Untitleda piece of heaven touches my unworthy skin
And it's true,
I lay unworthy of the heaven that is you,
your touch upon my skin washing away sins of old and terrible things,
how can I,
the one beyond mortal flesh and godhood,
be worthy of someone,
something as pure as you?
You are the light,
an embodiment of light while I am the darkness contained in this tainted flesh,
worthy only of the demons and pulling hell below
What if I told you of my sins,
every single one of them to have been undertaken by these two rough hands?
They are such dark things to be done by mortal kind.
It is a surprise I've not been able to die yet,
I know many
I Might Need YouI think I might need you,
But here's the thing:
I'm spinning out of control
And careening off the side of the road.
I pretend to hold on to the wheel,
But we both know I'll crash.

It wasn't a fair fight.

If you would listen,
If you would actually listen,
You would hear me whispering
"I want you."
"I need you."
"You're mine."

And if you would listen,
If you would actually listen,
You would know that
We are horribly wrong
For each other,
And that my words mean nothing.

But what's to stop us from
Sharing our sheets anyway?
We sleep folded together
Like slips of origami paper
Pressed so tightly that
We could not possi
A Poem of PoetryPoetry is like a drawing
A drawing made of words
A drawing not to be shown
But to be heard

Poetry is like the wind
For it can be soft and warm
And come in a graceful form
Or it can be swift and cold
Emanating fear and nothing bold

Words are meant
To be shared unbent
Not twisted full of lies
And should be without
Any sorrow or sighs

Poetry is beautiful
It's a song without instruments
Poetry is wonderful
A colourful collage of imagination
Poems are lovely
A poem is a story
And if you have never heard one
I shall feel very sorry
Ah, FairUpon her shoulders a cloak of ash,
and in her hand, a crystal pear.
Upon his brow, a crown of bramble.
His voice is carried on the air.
A time of rest, a time of sleep,
He wore no shoes upon his feet.
And as she spoke her voice was deep.
And as he spoke his voice was meek.
O, chaos, crystal, shattered care,
the light that catches, tosses, ere,
a sun might shine on those who keep,
a love through all the ages fair.
FamilyI’m waiting at the gates
As everything fades
On this rainy day
I keep trying to keep my head held high
The feeling within me won’t go away
Wondering if you will show up
Pretending things are okay
I put on a big grin
But the disappointment returns as the night turns grey like now

I tried to yell out to you
Fighting the tears so you wouldn’t see my pain
But, it is vain
Because they escape my eyes
And I scream out as I cry

Did you see me waiting by the train all alone?
I spend everyday waiting for you
Without an umbrella so the world will hide my cry
I begged you to come back to me
I’m waiting for some crazy fantasy
To
What happensWhat happens
If I say it
Will I disappear?
The Down Side of UpBreathing ragged
Ears pulsing with blood
Eyes unsure where to look
Nothing made sense
Nothing ever made sense
But I never expected this to happen

I couldn't even hear the cars passing by on the streets
The white tombstones of fallen soldiers nothing more than a blur
I could feel darkness beginning to swallow me whole
Was I strong enough to fight it?
Was this all just a test?
Would I ever see him again?

I decided right then and there that I would

This wasn't the end
He wouldn't have lingered so long if it was
No...
There was something more to this
Something I had to figure out

When the time was right
Afraid of the DarkI'm not sleeping
Thoughts keep crawling into my head
Preventing my tired eyes from closing
Stupid mistakes haunt my mind
Apologies I'll never get to voice dance around on my tongue
I wish I could see you
I wish you would hold me
I feel so safe in your arms
The safest I have felt in a very long time

Darkness creeps up the walls
Eerie shadows play on the ceiling
I feel as if I am lucid dreaming
Perhaps I am
Perhaps my life is merely a dream
A nightmare that I just can't wake up from
No matter how hard I try

