~Cardboard Guitar~

Sitting here
Watching the stars
Wishing you were near
With my cardboard guitar

Taking it hard
Not wanting to breakdown
Taking my guitar made of cardboard
And cutting it for I have outgrown

Loving you is what I know
Loving you is what I want the most
For all we have been through
You'd think we'd be close

But you left me
For another man
Why did you flee?
I thought we had a plan

A plan to make a life together
A plan to get married
Even your brother
Agreed, but I guess your view varied

I sit all alone
Day and night
Feel like I'm unknown
And have no might

Sitting here
With a glock
As I feel a tear
I pull the trigger

And down I go
Falling to the ground
What a show
You happy now that I'm not around?

(9)Tears

She looks at him now
So quiet and calm
Her hand grasping his
Caressing his moist palm

They walk in the night
Gazing at the stars
One feeling so perfect
The other coping with scars

She glances at him
Stars reflect in her eyes
He stares back at her
Not wanting to make her cry

He stops his motion
Looks at her shining face
He knows this will hurt
He doesn't want her heart to break

I can't do this anymore
Can't you see I'm in misery?
I can't be the man
That you wish for me to be

Holding onto you seems so wrong
I know you deserve better
That's why I've stopped my calls
That's what happened to my love letters

Telling you I love you
Isn't telling how I really feel
We must stop living in this fantasy
Our world isn't real

Her breathing has ceased
She doesn't know what to do
How can you do this to me?
Can't you see I love you?

This can't be the end
We're perfect you and I
How can you easily do this?
Do you enjoy making me cry?

He grabs her arms
But she tears away
Get off of me
I've nothing else to say

She's runs off in the night
Hot tears burning her eyes
I can't believe he did this
I can't believe he could tell a lie

He watches her shrinking form
Tears welding in his eyes
How could I've done that?
I can't believe I just messed up my life

~Behind My Shield (6)~

I feel disconnected,
like a plant uprooted.
Thought I was good,
but was not the best suited.

Swept off my feet,
like a leaf off its tree.
How things have changed,
now the rest, memories.

Why did I miss out,
what didn't I see?
Could things have differed,
if it weren't me?

I used to be great,
the best of the field.
What has happened to me,
and the weapons I'd wield?

Now, that I am disarmed,
and left unprotected,
this mirror emits
an unfamiliar reflection.

A person unknown,
to my family and friends.
A person alone,
the means to an end.

The end of all arguing,
and upset in life,
I've changed my ways,
without the help of a knife.

Why is this not enough
for all of you to see,
that I want my own life,
without the help of therapy?

Peeling Wallpaper (2)
No.Need.For.A.Name.

I'm peeling like wallpaper
Layers of consciouson the ground
Tear it down rip it off
My mind will be drowned

I'm peeling like wallpaper
Dignity and soul all gone
Truth is an annoyance
For it is never wrong

I'm peeling like wallpaper
All I have said and done
Gone into the wind
To afraid of the sun

I'm peeling like wallpaper
And for that I am thankful
These lies would intoxicate
And eventually engulf

~Duct Tape Heart~ (17)

He didnt give a damn about her
She only wanted to make his dreams come true
She did everything she could for him
and the only thing she wanted was to hear the words " I love you"

He'd come home drunk at 4 a.m.
purfume on his chest
Just the fact that he came home
all she felt was truely blessed

Those were the nights
She tried to hide her tears away
for today wasn't that bad
and tomorrow would bring a brand new day

He could hear her silent crys
yet he'd never stop
she was just another girl
that he had got knocked up

as she sits holding her head
as the tears fall like rain
She just sat there praying to
god to take away her pain

"Dear God, please let him love me
Please let him treat me good
Please let me be the one
he holds in his arms, if you only could

Please let him need me
Please let him never part
and Dear god, most of all
please fix my duct tape heart?"

shadows

Deep under the earth
Through a burrowed door
Shadow feet spin weightlessly
Across leaf scattered floors

Ceiling boards of gnarled roots
Fungi of unhealthy sheens
Fairy-like lights twinkle
Pastel pinks and greens

Silhouettes of blue and black
Painted on the wall
Graceful shadow dancers
Together for their ball

Swirls of fine shadow gowns
As partners move in time
To their own silent music
To their soundless beat and rhyme

Hair fans out as they leap
But never do they collide
Passing through each other
To return to their partner's side

Silhouetted formless faces
Devoid of identity
Shadows of the departed
Dance for all eternity

#10 Nightmare

5 (O) clock in the morning
& i hear a knock at my door
so pleased to see Satan
standing at the entrance floor

i realized that its time to go
so i quickly picked some pictures
kept them inside my heart
and flew away from this living curse

green valley and a ocean of wine
so excited to realize, this all is now mine
as i walked, mystified with nature's beauty
i asked myself, if this is the place we all want to be?

