Sometimes we go throughout our lives
And never have a clue
Of how to find true happiness
To find a love that's true
We look in different places
We open every door
But every time we end up
In a place we've been before
Each soul must search an endless path
Each heart must find it's way
With scars and tears through countless years
A price that's hard to pay
Sometimes we stay togather
Sometimes we drift apart
And sometimes life just throws a curve
Before we ever start
I don't have all the answers
Don't even have a clue
But if I have to start somewhere
I'll start by loving you..

~For Now~

Do me the honor of
telling the truth. Anything
else, only further pulls us
apart. If you're not
good, then I will
pretend to love you. It
will be my punishment on
you, for hurting me. But,
you see, mine is no
true love; so
perhaps it is
best just to say
goodbye.
Oh, but know
this: If I am still here, when
the moon has wept it's
last tear; when
the sun has bade
"Farewell!" to the Earth--then I
will still have your
picture, your words, swelling
in my heart. Keeping a light
burning, even in a frozen
place.
You may say goodbye forever,
but I will never, with still the
capability to hold tightly,
let you leave me altogether.


I would love to hear what you all think. I have diverged from my usual style, for a less technical approach. So tear it to shreds--I can take it. :-) And I would appreciate any information on the rules of free verse--I'm new to it.

Ok after my first poem this morning I was advised to say more with less. I hope nobody takes offence at this poem by the way- not my intention- it just got stuck in my head

Saw this chick
late last night.
Thought she was fit-
Bit of alright.
Now I'm wondering all day
When and where did I catch gay?

Once again- all comments welcome- I am but a poet (as technically I have written 2 poems now) in a lowly sense.

Ode To A Toad

Is it thee- majestic toad?
Residing on the lilly pad?
May I be so bold, oh toad
To pat thee on thy lumpy head?

I'm looking up at the stained sky
so my tears don't well up and fall.
Why can't people live
as they wish
I don't want a weak heart that can't cry
or the strength not to cry.
I'll search for a shooting
star to cast my wishes on, but
dawn is coming too soon
and I won't be able to find one.

There's never a day that I have
to remember you because
I never for a moment forgot you.

Whenever I'm sad I have
a habit of saying I'm ok.
After something stopped
that day, no matter
how much I pray,
I can't see a single star.

I want to see you, I want to see you.
Your smiling face in my memory is
just too kind.

There's never a day that I have
to remember you because
I never for a moment forgot you.

I want to see you, I want to see you.
Your smiling face in my memory is
just too kind.

The first time you lied to me- it stung
I realized that some trust was gone
but I forgave and we moved on...

The second time you lied- it hurt
You said we could still make it work
And like a fool- I let you lurk

Third time you lied- the damage was done
But too late- for you'd already won
Now I was scared to be alone.

If I had known from the start
how lies can pierce and burn the heart
I never would have let you stay
And may be happier today.

You say it's all to protect me
But what you are too blind to see-
from now until infinity
you'll never be the man for me.

Love is nothing without trust
My trust you sacrificed for lust
But honey I have got you sussed
now let me be for all is lost.

The problem is that when you're gone
And I'm left to contemplate alone
Why do I cry for what you've done
When you're the one who's in the wrong?

Ode to Cassandra

I had a father who couldn't show love
and a mother who loved on certain conditions..

I had an uncle who liked to drink
but it didn't like him
and many times lost control
one time beat my bare ***
until my brother dragged him away
and punched his lights out...

I had a brother named for my father
and his father before him
and he was older than me
by eight years
He was always very sweet to me
Until after he taught me things
showed me things
he felt guilty about showing me...

Grandfather loved me
in a more special way than most
even though he was old
and didn't have much
but he had plenty and he gave it
to me...

Kimmy was my best friend
Hugged me everytime we parted
and every time we got together
And we pretended to be boy and girl
then stopped pretending
and I showed her things
she moved away and I was sad...

Amber came along when I was dying
a lonely death
and gave me life
taught me a few chords on the guitar
we made love and made music
and then she got scared
and died a lonely death...

My mother is still alive
My father died and his father before him
My brother walks and talks his death
I don't know where my uncle is
and I really don't care...

But you know amid all of this
there is a song
words and music
a heartbeat
Long black hair
Dark eyes looking back at me
in the mirror
and I sing
for I know the truth...

