to start...
So long the road has been... Empty and alone
Stand by yourself lonely... Inside a crowded room
The world speeds by... Your whole life a lie
Your dreams of love... and one gental touch as a feather of a dove
All those thoughts will be lost... And with the trash be tossed
Because life will set in... And repeat all your own sin
For the very first time... In your heart there is no chime
No chance for a smile... Frowning all the while
Being a lost cause... Not one will look or pause
You realize you are a man... Without a single leg on which to stand
Forever you be broken... Not one good word spoken
Your heart torn out... No strength left to shout
In a box put your heart and soul... Till the day you can pay the toll
Send them all away... Keep everyone at bay
No room in that heart... To attempt a new start! ! !

Jason Luneau

Sweet

2010-03-05T14:54:00.000-08:00

When will you see
what you do is seen
to me is sweet.

you say I'm sorry
you say I'm sweet
you say I'm sincere

sweet is chocolate
sweet is cherries
sweet is you.

Everything you do
is seen to be true
Angry is anything but you.

The Lesson

2010-03-05T14:51:00.000-08:00

Chaos ruled OK in the classroom
as bravely the teacher walked in
the nooligans ignored him
hid voice was lost in the din

"The theme for today is violence
and homework will be set
I'm going to teach you a lesson
one that you'll never forget"

He picked on a boy who was shouting
and throttled him then and there
then garrotted the girl behind him
(the one with grotty hair)

Then sword in hand he hacked his way
between the chattering rows
"First come, first severed" he declared
"fingers, feet or toes"

He threw the sword at a latecomer
it struck with deadly aim
then pulling out a shotgun
he continued with his game

The first blast cleared the backrow
(where those who skive hang out)
they collapsed like rubber dinghies
when the plug's pulled out

"Please may I leave the room sir?"
a trembling vandal enquired
"Of course you may" said teacher
put the gun to his temple and fired

The Head popped a head round the doorway
to see why a din was being made
nodded understandingly
then tossed in a grenade

And when the ammo was well spent
with blood on every chair
Silence shuffled forward
with its hands up in the air

The teacher surveyed the carnage
the dying and the dead
He waggled a finger severely
"Now let that be a lesson" he said

Loves a gift

2010-02-16T14:39:00.000-08:00

Love is a true gift
Given from above

Love is all around
But it’s the hardest to be found

Though it may be hard to find
When found its an everlasting bind

When possessed if flows through the veins
But when lost all that is felt is pain

Even when love is history
I will always hold onto the memories.

Heros

2010-02-16T14:37:00.000-08:00

In the distance a horn blows in the night and a solder heeds its call

He says good bye to all his loved ones and all hell leave behind

As he walks out the door he looks back once more understanding it might be his last

Then he gets in the truck with several other men all silent and all bowing there head

For each solder is proud but are scared of what they’ll face

But all will fight for it is freedom they chase.

Beautiful day

2010-02-16T14:36:00.000-08:00

After a hectic day of lectures and essays I lay in the grass and stare into the space

Then I slowly dosed off or I think that was the case and woke up in a field with a wooden fence blocking the sun from my face

Bees buzzing around the tree top making a pleasant noise
The sun beaming down and the wind wrestling through the trees

Then I notice leaves dancing in the wind
As I watched them I slowly dosed off again
And woke up to the sound of my dad calling me in

Liera Bloodheart

A new love

2010-02-16T14:34:00.000-08:00

A close friend made this for me. Enjoy!

Love is every where but hard to find
When I lost it my heart untwined

As heard as I looked it could not be found
On silent angel wings it makes not a sound

I wished entirely for my loves embrace
Until today when I looked a new love in the face

A love so sweet with cold black eyes
So bright they can light the darkest sky’s

Every day I see my new love
She flutters by me beautiful, graceful as a dove

With a voice so soft it hooked me like spurs
I don’t know what I would do without the love of hers

Liera Bloodheart

Something Beautiful

2010-02-16T14:32:00.000-08:00

Beauty, have you lost yourself again
In the freezing mud
Can’t you remember anymore
That goodbye is not a farewell for me

Sunshine shines through war and peace
Through tears and a bloody breeze
Don’t expect I coming home this time
Good night everything will be fine

Beauty were is the love in the world
Can’t you remember were you should be
From the bottom to the top
Goodbye plains without spring

Sun shines through war and peace
Through tears and a bloody breeze
Don’t expect I coming home this time
Good night everything will be fine

See you in real this it’s just not me
It’s like to see a town without its name
Without the dirt, without the poisonous cloud over me

Beauty makes grace of painful things
Beauty makes a smile on a barbed face
Beauty destroy the ugly things
Beauty, beauty, beauty were are you now
Beauty, beauty, beauty were are you now
Beauty, beauty, beauty….

Not A Dream Choice

Awesome Beauty

2010-02-16T14:29:00.000-08:00

When the golden sunset
Sets over the amber hills
And when the moon shines bright
And all the world stands still
There is beauty, awesome beauty
God took the dust and formed a man
He paints each sunrise with His hand
He took all the love within His heart
And gave us beauty from the start
There's beauty, awesome beauty
When the storm clouds come
And thunder rolls
When skies are dark
And it hardens the soul
There's beauty, awesome beauty
God took all the love within His heart
And gave us beauty from the start
There's beauty, awesome beauty
Through every age
There is a call
To admire the creation
He gave us all
It is beauty, awesome beauty
See the beauty, hear the call
Enjoy the life He gave us all
God took the love in His heart
And gave us beauty from the start
There's beauty, awesome beauty

True beauty

2010-02-16T14:28:00.000-08:00

True beauty is in the way she laughs
True beauty is in her eyes
True beauty is how she acts
True beauty is inside
True beauty is unseen
True beauty is only felt
True beauty is not mean
True beauty is herself
True beauty can't be cruel
True beauty is bare
True beauty within you
True beauty is always there
True Beauty can't be covered with makeup
True beauty means true love
True beauty can't be baked up
True beauty is the flight of a dove
True beauty has no flaws
For True beauty is all that matters after all

God is beauty

2010-02-16T14:26:00.000-08:00

The beauty of a lady

Spreading love on Internet

The beauty of the first kiss

On the corner of a dark room

The beauty of a crow

Pecking the food into grasses

The beauty of the skins

The beauty of the smile

Of a pretty girl

The beauty of the morning light

The beauty of a queer feeling

Under the shadow of a tree

The beauty of the sparrows

Bathing in the pond

The beauty of the unknowns

The beauty of forgiveness

The beauty of solitude

At a goodbye party

The beauty of a sinking heart

Driving on a steep road

The beauty of a lady

Walking alone

In the park

The beauty of the laughter of a child

The beauty of being loved

The beauty of the pat unexpected

On our shoulder

Saying I am here beside you

The beauty of making love

Early in the morning!

