Only Me
Every time I see you
I see your twinkling eyes
That bring out the light
In those dark and weary skies
And every time you pass
It's like you can't see me
But I know one time soon
It's only me that you will see
Now just the other day
you stopped to talk to me
and even now I know
It's not me that you can see
Maybe you will learn
to look further you can see
and when it comes to love
it's only me that you will see
---------------------------------------------------------
i grow tired
of playing pretend
i feel empty
in pursuing your fullness
i am a cheater
by your rules
i draw my strength
from your fainting weakness
@---^--->Pixie
---------------------------------------------------------
how can you be content
with your play-acting of someone else
how can you sit there
being the thousands of personalities you aren't
how can you accuse me of being false
when you have no mind to judge, or accuse me with
not one thing of you is your own
@---^--->Pixie
---------------------------------------------------------
I'm alone in my crowd
thinking my own way
you, "people" flock to the new
while i just go along for the ride
am i worse for knowing you machine/people?
for trying as you do to fit in?
to avoid persecution?
i say "come, and let's break the mold!"
@---^--->Pixie
---------------------------------------------------------
"Elizabeth"
Hello, i've broken the window to my house
Everything leaks in
Look i am barefoot and surrounded by
Pieces of glass, and i can't move
My feet are lacerated and; worn
Everywhere i step cuts deeper

"A Statue Has No Soul"
By: R. D. McManes
Standing all alone
Cast image of stone
Chiseled
granite face
Not a hair out of place
Perfect image of man
Depicted as best man can
Made
of solid granite rock
A place where pigeons flock
Cold marble eyes
Stare cross empty skies
Waiting
for time's end
For it has no soul to mend
---------------------------------------------------------
Something I can never have is at my reach,
but I am astonish by the love I see.
A virgin to these many sights,
I wish I could touch me like that again.
Very graceful are her moves,
I cherish her every word.
And something? Someone? Is there that should not be.
---------------------------------------------------------
I could write these words forever
Collapsing in my
mind
And bring a new death
Every time I pick up a
pen.
But somehow I feel remorse
An uncertain guilt
For
the days I let slip away
Without recording their lovely
truth.
And as I've recognized
How these moments
Are gone
the moment they arrived,
I've underestimated their
power.
Still, I've come to learn
That though these
words
Were not written so eloquently,
I still have the
power to feel them.
---------------------------------------------------------
pinkish purple butttercup
leaving city air
like the brackish water sings
through her does it tear
painfully sweet
rapid thoughts
many times thoughts rumble forth
like the raging river
and the hapless little buttercup
colorfully wronged
like the earth surrounding her
many times over, wronged
adulterated by her own self
hapless little buttercup

An Existential Babbler Ponders the Metaphysical Aspects of the Present Moment in a Past Romance
by Ron Sparks
It was a place you couldn't see
In a time I had invented
With a feeling you wouldn't know
When I imagined you and me
ronsparks@webtv.net
---------------------------------------------------------
Change
Everyday was the same day.
Everyday was another day.
It was to and fro, here and there,
Never changing, and never any cares.
Routines were more innate than learned
Never to be broken nor disturb.
I pray for change all through the night until the light of day.
Then one day change came and I was afraid.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Falls
There, it stands.
I feel the flow of the wind,
running through my body.
It's as though I am part of
the falls.
It's as though they are pulling me closer.
Then, for one brief moment,
I get the strength to pull
back.
The strength to escape the falls' rage,
The
chance to be free.
But the I realize...
It's not the falls, it's me.
I
can never be somewhere I don't want to be...
Then, I fall.
And everything is all over.
---------------------------------------------------------
My Note
I have had the feel
of the very worst of
anguishes,
of sadness dreadfully unbearable,
and
sufferings transcendent,
the wound might be for ever
If then, by some merit of virtue in my soul
I do in
the Lord's will deserve paradise hereafter
will anything
wipe fresh the injury
can anything purge so deadly a
stain?

