Poetic Corner

Light, Dark it surrounds me. The future is unknown, it blinds me, or could it be so dark it scares me, frightens me. Could this be my one true fear? The one that waits in the shadows do they stalk me? Like the panther and its prey, it follows me, another dark creature why is this? In the shadows she waits, she is the only one to know my fate, but I hate to know that one controls my fate. I was told but never sold that no one could be told their destiny. To know one destiny is to hate all that is me. But wait the woman in white cloaked in shadows I have never met. But the feeling I get tells me that there is compassion comfort love. I step to greet her but cannot beseech her. I run to catch her but to no avail. I see no face but these words she tells “you are not ready to meet me yet my love when the time is right I will reveil myself till that day”. I try to speak but no words come out, she has silenced me. Now I sit here and I prey waiting longing for that day. Sand slips slowly though the glass knowing that the time has past. On my death bed with my last, I call out to her in the past. As I walk to the gates, I meet her the beautied face. Such is the poetic irony of my fate. Chris Culley Gunman69@cox.net

Love

Why is it that love is so confusing?
Letting you find not only one,
But two people you care for?
Must it torture you in such ways?
Making your mind spin,
Round and Round?
Each day I imagine their faces,
Thinking of whom is the best.
Yet, dreams occur,
Making it yet harder,
Making me suffer,
Making me think too hard.
I believe that as I think,
The time passes,
The question awaits.
Which one?
Whom will I choose?
Why must I choose them?
The anger starts to rise,
As I can feel my heart pounding.
Harder and harder,
The telephone rings!
Making me think of them.
Why this torture?
Cannot I find just one?
One person to keep me happy?
I don't want something short,
I want something that'll last.
I want something that cares,
Just for who I am,
Not what I look like.
Like me for me!
My mind is swarling about,
I don't know what to do.
I need help.
Some really great advice!
One already knows my feelings,
The other is complete lost.
But, who will I choose?
Must I make a choise?
Why can't I just forget them,
And go after someone else?
Someone different,
Or something better?
My eyes start dropping,
As I look at the ceiling,
Hope that all my dreams,
Will come to an end.
My nightmares be gone,
So I can finally rest,
The sleep in my eyes,
Have gotten the best.
As I lay here,
I finally think.
Which one will it be?
One of them or none?

What i hide

Tears falling gently while I try to close my eyes,
Try to cover my ears to hear no more.
Words that are spoken,
Harm the way I feel.
I try to push them all away,
Pretend like they never existed.
I can't do that,
I can't hide.
My mask is finally broken,
while they gently fall.
Down my cheek,
Getting warmer.
Why do I cry?
Why do I feel?
Can't I be left alone?
Can't I have a choice?
When will it stop?
When will they go away?
They taunt me,
Hurt me.
Try to rip me to peices,
Try to kill me.
Do I have to feel pain?
Hurt?Anger? Fear?
Why can't I feel only love?
Hope? Kindness? Joy?
My mind leaves me,
While I feel alone.
Away from friends,
Away from family.
Leave me alone!
Just leave me alone!
I want these tears to leave my eyes,
To never venture back to me.
To just stay away,
To just stay away.
I place my mask back on,
Before anyone sees them.
Try to make people not notice,
Notice my fear, my saddness, my anger.
Just try to joke around about things,
Try to make it look like I don't care.
But I do care.
I care more than they think.
I have a heart.
Don't I?
I feel pain, love, anger, hope.
I feel too much.
Should I push them away.
Should I push him away.
Should I leave my friends in the dark?
Tell them everything is alright?
Hide my feelings and my thoughts?
What do I have to live?
Is there anyone who really knows why I should continue,
Continue to live the painful life I live?
Who really cares for me enough that they would help me,
Try to get me away from everything.
Try to protect me from my fears,
Help me through thick and thin.
Will you?
Help me?
Try to save me from the grasps,
The grasps of evil?
From their lies, evil words,
Torment and pain?
Will you?
Will you help me?
What I hide inside,
Is starting to come out.
I'm afraid,
I can't stop it.
Just tell me you love,
That you care for me.
Give some hope to live on,
So I won't be alone.
I don't want to be alone,
Away from them.
Help me.
Save me.
Protect me.
Comfort me.
Take my fears away...
