| (Cyrrius wrote these) Death Death is a splendorous wonder with a pale white face and a laugh that mocks thunder He rides on a stallion eyes filled with fire riding through towns with a burning desire He takes each of us one by one To a place with no moon Nor rising sun His task is not random It has already been planned His only goal to leave the world unmanned He shows no mercy He has no fear He thrives on taking us away from here If you think you can run I bid you please try I promise you though, you too shall die There is no hope Do not try to hide Death will find you where ever you lie As for me, I'm waiting counting the days till Death comes and life begins to fade Until that day I will live without fear Oh wait, what's that, I guess Death is here. Just Words It was a warm spring day, when I found you I saw your eyes, sparkling blue I noticed your hair, blonde as could be I couldn't help but notice the way you looked at me I stopped and said, "Hi, how are you" You smiled and replied, "I'm fine thank you" I sat beside you, heart racing and all Feeling like I had just run into a wall You said, "Calm down, you're doing fine" After that moment, I couldn't get you out of my mind We parted that evening to head our seperate ways I tried to convince myself I wouldn't call you for a few days That very same night I called you at home You said you were bored and all alone So I came over to keep you from feeling blue That was the night that I fell in love with you Keith Anthony Graham Copyright �2003 Keith Anthony Graham Rage Rage, fury, turmoil, rolled into a human vessel...one can ask, why do you have so much hate and my response would be, i'm tired of this existence, twisted and tainted by fate in a normal business day having to deal with those who shouldn't exist then coming home to a woman with a twist why should I have to smile when all I see is red would you try to cheer yourself up when those around you are better off dead? would you walk around sharing a fake smile or would you show your true self and avoid denile? I know my path and the route I would take, I would introduce this world to a whole new hate I would bring wrath like no other could produce, i would nuke the world and drink from the juice afflictions cast upon many nations, trouble, despair and death on many news stations the world would be brought to its knees just to beg for mercy over all the seas. Keith Anthony Graham Copyright �2003 Keith Anthony Graham Untitled Pardon me ma'am, may I sit here, is how our conversation began with her reply, why yes you may, no longer did I stand. I ordered a cup of coffee knowing not what to say so I sat quiet for a while and she looked at me in dismay She said, I think I know you it is a memory my heart does not regret strangely enough sir I feel as though we have already met We sat and talked for hours not aware of what was going on fate worked it's magic on us and we've been married for twenty strong.

| (Texas_redneckette aka Becky wrote this) Perhaps I should preface this poem with some background information. One of my former cheerleaders, a seventeen year old high school junior, died as a result of injuries sustained in a one vehicle accident last week. Anyone who ever met Cassie soon realized that she was on of the most alive and real people in the world. She always had a ready smile and kind words for anyone who was around. She wasn't one of those kids who only talked to the "cool" people. She was a trend-setter, not a follower. Everyone who knew Cassie, loved her. Her little sister is a member of my cheer squad this year. I just hope and pray that God will give me the strength to be there for Emma when she needs me. She told the school counselor to go away. Said when the time was right she'd come to me to talk. Your prayers for Cassie's family, my Emma, and me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for letting me share my tribute to Cassie, which also served as my therapy. Her future gleamed bright like a neon sign. She had it all. She was gonna� be fine. Her chance at failure was minutely small. She was talented, beautiful, and smart. She was always full of cheer. She held a place in everyone�s heart, And could make even the saddest person grin from ear to ear. Then, one beautiful October day, Her neon sign burned out, Because God decided to take her away. We all will miss her; there is no doubt. Cassie we love you More than you know. Cassie, we miss you More than words can show. |

Liquid Messiah? Mornings are bad. Coffee is fuel. I want diesel powered superetic sludge; carbonizing carburetor cleaner in a mug. You have youth, maybe; I have coffee. Put down that creamer and back away slowly. -Napalm_Bomb_X |
