Yuniksha

Ice in my veins

Ice in my veins and tears that poke
I feel it still from the words that you spoke
Shivering on the frozen ground
My pounding heart, I hear every sound

Hiding away from the reach of your grasp
But you could feel my fear, hear my gasp
No sunlight only darkness and trembling lips
You're evil,the devil, but your clutch no longer grips

I am not afraid for sunlight has found me
And she has warmed me, comforted me
The icicles now water, like liquid silk
Envelopes me in caring, nurtures me with her milk

You can't find me, just like them I am free
But you will die forever, for you can never flee
How time has ticked by from where it once stood still
But I forgive as I grow and love and joy my heart now fills

I wanted to fly

My soul tasted a morsel of life's
Divine majesty
So young I was in the
Heat of some magical
Spirit
Although pain and sorrow
had dogged my heels, an
Unpronounced bliss had
warmed my deepest
Sorrow
As a child I could walk
The streets of Virgina Avenue
But I dare not step over the
Curve for fear of a beating
She was so unkind to me
I was so small and helpless
I needed a mom, a mother
With a loving touch
But my world was filled
With the hateful sounds
Of cursing
Fists pounding on the
Table..
Please don't hurt me
Please, love me just
A little
I was afraid of everything
Of everybody
I could not consentrate
In school
I was falling behind
Surely I would fall
Through the cracks
I so wanted to tell
Someone
Somebody please save
Me from this dark cloud
That has killed my joy
I knelt down in the middle
Of the street and asked God
To take me away
I pleaded to him in the
Tears of a child
But the cold winter
Dragged on and
My starving and
Frightened heart
Closed in upon
Itself
The high school
Principle said, ' The
only thing I can
Tell you son, is that
You won't be living
With these people
Forever
I ran away from home
And the police picked
Me up more than once
I had to face the reality
Of my destroyed childhood
Locked in my room
Locked in the basement
Deprived of anything human
After six years of this god cursing
The Social worker took me away
From foster home to foster home
Abused
Put down
Crushed in all the innocence
Of childhood
Left bedazed in a whirlpool
Of self hate with tears I
Could only submit to
God himself
"Is there a reason I
Asked him?"
Why has all this happened
To me?
I was fifteen when I
Asked him that
Question
When I was eighteen
His spirit came to me
And burned love into
My soul like nothing
Ever written
He lifted his hand
Upon my cheek
And whispered
Words to me
That would make
The angels cry
I've been a puddle
Of joy ever since
Would you like
To know what
He spoke to
Me in spirit?
Well, it's in
My poetry
I whisper
My love to
You!

I do. Many people have been through much
worse but I pray my experiences can encourage others.

She was to young to know

You were highschool sweethearts..
She always came to your house
And sat on your bed, kissed you
As much as you wanted
How many times did you two
Sit on the pier and swish your
Feet in the water and laugh
Like children in the sun?
The sail boats, the smell
Of the salt lake and her
enticing smile melted
Into your heart like
A dream from heaven
Her name was Josey
You watched her as
She sat on her rich
Fathers yacht, her
Innocent smile burning
In your heart
But she was so
Young, and she
Could never know
How much your
Heart burned for
The fire of her
Affection
She slipped away
As many dreams
Do and you pressed
The memory of her
Into some lonely
Pocket of your
Heart
But years passed
And the tears of
Your youth
Sent this longing
Tear before your
Mind
The beauty of her
Smile emerged
From the warm lakes
Of the past
The sunshine of what could
Have been have become
Burning tears upon
Your face.

Josey, you were sunshine in my soul..

Daddy why?

Can you hear me?
Your husband was
Much into himself
He spent his time
In bars and shooting
Pool
He talked about
Women as though
They were all whores
Then he'd go home
To his wife and
Play the same old
Game
Hello honey, I'm
Home!
Really..
What would that
Really mean? His sons and
daughters looked
To him for a morsel
Of attention
But their tender hearts
Were bowed down
By no response
Can I get a hug
Daddy?
No, I'm busy right now
"Daddy, I gotta A on
My test paper today"
Not a word
The wife is mixing
The dinner
The dog is not sure
If he'll be kicked
There is an anger
In the house that
Frightens the hearts
Of children
Children who desire
To sleep in the strong
Arm of his protection
But he left them
With the monsters of
Their imagination
"Daddy who are you
Their quivering hearts
Question"
"Daddy please! I
Need you for
My happiness!"
Daddy, can I stand
On your shoes and
Will you dance
With me?
"Daddy, don't hurt
Mommy!
Daddy please stop!
Daddy!

