Little Poet

The little poet writes
nicely of his nice wife,
his nice kids,
his nice university,
the nice dead mice
he found on his nice
snowy road,
and his nice guilt for
sleeping with his
nice student.

but some are tornadoes
of words, whirling,
scattering books out
of the clouds-
Blake the tornado
Whitman the tornado
Neruda the Latin tornado…
Words fly out of their mouths
like spittle or kisses;
their passions and anger
fill the unruly world
and then comes the critic,
creeping along with his
two pairs of pants,
and his reservations
(most of them for lunch)
and his nice distinction,
semantic notions,
and his box full
of paper stars.
He pins one on the forehead
of the nicest poet
because no tornado
stands still long enough.

Its over

Someone so familiar just to be around,
But the silence between us deafens every other sound.

Courteous pleasantries so obviously fake,
Were dancing around each other performing a silent swan lake.

I dont know anymore if it was me or you,
Both locked in our own solitary confinement not knowing what to do.

A lighthouse on a desolate rocky shore,
The thunder of crashing waves, sea and rain batter its ancient wooden door

A beacon in the darkness perched high above the spiral stairs,
Illuminating the shadows and your angry stares.

The light forever turning like hands upon a clock,
I try to find the real you in the shadows of the lighthouse rock.

I remember all the happy moments and the light behind your eyes,
Now Im living in their shadows exchanging pleasantries and lies.

I want to ask the question to know what went wrong,
Too scared to listen to the answer to hear the fat ladies song.

So we sit in silence two grandmasters studying the board,
We both pretend nothings wrong but know that were both bored.

Bored with each other, bored with where we are,
I need to say its over but your smile is like the morning star.

It could be just for a moment or it could last all day,
Like an addict I take what Im given and forget what I wanted to say.

hugs

rivers of the souls they fly
notes in song passing by
golden threads of time
marking stitches in a rhyme
weave which we believe
without the boundaries we conceive

hold me like the moon
gone round and round the sun

I FORGIVE YOU

I FORGIVE YOU

You've taken up so much time in my mind
what you did to me is now not worth taking into my day
I have forgiven you so I could save my body
from killing itself in the pickle jar of this old hate

I bare the scars from the inside to the outside
I carry those around and I have turned them into my own magic
and I've turned my fried emotions into saying this to you
that's why

I forgive you I forgive your forceful fight
I forgive you and you can stay out of my life
I have forgiven you and now you got no hold on me
yeah I forgive you for the devil in you has no hold no more

it took a while to see
that love you showed was trapping me
in your self hate misery
you played on all my kindness see

I listen to the vibes now good or bad it is so simple
when the body hears it so it is so easy to work out
and you always tried to make me feel like it was all my fault
but I found a way out and that's why

I forgive you I forgive your forceful fight
I forgive you and you can stay out of my life
I have forgiven you and now you got no hold on me
yeah I forgive you for the devil in you has no hold no more

and the devil in you doesn't deserve any anger from me
yeah the devil in you doesn't deserve any negativity
the devil in you better hear I am the Pheonix in this rising
ah hah the devil better know this is why

I forgive you I forgive your forceful fight
I forgive you and you can stay out of my life
I have forgiven you and now you got no hold on me
yeah I forgive you for the devil in you has no hold no more
the devil in you has no hold no more no more
know the devil in you ain't got a hope in hell
I forgive you and now my body is free
I have forgiven you
I forgive you

Raynebow

I woke up this morning and my heart felt empty, it had no spring or summer only winter, the cold reached down inside of me touching the parts that once had sunshine and warmth, grey skies filled every image of you I once held so close , My mind and my heart filled with nothing but sorrow, pain, regret and the want for forgiveness, where once lay a Raynebow now there was darkness, a darkness created by stupidity, envy, jealousy and personal need, I have nothing left inside of me except a small corner where I huddle under a once clear sky that now holds darkness and a small fire called hope that is fuelled by the belief that my raynebow will return to me and once again brighten up my heart.

