love is like a firey tourch being lit your soul,
its something that you want but yet you cant control,
you think you know its path, every move, and every step it makes,
but soon you come to realize most of your thoughts are mistakes,
it starts to take you, hold you and consume you,
till you cant think of a counter move that you could do,
you can hear it in each word, each breath, each kiss
all you can think wish, dream and think about is this,
will love leave if so where will it go?
if it does will I turn and say so?
do I like it here do I hate it here
is it something I like or something I fear?
if it leaves will my heart ache and break?
or will i find lt a test, a fake?!
I dont know what will happen to this love,
I just know that you were sent from above! Mail Elizabeth
have u ever been so in love,
you cant walk right...
or when the one your in love with says your name,
it melts your heart?
and when they smile,
you just want to keep them smiling forever.
have u ever been so in love that everytime they say bye,
you feel like your gonna cry
and when they hold you close and you listen to their heart beat,
you just dont ever want to leave?
have you ever been so in love,
that when you kiss the one you love,
you feel like your whole body is going to collapse
and you feel like your the luckiest person alive?
have you ever been so in love,
that when the person you love says they want to leave u,
you just try to hold it all inside,
but you can't you just break down and cry...
have you ever been so confused,
that when your not in a relationship
u think that no one will ever love you again?
but then you realize that you will get over that person,
and your life will go on.
but you'll always remember what they gave you...love Email Stephanie
A child's love, A childs life, Our Lord above blessed a wife;
To hurt a child you have to fear,
For little one's he holds so dear;
All hopes and dreams
they are gone,
When some one does a child so wrong;
Love and faith they are
denied, When some one hurts a child in side; Child abusing is so confusing,
For in life and death you both are loosing;
So please be sure to hope and pray,
That a child will not have to fear today AngelWings
Oft I search night’s theurgy,
From eye to eye gleams urging me
To find one special firefly,
And muse with quiet starlight.
Enchantment follows fluttering,
Hypnotic weave so utterly
Whisks reveries past splendour,
Where dreams await assembler.
E’er amazed with flight paths took:
When think turn left ‘tis righteous hook
To pause within eyelashes’ wink,
And gaze back at my hapless blink.
His course, it seems, meanders –
No hurried course for this cantor –
He mingles with odd molecules
And cares not ‘bout God’s follicles.
Alas, too soon finds dawn’s slow stir,
One by one nightlights saunter
Away with moony wizardry,
But not before you visit me.
Spend all my days looking
it seems helpless
Spend all my life searching
it seems hopeless
Always wanting more
feel all alone
Always wishing for
someone to come along
But who would want me
i'm just nobody
No one will ask for me
they're with somebody
Searching and searching
feels like it's never ending
Looking and looking
can't see a dame thing
Dreaming about the day when
he will take my hand
Waiting for that moment then
maybe it will end
Spent all my days, all my life
now it's finally over
You came and into my life
you're finally here
Now lonely days are gone
don't have to walk alone
Now it's finally done
all because you came along Email SYL
A frozen lake that has no name
The scenery all looks the same
A tree touched softly by the snow
That died so many years ago
A face thats burried in my mind
I thought that I had left behind
Brings me to this place once more
And chills me like it did before
A place where nothing ever grows
And everything thats green has froze
A sky thats always dark and grey
No fires are there to light my way
My eyes have become just like glass
My feet are frozen in the past
You left me with nowhere to go
I lie here frozen in the snow
I fell from the sky into unseen arms
Unseen , strong and holding on forever
A voice from an unseen face telling me that I'm safe.
Safe in unseen arms.
I feel the heartbeat in an unseen chest, heartbeat merging with mine.
My soul fills with love and gratitude to my unseen savior
I was the fallen one, not forgotten.
Unseen ears heard my cry.
I safely touch the ground.
The unseen arms have gone, but not far I know
I know I am not alone. My unseen friend a breath away.
The Time by Deborah Dakotah Laird
The time came and went for me to do the deed.
I spent years waiting for this day.The day came.
The deed went undone.
I ripped the calendar off the wall and flung it across the room.
I screamed and knocked the flowers off the table.It's time!I screamed.
The deed was undone.I was a coward.
Coward! I screamed.
I went to the window and saw the rain.
I prayed the rain would wash me away.
The time.It burned deep into my soul.
The tears came down my face.
I stepped outside.My tears merged with the rain.
I looked upward.
Please take away the pain.
The deed is undone. God help me.
The time would not come again.
I could have saved a stranger
but for the love of
a friend. It was forever undone.
I let the Time slip through my fingers.
And a soul has crossed over.
An innocent soul passed in Time. Dakotah's webpageEmail Dakotah
Catness by Deborah Daktoah Laird
Like a cat she owns the night.
Exploring,alert, missing nothing that moves or breathes.
Her green eyes shine with exitement as she spies the shadow.
She is filled with dreams, schemes and lust for adventure.
Playing with the darkness ,
flirting with the unknown,
She desires the chase , the capture,
the game.
Her attitude is pure catitude,
and watch out for her claws.
Sleek, lean, staring,stalking ...
twitching..pouncing on the prey.
The great hunter , searching...
seeing what we can not.
Oh, the catness is within her soul,
feline ,free and wild .
Then the daylight comes and off
to sleep, deep, long hours, she's not to be
disturbed, she is the queen and
in her catness , she rules.
Vision by Deborah Daktoah Laird
Ripping the visions from the sky
Holding them in trembling hands
His dark eyes reflecting the awe and the agony
His voice thunders explosively. "It ends!"
