Ruby slippers took her home
A wish, a prayer, a breath
An ethereal nod from her shadow-mate
Just a whisper, nothing less.

Life is made of
things to be
and memories
you've given me the memories
none can take away
But what of things to be?
We know what could be
We know what should be
Accept what will be.

What happened to me(us)?
Am i jealous?Whats there to be jealous of?
Are you happy?Well then I guess thats enough.
Am I lonely?I guess I could be.
Will you hold me?No,not happily.
Am I being nosy?I'm so sorry to pry.
AM I dying?I didn't mean to cry.
I am sorry to bother.I know you don't care.
I don't know why I chose you.I just guess you were there.

My wish came true
It's not hope
it's a wish
I never thought it is impossible
I never thought it would not happen
Eight Years
I waited
Eight Years
You never vanished from my thoughts.
And now the time
has finally arrived
You're beside me
No longer in my dreams.
i know it's you and me
Forever

My hands are soiled.
It was raining and I must have fallen. My jeans are torn.
I wish I could remember what happened.
The cut on my knee is bleeding and full of dirt.
I pour disinfectant on it, wishing it would work on my soul.
My body is young, but my heart is old.

Kaleidoscope Glasses
May the pieces of glass
be shoved in your eyes-
They're worthless anyhow.
Mustache of roses,
honey-coated tongue,
and you wear kaleidoscope glasses.
An illusion, magic trick,
but the 3-D film ONLY works
when you put on the shades.
A decoration, adornment,
only meant for beauty-
Then again, you're a picture show resident.
Music box in your ear
and kaleidoscope glasses;
Ornaments of fools.

Don't you See?
Don't you see the pain I feel?
Upon my heart so there and real.
You strike these words to my way.
I cry and hope they leave someday.
Don't you see that I do care?
The hate you give just is not fair!
Felt bad for things I did not do.
Well, that's all the thanks I get from you!
Don't you see you have my heart?
The hate should leave so love can start.

The Truth about my Mom
My mom stinks bad, she's rather sad
She doesn't take baths, so she has to deal with our wrath
She's really old and somewhat bold
She got on a table and danced in the stables
My dad saw her and growled with a grrr
We know what went on and what's going to be on
Nine months later, here I come
—*—
Stuck here in my gilded cage
Bitter sweet, with a silver rage,
At the last toll of heavens bell,
Nothing but a fallen angel
Surfing the fires of Magellan's belt,
To far strung in an icy fear's melt,
Riding the maelstrom of life's grace
A bending stance, in woe to face
The fortune of the last hand delt,
To forever be a fiery angel.
—*—
The tides of time have tossed my heart,
always breaking in the end.
But then, I am returned to the sea to swell again
To roll and crest under the warmth of the sun.
Giving life to the journey,playing the moon
You have come to me
Another heart embraced by the tides of time.
Tina
—*—
I am so vunerable, open, to every cut.
The venom seeping later.
You are cold.
Shut off to me...
To them...
To die all alone
You never see

i express myself through lyrics of the damned
and the lyrics came from my heart
i express myself though i'm sure noone understands
because this world was cruel from the start
—*—
Life's dark walls surround me-
Suffocating and suppressing.
Cold, lost, and confused,
I search fo rthe exit to this maze.
The twisting, turning walls,
Leading me nowhere.
Looking for a path-
Nowhere to be found.
Alone and lonely,
Trying to escape,
Escape from this depth of darkness
In the long and winding maze of life.
—*—
be it presumptious of me
i flew into your heart
be it delirious of me
i loved you from the start
be it unheard of for me
you held me in your arms
be it the normal for me
my world was torn apart
—*—
If I could only understand the WHY and the HOW
for every thought and every move
then I could do it all.
I could understand everyone, always.
But, I would miss the excitement involved in the search.
Isn't the Learning the fun of Knowing?
Is it worth it to miss all that?

Lost in thought
My mind flew away
With the wind.

And it came to me from
Underneath my skin.
Silent voices flutter past
I ask myself,
"How much longer will this last"?
Unwillinly my mind has been placed
In the clouds.

from a porthole in my thoughts
i hear muffled sounds
and see blurry shadows
i'm inside a vaccume

hearing them scratch my surface
watching them watch me
and not see a thing
they chalk me up to
that nice girl
i'm that nice girl

May I find someone someday
Who'll run with me and play
Who'll love me everyday
Someone I can kiss
And be kissed by
Someone I can say I love you to
And they say the same without incouragement from me
Is there someone for me
I began to think not
I feel so alone
What can I do?

