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.

Even if...
by David Marshall

Even if you hate me,
Even if you don't care,
Even if you can't see,
Even if your not fair,
Even if you yell,
Even if you cheat,
Even though I fell,
Dieing in this heat.
Even if you lie,
Even if you ignore,
Even if this pain I die,
Even if the pain grows more,
Even though you treat me bad,
Even if you leave,
and bring more pain.
I'll always forgive,
and love you the same.

I look into your eyes
by David marshall

I look into your eyes to see the future ahead.
As long as we are together, no tears are shed.
Day and night I think of you.
Wondering if your thinking of me too.

You brighten my day more than the sun.
My life was so boring, but now it's so fun.
Nothing can go wrong, your my glimmering star.
You've healed my heart, you've healed my scar.

Living with out you is like life with no air.
I wish I could show you how much I care.
I was in a shadow of great despair.
Then I turned around and you were there.

You saved me from a life of torment.
You healed and helped with the love you sent.
I thank God every day I met your kind soul.
It's easy to say my heart you stole.

I look into your eyes and begin to smile.
Risking everything for you is quite worthwhile.
I look into your eyes, it's you I think of.
I look into your eyes, and say it's you I love.

I look into your eyes, I'll never leave you.
I was so sad, but now my life's a new.
I'm so Happy my sorrow now dies.
At the moment I look into your eyes.

Do you love me?
by David Marshall

I love you,
Why can't it be just us two,
Without you my life is through,
Every day my love for you grew,
I care so much, you have no clue,
No matter what our lives will pursue,
We sometimes say things that are untrue.

My love for you will never be surpassed,
For my love for you is way too vast,
and my love for you will always last,
Theres been sorrow but I'll forget the past,
Please understand, because this life is too fast.

Do you think we could ever be?
Only you can set me free,
I need to know before this world I flee,
I love you,
But do you love me?

Maybe one day
by David Marshall

I still love you.
But I know I can never be with you.
Your feelings for me change every day.
But my feelings for you will always stay.
You say your starting to fall for me again.
But you had your chance.
You need to make up your mind.
Your true feelings is what you need to find.
If you really love me, would you do anything to be with me?
I remember when I would die for you.
I wanted to be together forever, just us two.
But now thats all changed.
It's your fault you pushed me away.
Maybe one day when you have made your choice, and forget what happened back then.
We could possibly be together again.

Truth is...
by J. Lau

I used to think
That I can control,
The feelings I had for you
And the thoughts of being with you.

I kept my distance,
I held my stance.
I treasure the friendships,
And I wished you both happiness.

I knew that it will not
Be an easy path,
But it turns out to be much rougher
Then I could ever imagine.
Cause deep down,
It hurts like crazy.

Truth is...
I cannot hold my feelings back
And ignore its existence.
I cannot pretend l am not jealous,
That I'm not the one by your side.

Truth is...
I cannot ignore the pain anymore,
When comforting you when you fall.
I cannot stand seeing you being hurt over and over again,
And there's nothing more I can do.

Truth is...
I'm not being truthful and fair to myself,
Cause it hurts so much inside each time you cry.
I cannot leave this wound open,
And not distance myself to let it heal.

Truth is...
I had feelings for you ever since the day we met,
And it only grew deeper as time past.
I know that I should not feel this way,
But I can't help myself thinking of you each day.

Truth is...
I was sure that you were the one,
ever since we met again that day,
Around the end of June.

I don't know what to do anymore,
My logic is overwhemled by my emotions.
I still wish that everything will work out,
Between you and him.
But if one day in the years to come,
That fate finally grant me the chance.
I wish that we will be together,
Forever less a day...

For that is the day,
I wanted you to know...
How I truly felt ... about YOU.

Love... for what it's worth...
by J. Lau

Love is blind;
Love is real.
Love is unconditional;
Love is illogical.
Love have no guidelines nor boundaries;
Love have no rules nor reason.
Love cannot be measured, nor can it be defined;
Love cannot be forced, nor can it be brought.

Love leaves no room for selfishness;
Love leaves no room for disrespect.
Love asks for nothing but honesty;
Love asks for nothing but commitment.
Love comes with anticipation;
Love comes with desire.
Love shows support;
Love shows appreciation.