I was there
when it all happened
I just got in the way of the battles
some had with themselves
I was not real to them
but purely an object...
It was the pure that saw me
for who I was
And in the light they left behind
I see myself for who I am
the bruises healed
the heart mended
I am strong
beautiful
sensuous
passionate
and in the place of false modesty
above all else
honest.

It's about old love and trying to forget about it.

Why be sad?

Is it because I'm not near you?

Is it because i'm not holding you?

Is it because i forgot to call you?

I'm sorry for being a fool I'm sorry for blocking you.

I miss you But why so sad? I didnt mean to hurt your feelings that bad

Sometimes I miss holding you too

Sometimes I miss being near you

Sometimes I miss you calling me

We cried over everything else but let's not cry over an old kiss.

I guess..But why should we be sad about this?

I know it's short but tell me what you think of it so far.
I'm only 15 so Sorry if it's crappy

Ordinary Things

Tuesday night the snow fell
In Biblical proportions
And piled in deep drifts
That obscured the road
And in the morning
We pondered the snow blower
Its reek and roar
Or the shovels
And our aching backs.

We watched our breath,
Exhaling white streamers
Into the bitter cold
Just there in the garage.

Having done neither,
Our fingers tingling,
Frost forming in my beard,
We decided that not one
Or the other had merit
And contented ourselves
With hot chocolate
And books
And waited for the snowplow.
Or the spring.

I have been posting my poems in yahoo answers to get honest reviews.This is my third poem.Please, write your reviews.Thanks.
"twisted love"
walking through this neighborhood with the beloved
so sweet dreams, so proud, so moved
we made envys in the spring of dove
oh! they called it "a shakespearean love"

blossoming with flowers in the quiet evening
in the affair of hearts, the words of giving
tears of joy when we were shared
the swear of life after life to be paired

hurt in love? yes, took me from home to street
wandering nights, hiding days try not to meet
the same neighbors showed hatred once so near
planting the flower of love, forever, faraway o' dear?

This one's called.....

Mad!

Let's get in a huff about stuff,
have a fit about diddly squit.
I want to breath fire, and kick dirt in the shin,
make a din.

Being awkward is a game of,
something unashamed of.
Hissy, wollocks, blinkin, beedin, muddy, cuss tard,
I feel a bit hard.

Don't give me lip I'll give yer jip,
I'm worryingly good at being a bit ch.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angwee,
I won't be calm get it, I haven't said dang it, yet!

Lets just flip out and move about,
I will wrinkle my face and be a disgrace.
Smash up fings just cause I can't play nice,
it's full moon madness that brings on me badness.

I used to be a dyslexic werewolf but I'm alright K'nooooooooooo!?

I woke up today with a tear in my eye
Its been nearly a year since we had to say goodbye
Its been so hard since u went away
God took you and we live with the pain every day
I look at the pictures the smile on ur face
A smile and a laugh no one can replace.
Come the 4th September we will relive the day
That our hearts broke and we were never the same
On that day we will relive the pain
Of never having you here again
I cant believe Its been a year

I think of you every day
What you are doing and if your ok
Do you look down on us
From the blue skies
Do you hear our prayers and here our cries
I miss our chats you were so understanding
Always the first one to lend a hand
We miss you everyday
I know I keep saying it
But I cant believe god took you away

He must of needed an angel
And I know he chose the best
I hope your looking down on us
As we eat and play and rest
You are our guardian angel
I know your still around
You never leave our hearts
Even when we are down
We love you more than ever
And your memory lives on
For we will tell the story of great uncle phil
Even now that you are gone.

Sweet breeze tingles from every corner,
It soothes my soul.
The sky above a heavenly abode,
As I sit out on the pyol.

The lush green fields sway and swing,
Hovering over which,
Were the flight of birds whizzing their wings.

Squirrels squeak to-ing and fro-ing their hairy tail,
While birds tweat a lovesome song.
There's sweetness in the air ,
And I sing along............

Lumps of cloud my eyes behold,
Furring the limitless stretch of sky.
Behind the mead hid the grey-gowned hills,
That my twinkling eyes did spy.

