They love each other so much and never get much time together.

lonely place-- dedicated to : Ashley and Alisha
ONLY YOU
AND NO ONE ELSE
FEAR SNEAKS UP ON YOU
LIKE THE DARKNESS
IT SLOWLY CREEPS UPON THE LIGHT
SMOTHERING IT
UNTIL ITS IN
A COCOON OF ISOLATION
THERE IS NO STRUGGLE
NO ONE THERE TO DEFEND
IT WILL TAKE A TRUE FRIEND
TO SAVE ONE FROM SUCH SORROW
SO I SIT
SCARED STIFF
HERE IN
MY LONELY PLACE.

Too Many Tears
There are too many tears that you have lost.
You've cried all day and all night,
because you think people hate you.
There are too many tears that you have lost,
just because you think you have no friends.
There are too many tears that you have lost,
out of the pain inside you.
There are too many tears that you have lost,
'cause you feel so empty inside.
There are too many tears that you have lost,
because you think no one loves you.
There are too many tears that you have lost,
with all that you have gone through in life.
But you must remember.
There is hope, there is love,
and one day you will have someone,
to take all that pain away.

I Miss You
When I'm without you all day
I can't stop thinking about you
because you are so far away.
All that goes through my mind
is how much I miss you
and how much I want to be with you.
Every moment I spend thinking of you
I wish that I could be with you
and feel your body next to mine.
So I will say, that the day will come
and when it does, it'll be wondefull.
Till then we'll have to wait.

At Night Thinking
Sitting here at night in my room alone
thinking of what you're doing now
I wonder if you miss me, I know I do.
Time passes as I look at your picture
wishing you were with me tonight.
Without you I'm nothing
With you by my side is like a dream come true
You've got to know, no one can take your place
Not in my heart, nor my soul
No one can make me feel the way you do
Every moment I spend with you
is secure and pure with love
Your touch sends shivers down my spine
I remember the first time we spent together
And knowing you the way I do
makes me realize how lucky I am
Sometimes, I'm not sure what to say to you
One thing I'm sure of - I care for you
and love you from the bottom of my heart!

sadness


Sadness has fallen upon me
I don't know why is has
I wish it hadn't fallen though
the only way to heal it
is to hurt my self.

This sadness won't go away
how do I make it stop?
Do I keep hurting myself?
Keep crying myself to sleep?

What?
I cant stop feeling sad any more.
But I don't even know why I am.
I guess I just am,
I just wish someone would help me.
But no one ever does!!
Please let this sadness out of me before something serious happens!!

LA LOI DU PLUS FORT

"Par amitié pour Moïse MARCE"

Pour l'énergie nécessaire à l'industrie
Et aussi pour le chauffage domestique
A l'ouest de l'hémisphère nord
Industriel, développé et civilisé
Pauvre en ressources naturelles
Et à démographie déréglée,
On adore l'uranium et le pétrole
Le gaz naturel et l'immigration
Et d'autres matières premières
Venant du sud ensoleillé,
Des pays de gens à peau foncée…
Des pays pauvres à dictatures variées
Dont les cerveaux fuient
Vers Bruxelles, Londres, Paris
Pour vivre en crevant de nostalgie !
C'est la règle imposée
Par le nouvel ordre économique
International
Encore et toujours
Basé sur la loi du plus fort !..

Confusion
I feel it in my head
Can't understand.
It pulls beneath the surface.
Can't control it.
Something lets go.
A world of chaos.
People going every which way.
What is this and that?
How can this happen?
Who set this upon me, it's beyond me
to find myself.
The walls are closing in...
STOP!
It's very blurry.
I'm dizzy and unstable.
This is confusion.

Arabian Night
A land full of mysteries and secret desires
full of love, hatred, and realigous liars
Dark eyes and long veils cover their trails
as the nomads make their way across the sea of sand
The moon shines bright upon a bellydancers gold
She moves like an angel but she is ever so bold
with fangs like a cobra she looks for her prey and waits for
a man to be led a stray
As the sun rises in the east they bow their heads to pray
and give thanks to Allah for this Arabian day

Fear
Blind As I
can see
I look around
I see nothing

I hear voices
Is it in my head?
Or maybe it is the voices
Of the dead

I feel something
Is it there?
What is it?
I don't know

I walk around
Not knowing where I am
I can't tell
I am lost.

