Nightmares
michael warner Nov 2010
Nightmares
Night scares
Make me more aware

In the dead of night
When my soul is full of fright
Tell me why my face is white

Whats that noise?
A bell tolling
Could it be for me

Now I'm falling
Into the dark
Will I hit?

Wake up with a start
Breath is quick
Eyes start to dart

Thank god its just a dream
That's when I start to scream
For the dream is a reality
And it is never what it seems

leaving the nest
michael warner Feb 2012
Ive stuck by your side for over a year
Helping you through the places of your fears

I cared for you and took you under my wing
hoping beyond hope that you find the will to sing

Finally the time has come
you opened your wings, the song has begun

you fill the air with your beautiful voice
everyone around listens with rejoice

but now its time for you to leave the nest
Ill always love you, but its for the best.

I hope one day you'll have realized my part
In the act of saving you're heart.

As your life goes on, and i fade from your memory
you'll look back one day and wonder who it was
that saved you from misery.
I apologize for not writing anything in a while. This new poem is something that hits real close to me. comments would be appreciated. If you want a back story just message me.

Final Moments
michael warner Oct 2012
Looking up
at the sky.
Listening to seagulls
flying by.

Feel the sand
beneath your feet.
Let yourself relax
Fall into sleep.

Smell the ocean
Beautiful and infinite.
Wishful dreams
of swimming in it

Taste the rays
of a sun gone by
as you lie there
no longer alive.

Friendship 2.0
michael warner Dec 2010
Squank where did you go

I'm right here jesskimo

Where did we go

No one shall ever know

We run down the street with our hands up high

We don't care we just want to fly

Don"t think about it for too long

All we want is to get along

Wanderer
michael warner Apr 2012
Wandering the streets,
the road which none meets
the moon my light
my feet guiding me through the night
The stars are my guide
as i am along for the ride
the ride that is life
pushing through the madness
coming out, achieving happiness
As you near the end
you'll know that just around the bend
where your anger dissipates
you will be free to assimilate
the happiness around you
that the stars have guided you to
Please comment and enjoy. :)

Life
michael warner Oct 2010
in the land of darkness
where the young girl stays
all alone day after day
when one day brings a wonderful surprise
a cute little bunny with big brown eyes
she rejoices and hugs the bunny with glee
for there is no one happier then she
minute by minute the world seems to brighten
and she looks around at first very frightened
then she realizes with hope renewed
color is returning anew
she is so happy she could surely cry
so she hugs her little bunny and her soul starts to fly
she is one with the earth, the land, the air, and the sea
she is one with the birds, the deer, the rabbits, and bees
for now she knows what living really is like
its having a connection with all that is life

On the Spectrum
michael warner Apr 2012
You doubted me
you laughed at me
claimed that I never could be

A man of worth
A man of values
someone who would amount to anything

But I'll prove you wrong
I will get along
I will be a man worthy of song

Creepy and weird
that's all I ever hear
I smile at you through the insults
acknowledging you as a human being

For you could never understand the depths of my being
The love and affection for the world
My niceties being taken as hostilities
Being taken as perversions of what they really are

So I smile and laugh, day by day
never letting my true self
see the light of day

for no one could understand
what it means to me
to be a man
Please comment and enjoy. :) Share also if possible.

The One I've Never Known
michael warner Dec 2010
She is a mystery
Someone with a shrouded history

Someone who I've never really known
But someone I know i can call my own

She is a beacon of light
When I am alone at night

Someone I can talk to
When I have nowhere else to go

She is someone who doesn't criticize
But someone who has kindness in her eyes

When she talks happiness swells
Deep inside my hollow shell

She is the one who never sinks low
She is the one I've never known

The Struggle For Purpose
michael warner Feb 2012
He crawls, he falls, then crawls again
Only with purpose can he truly begin.

He struggles to kneel, struggle to feel
The beauty of life, but under life's heel.

He struggles to stand, foot and knee planted on land
He strains against the weight, he begins to understand.

He pushes against life's heel, pushing and pushing, daring to feel
He rises to his feet, overcoming life's hollow heel.

He opens his eyes, taking in the deep blue sky
He straightens his body, not yet trusting his eyes
He takes a deep breath, and lets out a sigh.

His eyes did not lie, he laughed and he cried
For he was finally free, and his heart swelled with pride.

He set out that night, guided by a full moons light
For nothing could stop him, he found his purpose in life.
Please comment :) I will keep writing as I keep thinking of them.

Midnight Hollow
michael warner Nov 2010
Forever alone in the midnight hollow

Where no one around would ever dare follow

He looks at the sky and wishes with all his might

When will it end, this god forsaken night

The wind is howling, through trees barren and naked

It seems to him that his life has been staked

For the highest bidder, his soul is to take

When out of the corner of his eye he does see

Death itself,  mysterious and free

he gestured with a beckon of its hand

He starts to follow, and leaves this land

For his soul and life will never fly again.

In the end
michael warner Nov 2010
In the end
When all is said and done
You will remember
What it really meant to be
The only one under the sun
But now you go on your own way
To a place far less gray
Where the sun shines on everyone
And all around you is a place of warmth and joy
So go on your way
The day has just begun
and for you.
it will never end
Please comment ^^

Love found
michael warner Oct 2010
in the shadow of the day
though he may not know the way
he walks down the path
that is very lonely and grey
when from in the distance he does see
a beautiful flower floating in the breeze
he runs to catch it and catch it he does
he holds it close and closes his eyes
takes a deep breath and jumps in surprise
for there is a women dressed in red
in the place of the flower that withered and is now dead
a tear comes to his eye
for the joy is to great
hes found his true love
and not a moment to late
Please comment :)