Taimur Awan

The Joys Of Life
Oh! What a joy
To see the Birth of a child
To see
his hands and feet
To the meek and the mild
Oh! What a Joy
To see the Sun rise
To see that
beautiful wonder
With our own eyes.
I thank you Lord
Even with the strife
Thank you,
Thank you,
For the joys of life.
--------------------------------------------------------
Sky
Never ending, spinning around in circles all day long.
Round and round you spin until the end,
then come back again.
Looking at you I become lost.
Seeing the black emptiness within.
Like looking at a magical kingdom.
Blazing balls of light,
Sparkiling into the darkness.
---------------------------------------------------------
Morning Light
A dream is a peaceful thing.
Sending messages from some unknown place.
But what is more peaceful is complete nothingness.
Sometimes disturbing can be the first light you see in the morning.
Or maybe,
it's just as peaceful.
It's your place, your time, to be alone.
Or maybe,
it just depends on how you feel.
If you're happy, it's peaceful.
Sad, it's disturbing.
Find your place,
for the morning light is what you want it to be.
Written by: Samantha Cuypers
---------------------------------------------------------
-Glare-
I've picked up your framed picture,
And seen my reflection in the glass.
I stared at you and myself
At the same time.
I saw your face in my eye.
I've never seen us so "one",
Yet I've never felt so far apart.
But it's only a picture.
My loneliness weakens me,
And I have to set it back down.
I am again...without you.
---------------------------------------------------------
A NEW FRIEND
Today the pain has
begun
As sure as the day,
assuring as the sun
Unlike you pain is here
to stay
At least I can rely on it
to be here day after day
Everything I had I gave
to you
And now you left me
for somebody new
---------------------------------------------------------
Every morning
I get up
Everyday
I exist
Every night
I go to sleep
Every morning
I get up
Everyday
I exist
Every night
I go to sleep
morning
noon
night
I exist
Any questions?

Updated February 21, 1998
I practiced traveling
through the woods at night
not a footprint, not a sound
to a quiet place inside
the sigh of a river
blood rushing my veins
the song of a tree
dancing in my lungs
peaceful and safe
and alone.
Until you called
with a whisper
teasing my soul
tempting my heart
fisher of dreams
make me tremble.
---------------------------------------------------------
(untitled)
Sometimes I wish,
That I had wings.
Don't tell me
that I do,
Sometimes I need someone
To be as down as
me.
Hide me,
Inside your picture book life.
Hold me
tight,
In your arms of wealth.
I need you,
I love you.
You make me feel
right,
Like I'm not the Anti-Christ.
You validate my
pain,
Sell it back to me.
I love you,
I need you,
I want you.
I'll die
without you.
I'd kill myself.
---------------------------------------------------------
If to be born
Is to die.
And to die
Is to suffer.
And living
Is also to suffer.
What is the
difference?
And how do you
decide to
live or
die?
Who cares?
--------------------------------------------------------
TORN
Torn between two people,
not able to see the happiness
that exists somewhere else.
All it seems to be is a never ending fight.
All that matters is getting back at one another.
I am torn.
---------------------------------------------------------
Wind Dancer
Her long gown,
Flowing,
As though nothing else
exists.
Her long brown hair,
Dancing in the wind,
As though
it's a bird.
Her feet,
moving swiftly across the ground,
as
though they're floating in the clouds.
And the wind dancer,
She sings her sweet
song,
Waiting, for the next swift breeze to come...
---------------------------------------------------------
He Had That Look In His Eyes
The moment he looked at me that way,
I knew we were
meant to be...
When she told me him and I would be cute,
I knew we
were meant to be...
While we were making our stupid jokes,
I knew we were
meant to be...
All that time,
He had that look in his eyes...
The
one that says I love you...
The one that burns love into
your heart...
Then, there's no turning back...
He'll always have
that look in his eye.
---------------------------------------------------------
I take my place in a vastness
Left behind
By the slayers of time & space
In a first world the electronically liberated
Have slandered into 'necessity.'
Here cold water is hand-stroked
From deep wells,
Here squirrels sing across a canopy
Of high branches.
Lost, discarded, left behind
By the joys of abbreviation
I live the longhand of bucket & firewood,
Of broom straw & walking.
Craig Steiger
---------------------------------------------------------
Here I Stand...
Here I stand alone...
Over a cliff
Over a mountain top
Under a storm
Under the rain
Against the wind
Against my face--
I am alone.
Here I stand crying...
For your love
For your touch
Above your body
Above the lust
In your heart
In your soul
I am crying.
By Ben Sanchez (Unfinished version.)

