I thought i could write good poetry
But as time went by all i could write was your beauty
Your a song and a poem in my heart
You turn my darkest days bright
and when time falls upon its victims i know i shall be with you....always.

The Mudpies and Summers in Georgia
Remember being ten years old?
Never caring how we looked,
With our legos and our G.I. Joes.
Remember being ten years old?
All the girls had cooties,
And best friends had brotherly love.
Remember being ten years old?
When everything was good and fun,
But we are all older now, and our work is never done.

The Invisible Man
I know you don't see me,
And perhaps you never will.
I try to make you happy,
But I can't climb that hill.
I know you don't see me,
And I know you never will.

Life
I'm standing at the edge
It's one more shot through the heart
One more ship lost at sea
One more noise that is deafening
One more step...
Now it's silence
-----------------------------------------------
I lost a friend, it was my Grandpa, so I give a
symbol of a red rose to my heart. My mom
and dad said that he is dead but I think he
is still a live in my heart. I will never forget
you . I will remember the good memories of
us together.
---------------------------------------------
Shattered, my eyes
like the days of my youth
In my arms are
pictures of you
-------------------------
OF WOLF AND MAN
YOU CAN SEE THE DEFIANCE BURNING IN HIS
EYES.
THE NUMBING HATRED WHICH YOU DESPISE.
THROUGH BLINDNESS AND RAGE YOU KILL
WITHOUT THOUGHT,
A LIVING SOUL TOO SOON TO ROT.
YOU FEAR NO MORE HIS FANGS OF DEATH,
THOUGH FEAR STILL LINGERS BURIED BY DEPTH.
BY: ELISHA POULIN

Starry nights and moonlit skies, beside an oak tree a poet lies.
Churning and turning watching the sky, thinking and shrinking wondering why?
The sun and the moon, are the same in a relative way.
They are always together and together they stay.
One always follows the other, night after day, day after night,
always the same in there astronomical flight.
Everything changes the question is why?
Scientist say that even stars do die.
---------------------------------------------------------
One
Come to me my love
Like a thief in the night
stealing softly my desires
anticipation unfolding with its magnitude.
Moonlight dances across our faces
with silver slivers of light.
Shadows of two entwined souls
is only then enhanced by
a sweet sigh of bliss.
We are now
and will forever be,
One.

haiku
Head down with tail up,
His fluke splashes the water,
Again and again.

haiku
Cetaceans leap
head first out of the water
feeding on their prey
------------------------
One more breath of air
blown out in the foggy mist
Descending back down
-------------------------
Humpback rises up.
Gazes at the world above.
Sinks under slowly.
----------------------
splashing and splashing
the water with his big scarred flukes
coming up with food

I went down town to see Charlie Brown. He gave me a nickel so I brought me a pickle. The pickle was sauer so I brought me a flower. The flower was dead so hears what i said hot dog babby chicken and gravy moma came home with a bald headed dabby.

day tripping alone
in those hours just before noon

By Peter
---------------------------
i cast myself down the road into the unknown
i throw out already forgotten past shadows
waking up to find myself in continuous movement
for the sake of...
trees that spellbind me call me forth to languish in
their shades of green
i will seek them out and beg them to whisper to me
forgotten no more i will listen
i cast myself into the unknown
down the road.

THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO WHOEVER WANTS TO KNOW WHERE I GET MY CLOTHING.
~WHERE I GET MY CLOTHES~
people always ask me
where I get my cloths.
And I just have to answer ~
"from up your nose."

My Love-
Our passions, our sorrows, our love
and pains are puled together into
one heart.
When we kiss so many blisses.
When we make love it reminisces.
My heart belongs to you.
(I have a block and need someone to fish my poem.)

