My MonumentI am staring at a wall.My Monument in Free Verse More Like This
A blank, empty, barren wall.
There are cracks in it.
The white paint is chipping.
The spray can in my hand is cool,
and it cry's rebellion.
I hold my breath and stare at this,
this wall,
and wonder what to write on its
frayed
beaten
surface.
Truth?
No. As soon as the word is written it becomes a lie.
Love?
No, to etch it on yet another lifeless surface would only furthur mar it's meaning.
Forever?
No. For then the wall would be sure to crumble with time.
Remember?
No. I need to forget it all.
I stare at this wall.
This
Blank
Wall.
But it's not really blank, is it?

Raindrop ReliefI rode on a raindropRaindrop Relief in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
While you lit a shooting star
So you would find your way back
No matter where you are.
And as I tumbled down
into the blue abyss
I watched you streak across the sky
and silently made a wish.
I didn't wish for money,
I didn't wish for fame,
I wished that you would smile
Every time you said my name.
And I was falling fast
As you began to fade,
And a tear escaped my eye
As the night became the day.
And now I'm here alone,
and I don't know where you are,
But when I feel real lonely,
I look for my shooting star.
And now and then I see it,
And now and then it's there,
And it's in those moments
When I'm
Hiding from HateBeaten with a broken eternity,Hiding from Hate in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
scorched by a shattered sun,
haunted by a hushed whisper
that screams to me that you're the one.
Dodging down the darkened alleys,
skipping through the sands of time,
facing down the fire demons
that dare to say you are not mine.
Hiding from the hunting haters,
clinging tightly to your hand,
ducking behind dew-drenched rainbows,
not caring if they reprimand.
Peeking around questionable corners,
dashing across darkened streets,
I will go anywhere on earth
If you will come with me.
Electric AngelIf I had a guardian angel, he'd play electric guitar.Electric Angel in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
He'd sit up in the havens on a tiny, forlorn star,
And play to the world he watches,
And pray for the world he knew,
And since he's my guardian angel,
He'd play one for me to.
The chaotic, moaning, screeching, cry,
Would break open the endless sky,
And shatter all the perfect clouds
With it's immaculate sound.
And they would pour down through the tear,
Every single answered prayer
And every child's wish
That had gotten lost along the trip.
He'd release all the answered prayers,
and sooth all the aching cares.
grant every single wish and fulfill every dream,
and send them

Upon the waves
That broke her heart,
And stole from her
The missing part.
The missing one
Who made her whole.
The other piece
To the wretched soul.
Barefoot on

Dancing on
Her barren feet,
Skipping
On forsaken ground
Never will

Haunting melodies,
Foreign songs
With angry beats.

From another day,
The entire world
Was once her stage.

Insulted grows,
And with you
They insulted grow.

Silence.

When We were YoungWhen we were youngWhen We were Young in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The world was big.
Innocence and treachery lurked
Around every bend.
Angels and demons walked
The streets,
Hand in hand.
We were Fearless.
When we were young
The sky was invincible.
The moon hung limply above,
An opaque and opalescent white,
Forever a symbol of love.
Wisdom.
Unknown.
We Were Intrigued.
When we were young
There was now color to rival
The dark blue of the ocean.
The ever-tumbling mass of
Perpetual motion.
Dancing, carrying dreams
Of heroes and villains in far away lands.
We were exited.

Our eyes were the gateways to our souls.

Thou shall not scream, thou shall not lie.
Tears of innocence fell from grace
But sins committed were not erased,
For the pearl white rose is stained with blood
From murders done in the name of love.
The rosary scattered when your knees hit the floor,
You cried for a savior but he was no more.
Then you saw his face; saw the tears in his eyes
And the scars in your hands gained by his petty lies.
And another player then entered the stage,
And your soul moaned when HE whispered your name.
HE took your hand, pulled you from the floor,
The savior sobbed as you reached for the door.