SECRET NIGHT
Once while you were
Sleeping deep
I crept across the
Floor.
I dared not interrupt
Your sleep
And tip-toed toward the
Door.
I stepped across the
Shadows,
And out into the night.
I played amidst the
Shining snows
Beneath a beam of light.
In rushed a happy memory
Of days when I was young.
An essence of sweet purity
In air of winter hung
A secret smile on my lips
I melted with old
Innocence.
---------------------------------------------------------
Send me a canary through metric spaces surrendering as
silver.
Send me a butterfly, gauze-like paper blue, beside
sun slanting
and I shall send you a bleeding soul
renewed.
I shall give you 15 disciplines of laughter while astride
a tall, white horse
for you have cast the cage away
and
let
your
wild love fly to me
---------------------------------------------------------
Updated February 17th
My hunger is quenched by my consumption;
You give me this so that I may enjoy;
Do you not expect that I should feed my emptiness?
Yet through your labor my heart must so remain;
like hunger I would to create;
but on me you bestow the urge and the law.
If this is to enjoy then by thy spirit condone,
but if not then take from me the hunger
and by take the entrapping hypocrisy
---------------------------------------------------------
Day of wrath,
Doom impeding;
David's word with Sybil's blending.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me,
Be interceding;
When the just are mercy needing.

"Promises"
As i sit here waiting for a promise to be kept, i ask, "Is he thinking of me?"
No one answers.
I reply to myself, "More than likely.....no."
As i lay here expecting another promise to be broken, i ask, "Why does he hurt me like this?"
No one answers.
I reply to myself, "I don't know....but he promised he wouldn't anymore."

She still doesn't believe me
Over Burger King I reminded her
that Valentines needed to be signed
once home and bathed.
That quizzical-roll-her-eyes-what's-

back at me.
Why does everyone call it ValenTINES?
TINES?
Because that's what it's called,
after Saint Valentine.
No it's not. It's ValenTIMES.
I don't know why everyone says TINES. . .

WRITER
Elongated dreams,
Stretched to size.
Strong metal beams,
Mesmerized.
Eyes of wisdom,
Glinting gold.
A mind of a baby,
Rather old.
Fingers like vines,
Rapping around silk.
Writing his rhymes,
Drinking his milk.

A Simple Wish
Is a wish simple if you make it simple?
Or is it like
the snake?
Does it nag at you as you wonder if it's going
to come true?
Is it peaceful at first?
Does that peace
get destroyed as you come too near?
Or, is it more like a love-me-not?
You know it
will or it won't come true.
When you get to the end,
It
sometimes does,
and it sometimes doesn't.
Is a wish simple if you make it simple?
It all depends
on how you define,
A simple wish.
---------------------------------------------------------
Want to die that or cry
see the wind feel the sky
grab the air breathe the sea
not for you but yes for me
---------------------------------------------------------
My arms so weak as weak as a child
My is so lost my brain beguiled
my feet they go but the rest of me stays
for i will follow you for the rest of my days
---------------------------------------------------------
but yet our soles will stay together
yet both our
hearts will beat forever
for it is not distance that keeps us apart
for it is
time and time only
---------------------------------------------------------
There is a path to follow, which way do I go?
I do not know.
Elders cry for an ear and shout for respect.
Who is in control?
Friends smile and say all right, meaning the contrary.
What kind of people are these?
Support is what is needed on this gloomy jaunt.
Down on your knees!
I will roam the way in which I choose, and heed to some advice.
For my heart flows with an enlightening blood,
I will write!
---------------------------------------------------------
Looking out of a hotel window
Feeling sure of what is to be
Waiting for the inevitable
The inevitable is sure to come to me
Yes those who wait for misfortune
Are the ones that it attacks
But those who fight to attract the light
Have fortune guarding their backs
---------------------------------------------------------
insanity is psychosis, an aberration in the mind
is my harsh world really that hard to find
taking advantage of time is abominable and severe
over and over i memorize my fear
my own eyes cannot force induction
life will end in helpless abduction
can we really know the worked, and all it contains
you ask for me and i come only when it rains
help me understand this harsh reality
me and you can obtain immortality...

Cyberlove
It was the love of computers
The thing that brought them together
There names are engraven in bits of data
True love blooms
Still they have not viewed each other
With their hearts only to guide them
Their love brought them together
But only cyberspace can keep them together
The End
---------------------------------------------------------
Love isn't perfect
I sketch a heart of painful love,
I darkens my soul,
and lifts my spirit,
I colour it in,
outside of the lines,
A match strikes,
And romance burns through me.
I touch up the lines,
And erase the mistakes,
But I can't get it perfect,
For no love is.

