(Please do not steal poems. No one can say what you are feeling as well as you can. So find your own words. But do read these poems to take courage that others who have felt muted by love have found ways of expressing themselves. And do take time to love: yourself, everything around you (animate or inanimate), and let your friends, co-workers, family, and even strangers know that you love them as these poets have. Blessed be! \o/ )

A pointless struggle for love”

“Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter”

        

Though I sit in silence and quietness,

For if you gave me that unwilling happiness,

Oh’ pathetic heart that lies within,

In which it earnest a love that never begins,

Where is the ecstasy? Why do I struggle to escape?

Pity my hopeless desires, that sadness you create,

Falling out of the cold gray ski’s, does my spirit roam for truth,

Yet, I wonder in an iceless cave of darkness searching for you,

Oh’ you are there, but you heart is hard with a crack of light beaming,

Everything that’s within me tries so hard with pointless dreaming,

Why did you be the one chosen?

You keep my heart sad and broken,

My tears do fall, but yet are unseen,

For if you saw my hurt, you’d not understand and grieve,

You sympathy in nonexistent,

In which I have failed with my dark shadow in far distance,

For if you were tamed to the dark wintery bed,

My wild spirit would roam with movement instead,

I decay slowly in the deepest and darkest hours,

Yet you still trumpet through with your unseen, deceitful powers,

How do I keep the waves to not overflow?

With my sunken sunlight and dimming glow,

Why can’t you see what should be felt there?

Nothing in me with you can be cleared,

Let my rose wither with my sent decreasing for whatever I may do,

Shhh, the secret that I hate to reveal,

Is that sadly I still love you......

THE EDGE OF THE PATH

by Aaron Buffington

 I hope we can see eye to eye again some day. Although, many times we have stood at the edge of the path together and walked back into safety, I was a fool and left you there in search of old horizons. We may not walk the same road of life anymore, but we will always be together, for that is the love I feel. I shall never forget the joy you brought into my life. You are a miracle in true form. I know in the final days we shall walk through the gates hand in hand, side by side. I shall wait an eternity, if I must, to prove that my heart is pure. But until the day comes, that we are reunited, I will be waiting at the edge of my path.

TOM CRUISE FOR DORIAN GRAY

Dorian Gray...if someone would

Just make that movie on

Oscar Wilde's dreamed man

Dorian Gray, the imaginery

Dashing art-inclined lad

With the robust and

Pristine look

That rocked the

Art circle in

London

A flamboyant lad that reminds

Me of the ever youthful Tom Cruise

Who got the world

Dazed with his toothy grin

Handsome frame and

A springy warm physique

That rouse the widest

Desires of every lass

 "What I can't have"

It's driving me insane since I can't have the one I want.I feel like your love was just a taunt.A way for u to make me want.Want the love I have been searching for all my life! Since I can't have you....I want to end my life.Why should I go on? Because have you already moved on? What about the love that was once there...is it now gone? Where did we go wrong? Was your love just not that strong? Was it me or was it you? Maybe I was just a fool,a fool to think that I could have you! If I could only make understand why I would wrather be dead than to go on living another day without you! Please my love.....listen to what Ihave to say to you! these word's that I am about to say come from my heart and are true."I love you"and without you in my life....I would suffer a pain like no other deep in side my heart. So now that I know that I can't have you....then I guess this is where I say goodbye!!! Because right here where I stand is where I end my life!        

I wish I could touch you,

I really do,

and be together just me and you.

I wish I could kiss you

pres your lips against mine

and feel your arms around me for the rest of time

I wish you loved me

come take away my pain

and see how much ud have to gain

I wish you would look

I wish you could see

how much you really mean to me

But you don't love me

you don't even care

about the love between us and all we could share

OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD

Michelle Hockenberry 

        

         What do there eyes see?

         What do they think of me?

         What do they feel when I'm near?

         Is it all or just some who have ulterior motive?

         Why are they drawn to me?

         Can I help it? maybe

         Can they help themselves? who knows

         Should I see it coming?