The beauty of the beauty

The beauty of God

The beauty of Jesus

The beauty of Zoroaster

The beauty of Buddha

The beauty of myths

The beauty of goddess

The beauty of you and I!

Framarz Bagheri

You and I forever

2010-02-16T14:24:00.000-08:00

As the days, nights, hours, minutes, seconds, go by forever you stand right by my side,

As the cars, people, and animals cross our paths you shield and protect me as if I were glass,

Through the freezing winter days and the cool winter nights we become one until the golden of mornings light,

As the warm summer nights fade away you stare into my eyes but words you cannot say,

You're love for me is sweet, comforting and true but no matter how much you love me
words cannot describe how much I love you,

Thorough the winds, storms, hurricanes, nothing can break our bond instead it grows like a burning flame,

If our love can last this long and your still by my side our love will have last forever past the days that we die.

universe' memory

2010-02-09T18:59:00.000-08:00

Hullabaloo is coming from the drums,
Whenever it is raining
and it's voice is disarticulate my heart
Methinks,
coming back from the burned jungles with the recollection of the tree's breathes, it is
ashes away take the and the wind
and the hour hands has sleeping in my planet
Methinks,
These artificial circles,
lightless lamps,
gloomy holes,
even,
gloomy holes,
are aware what the winter has arrived
the snow is descending now,
up to my neck around,
, up to my breathes
up to the snowman's numb hands …
oh,
how the universe' memory has paled

I Chop Some Parsley While Listening To Art Blakey's Version Of "Three Blind Mice"

2010-02-09T17:57:00.000-08:00

And I start wondering how they came to be blind.
If it was congenital, they could be brothers and sister,
and I think of the poor mother
brooding over her sightless young triplets.

Or was it a common accident, all three caught
in a searing explosion, a firework perhaps?
If not,
if each came to his or her blindness separately,

how did they ever manage to find one another?
Would it not be difficult for a blind mouse
to locate even one fellow mouse with vision
let alone two other blind ones?

And how, in their tiny darkness,
could they possibly have run after a farmer's wife
or anyone else's wife for that matter?
Not to mention why.

Just so she could cut off their tails
with a carving knife, is the cynic's answer,
but the thought of them without eyes
and now without tails to trail through the moist grass

or slip around the corner of a baseboard
has the cynic who always lounges within me
up off his couch and at the window
trying to hide the rising softness that he feels.

By now I am on to dicing an onion
which might account for the wet stinging
in my own eyes, though Freddie Hubbard's
mournful trumpet on "Blue Moon,"

which happens to be the next cut,
cannot be said to be making matters any better.

Forever Young

2010-02-09T17:33:00.001-08:00

Why are you sad?
They just buried my best friend
Don't be sad
You will always remember him
As your best friend
He will never grow to hate you
Nor you to hate him
He will be forever young
Your time will come
Then they will bury you

To my first love

2010-02-09T15:39:00.000-08:00

When my eyes opened it was you i saw, and i felt love uncut and raw. You were so fine that i couldn't ignore and everyday i loved more. Even after fate threw us apart you still remained in my heart. Perhaps it's now hard for you to believe, but such love did my heart once conceive; and for you and only you it was, PURE-without a cause. Alas! How cruel the works of fate, that such love it had to frustrate. Now all that is left is misery, cos i'm still in love with your memory.

Real Beauty

2010-02-09T15:16:00.000-08:00

Intent for the beauty that comes from within,
but not for good looks or complexion of skin.

Your purity be the radiance of your eyes,
don't get conscious about your weight or size.

There is no such thing as perfect
your thinking alone adds the special effects.

Because the people who really care,
will see the true beauty is there,

In the person you are inside,
not on how you look from outside.

Beautiful people look good until they talk,
character matters more than face, figure or walk.

so....

Be a person who makes a dry day sunny
speak in a way that's sweeter than honey...! ! !

I've got the children to tend
The clothes to mend
The floor to mop
The food to shop
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry
I got company to feed
The garden to weed
I've got shirts to press
The tots to dress
The can to be cut
I gotta clean up this hut
Then see about the sick
And the cotton to pick.

Shine on me, sunshine
Rain on me, rain
Fall softly, dewdrops
And cool my brow again.

Storm, blow me from here
With your fiercest wind
Let me float across the sky
'Til I can rest again.

Fall gently, snowflakes
Cover me with white
Cold icy kisses and
Let me rest tonight.

Sun, rain, curving sky
Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Star shine, moon glow
You're all that I can call my own.

Touched by an Angel

2010-02-09T15:12:00.000-08:00

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

They Went Home

2010-02-09T15:09:00.000-08:00

They went home and told their wives,
that never once in all their lives,
had they known a girl like me,
But... They went home.

They said my house was licking clean,
no word I spoke was ever mean,
I had an air of mystery,
But... They went home.

My praises were on all men's lips,
they liked my smile, my wit, my hips,
they'd spend one night, or two or three.
But...

I Ask You

2010-02-09T15:02:00.000-08:00

What scene would I want to be enveloped in
more than this one,
an ordinary night at the kitchen table,
floral wallpaper pressing in,
white cabinets full of glass,
the telephone silent,
a pen tilted back in my hand?

It gives me time to think
about all that is going on outside--
leaves gathering in corners,
lichen greening the high grey rocks,
while over the dunes the world sails on,
huge, ocean-going, history bubbling in its wake.

But beyond this table
there is nothing that I need,
not even a job that would allow me to row to work,
or a coffee-colored Aston Martin DB4
with cracked green leather seats.

No, it's all here,
the clear ovals of a glass of water,
a small crate of oranges, a book on Stalin,
not to mention the odd snarling fish
in a frame on the wall,
and the way these three candles--
each a different height--
are singing in perfect harmony.