LET'S CALL HIM BOB...
This guy lets call him Bob so he does not know
no idea friend or foe....
That guy Bob I think he's cute but to tell him to his
face??
That would make me puke...
I know that was crude and even rude but to talk about it makes me flutter on my toes!!
So with my mind made up I'll give him up and I think that will be enough!!

Death knows the way, let him take your soul to a better place
The place were we are happy
The place were all is good
The place were everything is peaceful
The place that we all want to go to
Let death guide you to this utopia

OUTSIDER
Your perfect smile upon your face
It hides the world,
it hides disgrace
You know I see it, I see right
through
Your soul at last has come for you
And when you are alone and down
I feel your pain, I
wear your crown
You know by now that you can't
hide
Your soul's washed up in the morning tide
The boat of freedom's coming your way
Jump aboard,
leave today
The music will carry you down to the
sea
Where you'll love and be loved and feel happy and
free
---------------------------------------------------------
IN THE BORN OF SUNLIGHT
THE WATER WILL FADE TO FREEDOM
I CUT AWAY, I FALL AWAY
SHED BY LIVING GODS OF TEARS
DEATH COMES CLOSE TO FACEING ME
DARKNESS SMELLS THE FEAR I CRY.
---------------------------------------------------------
A Place Unfilled
A place unfilled lies in my heart
And grows empty when
we're apart
Each lonely day brings a lonely night
As I
await your call to make things right
A place unfilled lies within me
As I pray to God for
you, on my knee
His answers always stay the same
Sound
rings hollow as I cry your name
A place unfilled can be found
For love's heavy burden
to I am bound
Deep inside is where it will be
Deep
inside the heart of me
A place unfilled is what you will
see

This Stupid Poem
(This is a poem I wrote in LA
class)
By: Alex Horton
This is one stupid poem I do not want to write.
Now that I'm writing I don't feel quite so right.
Now that I'm almost done I begin to cheer,
but "Sorry you get an F" is all that i hear.
---------------------------------------------------------
First spring swallows
First spring swallows
dusk chasers of insect
shadows
and their own cries
So many dandelions
this rainy early spring
so many
little suns
February breeze
swaying tall pine tops
and white
boat sails
A golden eagle
disappearing slowly
in the golden
sunset
---------------------------------------------------------
Your beauty is deathly
Your innocence scares
me
Lifeless yet fearless
No feeling of happiness
Love left you dying
The moonlight left for
crying
Ghostly and peaceful
What you said I will never
know
Gray eyes that haunt me
Strangers that want
me
Grieving yet over you
The foolish things that we all
do
And now, now
The earth reclaims my heart
You found
your way
Out of the gray
and left me there to fall
apart
---------------------------------------------------------
My dad let me drive behind the wheels,
I press on the motor and the motor squeals,
I grab tightly to the steering wheel,
While driving, I hit a piece of steel,
The rubber black tires started to peel,
My dad kick me out with his heel,
I apologize and bend down to kneel,
but my dad had turned into a big fat seal,
Walking across the big black field.....

"A Canton of Condemned Love"
A rare and unique beauty
Amber. My muse
Eyes flashing brilliantly
Pale. Sensual. Vibrant
Her hair shines, shines like gold
Bask in her glow
Her smile captures you
Pulls you in
When she speaks, softly
It echoes in your breast
Quickens you
O, to brush my hand across her cheek
Comfort her
Praise her
Feel the softness of her hair
Out of reach. Forbidden.
Not to be
Unless I were he

A Poem
The Earth holds many secrets,
some, too wonderful to imagine.
Small things,
that only a child's mind can see the beauty in.
Large things,
some, too large to understand.
None of these things are unseen,
except to those who don't believe in them.
You could search for eternity,
but if you don't believe,
they won't be there,
but be fading,
into eternity,
searching,
for someone to believe,
to love,
to trust,
and to hope for tomorrow's sunshine.

Morning Tragedy
by Ron Sparks
the black is just there
waiting
like a void of darkness
trapped in a curvature of mass
within the realms of time and space
the white intrudes
creating a vortex
a whirlpool of conflict
leaving me in agony
realizing once again
I've put too much cream in my coffee

