A world so unknown.

Vast and staring with it's curious eyes.

Opening itself up for you,

A new world to explore.

Ocean depth,

Valleys and mountains, land and sky.

But no one dare venture forward.

The depths are unknown, they cry.

We don't know what;s down there.

But a small voice speaks up,

Sounding suddenly meaningful,

Stronger then the rest.

Is the unknown necessarily bad?

How will we ever know,

If we don't take the plung now?

Take the risk.

But they just looked at that tiny voice.

Disgust and hate.

How dare anyone go against them.

So that tiny voice was banished once more,

To never being heard.

The noises blocked it out.

But some how everyone could still hear that voice.

Echoing in thier heads.

It had fallen from thier ears,

But remained with them forever.

The voice of what may have been right.

The Truth.

And that voice, it didn't just repeat what they had already heard.

It had so much more to say.

it told them that they were cowards.

That they will never know what could have been.

It was too late.

The opportunity came.

And left.

They never took it.

Too afraid. Too many fears.

The 'what if's' they said.

The 'could be's'...

They gathered together one morning.

It wasn't just one that heard that tiny voice.

They all heard.

They wanted it gone.

They wanted to prove it wrong.

So they built themselves together,

And moved away to explore.

But there was more truth in that voice then they had wanted to believe.

These measures had become closed to them.

Just like it had said.

The ocean had closed off its depths.

The valleys had vanished.

The mountains diminished.

Land swept away.

Sky became too high.

No longer did they have the chance.

They turned to that voice.

Finding it real again.

They welcomed it back.

But this time the voice wasnt shy.

Wasn't tiny.

It was louder then the rest, stronger.

They looked up to it.

Falling back at its mere shadow.

Who was this shadow that we had cast away,

Like something unwanted?

They embraced the voice.

Looked up to it, although it was nothing they could see.

Now they believed, they didn't have to see to believe.

That one tiny voice opened everything back up again.

Now they could explore.

But they looked deeper into themselves as well.

Into everything else, and one another.

They had such insight.

Never would they let it go.

They were filled with gratitude.

Loving the tiny voice, and one another.

No longer would they hate.

And the voice told them, this was the way things had to be.

So it was.

But the deeper they looked into one another,

The more they learned about them.

And they more they learned about them,

The more they hated them.

The voice reminded them that they were doing wrong.

Not to go against his word.

But they wouldn't listen.

Couldn't listen.

They were over come with hate.

Fire touched down on the land.

Warnings a light from the sky.

But still they would not listen,

Could not listen.

And the voice spoke again.

Fine, i'll let it be.

You can hate.

It will slowly destroy this world so kindly created.

But it will be only your loss.

And only you will be to blame.

They hardly listened, and chose not to believe.

The voice didn't stop them this time.

From everyone the gift to look into one another was taken away.

NO longer could they see thta deep.

But still, they hated what they already knew.

This gift was given back to only a few.

Those people with hearts in the right places,

Even if there was a little hate in them.

Then the voice disappeared.

Disgusted with the land, no longer wanting to guide it. 

It was left to those left with the gift.

But of course, the others hated the ones with something they were denied.

They were driven away.

And they cried.

This land is falling, so deep into disrepair.

No one can save them now.

They good left, or were banished.

And now this world is drifting to hell.

Those with the gift still left, they hide it.

WAtch over them without them knowing.

They have forgotten the voice that once led them.   

Maybe now you will remember.

If you look around long enough,

Search hard enough,

You might be able to find a loner with a gift.

You may be reading one's words right now...

The voice now :

It flickers behind a smile.

A smirk.

They followed him into his trap of destruction.

     A day comes. A day goes.

Time stops. Time flows.

     But my eyes are now closed.

And I don’t see it pass.

     Maybe I just don’t want to see.

I’m too busy with my fight.

     Too busy trying to get free.

Of life I’ve lost sight.

  Chorus:

     So someone send me a line.

Someone send back my life.

     I need to get back to feelin’ fine.

I’m dancing on the edge of a knife.

     I need someone to rescue me.

Is that so hard to see?

     Set me free.

 Crying alone.

Need someone I can call my own.

     Someone to bring me back to life.

Getting’ ready to pick up that knife;

     The one I’ve been dancing on.

It’s gotten to be too much, been going on too long.

