"Hey there, baby"
Hey there, baby”
Hey there baby, maybe you're just too stupid to understand
that I'll always love ya crazy
and that I wanna hold your hand.
Hey there baby, here we go. I probably ought to just let go.
But I ask my heart this question.
The damn thing keeps sayin', "No!"
Half the time I don't know what to do.
Why can't love be an easy way?
Instead we're left to struggle through
in all the games that Cupid likes to play.
Maybe this or maybe that.
Maybe maybe never was.
Or maybe maybe's answer from the...

Meet Me
Meet Me
Meet me in the middle.
I will be waiting there for you
as it is meeting in the middle
which ensures a love is true.
Meet me when the sun
is close to calling it a day,
with nighttime's slow approach
where we can watch as shadows play.
Meet me where the river
is forking to the left and right.
Each joining further downward
increasing in their might.
Meet me where the waves
gently roll kissing the sand.
Reach for me reaching for you,
joining hand in hand.
Meet me...
Meet me in the middle.
I will be waiting there for you
as it is meeting in the middle
which ensures a love is true.
Meet me when the sun
is close to calling it a day,
with nighttime's slow approach
where we can watch as shadows play.
Meet me where the river
is forking to the left and right.
Each joining further downward
increasing in their might.
Meet me where the waves
gently roll kissing the sand.
Reach for me reaching for you,
joining hand in hand.
Meet me...

Lace of Death
Lace of Death - just a fun, dark poem. I like a good dark poem now and then.
When will it come,
the black lace of death?
Will I know of the moment
when I take my last breath?
Will I be strung in the gallows?
Will my ears hear a song?
Will they forgive my choices
I made to be wrong?
The black lace of death,
I know your brother well.
He has captured my soul
and left this withering shell.
Do not laugh by my absence.
In the end I will scream
as you poison my brain
with your perverted dream. ...

One Look In Your Eyes - KristinaX
One Look In Your Eyes
And so it begins with one look in your eyes.
With one look in your eyes I am hypnotized.
I am here but not there.
I am everywhere.
With one look in your eyes is the ultimate prize.
Take me somewhere I have never been
but one time's not enough so please take me again.
Set me free these restraints I impose on myself
with one look in your eyes the way you did just then.
How you have me flying when you glance my way!
I am somewhere where the deer and antelope play.
With one look nothing...

Gladiator
Gladiator
Stone blocks and stone temples.
Remains of a darker time.
A darker culture.
But is it really?
Those remains stand still
although proof that even gods can die.
Conflicting emotions perhaps like those
of the forgotten gladiator,
watching now as the lion charges his way
with no choice except to perform and entertain
the sick, vicious crowd of spectators.
And so he fights amid the cheers and the boos.
He fights for his life within the stone blocks and temples
for a life that when...

Nature's Music
Nature's Music
Sitting around the fire
telling stories into night;
singing songs and sharing laughter,
everything feeling just right.
Roasting the marshmallows,
being with the ones you love.
There is nothing like the nighttime sky,
so many stars above.
As some stumble off to sleep
let yourself rise from by the fire;
hear the pops and snaps of the wood
beginning to expire.
Walk to the water's edge
as if almost without choice;
the crickets and frogs calling out,
hypnotic is...

On Touching A Star
On Touching A Star
I touched a star when I was empty
and my star, it touched me too
until that fateful night it disappeared,
my star, it fell from view.
I hold a piece within my heart and soul
that I cannot let go.
I touched a star and it touched me
now seems so long ago.
My star became too heavy.
Perhaps my embrace too much to bear
and thus my star was made to fall
crying in despair.
My star no longer shines.
This night sky I never knew.
If only we had never touched
but then, ...

Crimson Eyes
Crimson Eyes
In the recesses of time there exists a creature
that no one wishes to know.
Shadows dance, though epileptic.
Eyes of crimson open and glow.
On the cave walls bats cling and sigh.
Somewhere far off water rolls.
Blood light peeks in to illuminate
this creature so said hungry for souls.
Our hero walks towards the cavern of time,
light fading, revealing the shepherd moons.
The cavern on the horizon, here he stops,
he prays, he meditates, he consults the runes.
'Destroy the creature,'...

Decisions
“Can I help you with anything?” the associate asked me.
“Huh?” I replied, jumping a little. I had been in deep thought,
trying to decide on which cereal to buy.
“You've been standing here for almost twenty minutes,” she said.
“Oh! Actually, twenty-three and a quarter!” I corrected her,
directing her to my watch. It was a Seiko and I was proud. Damned proud.
“Well, my mistake,” she said. I caught the slight eye-rolling attitude and I would
have mentioned it but it was a Saturday. If it had been a Sunday or a Wednesday ...

Blue waves crawl ashore.
Body resting underneath

Chill
Chill
There's begun to be a chill in the air.
The trees gently sway and creak in despair
for they are bare and this time is a time they know.
Soon they shall be covered in ice and in snow.
Perhaps the creaking is the sound of their bitter bones
or their way of communicating their pleas and their moans.
Rooted deep down and with nowhere to hide
yet still they stand strong out of ferocious pride.
In time the cold period will certainly pass.
The trees' beauty shall return which none can surpass.
They will have...

Escaping
Escaping
It was the only thing on my mind!
Just...get....away!
But every possible way that I could see was blocked by one of them.
I should not have walked back to the center.
The older ones seemed the worst!
Such fierceness on their faces!
Closing in on me slowly....slowly...
backs hunched and arms out!
Hands like claws!
I tried to show them the piece of paper,
that I really was okay but it did not seem to matter!
The alarm had been activated and in their brains
this had activated "KILL!" ...
