Shielf yorself
From others hate
For those arrows are sharp
And always penetrate
Even through the adrenaline
You might not feel it
But the wound is there
Pussing and peeling
Shield yourself
From enemies hatae
For it's not worth
The furure pain
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
Government
People
Work
Or games
We are all a slave
A slave to something

Whether we be chained to a desk
Or chained to a wall
Glued to a keyboard
Or let the government make the calls
We are all slaves

What slaves don’t see
Is that there be
Many ways for us to get free

Whether it’s faking a cough
And making a call,
Whether it’s shutting off.
Or taking freedom for a walk

Cause you can be free
Slavery is a state of mind
That is all

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
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
Nathaniel R Horn Jul 2011
What do you see
When you see a dead tree
Do you leave it be
Or pray and see

If you leave it be
Here’s the thinking key
You’re abandoning
A poor helpless tree

But if you pray and see
And tend to the tree
It’ll not only grow
But bear fruit
And you can continue on your way

But it is up to you
Which road to choose
But here’s a pondering thought
Is not life worth saving?
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
Nathaniel R Horn Oct 2013
Standing on the devil's spine
Looking out on the abyss
Of lost green souls caught on brown pikes
Thinking of what would happen
If I joined their ranks
Then I notice
I am falling
Looking at the head
Of the devil himself
Grinning at his new soldier
As I look
Upon my soul's decent
I cherish the freedom
Of that falling sinner
For it's time to start over
And finish the walk across
Nathaniel R Horn Sep 2013
When the moon is full
And I squint just a bit
It forms a dove
That brings much bliss
When depression grips
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
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
Please don't steal my work I have not copyrighted any of my poems

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”

Your long blonde curls
The Labyrinth my hands can't wait
To travel through to find your waist
As we start to unfurl

Your soft pale hands
Sensually finding their way to mine.
Making my wrist lose track of time
If only  could have been a man

For those dreams happened in my head
Because I was more scared
For the actual love we shared

I'm glad those days are dead
Well, almost there
Because I want you to be mine, never to share
This is a revision of a Petrarchan Sonnet I wrote for class. This is probably one of my favorite poems I have ever written.
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
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2013
Laying here awake
Queen stuck in my head
Shouting the anthem
Don't stop me now

Laying here in bed
Wishing you were near
But I guess I'll just smile
And remember the days we've done

Relaxing here giggling
Over things I've done in my past
Over things I wish to do with you
It's kinda silly
A plastic card separates us

Relaxing here dreaming
Of the day I reach over
And pull you close
And fall asleep
With the scent of you in my face
Nathaniel R Horn Jul 2013
Words to brighten your day:
Remeber you're special
In you're own way
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
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 Nov 2013
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder why you are
Oh so very shy

You always run to hide
Only to show your face
Turn beet red with shame
And then run away

Even all of your siblings
Do exactly the same
In that wide open field

Why don't you get my signal
For me to make my wish
Why are you so selfish?
Nathaniel R Horn Dec 2011
Vis medicatric naturae
The healing of the mother
She knows the best medicine
From the dirt she heals

We don’t understand her healing techniques
But vis medicatrix naturae is impossible to beat

We might not think she’s right
When she takes away our loved
But what is giveth
Is taketh away

Vix medicatric naturae
The healing of nature
Mother knows best
Let her find the cure
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
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.
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??
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
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 Apr 2013
I still owe you proof
Of why you are amazing
But I didn’t want to sound too stupid
Or too crazy
Or utter cliché things
That wouldn’t cause you to move

Here is why you’re amazing
Because you saved a boy’s life
Both inside and out
You loved this demon
When it didn’t deserve love
You mended its scars
As soon as they were cut

Because of you
A scared little boy’s shell
Wasn’t shattered apart,
Just slowly chipped
Till the rest fell apart

You brought a smile
To a lonely nerd
You took his hand
When he was used to air
You lay on his shoulder
And made him stiffen like Medusa’s stare
And gave him a journal
That he filled with his despair

You are an angel
Because you love
You love Mom
You love Dad
You love my siblings
And you love nature
You caused me to grow
And love those I didn’t really know
Loulou
Will
Aunt Ginger
Jesus, God

You are outstanding
Because you care
About friends
And strangers
You sacrifice yourself
For others to be happy
You put yourself towards the bottom
So others can feel the top

You are amazing
Because you made a loner loser
Keep a jar
Of bubble soap
To blow away is pain
And hope to share with his princess one day

You’ve made a child
Who hasn’t cried in years
Bawl at the thought
That you wouldn’t be near
Or that he caused our tears

You’ve caused an arrogant gent
To stop and think
On whether it was time to grow up
Or lose his love
To stop and stare
At the road ahead
And the consequences of the path he led

You have known this “knight”
Who wears a tattered worn
Gym school uniform
And gave him hope
That he wouldn’t grow old alone

You met a child
In 2009
Whom you’ve help mold
Almost a third of his life
Into a man
Who he is proud of today

I know this is long
And it’s time for bed
But I couldn’t go another day
Without telling you the way
On which you have changed forever
The heart and mind
Of my person and my life
You are gorgeous
You are intelligent
You are stunning
But most of all
What I love over all
Is the fact that I have
The privilege to state the fact
That I love you
And that you are
Absolutely
Perfectly
Hands down
The most
Amazing person
That has ever
Entered my life
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2013
Wind
What if wind
Isn’t wind?
It’s actually our ancestors
Whispering in

Like a breeze
Isn’t a breeze
It’s their calming voice
Guiding

Or a storm
Isn’t a storm
The torment is their anger
Followed by their tears

Our ancestor’s voice
Running through the air
It’s lovely to listen to
If we just stop and hear
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
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
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 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