Take The Time
Lust for knowledge is sought
As deception of truth is grasped
Birth is remarked as a blessing
and death comes to us all
In this journy of life things are not what they seem
and wise poeple listen to there own advice
Choices are to be made, some bad and some good
But weither there is light or dark dose not matter
For it all falls down to a sea of hate called the human race
Where poeple crawl over one another trying to reach some
higher ground, but they do not notice the poeple who
drown below them
Beacuse they can not witness there own fate
There is to much pain in this world for one man to bare
But we all try to hold are own when all we need is a
place in are mind to let go, just let go of all of it
No crime and punishment, no revelutionist and politicion,
No rednecks and homosexuals, no women or men, no children
or adults.
Just you, you and your own thoughts
Take the time and reflect for these are the days when
everyone needs to rest.

There's no way to explain
how you make me feel.
Butterflies in my stomach
the tingle in my spine,
our first kiss
you'll forever be mine.
I wish oyu were here
to stay in my arms
to hold me so close
to be my lucky charms.
A heart full of roses
water so pure,
heat in the stoves
and you I shall lure.
A wreath of gold
harmony in the distance,
I want you to hold
forever until the end of existance.

Standing Alone
In this world
Of fear and Pain,
I stand alone
in the rain.
Where I am needed
I do not know,
So many places
I want to go.
You can try to put me down
or turn my smile into a frown,
but I will stand
ever so tall,
and I can promise you this,
I will not fall!
I will run a hundred miles
and make my dreams come true,
but all the while
Im standing alone,
caring just for you.

as i stood in the driveway to say my final goodbyes, i could tell he didnt wanna go by the tears in his eyes.
he said"i remember, no regreats never",
i replied "i will love you always and forever".
he pulled me close and kissed my head,
as he drove away, i felt gone, almost dead.
for the next mont all i could do was wait,
then sudenly my heart was filled with rage and hate.
as my stomach slowly grows bigger,
all i fells is lonelyness and thoughts of pulling the trigger.
he had said that he would be back to help raise his child,
but all i have to show for that are custody papers filled.
if only i had waited a couple more years,
i wouldnt have a baby that cried so many tears.
so all you girls that think one time is okay,
just think of the game your going to have to play.

dont be fooled by the face i wear
i give you the impression that t am tough
but all iam asking for is love
but my emotions just take over me

I wear a face of a thousand faces
dont be fooled
for gods sake dont be fooled
i might wear aface that says
i am cool
but beneath is fear and lonelyness

the suface of my face is smooth
beneath is rigid and tough
oh a thousand faces in wear
i flinch at the thought of being exposed
for a thousand faces i wear

for my faces i am afraid to show
but none of them is me
why do i wear so many faces
why cant i just be me

Sleepless
I have met a man who is not to be seen
I have fell in love with a man but cannot find his heart
And of this great love that i am apart comes an enormous strength
I have not seen him nor touched his face
and yet i have felt his warm embrace
I hear the wind whisper his love for me and though he is far he comes for me
Through valleys of darkness he dares to brave
no one shall save me from his love
i have gone too far
i've drifted too deep
this is why i get no sleep

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss
If you love me tell me this
Do you love me or do you not
you told me once but i forgot
Of all the guys that i have met
you're the one i can't forget
and if i die before you do
i'll go to heaven and be with you
and if you're the there on Jugdement day
I'll know you went the other way
i'll give the angels back their wings
And risk the loss of all my things
And just to show you my love is true
i'll go down there and be with you

The truth of the matter

God is not just a state of mind or a mysticle illusion.
He is the Father, the Son,and the Holy Ghost.
He is the only good in the world. He is the only light.
There is more to life than just being good.
There is more to life than just doing the right thing.
We are here to love God and through him each other.
But your love is put to shame if you are not saved.
Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and your life will change.

Freedom Of Life
Do you think we're afraid?
Yeah we cried,
and alot of us died,
but guess what,
I'm still alive.
For those who died,
you know we cried
but we never lied
when we made the promise
that Bin Laden would die.
We know he can run,
we know he can hide,
but we'll take the stride
to remember
our pain and strife.
We'll never give up
our freedom of life.
America's the knife
that will steal your life.
Remember this Bin Laden,
you're so full of hate
and America is Great.
Hate can destroy a building,
but only love can keep it standing.

