ice

I'm looking at you
Yet I don't recognize you
What happened to us?


Your touch is like ice
So frozen that it consumes
The heat we once had


Try to remember
When did that flicker die out?
And leave us alone


Everytime I think
The answer slips through my mind
Slippery are you


Beating my head now
Whatever happened to love
Grown icy and cold


Were not meant to be
And that is o.k. with me
Remember my touch

Pornography
Written By Semper Fi Reborn

He was seen as a strong man,
Yet inside he was weak.
He was enslaved in chains,
By the pleasures he'd seek.

The video store,
Had become his church.
A quest for perversion,
His daily search.

He'd pop in a movie,
And watch with glee.
The sickness and filth,
Upon his TV.

Never realizing at all,
He was being changed.
The way he viewed women,
Had itself derranged.

He sought out the company,
Of prostitutes.
Cheap affairs,
Quick rendevouz.

All because,
Many can never see.
The damages done,
By pornography.

Hello my dearest.
I just happened
to pass this way.
I thought I would
Put these flowers
Where you lay.
I look around
and all I see
Are flowers and trees.
They're so soft and green.
Oh, how I miss you,
Darla Marie.
The Children ask
"Where has mommy gone?"
I tell them that you
Have found a better home.
They're missing you
Almost as much as me.
And how I love you
Darla Marie.

My very good friend posted an original poem of mine on here the other day that was very dark, so just to show another side of me, here is another original poem i wrote for her. i hope you enjoy it.


if i could hold you in my arms,
and learn the mystery's of your charms.
if i could see you face to face,
or feel the warmth of your embrace.
if i could look into your eyes,
and walk across the bridge of sighs.
if i could kiss you on your lips,
so tenderly.-(ohh, what bliss)
if i could run my fingers through the hair,
that frames your face,
to show i care.
if i could make you catch your breath,
from down deep inside your chest.
if i could feel your heaving breast,
as we made love,
my desire could rest.
if i could drink your nectar, from your cup,
without hesitation, i would drink it up.
if i could make your heart skip a beat,
this would make my day's complete.
if i could do all of the above,
then you would feel ,
my one true love.

"Fire and Ice" - 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've read this poem numerous times. It fascinates me so much, but it's so ambiguous.

The Flow

Go ahead let them break your heart!
let them break your heart
let them tear you apart!
the cold and the ruthless
try your best!
try your best!
let them break your heart
let them tear you apart!

Forget to remember
cause when you remember too much
your insides turn black
and blue
and they drip right out of you
and your tounge hangs out
blood empties and makes a mess
You drown in your own fece!

Emotions frozen
In a dark cold shell
It keeps me from showing
What heart is set

It's like a spell
Which i cant escape
I've made a vow to you
I'll love you forever

This spell is mysterious
It inpowers me so
Devouring my very soul
Leaves me un-empty

The mist is starting to clear
And so is my heart
Now i know
This spell is love Thanks i also write songs

Looking in your eyes
I feel myself falling in love with you
You said I love you
And I said it too

We went to our very own special spot
For no real reason at all
We sat and talked and looked at one another
And then the rain began to fall

We could have left just as quick as we came
But no, you wanted to stay in the rain
You asked me a question I�ll never forget
Have you ever tasted the raindrops?

I looked at you funny and you gave me a sigh
The cutest look, as I wondered, why?
Why, did you ask me to taste the rain?
Well, what did have to loose or gain?

I watched you with a careful eye
And did the same as you
You were looking up at the cloudy sky
But my eyes were stuck on you like glue

I lifted my head to look at the sky
And closed my eyes really tight
Just as I thought I�d caught a raindrop
You suddenly held me tight

I opened my eyes with slight alarm
As you kissed me soft and sweet
I remember that kiss like it was yesterday
I still feel those raindrops on my cheek

I tasted the raindrops like I never had before
It was worth every second of bliss
Every time I think of that moment
I think of my raindrop kiss

We sat close together on that one special rock
And we held each other tight
Then almost as suddenly as it came
The sun came out from beneath the rain

The most beautiful colors I�ve ever seen
Came out on the western sky
The sun was setting and the moment was perfect
More than any money could buy

As the sun slowly set and the sky lit up
You began carving our names in our special rock
I told you I would never forget this moment
In my heart this memory is locked

As our names were finished and permanently engraved
We watched the sun finish its day
We slowly got up to leave this place
Which was a year ago this May

I haven�t been to that spot in a year
Where did all the time go?
I will visit this place alone this time
And I will finally have to let go

This memory will be in my heart forever
But you will not remain in my mind
I don�t know if that love, will be seen again
For that love I cannot find

I will go to this spot as we promised we would
But you will not be there this time
Why is it that you can�t keep your promise?
I know that I�m keeping mine

Never again will I taste the raindrops
The way I did with you
And when I go to this spot again
I will say goodbye to you.

I don't know what to say
I'm sorry doesn't even cover it
I could say I know what you're going through
but that would just be more lies
Trust me, I could tell you
Even though you have no reason to
I never ment for this to happen
and that's the truth
I didn't know how this was going to end
That's not a lie
Follow your heart
But look what it got you
More grief and dispair
If you can't trust your own heart
Then who can you trust?
They say wounds heal with time
Is it true?
The question is
Can you ever forget?
Do you want to forget what happend?
It's the only memory you have
Can you believe in it again?
Or is this just a nightmare
With reality hidding somewhere?