The visions , imprisoned, crumble into tiny pieces of glitter
and then into dust inside his weary hands
A hot, savage wind blows the fragments away and into non-existence
"It is finished."
A red rain begins to fall from angry skies
Lightning strikes seven times, each one closer to him
He stands still, unflinching,
as though a statue
In time the sky stops it's violent rage
He takes a deep breath and lets
it out slowly and walks away
He does not look back and walks
into the distance
Until he is but a memory.
Jack by Deborah Daktoah Laird
Filled up with yourself to the
sky and beyond
You anger and amaze me to no end !
Jack, who are you in this world ?
What are you?
Certainly not the center, but self- centered
Get off it, please,
you are one big joke but I'm not laughing.
Do your eyes and ears
perceive life is going on
without and in spite of you?
God's gift to the Earth is not you , poor fool
What is your life,Jack?
Are you living in a fantasy?
Illusions, illusions .
Who's the fool in the mirror?What do you see?
What happened in the making of you?
Framed with the oddest idiosities
and Jack-saw puzzles
Come here and let me shake you
to some humanity
No one knows you like I do.
God ,how I know you!God, how I love you.
Damn you until the ends of all
universes but I love you
A day has gone
A week has passed
A month will soon be over
I can’t last too much longer
I am getting weaker
My heart is missing your love
My body is missing your touches
My mouth is missing your kisses
My ego is missing your compliments
My conscious is tearing me to pieces
I need to ask you something
I need to ask for...
Forgiveness.
Distant Lovers
You were a stranger to me
A mystery, an enigma
You slowly captured my heart
You touched my heart and soul.
I was no longer alone, afraid,
I no longer felt I needed to protect myself
I surrendered to your loving charms
I could no longer keep my feelings inside.
We are miles apart, yet, I feel your closeness
You are right here in my heart
In my heart is where you will stay
Forever and a day.
Unspoken
Never saying what we really mean
Never letting the other one know the truth
Never wanting to be found out
Trying hard to keep our feelings inside
Trying hard to deceive, to deny, to dismiss
Isn’t this a form of lying?
Words that need so much to be heard
Words that need so much to be spoken
Never knowing how the one hearing will react
Kindly, uncaring, not feeling the same way
Do we take the chance, to win or lose?
I think we will leave the words...
YOUR FIRE BURNS DEEP INTO ME
ALWAYS EXSPECTING NEVER KNOWING WHAT I'LL SEE
I ACHE FOR YOUR TOUCH,MOAN TO YOUR GROAN
IF FOR ONE MOMENT WE WHERE ALONE
YOU ARE LIQUID FUEL FOR MY DREAMS
WANTING YOU TO STIFFLE MY SCREAMS
KNOWING THAT WOULD BE ONLY THE BEGINING
OF A COLLABORATION WITHOUT INNING
I JUST WANT YOU THAT MUCH
TO FEEL YOUR TENDER TOUCH
A sunlit day, a moonlit night.
A man in black will break your heart.
A maiden in gold will make it right.
Devils hair, unicorns blood.
And just a pinch of spice.
Music and rhyme, a melody.
Will make evil from the nice
Strawberry Sunsets
Strawberry sunsets, a firey blast.
A sight that brings grand memories back.
The purple clouds, and rays of gold.
Show that day begins to fold.
A blueberry moon kisses the night.
A crescent guarding heaven, a beautiful sight.
Rays of hope illuminate the dark.
Moon light pours into your heart.
Little raisin stars dot across the sky.
A fruit salad world slowly passes by.
A bitter sweet world, changing everyday.
Just goes to show you, nothing stays the same.
An apple sunrise takes over the morn.
A night has died, a new day is born.
The sweet day will come to an end.
And strawberry sunsets will come again.
This is for the greatest person
I have ever known
Being away from you
I am feeling so alone
With you I am so happy
You keep my heart content
But i had to keep my distance
So that i did
That is when i found my heart
and how i feel for you
I try so hard to deny this feeling
And i dont know what to do
I said that i would never again
Let someone take my heart
And now i'm sitting here wanting you
And hating that we are apart
Everyday you are in my thoughts
Every night you are in my dreams
I can't believe what's happening
Is this really what it seems?
I know your only wanting
To be the best of friends
But i am asking you sincerely
If it is your rule you'll bend
To take a chance to know me
To let me share it all
And maybe one day very soon
For me one day you'll fall
Our friendship we have now
Is something that i'd miss
But maybe once we let go
We will find eternal Happiness!
Alone with my sorrows
Helplessly awaiting my destiny
Listening fot the cure
To my broken heart
And crushed spirit
Wondering if ever
There will be
A medication to mend my pain
Looking yonder I see
A picture depicting my destiny
Unknown to the world
Held up and secured
Starry eyes peirce my mind
Setting the stage
And writing the script
I am the star
of my own life
Casting the potentials
Choosing a few, but
One stands out
Yet he didn't audition
Sanity verses pride verses wanting
Escaping my problems
I don pajamas
and fluffy slippers
And snuggle into my warm bed
Only to awake to a world
Reminding me of what I can't have
The Rolling Of Eyes: We build tangled webs Woven thick To
bring in the lies but not the truth. So you roll your eyes... But that
isn't a surprise. You won't face the truth. Never face the truth. You
make them feel small... to make yourself feel big. You spread rumors when
you're mad you cry when you feel weak. So you roll your eyes... But
that isn't a surprise. You won't face the truth. Never face the
truth. And then you say 'Just another bad day' and you apologize for
the millionth time But we roll our eyes But that isn't a
surprise. Because we won't face the truth. Never face the truth.
