Cold stone.
we lay in the earth.
To remind me your not around.
As if i needed that,
to remember,
that we laid you in the ground.
For over 40 years,
we laughed.
Yet there are tears now.
Its sad that all my friends,
are in the ground.
Now its only cold stones.
Just remind me,
that their better now,
And soon i to will join them in the ground.

Life is a pool
So deep we could drown
We are all diving in the ocean  
Holding our breath our whole life long
And when the time comes
As our lives are done
We finally surface
To see what may come

What is up with all the scammers on here,
Is this not a place for poetry,
Free thought.
The freedom to read poetry and writing,
And have yours read in turn.
So please all of you *******,
who are trying to **** other people,
Please stop,maybe try writing some poetry yourself,
It might help you realize that ******* people,
Just leaves everyone ******.
Thank you i hope you have an epiphany.
Ps. To the scammers that wont learn to respect others or at least stop trying to **** everyone....i hope you get cancer.

Death is a cosmic joke, the punchline.
Something we fear so much,
Yet its the second gift.
We are born into pain and madness,
As a lock fits the key,
Locked in our bodies till the death that sets us free.
With the dying of the light,
Comes another chance to be.

Its never enough
                               We always want more
From day to day
                                Where just looking to score
Yet once we've acquired
                                             The peak with our peers
Its on to the next thing
                                           Through all of our years
Its funny the hole
                                  That gapes in our chest
We scramble to fill
                                    But its never enough
Its easy to forget
                               That its not what we need
We always forget
                                To calm down and breathe
Reminding ourselves
                                       We'll have all we need
When the pillars falls down
                                                   Leaving no need to breathe
We will pass on
                                and have all we need

They stand on lines
Made in earth
Their little lines
that follow them
Showing everyone
where they've been
An age of watching lines
The all seeing eye
that hangs within the sky
Watching day and night
As a billion lives go by

Im pretty sure the universe thinks im a *****....
Cause i keep getting ******

Goodnight love
The stars are high
In the moonlit sky
The wind brushing branches just outside
Let your eyes grow heavy
Let your mind relax
Do not cry its not the end
When you wake tomorrow
It begins again

The wind expressed through dying leaves
         An overwhelming undertow a silent tide
               On the hill the girls mind has gone
                   Craving past memories burned deep
                      Desperately drowning in life's sorrow
                                See the scars in her eyes
                     The sadness she can no longer hide
              Gone are the days of 'I'm just fine'
       Now she just sits and stares
As the world goes by

I was supposed to be somewhere...
But i don't know where.
All i know is i don't belong here.

She touched my heart
I followed her far
Felt like she was gravity
Couldn't help the pull in me

I had it
      Once
           At least i thought so
      In youth
                                           The waters where crystal
                     Yet as i grew
                                                           So The impurity grew too
   I thought age would bring clarity
                             Yet age only brought decay

Little lost notes of pain
From a time when you where here
Before the passage of time
And your passing as well
Making me weep
Memory is such bittersweet solace
Yet thats where ill find you
So thats where ill be

Just like love
                                  The heart knows
                                                                           Its time to break
                                       And broken
                                                                    Light leaves the world
                                    Leaving me cold
When love leaves the world
                                   All hearts are still

Goodnight goodnight
                              My sweet blue moon
                    Close your eyes
   You'll be dreaming soon
Goodnight goodnight
                           A last little kiss
           Before my boat sails
As i lose consciousness
                 A dream
                        An eye
             The cold midnight sky
        The moon setting softly
   With a gentle sigh
Goodnight goodnight

Goodbye sweet friend
We'll meet again
Our paths will cross
When i meet my end

Today passed strength
and up gave the gift
she fought long and hard
Now she can rest
no more fear nor pain
She lost the fight that we all must face
and aquited herself with honor
The world is that much poorer
and heaven gained another  strong angel
Love you Tasha I'm glad to have known you
you will be missed

I wish you would say what you mean
Instead you say nothing to me
All these ******* cracks are driving me insane

If I should go one more kiss I would know
To linger on my skin
Like chill November wind
a shiver running down
reminds me even when you're not around
The remains of love left on my finger tips

~                        Its said that may is dry
                           As winter slowly dies
                Yet this evening opened up the sky
                  The wind blew in as rain fell slow
                        I think to myself perfection
   Listening to gentle drops on the awning just above me
       There is not another place that i would rather be
   I know i should be sleeping but i know that by the dawn
        The rain will have run away and it will all be gone
      So sit with me a while longer and share a gentle tear
  But before to long the rain has gone and it will be hot here

A lock to fit the key
To it all to everything
A key to unlock your heart
When your lost and all alone
And one that reminds you to make your way back home
There is one to lock emotions away
And one to set them free
Theres one to make me into you
And make you into me
Theres one to fill the hole in me
Thats what you had left behind
And one to fix the cracks that you can find inside my mind
Theres one that shuts out all the lights
And one to turn the day into the night
There is one that will take you to where you want to be
And one to many doors to worlds you've never seen
The funny things is that most are lost inside me
So may i find the keys inside of me

