SORRY!!!

As I Watch the World Dissapear

I'm lost in this world
I'm spinning around
I'm losing control
My feet are leaving the ground

I fly off in space
As I watch the world disappear
It's impossible to come back
If I scream no one will hear

I fly further still
Resigned I look away
I'm doomed to live like this forever
Living without a hope each day

dark to me now

No more do the stars brightly glimmer
Happiness in my life I will no more allow
No more do streams under moonlight glitter
No more to me does the wide sea shimmer
To me the sun itself is dimmer
For all is dark to me now

Since the day the life flew out of thee
Only weeks after we had made our vow
All thoughts of life deserted me
Life itself lost all meaning to me
The joys in this world I no longer can see
For all is dark to me now

Each day as I sorrowfully waken
Wishing I was with you somehow
For by God you have been taken
I am left desolate, alone and forsaken
My faith has been so surely shaken
For all is dark to me now

Now my body lies broken
Forever is it dark for me now
For my heart it has been broken
For my soul it has been broken
So desperate steps I have taken
With you forever I will be now

Thinking of you gets me so sad,
both mind and heart grow weak...
Wishing a life with you i had,
Your hand in mine i seek...

I have a vision of you and I,
lying on the sand...
The waves from the beach cry,
as i kiss you on the hand...

My eyes seek the love in you,
as i look at your face...
I see it there in your eyes,
and my heart begins to race...

A kiss i wish you had for me,
a memory that i'd keep...
For my heart you hold the key,
for you i've fallen, deep...

"The letters of your name"

The rain is falling quick
But some how I am dry
As I watch the clouds mourn
For the tears of the sky

Under an angel`s wing
A feeling of security
In your warm embrace
Among the heavens purity

You put butterflies in my tummy
Making my heart skip a beat
A feeling like no other
A love that`s sugary sweet

Your lips are of velvet
To kiss is like dreaming
Your eyes deep as the ocean
With stares that are streaming

You leave me breathless
When you brush my skin
With your gentle fingertips
Setting my nerves within

Whispering sweet nothings
Softly into my ear
You say that you love me
And you tell it sincere

You gave me your promise
That this will stay true
Just know everything I wanted
I found it all in you

The love that you show
Your heart that you gave
Made the letters of your name
On my heart forever engraved

Without Your Body

I slept through it and then i never met you, but it's okay because we've bought clocks elsewhere. and How the birds chirp and the ticks tock; the fist hands that broken song, into our blood already boiling. A calm washes over me and i'm each bead of your voice, magnetized to some center. Gravity lies between; it's relative. Like the size of your interest or the feeling diminished; relish it. Song after song until our strings turn to nooses and our finger's slowly slip the knot. Step outside your box and cover the graves in shadows so that flowers won't grow - Turn ur smile up, emanate warmth to the touch, crushing bones to dust. Sever the bonds and strip the oak so that we're soaked in more than polite. Politeness that'sa blind figure draped in your movements; where intent thus far remains obscure. I swear it's magical-icious, this tragedy struck through broken bridges and whispering listlessness. A thrifty spend but, dont mention it: I've already written your will, forged your existence in fake chrome reflecting plastic toy-play guns. Lipping twice the power of electricity on in a vacant mind, the dust swallows the air and no longer can i breathe but we both remember promised another full fit never stop it; just keep it closer wear it in your sockets so your eyes can get some rest within your pockets so your hands can stop the throbbing and your ache can fill the airway - you know,
without your body.

If Only...
by J. Lau

If only love is easy to find;
Then we will not long for it.

If only love can be guaranteed;
Then we will not know how to treasure it.

If only love requires no effort;
Then we will not realize it.

If only love lasts for a few hours;
Then we will not commit to it.

If only love comes without obstacles;
Then we will not appreciate it.

If only love survives without arguments;
Then we will not learn from it.

If only love fades with time;
Then we will not pursue it.

If only love have no happy ending;
Then we will not have any reason to love.

If only... we can recognize love.

Aurora Angel

Searching Angel, spiralling down the northern lights
Dressed in cerulean blue, swathe with petite carillon stylite
To a land of minarets and Tsar
Blanket of crimson red and white
A mixture truly bizarre

Beautiful Angel, standing in a sea of wrens
Fiery red hair and chocolate black skin
And cheekbones that many dream in a woman

Her duty was to answer a prayer
Of a little freckled girl who is succumbed by despair
Her homeland ravaged and raped, all is left is blood red
As though scissors cut destiny’s thread
And chaos trapped by the thread’s path
Gave the innocent land its wrath

Looking at the destruction that came
The little freckled girl clasped her hands and prayed
Praying for her loved ones to join Heaven’s parade
In mere seconds, her prayer was answered
An angel was sent to let the freckled girl in heaven’s grasp.

