This is the pond on my father's estate. I have always dreamed of building a house, so that I can wake up and have this very view each morning.

This one is so far my favorite poem, that I have written. I wrote it when I was 15, and the words literally just came to me, with no cause. This one wrote itself... Silent Nights...

Midi playing... One by Metallica



				Silent nights, Wordless fights. I'm all alone, Not a soul in sight. Quiet home, Or danger zone? It doesn't matter, The Beast is a roam. I hear a shatter, A Shriek, then a clatter, As I lay in my bed, My heart starts to patter. Then nothing was said, Except the words in my head. I pull the gun off the wall, BOOM!!! The Beast is dead. Charlene (Ball) Metzger, 1991

			Know my pain, When you are gone. Know my fears, When I�m all alone. Know my dreams, When I�m wide awake. Know my love, When my heart�s at stake. Know my tears, When I think of the past. Know my honesty, When I want this to last. Know my courage, When I tell you the truth. Know my remorsefulness, When I mention my youth. Know my longing, When I�m far away. Know my tenderness, When I ask you to stay. Know my confusion, When you keep me at bay. Know my eagerness, When I talk to you. Know my heart, When my love is true. Charlene Metzger 2003

	Dreams come freely when I'm awake, Longing to hold you, everything at stake. Bound by the madness of my own mind, Waiting here patiently, biding my time. Your words penetrate deep into my soul. Sweeping me away, out of control. No promises made, none to be received, I long for your touch, but my body's deceived. The thought of your kiss intoxicates me, Shattered by the reminder that I'm not free. You've captured my mind, I'm wanting you near. A chance that's not possible, hope turns to fear. Another time, another place, goes though my head, Saying goodbye I will always dread. Charlene Metzger, 2003

		For my little brother, no matter how far apart we are, you're always in my heart. Tiny Child Tiny child came to this earth, Life has not been good since birth. The pain you've seen would make a grown man cry, I'm sure you're left here wondering "why". You lost a sister and fathers too, Things have not been fair for you. The path you've walked has been a winding road, Like me, you dream of days of old. When life was new and seemed carefree, When you had no fears, just hopes and dreams. You'd give anything for just one more day, To say the things you wanted to say. Tiny child, so precious to me, I would take your pain, if it could be. I'd hold you close, and keep you from harm, Would only show you the world's true charm. Tiny child, I've hurt you too, Time is limited in youth. I've not been there as I should, If I could do it over again I would. Tiny child, just so you know, I know you pains, your fears, and hopes. I know the anger inside you, I know how you feel, I felt it too. Tiny child I hold so dear, Please know when I'm not near. You're in my heart, wherever you are, I'll love you always, near or far. Charlene Metzger 2003

I'm sitting here on the floor, Trying to figure out where to go. Fighting the tears from my eyes, Yet you don't hear my silent cries. The more I try, the more we fight. No wonder we don't both sleep at night. I give myself to you, but always denied. The rejection, it kills me, such pain inside. You wonder why I'm angry, throwing punches in the wind. It's the fear of having lost all I've loved from you within. We're like strangers, you and I. What happened to the love we couldn't hide? Charlene Metzger 2003
