Why can’t I see you any longer? And I say – The answer is simply on the floor your flesh burned into pieces Thou shall not know by Lee Bosarge Thou Shall not know What Love has to hold I never knew Until there was you The love one can have The love one can feel The broken heart The tears The drugs Only to numb the pain The pain you caused The pain you said I caused I don’t know why But I still love you I don’t know why You still love me People tell me Move on Go on You’re not worth it I don’t listen And I know you don’t either You love me I love you Its how it should be You and me Forever in a land Of our own misery Bittersweet Two hearts joined as one Bittersweet The pain and love One must feel In a love such as ours It was forbidden We ate from the forbidden tree It was never meant to be But we still try ….why? Love-Line by Jeremy Lowe the first time I see her even cities of heaven are dulled by her radiance, Smooth skin, silky, soft to the touch, her eyes the pools of eternity, trapping my loving gaze, my eyes meet hers and time stands still, 3 weeks go by, I build the impossible courage, and approach the angel infront of a field of tulips, the flowers decorated in liquid gems marking the occation, I ask her to be mine and she whispers, "Yes..." 1 month goes by we spend hours together gazing into each other's eyes, to the outsider it is just a childish affection, but to us the magic is over whelming, over this time I feel the one true emotion, Into her sweet delicate ear I whisper, "I LOVE YOU..." 5 months go by, we spend days together, watching movies together, having dinners together, summer vacation has come upon us, we are ripped apart and are separated for one month, on our last day together, we kiss goodbye and whisper "I'll miss you" the sixth month passes our two lost souls are re-united, but it feels as we are still miles apart, I try to kiss her soft silky lips, but she turns away, I try to talk to her and she makes excuses, The inevitable is coming, but I deny it, In our last meeting she whispers, "I don't love you anymore..." my eyes no longer have the strength to met hers, tears begin to fill my eyes, but I fight them holding onto the last string of hope...my dignity, crushed, betrayed, alone, I lose my battle and my hope as she walks away, between my tears I whisper, "I still love you..." Email Jeremy As I lay.. by Paul Bryant As I lay back the sea gently laps at my feet, Mountains surround me, As the sun beats down its fiery heat, As the sand warms my soft skin, The birds fly over me, Its so hot now, I need to go in, The distance holds no tranquility whilst cars drive by, But nothing can harm me, Im in relaxation, I need not hide, As I hear children play laugh and cry, No clouds can be seen in the sunkissed sky, It all seems so peaceful, then I open my eyes, Where am I now?, you may ask, As the floor beneath me lets out a crack, I try to overcome this tricky task, But these damp walls keep fighting back, Its cold and its wet as I lay in my chair, My eyes are open now, I wish I was there. Email PauL Is any one... by Arnold Kyaw Is any one in this world a true friend do they stick with u till the very end does she love u when ur feelin bad does she comfert u cuz of ur dad welll i no i have one her name is rachel she is my true friend and she is soo special she'll talk to me when im all alone sometimes she'll call me on the phone she'll hug me when im feeling down shes my true friend that i finally found she'll stick by me when times get rough i no that i cant get enough enought of her warm glowing wonder and i am so glad i finally found her Email Arnold ~Rotten~ by Bryan Jackson Until the heart beats cease, and i finally rest in peace. No longer will i feel the hurt, 6 feet into the dirt. Though the day could not come faster, No longer afraid, without a fear to master. I cling to this life as though i am worried, Like i dont know life completes sooner when hurried. Though to end this world premature, Would be a sin against our Lord. But when it comes to life and death, is a small sin too much to regret. Just end it now and forget the past, Let the casket seal in your ass. And when ur life is done and your sole is rotten, You'll find yourself alone, until forgoten. Email Bryan November 19, 1998 by Alaina Across the sea scapes a stream of light will radiate the warmth of my affection into your heart. As in the night, I will awake and think of you. Restless searching will not uncover you. Amongst the restlessness I will see How wrongly I mistreated you. A wish - For someone to look into my eyes As you are staring into mine. My wish is for one to cherish, honour and respect me. Just the same as in a friendship when one friend begins to explain a situation or a sentiment and the other responds: Yes, I know, because I have also felt, thought or pondered. Someone who can renew my joy of living by trying new things, enduring traditions; who is reliable and faithful to the end. This is my most precious wish- - A soulmate for eternity. Email Alaina A blackbird sings by Alexander A blackbird sings outside my window as the day does end, His melody, a concert to my ears. Each sweet note brings a comfort to me, while this heart does mend, As solemnly once more the night appears. What joy to hear each cherished note, as daylight fades away, And darkness creeps around me yet again. A lover's song, to yet be wrote, outside my room does play, To ease away tomorrow and the pain. A blackbird sings as break of light is starting to appear. He greets the day as always, with his tune. I dream a dream throughout the night, the one I held so dear, And how we will be back together soon. I smile to hear him greet me, as I lie in bed awake, His