Pen vs. Sword
Nathaniel R Horn Oct 2010
The pen is mightier than the sword
But how can that be?
The sword can **** a writer like me

But the pen can do things
Like stop an army in its tracks
Bring an empire to its knees,
It can even say something simple
Like a message of glee

But there is one weapon
Greater than both
We are taught to use it young
And with it more people are stung
Our voice

The voice of a martyr
One of the strongest there is
It echoes and rings
Like a resounding disc

Me
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
Me
No one would believe
The things I’ve seen
The things I’ve dreamed
The things I believe

Because what I’ve seen
Is hard to believe
But if you lived like me
It would be reality

The things I’ve dreamed
I wish I could believe
Cause they’re so far from reality
Because humans can’t see
Dragons and fairy queens
Becoming human beings

The things I believe
Can’t be dreamed
They have to be lived
To not be pretend

The things I’ve seen
The things I’ve dreamed
The things I believe
Will stay with me
Till I leave

The Deep
Nathaniel R Horn May 2013
Don't dwell
Too much on the deep
For even though you’ll find beauty
Behind every light
Could be sharp teeth

The Stranger Storm
Nathaniel R Horn May 2013
You entered a stranger
Pouring down like rain
You came through like a storm
And stole my heart away

As time went on
You intensified
But then all of the sudden
We hit the eye

The eye was large
Filled with silence and peace
But I always thought
I don’t want this storm to cease

We got to the other end
Of the deadening peace
But only to find the storm
Oh so weak

But the feeling of rain
These kisses on my face
Keep my feet going
To return us to the storm
This is related to my other poem Stranger

The Great Phrase
Nathaniel R Horn Apr 2013
A phrase of great power
The cause of much angst
The reason for many smiles
“אני אוהב אותך”

Without this feeling
Life would be less complete
“मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ”

This phrase gives us power
The feeling gives us life
To many it is worth
All the strife
“Я люблю тебя”

For the love of our parent’s
Brought us into this world
It becomes our part to say
To all hearts that meet
“I love you”

Wrists of Red(Bad)
Nathaniel R Horn Jan 2013
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
A ******* misery

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

Then the bang
As the ravens fly
And roses rain
I'm covered in my shield
Of Death's warm embrace

How do I...?
Nathaniel R Horn Jul 2010
How do I explain
For you to attain
That one of my kin
I hold in high distain

How do I express
How one who shares my genes
I wish I could turn him away
Burn him from the tree

How do I tell my family
That he’s not important to me
That if he were to die
I’d get over it sooner than the rest

Stranger
Nathaniel R Horn Apr 2013
You entered a stranger
Pouring down like rain
You came through like a storm
And stole my heart away

I used to not care for you
But now I wait every day
For you to be on
So I can talk my heart away

You’re sometimes busy
Sometimes in pain
But I know
You care every day

I helped you
You helped me
I wish we could meet
So desperately

Print this out
Hold it close
Always remember
You're my most

Wrists of Red(Good)
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
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.
Nathaniel R Horn Apr 2013
Let’s have some Fun together
And make many memories together
Share many laughs together
Enjoy each other’s passion together

I want to keep a log
Written in lines and stanzas
Of all the joys we bring
And all the rules we break

Please let me fill journals
Of the things we do together
Of the mountains we climb
And the valleys we tumble in
Let me put them together
In poems of love

You're Loved
Nathaniel R Horn May 2013
...................Years go by
                   Only to help us grow.
                   Urns could be filled
from the stRories told.
although thEre is pain,
   there is stilL
                 alOt to gain
   From this Very complex feeling.
          Don't Ever forget
              HolD this truth close
Nathaniel R Horn Nov 2012
Oh Lord you stir these embers
That have lain so long cold
Over a story of a unborn’s struggle
Far greater than my own

You have painted a smile
On a statue’s face
Whom believed was sculpted with a frown

God you have struck the match
You started the drop
I pray tonight
That the wind will stop

That First Tear
Nathaniel R Horn Apr 2011
Its midnight here
And I can feel it near
The first in a long line
Of those dreaded tears

It’s like a drippy faucet
You wipe it comes back
No matter how tight the pipe
The drip is still ripe

I don’t know why the sudden urge
It’s been countless years
I’ve been holding it back
Safe and secure

But here it comes
One, two, three
Here they come
To cleanse my cheeks

(none)
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
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
Please don't steal my work I have not copyrighted any of my poems

Wrists of red

Go through this strife

Gun to head

I'll be back
Nathaniel R Horn Apr 2010
I'll be back
I'm taking a break
What I need to do
Is put my head on straight

My mind is a mess
of junk and sin
Its full of lust
And terrible stuff

My mind is lost
And outta control
Its thought of crossing many lines
Even death row

Please don't forget me
I hope to not be long
I hope that you
Won't even know I'm gone

What's out there?
Nathaniel R Horn Feb 2013
We talk of souls
And worlds of beyond
And the mind wonders
“What souls are beyond me?”