The Wristwatch

The wristwatch has a one-way ticket
To a land of sparkles and sunshine
Where hands seize the seconds
Minutes battle with time
And are finally dropped
Into a pit of shallow memories
Where people felt yellow
And the sun was blue

Where what happened was distorted
Twisted like clay
Into more interesting shapes
Peaches from the cherry tree
Potatoes from the orchard

The wristwatch keeps time
Only we lose it
The land of time and the land of us
Play peekaboo constantly

Truth is an unsung hero
Always there, rarely acknowledged

A Poem for a Girl
by Sarah Drew

Sent to the hospital
Because of those idiots
Who drove through the light
And hit her car

Now she lays in a hospital bed
In a coma slowly drifting away
Into the eternal sleep that awaits her

With internal bleeding
She is now dying
Only because some jerks
Were in a hurry to get somewhere

Now they face charges
While she faces death
How could this be far

They pay some money
Go to jail for a few days maybe
And she lies six feet under
How dare they take such a beautiful life

Unbroken

Ever wonder why my soul won't cry?
It's away from the world and all your lies
You try to break me and want me to die
But, like the tides of the moon, I'm still alive

My skin color tears at your mind
It begins to unravel over time
You try your best to break my pride
But the light of the Lord keeps me alive

In your head you seek to find
The answer to my demise
But no matter how you try
I'll be here, full and alive

What is it that makes you lie?
Makes you go off and lose your mind
If you could, you'd kill me at the drop of a dime
Forever I live, I'll always be alive

My heritage burns into your mind
Engraved forever in the sands of time
The sight of my color makes your anger cry
I laugh at you for I'll always be alive

All my years my color will eternally thrive
It's a symbol of what my ancestors survived
People such as you, no matter how you try
Cannot break me, I'll always be alive

The Eighteenth Year

Today is your birthday
The would be eight-teen
An empty road laid ahead
So many sights unseen

There should be birthday cards,
Not cards of sympathy
People should be saying Happy Birthday
Not they are sad for me

Today you would be an adult
And could get that tattoo
I should be joyful and happy
However, I'm feeling rather blue

You were so excited for today
For the parties, friends and cheer
Emptiness fills the void in my heart
From you no longer being here

Today is your birthday
The would be eight-teen
Instead of celebrating
I'm sobbing on grass so green
*dedicated to my sister*

when time touch its destiny

Captivating the sight of your dream...
fabrics of thought lies shattered
treasures mountain, tranquil stream
season of bless slowly weathered...

the glittering sunlight peeps from the sky....
await for your solace touch
cascading the green, green grass
shimmering splendid brought the sense of peace....

trees bow in silence...
within your abundant charm of loveliness
break away the cold spell of winter
put us in a warm consolation...

the gushes of the stream, the gold arbion of water
splashing arround us as raindrops of love....
a simple life that i always fancy
which i hope comes to eternity

but alas...
what a woeful despair
i am simply lack of flair
when this heart strangled of hapinnes
i just unfamiliar with words
althogh in fact, i love you more than world
the word of love seems hidden solemntly with the evening wind
the ordinary thing that i've never seen

stuck in a pile of sand
on just another way of saying goodnight.....
although deep in my heart
just like heaven, i want to hold u tight..

sharing such unbridle life, apart from all turbulence..
such sentimental scenery and the wild night
girl thats all i've been longing
yet i left in silence without saying anything...

sometimes i feel like a silly star
lamenting its ability to twinkle
listening to your wish , and dream, with your special style
but i just end up with smile.....

i just believe that one day
when time touch the destiny..
i could bring you inside my story
our fairy world, enchanted with affinity...

My poem is called " The Color of Decision"

Will u wait?
Who will wait?
Only time will tell the fate of my heart.
Stuck in a world of black and white
No in between for shades of gray
The day, as dark as night
Confusion of the differences

Lacking to foresee or tell
Too long into what you dwell
Contrasting natures discolor the soul
Looking to far, but seeing nothing
Dressed in confusion for control
Close your eyes to see hidden truth
What would truly make you feel whole?

Love is not a notion or impulse
that suddenly just appears
Its hidden within the depths of time
Colored throughout the years

Paint me a picture of your life
What colors of love do you see?
Is it a one tone colorless sky?
Or a rainbow fantasy?

Entirely awed by the untainted
The unforeseen shakes all your senses
Truly pure for the eyes would only see
can bright eyes mistaken beauty to me?

