For Giggles

Poetic Boxing
Donne is done and Frost is gone
Wordsworth had no clue
Dickinson had vague ideas
that Poe only knew.
Shakespeare thought he had them cornered
And that Keats was no true man
Along came Plath to share her horrors
and Longfellow made his stand.
Silently Whitman crept
Up toward Bishop’s head
And all the poets fell aghast
when Hughes announced "We’re Dead."

Weird place to create a poem...

It's amazing what will pop in your head while you're in the shower, lol.

God Needed an Angel
God needed an angel
and he said that it was you,
We dropped to our knees,
we cried and we prayed,
asked if others won’t make do.
God needed an angel,
one of a certain type of mold,
with a back bone of steel,
a will made of iron
And a heart made out of gold.
God needed an angel
and he said it was your time,
Our love kept you here,
But He called you home,
and you were no longer mine.
God needed an angel,
and you answered his plea,
Took up your wings,
Took up your sword,
and for once you flew free.

Wow, long time no poetry

Sorry guys, real life gets in the way occasionally :P

Because
Because a tear cannot hold
The weight of all its pain,
It slips from underneath its home,
to journey with the rain.
Because a tear cannot tell
or think to express desire,
It motions with all its grief
to drown within the mire.
Because a tear can say so much
without actually telling all,
The tear it slips from beneath the lid
to take the pain in fall.

Denial
I sit in denial.
The desecration of peace,
swept under covers
and coated with sweets.
Sounds of the chaos
are covered with song,
The peal of the war hammers
in chorus along
with the screams of the masses
all perfect in pitch,
the final concerto
lies in a ditch.

Silent Surrender
Because the moon no longer speaks to me,
my terror grown once again.
Without my light in the darkness,
I can no longer defend
the faded morals that I once held,
A betrayal like none before,
my moon closed his eyes to me
and speaks no longer more.
Without his voice to calm my fears
and quell the impending fights,
a quiver rises once again
from horrors of the night.
Because my moon no longer speaks to me,
and my efforts are in vain,
I curse the moon, lie down my sword
and surrender to the pain.

One more

Save me From this Tragedy
Save me from this tragedy
of demonized desire,
Walk me to the sunset
to where I claim my prize.
Save me from this wrenching hurt
that masquerades as pain
and follows through with all the threats
that darken in the rain.
Save me from this hollow heart
that has ceased to be full
Empty now it beats aloud
with never ending pull.
Save me from this angry shell
That once I thought was me
That once was full of dreams
But all the dreams did flee.

Bored

Pathetically, utterly, throughly, extremely bored :P

Faded

The light of the time
the light of the night
has all but ceased
with the light of my life
The memories of past
the memories un-made
Have all been replaced
with memories of grave
The horrors of dark
the horrors of life
Are closing on me
And you will not fight
The battles I waged
are battles of mind
But you are not hear
So no solace I find

***

With me

Be with me, cry with me
just for once, bleed with me.
Live for me, die for me
just for once, see with me.
Lie for me, lie with me,
just for once, fly with me.
Hide with me, run with me
Just for once, fight with me.

Wow....procrastination

Oopsie, been a good bit since I put anything up here. Sorry 'bout the delay ya'll. Oh, and to subvert any confusion that may arise, if you read "I Stepped" that is a poem dedicated to my grandfather, I wrote that shortly after he died. Several people have assumed it was to a former flame or *gasp* my husband.

Anywho....lol.....

Silent Prayer
With no voice left to speak,
I make my war silent,
I abhor all the killings,
no need to be violent.
I fight with my peace
to get my message through,
why should I kill
when my message is true?
Death is such a pain,
a heartbreak to all
I preach what I think
send my message to all.
I’ve seen all my friends die.
They fought for this war.
I silently pray
For them to die no more.
No body listens
they don’t hear me yell.
I silently pray
to end all this hell.
But nobody hears
The screams in my head
a victim of violence
I’m already dead.