Interface
Collecting whispers
as others do it with stamps or badges
Convert them to whistles
of trains or memory patches
You are there
on the edge of a beautiful world
I am clear of mine
and fit in the purer mold
"Bip-bip" the alarm
I jump from my dream
(Bang, tinkle & bump)
My ear 's treasure
of eerie, yet dance prompting sounds
---------------------------------------------------------
Night is leaving, six A.M.
insane beeping wakes you again
your eyes open to a pale dawn
another day is coming on
full force
straight ahead
will to move
already dead
wishing for nightfall
and the death of this draining light
---------------------------------------------------------
Lonely Again
I conjure your body
dream your arms around me
the distance between us grows
with each toss and turn
here I yearn
Lonely again
Awake again
I drown out the silence
playing CDs--repeat, repeat
the hum of silence grows
the static of darkness calls
asleep I fall
and Awake again
Freezing again
only the heat of your body can warm me
piling on blankets and shivering
thinking of you and quivering
but here I lie
Freezing again
-------------------------------------
There is a silent in us all,
winter, spring, summer, fall;
when loneliness to us call,
further down the mall.
There is playfulness there too,
when joyful things we do;
if you can feel this, in you,
you don't need further proof.
My conclusion therefore is:
Take moments you think you miss,
for every hour like this,
is a moment you surely wish.
There is a silent in us all,
winter, spring, summer, fall.

The Crush
I stare into his eyes of blue
he sees but does not recognize
so deep I get lost
caught up in emotions
and yet he still does not see
he moves
my eyes follow
suddenly he notices
stares back, then waves
I wave back, smiling now
my heart filled with excitement
filled with joy
he walks away
excitement lost, but still filled with joy
I turn to tell my friends

friday's with frankie
you fall like the willow tree
your dead blue eyes
shining like desperate miracles
some kind of misfortunes
are the roots of your pain
we hung like the cobwebs..
as i lay with open eyes
wondering-how i let you hurt me
the way you come through
walls caved in my bedroom
you fell in.
you watch i break-
in crazed, absurd silence
you sleep while i'm awake.
---------------------------------------------------------
CAUSE TO APOLOGIZE
I apologize for the pain and sorrow
that I caused you past tomorrow
I apologize for the suffering and sadness
that I caused with all this madness
I apologize for the misery and depression
that I caused with my wrong decisions
I apologize for the anguish in your life
that I caused --my dear sweet wife--
---------------------------------------------------------
they took my blow up doll away
and gave me a white shaved poodle
who's name was spankie
spank me.
every time i count my fingers
just one's good.
So many people died today
and i can't spell
walla walla walla
who who who
bite me
for i know not the ways to express my need
for speed
my friend has an extension for her monkey
i gave it to her
in a monkey
i'm so talented.
bye for now
-------------------------------------------
If your legs are weary and your road is long
your nights lonely... without song.
Look to your heart there you will find me
loving you always and always... I will be.

Untitled
A cold, dark depression,
Above any Heaven,
Below any Hell
Festering away at my core.
And all around me
A black aura,
An ebony halo.
Despondence,
My sable lover.
Embrace me,
Love me, Tam
No one else will.
---------------------------------
Tell Me
Look into my eyes and tell me you lied
don't spare my feelings, I've already cried
Tell me those words that will tear me apart
don't even feel bad, I already have a broken heart
Tell me the truth and don't feel ashamed
because I've already started to despise your name
---------------------------------------------------
...but it stays
I inhale to numb the pain,
exhale to push it away
but it stays
I close my eyes to block the image
open them to watch it fade
but it stays
I whisper, "Everything will be okay."
hoping that will make the hurt go away
but...
---------------------------------------
Everything
Everything I do
I wanna be with you
From the day I'm born
Till the day I die
Everything I do
I wanna be with you.

SHE IS A BUTTERFLY OF THE LORD
SHE DANCES AROUND SINGING HIS HOLY WORD
SHE HEARS HIS VOICE IN HER DREAMS AT NIGHT
SHE IS A LAMP OF A CITY VERY BRIGHT
SHE TAUGHT ME THINGS OF SUCH GREAT WISDOM
SHE IS A LOVER OF GOD'S HOLY SON
SHE SAID "IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE,
IF YOU TRULY WANT TO BE FREE"
------------------------------------------------------
In this sorry sight I see a place that wasn't meant for.
Were Seas are all to far, And there is a land of gray whats only to
say "that the journey you never found were lovers, crossed and
lives are found, are all to for now you will never seethe
land that was meant for me.

THAT CANDLE
Using the flame within my heart
to light that candle there
Sacrifice and honor justified
nothing in the end
And now I use that candle
its flame as red as blood
to light my way to freedom.