I reach out to you

Water rushing to our feet
and the sun dies out

The stars shine bright

that beat the sun's everlasting light.
Angel Eyes that cry for love,
you must have come
from up above.
Hold me ever so tight
in those arms forever,
and don't leave me to cry tonight.

Little Girl Dreams
My life needs to hurry and pass
cause life as I knew it
is no longer.
I wish I could return
back to those days
before the broken hearts
and before the shattered dreams.
Back to the days
where I'd wake up
just in time
for Saturday cartoons
and that's all I had to worry about.
Back to the days
where a piece of gum
could always make me happy.
Before the best friends were gone,
and back to the days when
my friend and I
would stay up
passed the wee morning hours
trying to beat the nintendo game
we've worked on for weeks.
Where my friend and I
would sing and dance
to our favourite song.
I wish for those days
to come back to me.
I miss those years,
I miss my friends.
I wish back those moments,
and I wish back those dreams.
To go back
to the promise we made
that my friend and I
would never part
and be there always.
Life as I knew it
was wonderful and great,
but it'll never be the same
because I'm growing up now.
But all I want
is my little girl dreams back.

I'm a teenager and a pastors kid
The worst breed as are known
Our reputation precedes us
The bad rep comes with the good name
People see the outward but do they really know what goes on
I'm from the right side of the tracks and i know the truth
thats why temptaion is even more tempting
Everyone's astonished if your not an angel
two roads lay ahead
the light and the dark
truth and a lie
my heart wants the truth but my flesh aches for the lie
the pressure mounts and i break
I hate myself for what im about to do

This pains back and it won't go away
I cannot tell him what i am
he would never understand
he thinks i did something that wasn't right
so now he looks at me with pain and spite
if only he knew if only i could tell
but i'm sure i rather burn in hell
no one knows
not one has a clue
not one knows who i am or what i have to do
i never wanted to hurt you
i love you

i can see the pain in your eyes

September 11
Hundreds lost in hours.
Lifes changed forever.
This date will always be remembered.
This is what the people scream!
Innocence is surrendered.
There's no time to dream.
Dream of better days than now.
Realization sets in.
Like a knife cutting through.
Feeling of false safety is lost.
Blood of the innocent was the cost.
Religion is the front for the people.
But politics is not far behind.

All they do is hassel us because of the color of our skin.
Never even stopping to think of what's within.
They call us hudlums, gangsters, thieves,
Just because we live in poverty.
Prejudice is in thier face.
Never knowing that we share a common fate.
The only thing they could do is hate.
Beat us down from our knee's to our face.
Fuck! the police is what we yell.

You said you would never leave me
But now you are gone

You are the one that left
and know your the one mssing out
You will find out soon
then you will see what I am talking about

you are a boy
and you might be able to pass your first love by
But I am a girl and every time I see you
it makes me want to cry

But I wont I will hold my head high
You wont ever give you the satisfaction

Past, present, part of you
My pasty is hazy and rather unclear,
Why do we hold the pain so very near?
It's a crutch and a handicap for anyone who does such
the joyous times are so dear
i think of them without a fear
I think of the love i lost and I fear
i fear hurt and i fear pain
Ah that dahm spark of emotion
Where does that stupidity come from?
My Lord is not afraid
I must be brave; unlike some
the strength to carry on now thats bravery

the present,the dear present, knowing at any moment life could change
the thrill, the suspense

But the future, the place you end up
Not so important

L'HUMANITE

Lorsque les aspirations primitives
S’unissent à la lutte d’intérêt
Il ne reste trace de l’amitié
Mon frère…

Tous les comportements vils
Sont à la propre hauteur de l’individu…
Les efforts de nuire
Sont derrière le bon…
Celui qui mène ses affaires égoïstement
Ne peut trouver d’ami
Mon frère…

Tout est sous observation ici-bas
Ce ne sont pas les appareils,
Mais l’être humain qui est déréglé…
C’est le jour de la course
Derrière l’amitié…
La méchanceté ne s’oublie pas
Mon frère…

Certaines créatures ne sont pas
Le mur des lamentations
A s’y retourner pour pleurer…
Les passions
Traînant l’homme derrière elles
Ne sont pas des vaches à lier !
Celui qui à un aveugle pour guide
Ne peut arriver à son but
Mon frère…

