You've got such a pretty smile
It's a shame the things you hide behind it
Let 'em go
Give it up for a while
Let 'em free and we will both go find it

I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
I know that you do not feel invited
But, come back, come back in from the cold

Tell me how you really feel
Tell me what is on the inside of you
All the somethings you conceal
Only keep away the ones who love you

Step away then from the edge
Your best friend is life is not your mirror
Back away, come away

I am here and I will be forever

I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
Trust me and don't keep that on the inside
Soon you'll be locked out on your own

You're not alone
No, you are not alone
And don't say you've never been told
I'll be with you 'til we grow old
'Til I'm in the ground and I'm cold
I'm not sitting up here on some throne
Like a dog you can always come home
Dig up a bone … look around

The Nobody girl

She leaves with the wind

No one can help her

She knows she can't win

She's heard with the echos

Because her voice is not hers

A howl at the door

Every time the wind stirs

The Nobody girl

Her pain is quite real

But she's always ignored

No one cares how she feels.

She soars off forever

Into her own little world

The only place she has

For Nobody girl

And in this new world

All her dreams are quite bright

Her visions are clear

Here, she knows she's alright

And in Nobody girl's world

With the rain and the trees

Her imagination runs wild

She let's it run free

She knows the meaning...

She floated about my eye, inside.
Torn and featureless.
Jaded words tangle.
Her worlds have been destroyed, mutilated.
Lifting from me, she sees no shine.
Just a morbid hanging light.

Blood coils around her wrists.
Struggling to emerge.
Calling out, but not even an echo.
Her mirror is my mind.
Seeing the outside.
She decides to stay a prisoner.
In My cell.

Her malice never seen.
But the darkness have witnessed the fangs.
Wanting to say she is careful and sane.
The beast is right under her skin.
Laughter is distant.
Now, it is forever tarnished.
You see and I see the neglect.
My untamed beauty.

i listen to the heart beat hit my roof
the clear beads of blood slides down onto leaves of the tree
on the the blades of innocent grass that's being pelted in the down poor

and as it beads up
it looks as if the leaves have a paper cut
like that on a kindergartners finger just learning how to shape the paper
and as it slips off and falls
it looks like the tears on that very child's face as they look for someone to make it better

and as i lay there listening to that heart of rain
i think what if every one in this world could be able to hare this delightful sound
feel the healing drops that comes from the heavens
then.. i wonder would this world be better
would people stop going hungry and thirsty
would evil one's change for the better
im not sure but if everyone would wonder about this
then couldn't we be like that sweet rain
with are hearts beating against a roof of a wondering mind as one body and soul
then could we answer those questions

If the sky opened up for me
And the mountain disappeared
If the seas ran dry, turned to dust
And the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way
By the light I see in your eyes
The world I know fades away
But you stay

As the earth reclaims its due
And the cycle starts anew
We'll stay, always
In the love that we have shared
Before time

If the years take away
Every memory that I have
I would still know the way
That would lead me back to your side
The north star may die
But the light that I see in your eyes
Will burn there always

Lit by the love we have shared
Before time

When the forest turns to jade
And the stories that we've made
Dissolve away
One shining light will still remain

When we shed our earthly skin
And when our real life begins
There'll be no shame
Just the love that we have made
Before time

Fragile


You've been biting bullets all these years, I know
There beside yourself, chokin’ up tears
And you aced avoiding possibility
When you placed your bed upon the bittersweet

Now don't you worry
There's no need to be sorry
(There's still) time to step lightly

Cos the love you used to feel is still in there inside
It may be a faded photograph
But I know you care, so don't hide
If you're scared, I'm here beside you,
If you get lost I'm here to guide you
And I’ll give peace when peace is fragile

Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile

You've been going out of way to agree

told you there was a clown~!

Poems can be short and sweet.
Some can be long and rough.
While others can be both of that stuff.

Poems have this sort of glow
And when they are running low
Someone reads them and what do you find?
A beautiful story that will get stuck in your mind.

Some poems make you cry.
Some poems make you fly.
Others can make you smile.
While some can even make you feel quite vile.

I like poems because they express feelings.
Even if you don't want anyone to know.
What is going on inseide your head.
It might even confuse you so~

This is what I want you to do.
POst this poem and I will too.
Share with the world around.
Hey look! A picture of a clown!