The Night Is Darkening Around Me
The night is darkening around me,
The wild winds coldly blow.
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And so I cannot go.
The giant trees are bending,
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
The storm is fast descending
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing bad can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
*I hear the Crawling Chaos that calls beyond the stars.*

ONE LINE
How to confine;
To one plane,
With one line,
Mind; infinite-
At the least...
To confine,
With a line,
The in-finite,
sublime....
That other eyes,
May feast?

"In the End"
I try not to think about it,
but I can't do without it
in the end.
I think I'm going to win,
but I'm directed by my sin
in the end.
I think I've finally won,
but there is never anyone
in my end.
I thought I'd play this game,
but it finally drove me insane
in the end.
I just want to go home,
but I've been left here all alone
in the end.
--------------------------------------
Disease
I'm a killer
my name could send a chiller
up a grown mans spine
when I kill you the credit is all mine
I've killed hundreds maybe millions
I've killed the poor and people with millions
I have no cure
and I strike the innocent and pure
I cause death and pain
my evil is like rain
I will create havoc for all
and then kill them all
-----------------------------------------
Day After Day
day after day
you lie there empty
awake and alone
yearning so gently
day after day
the pillow rests one head
and the mattress remains
beneath the bed
week after week
you wish long nails would run your back
month after month
memories keep floating back
stars shine beyond the window
glazed and shimmering
her eyes before you?
hazel glittering?
and if its all just a dream
she may never appear
i'll lie here alone
eye shedding a tear
--------------------------------
Dreams
Dreams are good and dreams are bad.
Some of your dreams can make you sad.
Dreams come true so watch you steps.
They can catch up with you when you least expect.
Dreams can sometimes tell you the future or the fortunes
you may receive.
So don't ever forget your dreams cause your dreams are what
make you believe.

Burning Blood.
By Aimee Kling age 8
My blood burns like fire sometimes. The scary wilderness darkens my mind.
After a meal I start to feel like burning blood is starting to be mine.
I get scared and run away and don't come back till thanksgiving day.
---------------------------------------------------------
Death is like a planet that no one's traveled to before.
An unknown voyage that you don't know what you're there for.
A subconscious feeling that you have in your heart.
You soon come to realize you've met death.
And we part.
Love in our hearts and tears in our eyes
We cry cause we love you
And not because you died.

Under Gray Skies
The bluest skies will turn to gray
It saddens not my heart
the wind of storms will warm my blood
and often romance starts
The smell of rain the sound of wind
and now a life begins
a seed is planted within a soul
that's touched by natures kiss
could I get lost within this storm
to understand such bliss
now we lay together and welcome back
the sun still hot from natures rain
completely unaware
a new life has begun
---------------------------------------
Like sand through an hour glass,
it falls....
Falling...falling...it sinks....towards....nothing.
Until.....
I loved.
Now,...
I am.
I am........
------------------------------------------
the still 'ness here
the villain is me
a word too smooth to be swallowed I am he...
the temp'ture the willing
fold me and put me away like a phone number
or mistakes of youth..
I am he.

On the other side of the earth,
There is a war.
On the other side of town,
There is a wedding.
In the desert,
There is an execution.
On the moon,
There is a probe.
On the other side of the universe,
There is a great explosion.
With everything going on on
In this state
Country
Continent
Planet
Galaxy
And Universe,
I understand why it seems like God has no time for me.

In a cold sweat,
A dying man rises from his bed
In the middle of the night,
And realizes that
His life was meaningless.

With a pine box looking back,
For one last goodbye.

And prepares to be struck by his fist.

Love is what you make of it,
- everything you wish;
embrace it may, and even split,
- you can enjoy or miss.
Sorrow comes from it too,
if a heart is down broken.
So its better to be true,
to every word that's spoken.

Now, rain is falling from a cloud
and sun is absent for a while.
Storm is running all about,-
in an early spring whether style.
Yes, every flower needs for thirst,
the water from a cloud in sky;
and when a raindrop falls down first,
they know, they live - not die.