Love is about loyalty;
Love is about trust.
Love is about giving;
Love is about sacrifices.
Love is about the present, and it's all about forgiving;
Love is about understanding, and it's all about compromising.
Love is about sharing - the joy and laughters;
Love is about offloading - the burden and sorrows.

Love cannot be selective;
but requires acceptance of the person as a whole.
Love cannot be partial;
but requires sincerity from the bottom of your heart.
Love is surreal;
but can be painful.
Love is eternal;
but can be fragile.
Love can deepen with time;
but needs reassurance;
Love can magnify with care;
but needs attentiveness.

Love leaves no regrets,
and leaves behind a trail of memories;
Love completes the circle,
and redefines the meaning of life.
True love comes once in a lifetime,
for it will also last no less then a lifetime.
True love can only be realized when you learn
how to treasure, the one in front of you
and open up your heart... to truly feel...
LOVE... for what it's worth.

Sometimes I wonder...
by J. Lau

If everything happened for a reason,
What purpose did I serve,
When I entered into your life?

Am I just a stranger?
Who happened to be his best friend,
And knew all that happened between you and him?

Am I simply a friend?
Who you were comfortable with,
And had absolutely no feelings for?

Am I the comforter I once described?
Who was there by your side,
And comforts you when you cry?

Am I your guardian angel?
Who guards and help you,
When you needed most?

Am I the soul mate that you need?
Who shared all your joy and sorrows,
And a true friend you can count upon?

Am I the passing cloud?
That happened to be there,
And slowly disappears when the sky clears up?

Am I the rainbow in the sky?
That brings you joy for that brief moment,
And fades away when the sun shines again?

Am I the white Christmas?
That happens only on occasion,
And fulfills a part of your life when all else fails?

Or am I the destined one?
Who will love and cherish you,
For the rest of our lives?

Sometimes I wonder...
How I got myself tangled,
In this complicated situation.

But one thing for sure,
That makes all that I wondered,
Not at all important,
Is that I know... I love you so.

Feelings of a year
by J. Lau

Cheated... of time,
Unsure... of events.
Sad... with reality,
Despaired... with fate.

Jealous... of him,
Confused... with reactions.
Worried... for her,
Happy... for them.

Pain... when comforting,
Lost... on answers.
Helpless... with situaiton,
Hopeful... of miracle.

Trapped... with feelings,
Overwhelmed... by logic.
Cornored... with emotions,
Wishful... of future.

I love you
by "-"ciñdy"-"

I feel it in my spirit
and keep it in my heart
I try to say the words
but then they fall apart

I don't know how to say this
I really want to
I know that I will get it
and you will too

Don't think I don't love you
Whatever you do,
and if I don't show it
let me tell it to you

I love you
by "-"ciñdy"-"

I may think of you by day
I may think of you by night
I may want to say
I'm quite alright

I may say I don't want to
I may say I don't need you
I may act like I don't care
But secretly i want you near

I may ignore you
and sometimes pass you by
But secretly I'm hurting
Very bad inside

I may say I don't like you
I may say I don't care
But secretly I love you
And I want you to be there

Beauty
by "-"ciñdy"-"

All girls have beauty
That they try not to loose
But when they give it to a
Boy they use and abuse

They always do something to
Make her beauty die
Girl shed one tear
Her beauty blows by

She give you her beauty
Among other things let loose
Her dignity and
Everything was used

So when you get her beauty
Care it well
Cause once beauty dies
Her heart will as well

"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

isn't it wonderful..?

Isn't it wonderful..?
our last winter..
when a story was written
by the sky of heaven...

the rythm of the wind..
bring us to a dream
where our soul and faith
lies within the overflowing stream...

the stars...
like the tears of thousands angels..
flowing and swaying..
unsteady but gentle..
the moon..
like the melodies of our hearts..
so sweet and tender..

isn't it wonderful..?
to walk on each other hands..
in the impeccable place.
where we found our wishing star

isn't it wonderful..?
to be always together..
loving each other..
wherever we are..

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 its destiny..
i could bring you inside my story
our fairy world, enchanted with affinity...

in my soul and in my heart.......

