You Say you are sorry
And as much as I appreciate the gesture
I say to you
Those words are not now, nor ever will be, needed
Because despite the distance
Despite what you felt you did
There is something more important
something greater and more lasting
Than the words "I'm Sorry"
And they are this
I love you
From the depths of my soul
From the depths of my heart
I love you unconditionally
I love you because I want to
Not because I have to

You could never in a million years fail me
Because no matter what you did
No matter what you are doing
And no matter what you will do
I will still love you
I will still be here for you
I will still be your friend
I will still be everything you want me to be

As the present ebbs away
And the future looms before us
There will be times
When the things we say to each other
Promises we may try to make
That life will not let us keep
But remember
You can never disappoint me
Because I love you too much
You can never fail me
Because I care about you too much

If I could move mountains
If I could perform miracles
You would be my daughter
And we would be under the same roof
And I would shelter you
Protect you when you are scared
Love you when you are sad
Be there for you always

But life isn't always fair
We both know the realities
Of how cruel the world can be
So from here, until the end of time
Remember these words
Remember them always
I will always love you
And you are ALWAYS forgiven
Before you even ask.

I want to untangle this
Web of you all of
You your hooded eyes your
Pursed mouth your
Ebony Eyes that pull me in,
Shatter me like black holes. 
Untangle the web that you 
Have woven in my
Mind unconsciously and 
Im trapped 
Trapped
Tra-p-p-e-d
Flies in a spider
Web I'm cornered,
Helpless but do I really really 
Want to untangle you
I do but i dont i dont i dont
I dont i do dont i do Dont want to
Untangle me from you.
Me and you we're too 
Past gone to
Be saved, or is it just
Me and my fraying strings and 
What is left of my heart maybe 
Just maybe

A faceless man,sitting in his throne like chair...

smirking

as he looks down at the chessboard.

He moves a pawn into position to be taken


A man struck down overseas by enemy soldiers

his comrades collect his body after the battle


The man then looks at his companion,

the companion looks back calmly

and moves his rook to protect the Queen



A man barricades the door at his home to protect his sister

Her arms decorated with bruises, her lip is split, tears in her eyes.

Her drunk boyfriend hitting the door, screaming and cursing


The man folds his hands

then moves a knight to take a different rook

The police break down a criminal’s door,
dragging him away in cuffs


You see, we’re all just pieces on a board, puppets controlled by strings.

The strings are faith, love, hate, religion, politics

The question is…

Who is controlling us?

And are we winning the game?

A love song**

          C              
Your blue eyes
                  F                G
And your raspberry lips
         C
Your beautiful thighs
                F         G                   C
And the sweet taste of your kiss

         C
Your hair
         F             G
Feels just like fur
                  C
And your existence
                   F                G        C
Makes the rest of the world a blur


  Am                   F         C
I never want to let you go
  G                   F              C
I just want to hold you ti-i-ight.
            Am
In my arms
              F     G       C
For the rest of the night


                C
You're so handsome
        F              G
And talented too
                  C
And your smile
                 F              G                   C
Makes it clear that it is me and you

          C
Your hands
           F           G       C
Takes care of me so well
           C
And I can't help
        F          G                           C
That I'm enchanted by your spell


  Am                   F         C
I never want to let you go
  G                   F              C
I just want to hold you ti-i-ight.
            Am
In my arms
              F     G       C
For the rest of the night

its hard for us to speak as we feel.

but a poem has no rules to keep,
no untruth to shake us from our sleep.

no one to tell me i'm crazy when I repeat
the same words like a broken broken broken record,
or when I string them o ut
                   in
      nonsensi cal pa
                                 tter
                                        ns
like those girls out on the street,
because these words can bend and SCREAM.

no one ever said poetry is s'pos to make sense
just s'pos to be free
spoken from the unedited souls
of you and me


-e.r.n.

Neither standing on any pillar;
Nor fastened with any rope;
But this world is hanging;
On delicate strings of hope.

Kiss my lips and stare into my eyes
I'll forget all your faults and all of your lies.
I'll give you a chance, it's only one night of pleasure.
A night of love making that won't last forever.

We met by chance because we were both quite alone
So let's have a little fun in the no strings attached zone
We can play mature games without any regret
But when our time ends, please remember to forget

I could care less about who you are and what you do
You're just a one nighter and someone to *****
We can smile, we can laugh, but don't expect any love to come your way
I just needed some pleasure, some pain, so goodbye and have a nice day.