Could it be fairytales
Hiding in the gems of trees?
Or is it gods
Playing Sims joyfully?
Are those monsters hiding under the bed,
Or Atlas letting you rest your head?

What could be out there,
In the galaxies,
In the planes?
Or are we alone,
In this giant cosmic game?
Please comment on how I can make this better. I like the concept but don't like how it is written

Music to my Eyes: Skin
Nathaniel R Horn Apr 2013
It’s Sixx AM
And I can’t help but think
Of all the love
Behind hard hearts
All the healing
Hidden in scars
All the angels
In devil horns

All of this good
Hidden under fleshy goo
Things that are immortal
Hidden inside mortal skin

Look underneath
Let the crust fall off
And light shine out
Let the world know
You are not your skin
Inspiration for the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYzT36DA0Rk
"Skin" by Sixx AM
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
You know what you see
When you can’t sleep
You may see the world
As a dream

It may be a nightmare
With *** slaves and all
It may be sweet
Like a dream of world peace

But if you’re like me
All you can see
Is the pain and anguish
Taken on by you and me

I also see death
While blood runs dry
I also see hate
‘Cause wars never die

I hope to meet
More people like me
So we can work together
To reclaim our sanity
I really hope to meet more people like me
Nathaniel R Horn Apr 2013
All I see if your love
All I feel is your hand
All I smell is your perfume
All I hear is you breathe in your sleep

As I see you cry
I feel your pain
As I hear your sobs
My body tears away

I see you rejoice
I hear you laugh
I feel your love
You take my breath away
Y'all I have no clue what to call this poem, any ideas??

Ethereal Hand
Nathaniel R Horn Feb 2013
Reach
Out of your mind
Imagine a hand
Give it a plan
Send it out
Filled with hope
Touch the heart
Of the one loved most

One Day
Nathaniel R Horn Jul 2013
One day
One day
I’ll kick this drug
Full of intimacy
One day
I’ll stick to this drug
Full off happy chemicals
One day
I’ll hold her hand
And His
As I walk through those gates
And forget this pain

Word Door
Nathaniel R Horn May 2013
The door to my room
Like the door to my head
Slowly getting filled with
Things that need to be said

Poems and quotes
Things of meaning
Slowly getting leaked
With words and feelings
That will hopefully cause some bleeding

A Poem a Day
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2013
A poem a day
Keeps the pain away
The heart-ache at bay
Lights the way

A poem a day
To keep the head on straight
To help the mind concentrate
To keep love great

Maybe.Yes!No.Maybe?
Nathaniel R Horn Jan 2013
Maybe this race
We can start as a team
But we gotta condition
See if we make a machine

Yes we fit! The machine is almost done
Let's join hands
And on this track we run

No this broke
The machine fell apart
We gave up the race
When things got ****

Maybe this walk
We can start as friends
Throw away the machine
And bond like human beings

On That Screen
Nathaniel R Horn Dec 2011
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

Why do I do this?
Nathaniel R Horn Jul 2013
Why do I write?
I always say,
I do it for me
That I don't care what others think
But in the end
I come to this site
And hope someone liked my poem

What is the point?
Whenever I do this
I never like how I sound
But can't find a tone
Or rhyme I like

I don't now why I do this
But I know I won't stop
I just wish that I could do this
And not hate my work this  much
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2013
Let’s go out
You and me
We’ll go running
Out of company

Running with shadows
Forcing us close
Running with the night
Protecting us whole

We can cry when we get back
Get angry when we return
But on our run
We’re chasing love
Inspiration: Pat Benatar's Shadows of the Night

This is one of a new project I am working on called "Music to my Eyes". This project is me pretty much writing a poem to a song but also making it a little personal.

For the inspiration of the poem here is a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgNqQ6rFGQo
