IF EVER AN END

JAY PAUL IVES

Your a warmth in the winter

your a blue sky in summer

Your a truth that i know

Your a truth that i am

So never say never

i will love you forever

Your the colour of springtime

your a love in my life

Your a leaf in the autumn

your a rain that falls on me

Now i know that i love you

and ill never forget

Your a friend for a lifetime

forever you are mine

So forever i love you

if ever an end.

                       SEEING THINGS

                       Rebecca Marin

I thought I had seen you,

But, as always, I was wrong,

I was just seeing things,

I have been for so long.

Ever since you left,

I keep seeing you,

But I'm just seeing things,

I don't know what to do.

Everyday I see you in a different place,

Sometimes in my mind or in my dreams,

But you don't what it takes,

To let go of you, It's not as easy as it seems.

I always imagine you and me,

Together we will be,

But i'm just seeing things,

Forever you and me.

Sooner or later,

I will let you go,

Just not now,

I'm still seeing things though!

Prying Eyes
Sasha Allen

invade the privacy i've attempted to uphold.

a wooden door does not hold you back

nor lock, since you hold a key.

so up goes a stone wall,

and a moat filled with the tears

that refuse to fall.

when it seems you might get in

i seal the cracks

with feigned ignorance

when in reality i feel

your every move towards me.

attempting to stand stoic

i shrink back and run

pretending to put miles, leagues

between you

and your prying eyes

that see more than they should.

Walking a tightrope

           (Anne M.)

I’m walking a tightrope

Tiptoeing on the border

Trembling with fear

Timidly

Tingling with excitement

Thinking of you.

I’m beyond the borderline

Brimming with butterflies

Busily searching for balance

Baffled

Burying my desire

Building a wall between us.

I thought you cared about me,

But now I can see

Who you really are

Not a caring person by far

I opened up to you

And you know what you do

You turn your back there is nobody else who

Is as close to perfect as you

Well that's what I thought

You're a kind friend, not

I told you I was scared

But I guess this isn't compared

To your life and what you want

That's the one bad thing about you

And I'm telling' ya this isn't new

You always think of yourself first

And it makes me wanna burst

I guess ill just have to deal with it that your not perfect But that's what makes me love you

   

Jessica Chavarro

Daddy's Girl

Ever since I was born

I was daddy's little girl,

With my big blue eyes

I would see the world,

As the years went by

You could really see,

That time does fly

I've grown up too quickly,

I wish I could go back

To be a little kid,

I want to remember

Like I once did,

Here I am now

I still haven't seen the world,

That doesn't matter

I'm still daddy's little girl

Love at first sight

Love at first sight was a myth proven true

The night I met you, your eyes

So deep & blue

Mysterious in every way filled with

Love & fun & an unfound craziness,

Your eyes locked in tight to mine

As we slowly made it through one dance

That’s forever unforgotten because that’s the night

I fell for

You!

"Significant Selfish Other"

Sitting here all lonely

All dressed up if only

You called for me to come

Your time i only want some

In my life your the light

But you've been so far out of sight

I need you soo bad

Life's made me so sad

What's worse is you don't care

How much more should i bare

This isn't fair

When i was needed i was there

SELFISH?

Jamie Lee

So you can see the things that I do

I try to love you unconditionally

Maybe I just want to witness to you

I think that is selfish of me.

To want you to choose what I have

Though you have that choice everyday

I don't understand

How you can turn away.

Am I truly caring?

To want you to see?

Or is that just conceit

The self-righteousness of me.

I wanted to write you - this beautiful thing- to make people think- to get heads to ring- and now here I sit-don't know where to begin-how can I tell you-how much pain I'm in-I miss you so much-words can't express-the anger I feel-at your violent death-I want you home-all safe and sound-just you and me-no one else around-I hope you can forgive me-for holding on so tight-for not wanting to leave you-alone overnight-but the time has come-to tell you goodbye-I'll try not to scream-I'll try not to cry-but I'll leave you with this-my beautiful brother-you were one in a million-you were like no other-I'd give it all up-just to tell you again-how much I love you-and how much you meant.......

Their once was a bird who could not moc=ve his wing,

Robins and raven would joyfully sing.

In happiness they would taunt and chant,

Shelly robin can whistle and little birdy cant.

Hehe ha-ha you are worth a cent

his wing may be bent, his beak may be broken but he has love and that's the ultimate token.

