Welcome to my poetry page! Right now I'm just going to post some poetry
I've collected from various places on the net. When I get more time, I'll put some of my
own up. If you wrote any of these, please let me know so I can give credit where it's due.
I AM HERE
I am here waiting for you.
Do you think of me?
I am here waiting for you.
Can you set me free?
I somehow lost my home.
I'm not sure of folks I meet.
I found myself alone,
Lost and frightened in the street.
I tried to make some friends,
but was shooed and pushed away.
Is this the way it ends,
just another stray?
So much danger in the air!
My presents brings on fear!
Not welcome anywhere!
People run when I get near!
Picked up by the dog cops
and put in a foster home.
The food and care are really tops
but still so all alone.
I won't take too much space.
Just a small room in your heart.
A teeny, tiny little place,
Where I can make a start.
No I'm not a cute little puppy,
But I won't pee upon your floor.
I just need someone to love me.
Please open up the door.
I am here waiting for you.
Where ever can you be?
I am here.

Some say your love is like a river
With a mighty current little can withstand
And those who just happen to fall in
Never quite make their way back home again
You say your love is like a book
Another surprise at each turn of the page
"But when the story is over," I say,
"it's tossed aside--never read again."
So then you ask,"What is my love to you?"
I really do not know.
"You're love is dangerous," I whisper.
"I always come back for more, though."

Love at Second Glance
This feeling of anxiety requires investigation.
Why is she the object now, of my infatuation?
I walked into her record store, and met her there by chance.
Love often comes at just one sight, but this was second glance.
She was very courteous; her voice was soft and kind.
"Is there anything you do not see, that I can help you find?"
I quickly looked to find a title missing from the shelf,
Already working on a plan to introduce myself.
"Excuse me, but I wonder can you get this disc for me?"
"We�ll get a shipment in this week, I�ll check it then and see."
What happened next, I am not sure but one thing I can say:
Fate dealt a hand of cards to me that changed my life that day.
I cannot call her mine and yet my feelings for her grow.
I write these words tonight because I wish for her to know:
Nothing in your store, my dear, could ever fill the role
Of the music that I hear each time I gaze into your soul.

Internal Encounter
You learn from your mistakes
And then you learn some more.
Your heart, it always breaks
Don't open up that door!
Pass your hurt to others
As you are prone to do.
Anger only smothers;
The victim will be you.
The feelings are not there
Where once they used to be.
The faces that you wear
Are for the world to see.
You promised not to go
And yet that's where you went.
Your spirit will not grow
Your inner self, resent.
You struggle to do right
You fail at every turn.
You try with all your might
Forgiveness, you must learn.
--Unknown
Wishes of a Lover
As I look out at the majestic sea,
I know you and I were meant to be.
I only wish I could make you see
how much your love means to me.
I wish I could walk up to you
and speak the words that lovers do.
But now I sit here sad and blue
wishing that I could be with you.
--Unknown
You left me with empty eyes.
Your heart gone, a memory past on.
You're a song in the wind, a love deep down within.
A tear falls from my eye to the ground where you lie.
I swallow it down, you're now in the ground, furnished with God.
You died eyes wide asking me why.
It wasn't your time I'm so scared to love.
I dream you alive, Now you have left my side.
Why?
--"Generation Downfall"
Help me get out of this pit of pain that I've fallen into.
I lost my love for the world.
I can't bear to stare at your face, dissapionted in me for what I have become.
I used to love things with happiness and life.
Now I care for nothing, I can't stand knowing I lost thee.
Why do I hurt you and make you cry.
Tell me lord, give me the reason why?
--"Generation Downfall"
Why am I here? Did I do something bad.
Somebody help me I am feeling sad.
In an awfull world I am stuck.
Wrapped up in my own bad luck.
But I still will love only thee.
And only that love can set me free.
--"V.I.P."
I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in.
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But that would never happen again.
I had locked the door and tossed the key,
As hard and as far as I could.
Love would never enter there again,
My heart was closed for good.
Then you came into my life,
And made me change my mind.
Just when I thought that tiny key
Was impossible to find.
That's when you held out your hand,
And proved to me I was wrong.
Inside the palm of your hand was the key to my heart
You had it all along.
--Unknown
Unfilled Heart
Sadness fills my lonely heart
Whenever I think of you.
My love, it goes out unreturned,
And I'm left feeling blue.
How I wish that I did love
Someone who could love me,
But to eternal happiness
Your love don't hold the key.
So I'll wait for tomorrow,
When I'll be over you,
And I will hold my true love's hand
And he will love me too.
--Ashley Anderson
Give Me an Inch
I don't really love you,
But I'll use you for a while,
Give me an inch,
And I'll take a mile.
We got to the movies,
We go to the fair,
You might think I love you,
But I don't really care.
I don't really love you,
But I'll use you for a while,
Give me an inch,
And I'll take a mile.