So forgive me
if I lower my head now and listen
to the short bass candle as he takes a solo
while my heart
thrums under my shirt--
frog at the edge of a pond--
and my thoughts fly off to a province
made of one enormous sky
and about a million empty branches.

All My Past Life

2010-02-09T14:59:00.000-08:00

All my past life is mine no more,
The flying hours are gone,
Like transitory dreams given o'er,
Whose images are kept in store
By memory alone.

What ever is to come is not,
How can it then be mine?
The present moment's all my lot,
And that as fast as it is got,
Phyllis, is wholly thine.

Then talk not of inconstancy,
False hearts, and broken vows,
Ii, by miracle, can be,
This live-long minute true to thee,
'Tis all that heaven allows.

Taste of Life

2009-11-26T23:03:00.000-08:00

Life has a lot to offer
Different things for different people
It’s an overloaded dinner table
Checkout every dish if you dare

Know not the taste of a feeling
If into it not ventured
Since its better to die trying
Than to die without living.

(Give me Your) Strength

2009-11-26T23:02:00.000-08:00

Please...Give me Your strength.
These battles I face are of plenty of length.
I need it, to help not only me and you,
But also others, who are having troubles, through and through.
I know the troubles I face, are small to you...
And you have many others to attend to...
I know you hear me, but I hope you listen to what I have to say,
Because its only with you, that things can finally come my way.
It is from you, where everything iv become,
All the good i'v done, comes from...
I also ask of you, protect the one I love dearly,
She also loves you sincerely.
I hope in the future, when I am stronger and more prudent,
And when I become an even better student,
That I may receive your blessing,
And stop all my stressing.
&forever be with the one I love and whom also loves me,
Joined together in Holy Matrimony.
But this time, we want to do it right...
So you may be proud of us, and look upon us with delight...
I will end this, asking for another thing.
Give me strength, so one day, I can be seeing,
The girl of my dreams, the one I love, and the one that loves me,
Walking down that isle, just waiting to be joined in Holy Matrimony...
Amen...

My Room Is Transitory

2009-11-26T22:58:00.000-08:00

Green light flecks and splits
Like the wings of a swan through the crooks
Of a lime tree.
Joe was born in Holland and his father farmed
Pale celery in the upper muck bottoms
Of Michigan.
Tomorrow is thanksgiving and we’re getting in
A load of Christmas trees.
I will think of you,
While the steady hands of the sun hold my face
Up for the inspection of
So many harmless eyes;
And I will think of you,
And then at night when my mechanism is unwinding
I will find new ways to be untrue to the unhappy
Empiricisms required
From this insurmountable fleet of tourists,
Because I understand that my room
Is transitory,
But if I want to move on, all I need is you.

The First And Last of Its Kind

2009-11-26T22:56:00.000-08:00

Burning in your Coital furnace,
Narcoleptic but with gasoline:
I want to drive at you like many directions,
Like phalanxes of hegemonic spears
Doing their duty toward the Hessian’s
Bosom,
But Heraclitus’s river flows with fresh water
Every morning,
And you sip from the water fountain and pirouette
Like a hummingbird,
And your fingers touch new clay;
And they don’t even think to look off to the
Other direction where my model rockets
Are exploding,
Sending entire civilizations of pretty young ants
Cart wheeling through the clouds-
So I don’t know any other great philosophy,
So I bow and suck tit to my muses,
Wherever they are: I jest and give tinseling fanfare,
And I make a fool of myself to no one
In the middle of a hibernating Disney World;
And it is so much fun
To prance like an awkward penumbra for the blind,
A three legged dog swearing that
He will live forever,
And this is my poem:
The first and last of its kind.

The Most Beautiful Aspects of This Baseball Universe

2009-11-26T22:55:00.000-08:00

I hear the rumor of dancing green mermaids:
For moments they seem to be,
Leaping breathlessly and coughing from the
Traffic’s bolero;
But I have lost my will to go see them,
For the chickens are already dancing with the
Serpents at the low end of the ski lift,
And I want to see the end of them,
While each tree enraptures the wooden epitaph,
A steed birthed from an acorn
Which bad men entrain and dance of the jib,
Nefarious scallywags with candles burning in their
Beards,
Already have those vermilion mermaids eating out
Of their hands at two a peace,
And the traffic streams to a rather new kleptomaniac
Séance;
But I don’t care:
I just want the love of a good woman to last a life time,
A daughter named Ganymede,
And a son who has his back turned, who is always running
Away from me
Like the most beautiful aspects of this baseball universe.

Where We Are

2009-11-26T22:52:00.000-08:00

So here we are at last
Ultimatum set in place
Whether or not I should reflect on the past
Fates worst blow struck my chest
As my mind seeks to erase
Us by your request
My body is numb
I cant feel a thing
I’m in a different spectrum
My eyes struck with confusion
At how you’re a human being
But its all fiction
You cant even see
The bloody tear
That runs down me
As it stains my cheek
The scar I fear
The mark that lets me know I’m weak
I’m stuck in my shadow now
Left with only a false reality
Word that’s stuck on my lips is “how”
Thoughtless I roam
No source of sensitivity
Unattached I return home

No one can find me
I’m right in front of them
The bloody tear instilled with what I was
The memories locked in the plasma
Hits the floor and I’m no longer
So it is
Soul lost in a void so haunting
Because its left with only wanting
Of all that once was and what cold have been
Last I speak my peace
Wished that you wouldn’t be the one have me fall
And be the end of it all

As Days Flew By

2009-11-04T04:21:00.001-08:00

by Peng

The very first time I saw you,
Was special how we met.
You took me by complete surprise.
I knew my heart was set.

As days flew by, we talked again,
But you never seemed to care.
I tried my best to help you out,
By a favor here, or a favor there.

Although I made a fast approach,
Our friendship grew and grew.
I realized how deep I cared,
But the feeling I felt was new.

In time I became attached to you.
From a hug, I wouldn't let go.
I soon saw how close we were,
And the feeling was good to know.

For you, I wrote sweet letters and songs.
You were on my mind all day.
The thought of sleeping was nowhere near,
Unless I knew you were okay.

It hit me then, what I was in -
A unique and precious love.
For the person I said was only mine,
Was an angel sent from above.

The minutes without you turned into days,
And the seconds with you flew fast.
I could only wish to see you more,
And make each moment last.

The times I spent with you,
Were what made my heart complete.
I knew one thing for sure,
Without you, my future was obsolete.

