Burning
Burning
Burning hot steam-
Magma- the thunder of the earth
And its flesh thereof
Pounding
Pounding
Pounding and waiting
Waiting...
To explode- up
Upwards thrust
The swelling
The moving
The rumbling into motion
Rock then turns into roll
Rolling up
Up into the sky
A climax of dust &
Heat & steam &
Fury that is the volcano.
A plethora of energy
Exhausted...
And then- in its wake
The promise of new life.
Life with which to begin again...

Okay- this one's called-... (actually this one has no title)

He touched her gentle cheek
As the morning dew caressed
The rising of the dawn.
Her soft hips caressed his warmful sigh
And he waited for her open eyes
To offer the foreverness of his love.

"Sparkling wine of radiance
Her hair doth shine like the sea-
Colors of dawn drifting
Down upon her skin.
Innocence yet untamed.

Soft you glow! And how!
Watching as she doth rise-
Speak to her sweet and now
With wings of love in your eyes.

Doubt thou the stars are a' fire
Doubt that the sun doth not move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt I LOVE.

Falling & Rising
Rising
Rising
Air
Moist & wet &
Honey dripping
Like the warm skin between
Your thighs
The little highs
And the sound of an
Eloping sigh
Marks the beginning of the end.
As I reach in to touch you
The cries turn and writhe
Around &
Around &
Back into the recesses
Of my heart.
Jet black graffiti sprayed
Against a colored background
Hanging in broken galleries
Of a once called tortured soul.
Petals of metals
And flakes of flowers
The fragrance of your lips
Surpass the motion
Of your hips
Tension...
Tension...
Climax and
Release..
The beauty is for you alone
The Ecstasy-
The Ecstasy is for us both...

"PASSIONED"

Their eyes never shifted, never
wavered. Both faces were glassy and
almost wax-like under all of the charry
grime wiped upon their skin. A barrage
of echoeing gunfire collapsed in the
background. The sky was blood red and
liken to sweat. Thick desolation inched
its way along the horizon.
Studded in their battle uniforms,
old and proven, the opposing warriors
sat; the surroundings no more than rubble
of a long forgotten store house. It was extremely dark for the time of day that
it was.
The day?
There was no day; no year, and no time.
Frozen titans in a war too long
fought to remember the right or reason.
And then one of them spoke.
"Got a family?" His voice was tired
and very deep.
"Don't know." The other was remorseful.
"Had a wife?"
"Yeah, and two kids."
"Really."
"Sure. Chris- he's the oldest, and
Jennifer."
"My wife's name was Jennifer."
There was silence. Even as the gunfire
continued.
"Your gun really loaded-?" asked the
second.
"Both barrels."
"I don't think you'll really be needin' both of them."
"Nice of you to tell me."
"If you shoot me..."
"It works both ways."
"So, what do we do now?"
"Why don't we just - sit here for a
little while," he sat back as the blood
from his head wound trickled down his
face. He grinned a little, finishing his
sentence. "-And see what happens."
"What's your name?"
"Haven't got one. And you?"
"Don't remember."
"You gotta swig-?"
"Sure-"
The man reached down and pulled out
a small flask of whiskey. Keeping one
hand on his gun, he tossed the drink over
to the other. Their eyes never shifted,
even as the second man reached down to
pick it up. He placed the open bottle
to his lips. The contents warmed his
chilled organs.
"Thanks."

I'm sittin' in the livingroom
I see people talking to each other on tv
What would it be like
To speak single word to you
Your reply would be kind
Oh, I long to hear your voice

I'm just waitin'
Yes, for you to walk in the door
I often have dreams of the day
Now I know it could never be
If I only got to know you
That would be the day
Oh, that would be the day

As I walk to my car I see lovers
They are sharing kisses of love
What would it feel like
To share a single kiss with you
Would it make our hearts as one
Oh, I long to share a lover's kiss
Yet you are forever faraway

I lay awake in my bed
My mind wishes so many things
Yet, it comes back to me
What would it feel like
To be held by you
Told to never worry you are here
My heart always starts to pound at that
Yet, I know it could never be

Why do I torture myself
Do I like seein' pain
You have been taken from us
That is all I want to know
I know it was fate
I ask if you were my true-love
And it always goes to one thing
My heart poundin' faster

Just waitin'
But not for you to walk through the door
For me to find you wherever you are
Love can build things
It has built my heavenly door
And yes, when that day comes
I'll find you with love in my heart
And a kiss on my lips...

I knew that didn't sound right. I left out a line.

Tears start to flow
Memory comes
Oh, pain and sorrow

She sits down
She starts to write
"Dear..."