Still sitting out on the pyol,
The beauty around I appreciate,
Eyes shut and lips mumbling,
Thanking God for all the splendour he did create !!!

please excuse my spelling.....Close your eyes for a moment to ponder,Silently wait for the dreams of the mind to wander,Shadows within released from restraint,Slumber came calling whispers hushed and feint,Drifting away from normalitys foes,To my world of safety where no one goes,Peaceful thoughts visit on daytimes decsend,A few moments alone serenity to mend,Dreams breezes calm storm clouds that gather in day,Whilst bathing in the waters of nights tranquil bay.

Do you also find it rude when say for in my example:

I posted some poems on this site and then this chick comes along and without my permission edits all my bad grammar, punctuation etc and then leaves a comment saying I should change these words to something else when they are perfectly fine the way they are.

Do you think that's rude?

I've put her and other jerks on ignore who actually wrote scathing remarks incase you're wondering.

The Crack In The Door
 


That crack in the door
I’ve seen it before
In fact
Its there everyday
So dark and deep
I should know it
completely
I just want it to go away
I sleep now at night
With one eye open
Pondering
what’s beyond in the door
I hear all the thumping
The grumbling
The bumping
The whispers
The tapping
The constant rap rapping
I just wonder who
Who is behind this
What do they see
When they’re looking at me?
I wake in the morning
No shower for days
Not even a shave I can do
I sit in my chair
Always aware
that the crack in the door
Is still there
I lost my job
My wife has left
It has something to do
With the crack I bet
I need the courage
The courage to merge
Up next to the crack in the door
I slowly start walking
The voices are mocking
“You’ll never know what we’re here for!”
I pick up the poker
And get even closer
To the door with a G*d awful crack

{A bit rough I'm afraid and not for the lighthearted}

I Came With Instructions


I came with instructions
Like all children do
Just two simple words
Love me, won’t you?

I have always loved you
No matter the pain
I had just figured
You had a bad day

And I know now
Not to spill again
Cause it stains the carpet
(Well worth my sprain)

I’ve brushed all my teeth
Night after night
And learned how to sleep
Without a nightlight

The spankings you gave me
The whippings too
I figured it was you way
To say I love you

So I sit and think
Wondering where you are
I cry and I miss you
I feel that you’re far

Last thing I remember
Was breaking the phone
I tried to call you at work
Because I wanted you home

I was so hungry
And there was no food
I never meant to put you
In such a fowl mood

I found myself naked
On my closet floor
Bleeding from my ears
But pain was no more

It might sound a bit cheesy, all criticism welcomed.

Good Morning,
Birds are singing, trees are swinging,
The sun rises with all its force. It's rays touch the waters making them glow, but failed to touch the heart that is in mourn.

Good Afternoon,
The crowds gather in the streets for their daily bread,
Talking away the ideas in their heads. While others mourn their soulful pain, praying away for resignation to gain.

Good Evening,
The shadows begin to fade, as the sun begins to set.
The mourners eyes dry out, but the pain is still there being expressed with a shout. It is the only relief for them.
That, plus words of faith that end with "Amen"

Goodnight,
The everyday life takes a brief pause but not an end.
The ones we love we think we lost, we will meet again.
Life goes on after a life ends.
Just like the moon rises and the sun sets.

i'm done

I've taken all that I can take,
You know just what's at stake.
Left me hanging another night,
But by god, I now see the light.

I'm done with all your stories,
Just another sad, sad song.
I'll turn around, I'll not look back,
To me, a ghost is all you are.

I'm though, I'm gone, It's over,
I'm done playing your damn game.
Nothing left for me here,
If I stay, I'll go insane.

I hope you have a horrid life,
As rotten as you made mine.
Hopping bed to bed to bed,
Practicing giving head.

You took my heart and crushed it,
Now please leave me alone.
I never want to see your face,
Find someone else to throw you bones.

thrteen years

Reflections always start to lie,
The mirror knows too much.
Yesterday has long since past,
And tomorrow may never come. .

Thirteen years, nothings changed,
Your promises have all died.
I never let you see my rage,
You could never see me cry.

All your gifts came straight from hell,
A strangers mournful scream.
The scripts already been written,
Someone has to take the fall.

There are no rainbows anywhere,
The words that I desire.
No choices for the chosen,
I could never figure why?

Now you know what I see,
The voice behind the veil.
Confessions decieve, never relieve,
Not with Satan at the helm.

Our souls together, now ripped apart,
My thoughts they transcend time.
Now you know just where I stand,
But I can never tell you why.