And now, we love just the same,
As it doubles day by day.
I stare deep into your precious eyes,
Yet I'm still speechless to what I should say.

With you, I'm in a whole new world.
You bring out the best in me.
It's hard to picture you not there,
When you taught me who to be.

Yes, the road ahead gets hard,
When things may only seem rough.
But because you and I try so much,
We'll stay strong and get by tough.

Though problems may lie ahead someday,
And either of us could be right;
I promise to always be by your side,
And I promise my heart, so hold it tight.

And so, each night, beside my bed,
When there's only bright stars to see;
I pray that we may never give up,
And will always remain you and me.

I Love You

2009-11-04T04:18:00.000-08:00

by Jody Nichols

My knees start to weaken
At the first sight of your face
My heart starts to melt
At the thought of your embrace

Your love flows through me
Like a river flows down its path
Your kiss lifts me up so high
I could probably fall to my death

I really wish that
When I looked into your eyes I could see
Exactly how it is that
You feel about me

I get nervous when you're around me
I feel I could cry when you're away
I dream about you
Every night and day

I want you to know
My last three words will always remain true
Regardless of what I may say or do
You'll always know that
I love you.

My Gift To You

2009-11-04T04:02:00.001-08:00

by Lonely Shadow

I live through my dark existence
only to bask in your beauty
your eyes that shine like sapphires
your smile that brightens even my sad existence
I envy the wind that runs through your hair
that touches your lips
I long to touch you
to hold you in my arms but I cannot
for your heart belongs to another
so, I can only love you from afar
your friendship means more to me
than anything this world provides
but like an angel you touched my heart
in a way that I've never felt before
cause I've never known what love is until this day
I know that we are only friends
but my heart wishes it to be more
so I will still hope and dream
that one day I can feel your lips pressed to mine
to hold you in my arms and say, "I love you"

Life Is A Prison

2009-11-04T04:00:00.000-08:00

by Puff

Life is a prison,
Oh God let me out.
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout.

Climb the walls of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair.
If you fall it don't matter,
There's no one to care.

Used to wish for a window,
To see birds, trees and sky,
But you're better without one -
Stops you aiming too high.

Watching freedom is painful,
For those locked away.
Seeing joy, love and happiness,
Another price that you pay.

Strong is good, weak is bad.
Be it false, be it true.
Your mind makes the choice,
And enforces it too.

Cell walls built by society,
With rules to adhere.
If you breach the acceptable,
You had better beware.

Hide the pain, carry on,
Routine is the key.
Don't let on that you're not,
What you're pretending to be.

Lock it all up inside you,
How badly that bodes.
Look out for that one day,
When it all just explodes.

Leaving naught but a shell,
Base functionality too.
But killing all else,
That was uniquely you.

So how do you grow,
With a timebomb inside?
Or how to defuse it,
Without destroying its ride?

You can't.

Let's Make A Deal

2009-11-04T03:59:00.000-08:00

by Diane Blue

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them.

Forgiveness brings inner peace.
Do we have a deal?

Always

2009-11-04T03:58:00.000-08:00

by Richard LeGault

I wish you were here
I wish you were close
and those are the times that I'm wishing the most.

I gave you that ring you wear on your hand
and like time in an hour glass, you slip away like sand.

I want you so bad to hold, and to touch
and that is because I love you so much.

And I want you to know whatever you do
I will always be here

and I will always love you.

Feelings Of Love

2009-11-04T03:57:00.000-08:00

by Dee

I have feelings of love for the guy I see.
Does he love me too, what does he think of me?

I wish I could tell him he makes me whole, but I'm afraid to say
what's deep in my soul.

I don't want to lose him, for I would be alone,
and some days I just can't wait to hear his voice on the phone.

He does certain things to make me feel loved,
some days he wants to be alone and my heart is shoved.

I want to feel as though I am his safeguard,
the one he can come to when things get hard.

I will always be there to help him along,
and before we met I wasn't as strong.

I wish I could tell him what I feel inside,
but I'm afraid of what he'll say, how he'll act on the outside.

This Kiss

2009-11-04T03:56:00.000-08:00

by Martini

we stood in the doorway
his hands on my waist
the clock tickling loudly
almost in haste

he moved in closer
his eyes locked in mine
I long for his kiss
For just a moment in time

his lips meet mine
and I feel the sensation
no longer must I wait
to give into the sweet temptation

my knees go weak
my palms become sweaty
I go back to that place
I have been so many times already

the world disappears
all that's left is him and I
and as we pull away
I feel as though I could fly

Goodbye

2009-11-04T03:55:00.000-08:00

by Rosebud

Well maybe now I should just say goodbye
You used to be my friend
But I never felt I really was yours
So maybe this is the end.
I'm different from you, all of you
Each other we've never understood
I hope that if I do tell you goodbye
That it won't be for good.
Whenever I'm mad it hurts me so bad
And you don't even care
I don't know why, I just want to cry
And someday I won't be there.
The streaks on my arm they've done me no harm
They're only made of pen
But once they are blood that turns brown like mud
They'll be there again and again.
If I'm mad at you I'll hurt myself too
But that doesn't really matter
Although when I hurt I feel like dirt
And my spirit's bruised and battered.
I do not know why it has to be so
I really wish it did not
But the way this has been going
it is basically shot.
You don't need me and we don't need we
And that's how I think I know why
These words are the ones I have to speak-
I love you, but goodbye.

Things I Love About You

2009-11-04T03:46:00.002-08:00

by Anthony West

Your eyes
which first held me captivated
where I stood.

Your smile
to dazzle the sun
and warm every corner of my soul.

Your voice
like a sparkling mountain stream
which flows into my heart.

Your walk
and the way your gracefulness
takes my breath away.

Your hair
about which I dreamed
cascading into my face
as you leaned over me.

Your hands
whose caress I crave
to hold my face
in their tenderness.

Your arms
I long to have around my neck
as you pull me close
to your warmth.

Most of all
everything you are
changed the way I feel about my life.

I love you.

Can We Still Be Friends?

