so many lights,
so many faces.
maybe they're too bright,
maybe I just go to the wrong places.

the crowds they just walk by,
no signs of affection.
how are there so many people,
yet I can't get a connection?

I don't want to be lonely,
or regretting love every time.
been praying for an angel,
to descend from the skies.
and so little cupid,
with your arrows and wings.
shoot me down,
with a bit of everything.
and tomorrow when I wake up,
with feelings I won't remember.
I catch them and I lose them,
been waiting since november.

I'll be here whenever you need me,
I'll be here when you're down.
I'll be here for you to pour your feelings,
I'll take them and I won't drown.

Let your emotions flow onto me,
Set your mind and spirit free,
And once you're done,
*You can dance on me.

I often sit and wonder,
What the world could have been.
Without its villains and heroes,
Or without me.

Would the birds sing in the morning?
Would people be so forgiving?
Would the flowers bloom in May?
Would the night become the day?

Would the world leaders be at war?
Would their tales still be ancient lore?
Would millions of people be saved?
Or would billions more die today?

We are all so depressed,
Wanting it to all end.
Want everything off my chest,
Waiting for the weekend.

Saw it in the distance,
Maybe I'll get it someday.
A light, a hope,  a dream.
So close but so far away

Calm down,
No need to go crazy.
It’s so easy for me to say,
The screams in your sleep they never fade.

We'll fight all the monsters,
We'll keep running.
Till we get out alive.
Swear to God won't let you die.

So take a deep breath,
And think about what you say.
Don't say I don't love you,
Because you know I do.

Don't worry about tomorrow,
Don't worry about your mistakes.
If you don't worry you'll beat your sorrow,
If you don't worry you've got what it takes.

Don't cry when you die,
Don't whine when you lose.
Don't give up on you.
You know you've had a good life,
That why you're up in heaven so high.

I dream while I sleep,
Am I ethereal?
Am I just a ghost?
Am i even real?

I believe in miracles,
The reality and the dreams.
Of the people who dream and wonder,
If the world could be born anew.

Look up at the sky.
How many stars do you count?
Are you sitting there lazing,
Looking up and stargazing?

Draw a constellation,
Let your imagination run wild.
Is that an angel I see,
Or is it a child?

The stars can be anything,
You can be too.
Embrace everything,
Then life will embrace you.

Why do I feel so empty?
Why do I feel so blue?
My memories I cant remember instead,
My mind's fogged up by you.

It hurts to me,
The way you smile.
Your eyes are full of empty sadness,
Because you haven't been loved in a while.

Each page conveys the sentiment
the words, more meaning still
to pause for just, a moment
listening to, the writer's quill

Inspiration flows,
From my soul to my mind to my eye.
My quill glows,
Connecting the dots, of the paper my ally

It's there for you and me
the comradere of prose
sung, lined, rhymed, or free
and perfectly, composed

My quill sings a story,
My heart translates its feelings.
My paper is never lonely,
For the words fill its openings.

We deal with emotions
the ones, we can't suppress
words, in constant motion
poetically, expressed

The words we can,
We scream, shout or yell.
The words we can't,
We sit quietly and dwell.

The feel of synchronicity
a push, sometimes, a pull
not knowing what will, or may not be
a glass not empty, but yet, not full

Were her eyes blue?
I can't remember.
Was it hot or cold,
August or December?
Did she have green eyes?
I still can't see her.
She's long gone,
Just like the weather.
Maybe she had brown eyes,
Just like leather.
But now she's left,
Maybe its for the better.
No she had gray eyes,
I wrote her a letter.
It got sent right back,
With a return-to-sender.

I was brought here by a star,
One that I had rode on from afar.
Here on this planet called "Earth",
Was destined to be my hearth.
Millenniums folded,
The Earth moulded.
From a barren plain,
To the Earth we see today.
Then I met Man.
Gone were the forests,
Replaced by cities.
Gone were the creatures,
Who had no say.
Man was not evil,
Man had good intentions.
Shame that the life of one race,
Mattered more than the life of others.
Earth, my home.
A friend I used to know,
A girl I used to love.
Now I'm faded.

I tried so hard,
But I couldn't succeed.
But in my heart,
I know I will succeed.

I've been sent from heaven,
To assist those on Earth.
By leading the people,
I can make you the first.
People  lead by an angel,
Who will protect you from danger.

I'll follow you if the road is burning
Even when death comes calling
Even when the world stops turning
I will never stop falling

In love with you

When you're feeling small,
And the shadows close in.
Just take my hand,
And look again

The mist creeps up on you,
Like a long forgotten grudge.
And hey **,
It'll bite you like a savage foe.

You can't see through its face,
It's body blocks your smell.
When will you escape?
Only time will tell.

The heroes of long gone are forgotten,
Despite the good deeds they've done.
Now they lie in their graves rotten,
And no one knows what they've done.

The cotton picker who fought off wolves,
The candlestick maker who kept the pirates at bay.
The baker who fed the homeless with his loaves,
The beggar who brightened everyones day.

