Why??
Why I always keep trying every single time avoiding the bitterness of giving up on love. No one has to pay for the previous person who hurt you
What I've Done
I wrote this one 4-19-2011 just by basically finger picking at some chords on the guitar, then I started writing and rearranging the sound.
US
I find that life can f*ck you, leave you all alone,I never asked to be here, I never knew I would, I never changed my world, you came into my life miraculously as one that I could see, I fell in love, instantly ,,, and its always been,,, just you and
Strange Life
Whats the meaning of a poem? Something noone can understand? A crypic message lost in meaning, for those that need it most, so we write words that only we can see, decipher it how it should be? I wonder why? Its not shakespere, its just how it is,,

Happy New 2022 to us!
HOMELESS ORPHAN
Tomorrow ever full of hope can never be for it has no place on earth yet dwells somewhere ‘twixt dream and expectation It has no being to call its own
A Bit of Me
I use to watch a reality show and singles meeting singles but it was people from the UK. I love accents and I find them attractive. The girls on the show who meet the new guys and if they liked them or felt they were a match or had things in common they would use the phrase "He's a bit of me"
SIDEWARDS
I once kept a crab as a pet but had not yet chosen its name I wished to teach it how to speak or at least emit a small squeak So finally we got to chat! I questioned it: “do you in fact, move yourself sideways or forwards?” Quoth it,

Just Imagine
Imagine we are just a thought? What would you be?, A millonaire?, A captain at sea?,,, Anything you wanted to be, to fly to the stars?, to land on the moon?, or to be with someone you love? too soon?,,life is not wrong, or its not right
Just a thought
As I listen to the rain drops,,falling on my roof, lost in contemplation, not being aloof, just thinking about existance, how they reflect it all,, they are here, they fall, they cease to exist,,, just like us all,, a moment in time, its all that we

Malicious Minds
Poem about accusations and superstitions and leaving ancient worries behind. Seeking solitude in nature always refreshes my inner sense of peace and tranquility. Much of modern society is conducted under the auspices of surveillance and security. Thanks to all the great poets, past and present, that have made CS a haven for many to explore and share a common love for poetry and free expression of thoughts that generate so much passion and feeling. Thanks to all my fellow poets for helping me to reach my '600' poem milestone. I started writing poetry on this site ten years ago after a particularly painful breakup and I have never looked back.

The Magic Man
This one I wrote 12-20-2021. I'm hoping this to be a good sign, for I really haven't written anything "wild, metal, hard and heavy" in quite a while! Who knows, I may play on stage once more? lol For the sad song lovers, fear not. I have many of those I'll sling on here next year (with some metal, too)! Let your hair down and enjoy the holidays! Merry Christmas!!

DO YOU WONDER?
The wonderment of life is lost in the trouble and the strife, dont take it all as true, your world is only you, you can give or you can take, you can be real or you can be fake, you can play this game that we adhere, theres nothing lost, nothing to
