Beni's Poetry Corner
Welcome to my poetry corner, thanks for coming!
This poem was written after my brother went to jail. It was really hard to control my anger, and I thought this would be the best way to get my thoughts out.

Drama Show (Poetry.com Version):

Look at your life, you have memories good and bad
It's either you're happy, or you are just plain sad
Then something comes and makes you mad
When you lose something, it's something you wish you had
You think your life is bad, so you compare to another
Then you realize his is worse because his brother
Was stupid enough to put his life in the gutter
When you hear it, all you can do is slip and stutter
His life is done for because you know he's changed
His life was white, and now it's stained
He could go anywhere, and now he's restrained
It was a sunny day, and now it rained
Hid brother is stupid, that he'll admit
'Cause all he did was throw a fit
He told him not to get involved in that bit
And now he's in jail, paying for it!
Doesn't think of his family's feelings
Thought he was tough, now he's in jail for stealing
He needed the money, that job was appealing
But now he's regretting it, with wounds never healing
I made this in the shakespearian tone. Its so far untitled.

Untitled:

Why must my intentions wrong me?
I mean for so much than to sit in utter uselessness
Many tell me tis not my part to take in
But if doth wants not but for good intentions, why should it not be?
I need but a push to extend my willingness to others
Will thou not open thy heart, and will, and soul and give me but the push I need
For I am a firework waiting to be lit and put my help for thy help of others
Song 1:

I get that feeling when I look into her eyes
That this is the type of girls, who's love that never dies
But I'm not that type of man who's scared yet still tries
When it comes to those feelings, I'd just have to say good-bye

I know she's the one, and I wanna try harder
To grow some balls, even if I get scared from it
And move on, no matter if I'm gonna slip and fall
It doesn't matter what she says, I still gotta give it all
I got, if not, then I'll lose her forever and never
Know the shot I had, and it comes down to whether
Or not, I'll leave this to rot, or give this a thought
My heart starts racing, until everything stops...
Now its your turn to share your favorite poems that you have written! Just leave a poem/song of some sort in the Guest book and I'll post it on the site under your name!
Sorry it took so long to post a new poem, but I am having some computer problems.

Basically this is just all the things that were bottled up inside of me. I haven't finished yet, but I hope you enjoy what I have so far.

Song 2:

Yet again, I guess the world never changes
People dying for no reason, crime seems to be contageous
Doing stupid jobs, just to feel like they're the greatest
Not thinking of the consequences, until it is the latest
So many people, with oh so many choices
The only peaceful beings are those with unheard voices
The thing that ticks me off, is that people don't try this
Mass destruction, bomb contruction, the reasoning is pointless
What is the world coming to?
Just another day or two
The whole world, is unfurled
Like you never knew it
The next thing we blew it
The ring's a bullet
The next sting's something that can't be avoided
So many fingers pointed
To those unsupported
Those who try to help others
But people just resorted
To anger, to violence, brings nations down to silence
(To be continued...)
Thing song starts off, of what I see myself as. And the second part is basically talking about how I feel around this one girl, who I also write about in Song 1.

Song 3:

I don't really see that much of myself
I think I'm ugly, the only thing I have is my health
And so I'm stealth, talking to otherwise nobody else
Than my friends, who are like toys, growing dust on the shelf
It's only lately that I've been a little more open,
To those who smoke dope and
don't know what's going on, So they keep on smoking
Just keep on puffing and choking
Thinking they're so cool, with styles provoking

So here the story falls, its just me with no balls
At all, I don't walk, I just love to crawl
And I love to stall, until it's too late
It's great, cause then I got, no shot at all
Cause when you pass by, I just can't try
All my senses die, a face don't lie
And I'm so shy, It'll take time
All I need is some practice, and then you'll be mine
I know the song kind of contradicts its self, but I just wrote what I was feeling. At this time, I was really down. I thought I was a faliure, but eventually I just went, you know what, I just gotta do what I do.

Song 4:

I'm sorry Mom and Dad that my life is really over
I didn't even give a try, to go high, even though your
Efforts to get me going, have stopped because I'm not showing
The man, who's man enough, to give a chance and stand up
Oh well, I guess this is the beginning to the ending
And even though this note I'm not sending
And depending on my feelings, on what I'll do
I don't know, but life grew harder
Don't know what to do, but I got to get smarter
And even though this fall, regardless I gotta give it all
I got, if not, my whole life I'd try to life and stall
And then this shot, is faught and dropped
(To be continued...)

Poems by Jun:

I want that someone to know me and see who I am
This may be rediculous but something urges me on
I'll find that someone, someway, somehow, someday
To reveal the soul behind the mask I wear

When I look into your eyes all I hope to see in those beautiful eyes are my eyes... So that I can tell that your looking back at me...

Love is never forever... It ends as fast as it starts... Someday you will look back and realize that I had cared so much about you, and then you would know how much it hurt... --{KP}--
Thank you so much Jun for letting me post your poems, They are very deep and I can relate to them very much. Out of the two years I've known you, I never knew had this kind of talent.-Beni Elgueta
The Monster Within (Now Posted on Poetry.com):
It is hideous!
Its teeth bent out of shape
Tipped for bitter wounds
Inflicting on not only others
But mainly itself.
Its features less apealing than the next.
Its slow stupid mind
Much like an old hound
Whose life's end is around the corner
Waiting for him as both brush by eachother.
The beastly creature's life
Is as slow as its movement
And its ambition is now only a fond memory.
For now fate left it only one path
Waisting the hours away
Thinking of how it could have done better.
What will be of this dumb being?
Only time will tell...
Only its words have been heard.
The Tower of Stone:
It was deep in the bubble
That sat by the sea
Where the sun shines clearly, brightly, and free
And no sorrow, no shame, no trouble or fear,
Ever lifted a finger inside.

Therein lived a boy
Content as could be
Who loved life, loved people, loved you and me
And all that was happiness, love, and joy,
Were his, and his to own.

The boy went on,
Unshaken by pride.
People followed his lead, and stayed by his side
When any and all things he wanted were won
Another thing came, likened to none.

The boy was afraid
Of this feeling inside
She had eyes that pierced him, and opened him wide.
She made him happy, and happier still
And these feelings happily stayed.

Closer they grew,
Their feelings unbroken,
The bumps in the road were only soft spoken
They grew tighter, tighter, and tighter still.
Love built like a tower of stone.

On a cold morning
Grass crunched at his feet.
He brought her his love, his heart and its beat
But misfortune arose, its omen unclear
And the tower was tilted askew.

The boy rushed underneath
It had to sustain
But his heart in his mouth, overtaken by pain
Only dug him in deeper, deeper, and deeper still,
Until the tower pressed into his fears.

But he could not give in
He had to stand strong
His love was his life, and had lasted so long.
He had to gather the strength to drive it back up;
This tower of love and stone.

Deep from within
He looked to his heart
His love was there, but where should he start
He knew deep inside that their love would not fail
And he pushed up the tower of stone.

She saw him there
She loved him still
She knew he had tried, and that he always will
She helped him support it, she helped them survive
Being crushed by the tower of stone

Slowly and steadily,
Inch after inch
Together they pushed it, never they flinched
The tower was heavy, but they would not fail
Raising, maintaining the tower of stone

Back in its place
Returned to its state
The tower was raised with love, without hate
And within the structure of strength and stone
Was bound by their unwavering love

Forever bound
Forever steady
Never changed and always ready
Love grew stronger, stronger, and stronger still
Ever and forever,
And it would always be so

I hate my wife