         Or should they just stay away

         I believe I decide who and when

         Is it a curse or a gift I possess and

         should embrace?

         Or is it the human nature of all men to

         see how far each woman will go and how

         soon they can befriend her.

         Is it my kindness that's easily 

         mistaken for weakness?  I believe

         it's there ignorance that provokes   

         my violence.  I know looks are

         deceiving, if they knew how I felt

         inside would they call the next day.

         At times I feel like the devil in

         disguise. Do you think they would

         stay long enough to see that side

         of me? Or would they see a

         reflection of themselves in my

         eyes. What do they all seek Sex I

         ask? If so there is a big price

         to pay at my hearts expense. So

         for now I'll just play it safe

         and just stay away.                                  

Snow White
Berni Weisskamp

She stirs and wakes,

Her body's numb,

There's not much more it can take.

In the dark corners,

Of her swollen mind,

The desire's real but the afterglow's fake.

A spoon and flame,

The white turns clear.

The currents too strong,

As she drowns in all her fears.

Eyes are clouded,

Now the storm sets in,

The only love she knows,

Slides her away,

As it sweetens the sin.

The blood shot fireworks,

Begin a surreal dance,

She's searching for babylon,

In this fractured romance.

4 Evelyn

by Isaac O'Bannon

i see a fire burning

i don't even know your name

or

is it evelyn?

wild fire burning

in your eyes

heart

soul

for me

but for something more

for my future

i am cocky-

confident

i move with precision

knowing

feeling your eyes

upon me-

faking it

and then faking it more

i steal glances

steel glances

when you are not aware

when you're laughing

and at peace

and hope that i can

feign the confidence

to trick myself

into saying hello.

Best of Friends

Lutchi Gabutin Huscusson

I completely remember

It was last September

When you first asked me what is your number

I pretended I never hear

For you voice was not so clear

It was pouring rain that time

And I passed your way and asked for a dime

You said your were standing for quite sometime

And cannot find some place to dine

It was the day of our friendship

It was the beginning of relationship

The kind that filled of hardship

Just to proved and mold what our friends shape

It lasted for years

Joy, laughters and tears

We are the best of friends indeed

The autumn blues

Why now in the fall,

do I still feel sad

over long ago and far away?

She had wide blue eyes

and a pretty smile

short brown hair,

a tomboy, perhaps.

She wasn't much to look at,

but just enough for me,

She was to me a beauty

seen in her blinking eyes.

I envied the rabbits

she stroked,

for years I adored

her from afar,

A literal doll's face,

a Girl Scout who put

strange thoughts in my head.

Her grin,

her sly little grin,

was something

I relish still.

She was a long-haired blonde,

a slight and perky thing,

who was always there.

She said she liked me

and walked to class with me,

for a just a little while.

I should feel fortunate

without them,

I do, but I feel lonely

for them and I felt older

while young.

High school was colder

without them and now,

as I drink from

the bittersweet cup

of memory, I feel colder too

To Eve

accept this offering-

an iron heart

softened by the warmth

of understanding

I need no more

carry you

cross narrow

winding bridges,

at long last

realizing

your own...sense of balance

forgive

if once my

voice

ruled over

your choice,

accepting

our...equality

-your dearest,

Moses

The big day has come you look nervous but on the surface you look calm and ready he looks at her and says to him self. Look at her walking down the isle flashing that beautiful smile on her face. tears of joy run down my face as I look into her eyes as I wonder why she came at this special place and time. I thank the lord that you were born and till our final days our love will never be torn. If the day comes when we have to part I want you to know I will still love you with all my heart. She has made down the isle the ceremony is almost over but you will always cherish this moment forever. and as you hurry for your first night married you know this only the beginning of your life long journey.

Turtle

Today I saw a turtle.

It was lacking in throttle.

Towards me it started to crawl,

But I was already on the other side of the mall.

