More Poems
These next two poems are by a friend of mine named Tim Smith.
                         60 Dreams a Night
I've felt this way before, yet I cant remember when.
Because all I've ever held inside.
Shrouds all I've ever been.
Often im left alone and incomplete, my minds crooked path leaves me hollow.
I swore to myself I'd never open my eyes, but all the same the tears still flow.
All so temporary, all so fleating, yet worth every moment I'm awake.
Last night I was alive, last night I was loved, and to wake up today was a mistake.

                         
My New Shag Carpet
I woke up today with an itch on my leg,
"Maybe from some small insect or spider" I said.
But something wouldn't let it go. Something in the back of my head,
and thats when i decides to go back to bed.

As I recall nothing was different from the day before'
well, besides my new shag carpet that lay on the floor.
And I started to imagine my carpet was alive, that it was breathing, it was living......
Na I said as I pushed it out of my head with a sigh.

It was then when my new shag carpet said to me:
"You foolish kid, you were right, and you look about breakfast size to me!"
Thats when I knew the bump on my leg wasn't any bug bite at all,
but it was a carnivorous shag carpet bite, and one quite small.
"Well I think you'll be skipping breakfast today." I said in a frightened daze.
Then I flipped out my Zippo and set my shag carpet ablaze.
"No more shag carpet for me,I think I'll stick with carpets of fuzz."
I said as I stood where my shag carpet once was.

and yet another. . .
Falling
I sat in stillness longing to touch his arm
But he�s so far from me in too many ways
Opening my mouth could only cause harm
So these loved feelings I�m holding days

Looking in his eyes
Causes my defense to be locked
I�m saved when his hair falls in his eyes
And the emission is blocked

Every word I say is later or sooner said by him
Mom told me opposites attract
Should I base all of me on this whim
Is all of this a fleeting moment or is it fact

When will my mind finally be made
When will my mind be at ease
Will I see the sun or remain in the shade
Should I cut down all the trees

Does my madness make sense
Can my perplexity be perfected
Why does this boy make me tense
Why has he been selected
