Drown

Falling broken, falling down, falling deep
Losing you, losing life, losing what I keep

Water up to my neck, drowning so deep
Flowing through the cracks in the nightmare sleep
Chains hanging smothered in frost
Fingering my neck until the game is lost
For as a puppet controlled in the master's eyes'
Following movements in bleak disguise
Shrieking its terror echoes the mountains high
As I drown in this river dying alive
Eyes wet in misery's hold
Lost from love and burning cold
Lying here as I drown in time so long
Counting the words in the lyrics of a song

Singing a lullaby as my lungs fill with water
Like jars they swallow in murdering slaughter
Faded pictures in my memory rips
Flowing down the river silenced on my lips
Watching the clouds fall to the skies
Screeching for you and love that dies
I watch my eyes fall beneath the surface, down
Watching me drown, drown, drown.

Shiver running through seeping skin
Up my spine and lying within
I loved you and watched as you left
I cried at your feet in dying regret
Going away in eternity's grasp
Holding you dear, you let go the clasp
Falling broken, falling down, falling deep
Losing you, losing life, losing what I keep
Burning ice travels my veins tracing stories long
Counting the words in the lyrics of a song

Singing a lullaby as my lungs fill with water
Like jars they swallow in murdering slaughter
Faded pictures in my memory rips
Flowing down the river silenced on my lips
Watching the clouds fall to the skies
Screeching for you and love that dies
I watch my eyes fall beneath the surface, down
Watching me as I drown, drown, drown.

Falling broken, falling down, falling deep
Losing you, losing life, losing what I keep

Wishing I could have you here
Without you, I have disappeared…

My poem, "The only one..."

Late At Night,
I close my eyes,
and picture you,
right in the blue Sky's

your Smile,
is so Bright,
it makes me want u,
and hold u tight

Hold u forever,
and watch the sun-set,
Glaring at you,
and remember when are eyes first met

Move a little Closer,
and go for the kiss,
feeling so Good,
Never feeling like this

For u to make me,
so happy and true,
i guess your a meaning,
I'm supposed to be with you

No One can change,
the way i feel,
It will only grow each day,
this love is that is Real
Title: Never Stop

It Grows and Grows,
never going to stop,
always flowing,
Never Going to Drop,

I'm here Right Now,
to Say To you,
With out a doubt
i will always love u

Can we write about...anything?

Can we write about...anything?

keep em comming guys!

Shelbi:

Living in a mansion
by a beautiful sea
from all the pain and suffering
you are now set free

with all the horses
you've ever dreamed of
we know youre smiling at us
from you mansion above

you will always be remembered
with a smile on your face
and a twinkle in your eye
we all know youre now in a better place

you inspired all of us
to be a fighter
and when you walked into a room
you always made it brighter

thank you for reminding us
to always remain strong
and live life to the fullest
because we may not have long

in our hearts
youll always be
and we'll meet again
In you mansion by the sea...

_I wrote this for my best friend when she died of cancer. I already have it on the sight and many people seem to like it.

Title: Christina part 2

Now your back my Arm,
Feeling Safe with no Harm,
Never wanting for day to end,
never lets go, never gonna suspend,
this love that i have for you,
what does it take to show i am true,
ill do anything for you,
u want a turtle or a bird,
ill give you a whole herd,
you don't even have to say one word,
your love for me,
is great enough to see,
and is great reward,
felt like i don't need an award,
even though I'm so lucky to have someone just like you,
someone to hold to,
we joke around,
make a lot of sound,
and play around,
we laugh and have good times,
i say these things in rhymes,
but no one will ever know,
my love can only show,
the way i feel,
this feeling thats so real,
but yet unreal
its like its unrealistic,
the way you make go ballistic,
with happiness and joy,
I'm so glad to have a girl who will never play me like a toy,
who's someone i can always enjoy
to spend time with,
and go everywhere with,
the one i love,
like a bird dove,
that came from Sky's above,
never will shove,
the love,
i have,

No matter How Long,
or how Strong,
this poem might be,
no one could really see,
how much i feel,
like in my mind mentally,
not enough money in the world,
can trade off you are still my girl,
i will never bet you,
trade u,
treat u,
with out respect,
having disrespect,
i will treat you like a queen,
your a unique,
sometimes you even make me weak,
to the point i cant speak,
i remember the time my heart started to leak,
but u came into me and made me all better,
whether,
it was saying i love you,
or i want you,
doesn't matter,
it made me feel great,
and i appreciate,
what u have done for me.....

You Were There

You were there…
When the sky began to fall,
When the puzzle pieces came apart,
And when it crumbled to the ground.
When the world I knew fell cold and dark.

And the stars faded and went dim,
Never to glisten bright again.
When the ocean tide got lost,
Never again crashing upon the sandy shores.
So close to water standing still.

When the flowers forgot to bloom,
Blending with the dead grassy fields.
Once so beautiful and green,
But its life too, crumbled beneath our feet,
Now only a remaining memory.

You were there, when God forgot how to make rain,
When the sun decided to finally leave,
When Earth abandoned me.
As you sat there drunk drowning in your self pity towards us all,
When my world had disappeared… you were there.

This is "The Dawn of Truth"

The birds of prey are circling high
as the dawn of truth makes stars of eyes,
and mirrors in my trembling ones,
little, but the face of thee;

Yes, love, it seems, may be revealed
by a slight reflection in one's eyes.
A lonely, humble, ray of light
May tell a truth that suns won't show.

But in your eyes, I see not me
and cannot therefore thrive with thee
and whatever dwells within my eyes
is not of value anymore.

Thus those humble rays of light,
that met our eyes this fateful night,
brightened paths within our minds,
and made us walk in separate ways.