Thinking of you

By Hana Durakovic

Thinking of you,

I don’t know why I do,

Dreaming around,

And always bound,

To your face,

With such grace,

That I can’t let go,

And I can’t show,

What I feel,

Which is strong as steel,

I couldn’t survive without it,

I can’t live with it,

I want to open my heart to you,

But I can’t do that too,

So the only thing I can do,

Is think of you.

Torn strings

You here with me almost one year

You are happy and young as before

I can't believe you don't really fear

The sound of tired torn strings

They played such wonderful things

But now my indifferent hands

Only torment them with no success

I can see now there's so little

For a man to be happy when he loves

Even jealousy anger or ill will

Can't leave a trace on the young face

He is so silent don't ask for love

He only looks at me for long

He stands the horror of me feeling wrong

With a smile that makes both of us strong

Unbridled love

Ever since I have seen him

I have stopped lighting lamps

I clutch my heart

And go nowhere

How deep in love Am I

Every moment, its his gorgeous face that remains in my eyes

Oh' his stoic walk so beauteously fine

The flex of his thigh plays smooth melodies in my mind

The gleam of his eyes is as radiant as the sun's own ray

They almost blind my eyes

The kiss of his captivating lips is sweet, warm as honey-drops

And soft as the flower amidst the dew

With each kiss, creating a beautiful song to sing

His serenity envelops me in his sweet gentle grace

Possessing every essence of my being

I must admit

I am lost in his embrace and that I am entranced by the power of his love

It takes me to a secret place

Where all of my dreams are all possible within my grasp

For this, I Shall know his sweet love is mine, with him by my side

I shall never feel out of sight, be alone

For I  have a home in his heart

                         the sunrise reminds me

                  of when instinct surrenders to reason

                         the moon, still visible

                           is full of promise

Love
Susana Turcios  

 

Love is a fountain, flowing with love.

It refreshes you a warm and cold day.

But sometimes it can overflow with surprises,

Day after day, when you first see it.

Your heart races with excitement.

Love is a splash of joy when you are together

                

River

Love is a river

Flowing through your heart

The current of emotions

Shortly drifting apart

So calm at the beginning

The rapidly you hit a rock

Smashing you to pieces

You're slowly falling apart

The river takes a course in which you can't explain

But every relationship has its rocks along the bank

Love

I love you everyday of my life from now

until for ever

we will be together so when you fell lonely.

look up to the star and remember your in my

heart

so even though we have problems I still

love,

because you’ve been with me through good and

bad so thank you love

I’ll always be grateful for having you next

to me.

I couldn't have asked for more so thank you

god for giving me this chance.

So even though we are far apart ill always

keep a place for you in heart

Sweet Lover

Sweet lover, how I long to meet you.

How I want to gaze into your eyes.

How I fear to seek you.

How I fear to love.

I am but a child,

But so close to growing old.

One day my death will be upon me,

and I will be alone.

Sweet lover, come to me.

Hold me in the night.

How I want to hold you.

How I want to cry.

Don't leave me, sweet lover,

To face death.

Be with me.

Always.

The Right Time

by Hallee Walsh

Waiting for the right time.

Waiting for the day.

If you waited long enough,

It just might be okay.

This feeling deep inside of you,

That one can not describe.

When should you reveal you thoughts?

You must wait for the right time.

Waiting for the right time

It’s all bottled up inside.

The time is almost perfect,

And you will no longer have to hide.

Waiting for the right time.

Stalling with a glance.

You waited just a second too long,

And now you’ve lost your chance.

A new day

It is a new day and my life has changed

For my long time passiveness is over

Life I will grab with heart and soul

For my worthless suffering has to end

Truth is where I will find peace

For when and where I don’t know yet

But for sure it is not meant to be

In the loneliness of this sterile life

So I will have to find the ways

To enchain my inner forces

Brave and adventurous I shall become

In search of this balance I long for

Legacy Of Our Love

I long to return to your arms at night,

'Till daybreak feeling your warm caress.

To be greeted by your beautiful smile when I return,

Knowing with you my heart was forever safe.

I yearn for the love I felt when our hearts where one,

To feel it once again coursing through my body.