Loving You
I cry inside to be near you,
And my heart fills if it has no life,
I wish I could understand this feeling,
But the only thing I could come up with is..
Because I love you..
--Brandy Mearse
Dying
The scent of death fills the air,
So innocent yet fair,
The sun shines down bright yet it's black as night,
Death kisses me on the face,
And life lets go of it's embrace,
Wild screams are in my head,
So quiet and yet almost dead,
I feel like I'm slipping away in time,
With nothing to hold onto,
Nothing that is mine.
--Brandy Mearse
I thought I loved him
And I knew it was right
Only I didn't prove it to myself
Until last night.
He thought it would be best if we
Stayed as friends,
But in my heart I knew it was gonna end.
I know I love him,
And I know I'm right,
Only I didn't prove it until I took my life.
--Brandy Mearse
Supressed
Everyone wants the beautiful angel.
She can't be tugged.
The demons twist her wings around and strip the angel naked;
but the halo is still perfect and eventually the wings will straighten out.
--Brandy Mearse
Fire
The fire burns in whispy curlicues, in reds, greens, and blues.
Smoke clings stubbornly to your clothes,
The acrid smell burns your nose.
The stinging pain in your eyes is cooled by the wind as you stand
And burn your memories of him.

Escape
Is there a method to my madness?
No, I don't think so.
My dreams are my escape, A hiding place,
A little house where I can go.
I am a gangster, a princess;
I am a thief with no heart.
I am a doctor, a hero,
I can play any part.
I am a jack of all trades,
a fighter, a lover.
I can be anyone I please,
A daughter, wife, or mother.
There's nothing I can't say.
Or nothing I can't do.
I am needed by everyone.
I am even loved by you.
In life I am no one.
In reality, I can't be seen.
But in my mind, I am a goddess
If only you could see my dreams.
--Brandy Mearse
Conquering Life
Children playing in the streets,
Parents playing in the bedroom,
This is how the world turns,
Creation at it's finest.
Childhood, a short phase,
Adolesence, world war 3.
Life is nothing but a long stuggle
to better yourself.
Did you achieve your goals?
Is there ever a goal to be happy with?
Adulthood, where the hair is lost,
and the money is made.
Continuing the life cycle
now invites more pressure,
Nothing is to be taken for granted
in this world without sympathy,
Will you live to see tomorrow?
Finally as you reach the downhill,
the race to the bottom begins,
Will you reach it soon?
Who will recieve what I've worked for?
My whole life given away in a flash.
As death looks me in the eye,
I smile gently,
and kiss this difficult world goodbye...
--Unknown
Him...
His eyes, are like crystal blue streams,
His hair, is a golden color, only seen in my dreams,
His skin, is as soft and smooth as silk,
and looks as creamy as fresh, cold milk.
When I look at him,
and hear his voice,
my heart beats faster,
it has no choice.
My stomach flutters endlessly,
I only wish,
that he could see,
how much his love,
means to me.
--Unknown
Starlit Night
The night is bright,
With a starlit sky,
I sit and think,
As time passes by,
Oh stary night,
With a moonlit sky,
Take me away,
And tell me why,
Give me a reason,
For love's end,
Give me a reason,
For why I lost a friend,
I sit and think,
All night long,
About the things,
That all went wrong,
Starlit sky,
Give me a reason why.
--Unknown
Confusion
My knees start to shake,
When you're in sight.
My mind's filled with wonder,
My heart with fright.
When will this feeling stop?
When did it start?
How can I listen to my mind,
Without breaking my heart?
I'm so confused
What should I do?
I can't think of anything,
Except of you.
Should I ignore you?
Or just give it time?
I can't think straight,
My heart controls my mind!