2009-11-04T03:46:00.001-08:00

by Kathleen Sheppard

I was cold and hurting
lost out in the night
wandering and searching
for heaven's light

I saw the night sky clearing
when you spread your rainbow wings
But little did I know
what joy you would bring

From that moment on
a friendship did start
you kissed away my tears
and sheltered my heart

I bless the day God
sent him from above
But then I grew fearful
for I had fallen in love

I told you this feeling
and what did you say?
You said you liked our friendship
and that's how it would stay

I cried for a friendship I thought I lost
But then felt your warm, gentle hand
You then whispered in my ear
that by my side you'll forever stand

More!

2009-11-04T03:44:00.000-08:00

by Michael Anderson

I see myself holding you close to me,
Squeezing your body tight.
But for all I see as I daydream-
I know I'll get tenfold tonight.

Running my palms across your breast,
As you tremble and bite your lip.
Feeling your hands upon my chest,
The softness of each fingertip.

Tasting your neck so sweet, so soft,
And slowly lowering my kiss.
Over pert nipples, across your navel,
And finally into pure bliss.

Looking upon your face from below-
As you tilt back your head.
Feeling your fountains begin to flow-
As you ease back on the bed.

Your "innocent little devil" look-
Crying insatiably with the sensation.
Lip to lip lapping up every drip-
From the well of your creation.

The way you pull me up by the hair-
To the heat of your mouth, on fire.
No other thoughts, no other cares,
Just the quenching of mad desire.

Riding the tide of passion,
Pushing my love into you.
On the waves of your emotion-
In slow motion, so sweet and true.

Pulse pounding in resounding rapture,
Taken to the hilt, then just past.
Rhythm growing, faces glowing,
The climax coming fast.

That heated, illicit look-
Of ecstasy across your eyes.
The culmination nearing-
Within your undulating thighs.
Echoing throughout the heavens-
On overindulgent cries.

The sultry look upon your face-
In reaching that gyrating gush.
The way you bite my fingers-
When I try to make you hush.

Your arching back, your fingernails,
Your perfume mixed with sweat.
The way you keep rubbing against me-
With your insides already so wet.

The way when I'm beat dead and ready-
To fall face first to the floor,
You put your sweet lips to my ear-
And whisper, "I want more! "

The Dummy

2009-11-04T03:43:00.000-08:00

by Michael Mack

In that forgotten part of town
Where wasted hopes and dreams abound,
A wrinkled man with life near end,
In hopes to have at least one friend,
Fashioned bits of wood and things
And made a dummy run by strings.

He sat alone for hours on end,
Conversing with his only friend
And found delight within the fact
That he controlled it's every act.
He told it how he never had
A chance, since all his luck was bad
Although he'd tried so to succeed -
The dummy nodded and agreed.

And how his journeys in romance
Had never given him a chance,
And wasn't it a crying shame
That he was always held to blame
When everyone knew, oh so well,
That life is but a living Hell,
Controlled by lust and power and greed?
The dummy nodded and agreed.

With patience that would rival saints,
That dummy sat through all complaints
And, with each little expert tug,
He'd droop his head or bow or shrug
And give some comfort to the man
Who held his lifelines in his hand
And helped to fill a lonely need
When he just nodded and agreed.

Senility increased with time
As did the old man's phantomime,
And feverish fingers pulled with glee
The dummy's dance of misery.
They never left each other's side
Until the day both stopped and died.
We found them lying, hand in hand,
The dummy - and his wooden friend.

At Night

2009-11-04T03:42:00.000-08:00

by Miss P.

At night
At night I lay and think of you hoping my wishes and dreams come true
At night I wonder can this be the end is this all that's left
At night I wish we could go to the way things were
At night I lay and cry about the things that happened and how it all ended
At night I lay and think of us, I mean you and I
At night I realize there's no more us
At night I dream of us together again
At night I wish for us to be together again
But in the morning I realize it was all
At Night

Walk With Me

2009-11-04T03:41:00.000-08:00

by Munda

Walk with me, the path of life,
to explore every bend of the road
Enjoy with me the beauty of life,
along its wonderful way

Find comfort with me, in each other's arms,
when grief crosses our path
Find strength with me, in each other's strength,
when despair lies in wait

Laugh with me, a single true laugh,
to enlighten another's distress
Cry with me, a single true tear,
to understand true happiness

Cherish with me, the wonders of life,
as they need to be preserved
Rejoice with me, in the mysteries,
of what is yet to be

Find peace with me, in each other's souls,
when the world has gone insane
Find love with me, in each other's hearts,
until this life has been fulfilled

And when the path comes to an end
I hope we can say from within
We've known the beauty of true love,
our love came from within

Best Friends Forever

2009-11-04T03:40:00.000-08:00

by Angie Belanger

As the years pass,
and we grow apart,
I want you to know,
that you're in my heart.

You helped me through problems,
through things good and bad.
You helped me keep smiling,
when I was sad.

You helped me with guys.
You made me stay strong.
How will I live,
when you are gone?

And where the years take us,
No place is too far,
We will think of each other,
wherever we are.

You're a wonderful person,
with a good heart to lend,
And I want you to know,
You're a really good friend.

Broken Heart

2009-11-04T03:35:00.000-08:00

by Crystal Holtz

I will never forget the days we once had
The days when you were everything to me
My mind used to tell me we'd be together forever
But now I realize that was all a big dream
The feelings I have for you will never go
I wish I could take back that one regretful day
The day when I willingly let you slide from my arms
Never did I think of the astonishing pain of regrets
That I would once have to live through
The sight of you in someone else's arms
Makes my heart shatter into a million pieces
I sometimes wonder if you still think of me
Or if to you, I'm just a face in the crowd
I wish so very much that one day we can have it all back
But for now, I'll sit here silently
Remembering all the memories we once shared
Everyday my love grows much stronger
Hoping that one day you will feel the same
And put back the pieces of my broken heart.

I Can See The Pain

2009-11-04T03:34:00.000-08:00

by Nikki

I still see your face in my dreams
It hurts and it doesn't help at all
I still want you in my life as crazy as that seems
I want you to catch me when I fall

I still remember the first time we met
There was something so different about you
Your friendship was something I wanted to get
That smile when you said hi to me was so new

Out of no where you called me on the phone
I wanted to sit there and talk to you forever
You were so new, so crazy and unknown
I just knew that our friendship would never sever

Two years and we are barely holding it together
What happened to the way this all used to be
I never wanted you out of my like ever
I sat there for a long time pretending not to see

We decided to go out and make it all all right
It didn't work out of course we knew it couldn't
We couldn't even really stand each others sight
It shouldn't end this way but it did and I shouldn't

I miss you and everything you were to me
Ten years from now we will look back on it all
We will be older and finally be able to see
That love will stand the test of time and never fall

As It Comes To An End

2009-11-04T03:33:00.000-08:00

by Kay

As I sit here in class,
I observe my friends
And look forward to the year
Coming to an end.