HAND OF GOD
An eerie sound
Of the angel's cries
As God
drops
His unmerciful
Hand of death.
They feel his wrath
As they angered him,
Challenged
him.
They will be meant to suffer,
As God drops his
unmerciful hand of death.
Into the hellfire they are sent,
To burn for
eternity
Oh, how they cry,
How they burn.
An eternal
nightmare
Of eternal torture.
This is the unmerciful
hand of God.
---------------------------------------------------------
Could I possibly be dreaming?
If it is so
please let me sleep
For this dream that I am having
Is
delightful beyond belief.
If it is my reality
Then I choose to let it set
in
For this reality that I have discovered
Is one which
I wish to begin.
When I touch your face will it crumble
Like an old
weathered stone?
For when I do touch your face I feel only
softness
And it reminds me of the truth I have always
known.
---------------------------------------------------------
I watch my tears
as I look in the mirror
my ending nears
and we're through
you said you loved me
and we'd always be together
now and forever
what happened to forever
so I did cheat once or twice
I paid my price
I've lost my mask
and forgiveness is all I ask
and if you truly did love me
I know you'd forgive me

WRONG WAY
Walking walking walking
Looking looking loo

Lonely
Human
companionship.
I thirst for it.
A foolish man
In a foolish world.
Greed and deception
have become my twin brethren
Lies and deceit
Blind me with anger
Anger, like lava.
vomit sprays from my teeth.
My, friends, drink freely
and laugh, and carouse
and sing wonderful songs
Crashing their mugs
And drinking of more
of what I provide
---------------------------------------------------------
there are ways to find your love
there are ways to find your love
like in your heartbeat one hears
like in your shining eyes I see
and your sweet mouth
full of love and words for me
there are ways to find all things
and so it is with love that sings
its shines on
like a little song
full of tender and care
emotions we both can share
and so there are ways to find love
but you can also find all tears
By Peter

I live in sadness
I drown in pain
I wallow in guilt
And still I refrain,
I hold in my glum
I sustain my ache
I maintain my remorse
But how much more can I take
No one can save me
So here's where I'll sit and dwell
Suffering in complete misery
In my own private hell
---------------------------------------------------------
i would have died to touch you...
to be with you
to be near you
to feel your hands
slide up my back
to feel you next to me
to share the same breath
to feel our lips collide
ooooh i would have died
--------------------------------------------------------
When I'm gone like yesterday
And when I'm high like heaven
When I'm dead like your soul
You'll notice i'm not there
You'll notice
---------------------------------------------------------
an endless deep blue sky sits empty
watching the world we're creating
unnoticed by the people
our lives slowly start disintegrating
working away at our future
piece by piece by piece
we tear apart our unity
and on a pool of blood we feast
we strip away our glory
we rip apart our pride
we massacre our achievements
and ignore the voice inside
no way to save us
so we'll just sit and dwell
only to find out to late
that we've created hell
---------------------------------------------------------
There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart
like you do
I could search for all eternity life
And
now there is none like you
A touch come from your hands
A felling come from my
heart
A smile shown on your face
Some lovely voices
came from your mouth
There is none like.....

I'll give up by S. Wu
I can feel myself giving up,
I can feel my tears
drying up.
Don't even know who I am,
Guess I'll give
up.
My soul is slipping away,
Look back as an angel,
On
yesterday.
When I was human,
I felt your plight.
Now that I'm
gone,
You're alone in your fight.
I'll pray for you up
here,
And send some angel's light.
I can feel myself giving up,
Long ago my tears dried
up.
Can't be human anymore,
Guess I'll give up,
And
be an angel.

Tree of love...
that grows in my backyard-
that blooms rosemary buds-
that carries the birds-
that sing sweet songs-
on a warm summer's day
---------------------------------------------------------
To touch
and feel
then withdraw
forward along each
in succession
following in thought
the path that leads
astray.
These are the footsteps
that I hear
here is the darkness
lit by
lightening synopses.
This is the ignorance
I fear
and long to hold
as fading being.
---------------------------------------------------------
Jade eyes rest on tapered mounts
of green angelic hue
tangerine and lemon twisted
into shapes of you
Soft feet pad across the bricks
sun dried sandy morning
falling fronds and salmon sunsets
but in it all- a warning

infinity breaks
like a cresting wave
the radar shakes
and smells for other signs of life

Love takes everything,
all your courage, strength and heart.
My love gives everything.
Hoping we will never part.
I have seen you often,
making promises you don't keep.
This time, baby, the hill ain't so steep.
So stop and think, honey, it's time you were mine,
You got to keep your promises,
Baby, just this time.

Hang on to your love
for it makes you strong
Next time you feel weak
And the strength you seek
will be found in the eyes of me
Clear conscience is all you'll see
Don't give up and don't ever choose
It isn't a choice, it's a gift some of us loose
Hang on, no matter the fight
In the end it all works out right
Defend what is true
Show and give all the best inside of you!