It was just for a glimpse..
and it was just like a dream..
it was real....?
or it was just indescribable feeling...?

the moon has turned blue....
but i still couldn't find any clue...
to fill that empty part..
suddenly we are torn apart...

when i just started to believe...
you made me deceive....
yet i couldn't resist..
cause i am just about to leave...

my world's is going to fall..
but you never give me a call..
my sight is almost gone...
oh no... don't leave me alone...

my eyes soon grow misty..
i never expect the end to be so nasty...
give me a way to flee..
oh,please, set me free....

once again, that miracle happen..
like our tales of 10 years ago..
our pure innocent love..
has break the heaven...

why you never told me..?
you run and hug me...
your tears fall onto my cheek
makes my heart want to leak

girl i love you...
that is the only reason...
all the pain and stain,i could've gone through
every power that still remain
in my soul and in my heart...
any moment of this life...

now let me feel your last soft embrace...
and your feeling toward me
in fact,you have known everything...
as i am no more lasting......

Everytime...

Everytime i go through that corridor
i still remember our steps, that have left after the rain
everytime i stand besides the road,everytime i sit on that chair
i remember what we have done

even though only words are shared
laugh and tears that have been shed
many times and too many memories we have curved on our time

everytime i open that book
i remember everything
you,him,them,have filled my days in this place
accompony,protect,play,teach,share love and stufffs,
cry,laugh,and life
everything landed on my mind

don't be afraid that you will be forgoten
don't be scared that my memory of you will be broken
i promise that it won't happen

even though our footsteps have been cleared
even though the road is no more
even though our chair have been moved
even though that book have been roten

my feeling towards you won't change
although the time has lapsed
through the wind,through the rain
i will always be,the way we were... the way we used to be

thanx friend,you have brought me fly to your world
to see any gorgeous moment
to know this world,meaning of life..
to feel the love,and spend abit happines with you
i love you.. till we meet later...
in heaven...

I tried to forget you
and i tried to move on
but each time i see you
i dream, whereupon
my heart beats much faster
I'm trying to impress
i want you to love me
though its her you posses

we share many good times
and are still best of friends
every moment with you
ill treasure till the end
Ive found being "just friends"
is harder than it sounds
an hour with you
and I'm in love again!

by ♥ iNviSibLe 2 u ♥

If only, if only youd look into my eyes,
and see that love for you hidden deep down inside.

i want to laugh with you,
to cry with you,
and hold you for all time.

but shes the one who makes you smile, shes the one you see.
im just a friend, theres no way youd love me.

I dont know how to tell you, or explain about that pain.
You see, it hurts when you walk in the room with her and not with me.

okay i admit it its jealousy im feeling,
but im really having trouble dealing with this love.

once again my dreams are crushed.
once again my heart is squashed.

but still i adore you,
still i dont give up.
Am I crazy or one day will I finally be in luck?
And youll finally feel the same as i have all through this STUPID GAME!

by ♥ iNviSibLe 2 u ♥

Havent you seen the way that I stare,
and how as you walk past i flick back my hair
Into my heart youve walked your way
without even trying your in there to stay

When i smile, you give me a wave
but what i want is that look which you gave
to that girl who you call yours
Im just a friend but i want to be so much more

You dont intend to hurt me, or even cause me pain
You dont know that i love you, but in my heart you will remain
4eva u will be my friend
I truly love you Ben

True love is kind,
True love is colorful
True love,is hard to find.

The word "LOVE" these days means nothing
It's used in every song.
It's been thrown around, abused and broken
till it no longer has a meaning.

But true love conquers all
with it on your side
you'd win every battle
True love cannot be destroyed.

True love does not boast,
True love is not self-seeking
True love never looks back
but keeps going till the end

Without it we'd all be nothing
it's the most important thing in our lives
Its what keeps us living.
True Love is what made mankind.