HOLD ALL OF YOUR HURT INSIDE
AND NO ONE WANTS SEE THAT
YOUR NOT GOING TO DIE
CAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOU CRY

SO BE A MAN
NO HAND IN HAND
DONT YOU WANT TO BE A MAN

COME ON NOW ILL SHOW YOU HOW
THE PAIN WE LEARN TO KEEP INSIDE
SO DONT BE SAD ITS NOT SO BAD
AND I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAD

MOM WILL BE FINE
JUST WAIT AND SEE
DONT YOU WANT TO BE LIKE ME

NOW SO WHAT
YOUR GROWN UP
GO ON NOW SON
AND GET A JOB
SO YOU CAN WORK
AND BUILD A LIFE UPON YOUR WORD

DAD SHOWED YOU ONCE HOW TO DEAL
BUT NO ONE THINKS THAT MEN CAN FEEL

WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD ARE YOU NOT DEALING
CAUSE DONT YOU KNOW MEN DONT HAVE FEELINGS

SO GROW UP NOW AND DONT BE SAD
THESE TOOLS YOU USE TO BE A MAN
SO LISTEN NOW DO GO INSANE
CAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO FEEL YOUR PAIN

SO FORGIVE ME PLEASE IF YOU CANT SEE
THIS MAN THAT'S HERE REALLY DOSE FEEL!!!

Naive girl

There was a girl with a heart of gold
But she was so naive
One day her heart was stolen
By a careless foolish thief

He enchanted her with sweet talk
With flowers and a gift
She thought he truly wanted her
But did not get his drift

He promised to love her
And filled her head with lies
Cause all he ever wanted
Was the thing between her thighs

When he got what he wanted
And he was gone for good
The girl's heart turned to solid rock
She was in an awful mood

She locked herself inside her home
Her heart was barely beating
She looked so thin as if she starved
Since she was barely eating

Her eyes got red from crying
To him her mind was chained
Her skin got very pale as if
Her body's blood was drained

One day that man was searching her
He'd wore a golden ring
He got married with another girl
But wouldn't tell a thing

He tried to approach her once again
By telling he still loved her
She saw the ring and told him
She would not become his lover

He explained her why he got wed
But in his mind he'd always hold
The precious treasure she possessed
Her heart of shining gold

She forgave him but she told him
That he had to let her go
She was no longer his to be
She lied to him although
She knew damn well her heart would always
Belong to that one guy
She loved so much with body and soul
But he would make her cry...

I am You

Can you not see that this is me.
I am the same as you. I see with your eyes.
I hear with your ears and I speak with your mouth.
Your profess that I am different. You feel powerful.
You see me as weak, insignificant, almost invisible.
Can you not see that you are me.
I feel power, I see beyond the black.
I understand when you feel lost and left alone.
When you think no one understands, I understand.
I am your shadow, you are attached to me.
I am your inner voice. You are me and I am you.
Feel peace, embrace us, love us...we are one.

I loved you enough to let you go....

You would of gave me everything you had..

You would of given me all your breath even if it was your last..

You put your heart in the palm of my hand...

But i just couldn't get you to understand..

You had your life, I had mine too!

We became the life, We had different views..

It was time for us to walk away...

Now im left to think, And so many things to say..

I wanna say I'm sorry..

I know it hurts..

I know that i should of put you first..

I put your heart, Up on the shelf..

While i was trying to find myself..

I know that things will never change..

I know that Im the one to blame...

But there's one last thing, I wanted you to know..

I loved you enough to let you go...

There was a time we had it all...

So deep in love, But destined to fall...

The longer you were gone, The more things changed...

And i knew we would never be the same...

I couldn't answer when you called...

I felt so big, you felt so small...

My life was falling into plan...

It seemed at the time i was pushing you away..

I wanna say im sorry...

I know it hurts...

I know that i should of put you first...

I put your Heart up on the shelf...

While i was trying to find myself..

I know that things will never change..

I know that im the one to blame...

But there's on last thing , I wanted you to know...

I loved you enough to let you go...
