Chris Smith Dark Poet Soul

I thought I saw an Angel crying,
Up there within the storm clouds.
Her tears falling with the rain,
Her sobs hidden by the sound of thunder.

I thought I saw an Angel trying,
So hard to understand those she protects.
Never seeing in the folly of so many wars,
Wondering why there is the need to fight.

I thought I saw an Angel dying,
From the lack of emotions down below.
Her heart torn by the hatred being formed,
As she felt the love flowing far away.

I thought I saw an Angel flying,
Soaring up on beautiful wings.
Because she was never giving up hope,
For she knew we still had far to come.

Forget me not.

Forget me not.

You said you'd come to tea
so I made a cake
chocolate sweet; maraschino filled;
girdled with a satin blue ribbon;
set out the prettiest plates;
hand painted with forget-me-nots.
And from the darkest corner of a drawer
found a single candle to celebrate the day.
I'd understand if you had 'phoned,
but now the chocolate lends a bitter taste
and even the despairing posies have given up all hope
as the candle's flame flickers my ever waiting shadow.

Me

Standing there-
Staring at my reflection,
I actually see
Myself for the first time in years.

My body and my mind are finally one again.

My Blue Eyes

The Freckles on my face

The Dimples of my cheeks

The waves of my hair

These things have always been mine.
**Finally feel like they belong.

Tome

Show me a story.
Show me a story were anything
and EVERYTHING
is a surprise.

A story were nothing is expected.
Where I can relish and crowd myself with
Envy because of the adventures
I am discovering.

It may not be first-hand,
as I wish.

But it is as close as I can get
to this world I long to thrive in.

And it is as far as I can get,
from the predictable reality everyone lives.

Making Easy Lives seem like Constant Battles.

Devil Has No Peace

Devil Has No Peace

I Have Been Fighting This Battle

My opponent is *5 times my size,
and 50 times my strength.

And as the fight goes on,
it begins to grow.
And I begin to shrink.

So before long it is towering over me.

STOMPING OUT all the fight I have left.

In this game the hero looses.

But the Devil goes down with me,
because without the fight,
or the victim.

*The Devil has no peace.

I have been told that this poem has a very strong impact on people, which is exactly how it effected me. This poem didn't make me stop fighting, it convinced me not to give in and to keep going. You can find the poem reflecting this positive outcome in my poetry, it is called Complete Victory. This poem is also going to be published in World Poetry Movement's book 'Stars in our Hearts' I want to thank everyone supporting me SO much, because this is an freaking amazing accomplishment at 13! And was conveniently at the top of my Bucket List... ;) I hope you enjoyed reading!

Shower

I take a hot long shower
At this odd hour
The sun is long set
As i get soaking wet
The water washes away the dirt
And with it all the hurt
My muscles relax and my brain sighs
In here i sever all ties
The constant sound of water against tiles
So many long miles

Marathon

If my fight is over,
Then why does it feel
Like I am running a Marathon?

Why does it always feel like I am
Desperate for air, wanting this fight to be over?

Why does it always feel like I am
looking for a way around the challenges
that are constantly being thrown in my direction?

Why do I always feel weak,
But strong enough to admit it?

*Because you are living life.
And in life you are always running,
even if nothing is chasing you.

Help

I love you comfort
I love you control
I love you Stranger

And I want you to know

That my thoughts
are with you,
every step of the way.

And I would like to guide you
To the place
You
     Long
            To
               Stay

Great Expectations

we all think we are going to be great
do something incredible.
we all dont pause and think what if this does not work?
we all just think its going to happen.
We think we will automaticly be incredible.
we think all of our dreams will come true
we think life is going to be easy
what people need to notice is you need some things
you need an open mind
you need an optimistic attitude
you need a brave heart
and most of all
determination
cometed
With theese two things
you will be

incredible

Determination

I will succeed
I will try as hard as i can
I will give it my all
I will know my sportsmanship
I have determination.
Your in a competition
I will win some
I will loose some
I realize the ones i loose i am not trying
i am not giving it my all
I slip through the cracks
If i give it all i got
possibly.
just possibly
I will win
I have determination