J'oublie
Ma fatigue
Parmi mes rêves…
Le soleil naît autrement
Sur mes sentiments…
Les paysages
Ne vieillissent jamais
Dans mes regards…
Mon avenir
S'éclaire en quelque sorte
Je biffe
Sur mes doutes…

Je regarde dans les yeux
Du temps plein de sentiments
Je vois une date
Dans les cieux
Des vieux enfants…

La tristesse de l'air pollué
N'entre pas
Par les fenêtres ouvertes…
La clarté des foyers
Devient un tableau…
Les oiseaux ont leurs nids
Dans les cœurs…

Lorsqu'on parle
De Mantes la Ville,
Les amitiés
Et les beautés
Me viennent à l'esprit…

Questions, Questions, all people ask are are questions
Why is it this? Why is it that?
I prefer: Why isn't it this? Why isn't it that?
Imagine the possibities our faith and unity could accomplish
In God we trust
United we stand

I promised you this!
promised you a poem but where do I begin
there are so many years we need to fill in
We had lost touch for such a long time
so many things have happened in this life of mine
but through all that's gone on and all the years passed by
I've never forgotten you and even though we've grown apart
you will always have a special place in my heart
I promised you a poem not knowing where to begin
now I write you this poem not knowing where to end.

Butterflies
It's that feeling in the pit of your stomach that makes you feel
faint and weakens your knees
You hardly breathe and you slightly shake with nervousness and
excitement
you know something will happen
you hope for the best
and when he leans in. . . . Kiss. . . . you forget the rest

Missing You
Pain flows through me
It's so unbareable
I can't see; my eyes are swelling
the tears stream down my face
It's overwhelming
i'm aching for you
the times i sleep are so few
i need you
i love you
i don't wanna lose you
but your gone
You left me alone to fend for myself in a world unknown
i feel so weak
i lost myself
my love, my friend, i seek the most
i'm lost
i live for others now
if this is the cost i never would have paid
My chest is so heavy
i'm drowning in tears
This is worse than all my fears
but in all my despair i find hope
because i know my Lord is there
if i lose all i have
no matter how much pain
i will always be happy
for you keep me sane

REBELLION
Fires raging within me
Will it consume me and my family?
"What right do they have?"
"Who do they think they are?"
This won't get me far
Anger consumes me and my eyes turn so black
I love my family
What's wrong with me?
Am I unable to see what they've done for me?
" I hate you!"
"You never listen!"
" you don't understand!"
There are so few that do
You need need me I need you
Has the fire consumed you too?

I've overcome what I thought I could never overcome
I've conquered a love that wasn't meant to be but could have been
I've conquered heartbreak
I've conquered pain
I've conquered a love that was not fake
I've conquered my emotions
And I did it for my love's sake
He was truthful; he let me go
The pain left hard and slow
I forget him now; now and always
I release him and let him go

love...
love is when you get lucky enough to find someone that looks at you the same way you do them ,or when you think of them and some how know they are thinking of you to,love is when two people see each other and now they'll be together forever,life is love and love is life and life is just waiting for that lucious loving guy or girl to come into your life forever.....

My Way= Confusing
I miss him,but he doesn't miss me
It's crazy to give up your heart at this age
Yada yada
I don't care
It was hardly giving up
When you love someone they become a part of you
The problem is that people lost the meaning of love
No fight could split it up,even when your carried away in the
moment your smart enough to know wether or not you love someone
Was it him? Was it me? My logics just crazy!
Like I said.......My Way=Confusing!!!!

Trade Center/Pentagon
I wake this morning to find this world turned upside down
Thousands of people have been killed
BOOM!!! A thunderous cloud covers Manhatten
BANG!!!Waashington's flooded with ashes
What will Bush do?
From 8:21 to 2:36 already our country speaks of war
God save us all from ourselves- for mankind destroys itself!

THOUGHTS
It's raining... hard but oddly the sun is still shining
just sitting here admiring and wondering if a rainbow will appear
I wonder if people ever really notice how much they are like a rainbow?
Just waiting around wondering if people will show their true colors
What are your colors?
Mine are my fathers
He's high above me His colors are white and blue
The deepest and lightest of blues
Sounds deep huh?
Its not a matter of deepness but a matter of reality
"But reality is cruel. What would you know about it?"
Obviously more than most. People could and have lived their
entire lives thinking they know reality and not until they reach
the brink of death do they truly understand it Jesus is Alive! Our Lord and our Creator is the only true reality
" But the cruelness of the world?"
Yes the world is cruel or the nature of the world is cruel
But Love and Forgivness conqueres all. . . always
God is Love.

