Exiled Together"Exiled Together"

He slept with both eyes open

As the maiden near him cried

Under covers tightly woven

They knew tomorrow would be goodbye

He gave her all he had

But soon she'd have to go

Leaving him very sad

And possibly quite alone

She could have been pelted

By stones from those arms

Who would rather see her swelter

Under fire by a barn

Every time they tried

To torture her to death

This man would come around

And defend her one last breath

But now she would be cast

Into the morning's rising sun

I can't say I know for sure

What exactly she had done

Was she deemed a witch?

A fugitive? A traitor?

Was she the town's snitch

Castles In The Sky"Castles In The Sky"

Why couldn't you have taken me when

I was only at the age of ten?

I would have gone quietly I swear

Why couldn't you take me there?

Why couldn't you let me go

To the place I always wanted most?

Of cloud and brick and mile high

Like the castles in the sky

Why don't you listen when I talk?

Hearing the sounds of which you balk

Speaking alone is losing the appeal

But only I understand the way I feel

Where do fireflies get their glow?

Why stars fall I'll never know

My wishes sink faster than the stones

I tried to skip but can not atone

Why do bulbs portray such light

Like the sun powerful and bright?

Even be

Take My Hand"Take My Hand"

Please take my hand
And look me in the eyes
Make me understand
That I wasn't born to die
Don't say those last words
Please don't say its time
I can not concur
Its not time to say goodbye
I feel broken and alone
On many, many nights
But you make me feel at home
Like the stars in the sky
I've watched the world change
I've seen people come and go
Longing to stay the same
But this is never so
Just when things are stable
And at least one step I can take
That's when the cables
Yet again always break
So don't make me sad
Let's run away and hide
And no matter how bad
Together we can cry
Don't bring me down

Mood Queen"Mood Queen"

She has this switch inside of her head

That signals love; then flickers red

Proceed with caution; handle with care

If she opens her mouth enter if you dare

There is this thing; its called a mind

Sometimes its there; sometimes its fine

But when she smiles you better prepare

To run for miles or tear out your hair

She punches doors; she scratches walls

She crawls along her floors in halls

Then she'll cry or laugh with glee

After destroying everything

In tragic cases where mood dissolves

She'll bury faces with no resolve

And leave no trace; no where to run

She'll hunt you down; she has a gun

She'll drive you nuts for

Love Is Blind"Love Is Blind"

He was a world renown artist
He could play the violin
He could tell you any song
Before it would begin
He could speak many languages
So fluent off his tongue
He always kept his house clean
Before spring had even sprung
He traveled many countries
An intellectual he was
He would tinker with his watches
For reasons just because
He was a classy gentleman
So spiritual and divine
The only dilemma here
Was that he was blind
He had never seen the colors
Or the faces passing by
But you would never know this
Because he'd look you in the eye
And smile as wide as he could
A happy man he was
Still he hurt inside

I Could"I Could"

I could travel as far as I can go

And never arrive to where I want

I could climb as high as the mountain's snow

And never completely reach the top

I could launch myself off a building

And somehow still survive

I could give into these feelings

Or look into your eyes

I could drown myself in a lake

And wash up along a coast

I could be stabbed with a stake

And live to talk and boast

I could drink myself to oblivion

And still never feel bliss

I could make a bold decision

And give you another kiss

I could try to right my wrongs

But some things can't be fixed

I could find where I belong

But your intentions are too mixed

Count The Stars"Count The Stars"

I tried to count the ways

That I love you in the stars

This project took me days

And I'm still not very far

Some stars burned brightly

Before falling to the ground

Just then I thought of how

You make me feel when you're around

I never thought I could love

But you slowly showed me how

Back then I couldn't do

Things that I can now

I love your color eyes

Your grin; your skin

I love the way you glare

When you know I let you win

I love the way your hair

Gets tangled in the wind

Its great how we relate

Because I know where you've been

I love how you're so kind

I love the way you think

I love your sex appeal

Noble Chivalry"Noble Chivalry"

I see her aesthetic reflection in every mirror
With the passing days the closer the attraction grows nearer
And yet with every word and every kindly letter
I always believe she deserves so much better
Why is there an attraction to the mess that is me?
Perhaps there are waters that run deeper than I can see
I resemble a fine-tuned piano without the keys
Or maybe a rusted violin without the strings
And while I always appear to be shredding at the seams
None of this matters in her mind apparently
I resemble a beautifully wrapped gift without the bow
Or perhaps a kiss between lovers without the mistletoe
And alth