I used to love nightfall
Now dread fills my stomach when the sun beings to set
Depression swallows me whole
And suicidal
.::Beyond These Fences::.A mother and her daughter walk down a ghetto street.
Her daughter was her world,
She wouldn't let anything crush her little dream.
"Stay close to me dear, there's nothing to fear, beyond these fences there are golden fields."
She looks to her daughter, she looks to her light,
She would not let anything harm her,
She'd protect her with her life.
She watches as a car goes speeding by,
She wishes her daughter had a better life,
But she knew that her daughter will one day fly,
Fly into the open skies.
A man comes out from within the shadows of the alleyway,
He says "I'm sorry things must be this way,"
He pulls a gun, she feels stunned,
She protec
For a man diesBreathe Slowly,
For a Man dies every second, locked in the grip of the sky.
Walk with every step in mind,
Every twitch of a finger,
Every sound, from your head to the ground,
Keep them in mind.
For a man dies every second, the beginning of an eternal dance with the one in the heavens.
Remember every follicle of hair,
Every eye that stares, every moment of fear,
An evil glare, remember it all.
For a man dies every second, and a child cries for his death.
Live today like you'll wither the next,
For we too, can be locked in the reaper's grip.
I'm Your Worn Out DollYou whisper you love me and will never let go,
But the future happens to show,
Both of us covered in blood drawn by a knife.
Have you tried to count every promise you will break in your life?
Every word that you've said that meant nothing after the smoke cleared,
And you have seemed to veer,
Away from me as I have predicted.
It seems as if you have gotten addicted,
To throwing me in the back round, pulling me out when I am needed.
Every word you've pleaded,
To me will not help the fact I feel like a worn out doll.
I now know better then to fall,
Into the words and phrases you've said to everyone and have memorized...
It's as if t
In Spirit"In Spirit"

I faded away into a dream

Of you and I and our favorite place

And I waited there until it seemed

There were no more stars to trace

I patiently stayed where you always told me

Was your favorite place to play as kids

Where we let our fears float down stream

Where I could always find you if you hid

Beneath the tree of solace by the brooks

I would wait and you'd always show

No matter how long it ever took

Even if it became twenty below

The one place we could count on

If one of our lives went awry

Where we would talk until dawn

Where we would laugh and cry

And everyday we would meet here

Under branches that sway

Cliffi wonder how far i can lean
i wonder if these pebbles will hold me
i wonder if dad is looking
i wonder if he even cares about me

i wonder what i look like
i wonder if i can fly
i wonder if i look like an angel
i wonder if angles can die

i wonder if i will die on contact
i wonder if the water will cushion the fall
i wonder if i will land on the rocks
i wonder if this will end it all

i wonder what time this is
i wonder because i lost count
i wonder if my dad knows
i wonder if he knows the exact amount

i wonder if i'll go to heaven
i wonder if i'll go to hell
i wonder if i can lie to God
i wonder if i can tell him i fell

Tug of War
Hm...
Positives, positives what to say
I have pretty porcelain skin
That shines as bright as day
My eyes are a mix of grey, green, gold, and brown
A prism of colour all the way around
My hair is the colour of fire
That glows with bright red flames
My dimples are-

Hey! What's your game?
Lets not forget you filthy whore
You've slept with at least a dozen men
And you're bigger than a store
Your stomach and thighs are nothing but fat
Who the hell would wanna get near that?
Covered from head to toe in scars and burns
Face it, you're nothing but a-

Excuse me, let me finish
As I was saying
My dimples are faint and cute

Strawberries and ScarecrowsShe was eating a strawberry -- a fine autumn day
Running around carefree in the field of wheat -- smiling

She saw him, the scarecrow, her strawberry juice smile -- tapped him on the shoulder
He turned in the wind and smiled, a happy smile -- the sun shone as it did

Offering him the strawberry juice, the scarecrow stood there -- just staring
She just smiled, her smile and continued eating -- leaving the green stalk

Turning she offered, him a skipping rope -- he stood there silent
Offering him sunshine and lollypops -- standing in the Autumn showers, mute

With no response, she shed a tear -- crows circling above
Heart broken, she wandered i

Lucy


I watched her die
For two years
Knowing -- knowing
That it was cancer
I was told
Two years ago
She has watched me
Grow and learn
Been there
Understood
Happy to see me
Rarely complaining
A smile on her face
And happiness
We tried surgery
Finally in the end
We tried no more
And let her die
In my arms.
She has been my companion
For 12 years
Just been there

She was my loving dog, who cared for me.

Lucy RIP 8/1/2013

OMG, I'm so sorry. But she died in her sleep, which I think is the best.

RIP, Lucy.

And now I'm crying :( That's so beautiful and sweet and sad. My dog (Her name was Cookie) had a stroke and then got sick, but it was practically the same. I knew she was going slowly. :(
I'm sorry for your loss. :iconsadhugplz: If you need to talk I'm here

I got her ashes today - it is sad. i did not realised a dog could care you know. More than a lot of humans in my life. It is sad. They sit there and be faithful companion. The guy that dropped ashes off was lovely. She was lovely dog and will be sadly missed by this family. She did nothing wrong by me - not like many humans in my life. She never bit or hurt others. She trained herself. It is sad. She would not have understood me - I always stood up for her. She was lovely dog and I wish many who read this poem would understand that. SHe was waiting for me until the end. I hope she watches over me now. Sorry for the long message - it is sad because i got her ashes.