Doctor of Death
harmless doctors
loss of lives
words of Death
cut like knives.
mothers scream
children cry
They pray for those
about to die.
One way ticket
no way out.
The cure is Death
hear the shouts?
Dead on arrival
or soon will be
Dr. Death
grins down at me.
**********
I stepped
a chill overtook me as I stepped through the door.
Fear racked my body and I prayed for no more.
Death hung in the air, a heavy cloud
I stepped in the door and screamed aloud.
I sank to the floor, covered my face.
I didn’t belong here, so out of place.
I stepped through he door, and asked God for Death.
I asked for my heart to stop in his stead.
I stepped to the coffin to see the man there
To tell him I loved him, to tell him I cared.
Dressed in a suit, eyes closed for sleep
I knew nothing to do but sit down and weep.
He’s in a better place, but I still cried.
I wanted to hear his voice, why did he die?
I stepped out the door, and then I went home.
Unable to sleep, I talked on the phone
The voice on the phone heard all my fears.
I wished he was there to kiss away my tears.
I stepped out the door and into a car.
The trip was a short one, but my mind went far.
Everything I saw was something unknown.
Where did I live? Where was my home?
I stepped through the door and sat in a pew.
Crying was all I managed to do
I heard all the things that he ever did
His love for his wife, love for his kids.
The more I hear, the more I cried.
Why did he have to die?

Happy day after Christmas!

Home
Come kill me now, I wait no more
Take me to Hell to be Death’s whore
Strip my mind of all that I know
Show me what lies below
I made a bet that I cannot pay
The Devil’s bed is where I now lay
I do his bidding and his deeds
He gives me all that I need
I paid my debts with my soul
Hell is the place I now call home
**********
Untitled
Nothing more this quiet night
I smile at the moon
His secrets are all safe with me
And we will meet again soon
My moon, my friend, my confidant
You have heard my every sigh
We know each other inside out
And the coming demise
My dear moon, my soul companion
The demise last not all time
For as the sun shall set
My moon will start to shine
**********
Gone
The call it came, I could not believe
Lord, are you sure this is true?
Too many miracles passed, the end of luck
And our Lord, he took you
Why! I cried out to the air
The answers I already know
The calling came for so long now
And finally, you had to go.
The memories are all jumbled now
But yes, they still remain
Love for us, love for life
Our grief is still the same
I cry in grief, in happiness too
Which, I do not know is stronger
Your body empty, your soul now free
In pain no longer
Letting go, I know is hard
Forgive us if grief stays
We loved you so, this you knew
Now we can only pray.
In Heaven now, do you see us?
And the love we still have for you?
For memories they are all we have
and they will have to do
We love you so, we must let go
This is the hardest part
For I know you are with us
Guardian Angel in our hearts
**********
Nightmare
Something’s not
going on
I close my eyes
it’s all wrong
and I think that I"m dead
Something in
side my mind
it’s all locked
and I can’t find
my rolling head
enter in
to the night
don’t fall asleep
hold on tight
I’m inside
all your dreams
questioning
what they mean
wondering
in my mind
in my thoughts
remembering
battles fought
I slowly fall
**********
Comfort
I shed a silent tear, it falls to the ground
I run for comfort, but no one is around
falling darkness covers my soul
I feel the pain I never thought I’d know
lightening strikes and covers my face
I try to put confusion in it’s place
The cabinets are locked and the shelves are all full
I try to ignore the undying pull
that’s snapping me back and breaking my neck
I tried to hide, but it wasn’t my best
I tried to run, but I got nowhere
I sat down and screamed because I was scared
Arms of comfort surrounded me
coming from bodies I couldn’t see
Words of comfort calmed me down
I dry my eyes and look around
Greeted by the cold, damp ground
**********
Prayer to Him
I stand beside your grave to cry
The fresh packed dirt is dry
the tombstone screams the day you left
a scream arises from my chest
Why did you leave? Where did you go?
You’re up high, but I’m here below
Left alone by your Death
God, please let me be next
There’s nothing left here on this land
hold me in you loving hand
let me see him one more time
you’ve committed the gravest crime
you took a loved one and left him no time
for his family to say goodbye
the tears we shed are all for him
the mood we keep is sad and grim
do we ask too much of you?
You help the many, but forget the few
I give up, I’ll go away
we’ll meet again on my day
love can’t die, but people do
I’ll wait up for you
**********
