    Don't Speak

    Since the day our eyes met,
    I knew it was so.
    You don't have to speak,
    To say, "Friend, hello".

    I met your sudden gaze
    With an anxious smile.
    The other girls told me,
    You were in denial.

    No friends to be found,
    Lost in the days,
    Of your witty speech
    And wise ways.

    You discovered my self,
    With some dismay.
    You thought me quite strange,
    But we were okay.

    You don't have to shout
    Because I'm a freak
    We both know my dialogue:
    "Friend, don't speak."

    ~ Dont Speak ~

    Sitting; Admiring an angel.
    An extreme triumph for god,
    Watching him dress himself slowly
    Floating on a high of love.

    Crouches down; Knee level.
    A soft kiss upon my head
    Steps back up, level with heaven
    Stares into my eyes as he joins me in bed.

    Whisked of my feet from butterflies,
    Right arm wraps me up tight.
    Leans over to my face,
    The most pleasant experience in life.

    Repetitively kissing velvet lips upon mine.
    Hand massages my face
    Blue eyes glaring with passion
    I could be in no better place.

    A smile enlightens my world,
    Your heartbeat making mine weak.
    Beginning to talk i put my hand on your mouth,
    'Shh, my love don't speak'.

    Artificial Sweetner.

    "The moutains melt like wax before the LORD"
    His faithfulness, his holiness, it lies within his word.

    And, victory is mentioned a million times and one -
    what's the use in trying, we already know he won.

    Chores upon chores rise up, completely breaking ice,
    "honor thy parents" seems extremely too nice.

    And, demons mention thoughts deep within my mind,
    making it even harder to answer questions we can't seem to find.

    Artificial sweetner, that's what shall call the LORD,
    since his faithfulness, his loiness, only lies within his word.

  • Teria

    Underneath It All.

    Feelings of hatred calmly stay in the back of my mind,
    and love slowly rises - leaving my body so far behind.
    with thoughts of suicide and a bottle half mass,
    it just can't be true - you're not that type.
    Changing so fast, you're missing out on beauty.
    ruining a life of peace and calmness with me.

    Underneath it all it's really true love -
    broken by a bond of friendship.
    unknown to only you, open to the world.
    how love truely exists in my heart -
    and how it's horridly tearing us apart.
    because I can't deal with this -
    not this kind of change.

    It ruins all hope of everything I dreamt,
    thought it's not just about me-
    and I honestly realize that,
    but it's not all about you, darling.
    For, it takes two to tango-
    and one to change too rapidly.

    Underneath it all it's really true love-
    broken by a bond of friendship.
    one that should have last forever,
    just as we both promised.
    My darling, it's the truth - I swear.
    But, I can't deal with this kind of change.

    Though it's not all about me,
    and I honestly ralize that,
    but it's not all about you, darling.
    For it takes two to tango-
    and one to change too slow.
    I guess that one's me. . .

    Don't Speak

    Turn your head away once more
    Fill my mind with twisted lies
    You can't even look me in the face
    As tears fall from wretched eyes

    Feeble excuses fall effortlessly
    Trying to explain why you're late
    Only, I followed you tonight
    Know that you were on a date

    So don't even bother to lie
    Just turn and walk away
    Wont listen to lies no longer
    It's time to call it a day

    Pleading wont change my mind
    No longer will I be so weak
    Sorry darling, but we're over
    Words wont help, don't even speak

    You made your bed, so lie in it
    But know you'll be lying there alone
    Gonna be strong, and make it through
    Your heart is no longer my home.

    *Tragic kingdom*

    Crimson were the clouds,
    decorating severed sky
    of diffused whispers that talked
    about horrors of tragic kingdom.

    On the throne the Black Lord seated,
    killing given promises,
    turning every smile to catastrophe,
    rising the corpses to attack again.

    It's over, it's over-
    shrieks came from the bridge,
    yet in the misty light
    major martyr returned to his dungeon.

    Thorns were watered with fresh blood,
    born at the moment- the first angel
    was sent to graveyard, dead while words
    of the fallen completely faded.

    -It's never really over-
    echo came from the god of mischief,
    in muddy vortex whole world will perish;
    but the tropes still walk, piercing the conscience.

    Every thought that he carved
    in the heart of her mesmerizing entity
    now is remade in poisoned smoke;
    and he suffocates, suffocates... always deficiently.

    From the castle the order is announced-
    each part of the kingdom shall be burned!
    Now the fires insatiably take
    pronounced oaths and wounds of blazing tragedy.

