WAITING

by joy doncaster

She's got wild flowers, spring wild flowers

deep in her heart, but

nobody sees 'em, or picks 'em,

or knows they are there.

Colors from heaven, sweet scented perfume,

where is the wanderer

she looks for

to share?

Her heart was once frozen and covered in snow,

winter, once cruel, 

now departs from her soul.

She waits on the hillside, her heart full of hope

the wild flowers blooming

deep in her heart.

I am there

  Khawale  santosh

  I am there

   When you are afar,

   in hoping you.

   When you are near

   Intoxicated by you.

I am there

   When you arrive,

    in collecting moments.

    When you part,

    in reliving the moments.

I am there

    When you are cross,

     in advocating you.

     When you smiles ,

     in wanting you.

How could you this to me I'm your daughter outside from your wife/I know you didn't want me/ but my mother still gave me life/yeah you was upset pitied a bitch/try to push my moms in a ditch/when she told you she was pregnant with me/you said bitch/ you know I got so much to lose/if you have this baby it's going to be hard on you/I can't be there when you need me to be/so I suggest you get rid of that seed/that's what you told my mother and she cried begged and plead/ for you not to give up on your baby/I'm your first born everything you ever wanted/I'm cute smart and understanding/how you don't want to know who I am and what I turned out to be/you could of been apart of my life but you abandoned me/I know you can't tell your wife about me but don't you think it's time/I'm 35 with two kids your granddaughter is five and your grandson is nine/I'm an accountant at a Fortune 500 Company top rank in the world/all I wanted was that treatment from my pops to his baby girl/..I love !

 you even though I don't know you/ I wish you would change your mind and about meeting us/trust me you would love us.

I'm sitting on a chair and i'm thinking about my dreams ,

All my dreams are leaving my mind and appear in front of my eyes ,

They are so sweet and lovely for me but maybe they are out of reach ,

Just thinking about them make me feel i am in heaven ,

When i feel you in my dreams ... oh , that's soothing ,

When i feel you by my side , it seems i am dancing with angels ,

I want to enter to my dreams world , where i always see you ,

Where i am able to wipe away your tears ,

Where i can take your hand and take you to paradise ,

Where i shed tears no more ... and i will be lucky !!!

In my dreams i do any thing for you ...

In my dreams i give you a bunch of flowers every morning .

In my dreams if you get ill , i'll become your nurse ,

In my dreams we are happy , healthy , successful ,

And then i will know if i die i am died with happiness not with alas !!!

Wind and Fire

Your absence ignites my love like the wind does to a fire

I couldn't tell you how I felt when you were still here

For fear that you would run away

Now that you are gone

I can't help but think what we could have had

My love for you is like a wild fire

It seems as though it is out of control and will never end

Someday, I pray

That this fire will be extinguished

Though we Hardly Knew Each Other

Though we hardly knew each other,

Although I never knew him well,

Even though we barely chatted ­

I'm sure he had a lot to tell.

There were those days when we argued,

Times I refused to look at him,

Weeks when we acted like strangers,

Hours when I fell as his victim ­

But I know that ­ within his soul,

Inside him laid a tender heart.

He bore that love all fathers have,

That love which never did depart.

He had always defended me

And was frequently on my side.

Aware of my likes and dislikes,

Dad could always tell if I lied…

Wise, respected and self-assured ­

My qualities, he helped amend.

I love him so, he loves me too.

He is my father and my friend.

 Awakening

Awake sweet tranquility!

Do not rest to the alarm of unrest.

Arise in amazing harmony!

Do not still the heart of spiritual quest.

The earth has trembled today,

unraveling emotional, chaotic fear

But the sky has cleared its blinding dust of disarray,

engulfing faithful, patriotic tears.

Once in a lone stance of disbelief

under the wicked shadows of tragedy

Now a renewed, heightened spirit of relief

under the illuminate light of unity.

Darkness threatens to pursue

with death's daunting, bellicose hum.

Oh sweet tranquility! Befriend your red, white, and blue

with your triumphant, unceasing paean of freedom!

TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM.

Dear grandad.

This is a poem to show you how much i care

because for you dear grandad ill always be there

I know you aint well, but you'll get better

so in my heart i wrote you a letter.

  " I know you feel low and down in the dumps

and this as been going on now for a few months

the future is bright and things can only get better

so i wanted to spread the warmth in my letter.

because we love you with all our hearts and soul

you play an important roll of making our life whole

at the moment life to you is being unfair

but the strength you need is inside somewhere

finding you strength will help you pull through

and will help us be able to help you too

so look into the future and not the past.

because my love for you will always last"

  I hope you felt some love within your heart

as that's what you gave me from the start

although there's times when were apart you are always within my heart.

ESOTERIC TRUTH OF LOVE

Rishi Patankar

Come what may, twister or storm, trees have to dare

Just like you they too can’t run, but they’re still there

You may choose to sit here and let life fly by

But remember, you will get left behind if you sit and wait

It's saddening that you've got no friends

But even if you had many, the search for someone special never ends

It's mournful that you’ve got no shoulder to cry on

But even if you had someone, there’s no one better than yourself to rely on

You ask yourself too many questions and remain to ponder

How will you ever get happiness if you look for it in the wrong place, did you ever wonder?

Proclaim your success, no matter what is your age

You were in search of love but now your pains need to assuage

You told your feelings to the computer and now you’ve decided to fight

You need not fight with yourself; do you think it's right?