(sad love poem)

This is not goodbye
by Tabby

Crying by his bedside my tears flow endlessly
I held his hand so tightly never wanting to let go
Trying to not think about what is about to be
I look up at him trying to not let my sadness show

His eyes are closed his breathing is slow and heavy
I run my hands through his thick, dark, brown hair
His handsome face is so pale with the color gray
That I begin to cry even harder thinking it isn't fair

Sickness is taking my true love away from me
Draining away his energy happiness and light
But not stealing our love away from each other
That is the one thing that he was able to fight

His eyes slowly open and he turns toward me
He smiles a weak smile and touches my cheek
I feel myself breakdown and burst into sobs
trying to say don't die but I could no longer speak

he grabs my hand and pulls me to him
reaching for my face he brings me into a kiss
then he hugs me with such a weak embrace
I hug him so tight never wanting to end this

Suddenly he lets go I pull myself slowly up
He looks at me with such sadness in his eyes
"I love you sweetheart"he says to me
"I love you but there will be no goodbyes"

"I love you to" I sob into his shoulder
I lay on his chest hearing his heart as I cry
I feel his breathing slowly fade away
As i sob to myself I say "its ok this is not goodbye".....

(love poem)

Only when we are alone.......
by Tabby

Copper skin soft to the touch
Silky hair black as the night sky
His eyes burn bright like fire
That you never will see cry

Arms so thick yet so warm
Keep you safe when in them
Against his fast beating heart
You wouldn't think was in him

Only when we are alone
His smile shows just for me
Only then will it show
So only I will ever see

When I give him a kiss
I feel his heart begin to race
His eyes burn into mine
As Red slowly rises in his face

His eyes slowly take me in
Not missing one spot of me
Captivating me in his loving stare
So its only him that I see

Only when we are alone
His voice is soft and sweet
Making my face blush
We feel loves splendor heat

Only when we are alone.......

I Didn't Want It To Be Him

I can see my prince in my mind
in all his shining glory,
riding on a white stallion...
In my dreams that is my story.
In truth my prince is an average guy,
except he's a lot more crazy.
Once when we were hanging out...
Nevermind-the details are a little hazy.
He's got this amazing smile,
and his eyes are like stars in the night sky.
They twinkle at me with such tenderness
I never want us to say goodbye.
With him I either laugh or want to cry.
Life alternates between Heaven and Hell.
People wonder about the mystery behind my joy,
though who he is I'll never tell.
I love the way his voice caresses my soul
and I hear angels sing "Sweet Cherubim".
Out of all the guys that I could want,
I never imagined that I'd want him.

Let there be love - by Biscuit

All around me is love;
the sun in the sky,
casting an all-seeing eye
on the world,
accentuating the beauty of the flowers, the grass, the midsummer calm.

Bouncing on the water,
the sun crystallises the river,
bringing love to life within it
and upon it.

A cool breeze wanders lazily around,
rippling the water,
rustling the trees;
everything loves and is loved in return.

You are my sun; all the beauty in me was created by you.

Laying side by side
with our fingers entwined,
we compliment each other perfectly. Blissfully.
Sculpting each other we become one,
and yet this is not
because we want each other but because
we were meant to be together –
I was made for you, and you for me,
like the stars for the sky.

The whole world was made by,
and for love, but of all
the love that surrounds us,
there is nothing greater than my love for you and
I desire nothing more than your love for me.
For what is love if it is not mutual?
What do we live for if not for love?

I live for you. I share
every breath, every thought, every heartbeat
with you.
You are the cause of every smile, every laugh,
all the happiness inside me.

When I look into your eyes I see all
the stars in the universe twinkling back at me, and
your smile is the sun – so
comforting and warm, the centre of everything,
the most important and beautiful thing in the world.

True Love - By Meaghen

She never knew how much she needed him until she woke up and he wasn't there

She never thought of telling him how much she cared

Until she found the note he laid by her head

as tears fell with every single word she read

He told her how his heart didn't belong to her anymore

No matter how hard he tried it just wasn't like before

He couldn't take it he didn't want his life to be this way

Those are the reasons he just couldn't stay

As she lowered the note and let it fall to the floor

she let the tears roll as she ran to the dresser drawer

Out she pulled a bottle of champaign

This would help,It would take away some of the pain

She just needed some way to escape

But it didn't end at that she was the one holding the knife with every scrape

She couldn't picture her life if he was the one

She didn't want to live she had no where to run

Everything reminded her of him in every single day

She was just like him she just couldn't stay

He was the one that found her lying face down in the bed

He couldn't believe what he saw he was to late she was already dead

He was coming back to tell her how he was wrong

And how he finally knew this was where he belonged

She didn't deserve it what he put her threw

She was the one who was always there and always true

He couldn't live with what he had done

She was it, She was the one

He wanted to be with her so he slit his own veins

This was it they'd feel no more pain

They both went where they'd be together up above

They took there own lives for each other because of true love!