Two beautiful shades of color
Different and peerless in their own
Distinction between your lonely skies
Intertwine to whats not known

Does the way it just blends together
Leave you breathless and in awe
Or does it clash and not compliment
Not truly seeing what you saw
Making the colors seem as a flaw

Crossed between 2 loves, 2 dreams
A painted world of imaginary truth
Stuck again between black and white
The shade of gray I wish I could choose
In-between, the day as dark as night
Confusion of the differences
Lacking to foresee or tell
In that world you painted yourself
Too long into what you dwell

Under your wing
by My-name-was-too-long-so-now-i-have-this-one

Take me there
under your wing
show me how
please show me now
i wish to fly
with you and the doves

take me there
under your wing
with you i can fly
soar in the sky
i wish to be with you
and never leave your side

take me there
under your wing
now i can fly
by your side
my dream has come true
because i'm with you

take me there
under your wing

Shot with an arrow
by David Marshall

Shot with an arrow,
across the evening seas.
Love you gave and borrow,
across the withering trees.

Waiting for your beauty,
across the roaring mountains.
Waiting for you to come to me,
love like sparkling fountains.

Here you come and go,
like birds in the winter.
Love you never show,
like the day goes dimmer.

For every sun that shined,
and that has arose.
My heart you rip and bind,
that made my soul froze.

I try to believe,
that you will soon come back.
I gave love but didn't receive,
and being loved is what i lack.

I guess I'll sit and wait to die,
like the nighttime stars.
Here I sit and begin to cry,
as I look at my scars.

Why has this happened?
by Alyson

My troubles are long gone
Now I'm standing here
In this desolate world
Alone and abandoned

All around me are the ruins
Of once grand buildings
Broken and shattered
Until they no longer exist

The harsh winds blow dust
Across the face of this vast land
Leaving the fields barren
Where food no longer grows

Most rivers have run dry
Leaving behind cracked earth
That screams in the night
For help

Tears slide silently down my cheeks
As I look at what this worlds become
Its no longer grand or beautiful
But dry and unforgiving

Why has this happened?
I say its because of our sins
All the wrongs that we've done
And all the beliefs we've held against others

*This holds a message can you find it?

Tears Flow

Repeating
Revolving
Crystal white season
Restless thoughts
Released

Tears flow
Mix with the snow
Hold me and never let go
In this wintry day
This wintry night
Trying to live
Is enough of a fight.

Warmth of two hands
Melt the surroundings
White ski slopes quiet
Shining brilliance
Bright sky in the dark dawn

Suddenly
Stars shine in day
Memories become faint
Lost

Tears flow
Mix with the snow
Hold me and never let go
In this wintry day
This wintry night
Trying to live
Is enough of a fight.

Confusing
Hopeless dreams
Bleed from my soul
Revolutions
Evolutions
Phantoms reappear
Freezing hazy morning
Inhaled seeks gentleness
Exhaled hates the heart within

Handful's of nostalgic nightmares
Discovered everywhere
Now everywhere
Seems to have manifested itself

Stretch
Just to be close
Scattered memories
Disappear with the sky

Tears flow
Mix with the snow
Hold me and never let go
In this wintry day
This wintry night
Trying to live
Is enough of a fight.

ALONE AT WAR
Life can be so unfair!!!
But wat can i do about it?
i remember when there would always b some1 to help me
even if it wasnt my mommy or daddy
some1 would always b there

But all of a sudden
i am left alone
alone at war

standing on the battle field
with no army nor weapons
just a white flag

every time i want 2 raise that flag
some1 comes along
and give me reasons not 2
but they cant help me win my battles
so y should i listen 2 them?

all the same i do

im whipped
n tortured,
beaten
stabbed
n stampeded over

but i remain where i am
in the midst of a battle field
ALONE

they r charging at me
with much force n speed

LOOK AT ME!!!
Look at the scars on my heart
scars of pain
from being hurt
misunderstood

if THIS is the reason why i live
THEN Y LIVE AT ALLL!!
WHY BOTHER TRYIN TO WIN THIS WAR?!?

NOPE

If.. By Meaghen

If cutting myself will release my pain

Then ill never stop slicing my veins

If shooting myself will make me forget

Then id shoot myself a million times without regret

If hanging myself will take away my tears

Then ill do it holding back no fears

If drowning myself will make everything go away

Then id do it every single night and day

If taking a pill will make everything stop

then ill take them until i drop

But none of This will ever truly take away your pain

No matter what it will always remain..