To know I'll always be by your side in love, life, and after,

Wishing for the chance I almost had to take your hand in marriage.

The love we once shared, and nurtured,

Our love outlasting life itself...

A FLOWER

By: C.A. Wood

There is a flower;

I have passed;

These many summer days;

And in its beauty;

Have I marveled;

In a sweet and innocent way;

Though winter comes;

And petals wilt;

And slowly fall away;

Each spring it seems;

They come again;

With the sun's first new warm rays;

Though passing days;

No longer take me past;

This flower I adore;

Within my heart;

Its vision stays;

To bloom forevermore.

AM I YOUR GODDESS?

I see pain, tears in your eyes. I see torment, coursing through every vien. You say you love me, you say you'd kill for me. But i ask when i cry, why can't you just let me die?

Am I your goddess?

Am I your dream?

Am I your light?

I'm not what I seem.

I beat you down 'til you're bloody and sore, but why is it that you crawl back for more? To me you're just a toy, that i play with rough. You know you're just there, as another thing to destroy.

Am I your goddess?

Am I your dream?

Am I your light?

I'm not what I seem.

I burn with rage, that I take out on you. But why is it, that you don't have a clue? Can't you see I'm killing you? Can't you feel your pain? As your heart burns a hole, the hole I'm burning through?

Am I your goddess?

Am I your dream?

Am I your light?

I'm not what I seem.

Written Words

Words you have written speak my hearts desire

Tells the story to which puts my soul on fire

Speaks of the love I have but to you to give

The dreams we have of together the future to live

The pains of loneliness but yet together we share

Expectations of life and love can make us a pair

I see only good in our future and what it can hold

Will create tales for years for others to be told

My heart, my souls desire, I my deepest yearning

Manlihood melted, tears in my eyes deeply churning

Secretly without knowing, words by mere gesture

As you can see my dear, my heart you did capture

Only by the grace of God above I do solely trust

Put us together in love, harmony and yes in lust

To live our lives fully, honestly and in bliss

For this my sweets I would not want never to miss

Oh how your words have spoken my soul.

A Tear
Stephanie Corrales

Tiny. Clear

Moving, falling, slipping

sadness, happiness, loneliness

A Rain Drop

Greatly Missed

A Father's touch, A daddy's kiss,

A grieving daughter, you're greatly missed.

An empty house, An empty chair,

A father's love no longer there.

A broken heart, tear filled eye,

Another soul to fill the sky.

Many memories in my mind,

Some I laugh, some I cry.

The times we shared, The laughs we had,

Things I miss when I think of you dad.

Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,

Only memories of what once was you.

Missing you laugh, I will never again hear,

That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.

No more smile on your face, No more warmth of your embrace.

The last hug, the last kiss, The last "GOODBYE" leaves me with on last wish......

To have you dad, here today,

Never to leave your daughter this way.

A father's touch, A daddy's kiss,

A grieving daughter, Your greatly missed!!

I'll rise

You may make me fall

You may make me cry

You may make me stay

But like a plane, I’ll rise

Does my look upset you?

That doesn’t matter

But you got problems

That should matter

Just like a bird

Or the sun

With strength or weakness

I’ll rise

Did you want to see me cry?

With a heart broken and feelings falling

apart with weakness to not rise

Not being able to shine

Does my words offend you?

That doesn’t matter because

With your angriness,

I will be able to rise

A Penguin

~Christine Valentim

A penguin

Wears a tuxedo

And gets ready for his prom.

His tuxedo is a perfect fit.

He walks over shyly,

To ask a girl penguin

To dance.

Together,

They dance

The night away.

A Mere Reflection

The summer sings with glorious sunshine,

and the future is a tall pine tree,

the sea she whispers,

her deep blue secrets gently into my ear,

Tales of how the sky made love with the sun,

the earth, the moon, and me,

As I knelt down by her side,

she showed me the stars in a darkened sky,

as if it were a mere reflection of life inside my eyes.

 What is a Dog?

             A dog has a black, brown, or white coat that covers him or her up all year.

