Daddy's Lessons
by Judy


He taught me what is right.
He taught me what is wrong.
He taught me to be so gentle...yet to be so strong.

He taught me to never deny...
but to know and except He taught me to always forgive
and learn to forget. He taught me to always be truthful...never to lie.
He taught me to always be happy.
For sadness, will only make me cry.

He taught me to cherish each moment
...each moment of time.
For all those that are cherished,
those moments are all truly of mine.

He taught me earn all that I have
...not to expect.
He taught me to always give and always respect.

He taught me to give with my heart.
He taught me to give with my soul.
...The gift of love within my heart, is a gift of
eternity. ....I will never be alone.

--------------------
My Wish....

Wishing you were here.
Holding me tight.
Loving me so.
Forever...even for just one night.

Hold me in your arms.
And never let go.
Look into my eyes.
My love for you will show.

Thinking of you.
Wishing for your touch.
Wanting to be with you.
Wanting you so much.

Kissing you ever so gently.
Showing you I care.
Making passionate love together.
Moments together...moments we share.

My feelings for you.
Are deep within my heart.
Feelings of love...I wish, I hope...will never part.

Lonely Heart
by Tenesha


Hold me tight with your arms embrace
and kiss me as you did before, and as
our lips touch it burn with the firey
passion of our love, as we come togather
and our hearts combine as one your lips so
soft and tender it alone is an inspiration
to both both my heat and soul.

I long to hold you in my arms and
caress your lips with mine, so tender
and true i long for the chance to hold you,
i miss the feeling of having you in my arms
i long to feel your sweet embrace and the cresent
glow of our love so radient and strong for i know
that in your arms i could never go wrong.

The Darkness Within
by Saberius


Walking this earth like I’ve done before
Still thinking why am I always sore
Why the emptiness inside of me
Happy and loved that’s what I wanted to be
Instead I’m hated and feared
And after all this time I still think it’s weird
Filled with anger and hate from my past
I’m becoming what they feared at last

Blood boiling in my veins
The everlasting pain inside my brain
Pushing me over the edge
Driving me insane

Jumped and started running from myself
Running cause I refuse to believe
Running from what I’m going to be
So I took the painful decision to leave
Hiding from myself and what I’ve become
How could I be so foolish and dumb
Unleashing the real me I can’t control
Fueled by a dark unholy soul

Isolated and confused
Living in painful solitude
Cursed to always be alone
Nowhere to call my home

As I struggle to regain control
I’m forced to merge my two souls
I become something never seen before
I look human but am so much more
Going back to the world that had abandon me
Finding that one person, my reason to be
To share my love and pain with for eternity
She gives me back my lost dignity

Reborn and renewed
I search the world for you
I won’t give up, I won’t give in
This time I will win

My search draws to a close
As I find a world destroyed
Returning to me are emptiness and loneliness
As I wonder what could have done this
It becomes painfully obvious who it was
Self-hatred and agony flare intensely
My power increases immensely
I once again lose myself in my rage

Just one thing left to do
One action left to take
To release me from my mistake

Those Words

Waking up everyday
Hoping you come take this pain away
Still having these cold and lonely nights
Life without you is a horrible fright
My dreams are always the same
Finding you to take the emptiness away

The hole in my soul, is driving me mad
Making me do things I can’t regret
Sometimes I feel the need to cry
But then something deep inside
Forces me to fight these fears
And burns away all the falling tears

My love for you makes me run
To a place away from the fears
The search for you is so very hard
But heaven and hell can’t keep us apart
Wandering through those abandon streets
Waiting for the time we meet

And when I find you
And everything makes sense again
I’m forced to leave
As I turn and walk away
Wondering will I ever see you again
You say: don’t go, please stay

Those words take all my fears away
Giving me the strength to live another day
With you by my side through this life
I’ll happily make you my wife

-----------------------
Blackhole in my Soul

Empty and alone
That’s all I know
Nothing inside telling me what I am
Nothing showing me what I could be
Just a void in an endless life
A blank page in a written book
In that void exists a hole
Sucking up all I know
Always leaving me empty and alone
Never leaving me stuff to know
Not letting me live for a goal
Not letting me get to know my soul
Always unknowing who I am
Never becoming what I could be

---------------------
All I Need

You’re all I need
You’re the air I breathe
You’re my heart that beats
You’re the food I eat
You’re my driving force
You’re the reason for my life
Without you I can’t be
Without you I can’t feel
Without you I can’t bleed
You make my life worth living

--------------------------
Insanity

Unloved and unseen by the world
All I am is alone
With no one to care for
My heart turns to stone
No a tear or word
Can explain how I feel
All I really know is
My heart is impenetrable like steel
With nothing to feel
But loneliness and pain
It’s no wonder
That a man will go insane

----------------------------
Desire

Yearning to be loved
Yearning to feel
It’s all pointless
If it isn’t real
Without feelings
You’ve got nothing to share
Without emotions
This path leads nowhere
Unable to feel
Unable to care
Why do I fight
If no one is there
Why should I care
I’ve got nothing to lose
Forced to take a path
Because I couldn’t choose.

Strain
by Amber


It seems that the urgency of it all
Will never cease
This deteriorating relationship
Breeds regret...
Waning, empty initiation
That could never define who we are
Why is suppression such a wonder?
In the midst of fading angst,
Unchartered impulse is found
And defined
Beliefs about progress
Always prove to be lies...
Always lies
When milky, agressive deviance
Takes my heart,
Puts it in a blender:
Strain

First Love
by Courtnee Chapman


There comes a time when people
fall in love for the first time,
That is what we call the first love,
They think that person will be
there for the rest of their life,
But then they realize that
they are not the one they want,
They begin to grow apart from each other,
Sometimes they don’t eat
and they even cry themselves to sleep,
Then they call the quits one the relationship,
They tell themselves that it’s time to move on,
Sometimes they are not for sure
that they should have left their first love,
But then they remember that
there are more fish in the sea,
They always hold a spot in their
heart for their first love,
And later on in life if the
two of them come back together,
Then they know that they were meant to be,
They figure out that they were supposed to be with their first love.

Immortal Intimacy by Elizabeth Emerson

I drew the sunset in your ancient eyes
Climbed into your world of desert lands
Poured my bitter water into your grail
and heard the whispered echoes of deliverance.
Your faint heart carried the highest drumbeat,
I rested on its final sound.
I needed only a smile from you
and I laid down my stone.

The Light is Off by Jacob Paavilainen

Here iam in bed, alone in the darkness ,
were there is no way out,
i wish i could find awayout,
the only way out is to turn on the lights,
why doesn't anyone turn on the lights,
so here iam alone in the darkness,
and again iam in my bed,
then came the light it was so bright,
it led me out of the darkness,
it led me to safety,
the light is the way to go,
and then the darkness is gone,
and for once iam not alone,
i will never go back to those days,
those days of sadness, and crying,
those days of hurting, and lonlyness,
iam in the light for eternity,
for it will last forever.

SELF MADE MAN by David Doc Byron

Now I must lie in my own bed,
that I made with hands now numb with dread,
for now that my words have cut you to the bone,
I know I must learn to sleep alone.

The Moon by Rosa

the moon is forlorn
almost lost in the sky,
watching the sun collapse
in the spectacle up high,
the continued cycle,
day rages toward night,
waiting for centerstage
the black brings its light,
empty of color
yet casting its spell,
bestowing its dreams
from love's infinite well
