My Poetry


My Poetry!

Destiny:
Love is a many slepdored thing,
so they say
I wouldn't know
it's never come my way
Thoughts of you
come everyday
But you send no love
this much is true
'cause you're not mine
and you're not free
Besides...
that's not the way you think of me
She'll live forever
in your heart
And at your side
she'll always be
As I watch your love
from the outside
Looking in
I'll still be your friend
Forced to abide
the boundries
of my destiny.
All The While:
He searches for love in a girl
on a street corner
She patiently waits for an end
at the foot of a bed
And all the while...
I stand alone

She stares at the celing and hopes
that dreams come true
He looks for an answer
on a book shelf
And all the while...
I stand alone

He checks the time
while waiting for the bus
She attepts to gain
a higher knowledge
And all the while...
I stand alone
and watch from the shadows

Phantom:
In the night, I see you.
You float into my dreams
and tempt me to believe
I want to call out to you,
but you steal my voice.

In the day, I search for you.
You show me a could be life
much better than my own
I want to reach out for you
but you are not there

I think of you,
   when my mind has nowhere else to wander
   when the day grows longer
   and the hours seem to short to notice,
And wish you were here.

What If:
If I became just like you,
Would you admire me?
And if you became like me,
Would I like you more?

If we became the same,
would we join together?
Or would we hate oursleves
And dispise what we'd become?

Would you pollute my mind?
Would I open yours?
Will we ever get close
enough to find out?
Perhaps not, but your
smile is enough for me.

Web:
A stray line
    creates a masterpiece
An awkward stitch
    sets a style
An unsaid word
    breaks a civilization

A second world
    creates a third
A random sound
    sets a code
A new idea
    breaks down a wall

A kind act
    creates a friendship
A chance encounter
    sets a rumor
A jealous thought
    breaks a nation

In the end
    It all comes together
    And weaves a web.

Sleeping through a Daydream:
The world swirls around me
As if in a memory
With light in beams
Sleeping through a Daydream

The colors go on forever
All the while they mix together
Neverending as they seem
Sleeping through a Daydream

Leaves and vines
That intertwine
In the light they gleam
Sleeping throught a Daydream

Fly:
I wish that I could be
    A fly, on the wall
Just so I could see
   What you do when you�re away

Argue that you�re always right
    Never wrong, or mistaken
And never think it might
   Be you and not them

Oh! If only to be that fly
   To see your actions
   And watch your every move
Then maybe, by the by
   I could understand
    Your motives

Colorblind:
Lonley in a sea of people
Tired in the midst of a sugar high
I ignore thier faces
As I slowly walk by

Too small to be noticed
Not loud enought to be heard
Dreading all eternatiy
As I watch a flying bird

Sruggling to keep afloat
I drown in shallow water
Pushed down by other people
As I wonder why I bother

Hopelessly falling into the world
I get no help from others
It's nothing for one and one for nothing
In a black and white world of colors

Candyland:
Blue and Red
Purple and Green
Look around
    to find candy-cane trees

A river of chocolate
A milk-way of stars
A glass elevator
   will help you go far

A beautiful world of children
That exists only in dreams
Where everything and nothing
   is as it seems

Whindy Road:
Sometimes I can't roll with the punches
And I'm left bleeding one the floor
The harsh realites set in
That you're walking out the door
Hand-in-Hand with my friend

My loneliness won't be cured by you
I'm begining to think it never will
No one returns my affection
And I'm left alone, still
Waiting for my so-called prince charming

I wish I hadn't loved you first
Maybe the pain would've been less
This is the saddest part of our whindy road
Where I turn away, and you never know
That I cared...

My Everlasting Love:
This is Chrismas number two
that I've spent without you
Surely you must know
how I miss you so
Your laughter and warm embrace
the smile always on your face
Images that dance through my mind
during this festive time
So I'll think of you, while wishing good cheer
And hope that you are near
watching from above
my everlasting love
I am:
I am
   a puzzle, broken
   apart by failure
   and remorse

I am
   a beaded bracelet,
   made with flaws, yet
   strangely beautiful

I am
   a rag doll,
   manipulated by the
   strings of social status

I am
   myself, destined
   to remain here
   for all eternity

Watch and Wonder:
From my pearch,
the steaple of the church
I'll watch the lives go by
and my hot chocolate steam rise
The mulit-colored houses
that line the street
The beat-up cars pass
or get dints as they park
I look out onto the world
and think of you
How did we get here?
How long will we last?
... I'll just sip my hot chocolate
and let it all come to pass.
Lost:
I'm lost in a sea of faces
I can't find myself anymore
There are too many random places
Where people like to hide

I'm suffocating in the crowd
I can't be myself anymore
Substitute morals are ringing too loud
And goodness is no longer heard

I'm forced to realize reality
I don't know myself anymore
Nothing is the way it used to be
And I'm left alone with my thoughts

Camp:
A sunday walk, hand in hand
In a recently forgotten land
A hike along a waterfall
from here you can see it all
Picking wild flowers
We sit for hours
And skip stones
As the river groans
In the night we build a camp
The fire as our only light
And roast marshmallows at the tip of flames
Until the morning came
Follow:
Follow the leader
Join the parade
Be a conformist
Keep quiet, Get Paid

Fly away
Get shot down
It's a circle
'Round and 'round

Stay together
Break apart
Put back the pieces
This life's an art

Ice Queen:
There was once a girl I knew,
   sort of like you
   burned every bridge she touched
   and didn't care about much

She had been a queen in a past life
   now turned cold with strife
   once fully accepted
   now completely rejected

I wanted to break our aquanitance
   for she tried my patience
   and to put her out of my mind
   would be the greatest thing of all time

I am glad that she is gone
   now I can sing a happy song
   and recognize her in you
   that lonely girl that I once knew

