a permanent frost
has become me
and no matter what i do
i have become
infinitely
eternally
cold
I can't tell you enough,
How much you really mean to me
All the stars in the night sky
Could not sum up my feelings for you
Every time I want to speak to you
All I can say is i love you
Einstein may be smart but he does not know
That with my mouth I say sincerely from my heart
I LOVE YOU
If god looked down upon me,
His love to the world could not measure to what I feel for you
Girls could say they love me but my heart truly belongs to you
So please answer this one question
While I'm on my knee
Will you marry me?
I know she's there inside of me
and how she makes a scene,
    just when I see you with her,
         I turn a little green.
All I want for Christmas
is some food to eat.
Oh what a treat
to have some meat.

All I want for Christmas
is clean water to drink,
stuff that doesn't stink,
that would be cool I think.

All I want for Christmas
is the bombs to stop,
no more to drop.
That would be the top.

All I want for Christmas
is for our food to grow,
the plants we sow
now that would be a show.

All I want for Christmas
is to be free to learn.
Not to be a germ
because I want to learn.

All I want for Christmas
is some medication.
and some dedication
from the United Nation.

All I want for Christmas
is to grow up strong.
Am I so wrong
wanting to belong.

All I want for Christmas
is some equal rights
and somewhere to sleep
through the coldest nights.

All I want for Christmas
is to earn a crust.
With employers
that we can really trust.

All I want for Christmas
is a chance at life
for a man and wife
not to live in strife.

All I want for Christmas
is oh so far away
and on this day
this is what I pray.

it doesn't take much to shut me down

one word from your mouth and i'm crying
in the bathroom third period
looking at my reflection
praying no one walks in

one look of disgust across the cafeteria
and i have to be excused
i have 'business' to attend to
good thing i don't eat
because i wouldn't have been able to keep
the food down like my stuffed emotions

one condition and i'm crushed
by the lack something i wasn't even owed
Another "day" poem. This one is shorter than the last one I did, back in... September... I think.
So here's my day, given the off chance someone cares.

these thoughts...
they are my own,
walled within the deepest recesses
of my
cerebral labyrinth.

sprouting out of vine covered walls,
are multicoloured blooms
brandishing thorned stems
and
thirsty stigmas,
dripping with
absinthe.

mind full of poison in
permissible amounts...
i am caught in a
web of restless stupor,
anguish...
and regression...

these thoughts...
rationed out sparingly,
for they're not for unready ears
blooms of thought meticulously
triaged before
necessary expulsion.

hairline cracks between
insanity
and peace...
i tread precariously
the fine,
meandering line.

still clutching my flowers
in a tight obstinate grasp...
not letting go
for these tainted blossoms
are
undoubtedly
mine.
