O! lonely tear,

Why dost thou fall,

When goodness dost

Like sunshine call?

I fall because

Of joy within

Which makes even

The sunshine grim

For one whose love

Has found me fast

And tightly to me

Bound at last.

I fall for joy,

For hope, for love.

I've fallen for

Sweet handsome dove.

This tear dost not

Fall sadly down;

It weeps with pleasure

Great and proud.

Fear not, great souls,

When pain doth smite,

For love is bold

To win and fight.

Hold true to love

And when you rest

Sweet tears of joy

Will see you blest.

As I have been blest.

MISS YOU

-Imasha

We were like cherry and cream

we could never be separated

but I was wrong

You entered my life and left so suddenly

I still remember that day so well

the day little angels took you away from me.

I used to revolve around you

but now I have stopped

I'm lost without you

I understand why God wanted you to be with you

cause you were truly the sweetest angel

My days are not complete without you in my mind

miss you

LIFELINE

MIKE GETSON

a river inside breaks free

the inner peace shatters in time

all alone i want to honor thee

struck down in the hour cut at the prime

hey!

can you hear me calling you

hey!

i'm all alone and don't know what to do

send me some help throw me a line

my life a shambles brought by me

your coming to help, but not in time

i'm a living prison, i only want to be free

hey!

can you hear me scream to you

hey!

you want to help but there's nothing you can do

a burdened soul in need of healing

stumbles now unkempt and abandoned

all out now torment no feeling

fallin head first denied and slandered

hey!

i no longer need you

hey!

i'm lost and fading from you

lost all hope

put it down

no where to turn

i'm at the end

-0-

once again these are locked within

bound by chains that were created

by their own screaming

the fire behind the frustration

the tears still further behind

those flames, with itself tires

of these mind games

of the voices, of the screaming

she wishes there were no more

the solution still hidden

behind the door,

she has yet to open

yet to see

through these hallways she wanders

never to be free

as i stay here and wonder what you did to me

all i think is pain that burns inside me

and then when i look deep inside i find something there

the love for you is still down there

one day it will go

one day i will live

but till then i find that

you still love me

you think i hate you

you find you hate me to

but guess what baby

i'm in love with a fool

The moon comes down where all the seas will meet.

The moon will make it oh so pretty.

when you walk along the shore the sea will shine and glisten.

In the night and in the day you can see this marvel.

The sun comes up where all the seas will end.

The sun will make it bright and yellow.

When you sit upon the shore and look into the beauty...

In the night and in the day you can see this marvel.

What happened to the beautiful soul i once knew? i don't even know why i am wasting my time on you. but deep down, i really do know why i long for you.

I long to feel your gentle touch as your body moves into mine, your fingers through my long dark hair, the sound of your humming in my ear, and then the feel of your lips on mine, the taste of my lip gloss mixes with your sweet breath, as the rain falls softly.

and then the feeling is gone, cassanova has revealed his true identity, desperate to revive the feeling, i move in closer, i ignore your hands moving down my sides, your teeth ground hard against my neck, your body feels like a boulder on mine. my long hair all around me in tangles, and the sound of your short, sharp breaths ring in my ears. and then the rain has not only stopped, but the sun is blazing so bright through the clouds that i think it might explode, and the only sound to be heard is my distinct, "NO."

Don't stop drawing circles in the sand,

Their lines getting darker,

Look how these blue water li-lies float,

On calm water.

Chorus

All this is beautiful, retain,

For it is there for you to see,

Don't hurt the innocence again,

't Are simple things that make you free.

Watch that baby, catching mother's eyes,

these little hands grab,

I studied them long and long, how it's nest-

ling her breast.

Woods are breathing in and breathing out,

They're cleaning our air,

Believe me, they are in many more ways

powerful beings.

throughout my endless dreams I parish.

a never ending path to disparam from my mind,

the memories that yet linger behind me cut me through my soul like a razor of my hatred,

save me my angle, for i will wait here, with carnage in my heart,

......please come so I may live again

Her eyes sparkle in the sun

her soul tells us the past

she's the one who knows all

she hums to tunes unforgotten

she dances with her inner

she talks with her thoughts

she plays for her life

she plays for the team

she's a Jaguar and will always be

THESE STORMS WITHIN

EDWIN FLORES

Battered and tossed the souls we bare

Licking our wounds, retreat to lairs

where we can rest from all the storms

our hiding place for us so worn

Tire we do of life's curve balls

wishing for change, missing our call

We turn to sleep, to turn the tide

avoiding pain incurred inside

Obsessed we search for answers to

we thought we had and wish we knew

but time keeps what is chased in vain

in hearts beaten now numb to pain

More anguish than there's remorse

X marks the spot, charted the course

and in our quest, compose we do

the score to life some thought they knew

Gail force winds come so stand your ground

Your faith in God in you he found

Will grant the peace to weather them

These storms within he will condemn

My eternal pain

David A Gamez

My eternal pain

Is like a dragon being slain

Its long and painful for my life I am regretful

I am numb

Maybe I drank to much rum

My heart is dying of loneliness and depression

For there is no restoration

You caused this pain

Will love ever reign

Human nature is to neglect

But when they need help, do they forget?

My heart is heavy of hatred

Have you seen love, have you faced it?

People have ridiculed me

What am I doing wrong, am I just a tool for thee?

I may look happy but inside I am suffering

Like a song in the media buffering!

