We all know the tale of Romeo and Juliet
The greatest tale of love and death
But we don’t know the tale is repeating
In the twenty-first century

The youth of the day
Act out this play
Like a dog’s tail
Being chased all day

Like when two strangers meet
On the dance floor
But they know they can’t be
Because of their tree

Because the love in this tale
Is a type of unique
For it is a forbidden love
Not able to be free

It’s a love of secrets
But a love still
Love at strong as stubborn will
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
Pain is rain in the night
Hiding your tears from those in sight
From the lonely abuse
To the mental heights
Pain is rain in the night

Pain from those
Who have long since gone
And those who are left
Don’t care or bother at all

But loves first steps
Take the pain away
And the wind picks up
And sweeps you away

Then you start at the beginning
Of an unknown road
Hand in hand
With the one who filled the hole

It’s a creepy mist
That hides your sight
But through the pain
Creates a light
So you can see through
The pain in the night

Have you ever
Had a dream?
Well take it from me
We all have dreams

We all want to fly
Reach up and touch the sky,
We all want to see
What others think.
Take it from me
We all have dreams


It may be big
Like a skyscraper tall.
It may be small
Like a mouse’s paw


No matter how big
No matter how small
It’s not insignificant
Not at all.
So take from me
We all have dreams

What do you think
When you see that woman on the screen
Do you think man that’s hot
Or ugh let’s not

It’s good if you say
Ugh let’s not
Because man that’s hot
Leaves your brain to rot

And man that’s hot
Makes your family distraught
And make you think of women
As an object
To be thrown away on the spot

If you’re ugh let’s not
And move to another plot
Spend life without an addiction
Ripping you apart
Then
You can love with all your heart
Please don't steal my work I have not had any of my poems copyrighted.

What do you do
When you don’t know what to do
‘Cause your brain is gone
And your heart is too

What do you see
When all you can see
Is death and decay
All around thee

What do you touch
When all you can fee;
Is the coldness of others hearts
And the hatred of yours too

What do you hear
When all the sounds can hear
Are the cries of pain
And others tears

What do you smell
When all around you is death
And the scents so sweet
Aren’t what they seem to be
What can you taste
When you have tasted death
‘Cause everything you eat
Becomes bitter
And sour, not sweet

They always say
The good die young
I wonder why
This isn’t a lie
Because when kids die
They are pure inside

But when they die
We wonder
Why is the world cruel and evil all the time?


That’s because when we see
Someone try to plant a seed
We just leave him be
But when we see that seed sprout
We run over to stamp it down


But if that person builds a fire
We don’t try to douse it with water
We wait till it spreads
Then turn him into
Cannon fodder
And run him out of town
Hunt him down
Open him up
Or let him drown

So please rethink
When you say the good are weak
They are some of the strongest people
You’ll ever meet
They stand
When people want them to fall
They stand tall through it all


So please rethink
When you say is weak
'cause just remember
They stand on solid feet

Wrists of red
Eyes of black
All I know
Is steel has my back

It manifests pain
Into something real
As I run my blood
And try to heal

For this thing
That’s gripping me
Is making my life
Go through this strife

Gun to head
Plans all set
‘Bout to break
This caps head

And on that second
All I see
Is the Lord’s face
Staring at me

He says to me
“What have you done?
Hope you had fun,
But your time is done”

“But if you tell me
You will try
To make a better life
You won’t die”

So you wake up
On a hospital bed
You reach up
And grab your head

You feel the mistake
And you realize
You have a *****

To dig your soul
Out of its hole
So the world will know
God wants all of us to come home

To be with him
Forever last
And now you know
He wants you back.
