Maria

I think people think too much of things
when they wonder about life and what it brings
and they wonder about love and where they can find it
when it's right under their nose, but of course they're blinded
by her, in her glory, in her beauty and grace,
her body, her soul, her heart, her face...
it's too much to take in, it's confusing at times
even writing, it's hard, when she screws up your rhymes...
but in confusion you can find things, so I guess you could say
maybe sometimes it's ok to feel that way.
Either way, all it takes is to go with the flow
Because once it's all over, well, then, babe, you'll know
if it's real, or a dream, or a fallacy of heart,
that I'll stay with you, when the sky falls apart...

Crystal

There was a girl named Crystal
She lived inside her head
Forever she was dismal
Infinitely she bled.
She shunned all those around her
the world, she didnt trust
the girls, with all their drama,
the boys, with all their lust
one love was too many...
one heartbreak was too much...
of course, she knew she shouldn't
but she wanted but his touch
to feel his arms around her
his warmth against her skin
the heart she was without
the soul he held within
It's too late for that now, though,
for long ago he left
he left her broken hearted
he left her heart bereft

he left her suicidal
he left her, in her head
he left her always dismal
he left her
all but dead

Not Yet Named

How could u do this...
I- no, nevermind
I was wrong to think
you could be anything but kind
I'm sorry that- no!
I won't! Not again!
I love you too much
I can't be your friend!
Well, then again...
No no, don't you see!?
You never even
cared about me!
Ugh, forget it
just let me cry
I know I'd regret it.
Good, don't say goodbye...

By ME!

im srry but i didn't really check punctuation and spelling.too bad

"prepare your soldiers!
load your guns!
our wait is up,
our time has come
to clear my name;
wipe our slate clean.
this man has come
to take my queen!
go on, now
let them all know!"
Says the great king
to the snow

"how do you wish
to win my heart
by speaking with
the frozen dark?
it will not help,
you know it well!
what darkness leaves
none can foretell..
confide in me,
my love, my king.
You ask my help
and that I'll bring!
come on, now,
and let me know!"
says the great queen
to the snow

"My beautiful queen,
where can I start?
My throne is cold,
my castle is dark...
but then you walk in
and oh so suddenly
the castle is bright
your light showers me
my heart is awake
my soul is aflame
without you my love
i won't be the same...
don't sit there my dear!
Help soften the blow..."
says the great king
to the snow

"You don't understand
I cannot stay here
it is he my heart wants
it is he i hold dear
i dont wish you leave
but i can't live I lie
I'm sorry, my king
but by me you must die
so go on, my king
speak now or be slaughtered"
says the ex-queen
to the dark water

Who, What, When, Where, Why, How?

By Arie

Who to turn to

when your heart wants to weep?

The beating askew

with the secret you keep

What do you do

when your faith shows untrue?

Wavered by the battle

between darkness and you

When don't you feel

like your mind is amiss?

In old age wisdom

or in newborn bliss?

Where do you look

when your soul lies unfound?

In the City of Hope

or the outskirts of Town?

Why do you live

when your life is a lie?

And which makes more sense-

to suffer or die?

How do you love

when your heart is complete?

The other half being

the one you can't seek

Will She Ever Know?

By Arie

I lend her my jacket

cleaned new yet so old

Will she ever know

that I'm lying and cold?

I tell her I'm looking

at the couple beyond

Will she ever know

that I'm watching her yawn?

She shows me her lover

We meet and handshake

Will she ever know

that my smile is fake?

Now writing this poem

I hope it's not true

Have I found love

in the angel that's you?

Shadow

Slow Eternity

By Arie

By the tree

I stood watching.

Like the moon,

my heart waiting

for the sun,

for its falling,

and its light

slowly fading.

As my hope,

slowly dimming

in the light,

my heart swimming.

Drowning

in the light.

The light

getting shallow.

My heart,

what is left-

dim light

and great shadow.

By myself

I stand watching.