    The sorrow painted over reborn meadows;
    red beast won't take away the pain that's given
    unsuccessful was his endanor,
    the soul won't be rinsed with flame.

    Snakes

    Hearing hisses of those silent killers
    that dwell in grass in my lungs,
    feeling hisses of those silent predators
    and I am falling fast.

    Falling fast...

    Bells sing awful melodies to my fragile ears
    reminding me on all that I've done,
    reminding me on my sins.
    On the screen the teeth of apathy dangled.

    Falling fast...
    Falling fast...

    Matter of fact, I was the snake once
    in my beautiful, dreadful last life
    but I don't believe in reincarnation anymore
    so I ended up falling fast.

    Falling fast...
    Falling fast...
    Falling fast...

    and I laughed at my funeral.

    Six feet under -lyrics-

    I was buried alive, six feet under
    and my cries went unheard,
    I was buried alive, six feet under
    can't let my soul fly like a bird.

    My heart will go insane
    when someone mentions your name
    and I'll go somewhere far
    just to find out who you really are.

    Oh my lord, oh my Lucifer
    now I'm totally lost
    Oh my savior, oh my killer
    I payed the ultimate cost.

    I want to tell you the truth, girl
    now that we're alone
    you've always been my whole world
    you stand by me like a stone.

    I was buried alive, six feet under
    and my cries went unheard,
    I was buried alive, six feet under
    can't let my soul fly like a bird.

    Deep inside my crystal shell
    I knew that this won't go well
    so I decided not to tell
    that my soul will now rest in hell.

    Mystify bridges where we danced
    where shadowed demons pranced,
    I held your hand, I pulled you near
    just to wipe away your tear.

    I want to tell you the truth, girl
    now that we're alone
    you've always been my whole world
    you stand by me like a stone.

    I was buried alive, six feet under
    and my cries went unheard,
    I was buried alive, six feet under
    can't let my soul fly like a bird.

    "Under Construction"

    Zoom in.

    Little yellow hats sit
    On the heads of little men,
    As they race around the chambers
    And build the walls up once again.

    “Please excuse the mess,”
    Several orange signs say,
    As the whining drills spin ‘round
    And the hammers pound away.

    Rubble and debris
    On what used to be a floor,
    But since the slight disaster,
    My heart is nothing more.

    Blood is flowing freely
    Down the fault line in the base,
    Just another scar
    That I can’t possibly erase.

    Zoom out.

    I whisper out so quietly,
    Surviving mass destruction,
    “My heart cannot yet love you,
    It’s closed down for construction.”

    Big and red and pulsing,
    An oddly broken shape,
    A heart inside an open chest,
    Wrapped in caution tape.

    [end]

    poem #2

    "Just A Girl"

    I am just a teenage girl,
    whose words attempt to change the world.
    And if you doubt me, i'd agree,
    this change will take much more than me.
    That's why i ask, heart beating strong,
    if you would join me, come along.
    Take a journey through your heart,
    for that is where the change must start.
    I hope that with my poet lines,
    you find meaning in my rhymes.
    i hope, inside you, you will find,
    a place to let your dreams unwind,
    now share them with this teenage girl,
    whose words attempt to change the world.

    But if all i am is just a girl,
    how can just i change the world?
    I may be strong, intentions pure,
    but i will need some help for sure.
    For nothing's simple, nothing's right,
    nothing stops the dreaming night.
    But I need hope, i must beleive,
    That nothing's to big to achieve!
    But for JUST a girl and JUST her dream,
    this tasks proves harder than it seems.
    For now i'm just a teenage girl,
    Whose words attempt to change the world.
    And-
    this poem's interrupted.

    Cellophane Boy

    Transparency's cruel
    A game for two
    Cellophane boy
    And boy number two

    With nothing to live for
    And nothing to gain
    He's just part of the crowd
    On woodwork he reigns

    Look right through him
    There's nothing to see
    Somebody's a word
    That he'll never be

    A heart of gold that
    Like sand slips through
    Cracks, into void
    Of dark black and blue

    He's wrapped in paper
    That chokes him to death
    Unforunately its never
    His last dying breath

    'Cause immortality comes
    And takes him away
    From the hope of just
    Disappearing one day

    Transparency's cruel
    Not a game, not a toy
    It's a life of agony
    For a cellophane boy

    If it is ok with you I changed one of my titles from "Spiderwebs" to "Trapped In A Box"

    Trapped In A Box

    Grasped upon desire of a melodic fortune,
    Wings of a butterfly tied within sorrow,
    Halo of fire holds the scent of burnt dust,
    Whilst mummers linger in the depths of a cage,
    Wings of rust shall bend with metal pliers,
    Digesting all but two swollen eyes.