     Someone come save me,

Before I set myself free.

     So someone send me a line.

Someone send back my life.

     I need to get back to feelin’ fine.

I’m dancing on the edge of a knife.

     I need someone to rescue me.

Is that so hard to see?

     Set me free.

     If this goes on,

I’ll be gone.

     I can’t avoid the inevitable forever.

Take me now, or take me never.

Now or never baby.

    Here’s your best chance.

Stab me with the edge of your lance.

     Get it over with.

     So someone send me a line.

Someone send back my life.

     I need to get back to feelin’ fine.

I’m dancing on the edge of a knife.

     I need someone to rescue me.

Is that so hard to see?

     Set me free.

     So someone send me a line.

Someone send back my life.

     I need to get back to feelin’ fine.

I’m dancing on the edge of a knife.

     I need someone to rescue me.

Is that so hard to see?

Yeah, why can't you see that?

     Set me free.

     Yeah, c'mon baby.

     Set me free.

Feeling random at the moment.

Dunno why.

^All created goes to Lee for that one^

It won't let me type right...the computer's being stupid again...o well.

     There we go, I fixed it. lol.

I hope you liked the poetry I've put in so far. There won't be as much of it for a while I'm afraid. I added a lot of the older poems that i liked, but I can't write poetry all that fast. I write when I feel like writing, otherwise it just dosn't work.

Nothing to write right now anyway...

I'm rather disapointed that no one has said much about my newer poems. Like "Someone To Be My Man" and  "Blind R Too Slow"...and some of the others. If you read them...could you add a few words. Just a few would make me happy...

Someone To Be My Man

     I told you I didn't trust you,

I said I didn't know you.

     I didn't know what you would do,

But I told you truthfully.

     Really, I didn't lie.

I was tired of lying, I didn't want one more lie.

     But I wasn;t sure what I wanted was Good-Bye.

So I told you truthfully:

     I didn;t want it to end, but maybe it should.

I wanted to see you again, but didn't know if I could.

     Give it one last chance, you said maybe you would.

     You said what will be, will be.

What happens, happens.

     Well, I just wanted to see

If there could be anymore between you and me.

     I know I wouldn't be alone for long if I let you go.

I would find someone new.

     But what could happen with us, I want to know.

...Maybe we could have flew.

     I need someone I can love, and be with all the time.

Things are about to get real hard.

     I've nearly hit rock bottom, and I'll need someone to help me with the climb.

I need a full heart, no one broken in shards.

     I'll find someone, you or not.

I hope you understand.

     I still care about you a lot.

But I need someone to be my man.

~*~Zach, I hope things work out. Whatever that may be... I'm sorry, so sorry. But at least you never cared enough to be hurting now.... ~*~

~*~reality hurts~*~

Someone

     It took a while for me to see

That someone really is there for me.

     Someone to cry with and for.

A simple hand to hold the door.

     Someone to be there for each breath I take.

Someone to say it's ok after each mistake.

     Someone to love me everyday and more.

Someone who knew me, my heart through my core.

     A tear falling slowly would be wiped away

Leading me through each painful day.

    I'll love you forever, no matter how this works out.

At least I got to see what this was really about.

    Don't cry too much for me.

Maybe in the end I will finally be free.

     I'll do everything I can do.

My heart will always be with you.

     Love runs deep.

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; Forever.

    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;  For life.

~*~ I worte this a while ago. It seems a .l.o.n.g. while ago. I thought I had that someone, but I found out I didn't. Not really. Not at all. Now I just want that someone. Maybe it really was just a dream. ~*~

Shipwrecked

     A dream lost at sea,

Beaten;

Not free.

     A future slips away;

Like night

Turns to day.

     Tears to the waves.

A life that's been saved,

     But soon lost.

She'll end it,

Dismissing all costs.

     The boat creaks beneath her,

Ocean drawing like a lure.

She seems so sure;

The ocean will pure.

     In death she will be released.

~*~It came from a dream. It means what you want it to mean. I can't see it when I close my eyes, see a lost dream. ~*~

Home

     I close my eyes

To block out the light.

     Collect my mind;

Get ready to fight.

     I open my eyes

But the angers all gone.

     Take a deep breath.

Don't know why it took me so long.

     When all I needed to do

Was see,

    & nbsp;Where home really is

To me.