THE DOOR TO LOVE

                          MELODY A. CEA

This door may be shut,

But it will never be closed,

To all who share,

The love that it withholds,

You may open this door,

If you truly believe,

In true love and what it means,

Between the two of thee,

True love lives behind this door,

No hate shall creep within,

It has no place here,

So do not bring it in,

To come inside simply turn the knob,

But remember to look inside,

And deep within your heart,

To make sure you truly love,

And that your not just playing a part,

So if your heart and love is true,

Then turn the knob,

To see what this room beholds for you!

As I Listen To The Wind

I can hear the wind softly blowing against my face

I can see my love standing there waiting for me

All I can hear around me is the soft gentle sound of the wind

His strong sensual voice whispering in my ear

I come to take you away my love

To be with me forever

I come to take you to a place where no one can disturb our love

Let me make love to you my darling I want to hold you close to my heart

To feel the warmth of your skin against mine

As I listen to the wind I can hear him calling for me

Liars

Cheaters

They're all around us

Never did I think someone could be like that

I guess I was wrong

Growing up people people change

Some get better

Others don't

I've seen it with my own eyes

Backstabbing and people spreading rumors

Why can't people just get along

The chances of that are highly slim

But the dream lives on

TRAVIS
Eva

The sun was shining

I was only four

As I asked my mommy

When he would come

I remember sitting with her

As I asked how many

More days until the baby would be here

A week later

As snow fell to the ground

We waited in the hospital

As my new baby brother was born

I looked at my mom

Holding him

With a smile reaching across her face

I looked at my new brother

As I asked for his name

My mom looked at me

And said Travis

PIECES OF ESSENCE

Kristin Rupert

Sitting on this bar stool

Drinking in every bit of you

Drawing my conclusions

from your craziness

like a scientist

Eyes with smile crinkles

you laugh at the drop

of my hat

I love silliness like that

I cant get enough

I cant place it

have I known you before

I recognize the wisps of hair

that fall

indiscriminately as you cross the floor

Your essence is a pure light

I can vaguely hear

the whisper

calling me to be whole

I think it was... your soul

"Like Ships That Pass Etc."

by Michael F. Nyiri

We come here every day

And sit and stare

And work

And occasionally I steal a glance at you

And you look back.

Then we turn away

To what we were doing

And concentrate

And feelings pass through our heads

And we don't know what it means.

You are so beautiful

I say quietly

I curse

And watch you patiently never knowing

That you watch me too.

We come here every day

And we wonder

Why we falter

In grasping each other's emotions

Then we turn our backs again.

And silently cry.

pApEr cUt

I've got a paper cut in my heart

And it’s tearin me apart

It’s been there ever since u went away

And it will never heal

It’ll be there till I get u back

You’ll see

Soon you’ll be home

And you’ll be mine, my own

But if u don’t

My paper cut will start 2 bleed

I’m begging u please

I don’t wanna hurt anymore

I’m down on my knees

I thought u said u loved me

Or was it just a dream?

You unleashed something inside of me

Something that’s never been seen

But if u take that away

I’m sorry to say

That I’ll go back to who I was

I’ll just do what everyone else does

I’ll be someone I’m not

Help me heal my paper cut

So maybe I can love again

But until then

My paper cut remains

And I’m

Forever yours~*

WISHES 
BY ROBERT RICE

And if by glance your face I see

I hope not chance will dance with glee

But true and vibrant colors flow

From whence the windows of your soul.

My words I dare need not to speak

Yet every action run full deep

In nuance stance or eye a blink

Of hope you'll sense of what I think

And fell the longings of my heart

For shy I am so please do start.

If given choice 'tween love and loss

For just one night, then loves' my cross

But seek it gladly, though I fall

Perchance to scent your orchid's call

So pity this a beggar's plea

In hopes of making wishes me.

I'M CRYING

I'M CRYING WHY YOU LEAVE ME LIKE THIS YOU KNOW I WAS NOT READY FOR LOVE BUT I LOVE YOU ANYWAY. IT WAS MY FAULT I WAS DUMB TO PLAY YOU. I MAY ACT LIKE I DON'T CARE BUT I NEED YOU AND I WANT YOU. I'M SORRY I'M CRYING AND I THINK I AM RUNNING OUT OF TEARS. BUT I DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW I'M SCARED PLEASE COME BACK IN MY LIFE. I WAS TO BUSY WORRIED ABOUT ME AND MY FEELINGS I DID NOT CARE ABOUT HOW YOU FELT COME BACK TO ME I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL NOW HURT LIKE I AM.

