My poetry
1
Alone I stand, pure as can be.
Enclosed by a world of darkness.
No peers to fall apon when I'm down.
Leaning not toward the sun, but on the ground.
Plucked from the very garden of Eaden.
A place of justice, and clearity.
Brought to this place, a place of envy and greed.
Here I stand, all alone.
Wanting nothing more then to go home.
Why can't I escape from these shadows of darkness,
where I too can be free.
Alone I stand, pure as can be.
If I escape from this place of darkness,
Dead or alive,
One day, I too will be free.

My knees start to weaken,
At the first sight of your face.
My heart starts to melt,
At the thought of your embrace.
Your love flows through me,
Like a river flows down its path.
Your kiss lifts me up so high;
I could probably fall to my death.
I really wish that
When I looked into your eyes I could see
Exactly how it is that
You feel about me
I get nervous when you're around me,
I feel I could cry when you're away.
I dream about you,
Every night and day.
I want you to know
my last three words will always remain true
Regardless of what I may say or do
you'll always know that
I love you.

I have feelings of love for the girl I see.
Does she love me too, what does she think of me?
I wish I could tell her she makes me whole, but I'm
afraid to say
what's deep in my soul.
I don't want to lose her, for I would be alone,
and some days I just can't wait to hear her voice on
the phone.
I want to feel as though I am her safeguard,
the one she can come to when things get hard.
I will always be there to help her along,
and before we met I wasn't as strong.
I wish I could tell her what I feel inside,
but I'm afraid of what she’ll say, how she'll act on
the outside

Do you hear me, I’m the one screaming.
In the midst of this crowded place, I’m the one bleeding
Puddles of blood from the wounds.
So much pressure keeping me down.
I see you laugh, with your eyes but a glow,
And that’s when my anger starts to flow,
Through me like a river down its path.
I arise to my feet, and reach for your hand.
A gentle reach of forgiveness.
You do nothing,
But stare at me with a look of demand.
My anger intensifies,
Like a raging fire I become reckless and wild.
The pain I bring to you sends you to the ground,
I watch you lying coughing and twitching,
Until you are as dead as the icy cold ground that you are
sprawled out apron.
Realizing what I have done,
My action hasn’t helped calm my nerve,
I fall to the ground in a puddle of blood,
Crying,
Wishing I could be as lucky as you

Can we not descend from this place of a fake reality?
And escape to a place of full clarity
Mindless of confusion, free from suffering.
Something that was never though of again,
And was always dismissed so many times before.
The emptiness we seek, that willing reach.
Me extended hand waits for yours,
Waiting the time when I can call you mine.
In my heart I know, you will never feel for me the way
I do you.
For I’m but nothing in a cloudy discolored world.
And you will always be clear in these eyes of mine.

Life is forever as it may seem yet the chances we take
will shorten this theme.
Searching for love, searching for trust,
Yet all I find is hatred and lust.
It is clear now.
We will all die someday, somehow.
Yet the burning in my heart will last until it is
broken.
Why you do this to me is a riddle each day,
Why do you torment my heart with so much pain?
It is a question I can’t comprehend,
And one day we will both be dead.
Until that day the aching will grow, I weary, and it
stronger.
Why do you do this to me?
What have I done?
For all I gave you was my true love,
As well as you did until today.
Love isn’t forever, I now know.
And for once it is clear to me why it’s so.
Even true love won’t last forever,
And that you have shown.

The decisions we make, decide out fate.
Clearing my mind to you, was so divine.
But the thought of living without you, wishing were no longer
For my prolonging love is all I have to offer
Dear to my heart, sweet and tender
This undying love I'll carry with me forever.

Helpless until I found you.
Here I stand with my patience bleak, wondering
mindlessly in the endless darkness.
Feeling so helpless, staggering around in circles,
pondering what I can do for you.
Unable to stop myself, I’ve done it again, I’ve fallen
in love.
For it is you that I’ve fallen for and I will never
reach the end,
Until the very last breathe of my life, I’ll give it
all to you.
To you, for you, and everything you do.
Here I’ll stay to help you through.
As mindless as I am one thing I know is true
For you, and everything that you’ll do
The light will always shine on you.

A thorn in our presence?
My curiosity stirs, questions start echoing in my mind.
My guard upraises to the very idea, a past lover?
Is their still something there?
Holding back memories or feelings of a past love.
Could things have worked out?
Can they still?
An intruder in the presence, a thorn in our love?
I recall this in my past, the same very burden,
Before I didn’t react and lost my jewel,
Over the jealousy of a past lover.
Mindless, I wondered what I did wrong,
I grieved in silence, quivering alone in the
darkness,
Wondering, waiting, searching for the answers.
Their I laid promising myself this.
This will not happen again, I won’t lie still
Being kind, giving them time.
I recall this in my past, the same very burden,
And I promise myself this,
Things will not be the same,
This will not happen again.

For you I’ve fallen
Endless the possibility’s the sky’s the limit,
Frowning down apron us.
You’re the light, a shining star.
The one thing they couldn’t keep theirs,
Whom ever you choose you could receive,
Yet you’ve fallen for me, as I have for you
Heart and soul I have to offer, although there is more,
Those are the two things I can endlessly offer.
As fucked up as this world is,
When I’m in your presence everything seems right.
I only feel alive when I have you in my sight,
And when with you things feel so right.
I’ll bleed myself dry for you,
Now and forever until I die.

So soft,
the brief touch of your lips on my cheek.
So soft,
your words of embrace.
The comfort you brought me,
I guess I didn't bring enough?
The sense of love,
But you couldn't find comfort with me in each other's arms.
How I wish,
I could please you,
To enlighten you in your times of despair.
To bring you the same true happiness you brought me.
To find strength with me, in each other's arms.
But I guess I cant.
Through the clouds in my eyes.
I watch you flyaway,
and wish I'd been born with wings.

Accept me pretty girl, and call me yours.
Open your heart, and find the love I've spoken toward.
No more do I want to count my wasted tears,
And I now hope that together we can start to count our years.
To ask not what can you do for me, but what can I do for you?
There is nothing that I shall request from you that I won't do for you.
I ask of you only one thing.
Lay your Sleeping head, my love upon my shoulder.
Hold my hands that rest upon your stomach.
Embrace me tight to feel the beat, the beating of something that strives for you.
Cease your sight, and close your eyes,
And I shall start to sing you a lullaby.
As you sleep, shall not I but to stay awake to watch you in peace,
A breath I'll take one all so deep.
To take your scent to my heart, causing to skip a beat.
Sitting there with you, I shall not let you go.
I'll close my eyes, and thank god for every second that we are together.
My feelings are for you, solely for you and forever my love will stay true.
So take, my pretty brown-eyed girl,
This token, a peace of my heart, nothing less then my love.
