POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write,to put it in simple terms,What I feel,or about what happens to hold my attention at the moment.Its not very often you'll find a..light,happy poem from me.
Waiting For Angel
Waiting
Helpless to do more than fret and pace
Here in this cold hell of white rooms made for the wounded and dying
The sharp biting smell of antiseptic cannot hide
The scent of hopelessness that lies beneath.
Worried glances exchanged between those who care
While between them,the object of their observation
Lies oh so still,wounded and pale,on a hospital bed
A handsome face,once so lively and animated
Now is expressionless as that of one who's already joined the dead
The beeping of a machine
Is the only thing to remind them ...

More Than a Friend
This might not be perfect,but it expresses just how I feel about some truly amazing friends.
We've had our fair share
Of cat-fights and childish spats
We're headstrong and stubborn to a fault
And sometimes don't agree
But when it comes down to the truth..
You are not a friend.
You are so much more.
You're the sister to my soul
My partner in crime
In simple terms..you're my best friend
You're quick to laugh
And even quicker to make me laugh
You understand me,Even when no one else does
You get my jokes
And laugh...

The Hanging Tree
There once was a little boy
Who loved this dear little girl
And every day,they played neath the crooked branches
Of the Hanging Tree
Round and round they went
Laughing and shouting so joyfully.
Years began passing
And soon it came to be
The boy,now a young man
Asked the sweet girl
To meet him neath the crooked branches
Of the Hanging Tree
As midnight drew near
And Night veiled the land with mist
The two young lovers met
And shared but a hasty kiss
Neath the crooked branches
Of the Hanging Tree ...

Games
Get it in your head boy
It was never me and you
It was a childish game we played
One made of falsely said "I love yous."
And promises we never intended to keep
You knew this game was fake
Yet here you are crying
Begging me to take you back
When all along you had a ace up your sleeves
She's all yours now
And I'm alone-
Far more free than I've ever been
You think I'll be miserable without you
But here I am
Laughing,wild and free
So go ahead boy
Toy with your girls
Leave me out of your game
I'm the one you'll never...

Leave me out of your game
I'm the one you'll never...

Never Meant To Be
"I love you..we were meant to be."
Lay still my love
And listen to what I have to say
We are so different
You and I.
You live for the gold of the day
And I for the silver of the night
Your eyes,so warm and alive,sparkle with the fire of life
Mine,once vibrant now faded,are shadowed by the darkness of death
You thrive in the light of the sun
And I bloom under the glow of the moon
Your heart is so whole and pure
Mine is tattered and messily stitched together
You were born a peace keeper
And I with a desire to fight
You...
Lay still my love

Twisted Artistic
I'm artistic
Can't you see?
I'm a twisted little bitch
Yes that's me.
I create art on a canvas that's so..unique
As I wash my brush clean
Bloody red paint flows into the sink
Leaving behind no evidence of my art to be seen
I put away my brush
Silver and sharp,glinting in the light
I roll down my sleeves,covering my art in a rush
I know it's not right
To be so artistic
And so twisted
But this is me
And the twisted art in which I express myself
Hidden art is all it'll ever be
I should stop,set my brush away on the shelf...

Every High Thing Must Come Down
Every high thing must come down
Fold your wings and touch the ground
Go forth into the earth to see what you can find
Be wary of the dark and don't let it steal your mind
Six feet deep you're laid to rest
Little fallen one you did your best
Your tormentors made your life a living hell
Ripped out your wings and away you fell
You turned to a blade
To escape the nightmares they made
Scarlett stained wrists
Tattered white note clenched in a fist
Sleep now my angel,buried so deep
Dream eternity away while I weep
Sleep soundly in...

Playboy 2
There's this playboy
And I made the mistake of saying "Hey Boy."
And so ensnared
I fell for him
Sinking into a ocean in which I couldn't swim
This playboy was not destined to be mine
Which I see now-Is perfectly fine
But back then
I cried my heart out for him again and again
I learn the painful meaning of 'crush'
What it was like my have my heart crushed
Betrayed and broken by a friend
I couldn't wait for it to end
My heart-bruised and aching
Had no one to blame for this hell of my own making
He was...

Memories
Memories
Bound like pages of a book
Ordered and stacked
In the shelves of my mind
Some fondly read and dog-eared
Some stacked and stuffed away
To never again see the light of day
Bound like pages of a book
Ordered and stacked
In the shelves of my mind
Some fondly read and dog-eared
Some stacked and stuffed away
To never again see the light of day

Underland
Upon closing my eyes
I began dreaming
And with dreaming-came believing
I was swept away
Opening my eyes to a new day
In the world of Underland
Here I began to understand
The magical twists
And turns of a land
As lovely as it was twisted
My perspective shifted
The world was a riot of colors and smoke
And a place where animals spoke
My mind-ensnared in dreams
Ingnored my sanity's scream
Voices whispered,drawing me in
If this land is so wrong
Then let me continue to sin
My guides were the warped versions
Of their Waking...

Forever Isn't As Long As It Use to Be
I thought best friends meant forever
I thought any storm we could weather
But I guess forever
Isn't as long as it use to be
I thought,at least you,would keep a promise to me
I remember every day we hung out
Our private jokes
And every secret we spoke
Guess forever isn't as long as it use to be
We entered highschool
And things began to change
I think,in the beginning
I pretended they stayed the same.
I was so caught up in our pretend game
That I didn't notice
The person you had become
Our fights came more often
And every...

Perfectly Imperfect
I'm perfect-
Perfectly Imperfect
I know I have flaws
The mirrior shows them all
I have scars
It just shows I've come so far
I'm not skinny
But who wants to be Miss Mini?
I'll never be Homecoming Queen
I've never been one for the popular scene
I wear too much black
And I don't put on a act
I stand for what I believe in
Most people will never like the music I'm singin
I'm a rocker
I don't play soccer
I don't follow modern trends
Who wants to blend in?
My hair is messy
I'm too sassy for my parents...