This time, like no other, fills my heart with joy and sadness
this month, this season,this time of the year
i feel like a child, unknowing, excited
i feel so old like the energys gone but your content to sit and remember
i seal a kiss and it flies to heaven along with the auburn leaves in the wind
i know my Lord will catch it and he'll send it to my inspiration
children making smores as they stand around the fire
catching fireflies and setting them free
passing on her tales of mystery so the young ones won't lose her
under this moonlit sky i feel nothing but peace
I sigh and i wonder why October ever leaves

I love you grandma!

Hi Out There!!!
How exciting; im actually writing!
I love this world, no matter how many bad things are out there
People say the world is bad...they don't know what the hell their talking about
It's not the world thats bad,its the people in it
Thank God for the brave ones
Thank God for Jesus!!!
Can I hear an AMEN?
Course not;im on the net
Well this may not rhymn but it gets better yet
Just wonderin why people dont have the courage they have on the net
Where does that bravery go?
Lots and Lots of questions
Bein young has its advantages but that also means ya got alot
of life left
I guess we decide if thats a good thing.

meant to be
When I first laid my eyes on you,
I thought you were the 1 4 me.
When everyone talked about you and how cute you were,
I was sad because everyone liked you.
But when I think about it,
maybe you and me were meant to be.
You are one of a kind,
And no one can take your place.
When I found out your number I was so happy,
But then I heard sum1 else had it too.
I hope you can figure out who this is,
Because I love you so much.
If you think I'm talking about you email me or IM me,
Because who knows it could be you if your name is ERIC!

First Love
There's nothing more beautiful than a first love's embrace
Perhaps not so innocent at times as people say
But nothing will give you more pleasure than his face
For the lucky few that keep their love burning bright I
congradulate through day and night
For I am not so lucky
My love burns strong within me but as for my love he was
not as strong you see
He did not understand
He did not know
I know he loved me though
Perhaps his strength was taken away
Perhaps it never was
But in my heart I love him still
Even though my eyes shall fill with streams of water that shall
spill over my cheeks and leaving streaks
Down my face
Remembering my first love's embrace
Our love will always live on through me
I will never forget what he did for me
He opened my eyes to reality
Love is not one
But Love is two
And from those two you shall be one

One Woman
Ever known a woman who could ease an aching heart with one smile?
She pours love into your life until it forms a pile
She has fear but you wouldn't know it
Her bravery and courage cannot be bent
Some blame it on the Irish blood in her veins
I blame it on the blood of Christ that lets her endure all pains
She's a young woman at heart even though the gray dusts her hair
Her skin is ever so soft and ever so fare
She's beautiful within and it shines without
This one woman has helped me in every way imaginable
Hate for her would be unfathomable
Yes she has weakness but she's not afraid
For Christ, her Lord, the price he paid
Her tempers like whirlwind
Who knows when it will hit
Yet, there and then,that time shall fit
Through pain and strife she was there
She never left my side
What an awkward pair
With anyone's life, you can't compare
She's done so much
How can I repay?
Is there anything I can do or say?
Mother, though we maybe apart
You will always have my heart


To my mom,Robin,I love you so much, this poem could never
say it all.

Feelings
Feelings
I look young, hopeful, and content
Inside I feel whole but surrounded by emptiness
Sure I'm bashed and bruised but the hope just won't die
I can't ignore the wisdom God imprinted in my heart
I've lost the only man I've ever loved And still the hope
won't die
What's wrong with me
I miss him so much that at times when I weep alone in my room
I just want to end it all and soon
But then I feel the warm embrace of arms around me and a
whisper in my ear " Shhhhh... don't cry. You won't be alone."
I wipe away the tears and wonder what was contained in them
Human emotion...Foolishness or is it tenderness
Whatever it is, I explain more in those tears than anything
I could possibly say to anyone
But only my Lord,my Jesus, can see what's really in them
I'm not seeking to be understood by anyone
That's one thing I have no hope for
