I could really fall for you...

If I let myself and wanted to...

get really really close to you

never dream of hurting you

be there always dear to you

never leave the side of you

of which I'd stand beholding you

capturing the beauty that belongs to you.

I could really fall for you...

If I let myself and wanted to...

If I wasn't so deathly afraid of you...

and what it is I'd share with you

"last breath"
Krystin Childs

 

Love caught me,

Had me tripping

slipping falling

deeply and quickly

I was amazed

this love is what I began

to crave, it's what my soul needed what my heart beated

love is what I breathed it had me 6 oz on feet.

and I did not mind because the love was gentle kind

enduring. It was crazy it had me going , I was tripping

slipping, drowning, falling, madly and deeply in this love.

Love caught me it had me falling , slowly, quickly , deeply and

madly in love that he could only leave if I loved him to

death so I'll love him to my last breath.

Through love's eyes
TowserIV

Her long black mane flows over her shoulders like a fine silk,

her eyes capture you from the very first moment she sees you,

the desire to kiss her tender soft lips builds in me ever more.

This women the most beautiful I have ever seen is everything to me and more,

I would give the rest of my life to spend one day as hers,

to be with her as part of the couple,

to complete me and I to complete her also.

I know I will love her even when she is gone,

I will love her from the deepest recess of my soul,

she will always be there, she will always be with me forever.

GOOD NIGHT, SWEET DREAMS, I LOVE YOU
Sarah Knaack

I fall down again

It always happens when

I forget to trust

But you will stay

And always say

Good night, sweet dreams, I love you.

I am on the ground

Just hoping to be found

Feeling so alone

But you will care

And I will hear

Good night, sweet dreams, I love you.

I feel forsaken

A precious thing taken

What’s there to live for?

No one will listen

But stars glisten

Good night, sweet dreams, I love you.

I can sense the hope

There’s a way to cope

Now the tears are gone

I feel so alive

I will survive

Good night, sweet dreams, I love you.

HOLDING ON

Bethany

I want to scream that its not fair

I want to pull out my own hair

But even as I lash out at all you do

I know I'm not really mad at you

In truth how could I be

I'm lost every time your brown eyes look at me

I want to be angry that you left me

Then I see you and find that I can't be

It's pain and regret that fills my heart

Like anger that hasn't got its start

For comfort I search for your flaws and sometimes do find

But they always fade quickly from my mind

Being close to you is worse then being far

When I'm near all I can think is how perfect you are

Sometimes I wish you'd never felt anything for me

Remembering is more painful then imagining must be

I know the past is gone and I can't rewind

But I'm still trying to deal with mistakes I've left behind

I can't accept what I know is true

That would mean letting go of you

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE

Kristine Pinky B. Munar

When you love someone it hurts to see him go

When your heart is beating, you have to let him know

That every moment with him, seems like heaven to your heart

That your heart cries alone, whenever you’re apart

When you care for someone like you’ve never like before

You want to love him better, though you can’t give him more

You’re careful to make him angry, and you like to see him smile

And the pain thugs on your heart, when he leaves you for a while

When you need someone, but can’t tell him how you feel

It hurts your heart very much; the pain inside is real

Your heart is broken into pieces, or maybe even gone

Just because you can’t tell him that he’s your only one

PRAY

CORA NUGENT

What did he do so wrong,

to deserve to die?

He is so young,

and has never told a lie.

Everybody's needs came before his,

that's just the way he thinks.

Now life he has to miss,

because he's at deaths brink.

We join hands and pray,

to save his short life.

We ask god to give him another day.

My best friend was to be his wife.

I can't cry

I have to be strong for her

I hope he doesn't die

death he doesn't deserve.

To know him is to love him

Now it's all a waiting game.

I beg you Lord, do not take him.

Without Mike life wouldn't be the same.