I have lost the sound.
Deep within the winter ground.
All have passed with the autumn,
Laid under cold stones.
The marks for memory,
So from time to time,
We can stop and say hi.
Its sad really,
That i only hear it here.
With your passing the tune went still.
Now i sit alone on the hill,
Where we watched stars,
Reflected back in your eyes.
And when the weight of life's to much,
And I'm feeling out of touch.
I can close my eyes,
And sit in stones.
Feel you near me not alone,
So when im feeling down,
Ill calm myself with your sound.

Reflecting patterns from sun on shade
Reflect on life and the choices we've made
Remember times in youths glade
And as it passed adults it made
As the lights pass from the days
we return to the ground we've laid

~                     History maligned
                      I have come to find
                    The past come round
                          To start again
               And go back down the slide

Let there be light
To divert the dark
Let there be love
So it will fill my heart
Let there be peace
So i may find silence
Let there be ease
So pain cannot follow
Let this be new
So i don't feel so hollow
Let there be light
And hope for tomorrow

A hint of madness
A touch of strange
And i have lost the way
A pinch of lonely
A dash of fear
And i wonder how i came here

~                      Where have they gone
                When you wake in the morning
         Forgetting they are lost to me as i am lost
                   Only ghosts and memories
               Picking fragments from the sand
       Trying to remember who i might have been
                   I know there will be dreams
                  Even though they have gone

I must go out,
The fogs are rising.
Do you hear the rain?
Do you hear the rain?
Its falling as i am.
I must go out.

Well...
I guess i shouldve just stayed in bed

~                                Away went the light
                          There was silence in my heart
                        The day i left the things I've lost
                       Inside the wind there where tears
                       Old dreams where like memory's
          Life left years for love but we have to face the winter
                     Cold i lay gentle hearts fire gone out
                     Someday beauty may grow from me
                 Slowly passed and filled the autumn moon
                   Midnight summers is where i will dream
                        Find me where you first found me
                             Under blue shattered sky's
           Starlit corner where are whispers turned to starlight
                              Beneath the weeping tree
                              In the valleys of our youth

What do you do when it all falls down?
Do you pick up the pieces even if theres only ash around
Do you sit down to cry hoping soon you will die
Or do you try to leave the past behind
And standing hope that you will find
Another path
One more chance

So this is me,
This is what I've become?
Of all the turning roads,
This is where I've come?

~                                               Sleep
                            Let peace come in the morning
                       Let gentle happiness come afternoon
             when evening comes as light slips from the sun
        Ill dream of subtle pretty things as another day is done

~                                When i sleep
                                 I am the ocean
                                   I am the sea
              I am winter wind through dying leaves
                  I am a bird that dives in the breeze
                            I am her as she is me
                     So when the light is to bright
                Close your eyes and dream of night
                   I am a ball that bounces down
                     I am an old merry go round
                I am the grass thats growing slow
                     I am a man with an old soul
                     I am the gentle autumn rain
              I am the winter when the dying begins
                               So hold me close
                                But not for long
                       soon enough i will be gone
                               I am not the grave
                           You dug in the ground
                              I am in everything
                                I am all around
             So when you wake In the midnight dark
                     Do not cry i am in your heart

~              Isn't it strange the words that we say
                         These emotions we have
                   are just masks that we've made

We could be stars
We could be trees
We could be everything you wanted to be
We could fly high
We could dive low
We could be everywhere you want to go
We could be sweet
We could be sour
We could sit and watch the stars for hours
We could be large
We could be small
We could find the love that is laced in us all
We could stand tall
We could fall
We could kneel at our place in the wall
We could be one
We could be everything
We could have it all
We could grow old
We could die young
We could stay up
We could sleep in
We could wake up to find its all alright

~                      I stood outside her heaven
                            Hoping for a glimpse
                       Through crystalline window
                     Of multi faceted stained glass
                         It made her look an angel
                       Yet i know a demon resides
                          Beauty from the outside
                            But rotten black inside
                  Sweetest words with dark beneath
                 Even though id like to throw a stone
                     To shatter the silence between
     The rot inside pushed you far away from what is me
                     Ill shed a tear for cold lost years
                         And turn to find my heaven