                               Love is red

                          It tastes like a strawberry slurpie.

                         It smells like red roses

                        It reminds me of my ex-boyfriend

                       Love makes me feel very special

                        To someone or something else.

Mindful Reverence
Cassie Knox 

Before you go, I think there’s something you should know

If you haven’t figured out what it is by now, then listen

Wait a minute; what am I trying to say…it would be hard for me to explain it to you if I haven’t grasped the concept yet

A memory was resurfaced, a thought was pronounced, but it slipped my mind, a tender consciousness will come back, it’s too deep; I can’t deny that I like you

I have for a while; I think it’s a crush, yeah one of those phases I will grow out of, but...my body would have responded by now

It can’t be an obsession; I respect you too much to be fixated on your ways

As time goes by maybe I’ll determine what I’m feeling, but I presume I already know

No need to reject feelings, they are actual, they are so strong

Never before have I experienced them, I think it all comes down to one breathtaking word…There’s no other way around it, I don’t want to take the path around it

I know it’s love, it possibly always has been

What's true?

I came looking for friendship, but I walked away with love.

It wasn't expected, but it was helped from above.

We all want to fall in love, but why?

Most things don't last and end with a dreaded good bye.

Love is not blind, but what matters is only what you'll see.

Love makes you feel alive, extremely sublime. A feeling of ecstasy.

It shows not perfection, but flaws aren't as bad as they seem.

It's when you don't want to sleep because reality is better than a dream.

You are filled with love, lusting for what's inside.

It only grows stronger, a love that's denied.

It's knowing you want to be with them all the rest of your days.

Just thinking about them sets your heart ablaze.

You may close your eyes to what you don't want to see,

And close your ears to what you don't want to hear,

But you can't close your heart to what you don't want to feel,

True love just can't disappear.

A warning for all, loving another only ends in pain. Hearing them say they don't love you back is like a knife through the heart. I only loathe that in which consumes me, owned by thoughts.. Taunted by emotion, I am truly dictated by the thing I want the most, falling victim to desire was my mistake, loving was my demise and caring was my fate. I can't control what I feel, only feel what I think. Change me, love me and care for me but please refrain from hurting me. One has already accomplished that, and does every day. I will never get her out of my head nor my heart. Take mercy upon this poor orc and show me something I desire, show me what she gave me, and I promise to give it back. I have failed so many times, with no victories under my belt I can only fall into depression. I have nothing more to say, but I leave you with this; When you love another it can end just like this. 

-- Michael

You!

You make me laugh and make me cry.

I need you there, that’s no lie

You make me want to do my best

Putting myself to the test

You are to me, my very best friend

My love for you will never end

You make my life so complete

A feeling that is so sweet

You make me feel like I’ve gone crazy

Making life seem so hazy

 You need to know how much I care

And I always will, this I swear

You never have been untrue

For that I want to say Thank You

You may one day want to leave

I hope that’s something you won’t achieve

You might leave and not know why

But I never want to hear good-bye

You will always have all my love

My angel sent from up above.

The Moon's Not Mine

Strolling down an amorphous road of night,

a pale gleam above beckoned my sight.

Hushing the silence of the gloomy sky,

as the clouds that hindered flitted aside.

To the bell swaying on the steeple,

the cats abandoned, venturing in dark.

To the sea shivering in the breeze,

it shone upon them it's glittering light.

In admiration my eyes adored,

a forlorn hope dwells like a song.

Enticing it to my chattel I craved,

to enlighten the gloom of my misty path.

What's the use of it's glamorous light?

If it's taken away from the high.

The sky shall weep for the loss of it's glow

and night be left in an epoch of shadow.

"The moon shan't be mine!" I cried,

for all world it's made to shine.

Though couldn't ambled along my side,

It gleams my dark till the last breath of life.

I wrote your name in the sky,

but the wind blew it away.

I wrote your name in the sand,

but the waves washed it away.

I wrote your name in my heart,

and forever it will stay

LOVELY

BY MANDY FAULKENER

A look so casual

How can it be done?

With a simple smile,

Spellbound, amazed

By a man

Who seemed so trifle

But now

Appears different.

How can it be done?

How can it be possible

to be stunned

mesmerized,

at the least?

His eyes run

off with your soul

so quickly, so fast.

When caught,

he surrenders

with a kiss.

How can I be done?

How can I be possible?

