Broken Hearted Prayer
Dear God,
I'm not having much fun,
My heart has been broken, again,
I know I'm the fool,
For falling so hard, so fast,
Why do I let myself go,
Be manipulated, mutilated,
And left alone,
Unprotected,
I wish I didn't have a care,
But I care, too much,
Too long,
Don't let go,
Please help me God,
To overcome my foolsh love,
My foolish hate,
Let me be safe,
Let me be loved

Because I Do
She didn't want to hold you or ever pull you close.
She never said you were the One she loved the most.
She wanted to tell you but she was scared.
She wanted to say she never cared.
She always told me, she never loved you.
But it breaks my heart because
I do...
-------------------------------------------
Because You Left
This place is not fun anymore
when I eat my last
chocolate and
no one asks for the half of it.
This place is not fun anymore
when I have remote
control and
no one is there to fight over it.
This place is not fun anymore
because you left this
place.
For me, you were the fun here.
--*--
TWISTED
twisted in a mind of rage,
calling out for those who love,
i want to speak, nothing to speak of,
sorrow that they gave,
no respect for those that gave,
cring out.....
nothing.....

zwerven
laat mij zwerven
zonder doel
zonder enige
hindernis
en soms dan
dat geluksgevoel
dirk versteeg s.r
--*--
Cold bodies of death,
lying,dying,decaying,
Dead
asleep in grave.
Todays way of life.
Crying,living,money,love,
isn't
life just great.
--*--
COME YE
Come ye...
Walk with me,
Bring your dreams,
And
watch with me
The rising moon,
Float with me
'Pon
lilied ponds,
Flee with me
To lands unseen,
Come with me
To the Never Never,
Where autumn'd
leaves
Never fall,
Where fields of clover
Never
fade,
Where winds blow
Yet the air is still,
Where
be you me
And me you be....
Eternally.
--*--
The color of the sky, blue
without a cloud
cool, distant, beautiful
My pen color
which writes poetic truths
for eyes to see.
Blue, a feeling -
pain that digs deep.
I have discovered blue.
in the color of her eyes
shiny, bright, unique
never to forget -
this loneliness
which hides in the night.
Cold
the sharp winter wind of
a blinding storm
all that's left
the end
all that I have
Is a tear.
It's all I can give
from me, to you -
Blue
--*--
So many things
Remain mysteries
For they never reach
The sun's warming light
That creatures of dark
Rip apart to pieces
And feed to the night.
--*--
Cold and clear rain upon the
icy
windowpane
Thunder, angry and blind
no one told me it
was here
I expected snow
Doors slamming in your face
not a peaceful day among
them
not one
who ever goes there
watch your step, your eyes, your
ears
You all know with your smiling unchanged
faces
know you never will
So smile as you laugh and that is your gift and that is
you
Oblivion is dark and hellish,
don't think I enjoy
it
--*--
INFINITE ZERO
You're a moron, a specter
A soul of feeble piety.
You poetess the knowledge of all
And nothing at the same time.
Nothing is part of all and you are
Living in a state of impossibility.
I would ask you to share your
Wisdom with me, but I wish not
To contain that ignorant knowledge.
I don't want to be trapped
In a dimension of infinite zero.
--*--
STEEL TOWN
after devouring fifteen
thousand men daily
the dragon stretches twelve miles
along the river
and sleeps fitfully at night
though its breath poisons our breath
and its belches bruise,
with a plum-rubescent glow,
the black horizon
still we would not murder this
sleeping brutus for
its fire bakes our daily bread
--*--
SHE ASKS
Are those your books on the shelf
Under the picture of three kids
Whose faces shine like apples?
She opens a page reads softly
Repeats what she reads
Says it sounds like a spot
Where her heart used to beat
Before she grew tits
Got pregnant at thirteen
By her dad unlucky
I guess
He tossed dice on her belly
Cries in November
Baby's birthday month
Hasn't seen baby boy
Heard him whimper once
She asks,
"Where is he
Now?"

Grayson ,Will and Galen 1996
It's like coming out of water
this love for you
the
first breath being sucked inside involuntarily
the skin
glistening in its new coat
the water holding me secure
over and over
though I tuck you in at night
and
pull the blankets up around you
with the safe knowledge
that you'll
be here in the morning
watching your waking
as if in slow motion you move
I am mesmerized by your channels
as you flow through
me
circumvent my safety net that I have cast wide
upon this water
and go beyond this harbor that is my home
as you
glide away from me with your smooth strokes
I will set
myself to welcome each wave as it returns
I will turn the
cool covers of your bed down
and pray the turbulent waters
calm
so that you will someday find this love that I have
known.