A word is a word,
full of meaning and space;

Isolate your mind, that's to meditate,
Isolate your friends, because of all your hate,
Isolate yourself, because their better than you,
Isolate you guy, time for someone new,
Isolate your heart, before it is his,
Isolate your fear, to find what it is,
To all my bad thoughts I don't have a cure
I must Isolate myself until I am pure.
------------------------------------------
If you are tired and worn out,
take better care and rest.
You shall find your way about,
as before and do your best.
Life is not all pleasure,
it can make you a cry;
but you shall find its treasure,
if you give it a try.
If you are tired and worn out,
build your spirit up.
You should never have a doubt,
what's in your life's cup.
Life is not all in vain,
we can always do our best.
Even though of all this pain,
we should in God trust.
--------------------------------------
We must go on in our lives,
to try out our - best in luck;
soon the weight of that arrives,
and maybe that solid rock.
For what we do well and nice,
shall always make a difference.
This should not come as a surprise,
for there is an equal change.
By Peter
--------------------------------
To both the wise and unwise,
what really counts or matter.
Is always in disguise,
so we can put it better.
Otherwise, we'd get lazy,
in cleaning up all the dust;
and even maybe get crazy,
- if everything was a must.

Hate
Hate is like a speeding freight train.
You can't hide it and you can't control it.
Hate never stops.
-J.Case
---------------------------------------------------------
In faith we can be certain,
there is another life;
so , this life is a burden,
until the next arrive.
But love could make a different,
and even a joyous one;
- pride you must first bend,
and then begins the fun

Mommy
Can you hear?
Can't you see?
Of silence prevailing
And presence remembered
I can see you
Yes, I can hear
I feel your touch
Your loving embrace
The one that wont leave
The one that wont follow
Death's merciless trace
You left behind
Your heart and your soul
For us to remember
To try and remember

I Feel Like the Empty Pen
Lonely, empty, suffering,
Left in a dump,
Among wrinkled, creased,
Ripped up, and crumbled wood.
Remembering when I was needed,
Special, and had a use in life.
When I was full of spirits,
Stuck in a clean, washed, dry shirt pocket.
Riding high, looking down on the world.
But now looking up with hope,
and happy thoughts to be picked up
By a person who will hold me the same as before.

"SUNS"
final suns
will always thrive

left touchless,
but to touch my very soul.

Death for me
would be reality.
For if I slice my vein
I will feel no pain.
Unlike my heart
which is falling apart.

Walk with me tonight
Let me show you my dreams
Let me hold you close
Let me lay a kiss
So much time i wish to spend
And even though you run and even though you say all isn't right
I know deep down that your right
My heart wont accept it
my mind wont let it
and my soul wont succumb to it
Walk with me tonight

Of what i knew i had
But never again held

What would it be like to live in the seas,
to glide under the waves at huge speeds.
To jump graceful and light,
to jump with all your might.
To go such deeps,
to have great leaps,
that is what the dolphins do.
To go great depths in the sea,
to see the corals to see
all the wonders of the deep
are all the secrets it must keep.
To go such deeps,
to have great leaps,
that is what the dolphins do.

I know a person she has two eyes
And she is very wise
She has 10 fingers and ten toes
She has 2 lips and some hair.

Because she is my friend Katie Leigh McLeod
It such a preppy name to sing
She loves to sing Blue out loud!
She wear some glasses and her nose.
I just saw her grocery market picking up some wipton soup
to make her daddy better.

Songs
Songs are like
The wind
Sometimes gentle
Sometimes harsh
Songs make you laugh
And put an ache in your tummy
They also put a twinkle
In your eye
Songs make you cry
Like someone is stabbing
You in the heart
with a dull Boy Scout's knife
I know
I have heard most songs
But the most pain
Comes from within
----------------------------
Don't Worry
Don't Hurry
Do Your Best and
Leave the Rest
Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a gift
That's why we call it
the Present

Angel
It came to me with such beauty and grace
but again with such pain an angel with black wings
it came to me with knowledge of the future knowledge
I mite have already known It spoke with great honor
It spoke of pain in the children's eyes
It spoiled of scared lives of children
who haven't seen a real home
who haven't seen a day with out sacrifices
a day with out torture
the angel spoke of the truth
for that night my wife gave
life to a newborn child

A sonnet is supposed to be 14 lines,
14 lines about something-
but about what?
What if I can't think of anything?
I mean, 14 lines, that's a lot!
Actually, it is only two more than a dozen,
and dozens are good.
If there were 14 in a dozen-
that would be great!
Except for eggs, I hate eggs,
unless they're scrambled
or fried, with mustard on them.
Anyway, I guess I'm almost done-
hey look at that, I thought I'd just begun!

