The Nights of the Lost Song

A story once was told to me
many a year ago.
It tells of love and joyfulness,
and agony and woe.

In a place, that few now know,
there could be heard a song
that filled the air on November nights,
when they turned cold and long.

They called it the Nights of the lost song
for no one knew who sang.
And on one of these November Nights,
a tragic story began.

None had been able to trace the song
to the place, from which it came,
for few was able to distinguish it
from the cold wind and the rain.

Then once a teen-aged boy was seen,
for whom no one really cared,
standing on the edge of the woods,
into the dark he stared.

For there, within, he heard a song,
a mournful woman's voice.
and his clear-green eyes with fire were filled
as he made his final choice.

As he strolled, then, into the woods,
to the song he was ever drawn,
and finally he reached a meadow therein,
in the coldness before the dawn.

And there he saw, on a little height,
amidst a globe of light,
A whiteglad girl, standing there,
singing into the night.

And when he approached her, cautiously
and finally saw her face,
in his eyes one could see the reflection of her,
he had never seen such grace.

Her voice was keen like falcon-cries,
yet wonderful and fair,
and dark-brown were her sparkling eyes
and so her silky hair.

But the girl soon felt his eyes upon her,
and her song stopped there and then.
For what she felt when she saw this boy
she would never feel again.

Nor had she felt it before, for she,
she had lived her life alone,
And within her the days before they met
an empty space had grown.

Then down from the height she slowly came,
her eyes fixed upon his,
and under the moon and the dark, sparkling sky,
she gave him a tender kiss.

And at this moment, from the open sky
a snow-crystal did fall.
On the confluence of their lips, it landed
and held the boy enthralled.

Then he look at her, and saw her heart,
and took her by the hand,
and together they walked till the break of dawn,
in this silent moonlit land.

As morning came he ask her to
join him to his home,
"Yes," she said, "of course I will".
Now she feared to live alone.

And then they walked through field and wood,
at his home they`d soon arrive,
but the place she'd left, once her home
she would never again see alive.

And so they lingered on in peace,
and the girl would sing her song.
And on the land surrounding them.
All stains seemed to have gone

And their love would keep on growing ever
as winter turned to spring,
and the land was getting ever fairer
as long as she did sing.

As summer came, the boy asked her:
"Will you be my wife
to let me love you, and love me back,
and to share my joyful life?"

The girl was thrilled beyond compare,
she could not ask for more.
"Yes", she said", "I love you now
and will forevermore".

Then they married and lived in bliss
as months still slowly passed,
Days turned cold, and seasons fell,
but their love, at least, did last

Then one day, when a year was old,
she was struck by a disease,
and with the failing light outside,
did her strength to live decrease

On that day, as snow first came,
seven years had gone,
A total silence lay on the land
for no one heard her song.

No animal was seen that day,
no bird upon the sky,
A strange sensation filled the air,
for an angel was to die.

Late that Night, when he came to her,
as she lay there on the bed,
Deep within the boy now knew,
his love would soon be dead.

And mournfulness overthrew his mind
as he touched her pale, white skin
"I leave my soul to rest in you,
and to forever remain therein."

His feet were trembling, as again he spoke,
"please, look into my eyes.
Beyond time I am bound to you,
by these countless unswerving ties."

Her silvery eyes glazed back at him,
as a smile grew on her face.
Living in her dream she died,
never to be replaced.

Gods did cry and stars grew dim,
as he saw her lose her life
The tears on his cheek did never dry.
He had lost his beloved wife.

And the boy took off, into the woods,
to live alone and weep,
and upon the sky, he sought for her,
and never went to sleep.

And every year, as October fades,
and November makes all dark,
you can see her again, upon the sky
as a small, but shining spark.

And deep in the woods, where first they met
you still may hear a song.
A man is singing of pain and grief
and of a love that is long gone.