Dancing in the twilight
silver droping to worship
at my feet.
The blue familiar the comforting.
Concrete dreams and glass relationships
always found ways to shatter and build themselves.
By white
By orange
they managed to find their way.
Our moments together are wearing thin.
I never thought i'd have no control
when it comes to leaving you.
I'll share a few more secrets
and some moods.
Then bless me with memories.
Together we created my solitude.

Twilight Eyes
Beware of twilight eyes
Their evil in disguise
The ones you love will die
The bloody moon will cry
The old will then die young
The infants will be hung
The sky will split in two
One side black, the other blue
In time, time will stop
And the lifeless sun will drop
Into the depths without light
Leaving the Earth in eternal night...

Life is Precious
It's So Unique
We take if for granted
but it's not ours to keep.
We don't have very much
time, but what we have is
unique.
You must make the best
of what you have because
it could be gone sooner
than you think.
Tresure life, be strong,
not weak. Because
life is precious and so
unique!!

Not unexpected, but always dreaded
coming quietly into my night
invading our place
our time.
A piece of my heart, swirling out of control
Lost in the ether
Waiting in the dark, for your transparent hands to
catch me
Waiting for the wink of your hearts eye.
Waiting-
Not unexpected, but always dreaded.

Keep me not in the darkness
For I've been there
Keep me not in concealment
For I've learned to be open

For I've tried to know what to do
Keep me not in waiting
For I am tired.

Wondering all night
why is this happening to us
Is it because of a friend
Is it because of me?
Thinking of something
Something, I might have done wrong
But nothing
No reason at all.
You know I love you
But do you love me?
Do you want to keep me?
Or am I loosing?
Tell me please...
Before it's too late.

you couldn't keep

with all I held.

Now having served you
I lie here
crumpled and spent,
cast and abandoned...
Treated as trash
soon to be ash..

There is an echo here,
In this room, by this chair.
A stirring so soft,
That it moves me to silence.
It shivers and shimmers
Winding tendrils of smoke around my heart
Untill I can't hear the beat
I will not move untill the smoke clears.

On the night of February 22nd or is it morning of 23rd?
I thought I had you
The same night of January 21stor morning of January 22nd.
It only lasted for 3 days
I thought you'd call
I waited for 3 months.
I decided after 2 days
I'd give you a call
It's 2:00 PM and I did.
Not, it's all over
But I am still hoping.
—*—
I miss you
Waiting seems endless
As if losing hope
trying to wish
As if losing forever.
"Tell me straight...
how long must I
stare at the stars,
cry in the night,
whisper your name?
My heart's grown weary."

i stand alone on the brink of darkness
and stare into the voids of insanity
the winds scream about me
and tear me towards the oblivion
but borne upon the shrieking gale
a voice comes speaking my name
laughter of the angels as they lift me
lofted to a lighted place of safety
the singlet point of radiance in an pale sky
perfection cast in physical tones
heaven descended to be seen by an infidel
ultimate beauty encompassed by
a smile

Bleeding
Religion is lost
It has seeped into the stones of great cathedrals
It has hidden itself in deep chambers
It has absorbed into books and testaments
Where it is lost.
I lick the stones
but all I taste is salty tears
I dig into the chambers
but all I see is dusty shadows
I read, oh, how I read
but the prophets hieroglyphics, no one understands.
Every interpretation
contradicts, conflicts, opposses
Words are corrosive,
Religion is lost.

A tear from my eye has fallen this night.
To the thought of loosing you. Gave me a fright.
It has been said you are a live if you are afraid.
I know from that I am alive. There is a blade,
of pain that, for me, runs too deep and true.
Because you know I love you. I need to know you love me too.

the sun creeps out over

I'm a goddess on my knees
A swaggering, tough little slut
I'm a trigger hippie
I stepped over everyone I know
Got enough guilt to start my own religion
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
I crucify myself
An empty cagegirl
Flight attendants for the ancestral angels
Looking for a savoir on these dirty streets
My times never changed
Note: This is a found poem. I arranged the lines, but I found then all,
I didn't make them up. In case that's a problem

then i wouldn't know what i lost
i hate you
you're the reason i can't sleep

I see you on the battlefield
A gleam glows in your eye
hate and wrath you deftly wield
Screaming a battle cry
I know you and you know me
and only we know why
I swing my blade to end your hate
together our blades collide
and together, in hate, we die.