     It's not where

Your poessesions are,

     Not the furniture,

Not the house, or the car.

     Home is

A feeling, your family, your friends.

     It's not something you can

Move away from, and it donsn't end.

~*~ wrote this one a while ago, after the concept of moving appeared. we're still going to, just waiting for things to sell. It could take another years~*~

Fallen

     Sometimes people just need

Someone to love.

     Nothing fancy,

Nothing sent from above.

    Sometimes it's just a smile

Or a nod of the head,

     That can change somebody's weather,

Bring them back from the dead.

     Sometimes a little sunshine,

Instead of the usual rain,

     Can create happiness;

Keep a person sane.

     But what happens;

When someone slips too far?

     Gone forever,

Fallen below the bar.

     And there's no one there to help them,

No one will lend a hand.

     It's ovious, they're falling,

Below, into the sand.

     They've fallen,

Now forever gone.

     Even though they fought so hard.

And no one could ever be as strong.

~*~one of my personal favorites for reasons I don;t even understand~*~

Wonder

     All my life I've wondered, what is it I need to do,

To find someone who will always be true.

     I dont know how much time I've still got,

But lately I've just been thinking a lot.

     Who is this person, who is just right for me?

Are the standing behind the door, or easy to see?

     Will they put thier arms around me, to tell me this is real,

That this is nothing anyone could possibly steal?

     I don't know who it will be,

My only wish is that they'd set me free.

~*~although i didn't particularly love this poem when i first wrote it, which was a long while ago, I've found some meaning in it now...this far down the road. It's a typical poem, one i didn't really fit in once upon a time.~*~

~*~entered it in the Power Of The Pen Poetry Contest. Stole second place to my astonishment...although i still don't think it's very gooD~*~

Destiny

     Some nights I sit up,

Wondering what I did so wrong,

     To be stuck in this world,

Alone for so long.

     Everytime I reach the same conclusion;

Maybe it was meant to be.

     Just like the blind,

Weren't meant to see.

     Just like the birds,

Were meant to be free.

     But I always did

Have a hard time believing in destiny.

     I find,

That somtimes,

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; You just have to believe.

~*~I like this one for some reason...I wrote it a while back to...and I still like it~*~

Keep Dreaming

     I've learned you can never let go of your dreams,

Keep dreaming, no matter how the future seems.

     Hold on tight,

So they don't fly away.

     Keep your future in sight.

Your freedom's worth the fight.

     Don't give up the chase,

Some day you'll complete the race.

     You can break those chains,

That have held you back.

     Follow the right lane,

The right track.

     Take the chance,

Break the trance.

     Your future lays ahead,

NO matter what they said.

     Take the clue,

You know you got it in you.

~*~I should read it more often...maybe I'd even start to believe it....~*~

To Fly On Golden Wings

     The Wind blows silently through the trees,

Like everything flows with such ease.

     But I know the truth -

It haunts me.

     It's so easy to see -

They must be blind - all I want is to be free.

     All I want is to fly.

I'll spread my golden wings,

And listen to the angels sing.

     All I want is to fly,

So high,

Up into that bright blue sky.

     It's simple -

'Cause I know no one's gonna cry.

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; So Goodbye.

Fading Embers

     A star so brilliant and near,

Sinking into the horizon.

     The golden flames of firelight

Dancing in the sky above the budding treetops.

    & nbsp;A single cloud glowing faint purple and pink;

A gateway to heaven I yearn to take.

     I peer down at the long shadows crossing mine,

Like fingers stretching to grip the earth.

     And the fading sunshine that falls through the trees,

Dancing on the ground, playing a familiar melody.

     The mist of the distant river,

Above the golden river.

     And as the star sinks below the horizon,

The Wind's breeze blows warmth to my face.

     The sky above is a midnight blue,

Surrounded by silver and purple edges.

     The first stars appear above me,

And a smile flickers upon my face,

     For I know the sun will rise again at

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; Dawn.

Blind Are Too Late

Sharing my time and life with tears.

I've finally got around to hopeing that the end will draw near.

I don't want to be here anymore.

Everything is closed to me, not one open door.

I raced the race, and came in last.

Everyone just blew right past.

I've tried my best,

But I'm ready to move west.

I'm sick of the pain, sick of the rain, sick of this chain.