IN HER BELLY
more so than not

luminous strands,

that hover above a poisonous spider
like a silk balloon.
A limb

PILOTS
Iron pilots headed full into the light of the blast.
Cargo dropping hungry flies; mangled bodies aimless in fields;
Women bearing children in piles of shrapnel, disappearing into dim lit
barrenness, and waiting.
Bleeding out their fetus' into the hands of those metal men,
Iron pilots headed full into the light of the blast.

REALLY LIVING
Tears like a raging river
Fury like a storm
All of this inside of me
Waiting to get out
Lost in this misery
Surrounded by such anguish
How can one live like this
Or is this really living
-----------------------------
I'll love you and you'll love me until the end of time
And even then, our bodies dead, our souls will still entwine.

PEACE
As a beam of light on our life
A culmination of our strife
Serving a great purpose
One uniting the surface
A future that we will see
One that we know, we fight to be
Friendship that is eternally.
Is the purpose of the cause
Achievement for us, our greatest clause?
Trying to give it all our might
Supporting each other for the sight
Learning to love one another
And trying for the sinecure,
while fighting to convert the conniver.

A single flower blooms,
alone a color,
A splash of life,
on dull rock and sand.
It reminds me of
that love..
A solitary light,
in my bleak world
Of unique emotions.
still....
Like all flowers
it will wither and fall,
Having served its purpose:
to procure a seed
From which
like love......
Other flowers will grow.
perhaps,
This time
not so solitarily.

Breakdown
thoughts have come
so close to mind
that I deem them
far to soon
to register to
passing people that
care less
for misleading things
-------------------------------------
Summer has arrived
Children prance around in fields
The sun shines brightly
Beginning of Fall
Trees shed themselves of their leaves
Winter will soon come
Winter has arrived
Snow blankets the Earth's surface
All life has frozen
Beginning of Spring
The Earth's creatures are alive
Flowers grow and bloom
--------------------------------
THE SAME
I SEE THE WORLD AND TURN IN SHAME,
AND WONDER WHY WE'RE NOT THE SAME
YOU LOOK AT ME I LOOK AT YOU,
OUR MINDS ARE FALSE, OUR HEARTS ARE TRUE
JOSE IS BROWN
OH FROWN
JOHN IS WHITE
OH WHAT A FRIGHT
BEAUTY IS INSIDE THEY SAY
IT IS TRUE, I SAY
LET'S STOP PLAYING THIS GAME
OF NAMING NAMES
ONE DAY WE WILL SEE
THAT THE TRUTH LIES IN YOU AND ME
OUTWARD BEAUTY IS VAIN
INSIDE WE'RE ALL THE SAME

Morning dew
upon their backs,
Ten thousand
blades of grass

Cowering at the feet
of the tyrant wind.

Can thou be a someone?
True!
Anyone can.
Dream on in life,
You'll find the perfect man.
Describe to me the perfect man.
Isn't that the key?
To have a wonderful person,
That treats you with dignity.
So, In other words,
Just let him be.
He'll love you for yourself,
Wait...
You'll see!
-----------------------------
All my dreams are fast or slow.
All my dreams will stay or go,
and before you know,
a dream shall start to grow.
Sing a little song today:
We shall come together,
and our life shall come our way,
not counting on the weather.
All my dreams are fast or slow.
In a distance they shall glow,
but as the wind blows,
they shall again lay low.
By Peter
---------------------------------
If there is going to be rain,
let it in.
If there going to be pain
let it begin.
But never never let love die,
that's true and full of growth.
Because I would then cry,
or perhaps, we would both.
By Peter