Judge Me Not
By LaChann Green
You look with hate into my eyes
You see something you don't trust within me
I say: Judge Me Not
You pierce me with hateful words
You talk at me, not to me
I say: Judge Me Not
The color of my skin you dislike
I'm no different than you
I tell you: Judge Me Not
I can do anything you can
I'm intelligent and strong
I will succeed
I say to you once more:
Judge Me Not

Love can come at anytime
Morning love sneaks in
Softly on tiptoe
Like eyes slowly opening
to greet the dawn
Afraid to see, yet expectant
of new beginnings
Night love can be svelte or slinky
As the mood of evening dictates
Sometimes velvety smooth
Or violently passionate
Afternoon delights can be light and cheery
As impromptu as a moment in time
But none are as memorable as you.

sun-drenched boys, running to greet me

Friends are made
of bread and cheese
and apple sauce and honey
odds and ends that
Quick as a wink
make days and hearts so sunny
Living joyously together
Content with what comes after
Friends are made
of fine-combed love
And golden threads of laughter
Cynthia L. Smith

I loved how your heart beat
Whenever I held you.
I loved how you came to me
Without being asked to.
I loved the way
your touch was almost heavenly.
But darling most of all
I loved how you loved me
I loved how you squeezed me
Teased me, pleased me,
Loved how you loved me.
Cynthia L. Smith
—*—
Two people passing in the night
we touch, caress with all our might
Then slowly drifting far away
Hoping there'll come another day
to recapture love in all its' glory
Reliving another age old story
of lovve that's lost and then regained
Trying hard to forget the pain
of lovving one who doesn't love you
The knife of hurt cuts deep and true
yet some love's better
than none - from you.

Fear to Love
Man has fears and women too, the fear that love

when i kiss your lips
i will taste your soul
from the bottom up
i will drink your sorrows
and let mine subside
your love's amazement
holding me
that two can be one
and feel so alive
together
i stare into wondering eyes
my own looking back
at me
beautiful flame
the wax melts down
pressed together
the two
we intwine
i give you my breath
your heart stays mine
we love
under heaven's glorious light
we do love
forever and tonight

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
Wanting the best for others

Brings peace and a calm from above

Show care from the heart called love

JUST A THOUGHT OF YOU...
How can something that feels so right
be wrong?
Are we destined to be,
or will you leave me as well?
If I could hold your hand
forever...I would.
Never doubt my
undying love for you.
A jewel among the pearls you are,
shining your brightest
whenever I am around.
Does that make me the source of your power?
Hmmm...I guess we will never know.

A gift from the heart,a collection of cries

Why share a dream?
Why even bother to try?

We die.

And I don't know why I'm still in love with you.

STINGING TEARS
in the distance
i hear the Ocean
singing the mourning song
Angry waves crash
upon my beaten heart
The sun's rays
burn holes through
my naked soul
drownimg myself
in my own blood
drifting away
my fragile face
becomes brittle
as the day settles down
Evening falls
high tide is
coming in
i lie on the jetty
letting the wipe
away my stinging tears.

I lie
I lie awake
I dream
I wonder
I lie deep in sorrow
For there is someone
I do not lie with
and I suddenly remember
He wants her more
I love him,
and he loves her
as much.
There is no hope
we are great friends
i love him dearly
and he knows
I lie without a heart
for he has it along with hers
i lie alone
I lie empty with him missing!

And look at me!

The white satin sheets that I swim in
Luscious dreams of ecstasy
Holding onto the purest of my emotions
Cascading over my body in chills
The crescent moon will light my way to the castle of sleep
Cries from my soul into the night

And my demons dance around my head
Evil laughter teases me in the shadows
I feel the warmth in my security
So I ride on your wings tonight

When You're Around
When you're around the sun will shine,

yesterday today and tomorrow, hopefully one day relieving me all sorrow.

Listening at the door

Daring to look beyond
Hoping not to see
All the lies you've told
Staring back at me.
Still, I stand befor the dream-

I will hear you.
Look at me through blind eyes
I will help you see.
Tell me I'm the reason you breath
I will believe.

Where do we go from here?
What is that look in your eyes?
Do you still hold me dear?
Are you about to tell me lies?
These questions rage in my head,
my heart feels as heavy as lead.
I want to love you,
because of what you mean, because of what you do.
But If I give my heart away,
will I be sad or gay?
Will you take it and break it,
or hold it and remake it?