And I laid down my hand and said, "Read 'em and weep."
Then he looked at the devil, who nodded his head,
Then looked back at me and smiled as he said
"In knowledge, my child, you win yet you loose,
You are cursed with the will to seek for the truth."
The devil leaned forward in his fit, silk black suit,
Downed a shot and said with aloof,
"He's right ya know, kid,
You're faced with a choice,
Break or bend.
Live or die.
Silence or Noise."
I shook my head, no. I did not understand,
As god stood and left, the devil folded his hands.
He stood and he circled the table and sighed,

PonderingsCaught amongst the rampant racePonderings in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Staring into heavens face
Wondering if there is a place
For you amongst that empty space
Something kind of like a star
Constant no matter where you are.
So perfectly above the bar
You envy their right to be so far
So daintily far above
The crooked world your supposed to love
But what right have they to sit and judge?
A star knows not of life and love
A star has no urge to kiss and tell
Has never stood at the gates of hell
Has never had to sit and dwell
On just how far he might have fell
A star knows nothing of win and loose
A star fears no hangmans noose
They just sit there, high and aloof

The memories somewhat faded,
There lies he,
A liar, a traitor, an imposter,

The lie that lies there,
Infront of me,
Is the person in the glass,
That glass being a mirror,
And the liar being me.
She....She hides behind a veil of lies,She.... in Free Verse More Like This
They mask her tears and hide her troubles,
Her lips sewn together by fear,
She daren't speak out, not on her life,
Even when drowning in despair,
Even when burning under the pressure,
She wont dare call out for help,
Too scared to reveal her weakness,
Too troubled not to weave her lies,
Maybe she will slip out a hint,
A glimpse of what she really feels,
Although I doubt that.
Because that's the other side of me,
The side I'm too ashamed to let anyone see.
Afraid to be AliveI cannot open my eyesAfraid to be Alive in Free Verse More Like This
I am all alone
When my eyelids rise
My pain is awoken
My bleeding eyes see the pain of the world
Others suffering in silence
But their silent cries can be heard
If you have felt the pain
Of all a body can take
Then the tears of blood streak
Falling across my face
For the people who have asked
Why love, when heartbreak
Why trust, when it is always broken
What it means to feel, as if the world isn't real
Why am I so alone, outcast by the world
Why am I not superior, in some aspect
What can life mean, if each day runs the same cycle
How can we move on, through this pain
So we bleed
So we cry
So we d

Words are not what need to be said
Talking is difficult when you're someone else
But no one understands
That this isn't me
And they think they know me
Who I am, who I was, what I want
They know nothing of me
They are blinded still
When I cleared their vision
This me, is nothing but fake
Created to fool the eye
And when I lead them to the truth
They stumble back to oblivion
Because they fear the truth
They fear what they don't understand
Foolish
The truth is freeing
It kills and it burns, but
It frees the mind of question
And knowledge is filled
So why don't they accept what they know to be me

Echo's bleed out of the night like the weeping of a willow tree
Flashing of silver, Wiping away your blood soaked tears
Asking you to understand
The devils hold on a man
Always knocking on my door
Living nightmares of blood and gore
Hear the demon scream
Screaming as you hit the floor
They come at me on the crystal moon
Crying screaming killing more
Kill the night and close your eyes
This is your loving lullaby

I know you don't really care about me
So why pretend when I can already see?
You act so holy
And you need to see
That no matter what you try to change about me
It won't work.

And I don't want to be better.
Never will I change.

An Italian Sonnet by Remy
When I was younger, I had the best dreams
Everyone was my friend, no one was mean.
I got what I wanted, I was the queen.
In my wonderland where the blue sun gleams
Cups would be full as the tea always steams.
Against the pink colored trees we would lean,
And talk about all the great things we had seen.
We all stayed because the tea always teams.
But now that wonderland has turned to dust,
Sadly, innocence has become corrupt.
Losing such childish dreams is a must,
After all that is a part of growing up.
They will say it is fair, that it is just,
To leave the tea party with empty tea cups.

MirrorWhen I look in the Mirror,Mirror in Free Verse More Like This
I do not like what I see.
Is that really me?
Because that's the last person I want to be.
I want to be happy.
I want to feel okay.
Not waking up every morning
awaiting to dread the day
I miss how everything used to be.
Everything felt alright it seemed.
But day after day,
colors began to fade to grey.
I wait for life to fall back in place,
not for a life that has fallen from grace.
When I look in the Mirror,
It's everything I said,
but after this moment,
It will be the last tear I shed