Until it is my time:
I saw something today
That made me think of you
And it made me cry
A thing I never do

Sometimes I miss you so much
I want to kill myself
Just so I can see you
But then there'd be nothing left

So I'll try to be content
Having only memories in my mind
Seeing you only in dreams
Until it is my time

Nothing Important (about one day):
Don't cry about things you can't change
   or schedules that can't be rearranged
It'll just give you a headache
   without helping the heartache
But the tears still fall
   bitter and full of salt
About the things we wish could be
   and the things we never wanted
What can I say?
   that's life, c'est la vie
There's nothing important about one day
   it's just like the one before and the next
You long for something new
   You long for love, for fire in your spirit
But passion hasn't gotten around to you
   And your dreams are slipping away
For now, go to sleep
   tomorrow is another page
      that might not be filled with so much sorrow
Lost and Found:
We talked for hours, just like we used to
before we tried to take it further
and new emotions got in the way

I'd wondered where the boy I loved had gone
Turns out, he was there all along
I was just too bitter to see

But there you were, telling me things few knew
showing me things that are new
reminding me of your dreams

For so long, I'd forgotten who you were
tonight, you touched my core
and our goodnight hug was as it should be
between friends, yet so much more

Syrup:
I turn around
   to find myself bleeding
I've shot myself in the foot again
Missed my chance
   opened my big mouth
   and swallowed my leg
To stop the syrup that was running onto the floor

I bend down
   to find my heart on the ground
      bruised and torn
I run my fingers through the gooey mess
   realizing what a fool I've been
   how I could have prevented this

I walk away
   to wait for the next one
      that's passing me by as we speak
I've set myself up for wounding again
   in this cycle that will never end

Do we want, what we really want
   or is it only for the chase
   to catch then throw away
The "what if's" would drive me mad
   if I didn't try
   incessantly asking me why
But it's the why that has me troubled
   always thinking of you
   is this lust, or love that's true
Awaiting yet another day
   to pass
   to see if whatever this is... will last
Dream:
Sometimes all we can do is dream
   Cause there's nothing else to do
   Dream the night away
   Dreaming that dreams come true
Sometimes all we can do is wonder
   Is life really as it seems
   Or is there something behind the curtain
   That can only be found in dreams
Years:
First is the white year
where everything fits
each little part
each little bit

Then is the gray year
where everything blurs
everything's confusing and
everything turns

Next is the black year
where everything's dark
drop many tears
drop the bad mark

Finally is the brilliant year
where everything fades,
explodes and goes away
Friendships once unbreakable break
And no one knows the future

Audra's Song:
I'm in love but you don't know
   how my heart flutters when you call my name
   and my smile brightens at the thought of you
   I think our souls are the same
   Your glance makes me glow
But you don't want my lipglossed kiss
   or the comfort of my arms
   You seek out all the other girls
   with their flirtatious charms
   that you just can't resist
I'm tired of reading the same signs
   over and over again
  I'll be your best friend
   but never your girlfriend
  Even though I want you
   to be mine

Sit at the window, watch the birds fly:
Sit at the window, watch the birds fly
   sadness comes when none are in view
   I wish to be a bird, then this old soul could fly away
   this old soul could be free
Sit at the window, watch the birds fly
   gliding through the air, over the clouds
   I think about the world, longing for answers
   answers to questions I'm too afraid to ask
Sit at the window, watch the birds fly
   not a care in the world
   I wish I could be happy like them
   when will I be happy like them?
   When will I be free so I can fly?

The Light Within:
There is a light that shines in you
   If only you could see
   The many lives you touch
   How wonderful you can be
Your smile can cure
   the darkest days
   With joy that beams
   like golden rays
I pray that you will see the truth
   The love you share with all
   The love that I give to you
   So you can never fall

What I Want:
I just want an arm around my waist
   to make me feel small
And a kiss on my lips
   that will make me swoon

I want to love with all my soul
   being loved back with the same intensity
To see a smile in the eyes
   telling me that I'm the only one

I just want happiness
   I'm tired of being in pain
I want to know that you're worth it
   is that too much to ask?

still want more? click herePoetry page 2

War: by Lauren
Her features are small and delicate.
She is all the radiance of innocence.
Her tears are pure and cleansing.
She sits alone.
Her crying eyes only soak her face, never draining her of the pain.
The killing surrounds her, the shrill sirens, the massive explosions, the guns, the bombs.
There is only fire.
Millions of blacks and grays charge the solemn sky, dark as ink.
Panic and confusion stir rapidly everywhere, like a tornado destroying every cause, every child, everything worth living for
All human decency is lost.
All patriotism, ruined and redefined to justify the lies and murder.
To justify the tears and agony, and the pain of the families being brutally torn apart by the jaws of evil.
The children watch, crying.
Their clothing stained with blood.
Chaotic, Frantic, Shocking, Horrifying.
It is war.
She tried to save them but it is too late.
She is peace.
She is lost.
She is gone.

Lies: by Alex
Find Friends, get along
Be happy and don�t let them see you cry
But wait, think strait and keep your mind on the task
Be here near, you think its all clear

Doors bang, what you don�t want to hang
To short, to late, TV, DVDs
Do you look good?
Are you too small, too tall?

Want the girl, sick of guys
They told you to think clean, don�t be mean
Look up, look down, don�t stop now
Until you have found me, yourself, or someone else

Birds and the bees, houses in trees
Reading, writing, and arithmetic
How you feel, getting sick?
From birth is life, and from life comes death

Having fun, it�s almost done
Remember what is what and who is who
Beauty fades, be anything you want
And remember there is someone for everyone

I�ll leave you with this
Life has no script, damned if you do
Damned if you don�t, Wait and it wont come
Act and you may find that the lies live in the eyes of truth.