LAST GOODBYES
I look in your eyes and see
What was and what never will be
I remember the time
When I thought you were mine
But now I have come to now
That your only wish is to be let go
Although to do so kills me
My only wish is to see you happy
And if this is the only way
Then in my heart you will always stay
As I look in your eyes
And we say our last goodbyes

ANGER
ANGER CROSSED MY PATH TODAY TURNING MY LIFE FROM BLUE TO
GRAY.
FACES CONTORT AND WORDS ARE EXCHANGED,CAUSING US REGRETS
AND UNECESSARY PAIN.
ANGER I REBUKE THEE,IT SPREADS LIKE A CANCER HOW CAN I STOP
THEE I KNOW NOT THE ANSWER.
ANGER IT SAPS OUR SOULS AND OUR STRENGTH MAKING IT DIFFCULT
FOR US TO THINK.
AN AFTER ALL IS SAID AN DONE ANGER I TELL YOU, YOU HAVE NOT
WON

i want to use you.
i'll feed you for free-
its rent-and-return now
not rent-to-own.
don't worry, dear
that's in the past.
we just bought
a commitment contraceptive.
i'm waiting in your eye
for whenever you feel
like loving someone
without being in love.
free of charge.
i'll give you anything-
and not care when you
dont care.
I want you to use me
use me up.
no strings attached
anymore.

THE PIT of THINGS
The Pit of Things....in which we throw
experienced.........undesirable
Things we know.
The Pit of Things....where black thoughts dwell
abiding.................feeding
Inside their shell.
The Pit of Things.....where dark sprouts light
climbing................rising
Cradling fright.
The Pit of Things.....where bound freedom nears
surfacing..............breathing
Escape of fears.

Moment
Inside her eyes...time stood still.
How long did we stare?
Was it mine...or combined will?
Did we really share?
I know we shared...if only that moment
...Eternity stood still.
In radiant glory...she magnificent
Did all my desire fulfill.

Yesterday
By:Josie
Yesterday you were close to me,
I was happy as I could ever be,
but now you're somewhere far away,
leaving me wishing and praying for yesterday.
They say you don't know what you have until it's gone, that's true,
because since you've been gone I feel so blue,
I try to laugh and smile,
but it dosn't carry for more then a mile.
I will always care,
about the love we used to share,
and I will always pray,
for yesterday.
—*—
Where do we go from here?
What is that look in your eyes?
Do you still hold me dear?
Are you about to tell me lies?
These questions rage in my head,
my heart feels as heavy as lead.
I want to love you,
because of what you mean, because of what you do.
But If I give my heart away,
will I be sad or gay?
Will you take it and break it,
or hold it and remake it?

The CAUSE…
Extremist…
fundamentalist…
martyr for the cause…
the bullet riddled corpse…
out there in no man's land…
forearms reaching to heaven…
lifeless, senseless vacant stare…
underneath a mackerel sky…
somewhere…
an anguished mother… weeps.

The time is growing closer
the time for the touch
that will release the flood
So much to say, without words
So much to hear, without trying to listen
So much to give, over and over.
The time is growing closer
the time for the touch
that will release the flood.

Could a voice say more than our words
across the miles?
Would the sound resonate in my heart
more than the feeling?
Will I ever be the same?
I think not-
The phone will ring soon
And my life will change forever.

Friendship
There is a great ship, and I know it very well.
It is really quite big, and it is always at sail.
It goes everywhere, and and can do many things,
And wherever it goes, this message it brings:
Come with us, and you will like what you see.
Where we are going, you can set yourself free.
But, you don't have to worry about this trip,
Because everyone is welcome aboard this ship.

Dedicated to Molly....love you baby
The first time I saw you, I wanted you as mine
I took one look, and I thought you were divine
From that point on, I had to play my cards right
I wanted to always be with you and not to lose sight
When you are with me, words can't explain
The way that I feel about you, it's almost insane
Like everyone says, love is obviuosly true,
I know this feeling well...I'm in love with you

Essence of a Woman
I sat and watched my sweetheart
Who with elegance and grace
Took paints and powders from a bag
And put them on her face
I watch her as she gently placed
The Lipstick on her lips
And then with dainty little brush
She blacked her eyelash tips
I don't know why I watched her
But something made me stay
I saw the essence of a woman there
And I just could not go away

New Girl
Smiling
in my tears
Touching
my past
Gazing in
lost eyes,
a lost soul
Nothing there,
yet, she doesn't know it
Loving him
giving to him
If I could
I'd try and warn her, but,
I'm fighting my own battle ,
trying to forget

CUPID'S ARROW
struck with an arrow
your heart jumps a beat
destined to be together
no secrets allowed
heart won't allow
an aura of hahpponess
jou overwhelms
separation means death
empty and lonley
lost amdst a maze
of never ending streets
peeking around the corner
hoping you'll be there
for a lone kiss
never will there be another
the arrow struck its mark
now we're one
never to e split apart