I've nothing left to gain, it's driving me insane.

I can finally take a stand.

I found the answer, it's right here in my hand.

A glinting sliver of metal, a knife.

The perfect thing to end a life.

I'm hanging right one the edge,

Pencil in hand, I write out my last message.

To those of you who are blind,

I give you a reason to want to see.

You couldnt see the sighn,

And now a young girl will never be free.

She lived her life in pain.

She held it in for you. She protected you.

So they put her in chains.

She could have flew.

She saved you, and you could have saved her.

But all people are blind, and no one could see.

Her intentions were pure.

But that girl is gone, and that girl was me.

Liguid appearing, blood red.

It's a simple equation that will produce: dead.

The blood is coming out in a flow.

Would I have made it? I already know.

The answer is a simple no.

I dont have to hurt anymore.

I found the very last door.

I find a simple answer.

My vision is beginning to blur.

An easy, quick way to die.

I shout out one last good bye.

At last someone hears me, and comes at a run.

But the blind are too late, too slow, my life's already done.

No longer do i have to lack.

My new favorite color is black.

~*~life is too much, and I know a way out~*~

~*~two nights ago i found enough rope in my closet to do it a different way. I nearly did, just so I'd never have to come out, and back to *them* again.~*~

~*~would it be worth it~*~

    ~*~?~*~

My Own Light

     The rain splashes the ground.

Looking up it's like the world's spinning around.

It falls upon my upturned face.

Following each other down, an endless chase.

They mix and cover my tears.

I just wish they could cover my fears.

The sun won't be shinning this time.

Lightening threatens to seperate the clouds.

Thunder rolls, deep and loud.

It masks my screams.

Everything is in turmoil it seems.

My life, the sky.

We bothe seem to lie.

The sun won't be shinning this time.

But isn't it true -

It might not be shinning for me, but maybe it is for you.

I know it's shinning for someone else, some other place today.

It just dosn't know how to reach my way.

I'll find my own light.

I don't give up the fight.

Sun, you don't need to shine for me tonight.

The light of the moon is enough for me.

Without you, I can stil see.

I love the wind and the rain.

I can stand the hurt and the pain.

I'll stand as hard and cold as stone.

Still alone.

The moon will light my path tonight.

But if this light ever stops,

And into blackness I drop,

I can live in the dark.

I'll kindle the last spark.

I'll burn the flame that light's my heart.

I'll knock the sun right off the chart.

I don't need anyone tonight.

Mustang Cowgirl

I'm somenody's trouble.

A cowgirl who's never seen Texas.

Someone you don't wanna mess with.

Rough, tough, and ready to ride.

From me no one can hide.

I'll be the girl in your dreams.

Innocent; it only seems.

With me there's more then meets the eye.

Appearances lie.

I'll watch your back, and mine.

But don't be mistaken, I'm not all that kind.

Never without a trick up my sleeve.

You get in my way, I'll make you leave.

I know how to fight.

My touch isn't always light.

I know things nobody knows.

One of the last desparados.

Trouble in my eyes, and pain in my heart.

An actress who knows how to play her part.

A fooler of the crowd.

So different she shouldn't be allowed.

A heart turning a shade of cold.

A life's story that will never be told.

So let these memories hang.

Don;t forget this

     mustang.

~*~this is me. take it or leave it. like it or i don't. i'm not changin for anyone~*~

Maybe

Maybe if I believed you when you lied

Maybe if you listened when I cried

Maybe if i loved you a little more

Maybe if you loved me a little less

Maybe if i had let you in, opened a door

Maybe,

     Just Maybe,

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; We wouldn't be in this mess.

~*~to someone, guess who~*~

Let Me Go

     I'm not one of those girls who wants to be held down.

I love to laugh, and I hate to frown.

     Maybe there once was really a smile on my face.

Sadness and pain took it's place.

     It was fake any way.

Maybe I'll get a real one someday.

     I'm gonna ask you to set me free.

You;re the one with the keys.

~*~ not gonna even ask you to guess. ~*~

Live For The Moment

    & nbsp;   We talk about forever

When we only have today.

    & nbsp;   We dream to see the world,

When we can't even find out way.

    & nbsp;   We have to live for the moment

Cause in the end

It's in the ground we'll lay

    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;  Live for today.