 MISS YOU
Gareth Winston

Can’t sleep anymore, all I do is stay up late,

And think of you while I lay awake,

I’m confused, don’t know what to do,

Because I miss you,

Is it wrong your always on my mind,

I want to talk but the words are hard to find,

I hate crying my mind through and through,

Because I miss you,

I loved the times when I held you tight,

We will be together, I won’t give up the fight,

All the bad words I said were not true,

I really  miss you,

I would do anything to see you smile,

I hope your happy, I haven’t been a while,

I walk on my own, where am I going to,

I really miss you,

I guess you don’t want me like I want you,

Please believe me, these words are totally true,

If you want to be loved like most do,

I’m right here, cos I really miss you.

"Friends Forever"
Kerri

There's not a single thing,

That one can do or say,

Not a single song to sing,

You're my friend day after day.

Some things will never change,

And our friendship is one of them,

Both of us having friends of a wide range,

Yet neither of us really liking Eminem.

Feeling each others happiness,

Feeling each others pain,

Caring about one another's joyfulness,

Learning from one another is a gain.

Friends forever,

Friends for life,

Losing you, never,

Even when we each become a wife.

Never to forget all those times,

The ones we shared,

Looking into one another's minds,

Never to forget how much we cared

The Walk of Friendship
Jaye 

Though the lighted path,

we walk together

As the path gets darker,

we begin to back away

When it starts to get windy,

you keep on walking, I don't look back

During the storm,

I walk alone, I suppose you do too,

But when the sun comes out again,

we walk to together

Though the lighted path,

we WILL walk together

An Impermissible Love
Valerie Nicole Mota 

They watch from afar,

Yet only from afar,

In fear of something more

For if not cautious their anxious hearts may meet.

But why do you ask,

Can't these two be together

If their passion shines like the stars in the sky?

The only reason to give to this ironic love story,

Is a reason thought to be bleak.

Could it be that their passion may be verboten?

Or may it be just a matter of time?

Not positive the outcome they stay apart,

And watch from afar, watch from afar.

They miss out on romance and memories

Yet they'll never know.

But what can they do,

Should they give everything up for the chance to have the world?

Or should they play it safe and miss out,

By watching from afar, watching from afar.

MY ICE CREAM OBSESSION

By Lauren Torlach

My tale is one of very real woe

So grab a tissue and let the tears flow

One day I appeared at the fridge wheezing

Opened the door and let the air flow freezing

My eyes scanned around for my one and only dream

Yes ­ that’s it! My beloved ice cream!

There it was, majestic on the shelf

Oh, joy! I thought all to myself

The following part is really quite sad

The arm that grabbed the ice cream belonged to my dad

I watched with shock horror as he opened up the lid

Then into his mouth all that yummy ice cream slid

I’ll drop my tale here, that’s as far as I’ll go

But believe me when I say I’m an ice-cream-eating-pro!

Uncommon
~Rheannon Michelle

I am Uncommon

far away do i face the world

close up do i laugh at it

if you take the time to find me

you will quickly vanish

in the depths of my soul

if you stand far away

you will see that i am not a strong woman

but rather a fragile soul

with a limitless spirit....

look into the eyes of my

tears and lips

what do you see?

the incredible reality of all that is me...

Red in a Storm
brian r mcmanus

My favorite lycanthrope

Shape shifting in the rain

Throws dead apples

At no-parking signs

While dancing with the lightening

Her flesh is taught and spotless

Her laugh a string of bells

Delight radiates from her playful soul

Conquering the lightening with all it’s brilliance

Enveloping her loyal fans

Caressing even me

The naysayer on the porch

She sets a twinkle

Into dark, surrendered eyes

"Shattered"

By Shannon Christina Berry

Loneliness is taking over my soul,

Identity plays no role,

My life shatters,

I'm falling apart.

I have no sense of who I am,

I wish I knew where to begin,

The light I'm in starts to fade,

Everything becomes dim,

I start to fall to the end,

Only to realize it's the beginning I'm in.

I'm not a child

I'm a women

but I'm not

I'm a child of invention

but I'm not a child

I'm a child of god

I'm spiritual

but I'm not a child

I am loving

I am a child of a man and a women

but I'm not a child

"OLDER"

Brittany Andrews

Things I used to like

I no longer favor,

things that used to be important

seem so trivial now,

these are signs I'm getting older.