It's gonna be sad
To say good- bye.
I'll miss everyone.
I know I will cry.

I remember the day
When I came back
To be with my friends
And get on the right track.

We had so many moments;
Some bad, most great.
I'll always remember the love
And erase the hate.

I don't wanna say good- bye
To all my friends.
I don't want this year
To come to an end.

A Friend's Love

2009-11-04T03:32:00.000-08:00

by Jacquilyn Flory

No one really knows
What kind of bond we share
And even if I told them
They probably wouldn't care

You are very dear to me
I hope you know it's true
And now that you are sick
Tell me what that I should do?

While you've been gone
A part of me has been lost
It's like I've taken our friendship for granted
And now I'm paying the cost

I never knew how much you meant to me
Until you went away
The thought of you being really sick
Haunted me every day

I spent a few days at school alone
And my weekend was such a bore
A lot of my time was spent in my room
I think my mom's ready to break down the door

And now I make this vow to you
To keep until the end
I'll help you through the pain and tears
Until our rivers bend

So if you ever need someone
You know just who to call
I'll be here by the phone
To catch you if you fall

Friends 4-Life

2009-11-04T03:31:00.001-08:00

by Doryan Hallicy

Friends 4- life is what we are
Through thick and thin you were my friend
Leaning on you, you gave me support
The strength to get up and go again

If my heart was shattered, you'd heal it
If my heart was happy, we both rejoiced in it

You are my best friend
always and forever
It's been good
the best friendship ever
Never end, now and forever

Terra Incognizant

2009-11-04T03:29:00.000-08:00

by Prometheus

You would think by now, I would know my way around,
I shouldn't miss you so badly, I should be on familiar ground.
How many more lonely years, must meander by,
until I learn the lesson, it does no good to cry.
What manner of iron will, must some people possess,
to be always looking forward, to never accept regress.
Perhaps if I was willing, to let someone take me by the hand,
they could show me a happy place, in this unfamiliar land.
Perhaps I'm only homesick, for all the joys that once were mine,
I must accept that they and you, belong to another place and time.
But I know that deep within my heart, there's a place where only you reside,
and when the pain of loneliness comes, it knows that is where I hide.
So if sometimes it seems to you, I'm clinging to the past,
it's mostly because I can't yet accept, that our love didn't last.
No matter how hard I try, I've yet to get over you,
for the part of me that's still alive, believes you love me too.
Maybe there will come a day, when that part will finally die,
and feeling strong with a heart reborn, a new love I will finally try.
And what a splendid day that will be, when I awaken to discover,
I'm happily learning a great new land, with a great new friend and lover.

Death Not Being The Way

2009-11-04T03:25:00.004-08:00

by Angell

I held the knife so close to my heart.
Like a foolish child I sat and I cried,
Didn't realize what I had done, what I had tried.
Tears mixed with blood, falling slowly to the ground.
Covered in blood, pulled myself up, in tears scribed:

"To those who don't care, to those who can't see,
Never Give up always thrive to be free."
Didn't know how many people would later cry.
"Tried to be free, yet I see this isn't the way."

Friend at the door, ran as fast as she could.
Too weak to say I'm sorry, otherwise I would.
In tears, looked at the blue sad day.
When you come and see this pool of blood and me,
This isn't the way my life was meant to be.

My Crush

2009-11-04T03:24:00.000-08:00

by Gina Marie

I have these feelings, deep inside
feelings that I have to hide
I don't know if he feels that way too
And I don't know what to do
When we're together, I feel uptight
When he's around I feel so right
I dream about what we can do
And all the things we can pursue
I yearn just to feel his touch
And when he leaves, I miss him so much
I want to feel his lips against mine
And feel our bodies intertwine
So for now I'll love him from afar
One day I'll express how special you are
So until then I will retain this rush
And until then I'll contain my crush.

To Put It Simply, I Want You

2009-11-04T03:21:00.000-08:00

by Iloveit

I want to be your companion
and walk hand in hand,
your strength enveloping mine.
Autumn leaves falling,
scuffing feet and laughter,
sharing nights, not finished by the dark.

I want to be your confidant
as you pen your deepest
thoughts, as your heartaches
bleed and finally break free.
Your dreams, I keep as if my own.
I want to smile as you smile
and giggle with you
at nothing at all.

I want to be your lover
and find the passions
that move you to action.
I want to be the softness
that induces you to trust.
I want to be the naughty
that makes you come back for more.
I want to please you.

I want to share your breakfast
and your dinner,
I want you in the shower
and in your bed and
with soft steps to bring you coffee
(I take mine black)
Your strong arms, the legs
that power your thrust,
your lips of pleasure,
these are the fuel of my desire

no it is no secret, my love,
and to put it very simply,
I want you.

First Kiss

2009-11-04T03:20:00.001-08:00

by Gibs

You leaned over and you kissed me
I felt my knees go weak
You leaned over and you kissed me
I couldn't even speak
You leaned over and you kissed me
With a passion flowing free
You leaned over and you kissed me
Sparks flew that we could see
You leaned over and you kissed me
A touch so soft and tender
You leaned over and you kissed me
A kiss I would remember
You leaned over and you kissed me
I'm sure I kissed you back
You leaned over and you kissed me
With the fire no kiss should lack
You leaned over and you kissed me
You left me wanting more
You leaned over and you kissed me
My soul you did explore
You leaned over and you kissed me
My heart no longer full of pain
You leaned over and you kissed me
Darling, kiss me once again

Lover's Dance

2009-11-04T03:18:00.000-08:00

by Poet deVine

Glistening bodies entwined
in an ageless erotic dance,
seeking pleasures from each other,
seeking wonder and romance.

She touches his face with tenderness.
He draws her body near.
Aching, needing hunger
will make their destiny clear.

Their lips meet in soft kisses,
their tongues begin passion's war.
Forgotten now, the outside world.
All is here, behind this door.

He strokes her body tenderly,
she arches up for his caress.
He finds her silken portal
and her womanly wetness.