Loserboy"Loserboy"

Whenever she asks him for more

He always ends up on the floor

He can't seem to do anything right

Getting beat up in club fights

He trips over his own feet

Trying to strut in the middle of streets

He doesn't understand feelings felt

Losing poker hands before the cards are dealt

Yet he has all of her pictures on his walls

Hoping for yet another call

Hoping for yet another date

Because his hand is lonesome at any rate

But he never has anything interesting to say

Making perverted jokes so he with himself can play

On the phone or when all alone

His lotion is his best friend when his parents aren't home

He will stalk a g

Your Only Son"Your Only Son"

I know I can never be someone who I'm not
But I hope I don't become someone you forgot
And all the years that pass; and all the years that fade
Please God will you make this pain go away?

My head is seeing colors; my eyes are seeing lines
I force myself to tell people I am always fine
Because if they took a journey deep inside my mind
They'd run away in fear; they would cower and hide

Why is it that I do the things I know?
Those ideas of self-abuse are ones I can't outgrow
And all the cuts and scars; all the knives and blades
Resemble all the failures resting in my name

I don't even understand the way I always th

Humiliation"Humiliation"

If I exist to teach a lesson
Then that lesson is to overcome
Any hardship or desire
Always fight; never run
Never give in to others
Or let them think that they won
We are all capable of strength
We will never be outdone
If I exist to show you how
Listen to what I have to say
Always do the best you can
And one day you'll find your way
Some exist to show us reasons
Why things are the way they are
And though their time may be short
They'll help us uncover scars
Everyone has a purpose
Even if you don't know it yet
Your existence affects others
There are those I won't forget
No matter how real the pain
Or how s

Am I Alive?"Am I Alive?"

They tell me I am a human being

Alive and possessing a mind, heart, and feelings

So why no matter how hard I try

I can not help but feel dead inside?

Always wishing I could undo the past

Always wishing for my happiness to last

To this day my heart keeps beating

Despite the pain which is never receding

Every morning I contemplate what lies before me

Every night I contemplate death and all its glory

And as I stare into empty spaces

I see the images of familiar faces

If the answer to my pain is to leave them alone

And to vanish into the great unknown

Then in my grave I shall rest with stains

From the violence and th

Grow And Decay"Grow And Decay"

I am still bewildered how in the end

I turned out differently from all my friends

We don't like the same things anymore

Things I now enjoy they find to be a bore

But I've always been different; this is nothing new

Things that I like are only cherished by a few

But I can't complain when there's no one to blame

Except for me for not being the same

What kills me is how we all grew up similar

A collective bunch of souls all very familiar

With who we were and what we liked

We were all so bright at such great heights

Because when you are kids you make promises

And try to withhold them with such confidence

But then wh

Who Are You?"Who Are You?"

Not everything in our lives
Will be handed to us on plates
I can tell you once we're alive
We have such undecided fates

There are those who like to strive
And always question themselves
Like the bees that buzz in hives
Honey doesn't make itself

Some of us are leaders
We grab bulls by their ropes
If you fall into this category
You will never lose your hope

But some hide and cower
Running from their fears
This prolongs the inevitable
When they break down after years

Others are just so lazy
They don't even want to try
They reside in rooms so hazy
They stare with bloodshot eyes

There are those who keep on tryin

Hallucinations"Hallucinations"

I found a small, green bottle sitting on a table

Without any description, warning, or label

When suddenly curiosity took a hold of me

Maybe just one pill could cure my disease

So I popped one in my mouth and swallowed it whole

And washed it down with old coffee gone cold

And realized after fifteen minutes nothing had happened

For these white pills offered me bitter compassion

So one pill led to two which then turned into six

I figured I needed more to completely get my fix

Six led to ten which led to twenty instead

And that's when I felt this ringing inside of my head

Or maybe that was the ambulance singing a son

Moonlit Waltz"Moonlit Waltz"