    Captive inside a box entwined with pearls,
    Ruby's with Sapphire overlooked by emerald,
    Diamonds which glisten upon a ring of gold.
    Dressed in a gown which portrays her beauty,
    Though plastic she lays upon pedestals of hope,
    Awaiting the time to dance once again.

    Prison of velvet sits quietly within sleep,
    Darkness sinks though brightened upon opening,
    For the angel which spins in tune with melody,
    Has one chance to shine whilst viewing around,
    Living her dream of one day walking alone,
    She is a caged fairy inside of a jewelery box.

    Start The Fire

    Start The Fireby SlaveToTheMusic

    Volcanic eruption holds the scent of burnt atmosphere,
    Start the fire; Were the words she once whispered,
    Flames shall roar upon the soul of bitter remorse,
    As lava over flows drenching the heart with embers,
    Capturing desired love burning within the ashes,
    Releasing a romance played out by natures force.

    Start the fire; were the words she once whispered,
    Though I doubt she ever knew with drawl felt like ice,
    Vivid eyes of purple lay upon the glacier of love,
    Violet shows new color mixed with crystal tears,
    Drenched within an iceberg a frozen heart burns
    For this blazing ocean holds another volcanic eruption.

    Open the Gate

    by DarkSpirit

    We''ll meet the gallows
    under torrid sky,
    we'll encounter monsters
    which are reflections of our actions, maybe;
    but attraction to the depths of volcano
    and charisma of the waters in which we swim
    are enough to charm the soul,
    to connect the lights of outer world
    in the frame of abstract magician's dimensions.

    Completely lost, we dance
    through the labyrinth, in the garden of music;
    on the brink of the worlds we kneel,
    kissing beautiful goddess, we dream.
    Patterns on skin guide us,
    we sell our souls to the Devil
    just to, through the bars
    stare in wonders sculptured by imagination.
    We steal emeralds from nymph's neck.

    The universe is embodied,
    warrant announced;
    it's certain- we'll meet the gallows,
    under torrid sky;
    yet, we don't care-
    we'll watch the fire
    and live through every flame,
    and avidly we drink from the store of inspiration,
    hugging red-eyed creatures, we dream.

    Please, open the gate
    for the last time,
    I want to fly through the expanses of unknown;
    we hide sanity somewhere where we won't look,
    and again, celebrate coming home,
    absorb energy of the words
    which she restlessly repeated;
    phantoms are in our eyes, stunningly divine...
    ... so alluring is walking above the clouds,
    while we throw away the torches...

    Comforting Lie

    I rip my heart wide open,
    So you can sew it up,
    I`m laying here hoping,
    You have what I need.

    Tears fall down on the bed,
    As I listen to you breathe;
    Indoctrinating my spinning head,
    With comforting lies tonight.

    You say I`m just what you need,
    That everything will turn around,
    My breaking heart starts to bleed;
    It can`t keep up with this pressure.

    There`s an easy way out,
    An exit just to the right,
    But this, without a doubt,
    Is what I bargained for.

    I needed a beautiful liar,
    And you fit the part,
    With matching attire;
    You bury me in a comforting lie.

    Spider Webs

    It`s a funny thing, when two friends become more,
    And suddenly, they`re different than they were before,
    Spinning a web of intricately planned lies, they laugh,
    As they carefully, with poise, rip your insanity in half.

    The things they do, what they say, it`s all pre-planned,
    And they know their lines like the back of their hand,
    They`re dealing with vulnerability, a sure-fire win,
    But the spider webs are encasing their pale skin.

    Sneaking around into the dead of every still night,
    They toy with loneliness, thinking it`s so right,
    Seeking comfort within a lie they carefully spun,
    No regrets, all they know to do now is run.

    But when the ceramic lights burn out on their past,
    Reality will blind them, shine through at long last,
    The nights will be as lonely as they ever were,
    They`ll drink away their pain, life will be a blur.

    Breaking free of the spider webs holding them back,
    They`ll soon find everything that they once lacked,
    `Cuz there`s a big difference between love and lust,
    But along the way, they lost rationality in the dust.

    -Jenna Elphick
    November 3, 2007

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If this is confusing, it is about a teen couple thinking they`re in love that runs away and forgets about where they came from and who they were. Blinded by lust, they lose it all and end up lost looking for faith, they lost their rationality in the dust along with everything else and are left with nothing and no one because of the lies they spun to get away from it all in the first place.