She moans in fiery desire
and pulls his hand away,
wishing to end this exquisite torture
and get on with passion's play.

She straddles his waiting body,
eases him into her feminine hollow.
She leads him on a rhythmic dance,
his thrusting hips must follow.

She rides him faster, even then,
to hear his wondrous sighs.
She shows him all the delights
she has between her womanly thighs.

They stare into each other's eyes
and gasp as ecstasy unreels,
and tangles them in a lover's knot
that every answer reveals.

Sated, they lie side by side,
spent but hungering still.
She touches him where their passion came
and tastes their lovers spill.

Their mouths meet in passionate need,
hungry animals once more.
This time he rises above her,
her body to explore.

Their ballet begins again,
as he thrusts his manhood in,
vowing not to end the dance
unless her cries he'll win.

Like beasts of old they become,
riding with desire,
only resting their throbbing bodies
when sated by their fire.

Dad

2009-11-04T03:17:00.000-08:00

by Judy Burnette

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

I Want You To Know

2009-11-04T03:16:00.000-08:00

by Angela

A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.

Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.

All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.

I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.

I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.

A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.

Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.

Long Distance Love

2009-11-04T03:15:00.000-08:00

by Panda

When it hurts so bad,
why does it feel so good?
I wish this all made sense,
I wish I understood.
Not having you here with me is tearing me up inside,
but I can't stop thinking about you no matter how hard I try.

You know how I feel about you,
and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you,
but it's so hard to do when I can't even be next to you.
Why does it gotta be so complicated?

Loving you feels so right,
but at the same time,
knowing I can't have you keeps me awake at night.
I just want this to be simple,
I just want you here with me,
to look into your eyes,
be held in your arms...then I'd truly be happy.

Right now this distance between us is out of our control,
but I'm still hoping one day soon,
I'll get what I'm wishing for.

Goodbye, My Brother

2009-11-04T03:14:00.001-08:00

by Lisa

My brother Greg an awesome guy,
I don't know why you had to die.
You were so cute as a little boy,
You smiled at us and brought us joy.

Even though we had our little fights,
Over silly things like phone lines and wiring lights,
I never wanted to be a pest,
I needed your skills, cause you're the best.

I'm glad those times, were only a few,
It was hard for me to argue with you,
But that's just me, as you are you,
And in the end you always came through.

This is Lanesville where you are from,
We all are here with Deb and Mom,
Our hearts are broken, as you know,
We really can't bear to let you go.

Sometimes you were so crazy and loony,
Especially with the friends who call you "Cooney",
I know that everyone here will agree with me,
That the Lanesville Crew is the best there could ever be.

We wish so much that you were here,
Or just down "The Cove" havin' a beer.
It's happy thoughts that will get us through,
Like all the fun we shared with you.

And now my poem will come to an end,
Until the day we meet again,
I pray that you are now at peace.
Goodbye Greg With Love From Lis

My Best Friend

2009-11-04T03:12:00.001-08:00

by Athena

Once was here
now is gone
I will always
love forever
the laughs
the tears
the smiles
without her
my life has no direction
no ups nor downs
no smiles or frowns
I miss her
I cry
I see her
I lie
what ever went wrong
I can mend
I will always
love forever
my very best friend

Don't Tell Me You Love Me

2009-11-04T03:08:00.000-08:00

by Love

Don't tell me you love me if you are not sincere
For a lie that strong can ruin my life and bring on a new fear.
Fear to be loved, fear to love ever again
It can cause my fragile heart to break, tear and bend.
Think of all in life that will be missed
because of one small broken promise
So, when I put all of my trust deep within you
Please don't tell me you love me, unless you truly do.

Greatly Missed

2009-11-04T03:07:00.000-08:00

by Amy Richards

A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.

An empty house, An empty chair,
A fathers love, No longer there.

A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the sky.

Many memories in my mind,
Some I laugh, Some I cry.

The times we shared, The laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.

Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,
Only memories, Of what once was you.

Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.

No more smile on your face,
No more warmth of your embrace.

The last hug, The last kiss,
The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...

To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.

A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!

Where Are You Daddy?

2009-10-24T23:08:00.000-07:00

by Diane Blue

Hey daddy, I'm right here -
Can't you see me?

Hey daddy, I'm talking to you -
Can't you hear me?

Hey daddy, I need a hug -
Can't you touch me?

Let's play catch daddy.
Teach me to fish.
Help me build a birdhouse.
Listen to my wish.

Daddy, daddy, where are you?
I can see you standing there -
What's the matter daddy?
Don't you even care?

I need you daddy -
Don't you love me?

Never mind daddy.

The Hard Part Is Over With

2009-10-24T22:06:00.000-07:00

by Bahar

I walk into my bathroom,
Turn the radio up,
So nobody can hear,
I get on my knees,
Get my hair out of my face,
I shove my fingers down my throat,
Scratching the back of my throat,
It burns inside,
Tears run down my face,
I do this over and over,
Until there is nothing left to come out,
Now there is an empty feeling inside of me,
The one thing that I love and cherish,
At least the hard part is over with now,
Until the next time comes when I feel fat.

Mom, I Know

2009-10-24T21:47:00.000-07:00

by Amanda Winn

I know you care for me, Mom, and
I know you love me, Mom.
I do what you tell me, Mom,
and I know What�s Right, Mom.
Although you may not know it, Mom,
you are my best friend, Mom, and . . .
I Love You So Much Mom.

I wrote this for you, Mom, to tell you
How much I care for you, Mom.
I�ll be a kind person, Mom, and I�ll do
Everything for you, Mom.
You may never know it, Mom, but
you�re not only my mom, but
My Friend, and . . .
I Love You Very Much Mom.

You'll Never Know

2009-10-24T21:45:00.000-07:00

by Sonja

You'll never know
How much I loved you,
How much I cared.

You'll never know
About my pain,
About my broken heart.

You'll never know
How much I cried,
Just lying on my bed
And thinking of you . . .
kissing her.

Why?