from further down the path i heard noise
as i came closer i got so shocked to see
Morpehus, Satan, Peter all sitting together
playing cards and were just waiting for me

so i jumped in & started playing
forgot about the place down below
where for my soul people were praying
death could be so fun, i never believed so

after a while i started wandering again
and i saw a big screen in a wide ground
today they were showing my funeral
and i could feel those unheard sounds

my love was standing near my clay
just staring at my numb face
i could feel she has so much to say
but for now she has lost the race

sometimes some visions do scare
so confused to name this one
a sweet dream or a nightmare
i hope to breathe again, when all this is done

Starry Night by dhaval
I don’t know how to begin;
This night seems to wash away all sin.

It’s a full moon night,
And the moon is bright;
My thoughts are flooded by this light-
So pure, so white

I look at the moon and now I smile,
After a long time I feel I’m alive.
The cool breeze brushes my face,
After a long time I’m out of the daze.

I just want to fall into the sky,
But not because you’ve told me goodbye;
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to die,
I just want to get near the moonlight.

I stare upwards at the moonlit sky,
And now I begin to fly;
I begin to sail higher,
The moonlight soothes my inner fire.

Though I hardly get closer,
That little is enough to inspire.

Not you and not even your kiss,
No sunset, no rainbow, is prettier than this.
Now I feel joy, and now I feel bliss!
You’re not there, but there is nothing I miss.

The sun’s never made the sky brighter,
Even angels cannot make it whiter.
About you I think not, I’m no liar-
I just want to keep going higher!

A cloud now covers the beautiful moon,
I’m in a trance, and I drift to a swoon.

But the breeze picks up and the darkness dies,
And once again I begin to fly;
I’m not thinking about you, this isn’t a lie,
Without you too, I’m so high.

But now my mind begins to worry,
The moon shall begin to wane in a hurry;
But I’m not scared of losing the moon,
I’m afraid of falling back into gloom.

For when the moon will set, the light shall end,
And my thoughts shall break free;
Into the world, gloom’s all I’ll send,
Because that’s all I’ll have with me.

Now let me take you into my soul,
Isn’t the moon so full and whole?
But if you want to know what is contrast,
Then just have a look at my broken heart.

The moon doesn’t always shine,
Yet it shall always be;
I cannot call you mine,
Still you shall stay in me.

27)Reflection in the Water

I cherish your distaste,
Regardless of the pain,
Water trickling alone,
Heart bleeding through the rain,

Nothing can erase,
The lightning in the hills,
White slitted in the mist,
Yet quickly darkness fills,

I took your hand in mine,
When you feared for life,
One you 'love' cared not,
Of symbolic tears of strife,

I let you breathe with him,
You made your decision,
When I found your lies,
I tell of my incision,

You'd die before we break,
From friend to 'friend' I say,
I would've believed these words,
If I didn't die today,

The ice inside your heart,
Froze me forever in time,
Your happiness more important,
So it's ok you commit the crime,

I was hung for your deceit,
Electrocuted for your lies,
Shot through the heart,
Because you let us die.

LAst time I said my poem was crap I won 1st!!!....lmao
But i do think this isnt as good as i can do....i dunno.
anyway good luck fellow poeters
~Emma

gr8 start everybody keep em comming!

Hold Me (#24)

I laugh when you tell me your silly jokes
I smile because I know you will never make me cry
I always can cheer up because you give me hope
And when you hold me, I can almost touch the sky

The way you show me you love me
Makes you the one I adore
You catch me when I'm truly falling
And save me from the hardwood floor

I love the way you laugh
I can hear it from your chest
When I fall asleep in your lap
I let out the faintest breath

I love you and I can't help it
You're in my heart forever more
You cannot stop me, I've been longing
To let these passionate feelings soar

I don't mind if you don't love me
I will still love you so
My love for you is never ending
You're the best friend I've ever known

Today I can't see you, for you're millions of miles away
But in my heart and soul I can hear you calling
And I'm falling
More in love each and every single day

So tell me, won't you hold me
So I can touch the sky?
I want to feel your heart beating
I can feel our God-given souls intertwined

(7) Waiting by the Phone

You're one of those guys who don't like any rules
You're the bad boy type "who dont need fancy schools"
I'm one of those girls who never does anything wrong
I'm the goody twoshoe type who studies all day long

You're the type of guy who comes in and out of town
You're one of those guys who say "i'll see you around"
I'm the type of girl who always has a plan
I'm one of those girls who only needs a man

You said you called so i waited by the phone
I knew you would call, i would not be alone
But i guess i was wrong this time
you'll be sorry when i no longer call you mine

Thank you for showing me that i deserve better
But since you dont call i have written you this letter
I hope you get this before its to late
Not liked you truely loved me or thought i was your soul mate

18. Heartbeat

I wish you never smiled at me,
or even said hi,
I wish I never said I cared,
I wish that I could lie.