             A dog's bark keeps an enemy from coming near.

                         A dog's black, beady eyes watches every sudden movement like  a hawk.

               You can trust a dog , even though he or she can't talk.

             A dog helps me feel safe and warm, while I sleep at night,  and the day forms.

LOVE
BEV HOLFORD

LOVE IS BUT A MOMENT OF SIGHT AND TOUCH AND SOUND

IT'S ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT,NOT WHAT YOU MAY HAVE FOUND

IN SEARCH FOR LOVE THERE'S ALWAYS FEAR,NO MATTER WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

AND FIND THE ONE WHO SENSES,THE LOVE YOU HAVE WITHIN

YOU MAY KEEP LOVE INSIDE YOUR HEART,OR SPREAD IT ALL ABOUT,BUT REMEMBER IT'S THE GENTLE SOUL THAT KEEPS LOVE FAR FROM DOUBT

What I Saw Within Thee
loveird

I never did know what you wore

Cause your eyes were all i'd see

And twas not your eyes that i'd adore

But what i saw within thee

For your eyes had no color

And your body no shape

Though your soul, like no other

Was what made you great

And all you'd see in me

Was goodness and beauty

But how all that could be

To me, is all a mystery

For i see the pessimistic side

The side that does the bad

That side that always lied

Always made us sad

For that's the side that broke your heart

And that shattered mine while doing so

It also tore my mind apart

And turned us into foes

So when my time does come to die

Will you shed a single tear?

Am i even worth a cry?

Or will you feel good cheer?

I look around,

I don't hear a sound.

I hear my self thinking,

why is our love sinking.

It's sinking so fast,

will our love not last.

My heart was broken

cause our feelings were left unspoken.

I never saw the sign,

I thought you would always be mine.

I never told a single lie,

So why did our love die?

I hope your happy,

making me feel crappy.

Well now she's gone,

I'm moving on.

LOVE

    Why do you love me when i don't love you

    why do i love you when you don't love me

    love right now is confusing to me ,

    love has treated me bad

    love has made me mad

    love has made me sad

    i couldn't help myself , i fell in love with you

    but you fell in love with someone else

    she's special to you , just like your special to me

    she's lucky to have you , and your lucky to have her

    i know you cant be mine , i know your heart belongs to her

    but at least one of us can be happy , happy in love

    i'm happy that your happy

    soon i will be happy too.

HE DON'T LOVE ME
Ashley Collins

He took me.

He took me and my heart.

Made me think that we had some sort of art.

But when I showed him my soul.

He told me she took him.

He told me she took him and his heart.

I say

So you lay in my bed and you take part of my fruit.

So that you can walk on heart and tear me apart.

And all he could say, was She took me, me and my heart.

I say

You'll be back for this love.

You'll want what you can't have.

And all he could say, was she took me, me and my heart.

I say

You don't love me no more.

And all he could say, was she took me, me and my heart.

VALUABLE LESSONS

I have it, I have the answer to my question,

Through this all I've learned a valuable lesson

Follow your heart and never doubt yourself

Without God I would have been lost with no help

It's you, yes you the one I love

The one sent down to me from above

I can't believe this , this whole long time

I kept it inside and didn't let the love shine

But you saw through me, as I can see through you

Getting this off my chest makes me feel fresh and brand new

So why do I do the things that I do?

This was the question to me from you

It's because of how much that I Love You

So we've found the answer to both of our question

And in this we've learned a valuable lesson.

Remember Grandpa
by David Conner

Well I know a land, yes it’s a lonesome land

A place of my youth I didn’t understand

And you showed us the way

I wish you could come back here today

We were all so young as we played together

And you will remain with us forever

Yes you are in our dreams everyday

I wish you didn’t go out that way

Well I remember a place It’s a beautiful place

How those times disappeared without a trace

Well we’re all grown up now

And I don’t understand how

We could let walk that final road alone

Well I hope you’re at peace now

And that your spirit is free

As free as the place

You’d take our family

Katia HACENE

All these feelings wrapped inside

All these feelings I will hide

To the day, he took my friend

Didn't know it would all end

No time or words left for me

He thinks, I know, let me be

He needs my help everyday

This is what I wanna say

F#ck you friend what's the deal

We were friends, was it real?