Another passing day
Which holds me near
It pulls me closer
To my one fear
I'm not sure of what to do
For i can't change time
Neither can i say
I know you are mine
But if i had but one wish
To surely come true
I'd ask the stars above
To please, keep me near you!

THE HEARTACHE AND TEARS
FROM THE DAYS OF OUR PAST
ARISING FROM OUR FEARS
FROM THE MEMORIES THAT LAST
THE ENDLESS NIGHTS ALONE
FROM TWO PEOPLE TOO PROUD
WILL FIND US ON OUR OWN
FROM THE CONFUSION TOO LOUD
THE INSECURITIES WE FACE
FROM WITHIN OUR HEARTS
THE LACK OF TRUST IN OUR PLACE
FROM NOT KNOWING OUR PARTS
I LOVE YOU DAVID FOREVER, KRYSTAL (2/6/98)
---------------------------------------------------------
I MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD
AND I PROBABLY DON'T DO THE THINGS I COULD
IN FACT, I MAY LET YOU DOWN IN MANY WAYS
DISAPPOINT YOU IN THE THINGS I MIGHT SAY
WITHOUT FAULTS I AM NOT ME, I AM NOT RIGHT
YOU MAY BE DREAMING OF BETTER IN YOUR NIGHTS
BUT FOR WHAT I AM NOT, AND FOR WHAT I AM
LOVE ME FOR ME, AND YOU'LL COME OUT A MAN
IT'S WHEN YOU STOP TRYING SO VERY HARD TO CHANGE
THAT YOU'LL ACCEPT ME WITHOUT PRE-ARRANGED!!!
KRYSTAL AND DAVID, TOGETHER FOREVER!!!

STRANGER
Hey stranger,
Why did I ever fall in love with you?
After all,
I hardly know anything about you.
Oh you don't know
How hard I try to hide my feelings from you.
But these damn eyes,
revealed my love to you.
Oh the things
I wanted to say to you.
But it just
Stayed in my heart and never came out.
Hey stranger,
Tell me, Tell me, why did I ever fall in love with you
---------------------------------------------------------
Now to Then
To live is to die
as to die is to experience
To love is to hate
as to hate is to be unaware
To cherish is to pity
to pity me no longer
>From child to adult
the adult with a childish mind
---------------------------------------------------------
Is it Love?
Is it love when you think
about a boy everyday?
Is it love when you see a boy
and don't know what to say?
Is it love when you get scared
to call him on the phone?
Is it love when you cry about
him when your alone?
Is it love?
---------------------------------------------------------
Watching my dreams
I will just sit here and watch my dreams fly by .
I cant grab them now for i am to young so i have to sit and wait .
My dreams are important but not as important as they will be
So i will wait and hold on to my dreams.
And i shall catch them when they need to be succeeded.
--------------------------------------------------------
Aliens
There once where some aliens that took me from my home,
they put my in a little dome,
and when I finally got back,
there was a triangle that was black,
and I was wraped in a package of foam.
---------------------------------------------------------
Don't Leave Me In This Cold
Don't leave in this cold,
This cold chill of life,
Don't go away,
For I love you and life without
You would just be a cold chill,
A cold chill forming into an arising mist,
The mist forming a barrier,
Blocking all hope for life,
The mist grows tighter, and tighter until
It starts to choke,
Choking all life from me,
Then on the ground, the cold ground I die.

Tell Them
Since my life is ending,
Tell them all goodbye,
Mom, Dad and Lending,
Do not let them cry.
Tell them I'm not in pain,
That I wish I were
alive,
But I did not die in vain,
'Cause I learned not
to drink and drive.
---------------------------------------------------------
incensed by jealous tongues
i fear, the morning that
we burn in fear. i wake
with windows tore
anew. the daylight
sparkles a godless
hue. the machines are
running. the times a
curse. we stare at wounds
left uncovered. arms of
infinite uprisings. hands
of hollow gold. rings of
saturn. eyes of yellow tears.

