ALONE

I'm all alone
to wonder why
he left me here
alone to die

I didn't know
how he thought
If I had
I could have fought

I could've been
much more to him
but now my world
is getting dim

I cannot see
I cannot hear
I'm dying here
alone in fear

I'll soon be forgotten
and gone as well
so what I know
I cannot tell

All I was
I cannot be
all because
I could not see
Fairigirl

THOUGHT

Air,Earth,
You,I
Together will serch the sky
For Love, For Peace
In dreams that will never cease.
Yoakum from USA

YOU AND I

My world you are,
my love extreme.
Depth I've never known.
The way you look at me,
your eyes deep.
Stay up all night
romance, love,
conversation.
Asleep I fall
In your arms,
safe, warm, content.
You buy me roses for
no reason at all,
call me to say "I love you."
Cologne on my pillow,
I miss you when your gone.
We share memories
past, present.
Always there for me,
you give me strength, support,
meaning to my life.
Together forever we'll be.

STOLEN INNOCENTS

Innocent little boy,
loving and sweet,
plays baseball,
rides his bike,
plays with other children.
Growing up in this big world.
He looks for guidance in every way,
trusting everyone he knows,
wanting to be loved and protected.
To learn, explore
what life's all about.

Easily manipulated
unaware of deceit,
betrayed by someone he knew.
Once thought to be a pal.
"Don't tell," he said,
"you won't be my friend anymore."
His innocents was taken
never to be regained.
Unable to trust again,
his little spirit broken.

I catch this monster
hurting my child.
His mind warped
with perverse deeds.
Concerned for my child
I remove him from there.
My worst fears confirmed.

So protective I am,
always watching over him,
how could this happen?
My world fell apart.
A rug pulled from under me.
I failed to protect him.
A crushing pain inside me
stabbing my heart,
I can hardly breath.
I can't bare this.
I don't want to be here,
what's the point anymore?

I have to go on for him.
We all need help
through this.
Much hatred inside me
it's consuming me
anger fills my soul.
I wish death upon this monster.
His freedom gone for now.
I'm sure not long enough.
He will answer to God someday.
At one point, I thought it be me.

These irrational thoughts will pass
for my child needs me.
I pray God hears my prayers,
"help us get through this Lord."
One day at a time
we'll put the pieces of our lives
back together again.

I MISS...

I miss your warm embrace
I miss the smile on your face
I miss your arms so smooth and strong
But most of all......
I miss our love that somehow went wrong!
Lori from USA

I AM WHO I AM

I cannot change what was meant to be
and I cannot excpect you to see me differently.

things that I say and things that I do
are all up me, not up to you.

God made me this way, so I do what I can
you are what you are and I am what I am.

I have my talents and I have my goals
which makes me feel special and makes me feel whole.

You take that away and life would be pure depression,
sometime on this earth we all need that attention.

I love you for who you are, that's why you are my man,
and you should love me for me because I am who I am.
POET from USA

TAKE MY ADVICE

Kisses are habits
Love is a game
Boys get the pleasure
Girls get the blame
He tells you he loves you
You think its true
Your stomach starts to swell
He says, "To the hell with you!"
You may think I'm a fool
but take my advice
Don't become a mother
until you're a wife
6 minutes of pleasure
9 months of pain
3 days in the hospital
A baby to name
His father is a bastard
His mother is a whore
None of this wouldn't happen
If the condom hadn't tore

MISSING YOU

I remember that day
that you looked into my eyes
and confessed the love
that you could no longer hide

That day when all my troubles
went sailing away
as your touch warmed my soul
and brightened all my days

Our love may seem impossible
to those who stand there looking in
for there's more than one kind of distance
to know where to begin

I sit here now,
longing and missing you
I remember the time we first met
when you whispered in my ear a soft, sweet
"I'll be seeing you."

From that day forth,
our love has progressed
into a pool of emotions
that my heart, they do caress

Now I sit here blue
as I think of all these times
because they make me realize
how much I truly need and miss you
Y.C. from USA

I SEE YOU REVISITED

If I could just write poetry, I�d put it all to verse,
and hope you�d see another man but not think that he�s worse.
I�d tell you how as I lay there, the memories flooded back,
like the tears that welled up in my eyes, leaving crystal tracks.

The colour of the furnishings, the corridors, the smell,
came rushing like a forest fire and returned me to that hell.
I tried so hard to understand, I looked but couldn�t find,
the horror that you must have felt but wasn�t on my mind.

For we all have our own demons, as we try to serve our God,
that�s why we are the way we are and not peas in a pod.
So, until we wear each others� shoes and walk a mile or two,
we�ll never know the others� fears, we�ll never have a clue.

But there�s one thing I do know, which I�ll say for what it�s worth,
what you see is what you get, there�s no secrets to unearth.
So don�t be fooled by how I look, �cause looks can be deceiving,
and often what you think you see is just what you�re believing.

Now I can�t help feeling angry, but you know I have just cause -
I�m losing all I worked for, sweating blood out through my pores.
If only I could make you see the distance that I feel,
is not in my imagination, but something very real.

I see it in their faces and feel it in their looks,
the innocence of children as it draws them to your hooks.
It doesn�t really matter if you say it isn�t so,
or that you didn�t mean it, or that�s how I made them grow.

For we each had our own role to play, the woman and the man,
the carer and the provider � it was our fate but not our plan.
And all while you resented me, because I wasn�t there,
did you ever think to ask yourself how I could be everywhere?

So with twenty twenty vision now, it�s easy to look back,
and dream of how things might have been - no grey, just white and black.
Yet even when I had the time, to wear a different hat.
the chasm in between us, had put an end to that.

Just like a train runs on its tracks and fish swim in the sea,
I can�t veer off and live a life that�s alien to me.
That�s not to say that I can�t be that consummate man,
if you only gave me reason, I wonder if you can?

SEARCHING

I look up, I look down, I look all around
I journey through many lands
I have witnessed much with eyes and soul
I have done much within my years

I wonder if it is time yet
Time to return to my home
Though still I am not sure
I am not sure, where is my home

I have travelled far and I travel still
For my life seems to be a journey
Yet still I look, yet still I search
For I have not found what I seek

For I do not know what I will find
For I do not even know what I want
Perhaps it has been there all along
Perhaps I just can't see it

You don't have to be blind to lose your way
For I do have eye's that work
It is my heart that leads me astray.