If I try to lead

you’d rather bleed!

If I speak

You accuse me of being bleak!

Is belligerence the only answer!

Or is there another way that is faster, that will not cause blood to scatter?

For I proclaim

My eternal pain!

Thoughts from this Broken Heart:
by Courtney Hancock 10/27/05

From the bottom of this broken heart

lies a dark soul so deep

It stares you right in your face

And wonders while I sleep

From the bottom of this broken heart

comes out all my pain

From the bottom of this broken heart

comes out all the rain

You broke my heart, yeah, it's true

And it seems as if it doesn't matter to you

If you ever find true love, good luck and farewell

Cause right now, I wish you'd burn in hell.

A life is not worth a gun.

Productivity shouldn't trump everything.

Universal health care is not an option.

White is not more important than black.

The weak are not to be vanquished.

Oil shouldn't be a foreign policy.

Rich is not a privilege.

More kids dying in a desert.

It's time, to just say

HUMAN EMOTION
Giovanni Holmes

Love is very hard to understand there always

that question, that some people asks?

and that is what is love?

It has ways of making people feel different

in so many ways it causes them to do things and

try to impress a person that they really care about.

The person usually goes all out of a limb to do

Seek

Perla Drbabe

Don't look inside

Ignore the mirror

Look outside and find the wisdom

open the cage of torture

What once was colorful

now has ashen

Fly away for you are free

Run away so you could see

There's more out there

It's not a dream

Don't look back in disbelief

For I know what you see

For i lived what you now seek

and didn't let you rebel in

For i blinded you into thinking

This was the life for us,

I had to two active life's

Refusing to give up either one.

To choose between what I wanna have forever

& what I wanna have now.

Now I'm left with what I used to want now

& lost what I NOW want right NOW and what i want to have forever.

What do I have to give

Josh

What do I have to do to be with you?

What do you want? My heart?

I'm sorry but you've already ripped it outta my chest.

The very breath I breathe?

I'm sorry but you've already taken it away.

My voice?

I'm sorry but you've already rendered me speechless.

I would fall upon my knees,

But you've already swept me off my feet.

My gold, riches, everything?

Ask and it's yours.

My life,

Is already devoted to you.

My soul,

Has already found it's mate.

My spirit,

Has already been set free.

What else do you need?

-0-

I want you back.

Rathie

Sitting here all alone

thinking all that we've gone through,

I just can't decide,

whether to hate or love you.

The sweet memories of our relationship

smile at me whilst i'm in misery.

i just cannot get myself together,

because i'm too scared of reality.

I just don't know where i went wrong,

what did i do? i don't know.

Was it me? Or was it you?

Please help me out, cuz i want you.

she looks around her and the world

is filled with empty faces hallow

eyes demand allegiance to these

narrow spaces. inside her grows a

flower thorny and wild that has

been risen from the long forgotten

faces of a child.

THINGS HAPPEN

RACHEL STONEBURG

Never be ashamed of what you did in the past

What has happened has happened

What was said has been said

And even if you dread

The future because of what you have done in the past

Know this

The past is over and the future is yet to come

So live each day like the past never happened and like there are no worries in the future

OVERSEAS LOVE

(davidsudest)

Until the end of the night

Time of the morning dew

Until the sun rises on the bight

i'll kiss and stay close to you

to hear perrogs on palm-trees

And seagulls squealing in the sky

To feel the cool sea-breeze

Making kites dance so high

Have you ever heard

Of this small island ?

In the fringe of the world

Sensuality on the sand

Your skin is smooth as silk

My hands around your hips

A flavour of cocoa milk

I'll taste on your lips

Just a one way ticket

For our love islet

Each day you play with waves

Swimming in the sea like a siren

Queen of my sweetest raves

You ride a silver dolphin

Have you ever heard

Of this deep blue lagoon ?

Look at these lovers, free as a bird

Flying through the night to their honeymoon

"they're sparkling like two comets

Chant the crabs of the grove

Listen to their heartbeats

This is an overseas love

Soon will come the day of happiness

Wedding day in a palace of bamboo

She will wear a white dress

And the dream will become true"

Just look at the crystal ship

Come, honey here begins the trip !

When my last tear drop falls

Megan

Sadness

when I know things are not going to change

when it happens over and over

when I can’t tell my feelings to anyone

when instead of a shoulder to cry on

I have a pillow

my pillow each night drenched in my tears.

my tears of sadness

Anger

when I know others have better lives

when I have to vent

the anger builds up

one day it will come out

one day everyone will feel my pain

they will feel my anger

Anxiety

when I know it’s going to happen

when I’m not sure of it

I wait for it

can’t sleep until everyone else is asleep

the littlest sound will make my heart beat fast

will make me cringe

Scared

when I know that if it gets out

my life will change

not for the better but for worse

never for better

I want it to end

for the pain to be gone

never to come back again

but that will only happen

when my last tear drop falls

*FOR HER*

Nelson, M'vita

Stars are shinning,

The ocean is singing,

Love is blowing through the air smoothly,

Trees are listening carefully.

FOR HER.

Her words sounds like a singing bird,

No doubt she is a creature of god,

She speak English and smiles in French,

As pure as a rose and smells like fresh.

FOR HER.

Her eyes are brown and beautiful,

Deep inside of her is a strong soul,

I sacrifice and let the ink of my pen bleed for her.

Care, love, and respect is what I have

FOR HER.