chorus sings as sun begins to rise. Once more I do reflect how dreams are often my mistake, As once again, a hope inside me dies. Yesterday's Years Splintered fragments drifting on an ocean of tears. Yesterday's years. All of my tomorrows never came to be, A single boy enclosed within a loving family. Now just left an orphan with a painful memory. Left to pay the cost, of a childhood dream forever lost. Stranded on this shoreline, While all that I hold onto disappears. Yesterday's years. The day will come when fate will leave me nothing but the past. The searching for so many answers will be done at last. This fog of never knowing when this life of mine will truly find it's place. As destiny holds onto me, whilst moving slowly faster as my journey gathers pace. Till finally this mist of living blows away and clears, One to many questions as relentlessly, the final chapter nears, Lost and bound forever, in yesterday's years. Mail Alexander Panorama by Beltainnelyn One moment wrapped in time seems inadequate to express all the emotions you stirred within me, all the love I noticed around me - If one moment had to show everything that I felt - one would not suffice, for I loved you with the stars in your eyes The moon at your feet And the sun in your smile I worshipped you in my mind unknowingly - with my body as your temple and my love a precious gift upon the alter of your soul - I had thought to bring warmth, golden and bright rays of myself to lighten your existance before I learned you much prefer the dark. To Love in Vain To love in vain means Your prayers go unanswered - If you're brave enough to pray at all - Your tears fall like shadows Into the heart, forcing All the light into dark And the day into night - Hope is a fleeting memory That can be dangerous even when Grasped - in the hands That have once held him Once loved him It used to be that time Was never long enough - And now it's much Too long Much too slow - To love in vain means Wishing you did not love at all.

Slowly gaining consiousness now, my tired eyes stung as I attempted to open them. I looked around the strange room with blurred vision, hoping to find myself back in the comfort of my own warm bed and see it was all a horrible dream. I didn't. I could see a bit more clearly now. The room was small and dark. He wasn't there. Oh, thank God he wasn't there. 'Why me?' I thought. 'Why couldn't he have taken someone else?' I sobbed and scolded myself for thinking it. I didn't wish anyone to ever have to go through such a terrible epesode as this. My thoughts were interrupted by a key unlocking the door. I begun to cry harder now and scream as loud as my horse voice would allow. "NOOO! God, please no!" My vision dulled aain and before I could see the door open I had blacked out. I could hear my mothers voice in my head. I really missed her. I drempt of waking in her arms, her telling me it was going to be alright. I drempt of school. I'd never wanted to go back so bad in my life. I'd hug everyone because I missed them all so much, even the people I didn't like and didn't know. I missed seeing familiar faces. I almost seemed to be praying now. 'Please let me live, please. I promise I won't waste my life. I'll live every day as if it were my last, just don't let this be ;my last...' I pleaded. I could feal that I was waking now. I was in a hospital bed, my mother was draped over me in tears. I closed my eyes again and sighed. "...thank you." I managed to whisper before fallng back asleep. Alone Now I dove into the bed, burying my face in the soft cotton pillows, my tears instantly soaking the flower-patterned fabric. The laundry detergent fragrance of the sheets filled my head and I sensed her angelic presence that I missed so much. I turned my head, confirming that the door was shut so not to be seen crying like a baby, and hugged the pillow tightly burying my face in it once more and taking in her aroma. I could faintly hear her sweet voice, "Seth, breakfast is ready..." she would call. But now she'd faded and I, a 16 year old boy-or man if you'd asked me- was abandoned, alone. Grammy was all I had, and now even that was gone. Sure, I'd be staying with Uncle Ronnie and his new wife for a while or at least until I graduated, but they didn't care for me. Grammy had been the only person who really loved me. Why was she taken away from me? First mom and dad, now Grammy. Who will watch Wheel of Fortune with me and playfully argue over the answers? Nothing will ever be the same. My train of thought was interrupted when the door opened and Aunt Anita came in. "Honey, you ok?" she asked sympathetically. "Yeah," I answered, "I'll be awright." I wasn't quite sure if this was true, but saw no need in causing Anita to join in my sorrow. I think she saw through my responce though; she leaned over and hugged me snuggly. We walked out to the black town-car and drove to the funeral home to bid farewell to Grammy. Corinne's Homepage Mail Corinne I cannot break... By Crystal I cannot break free from the learned way Of creative poets from another day; I cannot meek out an ounce of skill From my molded mind and weaker will. I try and I try to make my amends But upon the reader it finally depends; Will you accept my sincere apology For being unworthy of anthology? You seek out... You seek out the false light And mend the circles of sin. Take pleasure in your unfound relics While you still have time Look under the rocks in the division, Grope. And fall dangerously toward Sacred openings. Mail Crystal |

CAMOMILE TEA BY KATHERINE MANSFIELD Outside the sky is light with stars; How little I thought, a year ago, Light as feathers the witches fly, We might be fifty, we might be five,