No I’m not clean but I’m not ready to be
sorry you cant stop me from being what I believe
you may call me a freak you may say I’m insane
but I’m just a girl that needs to ease her pain
So yeah I do cut and yeah I love my blade
I’m sorry you cant stop me and that you cant heal my pain
I don’t need you to help me I don’t need you to cry
I know what I’m doing now but I’m not ready to die
You can stand back and watch I’ll show you every slice
but don’t try to pick up the pieces I don’t need you to be nice
I’ve been hurt before from people just like you
people who think they adore the girl they never knew
Yeah I’m pushing you away so please give me my space
I wont do any thing crazy like try and leave this place
I feel like I’m in a dream world floating so far away
it is just like a drug addiction guides my way
You don’t have to feel sorry or wish that things would change
I’ll still cut my wrist tonight just like I do every day
Yeah it does sound painful and yeah it sometimes bleeds
but it makes my life blissful because it calms my every need
You wish I wouldn’t do it I wish you wouldn’t cry
I guess we will never get what we wish for deep inside
You say my lives so dark now there is no color all around
well every night I add some red to this crazy black and white town
so maybe I laugh when I show you my wrist I’m just proud of what I have done
no one understands the power between my finger and my thumb
you cry like something is wrong like you didnt know it all along
but you have always known what I do when I finally get home
you scream for me to stop now you say there is to much blood
you wish you had a string to pull to undo what I just done
well sorry to disappoint you but there is no rewind
you cant just pick up a remote and magically turn back time
You say I feel so cold now to me I feel just fine
if only you knew I do this all the time
I’m becoming an expert starting to get bored
maybe I’ll start to cut where the blood will come much more
I don’t need your pity I don’t need your help
so please just leave me here so I can live my hell
I promise I’ll save you a seat if hell is really real
because alcohol does the same to you but that you will never tell
so leave me now and take your own advice
someone needs you here so please don’t say your final goodbye
don’t drink the world goodbye tonight

Heres a song i was writting

I'm drowning in ocean of self hate
I'm looking through the flaming gate
I'm listening to your silent screams
I close my eyes and begin to dream

All i see is your face
God please come and save me from this place
the memory of what you did
all the painful thoughts i thought i hid
everything is coming back to me
when you need your life,you didn't see

I'm drowning in an ocean of self hate
I'm looking through the frozen gate
I'm listening to your silent screams
I close my eyes and begin to dream

I can see your actions
Tell me though,did you get satisfaction?
I hear your screams in my soul
I need the answers to become whole
Why would you take your blade?
the memories of you will never fade

I'm drowning in an ocean in self hate
I'm looking through the flaming gate
I'm listening to your silent screams
I close my eyes and begin to dream

and i can't believe I'm admitting this
but your the one I'll always miss
I remember your blood dripping
I was there watching your skin ripping
I was there and saw your fears
I tried not to realize the end was near

I'm drowning in a ocean of self hate
I'm looking into the flaming gate
I'm listening to your silent screams
I'm closing my eyes and having this dream

So you may have left me alone
you may be gone and thats well known
you'll never be around through the seasons
tell me now did you have your reasons?
so leave me if you want
and no more memories of what i thought

i was drowning in that ocean
i was looking through that gate
i used to hear your silent screams
i have me eyes open your no longer in my dreams

what love means to me
by ashley williams

To me love is unconditional and all you need,
It can also be tough and seem like its being torn out.
Its something that everyone goes though.
Only in different ways.
If you're afraid to love because it may hurt,
That is a natural thing to us.
We go though it together.
Never keep a secret from your love one,
Sometimes it turns out bad.
Love can also be unpredictable.
It can be beautiful like rainbow,
But can also be darkness inside you.
People will always love till death do us part,
Even when you have made a wrong turn it will take its own course.
Love is always different depending on the person.

