I amI am the seething masses, calling out for fight
the bare knuckles on warm skin,
a bit of flesh gouged out ands stuck under a ring washed off hours later in the
office, sent out of school and lucky to still be just a kid.
and I am
the barbed wire between your fingers, teeth clenched and muscles tensed hold the
wires apart
for just one more second,
one more second
is all we need to get through, the Promised Land awaits for you and I and
I am
I am the bayonet
Catching babies, mothers crying fathers dying skin bubbles, cracks, burns. What is
that smell in the air? That's
ME
and I am
the tongue on your skin, finally tasting the only thing that really makes us human,
back road kisses and cloudy nights when all we can do is
Sit
and
Dream
and you are, you are, you are,
and I am falling closer to the sun Icarus played out backwards stuck on repeat and
the groove on this record was wearing thin.
and you are and I am and we
sing, cling to the things we've come to hate and
let go
of what matters most, and
and I am the noose around the neck of the wicked,
the Gallows is a cradle rocking me to sleep.
I am the splinter in your skin get a needle pull it out, rinse the wound don't let
It get infected, this is life on the edge,
CUT ME OPEN
Cause you know all the answers before I ask them and when I have nothing to say you
always say it for me.
me?
im strings plucked by callused fingers, the days up and the suns down, around the
campfire with knees bent,
I need
Love
and you need
Life
and we are.

TruthFlapping your wings in to the never
ending sky
A sky that shows the truth
Unlike the wind blowing threw
those gorgeous wings
wings that can't help
but to show vile stallions rage
to run
the most diligent grassland that
runs into the never
ending sky
showing its truth threw its raise.
Newtoilet paper racing in the ocean
angels treversing over millions of
cowboy hats
Blowing in the ocean
stripes gasing
thornes turning purple
clocks spreading square
pigs learning to fly
swords falling to show mars
new beginning.
BeautifulYou are as sweet as flour
Dense as Death Valley
as deep as a piece of paper
people can not bear the
Brick wall you make a
Better window then a wall
In my eyes you are the
lucifer of my day and night.

eve-am
oceans beating on my tree
branches trying to show adams
apple the truth in my oceans
so we soon can join as a fire
on a rainy day.

Kieth
I care about Kieth like he was my brother
Even though he's asleep I love him like no other.
I looked in his casket and thought about crying
I just had it why were people dying.
I tried to be brave for his mother
I hate this day like no other
Keith was a runner who was brave
He ran like no other even in his grave.
In
Loving
Memory Kieth

Waiting for the sun to shine
the sand beneath my feet.
Like waiting for the phone to ring
waking everyone who's asleep.
Waiting for the moon to come
the stars to light the sky.
I'm waiting for the owls to hoot
At every car that passes bye.
Waiting for my mom to call
to wake me from my dreams.
I've waited here forever
Or that's how long it seems.

Halloween
Halloween
Leaves falling
The smell of pumpkin
Toasted and sweet, unusual
She laughs, look at him
Walking close
"I think I like cocaine the best" he says
The inside joke they have
A term of odd endearment to her
She feels so safe
loved
friends are annoyed
Too perfect
Too sweet
Walking in the dark
80s rockstars and drugged-out hippies
White trash fairies, the color orange
How creative we are
But soon this holiday will be just a good memory
She remembers it now
The best day of her life
Halloween.

With everyday rises evil and goodTogether they fight down to above
Raging these battles that go unseen
Unaware are the people that they are in pain
Not knowing they are of the real them
These battles blind eyes,
The eyes from within
Man on man these battles fought
Through bodies are war zones the mind knows not
Not of what the mind really knows
Tucked away deep,
Hidden in holes
For I am not me
And you are not you
But we think that we are
So therefore its true
We think we are great
We think we are strong
Well I'm sorry dear friend, but we are all wrong
Inside out bodies fight evil and good
So we don't think the thoughts
The thoughts that we should
We are blinded by blood
The blood from within
We are eaten away with evil's sins
Fight as good may,
It is a lost cause
For good cannot beat evils quick draws
Good is shot down
A body is slain
Along with a mind, a heart, and a brain
But what good were these, if never used
So along with the body dies the unknown true you
So think of these thoughts
Through everyday
That you are not you
And I am not me
We are victims
Victims of hate
Killed by the evil, and our selfish tastes
So good conquers none
But evil conquers all
And one by one we rise and we fall.

Last Time........
last time I had to lie,last time I had to cry,
last time I was so high,
sitting there killing time.
last time I rode a bike,
last time I took a hike,
last time I thought I liked,
last time I got in a fight.
Looking at this time past,
knowing it went by so fast,
I just wish that it could last,
live every moment that was cast.
I know now I cant go back,
and change the things I used to lack,
But if I could I wouldn't lie,
I wouldnt cry or get so high.
I would try to have some fun
and not grow up on the run.

BeefBeef is meat. Meat is flesh.
Flesh is......
Blood cells formed together with other body ingredients.
Blood cells are made of energy.
Energy is made from eating.
Cows eat grass.
Grass uses nutrients from the soil.
Soil has dead cows in it.
Cows eat cows.
Humans eat cows, who eat grass, which uses soil....
Where humans are buried.
Humans eat humans
Vegetariens eat beef.

Spring comes once a year
the smell of flowers fill the air
frogs rabbit all night long.
frogs sit on the Lily Pads.
frogs jump from Lily to Lily.
frogs sit in the sun.

Sweet whispers
Sweet whispers through the trees
In the woods youll find me.
If I could
I wish I would
Be here all alone.

If you really knew me than I would
Know you, without Knowing me I can't
Know you. If I really Knew me than I could understand you, but if I can know me how could I understand you
If I knew you and knew that you
Knew me, I could be you and you
May be me.

The One Person I Want Is The One Peron I Can't Have...If I could write a letter
To you, what would I say
Would I talk of how I miss you?
How my heart brakes day by day
Would I tell you when I see you
My heart picks up its pace
That I just want to hold you and give you your grace.
Would I speak of how you hurt me?
How you stabbed me in the heart
You cut and cut so much away there is no loving part
You have done so much to me
Told lies, cheated and hurt
But I can-not stop loving you
Though now there are no perks.
Or would I beg, right on my knees
With tears soaked the page
And plead and plead for one more chance before I go to grave
For I have learned from my mistakes
And I've finally got my head on straight
We could me in love again
If your heart would let me in
Fall for me just one last time
I'd try so hard to make your heart mine...
These are my options
And probably there are more
But just what would I write you
I am still not sure
And even if I did, fight through the pain and tears
The letter would never reach you
Because I know that you are hers.
So here is just my poem
And it is sad but true
But if I could tell you one last thing
It would be "I love you."

I think this was for making poems,
Haiku's, Free write Poems.If you really knew me...
If you really knew me you would
Know I love you,
If you really knew me you would know
I'm kind, nice, loveable, and I know I am romantic
If you really knew me you would know
You love me the same I love you,
If you really knew me you would know
I'm not ignorant, or that I wouldn't
Mess around with our relationship or love,
If you really knew me you would know I
Wouldn't cheat on you,
If you really knew me you would
Know I would be with you for the
Rest of my living moments.

Friendship or is it love
Waiting for her call,
Waiting for her love,
Waiting for her name to spread around me,
When shall I introduce myself
When shall I go out with her,
Wondering our feelings for each other,
Getting confused all the
Time wondering, do I love her or not,
Is it only friendship, or is it love,
Soon enough I shall find out, friendship
Or is it love.