I wish you would have left me alone,
when I said I needed a break,
I wish you didn't say you couldn't live without me,
I wish you thought I was fake.

I wish you never cared for me,
never saw my eyes,
I wish you would have went away,
never heard my cries.

I wish God didn't give me you,
or even let me see,
That you are everything that I want,
With you I want to be.

I wish I hadn't pushed you away,
Until you finally said no,
I wish I would have stopped you,
when you were about to go.

I wish I wouldn't have fallen in love,
you swept me off my feet.
I wish I wasn't broken,
but a broken heart continues to beat.

Turtle
By: Poonam

walk through life at a chosen speed
pick your sights and smells
running faster than the fastest train
what will you miss when you fast forward rain

turning slower and small steps to a turtles
living within its own shell watching the world
seeing the life around him, the burning sand
whitewashed with the rays of the sun
or the cooling ocean water that connects all the world

the slower he walks the more he sees
all that there is to perceive
about all the world round
speeding up destroy the sound
of the seagulls chirping across the sky
and the roar of the water loving the sand

tell me would you that the life were a blur
or distinct and clear to forever remember

i guess italian...

Hand in Hand (Acrostic) (30)

Holding you tight
And not wanting to let go
Nothing can stop my love for you
Down to earth is what you are

I Love you
Now, never leave

Hand in hand
A long comes a shooting star
Nothing is more beautiful on this night than you
Don't ever leave me, I just want to hold your hand

~What's That Smell (21)~

I've had problems with gas in the past.
Sometimes, they just slip out too fast.
Spent many a hours, clenching my bowel,
but sometimes, you just gotta rip a**.

When I was younger I was often harassed,
because of the smell of the gas that I passed.
I tried holding it in, I still couldn't win,
I often passed gas in the front of the class.

One time, in the hall, I delivered a pass.
On the way there I was moving too fast.
I dropped to my knees, and felt the warm breeze,
but what came out, was more than just gas.

The wet ones are most definitely the worst,
they come by surprise and never come first.
Without any warning, feeling, or sign,
you feel a tremble, a gurgle, and then a quick burst.

So when you're out with your friends the next time,
don't worry, fart freely, farting is no crime.
But, always remember, yes please don't forget,
farting is poetic, what stinks is the rhymes.

~Sean Dohr~

~Temptation For Suicide (26)~

Blood drips from my veins,
like rain from the sky.
Hits the carpet like a waterfall,
sitting here, waiting to die.

I start bleeding profusely,
after one last slit.
My body starts to shiver,
my brain and heart start to quit.

I can feel the blood dripping,
not just on the floor.
It's running down my arm,
can't feel pain anymore.

My eyes close and re-open,
now I can't see.
My body is breaking down,
there is nothing left of me.

I try to stand, but I can't,
and crash down to the floor.
Now, I start to see things,
I've never seen before.

A bright light and a hand,
that is held out toward me.
I think to myself, is it God,
no way, it couldn't be...

...could it?

~Sean Dohr~

*25*

Taste of Blood
(sequel of *Silent One*)

silent one, how does it taste?

shh, be quiet, drink so it doesn't waste

the blood of a young girl

don't drink so fast, you'll hurl

the taste is sweet

nothing else can compete

please let me be

no hurry, we must leave

why, silent one, why do we flee?

if we stay, we will no longer be

where do we go?

somewhere dark, you know
Now hurry, we must be gone

I'm coming oh Silent One.

hey is it a problem that mine doesnt completely rhyme. i have a few rhymes in there but its not the whole thing

urs rhymes wat r u talking about?
~*Who Cares?*~

Cough In The Distance
--------------------------------

Who's there?
Who's there?
Leaving footprints on my soul
The cough in the distance
I'm not in control

What's that?
What's that?
Carving knives into my bone
The cough in the distance
Yet, I'm still alone

Why me?
Why me?
The laugh that shatters dreams
The cough in the distance
Break me at the seams

Tear me apart, an innocent foal
Leaving bloody footprints, across my quaking soul

Rip me to shreds, freezing heart of stone
Carving metal knives into my whitened bone

Force me to my knees, listen to my screams
You're sinister laugh, shatters broken dreams

Soon as I reach the point, of ultimate decay
The cough in the distance, slowly fades away . . .

Peace. [Sole]