~                  Where is my fair love
                   Who filled me with joy
                  And fed me her beauty
               Kept me well with her love
                    With eyes so green
              As the pool in the meadow
         So deep i could fall in and drown
   Yet death with her would not be so sorry
       Wrapped inside her warm embrace
       Better than living a thousand years
             And never seeing her face
   But not long ago her tree began to wither
               A darkness grew inside
              Pulling her love and light
        Leaving her withered and dying
     And when she passed her final wish
       Was to be buried in our meadow
            I can see from my window
             The land where she lays
     I planted a willow instead of a stone
                  And on it i carved
        "Lay me in meadows of green
                 Under skies of blue
                 Don't weep to long
             For ill always be with you"
      Her life was in trees and meadows
          Her life was of love and beauty
                I know she waits for me
               Where the water is sweet
             Where there air is of crystal
       At the end of the path we will meet
    Hand in hand we will walk into the dark

~              I woke early one morning
                  Turned to her and said
                      Irene i love you so
            But i just have to let you know
          The things you do are killing me
           Even though it seems real slow
                You say that you love me
               And you'll never let me go
If thats true why are you as cold as winter snow
           A queen of ice on a throne of bone
         The winter palace you call your home
               Unfortunately i hate the cold
          And cannot live on thorn and bone
                      so it occurs to me
            That you seem like a winter rose
               Beauty for the looking glass
                    But not for me to hold

~                     A life goes out the window
                         Sans the shoot of course
                          Flying last few seconds
                           Last moments of glee
                 I saw my mom and my father too
                    My family that days have past
                                 There is me
                                sitting quietly
                      In the lull beside the brook
                Those where all the happiest days
                             Me my dog and i
                      Needed no one to get by
                      The smells where sweet
                           And colors bright
                              All the things
                            ill take with me
             Into that gentle sweet goodnight
                         The moments done
                           The time has run
          And now here comes my setting sun

~                   The moon is high
                       As children cry
              Away within their slumber
                    On mares of night
                  That bares the blight
                     Of goblins gleam
                   And wicked things
                  That creep through
                    Your cellar door
                    A creak on stairs
                  The wind out there
         Sounds like a thousand hands
                    Of darker things
             The ones you don't let in
      Are watching through the window
     With crimson grin and glowing skin
      They'll scratch upon your window
                 But Their out there
                    As your in here
                  So close your eyes
                    And bundle tight
                     For you my son
                     I say goodnight

~                               Emily gets this
                                 Emily gets that
                     Emily gets whatever she wants
                           While i get **** in a hat

~                           I am what you will be
                       After birth and death you see
                      Back to clouds and everything
                       Back to all the ones that leave
                     Comforting to have the thought
             Whether long or short ill go back to start

~                                    A doom lies to the east
                                       See the infernal lights
                                       Ride with the sun rise
                               The monsters are multiplying
                               Monsters in the hearts of men
                       As kindness dies and grace is forgotten
              There are other worlds only choice that separates
           A thin veil that keeps the horror between the worlds
                               Every dream and night terror
                         merely glimpses through the mirror
                      To grimace in seeing it grin back at you
                             Knowing that they are coming
                                            And with them
                                      The dying of the light

~                           **** shot shoot first
                              Preemptive strike
                           Ends before beginning
                              for he who hits first
                                    Laughs last

~                         Where's the me as i am too
                 The red The green The brown The blue
                       Broken clocks the ticking stops
                          All above our chimney tops
                     Mantle brown yet greyed with age
                    On it we keep the lives we've made
                        Earth and ash as dust in bone
                        Where we live we call it home
                      The place we hide inside our lies
                          Reside today its slow decay
                       Tomorrow dreams of yesterday
                       Watch the sun with mystic hues
                 The red the orange the green and blue

~                           I would tell her about it
                       About all my hopes and dreams
                             Show her i cant give it all
                         But ill give her what she needs
                          I would build a house of card
                         As long as she is here with me
             I would tell her everything that I carried along
                          Shed the tears we need to cry
                        And share our haunted dreams
          I would give you everything you thought you need
                 There on the porch we would sit in the eve
                              Watching our lives trickle by
                               Knowing you are all i need
                           I woke up with tears on my face
                             Knowing it was all a dream

~                           Its appears that you failed to hear
                                     The words i spoke to you
                     The chirp of crickets in smooth velvety night
                             Thats all i hear you've left me dear
                                     So here ill sit and ponder
                               Of many things the lights within
                                       Shall slowly rediscover
            So in my mind i may find the peace that i uncovered
                     I may sleep to dream to dream of starlight

~                              Here comes the rain
                           As winter turns to spring
                            There was a dying boy
                      But the rain gave him life again
                   withered stalks and browning fields
                                  Will gasp with joy
                      as soon they'll be turning green
                        bees are flying tending flower
                           for spring has come again
                            Raining is flowing down
                       It feels like tears are on my skin
                           Enjoy today before to long
                         Autumn winds will blow again

~                        To many hours
                            In a single life
            Minutes seconds and years fly by
               What was here is gone today
         Now only the memory inside will stay
              We make our circles in the sand
         What has gone will come round again
          So keep the pace and work the days
                          And all that is lost
                       Will be found some day