The soldier who sacrificed himself,
The nomad that fed the hungry.
The gypsy that always gave help,
The missionary that gave flowers to the sickly.

Their deeds are forgotten,
By everyone except me.
God bless them in their coffins,
And let's help others that are in need.

:)

Fresh in the morning,
The world renews every day.
Washed by the evening,
The Sun Makes Way.

I creep in the night,
You find me in the morning,
I make your mother angry,
Because I delay your schooling.

What Am I?

Look how far,
We've grown.
Look how far,
We've changed.
Look how much,
I've lost.
Look what more,
I've gained.

If you gave me a gentle push,
I'll travel further.
If you gave me a gentle push,
I'll travel faster.
If you gave me a gentle push,
I'll travel quicker.

There was once a girl,
               Who taught me many things,
To love the earth,
                    And count my blessings.

Once I was broken,
                    Beyond repair.
   I laid on the floor,
                           Full of despair.

       She walked by me,
                 I thought she'd pick me up.
     But she said to me,
                          Get the hell up.

She didn't give me a hand,
              She didn't help me at all.
She just made sure I got back up,
                           That was all.

             So I sat there,
Sobbing and crying.
Like a little baby,
                                  Moaning and whining.

            She said to me,
Why do you cry little one?
                                 There are bigger battles,
To be fought and one.

               Hearing her words,
Made me get back on my feet.
               I said no more,
I disliked defeat.

               She smiled at me at last,
Knowing she'd taught me right.
     To never give up,
                           Without a fight.

      Reaching out her hand,
           Get up she said.
                        I took her hand,
                                              Got up and went again.

I tried so hard but when I succeeded,
I forgot those who were there.
They left me with my glory,
As I slowly became history.

I sacrificed everyone I loved,
For something I didn't need.
So think twice,
No ,thrice,
If glory is really what you seek.

Roses are red,
Your eyes are a perfect blue.
God they're so gorgeous,
I think I'm in love with you.

People often tell me,
That I run too fast.
But if I go any slower,
I'll be going backwards.

The waves are rolling,
To the shore and back.
The ocean is roaring,
The waves launch one last attack.

The sun goes down,
The sky explodes.
I let the waves carry me,
And followed the ocean flow.

Wherever they take me,
I will find my muse.
Hey it doesn't matter if I die,
I've got nothing to lose.

you were always there
steady, reliable
tick-tock-tick-tock
stood there for years
never missed a beat
but you're getting older
the wood is beginning to wear
the pendulum is slowing
yet you're still going
the memories begin to fade
you still tick
but you can't remember my name.

Malefic gunner,
Limits she don't know.
Temperamental runner,
Legendary Hero.

Last Quarter,
6 points down.
Pick up the ball and throw it deep,
Let's hope you'll succeed.

Bless Us,
*Hail Mary

The meteors that fall down on Earth,
Shooting stars they call them I hear.
The blue hot comets that circle our hearth,
Like old Halley who visits once every 75 years.

You are a gorilla,
Strong, ugly and fat.
But we all love you,
And we know you love us too.
Even though you're not here,
*We'll be keeping you near.

Sometimes I hate being lonely,
On this cold and dark night.
Just need somebody to hold me,
And tell me its gonna be alright.

Two pieces of foam,
Hung to my ears.
Eradicates surroundings and makes me feel home,
Brings me music to love and hear.

What Am I?

My body is of a man,
My mind is of a child.
My spirit is chained,
My soul is exiled.
My heart is empty,
My love is dry.
But I won't give up,
Trying to break free.
I'll get there one day,
So don't waste your pity on me.

Hello, Hello Poetry,
How are you today?
What poems have you got to showcase?
A romantic poem here,
A joyful one there.
Maybe even one about lust,
Oh what wonders you bring to us.
;)

Here is tale from long ago,
It goes long but you wont get bored.
Where heroes slay a ferocious foe,
And this is their long lost lore...

Centuries ago when Romans ruled the land,
The barbaric Britons tried and failed.
To defend their noble land,
And so the Romans came and hailed.

However one queen would not have that,
She would cut the Romans down.
Despaired that her husband's death,
She made sure the Romans drowned.

Soon there were a ferocious battle,
The Britons fought strong and held.
They reclaimed their land and cattle,
And killed the Roman general.

Despite their victory,
Sadly it wont last long.
The Romans came and killed,
And the Britons were doomed all along.

The queen of Iceni,
Soon took her life.
The Britons remained buried her by a tree,
Next to her husband a loving wife.

So here ends my tale,
Its sad but true.
But to all Britons hail,
For they had victories too.

We all don't belong on this world,
It takes us a while to settle in.
But alas once we have I am told,
The future brings more in.

So don't be afraid to let go,
Don't let your joy become sorrow.
For once you have courage to lose the shore,
You'll have the bravery to cross.

Life is short,
So lets see all its splendor.
Raise your torch,
And say hello to new adventures.

Sometimes in life,
We have to take the hard way.
But when you find love,
You'll be cruising on the highway.