A Kind of Sweetness (Love Poems continued by Michael McNamara)
How sweet is our first kiss when reunited?
Sweeter than the first cherries of the season,
Sweeter than clover honey,
Sweeter than cotton candy,
Sweeter than I could imagine.
---------------------------------------------------------
When you walk an easy street,
will you ever find a taste;
no complex or strain on your feet,
- no thought gone or waste.
If you walk a tactless life,
will you find the small and wise;
if you never take a dive,
- everything will just be nice.
Thoughts are like progress,
sweeping forward another trend.
Sometimes cloudy and in a mess,
- but your mind must constantly bend.
By Peter
--------------------------------------------
why in the eye so beautiful
In my life I struggle only to be descent
Why my mind thinks of things so pitiful
When the crash come so recent
Strive for loneliness and joy
Find a friend called pain
Teach your life as a toy
Then try to pick my self up; a strain
-------------------------------------
THE OCTOBER BELLS
I hear the bells, in my own contradicted field
Where laurels grow, and hard castles lay extinct
By some forgotten fog-messenger, wheeled
In some mole hut, a delicate, gold-plated rink
And I begin, the sightless weathers-of-stone
An omen glinting, reflected upon some sharp-tinted shield
As I brief the rats, and shellac the misty clover-crones
As here, I rot, and die away, and the bells go on and on, my field
---------------------------------------------------------
Blank, flat horizon
An waiting canvas calls me...
Silhouettes of birds.
Skimming over trees
I'm soaring above with them,
grass between my toes.
----------------------------
Why cry?
I am in a continues loop
the sadness that you have brought to me
feels like it will never stop
I want to cry
but if I cry I will never stop
but I can't keep this up
even if I promised myself
not to cry no more
when I broke up with you
I cried for a very very long time
crying would make me feel better
all these memories chewing up my soul
as one tear falls down
and rolls off of my cheek
I loved you so much
I still do
why am I still crying?
------------------------------
i am
just a cloud
in darkness
drifting o'er
your sea of shadows
---------------------------------------------------------
Achernar
Really, what concern be it of mine
If the soul be made of air or fire,
Or divine atoms science can not find--
No abnegation, just a pawn in his satire--
To live lively is my only desire--
Forget your admonitions Hrothgar
There's no devil lying in wait, no eternal fire--
Pull another tube, wandering afar,
Drop to my knees worshipping my soul--Achernar.

Is there any one
Who knows
Why poets
are so...
Abstract?
Why we differ?
Why we feel?
Society seems so hard from my point
Seems so..
Unlike me
I suppose I am being them
But...
I am a poet you know
~Rori~
----------------------------------
Wondering why I try
So hard to accommodate
Everyone
Everyone
Teen anxiety
Runs rampant
Through my
Shoulders
Which slouch.
For the weight
Of the world
Is a heavy one to carry.
~Rori~
------------------------------------
OH TO LOVE A FLOWER
To love a flower is a sin
To love a flower
Is to encase it
To bring it to you
and only you
To not let us see
That beauty
Simple shows your true ugliness
Admire the flower
Caress it
But do not
My friend
Love it
for it
is never yours
Rori

there was a man of booth bay
who was making explosives one day.
But he dropped his cigar
In the gun powder jar.
there WAS a man of booth bay.

serrated edge of insanity
Insecure is the blood,
that follows the serrated edge closely..
Tearing away the fibrous sanity,
plaguing your meaningless lives.
Your pain travels free when your scream chases danger.
My love you digest, and vomit thick hatred..
How can you see with your eyes wrapped in sandpaper?

i stand
well, here we are again
lost in each others eyes,
and i can't understand,
how you can promise no more good-byes.
i stand
you told me from time to time
that i'll never understand,
how you feel inside for me,
and how it feels when you hold my hand.
i stand
waiting is now normal with you,
our life is a puzzle that's missing a piece and
it is up to you
to make me stand
--------------------------------------
black line flashing
white screen rolling
where are they going
------------------------
shock and surprise, as confusion sets in.
The awkwardness begins.
A desire of where to be,
and whom to see.
Tells you one thing,
can I achieve?
The art to understand,
of what is to come.
Makes you strong,
never undone.
The goal of eternity, we'll just wait and see.
---------------------------------------------------------
REVENGE
Once again
the tables have turned;
and bashed in your teeth on the way around.
Oops, I'm sorry,
Is that your heart I'm stepping on?
I apologize --
sop up the blood with a sponge.
----------------------------------
Time, Precious time that begins now and ends never.
Time working, playing and being with.............
time of realization, time of action,
time of understanding and time to know the importance of........time.
Time we wake up for, time we sleep
time we count on, and time that keeps us on time.
A time I'm glad I know you, be with you.
Although the time is all wrong now
the time is all right with me
---------------------------------------------------------
Driving down a one-way road,
They tell me I should stop,
But never the less I spin,
And my life is hanging on a rock,
down and down I go,
In an endless spiral.
Driving down a one way road,
Wreckless for a while

