Gaze at the sun to see a brilliant ball of fire
Look at my eyes for my true heart's desire
Peer through the lovely ocean waves
to see life in it's most beautiful display
Life all around us,
sidewalks, porches, wicker chairs
Things that we may never see
Through office windows, sky scraper heights
the things we would never dare.
All the dreams we wish to be
little-boy cowboys and long-haired princesses
are swept from us like a wave on the sea.
We do not live for what we want
we strive for what we think is need
But truthfully,
We could have,
we could see
this life all around us,
ponytails, lawn chairs, streetlamps,
If we could
I may not remember
every day before I die.
I may not recall
every astronaut to reach the sky.
In fact, I very well could forget
everything I've learned,
I may lose
everything I've earned.
No one has said,
and no where is it written,
that life is perfect;
I do not expect it to be.
But I know a few things,
to be expected of me.
You expect me to be here,
you expect me to wait.
Every day, another year,
and I grow older o'er and o'er.
I may not remember
every day before I die,
but I will remember,
each day you left me lie
alone.
I can expect a few
chipped nails,
bruised egos,
and kicks in the stomach,
but never did I expect
the pain I felt each time
you shattered my heart.
It wasn't just the one teenage heartbreak,
but a series of small disasters ruining my soul.
Now I'm discarded,
left more worthless than a broken doll
to anyone but you.
I pity myself for allowing you to do this to me;
But pity gets one nowhere.
So until you're done
"exploring,"
I'll still be here,
locked up, porcelain face shattered,
and tossed to the side
for the whim of another day,
hoping it may last a lifetime.
You were one who was beautiful and bright;
Lived for others-
Never worried about the pain
that could be found in life.
One I fell in love with.
Now- the wind blows about you-
cold at your wings,
in your fight to raise the sky.
You are changed,
yet I love you.
I'll follow you-
to the ends of the earth.
I am in love with you- don't fly from me.
You are not who you used to be.
Your color has changed-
now dark deep,
in mourn.
You are-
my darkened butterfly.
You have never stopped
chasing your past-
but I wish you to turn your beautiful face-
to the sun;
And make me a part of your future.
Bring back your beauty,
and do
The train- blows it's whistle-
as I watch you pull away.
I'm standing on the platform-
waiting for the day.
My dress, my old hat, is worn.
My heart- my eyes, are sore,
from all the cryin' I do.
I realize sometimes there's nothin' I can do,
and it's only a dream- me of seein' you.
Your death is so unreal to me,
even after thirteen years,
baby, I don't see.
I wish I could buy my way to heaven
with all these tears,
'cuz it's all I've got now,
between me and my livin'.
I pray for you, 'n hope you're happy up there,
'cause down here it's hell-
Ciaos every where.
I don't know what made you join that war,
we was gonna be okay.

Lace of ribbon, soft upon my neck
Warm breath from you-heats my face
An arm around waist,
your hand spread across my back
so low- it sends a rush through my spine.
A soft sigh, as I fall into you-
like water, so smoothly we move.
Slowly, quietly, a dance, pure of love
rushes through us, deep in the night.
Down within me, is a fire only you can soothe.
A heat- matched by yours-burns on my flesh.
I needn't hear any words-
for more is spoken through our bodies,
no voices tonight.
Silk upon my breast,
warmth within my legs-
brings something of me I have not felt before.
Spinning, twirling, my body yearning....
my mind- only thin
I pity the soul who has lost his way-
disappeared in the drifts from day after day
He doesn't know what to live for,
nor where to go.
There is not a thought in his mind,
but a collection of which to show.
none that can he separate
or distinguish from each other;
Lost is he-
not knowing himself
nor how to feel.
Puzzled and confused is a constant expression-
all others lost among what is real.
Only does he wish
to fit in,
to understand;
For the moment,
to be able to live for today.
He wishes and he hopes
but none does it help
for yet lost is he that I pity
until I find that that man is me.
Times are hard, but then again, life is, too.
Most of the time, nothing ever seems to make sense;
Rarely it does.
I get the feeling- of a caged bird-
leading the life I do;
And always wonder-
what could be different;
had I not done-
what I did,
or had I simply listened
to what I felt.
Once more, I attemp

These thoughts I've had of you-
so what if they're bad?
The dreams I've had of you-
who cares if they're sad?
There's no one there for me,
and no one to help.
Why don't I just end it,
my life in this hell?
It'd be so much easier.
For me and for you.
That's what I'm going to do now.
Get rid of myself and be gone forever.
My biggest question now, is simply how.
But as I look at it,
that's not how it should be.
I do need the help. I did. And it was there.
You did it. You've saved me.