You tried to get love from others, and miles away you sorely flew

Love is not present elsewhere, but it’s a feeling within you

To My Baby

we have only just met,

but i feel like i have known you forever.

you are so sweet,

the way that some people aren't.

you live so far away,

but i wish i could fly,

and land in your arms.

i would feel so safe,

just being with you.

I would feel so loved,

every time i looked into your eyes.

I wish i wasn't here,

i wish you weren't there.

i wish we were together,

it doesn't matter where,

as long as i was with you

Phantom Lover

Ida Faye Daniel Gibson

The wind whispers your name in caressing waves

As I walk alone remembering your silken touch.....

A tear slowly appears cold against my cheek

I ache for your tender touch

One last finger trailing my spine

One last wave of passion flowing through my body

The hair on my body rises

Even at the thought of you excites me to a frenzy

But, I must cool the embers

Let the fire smolder

Till I can add fuel to the flames

Sadness approaches

The wind howls

Sending pleasure through me

Again a longing only you can satisfy.....

And I am the only one who knows......

My dream lover

Who coming to me in my dreams.......

Departs with the morning shadows.

Out of the darkness he rode

Long hair flowing........

Eyes shining with a pleasure burning all consuming .......

The knowing of what was to be was there

I felt it flowing through his silken touch of hands to my soul

The desire was all consuming

The night was long and passionate

My dream restless

The dawn spawned to soon...........

Chasing away

The shadows which held him captive

Now I walk...... wind howling at my heels......

My dream lover follows in the shadows...........

Whispering.....in silence

And I remember his tender touch.................

My Dream lover........."Phantom"

TRAILER PARK SYNOPSIS

Bill Chowan

My blood roars silent

into the tube of elixir;

holy communion

of the damned and lonely.                                   

The heartbeat of prayer

pounds quickly

for salvation

and gratification.

My blood so pronounced

against liquid escape,

looks beautiful

in anticipation

of rise from weakness.

I adorn my veins

with false hope

of love

and life.

I marry me

till death.

 We were never close until now

When I first got you I didn't like you much but you liked me

The one I got you for you didn't go around much

But then you two got close and we was not friends no more

You wouldn't come around me no more

A few years has went past and now we sleep together

Plus I like you now and we have came friends again

Now that we have I hope nothing happens to you

Plus I hope it doesn't change

FOOTSTEPS

BY  LIP  SAI  LIN

UPON  THE  GOLDEN  SEA  SHORE

WE  ONCE  LEFT  OUR  FOOTSTEPS

WITH  A  TOUCH  OF  UNFORGETTABLE  LOVE

BUT  ONCE  BEHIND  OUR  BACKS

THE  TIDE  STROKED 

THE  SEA  ROARED

THE  WAVES  SWALLOWED

OUR  REMOTELY  SCATTERED  FOOTSTEPS

THAT  WE  ONCE  SO  HEARTILY  LEFT 

Waiting

Why can't my heart let go

And stop aching from the past

Why can't it listen to my head

And accept we didn't last

Why do I still think of you

And ache when you are near

Why do I still love you

And wish that you were here

I know that you've forgotten me

You put away the memories we made

You've erased the passion we once felt

It was so easy to let it fade

Sometimes I feel I hate you

Your "coldness" kills my heart

I tell myself, "just let it die"

It's better to be apart

I hope that I wont still love you

When my twilight years I see

I pray MY memories will finally fade

So I'll forget about you and me

Love Is Blind

love is blind

and its time to find

love is blind

and its on my mind

love is blind

and I cant decide

love is blind

I have to get satisfied

love is blind

please don't cry

love is blind

and its time to find a real love

AGAINST MY SKIN

he left me lost

saying something about finding himself

all the while, against my skin,

telling me about love.

darted here and there like a busy street

always looking, never finding

and coming home as restless

as he left

held me by my neck, tackled me at my heart

saying that it was me, that i was the lost one

so he paced in my thoughts,

telling me to leave,

begging me to stay

so he could tell me more

of love.

Friendship
Nikki Grigsby

     To me friendship is something that you hold with you forever,

Even if your not friends with the person anymore. True friends are always there to lend a shoulder for you to cry on when your not feeling to happy, And there always there when you have nothing to do so they just sit there and talk to you whether in person or on the phone. They always stick up for you no matter what even if your saying the grass is blue in there eyes your right. Every group of friends has a motto and ours is ho's before bro's. That means that we would never let a guy come between our friendship. We were there before the guys came and we'll be there after the guys are gone. Friends stick around no matter what even if your being the biggest BiTcH in the world their always there. Well friendship is something that i take very seriously because if your my friend i would do anything for you even fight someone because i didn't like the way the looked at you. Well this is what friendship means to me ..... what does it mean to you?????????????

 EVERY DAY
Joshua Elmore                            

There isn't a day that I don't think of you,

There isn't a night that I don't cry,

There isn't a moment I don't miss you,

There isn't a second I don't wonder why,

Why cant we just be happy,

Why did it have to end like this,

Is this the way it's supposed to be,

Have we shared our last kiss,

You weren't supposed to like me,

or were you,

You weren't supposed to love me,

or were you,

What drew us together that one night,

What made you look at me,

Why haven't we ever had a fight,

and why do we always agree,

Does it have to be this way,

What if were meant to be,

But I know if you stay away,

You'll never come back to me,

There is a reason for what we've shared,

There is a reason you came into my life,

and I know if you weren't so scared,

That one day you could be my wife,

I think of this every day,

and every night it makes me cry,

But on this I pray,

and wait for tomorrow to wonder why.....
