| [[Poems & Rants]] |
| This is the first rant I ever wrote...It's quite short compared to others displayed in the following pages, but this is what got me started. |
| The Words The words are nothing without the music. A beautiful song-if you just read the lyrics somewhere-you won't really understand them without the music-the sound of the instruments and the singer's voice. A poem-if you just read the verses to yourself-you won't really feel what the poet felt when writing it because |
| I wrote it one day after listening to the same song over and over and over........I wrote this the same day I almost loved my mother. Enjoy. |
| the music isn't there. The word is nothing when it is seen-just letters-symbols with shapes. But when put together by someone trying to explain their feelings-to figure out their lives with words-simple words-nothing-they put their own music in them and it brings meaning to them. The writer understands them but others who follow behind can only admire or hate and add a piece of themselves to it. They won't feel the music the way the writer or singer did. They won't understand. They will just see words without a voice to give them meaning. Nothing but words-no music to sweeten or singe the heart and mind with its beauty-and this is like a soul without a body.......When I read the work of another poet or hear an awesome song I can only barely grasp just a whisper of their being-what they felt and were and hated or loved when they took the pen and scarred the paper with their life......when I read them or hear them it is like grabbing a handful of smoke....I don't fully understand it even though I long to with everything in me.........I add my own meaning to it and so I realize that no one will ever understand my own work and it leaves me with an empty smile. I love days like this when I can see things in my head......... (C) Copyright of [[HemorRage]] |

| A Love Sought But Not Found |
| You see the shadow of a girl Avoiding eye contact Never seeing inside me My pain My hate My tears I am an empty carcass Merely walking through your perfect world Moving quietly, touching nothing Disturbing none of your possessions You should have looked again Closer As I vanish, leaving you Knowing you won't remember me Not even think twice about my presence I force an empty smile Tallying one more soul on my list Who will never know me Never love me Never look me in the eyes And still I remain silent I will find someone One day Who will be invisible with me To run and dance with solemnly Through life's graveyards And to see.

| Thoughts About Beauty |
|
| You should never use your beauty against yourself Doing so will jeopardize your chances for love and happiness You will question your life And find no reason in it Beauty is distributed in order to remain perfect- Maintained to gain wisdom Betray your gift And you will be abandoned Alone with no purpose Keep these words in mind And close to heart For they are true.