I bit her skin and watched her warm

Life drip down her sleeve and down her arm

Her eyes were closed I could of sworn

Movements gentle as a newly born

My teeth as sharp and white as pearls

Have left their mark in fragile girls

But none other than this beauty I hold

In my arms a prize as good as gold

I'd take her slow though if I could

But we must leave these lonely woods

I raised her towards the blackened sky

Where we flew into the white

Moonlit scene except for my

Glowing blue and reddish eyes

I stood her up onto the glass

In my castle made of shiny brass

In my soul the darkness felt

Confusion"Confusion"

She left him in the pouring rain

For reasons of which she could not explain

She left him to himself again

For reasons of which he could not commend

Left him holding the card of love

Left him staring at the stars above

Left him like an eroded stone

Or a rotten fruit thrown out alone

Standing there he swallowed and could not believe

He invested so much time in someone who teased

All the years spent making her smile

Was on the face of one who was benignly vile

Blindsided by this random act of folly

The ball was in her court but she missed her volley

But even she questioned the way that she felt

Was this truly it or a

Madman"Madman"

He took his boat onto the river

Even though he never learned to swim

With enough wine to kill his liver

Perhaps he should just dive right in

With no one left to save thee

He knows how life will go on

He does not need useless sympathy

He would rather be where he belongs

He can no longer carry the charge

They are soon to find what he left

Disfigured parts under glass in shards

Manikins beheaded so meaningless

A train wreck derailed to his appeal

A child left hanging on a tree

A victim's virginity he steals

A bomb undetected in the Marriott Marquee

He can not excuse his unspeakable sins

Nor deliver a verdict to bear

Dear Amy"Dear Amy"

All the dreams that I wished for

Are all the things I want no more

Now I bestow them onto you

As I wither away in my dark fortitude

For you I pray these words will not betray

For you I say have the glorious of days

Fly away with your wings spread wide

Higher and higher allow freedom as your guide

Armed with nothing except for your mind

May destiny lead you towards a path of surprise

For you I would swim across these tides

Flailing my arms just to keep up behind

But if I should go under before I arrive

Breathing is irrelevant as long as you're alive

For you I would trace your every step

Derailing you off the path of

To A Friend"To A Friend"

To a friend who I once gave much accolade

Our last sundown means we must part our separate ways

Our friendship now from what I survey

Has been driven off course and continues to sway

With our heads held high we have made much progress

Indeed I thank you for allowing my success

But the time has come now I must confess

From my life now you must slowly regress

Tis better to walk away before you squall and grieve

Don't beg for forgiveness and get up from your knees

You are better than that or so you claim to achieve

The stories you extract are myths which you weave

For you are not the great hero who I thought you once w

What Guys Think

"What Guys Think"

Maybe if I tried a little harder

Or was a little bit smarter

Maybe if I wasn't such a bore

Maybe then she'd like me more

Am I even exciting enough?

Does she like a guy who's tough?

Maybe if my breath didn't smell

She'd like me more I can tell

Does she even like me at all?

Maybe she's more on the ball

Maybe I'm just a fool strung out

Maybe I need less self-doubt

Before she starts to prefer

Another guy next to her

Maybe I'm her only one

Burning brightly as her sun

Maybe I should walk away

And leave her to another's prey

Falling into the hands of a fiend

Maybe I should intervene

Maybe if I applied who I am

And didn't play pretend

And lived inside her world

I would be the best for this girl

If I didn't try things myself

And actually asked for help

Maybe I could get inside her head

And better understand what she says

Maybe if my mind didn't wander

And I didn't sit here and ponder

I could stop asking why

And build the courage to try

Maybe I'll get a chance to say

Would you like to go on a date?

If I try to kiss her goodbye

Maybe then she'll have a good night

Should I eat while she stares?

Will she like what I'll wear?

Maybe if I compliment her hair

She'll let me see her underwear

Maybe if I wasn't a fail

Maybe if I tried to exhale

I could breathe a lot easier

And live a longer life for her

Maybe if time didn't move so fast

Maybe then this love will last

If only time didn't rush us by

If only I wasn't a stupid guy

But maybe within more time

If I could write a better rhyme

Or even a simple melody

I could earn her heart brilliantly

And she can believe in herself

And soar above this world of hell

Maybe if we worked as a team

Maybe then you'll feel what I mean

But maybe now I shouldn't think

Maybe I should have another drink

Worthless answers from useless friends

Things will be all right in the end

Another poem I wrote. NOTE: Not ALL guys think like this, some do.
