poems
i finally broke down and decided to post a few of my poems, like the ones that got published in that stupid poetry.com book letters of the soul or to the soul or whatever the hell it was...plus two news ones that i have shown to friends...critics don't kill me...they aren't that important so its no reason to dig deep and find real hurtful things to say. lol j/k just bored, watching the rains and the winds of Charley outside our windows-which an hour ago (right in the nick of time!) i taped and boarded...but not the top! oh yeh. i can see and nobody else can..the advantage of being tall! *wicked laugh*
Crystal Eyes of Blue
I once got down on hands and knees
To beg with crystal eyes of blue,
And in my haste to make amends
I lost all love for you.
Standing so tall, so rigid,
With all the world beneath you
Still I saw jagged peaks of stormy skies
Reflected like winter frost
In the cold blue depths of crystal eyes
Wait, my love
It is you I fly.
Crystal eyes of blue,
Sway me not
For my love is high above you.
It was in innocence,
My time spent with you,
When in truth, my heart lies elsewhere,
On the rolling Plains of Dreams.
For all your words and actions cannot reach me,
While my heart stays safe
On the silver moon.
The trees have lost their blossoms,
The flowers dip their heads in shame,
I walk to my lost lover and softly say his name,
Take me away, far away,
You have won, Crystal eyes of blue.
A Conversation With Society
I am cold and quiet,
For how else should one act?
If I could talk to
A million people,
If I could touch
A thousand hearts,
Still I would just be me.
So you see?
There is no way around it.
Do not fight the hand you were dealt,
Play it wisely,
Dance along with time and never be forgotten.
Let me weep in comfort, in the shadows,
Let me hold myself strong in the light.
Gently, gently now
Pry off the lid,
Look inside and gawk with horror,
Yes, the scales were thrown aside.
That is what you want, is it not?
To see the girl fall to her knees,
A weak pathetic thing with eyes
Of liquid pools of unease?
Here I stand, scales in hand,
And wait with a smirk.
You see now?
How I have lived?
How I stay strong and fight what time has dealt?
It is my life,
It is how I choose to play it.
You Still See Nothing,
Though the stars shine bright above you.
You Still Feel Nothing,
Though the winds blows soft upon your face.
You Are Not the One for Me,
For I see all and I feel all,
In my own little world,
Can’t you see?
This is frustrating,
And so I leave.