When your at your worst
don't pick up your purse
dept can be quite a curse

When your sad and wishing you were dead
then remember these words.."I love you"
and let it smack you over the head.

And even if its not from your chosen one,
at least its from someone. You can never say
that your not wanted. nor will you ever be forgotten.

And as I'm writing this poem, I remember something
you once said as you sat in bed.

"I'm not wearing any socks"

......As I get a nose bleed now, has anyone got a tissue? Its very much in need.
~*~Fire and Ice~*~
~*~ A Poem By Robert Frost~*~

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I love this poem.What do you think of Robert Frost's Fire and Ice poem?I remember reading it in the English classroom in school, I absolutly fell in love with it.Robert Frost happens to be my favorite poetry writer.My friends, however, don't care for poetry, while I think it's beautiful writing.What do you think?Of the poem, and his poetry?

I’m scared, my heart is racing.

That hand is coming closer.

It’s going to get me…

I can’t run, I feel pinned.

The serpent of fear is coiled around me.

It’s getting closer, that hand.

I try to stop it, my last effort.

It’s too strong, violent, merciless.

I scream, as tears flow down my cheeks.

I grit my teeth, my head pounding.

The hand is almost to me now, it’s reaching, stretching, tensing.

That hand…

That hand…

That hand… is going to get me…

Claude McKay
(1889 - 1948)



All night, through the eternity of night,
Pain was my potion though I could not feel.

Deep in my humbled heart you ground your heel,
Till I was reft of even my inner light,
Till reason from my mind had taken flight,
And all my world went whirling in a reel.

And all my swarthy strength turned cold like steel,
A passive mass beneath your puny might.

Last night I gave you triumph over me,
So I should be myself as once before,
I marveled at your shallow mystery,
And haunted hungrily your temple door.

I gave you sum and substance to be free,
Oh, you shall never triumph...

Dreaming
Wide
Awake


Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me cos I'm the one not laughing
Down here on the floor

Deflate, the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
No pretense of decor

Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

I'll dream you... wide awake

With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cos I can't let...

I know I'm here, at least I think I do.
I feel the Earth, the breeze, everything.
But what I don't feel, is the happiness everyone else seems to have.

They seem to be so cheerful, I don't understand.
What brings joy from being contained, restricted?
They say I'm a freak, because I keep to myself.
But I say it's the other way around, I think: why do they need each other? They can't stand one another.
It makes no sense, but then again, what does?

I know I'm here, at least I thought I was.
I see everyone, the walls, the horror.
What I don't see, is why I'm such an outsider, a loner.

They look at me, I look...

The Death of Lovers

We shall have beds full of subtle perfumes,
Divans as deep as graves, and on the shelves
Will be strange flowers that blossomed for us
Under more beautiful heavens.

Using their dying flames emulously,
Our two hearts will be two immense torches
Which will reflect their double light
In our two souls, those twin mirrors.

Some evening made of rose and of mystical blue
A single flash will pass between us
Like a long sob, charged with farewells;

And later an Angel, setting the doors ajar,
Faithful and joyous, will come to revive
The tarnished mirrors, the extinguished flames.

MY PEACE
IN A TIME
OF WAR

You seal your past to my imperfect present
You draw the future of my memory
You make love to the fire of my oceans
Luring in the palm of my melancholy
The drowned madness of my delusions
Just for your pleasure

You kiss the violence
Of my breathless silence
Like an explosion of shooting stars
Detangling the lust of my scars
From the bowels of my childhood innocence
Expiating the sin of my deliverance

You slap my dark passion
Your hands clutching to my armor
Your eyes hung to my emotions
Shivering love in my face
In an ageless journey to a place
Where your long sigh numbs my terror

Every...

THE SADNESS OF THE MOON

by: Charles Baudelaire

HE Moon more indolently dreams to-night
Than a fair woman on her couch at rest,
Caressing, with a hand distraught and light,
Before she sleeps, the contour of her breast.

Upon her silken avalanche of down,
Dying she breathes a long and swooning sigh;
And watches the white visions past her flown,
Which rise like blossoms to the azure sky.

And when, at times, wrapped in her languor deep,
Earthward she lets a furtive tear-drop flow,
Some pious poet, enemy of sleep,

Takes in his hollow hand the tear of snow
Whence gleams of iris and of opal start,
And hides it from the Sun, deep in his heart.