Dark water

I sit on my bed
And lay to rest
And to sleep
I try my best
But I fear the dreams
That enter my mind
I must endure this
Like all of my kind
So I will not sleep
But instead research
The hawk in my mind
On my soul, perched
It allows me to live
And won't let me die
For this hawk
Is my lie
It is October
And thus I sleep
And hopefully my soul
Is mine to keep
The hawk protects me
Keeps me safe
So I don't have to
Show my face
The feather black
The beak white
The water dark
The flower light
So I let it lay
Inside my soul
So I can sleep
On My green knoll
And
As the hawk
Sat in my mind
Its beak white chalk
Dark water dripping
Into a black rose
Ideas filling me
From head to toes
When the rose overflowed
And the water spilled
The ideas were murdered
Killed
But as the hawk
Flew away
My mind was slow
Somehow delayed
But when it came back
The water was gone
I must retrieve it
Before too long
Is it killing me
Why doesn't it finish
And my mind
Finally diminish

I tought to myself
for a minute or so
and then I decided
to let the thought go

No one could think that
not about me
how could he care
he couldnt even see

The spirit inside
was running wild
i started to cry
like a young child

I started running
I had to get away
away from the feelings
I didnt want to say

You may think Im selfish
a little to hard core
but i know who i am
im not a damn whore

Realization
Fake on the outside
no one can see
beneath all the layers
covered around me

I hide myself from you
you hide yourself from me
do we even know who we are
can this truely be

Is everyone fake
this is so sureal
i dont know who I am
what is my deal

Why do I try
to play it cool
when really im a loser
burning my own fuel

I have more fun without you
because i can relax
i dont have to hold my guns
i play it to the max

So just cill out
and have fun
be relaxed
its tons more fun

Bending The Truth (Without Breaking It)

It isn't yours,
It isn't mine,
Whip us if we're out of line,
Break our bodies and trap our minds,
Regulate us one last time.

Not ours,
Definitely not theirs,
Politicians use ice cold stares,
Bend the truth to make us scared,
No finger pointing (Bush and Blair).

Propaganda,
Feed us lies,
Ignore all of "your" peoples' cries,
One more war- no compromise,
Who cares if the innocent die,
A semi-political genocide,
Where your hatred now resides,
Strip our countries of their pride,
Lead us to the darker side,
No stopping them, though we've tried,
Bush and Tony- his blushing bride.

Cheers

UNBOUND

I look to the sky, I see you fly by
So beautiful and free, as happy as can be

I look to the ground, and see the chains
the ones that bound you, that gave you great pain

I shout to the wind, "Farewell and goodbye"
You look back at me, while I start to cry

I think about the days, the times that we shared
I remember the words, how much I cared

I remember, how new, how special to me
our relationship was, the joy it gave me

Now I see you in the distance, headed towards the sea
I whisper to you, be free, be free
At the same time, I feel alost and alone
For my life revolved around you, and you alone

I sacrificed my time, my thoughts, and my friends
For I thought it would all be worth it in the end

This isn't how I expected the end to be
I thought it would last for eternity

Right now I can't figure out a few things
Like the things you said, that you didn't mean

Didn't mean, or believe, its all the same to me
Because at the same time I listened and I believed

Then you started to change, turning angry and mean
Had I gotten too close, that you call me a fiend

I tried to listen, I wanted it to work
all you said was, "get away from me, you jerk"
here is only so much, a man can take
I think you knew this, wanting me to break

You pushed and you pushed, and finally won
I fell in the mud, and you started to run

Run away from responsibility, and lots of dedication
To the life you want, that is one giant vacation

One day you will realize, what you had, and lost
a friend who cared, and would give at all costs

Now we split, go off on our own seperate ways
And only one thing left, which I want to say

"Take care my love, once dearest friend to me
Fly off in the wind, be free, be free"

I hope it's not too late to put in poems

Childhood Gone Wrong:

Emptiness
Clouds his soul, shrouds his mind.
He cannot forget, can't help but regret
That he still has a piece of himself to find.

Where is it?
An answer perhaps he shouldn't know.
He's too insecure, not really mature,
enough to let those pathways grow.

Happiness
Takes him under, he's so overjoyed.
And yet his mind wanders, he still looks beyond her.
And he still cannot see why she's so annoyed?

Why is that?
He knows inside himself that's he's failed her.
She'll fight past the pain, she's trying to regain,
The world which - inevitably - is gone forever.

Forgotten
He's had the same chance for seventeen years.
He could have tried harder, could have gone even farther.
But instead drugs have dried his tears.