You have no time, but for her

That short time is such a blur

Pain and agony felt so strong

You think you love her but your wrong

One day you'll be back, just in time

You'll ask for everything but a dime

Scratches and cuts tear my heart

Running inside me with a dart

To the end I wait to see

I know you'll someday come to me

Where we can be friends

So heavenly.

Sugar Heart

your my boyfriend

your my pride

your the one thing i think of all the time.

you are my sweet-heart, the one inside

that makes my sugar rush get pushed aside:)

your the one and only thing, that i could taste over and over again.

so all but hopes

to push aside

all the females who make a cry

they see you as a dream come true,

 but i will always see you as my candy balloon

so if you pop, i know why

my sugar rush has said good-bye

hoping, wishing that time slows down

 so our happiness together will never sound

the sound of burst

the sound of love falling beneath a winter bug

so i say to you right now

your my sweet-heart so don't you frown:)

I LOVE

I can not gather happiness while

you are away from me.

I can not find gentle thoughts

to keep me company.

For I am truly lonely in the night,

and early dawn,

Reason being you are surely

gone.

For this is why the rain pours down,

and skies are always grey,

Why my only thoughts are of you

and yesterday.

To me you are my world, and all my

stars above,

You are my future and my past,

and everything I love.

Colored Leaves

Colored Leaves dance with the prevailing winds.

A tranquil brook lurks in the thick, murky woods.

Footsteps heard moving through the dried leaves:

A lost creature.

Herb grows in the footprints as the pain relieves:

The ancient teacher.

A musty smell enters the air.

A wolf howls.

Danger is approaching very near.

The creature follows.

The Forest’s ceremony is about to begin.

Torches ablaze.

Spirits of the divine realm roam within.

Celebrating their hopes and dreams that all creatures attend:

They escape the maze.

The Disturbance appears.  The celebration comes to an end.

The predator becomes prey, when devoured by its sins.

Colored Leaves dance again with the prevailing winds.

It was only a party...but I found more than that

We kind of hooked up and I knew where you were at

We had hidden feelings that we didn't want to show

We secretly fell in love we just didn't know

As days went by I've been so confused

I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do

I've told you by phone and I'm glad I told

But the problem is I want you here for me to hold

These feelings are jumping they're out of control

We both know what to do we're on a roll

If you really love me why is there no chemistry

Cause all I think about is the way we are gonna be

You have my heart don't be shy to give yours

I'll be here forever that's a promise I'll keep for sure

Be Real For Me

Fly away, he says, to where ever you would like to go.

Don't come back until you know what you want.

Leave this place in hopes of bigger dreams.

Come back to me knowing you are better.

Shine brighter than the stars at night.

Shimmer like diamonds.

Jump into the sky and take hold of the Heavens.

Catch a star for me.

Make your life worth living and keep your dreams in mind.

Let yourself float away, like the birds do in the summer sky.

Take my hand and lead the way.

Waste no time.

Spend it all on the good and throw out the bad.

Come home to me when you want to be real.

Be real for me.

 Changing Seasons

You came to me in spring

We laughed the summer though

Autumn came, you began to doubt

It's winter, no longer me and you

In spring my head was in the clouds

In summer I was walking on air

In autumn you brought me down

In winter you were no longer there

Springtime brought joy

Summer filled with happiness

Autumn filled with mixed feelings

Winter ended all of this

You changed with the seasons

You couldn't believe what I told

Like the season of winter

Your love has turned cold

In seasons to come

And all the years through

May you find happiness

And may GOD...bless you

~*Little Star*~

Twinkle, twinkle little star

how I wonder what you are

way up high, so out of reach

just like the dreams that I beseech.

You're just a star, a hope, a dream

so far away that I could scream

if I could wish upon a star

I would wish upon you from afar.