This is love
By Ipsita Bose

I found the one I love,
but I have to give him away
He makes my life shine
but I still can't let him stay

This road of love,
is filled with pain
I cry my never ending tears
but can't let him see the stain

Hiding my feelings,
I've closed my heart's door
There's no hope left,
I just can't love anymore

Will my life go on like this?
One by one, every love I'll have to miss

These unanswered mysteries,
slowly roam around in my head
I can't help but think of his love
As i lie here in bed

What I want to achieve,
I'm yet to find
I hope I can move on,
And leave this paradise of romance behind

Falling in love with you
By Ipsita Bose

et again I start a journey,
Only this time giving our relation a different name
I'm tired of playing hide and seek
I'm ready to play a new game

In this romance,
I can't find words to describe how I feel
I can't give away everything,
But one by one every word I'll let you steal

So colorful your love seems,
Now the world has turned pale
Your love has changed every bit of my soul,
Yes, only my heart can tell this tale

I find your words engraving themselves in my mind
I close my eyes and still it's you I find

Every little promise,
Now you want to keep
I see now,
How peacefully on your lips they sleep

This distance,
miles after miles, has kept us apart
While it was drowning in the deep sea of love,
You saved my heart

The sun seems brighter
Because it gleams with your smile
The blue glaze of the moon keeps my heart waiting
Yet, all seems worthwhile....

Your Paradise
By Ipsita Bose

I'm the girl you want to know
I'm the river in which you want to flow
I'm your destiny's desire
I'm your burning fire

The girl who's always in your sight
I'm the one who makes you feel right

I'm the shape you want to mold
At night, I'm the one you want to hold

Watch your step, as you'll lose yourself in my eyes
I'll heal your every wound and silence your cries

I'm the dream that you wish would come true
I'm the mystery you have to solve without a clue

The beautiful face in your sky is me
I'm the trance that makes you blind but then helps you see

I'm the road which has no end
I'm the only love that can help your heart mend
I'm your melting ice
I'm your..... Paradise

Good night kiss
by Even roses have thorns

She looks at him
just lying there
slow, deep breaths
of his deep slumber
she remembers the day they met
he wore a bright blue shirt,
her favorite color,
her in a red satin gown
their eyes met
sparks flew,
he asked her to dance
she would never turn him down
gliding through the ballroom
looking into each other's eyes
everyone else vanished
it was just them two
the magic came to an end
with the coming of the night
off they went to be alone
they sat in the courtyard
and there was where they fell in love
now they must retire to their homes
but before they leave
one amazing good night kiss
stirring in his sleep
he looks at her with loving eyes
and whispers "i love you"
kissing his forehead
she whispers "i love you, too"

Truth Be Told

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…

LAST WORDS

To die is one thing that she craves
Her last remaining will
Sure that once she's dead and gone
There'll be no urge to kill

Streaks of black run down her cheeks
Silent as her grave
Whispers of the blinded truth
She's one they cannot save

Tortured mind and broken soul
A mess without a cause
So many lives she could have had
But someone locked he doors

Only one path left for her
Self inflicted pain
Cutting was the only way
She kept herself half sane

Never let herself be loved
It would hurt too much
No one would stay with her
Through hurt and tears and such

16 years she has endured
and never has been kissed
her frozen heart begins to melt
it pours out of her wrist

"lie me on a bed of roses
thorns and buds alike.
That represents the way I lived
To heaven now I'll hike"

"My blood will fall just like the tears
from pain inside and out
and of the way I chose to die
there never was a doubt"

"I didn't bleed my body dry,
or choke on crystal tears.
I died because you broke my heart,
I've loved you all these years"

I'm eagerly waiting for the results...

Much Love,