Eternity's Home...sonnet*


What price to welcome Eternity home...
What price has our sun paid for it's rising,
Shining, on Forever...faraway lands...
Squealing, laughing, children playing in sands

Where ancient reptiles left their tracks behind...
Where dolphins mated water, earth, water.
Who tore Eternity's spinning apart...
Why hasn't it's mending ended? But starts

Again each day, one hour closer in Time.
Again, light laughter of unknown children
Sifting Forever through little fingers...
Settling for food, warmth, sleep. Answers linger

In every birth, in each child...Welcome
For Eternity. And, in their eyes...Home.

Earth-Woman*


I am woman and I have borne the Torah on a gold cloth
Over my shoulder.
I have consecrated its dust-leadened parchment,
Cradling the scrolls into temple darkness...
Clicked-shut the doors, saddened and empty.
I am of childbearing age...
I am crimson with life.
I have touched the Ark.
I have read the Covenant.

I cannot lighten the laws of heaven.
I have nothing to do with clouds or sin, but
I could have shown them where Eden was hidden...
The forgotten way going home again.

I have caressed the male god on his couch
In a ghost-haunted room, a candle-dark room...
Remembering a soul, but eyes with no spark.
I have soothed his forehead in the dead hours,
Softening his terror, silencing his scream,
'Mother, do not leave me again'.

I cannot replace the laws of heaven.
I have nothing to gain from angels or sin, but
I put him on the road to Eden...
The long-hidden path going home again.

I am woman and I come adorned with a
Mitre of thorns.
I own salvation, blessed and chaliced...
Giving to sinners,
Selling to saints.
I have witnessed the sins of gods.
I have dried the unwarranted tears of Eve.
I have confessed and absolved the dead.

I will not revise the laws of heaven.
I will not tamper with death or sin, but
I will wait for you in Eden...
At the end of the road going home again.

i really like the idea in this poem, but it is kind of sucky. thanks for any suggestions.

I am Unconfident
A dune of sand
Changing with the slightest breeze
Having no shape of my own

I am Ordinary
A mass of plain dirt
The elements shape me to their will
Only occasionally hitting steady rock

I am Thinker
A sheet of clay
Once soft and malleable
Now hardened to rock

I am Me
A block of stone
Never moving, never changing
No matter the pressure

And I am Revolutionary
A mountain of rock and ice
The glacier, melting and freezing as the elements command
But with a heart of granite

I know how to blend in, be who they are
Standing out just enough to noticed
Then gradually I reveal who I really am
They follow like sheep

I tell Unconfident who to be
Create the mold for Ordinary
Make the initial cuts in Thinker
And do my best to break down Me

I am Gandhi, Galileo, Napoleon, Dr. King
I change your world into mine

*****
Winter’s Way

Icy slabs of concrete make every step a study
A thoughtful plan of placement and of stride
The fall, always regarded, and the catching
There’s much more to be broken than your pride

You glance around for soft spots
Or hope to find a thoughtful patch of sand
Winter’s brittle body, endless graying
Like the longing of an ungloved frozen hand

The pathway is hardest in this final season
Time moves slipping down the frigid glass
You see the vapors chilling condensation
And wish you’d known this future in your past

Fleeting Memories

I wake up, slip on my shoes
Eat breakfast, watch the news
Things are dull, things are sad
No more reasons to be glad
A normal day in the life we live
I need something more to give
Slip in the car, I need to get away
There’s nothing more to say
It’s hard to pretend there’s nothing wrong
I’ve been pretending for far too long
The notes of life have skipped a beat
I’m moving like I’ve got two left feet
Just hold me, say things will be alright
Maybe someday we can find the light
Like the ocean and the sand
We walk hand in hand

.....Star Journeys: Morendo...Yet, Reincarnation


Know that we will meet, before I leave...
In the way of wolves...
Chilling voices through canyons'
Twilight...
Full moon silhouettes,
Frost-puffed, 'I am here.'

We will meet, before I leave...
In the way of eagles...
Winging tumbles through sky
Theaters...
Weaving cloud nests,
Mate-calling, 'I am here.'

Before I leave...
In the way of children...
Giggling echoes webbing
Playgrounds...
Swinging high...low,
Up...return...
Once more, 'I am here.'

the world is not a pleasant place

a river would stop
its flow if only
a stream were there

an ocean would never laugh
if clouds weren't there

What do you think of this poem? It doesn't have a title yet. Thank you for your time!


That little boy blue sits crying in the night
He cries “Daddy why?”
Beaten down and kicked around
Childhood of pain
Swore it wouldn’t be the same

Little girl sits scared in the night
She cries “Mommy why?”
Bitter words and angry tears
Childhood of pain
Swore wouldn’t be the same

They were young, fifteen at most
It seemed like the perfect escape
But was it love or was it lust?

Graduated and educated
Moved to a big town and married
They both escaped a childhood of pain
Swore it wouldn’t be the same

Some years down the road the time was right
Their daughter’s birth was a beautiful sight
She wouldn’t grow up with a childhood of pain
They swore it wouldn’t be the same

I was beaten down and kicked around
Bitter words and angry tears
I endured a childhood of pain
The bruises have faded and the tears have dried
The nightmares still remain
I can't let it be that way

I am right here i`ve gone nowhere my friend;
You look right past me no kind word or hand to lend.
Everyday i sit here and you dont seem to notice;
The sacrifice i make but what i propose is.
Take a minute from your busy life;
Hold out a hand your left or your right.
I will be there with no word to say;
Just a small smile and nuzzle my way.
My heart is like yours my fears just the same;
I get cold, i get hot, i get sick, i get lame.
Please dont think of me as a toy on a shelf;
To be taken down dusted off i am real like yourself.
All my love i give without cause;
Never do i hesitate wander or pause.
I am for you to hold and protect;
Not to push away, ignore or neglect.
My love is for you because you are all that i am;
Please dont ignore me just hold out you hand.