 I CARE

   As my mind went blank and my eyes are gone I suddenly realized I could not go on my heart slowed down my thought went whack and now I know his never coming back

   But I still love him and that wont change

 But how can I love him after all this pain and how can I love this man I never see he is all was gone an the run never here when I need him

    He may not care and that’s ok there come a day when ill be gone and then he’ll wish he had know me more

   I wish this man was here right now but he still gone faraway trying to run away from me today

    I am lying here with tears running down my fragile face, my heart is crying out in pain for this man I wish I know but that ok I still love him and that wont change no matter how much pain I’m in right now ill always love him and that’s the fact forever more

BREATH OF A QUICK DYING SEASON

         To no end do i suffer,

         Loathing each breath I take,

         A rage blooms with fire inside,

         seeding its routs in deep hate.

         I feel the ash between my fingertips,

         It makes my skin crawl, cringing,

         At the thought of you, my sinful heart,

         with satans syrup dripping,

         Gripping to the edge of my souls hand but ever slipping,

        solemnly, i dance with souls of passed children, who mourns these?

        Graves of the unborn,in fields of flowers dying in the storms,

    of fiction, fantasy and thought, and long fought wars so long forgot.

Am I a joke?

Why do I always put up with this?

They don't even know me or if I'm

there and that sucks because when

they do they make fun of me like

             I'm a joke.

Well am I?

I'd really love to know if I am!

When I Look

When I look into the sky,

All I see is your blue eyes.

But when I look into the light,

All I can think about was that night.

How you kissed me,

And held me tight.

Never want to let go,

Not even a mite.

Because the love I have for you is strong,

And it will be forever so long.

WANTING
camee

Sitting in the corner

Crying to myself

Trying to forgive you

For loving someone else

Wanting to hold you

Wanting you to be there

Wanting to know

That you really care

SATIRE

Dismay not as i'm forlorn

do not worry about the storm

Everything always works out

so please stop these silly doubts

Killing you would bring such pain

and from the people, utter disdain

You are needed, you are loved

they all speak of your golden touch

So idealistic, so full of life

you will show us all what is right

And all the moments when you progress

We'll be there to cheer and caress

Your dark hair shines in the sun

come on now, what are you?

Dumb.

The moon and my heart

It sinks to the bottomless pit of the unknown

Sable and threatening

For a moment i barely feel its existence

Until it shines revealing

its pure and only essence

The Moon and my lover

Farther by sight, separated by

different gases of which i breathe

Yet sees whatever my eyes bequeaths

a light of which never your own

a lover i will never own

The Moon and Me

Hiding beneath the darkness of deception

Which no one bothers to wait

Until eclipse mesmerizes even my own

Unaware of its brilliance

Yet it is as well

So many have claimed to love you

But only a few remained

So you shine by night

to let them know of your presence

But up so high

Gravity is defied

I LOVE...

By David Lee Ward

Never to know the thrill of you more,

How passionate once upon a time!

Without this knowledge I remain as before,

Lifeless, just marking time.

Counting the minutes that make up the hours,

In the sand of the hour glass of time,

Knowing as before this existence I abhor,

As I did once upon a time!

My Love for you is endless,

It stands the test of time,

Proven over and again to be selfless,

In you my life is entwined,

Your my sunrise as I wait for the light,

In darkness I shall reside,

Reside as I did until you say you are mine,

As you did once upon a time!

  FOR MY SISTER                              

You've always been the one i admired,

the one i most adored....

the one that in any given situation... i'd give my life for.

I always wanted to be just like you,

like they say walk in your shoes....

and now more than ever, its the one thing i wish i can do.

You don't deserve what's been done to you,

if i could i'd take it all away.

Why he chose you is the question i ask myself everyday.

I need for you to know that i love you more than words can say,

and for you to believe that you will be better in future days.

A Mother's Last Words To Her Son

Written For Mom in memory of George Wessly Hunt Jr  August 20,1997

By:Matthew Aldelbert Hunt

Gone like a ghost on this August day.

You were so tragically taken away.

Without your mother being able to say:

"No more will I ever see your face"

"For you are gone from me without a trace"

"No more will you ever be able to feel my love"

"Or the power of my loving, embracing arms"

"How sad I felt as we were ripped apart"

"And how deeply did it hurt my heart"

"For you are gone my son"

"And until my life on earth is done"

"Fly for me, fly like a lonesome dove"

"High, High in the sky"

"So I will never ever have to say goodbye"

"And until we meet again in heaven my son"

"I leave you with this"

"I Will always love and miss you GJ"