"You no longer..."
Thoughts of her mother
Her hollering and yelling comes to mind

"Leave a message..."
A friend who always said she'll be there
Not now, at the time most needed

"I'll talk to ya tomorrow..."
A man, she always trusted
Didn't have a single moment for her

Okay, this here one goes out to Amanda:

LISTEN-

You're now thirsting- walking in the desert
All alone
You're now searching- lost in isolation
From your soul
When the bullet you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding it harder to
Digest
When the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's no decoy-
Why? Why can't you listen?
Why can't your hear?
Why don't you listen- LOVE springs Everywhere.

You now hunger- feeding your mind with
Selfishness
You now wander- aimlessly around your
Consciousness
When the prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
The silence creates necessity
And you're floating yourself with the ships of
Despair
Your courage now impaired-
Why can't you listen?
LOVE springs Everywhere...

You crucify all honesty
No sign to see- do you believe?
And all your words- just twist & turn
You're flying just to crash and burn
Fighting to the bitter end- if only your heart
Could open...
Would it listen?

Siiting all alone
Waiting by the stupid phone
Sensless to wait like this
For that imaginary someday kiss
How can one ever think of someone they never miss?
I long to look into your eyes
then I will know if life has been one big lie
It is you and you alone
I will wait forever by the un-ringing phone.

Just wrote this for the hell of it right now!

The music stops
The rain pours
What was once beauty
Is now fallen hope

Who is to say
What is
What could be
Or what should have been

Who is the greatest of all
Why tell me great one
Is it you I miss

Chuckling to one's self
As a thunder bolt hits close by
One doesn't chuckle at that
One runs for home
But where is home that one might say

Nowhere, but somewhere
Confusing!!!
But quite amusing...

I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine

I would cry for you
I would cry for you
I would wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown you in fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
For someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking
You won't believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I would twist a knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart

Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm feeling
You won't believe in me
And I can never be ignored

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever...?

"beautiful"

beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
Wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come
And i can't help but feel attached
To the feelings i can't even match
With my face pressed up unto the glass,
Wanting you..
Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the
Sky
Wonderful, it's wonderful, to know that you're just like i
And i'm sure you know me well, as i'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell
Who you'll love and who you won't
And i love you- as you love me
So let the clouds roll by your face
We'll let the world spin on to
Another place
We'll climb the tallest tree above it all
To look down on you and me and them-
And i'm sure you know me well,
As i'm sure you don't
But you just can't tell,
Who you'll love, or who you won't-

OKAY- here goes-
1ST poem-

"A LETTER TO NOBODY"-

You don't know me.
Because you don't want to.
Or maybe it's because you don't care.
Maybe I'm an unwanted intrusion or
Maybe I'm a superficial invasion
Of your privacy.
You don't know me.
And that's the way you'd like to keep it.
Because to tell you the truth-
It's more convenient that way
For you. And for me, too, I suppose.
When I cry, you're not there to hold me &
When I laugh, it's not from one of your emotions;
The walks I take &
The nights I lie awake;
The phone that doesn't ring &
The songs I tend to sing don't move you to
Tears or
Love or
Fears or
Hate, because-
You don't know me.
I've tried &
I've cried &
I've lied to myself about you.
Maybe it's my fault you don't know me.
Maybe I've found a thousand reasons
To keep you from sharing
To keep you from caring
To keep you from running into my arms &
Knowing all about me.
But it's not all that.
It's you too.
You just don't care &
You don't want
To share yourself with me.
So just go on then,
And walk in your pretty little way,
And speak the trivial little things you say;
And when you cry-
Wipe it on somebody else's shoulder.
Because I don't know you.
And that's the way I'd like to keep it.

-"I'll BE BACK-"

OKAY
5TH poem-(this one's dedicated to Once)

We are more than friends &
Less than lovers-
Two spirits crafted apart but
Made as one.
I reflect you as you do me
The closeness to you is like
No other but-
You are further apart than
Anyone I see
So across the Great Divide
I'll wave & say goodbye
Then turn away...

The ceilings crack under the weight of my petulance.
The walls bleed my abuse.
And yet you stayed.
Your body absorbed my passion.
Your soul absorbed my ache.
And yet you stayed.
If I tear, will you bleed for me?
If crash, will you bruise?
You stayed when I couldn’t .
Are you still there?

A tear falls from her bright eyes
It isn't for sadness
It's the great joy that she feels
It's the burning sensation in her bosom
For she is happy he's there for her
Something she has always wanted
But never really had
It is the greatness of one's word

Thanks you for all you are
You bring joy to me
And happiness to my heart
Things you say are just perfect
When you say them
Don't change for no one
You're perfect the way you are