Aye My Lad
Aye my lad
would that old Irish
SOB say to me
while he downed his beer
and crunched the salt
from the peanut bowl
Aye my lad
As the Irish Republican Army
bombs the innocence
out of Ireland
And children go hungry
and wander the streets
And women prostitute
for bread money
Aye my lad
He would sit silent
The bullets would fly
And he would sit silent
Resting his fat head
On his fat fist
And crunching the salt
from the peanut bowl

DEPOSIT - NO RETURN
I DEPOSIT MY TIME,
IN RETURN NOT ONE THIN DIME ,
I DEPOSIT MY SOUL ,
IN RETURN NOTHING BUT A WHOLE

I DEPOSIT MY HEART ,
IN RETURN IT GETS TORN APART

Ireland
My little mother
is the lady Ireland
Celtic rhythm and song
erase all past wrong
Oh mother Ireland!
what a burden you bear!
Without purpose is war
fear breeds in us all
ULA, PLA, not one
differs from the other
When my friends are all dying
When they took mine own mother
O mother Ireland!
The tears I shed for you!

Poetry
What makes a poet?
What makes a dreamer?
What divides the tender
from the weak?
What divides the violent
from the strong?
Why are there so many
lonely people in the world?
Why should there be
lonely people in the world?
Where do we go when we die?
What do we do when we get there?
We are children
asking children's questions
living strangely
segregated lives
Love and all that other stuff
Gives me itching oozing hives

To Grandpa
by: Kelly Campbell
Swirling lights of heaven
Are pulling you near
Away from memories and loved ones
Away from me I fear
But still I feel you close
Cause' you are still in my heart
And as long as you stay there
Our souls will never part
---------------------------------------------------------
Moon on the goddess lake
shadow of the shining light
flooding like a symphony
chanting of a summer storm
the manipulating whispers of the wind
takes you to a dreamy place
crushing the sunny trip
pictures and visions are beneath the sky
delirious cries of the water
sweet moans of the sea
frantic as you live on one gorgeous day
---------------------------------------------------------
MIX AND MATCH
So that others may know
The fun that flows,
Cakes and pies
Attract a child's eyes
While mom and dad
See a coat or tie
To mix and match
To buy for cash.

Some New haiku
for free
the squirrel's
highwire act
Softly
she sings
to her sick child
year's end:
burning the old
calendar
rolled newspapers
gather at the dead man's
door
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
My rose of fury and fire,
Does run deep in my attire,
It has an infatuation with romance,
but this infatuation is not to dance,
searching for one true love,
that is sweeter than a turtle dove.

An Interstate at Night
Easy-listening overtones through static Neil
Diamond.
Singing softly, Illinois disappears behind
us.
3 a.m. my eyes are wide and ringed with red
exhaustion.
Familiar hill and signs rise up, looming full
of memories:
K & I ditching the last party barefoot in
the Mustang speeding through town --
Amazing it was this
same road,
I struggle to remember the curves.
---------------------------------------------------------
Another day
Another sorrow
Another dream
For a new tomorrow

Limousine eyelashes,
Dropped a tear in my wine glass,
Salted wine on my lips.

Memories -
Nights like these when I fumble and my notes turn sour and everything turns to ashes in my arms are when I get lost in nights of long ago when I was so
high I thought your skull was the sun and when we kissed half way over the
bridge. Then I relize no ones every gonna sop the car to dance slow with me again.
---------------------------------------------------------
HEAT
Slowly the drops of sweat
Painfully slide down my forehead
As the sun eats each one
Leaving nothing but a burning sensation
On my head
And the stench of what was once there
As I rip it off with the back of
My limp hand
Ready to encounter the develish liquid once more.
---------------------------------------------------------
My world is gone, My light has died
Can you see the tears I've cried?
I spent countless nights just thinking of you,
I never knew what to do!
Until I seen a light,
for once it wasn't dim, it was bright.
I found out that the one I thought of
was not the one I love.
The one I love is not you at all.
His heart wasn't small,
it was big enough, it fit me.
You were my fate, but he is my destiny.
---------------------------------------------------------
CAN'T YOU SEE THROUGH MY HEART
CAN YOU SEE THROUGH MY HEART
IT'S RAINING
ACID RAIN
BECAUSE IT HURTS SO DEEPLY
I'M CRYING YET THE TEARS AREN'T SURFACING
I'M ACHING PLEASE HELP ME
I NOW GIVE TO NO ONE MY HEART
I'M AFRAID
I'M SCARED OF BEING ALONE
YET I AM ALONE
THE THUNDEROUS CLOUDS ARE ROARING
THE PAIN IS EXPLODING IN MY HEART
I'M RELEASING IT CAN'T YOU SEE
CAN'T YOU SEE THROUGH MY HEART
---------------------------------------------------------
Alone with a Silhouette of Midnight
Grandfather chime twelve forty five
blending with
rebounding
jazz caressing his ears-
warming the
heart
Emotion defining the greatest devotion
trying to not
let Grandfather go flying
by; sighing to the
defeat
lying to themselves for the non-existent glory
Three minutes refuse to set free
though, twelve
minutes was long ago
and to approach midnight
won't be
any easier
...and here it is
---------------------------------------------------------
For C.S
The smooth pink
of summer burn
and delicious ache
of chlorinated crush
the plume of youth
curving like a tongue
the bone of your brown fingers
on my twelve year breast bone
the curve of calf
muscle twisting
like calla lily
a simple canoe unbalanced
by currents, now combing
the water, draining
the river and over
the dam you are
unfound and flashing
silver.
You are missed my friend, sadly missed and loved. G0D BLESS XOXOXOXO-B.

