No Point
I've often wondered
if the point really is
that there is no point.
Have you?
Sometimes life
is hard.

Chasing Amy
It started out as an innocent flirtation
but when he and Amy's eyes met
and she smiled wide at him he knew
he had to have her for his own
To say that he was drawn to Amy
would clearly be an understatement
there was something about her that intrigued him but he couldn't say what
He went after her hard and fast
leaving her with no doubt he wanted her
but it didn't seem to matter much
he saw it was only driving them apart
It wasn't supposed be this way
Amy turned the chase into...

So Long
your chance to win my love has passed
and I say so long at last
now, I wouldn't give you the time of day
not even if you asked.

My Farewell
I can read
between the lines
your love is hers
it isn't mine
don't look for me
I won't be there
I was a fool
to think you cared
It was her
you wanted all along
to play at love
is simply wrong
I've learned my lesson
and learned it well
And so I say
my farewell
between the lines
your love is hers
it isn't mine
don't look for me
I won't be there
I was a fool
to think you cared
It was her
you wanted all along
to play at love
is simply wrong
I've learned my lesson
and learned it well
And so I say
my farewell

Inspire
one kiss is all it took
to draw a spark
lips lingering on lips
trembling, trailing
down my neck
inspiring me to
new heights
awakening a desire
in me that
long lay dormant
until now
lips that make
me quiver
lips that are divine
tonight they are
all mine
to draw a spark
lips lingering on lips
trembling, trailing
down my neck
inspiring me to
new heights
awakening a desire
in me that
long lay dormant
until now
lips that make
me quiver
lips that are divine
tonight they are
all mine

What To Do
can you tell me what to do
I seem to be so confused
I feel like I am upside down
you might perceive me as a clown
now this is what I believe
awash in deep creativity
with pen and paper
I've been bound
to take a little slice of life
something a bit ordinary
and turn it into something
quite extraordinary

Touche'
stop
please go away
I don't care
what you
have to say
I never wanted
to be a part of
your world of cliches
where mediocrity
is hard at play
it isn't what
it isn't is
don't we hate
the whatever'sssss spin
I escaped the trap
you tried to lure me into
you play a twisted game
you're so lame
you can call me fake
but that's not real
you think you
are such a great big deal
you aren't nothing
but a shell of a man
you know it's true
I trouble you
so in...

Is It Love Or Is It Madness?
I welcome you into my life with
heartfelt gladness
no longer do I live in sadness
but is this love or is it madness
Sometimes I feel a certain badness
because I'm always taking chances
with love and romances
so is it really love or is it madness
I love the way you admire me
I crave all of your lovely glances
now, I expect some sweet advances
can this be love or is it madness?
perhaps a little bit of both!

Star-Crossed
A collaboration by faithmairee (Faith Elizabeth Brigham) and zenithquazar77 (Marcus Cooke)
Here's where the story starts
with arms across
love and loss
A place where
time and lovers lost
two star crossed lovers
counting the cost
Hand in hand
through resurrection
oposed to their
Masters objection.
There was an evil empire
ruled by unseemly men
Their evil knew no boundaries
It sprang up everywhere
Two star-crossed lovers
once were imprisoned there
held in a lion's den
...

There Is A Hunger In My skin
there is a hunger in my skin
it goes away but comes again
this hunger was there from long ago
it gave my life a rocky start
regardless of this I would be remiss
if I didn't say I loved you in spite of this
I know the hunger stemmed in part
from all the pain inside your heart
I'm sure you loved me the best you could
in just the way a mother should
it goes away but comes again
this hunger was there from long ago
it gave my life a rocky start
regardless of this I would be remiss
if I didn't say I loved you in spite of this
I know the hunger stemmed in part

There Is An Aching In My Heart
there is an aching in my heart
for a love that won't depart
this love I carry deep inside
'twas cleansed by all the tears I cried
this torch it burns both day and night
it glows with such a lovely light
though we are many miles apart
I can not heal from Cupid's dart
I have a longing deep inside
filled with a desire I must hide
the moments we once shared were real
your presence I so often feel
the fact that I can not let go
is truthfully the saddest part
all hope for us it does depart
there is an...

Poetess
And so
I am a Poetess
in my own right
penning my verse
late into the night
This gift of
mine
a plight divine
to share these words
all intertwined
I am a Poetess
a lover of art
committed to
spill my ink
'tis from my heart
for I am a Poetess
creating a spark...
leaving my mark
on the world
in my own way