2009-10-24T21:44:00.001-07:00

by Jamie Hjelm

He was young
His life had just begun
All of a sudden it was taken away
I didn't even get to say the things I wanted to say
Only if God could see
How he could of turned out to be
Alcohol was the cause
He was wrong and broke the law
He wasn't the only one to pay
I still cry to this day
He would have been 21 this year
Sometimes I envision him in my mind
As clear as I would in a mirror
I only hope he knows
that no matter where in life I go
I love him so much
I only wish I could feel his touch
Only if God could see
How much he meant to me
Why won't the sorrow disappear?
Why can't I stop shedding the tears?
I never told him how much I cared
or how much I enjoyed the things we shared
All of mind is filled with hate
Because I never told him of my love
and now it's too late
Sometimes I feel he's here
I only wish he didn't drink that beer
For he'd be alive today
and I wouldn't think of reasons "Why?" to say

Your Eyes

2009-10-24T21:00:00.000-07:00

by Helea

When I look at your eyes, I see your true self.
I see you're sweet, and caring.
I see you're giving and forgiving.
I see your love for me.

When I look at your eyes I stop myself from crying
When I'm alone and think about your eyes I cry.
I can't stop thinking that one day I'll never see those eyes again
That I'll never see the love or the sweetness
Or the love that makes you who you are.
One day you'll be gone - gone from me.
Gone from this world.
No matter what happens, those eyes will one day close
And forever rest in peace.

But you'll never be completely gone,
Because every time I close my eyes,
There you will be.

Goodbye At Last

2009-10-24T20:53:00.000-07:00

by Barbi D

Saying goodbye is never easy
It's the hardest thing to do
But what hurts even more
Is not the chance to say it to you.

Yesterday is just a memory
Our laughter was sunny and bright
Then clouds started to gather
For you were no where in sight.

You were my first real love
And this I will never forget
How you left without a warning
No good-byes, my only regret.

Wherever I may be now
Always searching for another so true
To place my world of emotion
Handing my love to someone like you.

If again I must go there
And experience all the pain
I would do it in a minute
For all the good I would gain.

No matter what my wrongs
You offered only love
Until the day you left me
For your new home up above.

I know you still are with me
Your love is within my heart
Though life is no longer present
Our souls will never part.

This is given to you in honor
Of all that we did share
I just wanted you to know, dear,
How much I really did care.

Forever Young

2009-10-24T20:46:00.000-07:00

by Renee 'nay' Kristen Kristen

Trapped in the glorious years
within the memory of belief, lost of all grief.
Take the reasons,
which once seemed so clear,
but never mind, you have nothing to fear.
For you my fried will be, forever young,
Forever in the heart of memories.

Lost in the glory of all time,
the wisdom was there within that smile,
You see you could have told us,
there within lies the mystery.

So shed a smile, and grin a tear,
For you my friend, will be,
Forever young, Forever young.
Forever in the heart of memory,
We see not through or misery.
Forever young, forever young.
There's a new angel tonight.

Just a Little Longer

2009-10-24T20:45:00.000-07:00

by Maria Byrne

Desolation,
Wide open space,
Between the trees and me,
Emptiness and me,
Confusion and decisions,
Feelings hard to define,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer,

Coldness seeps
Its way in,
I am falling deeper,
Into what I fear most,
As I reach out,
There is nothing there,
As possible there was something once,
Only to be gone,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer,

The sun drops,
The last inch of light falls,
The squirrels more likely to be huddled up,
But not me,
Something I never possessed,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer,

Then the sun has gone,
Darkness spreads its wings over me,
I see nothing so no one sees me,
Feeling of bitterness only,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer,

An Owl peers down,
With question in her eyes,
She doesn't have a hope,
In helping me,
As she doesn't see my pain,
Spreads her wings,
Passes me by,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer,

The soft earth,
Seems the only thing holding me up,
Even then I could slip,
And wondering takes me,
To why and how I got here,
Without even knowing it,
Yet no one notices,
As they didn't see before,
So I say to myself,
Just a little longer,

Shimmering in the darkness,
I see two moons,
Reflecting off a stream of thoughts,
Ongoing forever more,
Along a rocky road,
Slowly giving in to finding a way out,
I take the plunge under the river,
Then the wind carries a whisper,
Gently on a breeze,
'Just a little longer.'

Screams Of Silence

2009-10-24T20:44:00.000-07:00

by Tim Chambers

Begone ye screams of silence, harbingers of pain
Cloaked in isolation, you mock in harsh disdain
My soul is torn asunder, I curse you, God of Hell
As you pierced my tortured soul, what horrors I befell.
You spoke of quiet solitude, to tempt me to your lair
Then lanced me in my troubled heart, to depths of dark despair
Nemesis, I beg of thee, rise up in righteous ire
Protect me from Tisiphone, from Hell's eternal fire
With all my voice I scream to you, protect me from the night
Alas, in forlorn desperation, I journey to the light
Banished to mind's Coventry, I heed the demon's call
Beckoned by the silent screams, I enter Dante's hall.

You Are Like The Diamond

You are like the diamond
You glimmer and glow
And shine so brightly
Some, like me, draw close
To feel your warmth, your heat
Only to find none

You are like the diamond
You are bright and strong
But you have no warmth, or love
It's a terrible game
To play with people's hearts
Like mine

You are like the diamond
You will last longer than most
But you will have no love
No warmth to back up that bright light
So what kind of life will it be?
Besides long?

Will you regret it someday?
Regret being so much like the diamond
Regret being so cold
And look for me
A find me gone?
Can I ever leave?

No, I can never leave you
I am drawn to this cold light
This false sense of warmth you give
I keep wishing and hoping
That someday, you will give warmth
But, this will never be

Diamonds last forever

Love

You said the words I love you,
But it is obvious things have changed.
I said the words I love you,
And my feelings are still the same.
You said I'll love you forever,
But forever wasn't long enough.
I said I'll love you always,
And I'll mean it forever.
But I can not imply to you
What that means,
'Cause your version of Forever
Isn't what it seems,
And my version of Always
Seems like an unrealistic dream.

Promises Made

Yesterday's goals, dim memories.
Dark saddened eyes, blurring with tears.
Painful scars borne; Love's history.
Futures crumble when doubt appears.

No brightly lit hope envisioned,
When following after harsh words.
Hurt soul splits in twain, partitioned.
Swooned by appeal - when numbness lured.

Apologies made, never bought.
Price paid turned out far too costly.
Though never known what would be wrought -
Must walk into the night softly.

One wish, only to be released.
Granted - now receive this token.
Words written in rhyme, love's deceased.
When promises made . . . were broken.