Lying broken.
He's in too far, there's no chance of escape.
He's twisted his feelings, couldn't find the meaning.
Did he really think it would help if he raped?...

............

The future?
No future remains for these two distant souls.
He wasted his life, she's turned to the knife.
As they continue to dig themselves deeper holes.

Two Souls Intertwined
by Shawn Williams

As the darkness fades and the night slips away...all I can think about is you.
On those days away...I've memorized the lines of your face...How did one soul come from two?
When your gone...I can only write sad songs...I crave to feel your arms... just me and you.
After lonely nights...I awake...hallucinate...see your name written... images in the dew.
Two souls intertwined...Two eyes one sight...I see you and I growing old...
They say loves blind...if so take my eyes...ours is the greatest love story ever told.
I have faith...that Gods grace sustains...when tough times make great love grow cold.
With storms clouds come rain...pouring trials of pain...here is my hand for you to hold...
Im your rock...your my soft spot...our foundation built on God's strength...
I know we've fought...we've yelled and mocked... to believe in us takes great faith...
But your my angel....my heavenly gift...I thirst for you...let me drink from your lips...
I take a sip and steal just one kiss...we burn eternal...our love is endless.

*Disintergrating*
As I shed a tear,
After my strength is dying faster by the year,
Nothing left to do,
Than no longer love you,

As I slip away,
After all hope is disintergrating by the day,
Nothing left I let go,
I love you is the last emotion I show,

As the tunnel darkens black,
After your love you take back,
Nothing left to build,
For I love you I killed,

As I shed a tear,
I begin to live again and finish the years,
Nothing left to do,
After I can't love you,

As I slipped away,
I realised lifes to be lived by the day,
Nothing left I can't let go,
I love you is no longer the emotion I show,

As the tunnel darkens black,
I see a light and I turn back,
Nothing left to lose,
For I love you is meant to be said by two,
But it no longer is

My Sweet Taboo

Now’s a good time
to speak the truth,
and share the feelings
that I have for you.
Better now than never,
it’s long over-due
so here I go ______,
this one is for you

Like the suns friendly ray
melting ice-caps away,
to heaven I pray
we are together one day.
As the moon in the night
Flies high and bright,
undying to you,
my heart’s delight.

Persistent and true,
are my feelings for you,
like the constant arrival
of the mornings sweet dew.
Gentle like the wind
on a breeze filled day,
blowing within,
my feelings will stay.

Engulfing my senses
like a fire a blaze
are your stunning good looks
that put me to daze
my faith in blossom,
a brand new start,
found in the dirt
is my lonely heart

Soaring above,
like a small butterfly,
free like a dove
in the endless blue sky,
It has always been love
that I see in your eyes,
and I want you to know,
that I will no longer lie.

A thick radiation
of colors so bright-
a rare creation,
like a rainbow at night.
A breath taking view
of something so unique
leaves me speechless in awe,
all I do is blink.

From the first time I saw you
it was such a delight,
your beauty was brand new,
but it was love at first sight.
Passion befriends few,
and I am lucky to have seen,
no one quite like you,
none so unforgettable to me

Your smile is perfect,
and personality is best,
your faith is attractive
and you really are blessed.
you care for the needy,
and give to the poor,
as long as I breathe,
I will care forevermore.

This is nothing more
than my sweet taboo,
I have always wondered
what it would be like to kiss you,
to hold you tight within my arms,
and keep you safe from this world of harm,
to cherish your thoughts and take care of your needs
give you my best, and be all I can be.

What I need from you
is to decipher the code,
am I just a good friend
or have I always been more?
Either way I am fine,
but I just need to know…
So I can put my mind at ease,
Or finally let go.
T.S. 07-06-05

Now They're Gone...

Watching fire burn silhouettes alight
Destruction causing chaos in withering delight
Burning to charcoal as a city stands bare
Forgotten in a world with no one to care

Bodies along the streets, dumped and dead
Twisted and broken with memories unsaid
Those that stand here in bitterness alive
Cry their tears upon the souls that died

In this game of war your brothers took part
As bombs rained down, tearing cities apart
Into the war these soldiers were born
Now their names recorded, the boys are gone...
