The New Kestrel Mar 2013
Sticks, Stones, Broken Bones.
Words aren't supposed to hurt us.
We are so naive.
The New Kestrel Mar 2013
A new car.
A new necklace.
A new belt buckle.
All begin to rust.
When using them,
touching them,
the grime rubs off,
leaving spots on once
only lightly scarred skin.
What if the rust and grime
Soaks in?
running through one's
blood stream,
like an Olympic sprinter.
Flowing, casually,
Through limbs,
To the brain.
What if that
makes a difference?
I think  it makes
my writing pointless.
Leaves me with no inspiration.
Maybe, Maybe, Maybe.
That's what it means to be...
*RUSTY

Time ticks today, as it did last Tuesday.
Tick, Tock, Chime.
Flying by and I don't know why.
Tick, Tock, Chime.
Boredom comes out to play.
Tick, Tock, Chime.
Time is forever here to stay.
We had a stupid project to write a poem with onomatopoeia. Its stupid but its kinda cute!
The New Kestrel Mar 2013
The chills received
From a brushing of lips,
Painting a masterpiece only the artists understand;
From a caress of the cheek,
Causing goose-flesh to creep along limbs.
The enlightenment found
In an impenetrable embrace,
Strong branches of a body
Encasing another's waist.
The desire felt when
The closeness is not close enough;
The lover is too far away,
But the closeness is forbidden,
For that lover is a phantom.
A shadow of a dream.
The half empty space, a void,
As no one wishes to fill it;
As no one wishes to accompany me.
The New Kestrel Mar 2013
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long.
"I know that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend,
Or wise man could decide
Whats right for you- just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.

~Shel Silverstein

I can't do it.
The pounding in my head
As I try to think
Is unbearable.
wdors jbmule
Making it impossible to continue.
The words i try to put onto my page
Stay on my tongue,
fighting to stay together
As they slip.
I hate Writers Block.

No, I don't want a fairy tale.
No, I don't want a Prince Charming,
nor a Princess to confess my love for.
No, I don't want a beautiful wedding
in the woods or near a stream.
No, I don't want my career to make me rich.
No, I don't want my lover to kiss me until I faint.
No, I don't want my children to run and play,
making the best experience out of life.
No, I don't want my daughter to grow and meet her Prince.
No, I don't want my son to find his Princess,
get on his knees and give her a silver ring with the purest of gems.
No, I don't want to die happy, with my grandchildren surrounding my bed.

Let me tell you something.
Let me teach you a lesson.
Let me talk to you,
through this poem,
in a Sarcastic tone.

Duh...