For your the only star I see

you're the star sitting next to me

you're my one, my love, my only

when I'm with you I'm never lonely.

But now you're gone, and as I cry

I ask God why you had to die

twinkle, twinkle little star

now I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

watching over me from the sky

so my love, please wait for me

and we'll be together again for all eternity.

P.  M. L.

Possessing a beauty that is beyond description

Affectionate and kind beyond imagination

Tender and fragile with a child’s innocence

Ravishing smile that gives joy so intense

In my dreams she lives every single night

Clinging in my mind, such a beautiful sight

Images of love and passion that I dream of

A piece of reality I do pray and hope

Miserable that I can’t be always by her side

Afraid that my feelings for her will be denied

Realizing that somehow her heart might not be free

Yearning still, that somehow it’ll be me

Longing every minute that soon will come the day

Answers to my prayers will soon come my way

Never again then, will my soul be lonely

Everlasting affection, I will give her only.

I went a walking

and found a stocking

it was empty

and I was full

you make me smile

for awhile

I look to you

for love so true

or just conversation

in between time

I write, or read,

or dabble, sometimes bleed,

the thickness of moss

is deep, in me, like loss

I wonder if your there,

inside where I'm bare,

to fill me, to thrill me,

I'm entangled in your need

more, I plead..

stone me, freeze me, hold me,

please me. please.

aint it easy?

If not, why, and for how long

must I be wrong?

I wanna love you after a hard day of work after a basketball game with your friends I wanna love you after five years I wanna love cause no other woman can. I wanna love you after an argument strong and long I want my love to be shown tattood upon your arm I want my love graffitied on the streets sidewalks and parks benches I wanna love you with an engagemnet ring I wanna love you in moans and screams, scratch marks and hickies, kisses and hugs I wanna love you I have to love you do you kmow what kind of love i'm talking about?

Confession

I may have given up my mortality,

But in return I have received immortality.

I may have sold my soul

And left a vacant hole.

But in doing so I have left a legacy.

How many can say they will be part of history?

Mac Beth once asked, “To be or not to be?”

My answer Mac Beth is to be, forever to be.

Remember me as you will.

Perhaps as a heel.

Hate is the most powerful of emotions

With the power of five exploding oceans.

While love can lead one blindly

And that would be undeserved tragedy.

So why be remembered with the emotion that is the weakest?

Why not have remembrance through the emotion that is strongest?

 

Legend was my aim,

Achieved that which I aim.

Legend I will be.

And in the end you will remember me.

DEPTH UNKNOWN

Crash...

My heart went diving

Landing into an arcane world--

Into an infinite dimension

Never minding,

never looking back

just letting myself fall...

Deeper and deeper

and deeper still--

fathomless depth...

& i found myself at your door step,

knocking anxiously.

You opened your door with a smile,

& i thought...

I'd like to fall...

deeper and deeper still...

Hero
Angela Goss 

                       Our lives are so changed,

                  and our world is now all rearranged.

                        You helped us through,

                       did things I'd never do.

                              Saved lives,

                           and lost your own.

                    For that I now call you my hero.

           You were so brave to save as many lives as you saved,

                     and my live to Jesus he forgave.

                   You are so thanked for what you did,

                          and I am only a kid,

                  But, I feel so touched by what you did,

                      And I think you should know,

                   that your my one and only true hero!

FIRE IN THE HEART

Ann Winter

The anger in my heart is a poisonous venom

Permeating every cell.

It threatens to melt, blacken, and decay my very being

A cinder of hate held deep within

Anger, held a lifetime, yearning to be unleashed

But at what price?  The fear is great.

To let down my guard, to shed my armor

To open my boundaries is to bare the hole in my soul.

My invisible thorns spring forth

Armoring me against those who venture

Near the sensitivity of my heart.

Oh to fulfill the deepest desire

The cool waters of peace and love

Flowing gently over my body

Washing away the heat, soothing the rage.

Peace, come to me, stay awhile.

Let me know your comforting wings of love.