Cried
for you
Shed

I have
no

Now
that
I've lost
You
I don't

Lost you

I

Be

To

With

You were

I relied

And now

it is making me sick
this is making me sick
she told me in a loving tone that this would make me well
now my stomach's hurling and i feel like i'm in hell
where o where could the antacids be
i think their hiding from me
i've searched the cabinets I've searched the drawers
i even checked the bathroom floors
-------------------------------------------------
WONDERING
Each day i look at you
wondering
Wondering and Dreaming
is this really true
Do you feel the love for me
as i feel for you?
I hope that one day
we will be
One soul instead of two!
-----------------------------------
dark
you are walking and suddenly
you fall
falling ever falling
then you hit the ground
a sharp pain goes though your body
you try to move and there is the pain again
your leg is broken
at the bottom of the well
you yell but no one answers
you yell again and again no one answers
then out of nowhere someone answers
"I'll get you out"
the next day you have a cast but other wise you're fine
---------------------------------------------------------
Clouds
Dotted against the deep blue
Drifting to an unknown destination
Crawling within silence,
They continue their journey
Through the storms,
And the icy weather
They are free,
And continue their journey
-----------------------------------
There is a place where I would like to go
where there is lot's of snow
I'd snowboard around
until I was found
then I would go back to my town called willow.

Death
A lonely bird flying through the sky
Why do the good have to die
You all left me here but truly what for ?
I have no idea why because my life is a bore
And so i say to all of you
in which I once knew
all of my idols have one thing in common
they have all met you
DEATH

Skating down the ice,
ice that looks like rice.
Checked into the boards,
sticks are used as swords.
N.H.L hockey
N.H.L hockey
N.H.L hockey is the best!
Helmets in the air,
way way up there.
The puck goes in the goal,
the goalies name is Cole.
N.H.L hockey
N.H.L hockey
N.H.L hockey is the best! YES!!!
Ballad by Erin Nault & Melissa McGregor
---------------------------------------------------------
" Existence "
As I cast my eyes,
upon,
The portals to your soul,
They appear to bring about,
An everlasting glow.
Your desire blazes deep,
Within,
Awaiting its release.
That sole burst of,
Unbelievable passion,
That ignites the internal
Wildfire,
That has ceased to exist,
During your entire,
Existence.
-------------------------------
Him and her and then there's me.
were always together as you can see.
I wish it was me rather then she.
Him and her and then there's me.
Him and her and then there's me.
There still together as you can see.
I love him more then life grants me.
Him and her and then there's me.
Him and her and then there's me.
I see him more then she can see.
In his window at night I creep.
Him and her and then there's me.
Jennifer Marie Price

now here i place this broken heart
now here i leave its memory behind
when once i found this little heart
i cared for it carefully
yet my mind it tricked
my soul it stole
and now i leave it here to be
carried away by a bitter breeze
my mind regained
my soul anew
goodbye dear heart and now we part
your memory left behind
-------------------------------------------
DREAMS NOW SEEM SO USELESS
BRINGING ONE TO IDLE EXISTENCE
IN A WORLD
OF SILENT CHAOS
WHERE THOUGHTS FLOAT
WHERE WE GRAB THE COLORS
AND REARRANGE
THEM
TO FORM
OUR OWN
OUTRAGEOUS IDEALS
IN OUR SLEEPING
SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS
------------------------------------------
I once wished upon a star,
to take me away.
I got my wish, and here I'll stay.
Stuck in this mind,
alone and afraid.
But still is my body, firmly laid.
In this box called a coffin,
so shiny and callow.
But it fits, for my grave is small and shallow.
I'll never again wish, upon that star
But, if I were clever,
I would have wished to live forever.
---------------------------------------------------------
Night from light receding
Flickers once
Resumes its feeding
On the darkness that surrounds
In a slow hypnotic trance
Shadows come to life
Begin to dance
In the light that now abounds
Flickers twice more in succession
Starts to dim
In regression
Darkness winning the game
Comes a breeze from open shutters
Begins to die
Quickly sputters
Night washing over what's left of the flame