I’ll Make It

I'll make it,
I'll fake it if i can't
imagining all the happiness
forgetting you will grant

I'll beat these feelings
one by one
for me being happy
has only just begun

erasing memories
of us together
in all the sunny
and stormy weather

our love was filled
with lust and temptation
followed by anger, jealousy
and frustration

yet something still
draws me near to you
maybe you really
did love me too?

i will just pretend
that you aren't there
i will pretend
i never really cared

in the end
i have to let go
its the only way
i will continue to grow

Tear i cry

We talked everyday,
and everyday,
i sat to pray,
and thats one day
our relationship will move higher,
and go strong and tighter,
i didn't get to see u months at a time,
I'm bout to lose control and lose my rhyme,
to know that u came back,
and loving me what something u had to lack,
take my CD player and listen to the new track,
hearing things about u and other guys,
hearing things not knowing they are lies,
Hurting me Inside knowing there are cries,
I'm not sure who to believe,
I'm not sure if i can ever achieve,
to the point where i find the truth the real fiction,
now I'm stuck in this restriction,
and I'm telling u now are you lien or Not,
because these things I'm hearing are just too hot,
and are making me lose my mind,
so I'ma be kind,
and ask you my love,
what happened Above,
What happened between u and that guy,
because every time i don't find out,
its another tear i cry..

Christina Part VII

You Came to My House Not Knowing Whats Going to Happen,
Never Knew What we Were gonna do, would we be sad or would be be laughing.

I gave you a Tour,
and open my Door,
To my Room,
Right in my Bedroom,
We Sat and Lay-ed for Awhile,
Not knowing after we'd get buck wild,
We then Got up and went into my living Room,
and then we started to Assume,
now the Time was Right,
Where i can Hold u All Night,
and Squeeze you Tight,
Never letting go with all my Might,
Getting Up and dimming the Light,
Coming Back Right,
In My Spot
Have the Fire Spark Bring it Hot,
Watching a Movie and looking at you,
Having this Relationship so good and so True,
and never matting what we go through,
as long as in the end its just me and you,
and i look at your eyes,
and picture perfect blue Sky's,
and see your Smile
having my heart skip a Mile
and then Kiss,
Getting the Special Feeling But never like This,
and the Kiss Leads to Another,
I love u and no one Other,
The Kiss leads the Us Making Out,
Like a buffet Cook-Out
we were All Over Each Other,
But i wouldn't have it any-other Way,
so i stand here to say
to u and at This Day,
and Always I love u........

A Loss & A Gift

Hearts are torn
faces stained with tears
sad and forlorn...
a loved soul disappears
another life has ended

Uncertainty fills the air...

Welcome into the world
a baby is born
an innocent little girl
she eases the pain
once again, joy fills the world

"When you lose someone important in your life, you're always given something else in return. It doesn't quite make up for the loss but it helps you get through it."

Dream Box

A box of dreams,
Just for me,
Just lock them inside,
And pray they make you happy in life.

Inside of mine, I have a copper Lincoln,
The smallest of American currency,
But I don’t dream to be rich with money,
I won’t be greedy and just wish for enough to live.

Next there is a clothes tag,
I wish to have enough to cover me and keep me warm.
I don’t need expensive designer name brands,
Just something comfy and cozy that suits me.

Next is a ring, for which I paid twenty- five pennies,
It may be cheap but that doesn’t bother me,
I’d rather have a strong marriage than a wealthy man,
Someone to be with me, no matter the salary.

Now a locker picture frame,
Hopefully to someday hold a picture of my family.
All smiles so pure and true,
I know not everything will be smooth, so God please teach us to forgive and stick together as a group.

Also among with the group is my first poem, my work of art.
May I always remember the beginning and my great support.
May I write for right reasons and not a yellow box.
For writing for me is the greatest gold award I can receive and always keep.

Another item that my box holds, a fortune cookie of happiness and joy.
May my life please be full of it with many memories,
Please be the fuel until the end,
Let me die foolishly happy and not drowning in my misery.

That’s all my box for now shall hold.
It’s simple and small, but all I want,
I don’t want to be greedy or ask for the world.
I’ll let someone else do what I cannot.

~i bought this box that had a little poem on which inspired this poem with my dreams in life.
"Write Down you Dreams and lock them tight,
think of them every morning and night,
if these things you faithrully do,
your box of dreams will come true."

Now They're Gone...

Watching fire burn silhouettes alight
Destruction causing chaos in withering delight
Burning to charcoal as a city stands bare
Forgotten in a world with no one to care

Bodies along the streets, dumped and dead
Twisted and broken with memories unsaid
Those that stand here in bitterness alive
Cry their tears upon the souls that died

In this game of war your brothers took part
As bombs rained down, tearing cities apart
Into the war these soldiers were born
Now their names recorded, the boys are gone...

Stranger Next To Him

You never gave me reason to believe,
that the rumors i heard weren't true.
i never did quite figure out,
how to trust you.

with him you've become a stranger,
someone i don't know.
I never knew a stranger,
could make me feel so low.

you're not being the best friend,
that i tell everyone you are,
don't you think you're being a little insensitive?
haven't you taken this a bit far?

I never said i was okay with it,
although i know it's no longer my place,
there's nothing i can do this time,
but i can't seem to give up the chase.

so with you're flirtatious smile and pretty face,
it seems this time you've won,
but it's a defeat i knew would come to pass,
before the battle had even begun.

so without me you stand victorious,
holding tightly onto your prize,
not even stopping to look for
the tears that are filling up my eyes.

This is the last time i will write of this,
as this pain's taken too much of my time.
I'm forgiving, but don't think I'm forgetting,
about when you stole what was once mine.