Foolocracy speaks
for itself, can
you hear it?
The greasy charlatans
so hard at work,
creating
their own
ideal world , and worth.
At our expense and
their
enjoyment.
Vote for the clowns
with the painted
grins. They
all
really believe in
who they are
Shouldn't we?
---------------------------------------------------------
so far away now.
beyond the darkness for which i can see
lies her
emptiness, lies the plea
mysterious, like a red rose in winter
lies her mind,
empty, calm and glimmer
turns her head to see me last
and not again
I watch her walk away
I know I shouldn't, and ask her
to stay
But the world needs mysteries
something to seem
unknown..
the answer never answered
the truth lie alone.
---------------------------------------------------------
"SPARKS"
As I gently
Brush my fingers
Across her rosy
Smooth cheeks, down
To her soft rounded
Chin. As I just ever
So slightly tilt your
Head, our lips embrace,
Fireworks explode,
Passion ignites,
Embers jump to
Flames. When
Its over and we
Part, our lips are
Still glowing with
Miniature sparks.

You hate the things that they like
You smile but wanna frown
your with a crowd but wanna be alone
When they think it's the begining you know it's the end
so hang on.

SWING TOWN...
this pin-striped passion
...
of psychotic dreams
...
flips and turns
...
two-toned wingtips
...
throws and twists
...
swing bands gleaming
...
neurotic energy
...
excitement elongates
...
forever into night
...
couples abandon
...
as time creeps by
...
this is how i spend
...
time i don't have

Own Angels
Everyone needs someone to love,
And each will find their own,
But some will steal what is not theirs,
And that's why I'm alone...

How do i love you???
Roses, tulips, daffodils
The moon, The stars, The blue sky
Mountains, hills, plains
How do i love you???
water, fire, earth, air
grass, soil, flowers
rain, snow, sunshine
How do i love you???
North, South, East, West
Summer, Spring, Fall, Winter

All these things reminds me of YOU!!!!

Letting go,
Is harder than holding on,
But I fear this relationship,
Has gone on way too long.
Your mind wants you to go,
And find the place you think you should be,
Nothing will ever change,
I hope one day, that you will see.
Everyday with every heartbeat,
I will remember our love,
And hope one day it will be written,
In the stars high above.
---------------------------------------------------------
Someone Special
There's someone special that I love
he's only meant
for me.
The reason he's so special is
because he's mine to
keep.
When I'm down and feeling low,
he helps me through it
all.
I'll live him in the darkest days,
even when death
calls.
---------------------------------------------------------
My Internet
My eyes drown in a pool of words she has said
I long to meet my mysterious love
I search for you like a curious dove
You fascinate me so, I think we are the same
But your answers are cryptic answers
And you won't say my name
"Smooth" she calls
Like she really thinks I am
For if I were, I would not fall
For a girl I will never meet again
---------------------------------------------------------
The Devil
Is sitting
Beside you
Look around

Secret Lover
Come in lay-your head upon my chest
I'm the one thing that will give you rest
when you need some one to hold, I'll be there soft and bold
I won't leave, I promise-I can't go
Even if you get another, I'll always be your first lover
Remember, I was the first to taste your sweat-when you make love to nett
Remember me? I Know You Do-- I'm your first and last lover!!!!!!
sincerely your pillow

Death 10-30-96
Death is when its all over,
Death is when it begins.
Life as we know it is over,
But a new more complete one begins.

When I think of her
My heart goes asunder
My legs get all wobbly
And my mind fails to wonder
She is full of beauty
With some to spare
When ever I see her
My heart starts like a flair