Those Who Were Seen Dancing
by PreciousIllusions

You asked what I see in him.
Silence, my only reply.
How do I begin to convince you
of what I see in his eyes?

Storm cloud blue eyes behind thin
glasses. The Tempest, the opus of
his passion.
“Will I ever be part of it?”
Lightning flashes.

When we first met, his distant
glare froze, but the waters
warmed and we began to
get close.

At least I thought, I felt it
was so. Another delusion I let
myself fall into. Another precious
illusion confused with true love.
Yes,
True love will do.

With each introduction into his
world, I never thought I’d be
destined to be “That girl.”
I was impatient, playing with fire
to break the ice.
Wishful thinking, I know.

Scream at me, “You’re late again.”
I’d rather be dead than dead to him.

He’s precious.
//Interim// is
a puppy barking at his own reflection.

A lie based on a truth
Or a truth based on a lie
The boy who made a difference
He made me feel alright

It’s the words that make no sense
that I like the best.
Today I smiled
because for one second
I didn’t think of him,
then I thought about him again.

You asked what I see in him,
and I said nothing.
Then you left and I shouted below
a whisper, “Everything.”

I Can't tell you

There’s something in my darkest dreams
And most hated fears
That Saddens every happy day
And reflects in my tears

There’s something that I cannot share
With anyone but me
That’s dying to be told to you
But this you cannot see

There’s something deep inside my soul
That I have realised
At first I thought it beautiful
But now it is despised

There’s something that you’ll never know
About the way I feel
And that is that I love you
but hey, it’s no big deal…

If I could live life with no regrets
by Latasha

If I could live life with no regrets,
I would tear about these memories,
Cut my wrists a 1000 times,
Just to hear myself cry.

If I could live life with no regrets,
I would erase all these photographs,
And watch my blood form a sea,
Just to feel the pain I caused.

If I could live life with no regrets,
I would kill my enemies,
To hear them scream as they die,
Just to let them feel one last time.

If I could live life with no regrets,
I would run away to a better place,
And watch as my problems slowly drift away,
Just so I could live one last time.

If I could live life with no regrets,
I would tell you I love you,
And let you know I care,
Just to see if you care too,

But everyday there is a new regret,
A new way for me to feel,
A new way to cause you pain,
A new way to make you cry,
All my regrets are just a painful tear.

Not Mine

I was your voice when
you couldn't speak.

Not my words.

I was your strength
when you stood to bleed.

Not my hurt.

You needed support
and you know I was there.

Not my fight.

Your hand was guilty
of an unforgivable crime.

Not my touch.

You were
struggling to breathe.

I held you.

Not my breath.

You were dying from
your own shame.

I watched.

Not my death.

You were missing
your moments alive.

I heard.

Not my life.

Begging for sunshine
in this prison cell.

Your world not mine.

I'm everything you needed
but nothing that I wanted.

Desertion

when I was young you were always threre to keep me safe and warm
The last picture I have of you is old and worn and torn.
As soon as I was old enough to finally realize, you've long since deserted me, to my strongly regreted suprise.
I should have seen it coming, I should have felt it there.
One thing's apparent, you no longer care. You've broken my heart as if it's a toy, it's torn apart because of your ploy.I'm forever in pain as you very well can see, So don't ask me to forgive you, because you deserted me.

I stumble blindly on my path
Wondering where to go
I pray something will let me out
Of this prison in the snow

Where will I find purity
Where is my river bend?
I really want to know
Is my life about to end?

I lost my love
I lost my friends
I lost everything dear to me
As my candle flickers out
Is there any meaning?

Pull me into a river
Drown me with a rock
Stomp on me till I give up
I don't want to come out as a shock
Thankfully I wake up
From a horribly unbearable dream
For in my heart, it beats so fast
I'm so scared I want to scream
Where am I, how did I get here?
Where am I today?
How did I get this far?
Mommy, don't you want to play?
Daddy, let's go to the park
Bro, let's camp outside
Sis, show me how to whistle?
What went wrong in my life?
As this nightmare lifts, I sigh with relief
It was all just a scary dream
I close my eyes and tell myself
"It's okay, stay in one piece"

"Never let the world
Make you waste away
You still have the choice to save yourself
Just get through this one day"

Is that just my head... or is it the true dream
I don't know...nothing's ever what it seems.

OUR LIFE IS LIKE A LIBRARY

it has many experiences called books.
some are emotional
some are romantic
some are full of laughter
some are pathetic.

there is always a want for peace
everyone has his personal book to read
some share it
but some loose it
and if it is so, they cannot reissue it.

some books remain memorable
and cherish the present days
some we want to forget
in some or the other ways......