But I miss the carefree days of my youth,

where there seemed to be

nothing wrong with the world,

an endless journey of possibilities

where anything was possible, nothing impossible

and nothing out of my reach.

However, I have grown older

and more sophisticated and mature,

I have come to realize that there are limits

and that the world is not mine.

Dreams are rarely realized let alone achieved

because the world is real and not a dream

and as a result dreams cannot thrive

in the "real world"

because the "real world" crushes dreams.

MISTER
Tamika

hey mister why do you sleep on the street

don't you have someplace to go

hey mister why don't you have shoes on your feet

don't you know that it's going to snow?

hey mister don't you have any friends

where is your family on this day

hey mister won't anyone take you in

don't you have somewhere to stay?

hey mister why don't you look for work

why do you roam the streets with your can

hey mister are you sick or hurt

is this the life for yourself you'd planned?

hey mister why do you throw away life

why do you degrade yourself

hey mister don't you think we all face strife

why don't you think you can ask for help?

hey mister i need to understand

please can't you help me see

hey mister tell me everything you can

to keep you from being me.

War on terror
Aisling Logan

To the earth the shadows cast, from the night-time shadows last, women weep from wars that past, reaper come and end me fast,

High he climbs the window sill, Americans abandon, the nights now quiet and still, he sees battered bodies burgeoned lack of skill, him a child raised learned by the kill,

The moon reflects a blackbird sitting on a wall, slowly as it crumbles catch our faith before it falls,

Beyond the curtains often he peeps, back to the bedspread quietly he creeps, its cold in here and he doesnt know why a stomach so empty so softly he cries,

So this our war on terror. What? Us wrong? Oh Never! A home so safe, What? our killing? Blue oceans with now red are filling,

So pleading "Mummy cant someone send a hero?" The slaughter wont they show? Honey, but she couldnt tell him, Pet, the saviours know.

On The Wings Of Chance 

by Michael James Tomei

The searching owl bellows her sounds of confusion

The sun decides to bring life to yet another day

The fingers of the ocean searching everywhere at the same time

Lighting strikes,”another point is made”

The shadow hides itself from the shade it casts

The moon always appears in a majestic way

The clouds release a nourishing tear

All natures creatures sing there song of ," what is to be "

A golden leaf is carried on the breeze of chance

Star lit path she follows to thee

Of all that ever was, is or will be

The most beautiful leaf falls on to me

The flower sits in a meadow filled

A bee finds her petals still

The stars grace a darkened sky

One light beckons, “a heart becomes alive “

The warmth of day becomes the cold of night

The trees grow towards an empty sky

The tides riding the waves of change

All the pieces fit in an unmistakable way

To stumble through life never knowing where to fall

But fall you will to the one that adores

Carried by the wind of forever more

To the place we all know as destiny’s door

No Happy Ending

The end

The end of true love as it were

The end of romance

The last pages of a fairytale

The closing scenes of a fantasy

The final curtain on a passion play

Let us place love where it should be

Back in the pages of a fiction novel

In those paragraphs were it can at least appear to be real

We must close that door in our hearts

The one that seemed to lead to Paradise

Lock it up and destroy the key

Our souls have no place for this freak of affection

These deep feelings are as candle flames in a raging wind

Warm and bright for a brief moment then, in an instant extinguished

There is no room in a world of defined logic for such a notion

True love is a metaphor, a chameleon if you will

Weakening the minds of all it infects

Leaving real hearts exposed and unprotected from evil

On the surface it appears to heal, yet beneath highly venomous

Many longing souls are lured in, intoxicated and possessed

But in the end they are left with vacant stares

Each one a bird with broken wings

A mere empty shell of the life prior to its existence   

The end

The end of an idea that never reached reality

The end of a dream, closing without hope

It is over and as the truth backhands our face with a stinging slap

We are left alone with no happy ending
