Elves Nighttime WelcomeIn the darkElves Nighttime Welcome9 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Search the stars
On this moonless cloudy night
For the magic
Of the elves
As they play the glimmering light
Like a top
Like a song
Those who can see all delight
In the whispered lighting fancies they behold.
It's the elves
Who control
The light that's in the dark
And their magic
That we see
With each beating of our heart
So look up
In the night
Leave the city find a park
And loose your conscience in the magic of the elves
DancingDancing8 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Dancing by myself
wearing my favorite jeans and an itty bitty shirt
and jasmine perfume
with the music so loud
singing along
watching myself reflected in the window
and my shadow on the floor
because there's nobody else around
and it feels good to be me.
But then you're here
and our bodies once as sure as twining snakes
are strangers
full of elbows and knees
awkward angles
and blind mistakes
my rhythm is gone
the music lost in meaningless noise.
Your eyes find mine
and your hands guide my hips
into a new rhythm
gentler than the first
guide me to a music quieter
that only we can hear
and we are nothing but two vines
Cant ForgetIt's not the being aloneCant Forget9 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
It's the lonliness
That eats my soul when I'm away from you.
It's not the place I'm at
It's the emptyness
That makes me do the thing I do.
You'll never know how much I need you.
I'll work 'till the day is through
To keep you from my mind.
No matter what I do
I think of you.
Remember how kisses feel
Remember hands on my skin.
I try but cant forget
In my mind you're there.
It's not the being alone
It's the lonliness
That eats my soul when I'm away from you.
It's not the place I'm at
It's the emptyness
That makes me do the thing I do.
You'll never know how much I need you.
I'll run 'till I fall

Love: is not easily forgottenAnd you.Love: is not easily forgotten10 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
You broke my heart and,
displeased with the results,
you scattered the pieces and
ground them under your uncaring heel.
Yet I loved you.
I remembered the sweet things
you poured in my virgin ears.
The quiet moments beneath the sunset
or riding through the summer mountains.
Just you and I.
And I loved you.
Though I cried a thousand
tears and begged you not to leave,
promising to write,
promising to return,
promising to love none but me.
You left me.
Each promise you made and
each word you spoke
were lies.
And beneath the loathing I
came to feel at your name,
beyond the lies you left behind,
passing by t
What's mineMy body is yoursWhat's mine9 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Do with it as you will,
But my soul is my own,
The one part of me you cannot touch,
The one part of me that's mine.
You may try to break it,
Scream obscenities in my face.
You may beat me until I cry aloud
But you will not leave a trace.
My soul is flying in the sky
It's far away from you.
You can beat me, starve me, hate me,
You can shame me before all,
But my soul is flying in the sky
And it will never fall.
Cut me, rape me, kill me even,
Do the worst that you can do.
My soul is soaring through the sky,
So far away from you.
My body is yours
Do with it as you will,
But my soul is mine.
And you

Somewhere it's RainingIt seems that not a day goes bySomewhere it's Raining9 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Bullets and bombs dont fall from the sky.
Pray to Allah every day
Make it rain instead so I can play.
Somewhere it's raining. Somewhere it's raining
Day by day this war goes on
I'm left no choice, I write this song.
See fighter planes soaring by
Think birds are all that should fly.
Somewhere it's raining. Somewhere it's raining.
We're living poor the fields are dry
But bullets are all that fall from the sky.
So many soldiers marching through
When I'm grown I'll be one too.
Somewhere it's raining. Somewhere it's raining.
Where is it raining?
BuzyBuzy8 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I'm busy, it's true
But when I've a minute to think, I think of you.
My sigh when I finally go to bed
The first half, true is tired,
But the second half is lonely for you.
I remember what you say about clouds,
But to me they never look painted
When I look at them
For a minute
Before getting back to work.
I feel the touch of the wind and sun,
And it's nice,
But I want your touch.
My fork traces your name on my plate
At dinner.
I shiver into my chilly bed,
and wish you could help keep it warm.
My muscles ache,
but my heart aches more.
It misses you,
And the muscles just have an unoxidized buildup of acid.

The Flat Of My BackThis song was written from the flat of my back.The Flat Of My Back9 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
It was the only place I could be
Life hit me so hard, left my soul a broken shard.
So I wrote this song from the flat… of my back.
This song was written from the flat of my back.
Dark was all I wanted to see.
Heard you were dead, the sorrow went to my head.
So I wrote this song from the flat… of my back.
This song was written from the flat of my back.
Wars and armies took you from me.
My love I give, without you I don't want to live.
So I wrote this song from the flat… of my back.
This song was written from the flat of my back.
It's where I wanted to be.
I'll make no more wa
His EyesWhen I look in his eyesHis Eyes9 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
-Eyes of shattered glass blue-
I know somehow that his words are true.
I see in his eyes
What I've not seen before.
I see the old things
But also much more.
In the dark eyes before his
I saw only greed
(Desire and lust are more what I mean).
Now in his eyes I see that too,
But only after looking through
The love, respect, and tenderness
That accompanies each caress
When his fingers dance across my face.
The love that's ours is not a race
To add a conquest to his list,
No, but to savor every kiss.
So I think that this could last
Unlike the others in my past.

Watching you from afar
My soul begins to cry
Wanting who you are
My love has to die
Masking my emotion
What will you do?
Darkening my devotion
Your light shines through
Can't escape our fate
I want to love you
Am I too late?
What can I do?
Watching you from afar
My heart begins to tare
Wanting who you are
My passion cannot dare
I'll simply love you from afar.....
Love of Life Gift of DeathLove of Life Gift of Death10 years ago in Philosophy & Perspectives More Like This
What some people don't realize is how easy it really is to be able to stare into each of your best friends' eyes, their souls, and be willing to say that you love them with every fiber of your being. To be able to say to each of them that if the moment ever came, you would be willing to die for them, without hesitation. However, the difficult thing, the scary thing, is realizing within you that it is true. That you actually care enough about these people, these people that you consider your family, to die for them. They are your life, and no matter what it takes, you will do everything in your power to be there for them, to help them, to hold

I cut into my misery
The blade skims across my arm
Nothing could mend my teenage angst
But this self inflicted harm
Cutting and scraping
Until I've reached the bone
Why won't you acknowledge me?
I feel so alone
The reflection I see haunts me
It drives me insane
I hate myself so much
I deserve to feel this pain

Let Me InLet Me In10 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Looking into your eyes
I see anguish
I see pain
I see a dark burden
A burden you should not bare
Let me be your strength
Let me wipe away your tears
Let me battle your demons
Let me into your world
You try to hide your pain
You try to fight in secret
But the look in your eyes tells me
The world is bearing down upon you
Looking into your eyes
My heart breaks
My soul cries
You know I'm here
Won't you let me in?
