"Fireflies"

There are fireflies dancing late at night,
They watch over you and tell me that you are alright.
I see them fly throughout the land,
But yet I see none o’er the sand.
I follow their glow and hope you are near,
And then I realize you are not here.
You’re dancing in the world above,
Being with the one you love.
I wish I could see you but know I cannot,
The only way is in my thought.
You are standing here watching over the land,
And then you take me by the hand.
I hear your voice; I feel your touch,
I know now that you mean so much.
I see you in your radiant light,
Finally I know that you are alright.
You gently unclasp my hand,
A lone tear falls to the sand.
There are fireflies dancing late at night,
They watch and guide me to your light.

“Eternity”

The tears I shed
The pain I felt.
The love I never grasped
The sites I saw
The dreams I dream
For your love ever last
I need to see the tears you shed
To know the dreams you dream
To know the feelings of the one
That I have never seen.
I wait in holden agony
To see your enchanting eyes
To see if you are the one I saw
In the dreams I felt were lies.
I’ll wait forever it may seem
For that day to appear
To see the one which I dream of
And the one I hold so dear.

"To do"

To see but not hear,
To feel but not touch,
To love but not be loved,
To care but not be cared for,
To dream but not be dreamt about,
To look but know you cannot have,
To kiss but not be kissed in return,
To hug but not be hugged back,
To cry but not comforted,
To die but not be missed.

“Disbelief”

Sight is but a nameless dream,
You see things for what they seem.
But after they’re gone and out of sight,
You realize what you’ve seen was not right.
There is something different, something queer,
Something peculiar, something mere.
You look again but all you see,
Is not the thing but tragedy.

"Thoughts"

A cemetery gleaming in the setting sun
Fills the emptiness of the way
Knowing, waiting no one knows what’s here.
Sitting in the darkness, the pit of loneliness
Destruction will come to the souls lingering behind
They will be nothing when the darkness comes.
The silence is broken with a shattered dream
The life of one is now snatched away
Walking through the graves I see past lives flash before my eyes.
I try to picture them as they were but not as they are now.
Failure to do so makes me realize what I feel
The souls slipping they’re lives my way.
Watching the darkness creep over the decaying stones
Feeling it’s way to the site to destroy
I watch in fear as it engulfs me
I can do nothing to stop it.
Fearing it is the end I listen to the lives that were shattered in the times before
And then realize I have nothing to fear
Death is only another way of living
Especially if it’s only in the mind.

"Jes"

The Sun, rising in east
Touches all it sees.
The heart of it pure and gold
For she knows how to love.
She is different than anything I have ever witnessed,
Unique in every way.
She sees things so clearly
And knows how to express herself.
She does not fear others criticism,
Nor gives any of her own.
Friendly to all
And shining from within for all to see.
She helps others live their lives,
Grow in every way.
See all the possibilities
And helps further their grasp onto life.
The Sun, setting in the west
Feels she has improved living,
Helping things grow in every way, shape, and form
And ready to start it all over again tomorrow.

"Path to Destruction"

Walking alone along the winding, weeded path.
The whistling of the wind through the trees rings hard in my ears.
Sensing that danger is near I take my steps out of fear.
Following the path,
I dare to explore what is on the other side
What evil will I experience?
Will it be something that can destroy me,
Or something that will not harm me?
I see an opening in the trees and walk swiftly towards it.
And at that moment I realize what I sensed was a tornado.
Gawking at the magnificence of what stands before me,
Swishing and hissing, the looming figure in the field is staring at me.
Gracefully dancing and diving it destroys everything in its path.
It will kill me if I do not get out of its course.
Fear fills my soul as I stand and stare,
Frozen and standing in the path of destruction.
I cannot control my actions nor block out the tornado’s roar.
I hear it breathing
See it moving
Feel it on my skin.
I wish and pray that it would go away,
For I cannot move.
Closing my eyes and turning with one movement I run,
Run hard and fast.
The tornado follows,
Destroying everything on the path
And then it turns and slows
Until it becomes nothing.
Again I am alone,
Walking along the winding, weeded path.

"Epitaphs"
{gravestone inscriptions}

Lestat de Lioncourt
1760-eternity

Here lies the coffin of the Vampire Lestat.
Who rises each night to kill a black rat.
The golden blonde hair, the luminous fangs, the big gray eyes.
The blood on his breath as his victim dies.

Hide N. Seek
1969-1989

Here lies the eyeballs of Hide N. Seek.
Whose sight disappeared when he began to peek.
He ran around frantically searching the ground.
And then he fell right into his mound.

"Author Unknown Poems"

"For Those Who Stand Strong"

The walls have fallen in like before once again.
Images in my mind that I cannot defend, it's getting hard to breath... Choke! Memories of your hands wrapped tight around my throat. I am left alone to drown in my own
despair, I wonder if I even care. I'm trying to escape. Who says time heals all wounds. I'm trapped. Trapped! The pressure starts to build my time is running out, can't you hear? I'm trying to reach out.Cries fall on deaf ears.
Hear! Here I am at last only myself to fear. I am left
alone to drown inside my ownself. i tried to save myself but I couldn't. Who says time heals all wounds of a broken heart.

"Sealed With A Kiss"

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss if u love me, please answer me this: Do you love me, or do you not? you told me once but I forgot, so tell me now and tell me true, so I can tell you............I love you. Of all the girls/guys I've ever met, you are the one I won't forget. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you. If you are not there on judgement day, I'll know you went the other way, I'll give the angels back their wings, and risk the loss of everything, just to prove my love is true, I'll go to hell to be with you."

"Love"

Love can be two different things heaven or hell.
Love is very fragile, like a baby.
Love can be wonderous and tragic.
Love is a great thing, you can go around and tell everyone.
But when you love someone who you know doesn't care, Love is pure hell.

Other Poems

"The Rose"
Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, An endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower, And you it's only seed. It's the heart, afraid of breaking, That never learns to dance. It's the dream, afraid of waking, That never takes a chance. It's the one who won't be taken, Who cannot seem to give. And the soul, afraid of dyin', That never learns to live. When the night has been too lonely, And the road has been too long, And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong, Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snows, Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, In the spring becomes The Rose.
Taken from a song sung by Bette Midler