SCHOOL DAYS

WE WERE ALL THERE AT ONE TIME! ALWAYS READY FOR SOME GOOD CHATTER; TALKING ABOUT SUBJECTS THAT WOULD NEVER MATTER!THE ATMOSPHERE ON THE BUS SOUNDED LIKE A HEN ROOST! I COULDNT WAIT FOR THE RIDE TO END; SO I COULD GIVE MY EARS, A GOOD BOOST! I REALLY LOVED MY YEARS IN SCHOOL; AND ALWAYS LIVED BY THE GOLDEN RULE! YOUR SCHOOL DAYS ARE REALLY THE BEST YEARS OF ANYONE"S LIFE; WHERE EACH DAY WAS FULL OF CAREFREE TIMES; AND NEVER AN OUNCE OF STRIFE!

About this poem:
I wish I could always be with you.
Wrapping my arms around you
I constantly think about you.
I miss you and I love you!
Good Morning my Sweetheart
You are my life,
You are my everything
A day without you
Is like a day without sunshine
I love you! Good Morning
You are one special girl
You can take my breath away
With you, I can look forward to tomorrow
I forget all the sadness and sorrow.
I love you, dear. Good Morning
A morning text does not simply mean,
“Good morning.”
Rather, it comes with the silent loving
message,
“I think of you when I wake up.”
Good Morning my dear.

THE CAT LIED

THE CAT DID NOT SIT ON THE MAT,

INFACT THE MAT THE FAT CAT SAT ON

WAS INFACT A RAT AS FLAT AS A TACK.

“OHHH”, SPAT THE FAT CAT TO A BAT WHO WAS HANGING ON A RACK,

“WHAT’S THAT, WHAT’S THAT” SHREIKED THE BAT TO THE FAT CAT,

“THE MAT …. THE MAT” SPAT THE CAT

“IT’S A DEAD RAT, A FLAT FAT RAT AT THAT”.

SPAT…. SPAT…. THE CAT.

“IS THAT A FACT, IMAGINE THAT” SAID THE BAT

TO THE FAT CAT AS HE LEFT HIS RACK TO INSPECT THE MAT MADE OUT OF RAT.

PAT PAT DID THE BAT TO THE MAT MADE OUT OF RAT, A BIG FAT RAT AT THAT.

THEN FLEW BACK TO HIS RACK,

HAVING A CACK , AT THE CAT WHO WAS STILL HAVING A HEART

ATTACK OVER THE FAT MAT MADE OUT OF RAT

SPAT …. SPAT …. WENT THE CAT

CACK …. CACK …. WENT THE BAT.

Because Of You

You took me to a paddock, and the darkness swelled,
you told me not to panic, and then you showed me hell.
I wanted to run away but, where could I go?
Felt like time never ends, I felt my fear grow.

My mum, made me, cry, and cry.
My dad, he'd fight, he'd fight, because of that night.

You think you gave the child I was some love,
but it wasn't!
You messed me up and so I locked myself,
in my own prison!
I was an outcast when I went to school,
because of you!
Crazy, smoking dope, alcohol, short fuse,
because of you!

Would I have turned out different, no stolen innocence?
If you never took me away, would I be a bit more sane?
Fare better in a crowd, could I stand being held?
Would this broken shell have grown up to take on the world?

I can't let go of it, let go of the past,
Did ya know the damage you did, was going to last.
I take tablets now, so I don't go psycho,
It's why I'm so run down, I just can't let go.

About this poem:
I haven't put any of my lyrics in verses, bridges, etc. because I didn't think people would really want to read the same part over and over again. Each of my lyrics I post is basically the two verses; the bridge/break, pre-chorus, post-chorus and the chorus each once.

I see I've turned into a bit of a serial poster so I'll give it a rest after this one.

Art of war VII

Many life tales have i written.
All of wisdom and adventure.
I tell you now of a place,
Of my adolescence.

Barren and abandoned.
Blasted landscape,
Crumbled buildings.
Stunk of unnatural death.

Time did not exist there.
No one dared set foot in that place.
Crafted means to kill populace,
long ago.

It was perfect.
No life, no authority.
Where vigilance ruled.
Where the spirit of man,
Was observed in full.

It claimed my life.
Damned to that hell,
Though we were wiped clean,
from the earth.

SHIRLEY MY LOVE

you were the girl that I wanted so much; I'm so sorry that after the ninth grade; that we lost touch! I didn't know you loved me until I turned around on the steps of j.h.s. 109 and saw you crying as you said goodbye; and when I returned home; I had many tears in my eyes; because I loved you; but I never told you! we were so very young at the time; and I heard you went with danny r. who was real slime! I'm on my way to the top of the music charts; and I hope you will hear my songs; and we can separate the rights from the wrongs! I"ll always love you Shirley!