How Do U Explain This Feeling?
The tears well up inside my eyes,
but can't fall over the edge.
Years and years spent on how bad things are or how bad they could be.
All my time invested- but not only in me.
But no one seems to care.
I try to help, but they don't want it.
When I want help, they act like they can't see it.
They are afraid of me.
Afraid of me and how things could be.
They don't want me in their life,
they don't need these feelings.............all these problems that are hidden within me.
These rivers of thoughts that never stop flowing...........
These geysers of tears that are shot up, from someplace deep inside that they can't see.
But somehow
Time to start anew
Here thou art begins
Forever embossed in your past
memories that do last
until the day askew-
you shadows out to sea.
Your shadows are your ashes
And forever they will be
Now and evermore-
through that opened door
One undiscovered to many
whom are overwhelmed by the penny
But though you are brave and honest
as you wander into the forest
Your strenghth is seeping to the ground
As you see that very last bright light
Circle around..............
And hold you in the deep abyss of everlasting night.
Loneliness is crying all by yourself because there is no shoulder for you to cry on.
Loneliness is dreading the next day because you know there will be no one for you to share it with.
Loneliness is when you stop talking because there is no one who wants to listen to you.
Loneliness is sitting by yourself because everyone else is too embarrassed to be seen with you.
Loneliness is playing games alone because everyone else is afraid of you.
Loneliness is getting an invitation on your desk, only to find out it had been some horrible mistake.
Loneliness is going to the movies by yourself because everyone else was just "too busy".

My life was so easy-until you came along.
Nothing to worry about-life was okay.
I mean, not the best. Some things were wrong.
But I wish that it could just stay,
the way it was.
But now you're here, and my life has changed.
I never thought that I could care this much
About someone else, or the way they feel.
I never want to hurt you. I don't.
And please, please, believe me, in all my power, I won't.
But some things are out of my hands,
inevitable as they do seem.
To me, you're everywhere, inside my head,
into my dream.
And I know you care! Really, I KNOW you do.
But now I have nothing to look forward to.
I can't see you, hardl
Life.
Is a puzzling thing.
Why does it have to be the way it is?
For everyone else, it seems so good.
To me, it's just one big consequence.
It's like everything I do or try is never good enough.
So tell me why.
Many people are worse off than me.
But why all these things happen, I just don't see.
I never thought my life would take this turn.
Who knew this was coming my way?
Now that you came into my life,
I want you always to stay.
No matter what comes now, I don't even care,
As long as I'm with you,
then I have no fear.
And you spin featherstrings around my tummy and tickle and sew me up. complete. to heal and dissolve into my mucus membranes and you circle lasso envelop devour me into you and you say stay stay stay stay and I will

And I'm writing you a tragedy, I'm peeling it off of my tongue with a snap! and tossing it onto paper and it splatters sorrow and that's how it's done, I say, that's how it's done
And I'm irrigating, pumping, installing hydraulic lifts to pull the chortles from my diaphragm in a comedic vignette for you, drenching a pad of leaflets and test margins little by little as I pull pull pull until I choke

Your beauty surrounds me by dr-who-doomsday, literature

Your beauty surrounds me
Soft, velvet wisps of hair curl across my face, their tender hands stroking my skin. Ripe, velvet lips move softly, slowly; releasing words dipped in your beautiful, musical voice. Your scent deludes me, and I can almost taste you in the air.
We have never touched, but when you lay those sweet, caramel eyes on me it seems that you are enveloping me in a bear hug. Your stare penetrates into my soul; like a spear in my heart, spreading warmth through my body. You are the very essence of my existence. Your smile gives me hope in the darkest times; you are enough to light up the world.
Without you, I ask what would I be; who would I be? And I l
I've been writing poetry for four years, and found DeviantArt as one of the best ways to express myself and receive opinions of others. I enjoy what I do and how it assists me in life. My dream is to create a collection of poetry.
Current Residence: United States Favourite cartoon character: The Sushi Pack! And TMNT.
I haven't written a journal for Deviant Art in two years. Isn't that incredible?
I can give you a brief update on myself.
I graduated! And now I get to attend more schooling, but for things I will love. I am becoming bilingual as we speak, and I now have a laptop.
I haven't yet completed my book of poetry. It's written, but not collected. It may very well never be, but poetry has gotten me to where I am today, even if it goes nowhere else.
I told myself I would quit writing poetry at age 18, I have not yet stopped. It is a wonderful thing, and a fantastic art, I don't think I CAN give it up, and looking at it now, there is no need!

Hello Hello;
Well, it feels much later than it really is.
But- it's not.
Lately, I've been extremely confused.
And I'm annoying myself.
It's really bugging me.
I'm having boy problems.
But what teenage girl doesn't?
But the thing is-
I just don't know what to DO
and I feel like I don't know much about ANYTHING.
I think too much,
I think.
Go figure.
So- I just don't know.
About the world,
about this guy,
about my family,
or my life.
Have any tips or suggestions?
Feel free to please let me know
I'm driving myself crazy.
Well- I'm not really that good with computers and technology- so I'm attempting to do as directions tell me; but..... I guess in this- I'm unintelligent. And- as long as I'm writing a journal, I guess I'll just continue for a bit with what's on my mind.
I am definately not having a good day today- and the worst part is, I'm not exactly sure why. I had a very long and tedious conversation last night- which kind of bothered me- and I had to sleep upon that; then, not to mention being bombarded with my brother's never ending pleas for awakening of the family- and the dead. But- whatever. Today is just one of those days.
