Desolation....by CCP................

Slowly I walk through the rain
Tears running down my face
So empty and cold
No place for my soul to call home
Tired of reaching out for something
That clearly isn't real
At least for me
Tired of being alone

Standing in a crowded room
People laughing
Joking ,having a good time
In the middle of it all
And I still feel alone
Looking out into the crowd
Knowing no one really sees me
So cold
So empty

Searching the world
For the place to call home
So weary
So old
Heart aching
Screaming out
See Me!!
Please see me!!

Slowly walking through the rain
Tears running down my face
Alone...........

Caged........by Jimi36.........................

Here I am,
back in this same old empty room.
Nothing to do
but close my eyes
and think of you.
We are worlds apart
but somehow you
still touch my heart.
Life is full of irony.
I want to feel
life's embrace
but no matter how
hard I try I end
up back inside this place.
A loving smile might be the key
to this jail cell.
I long so much just to be free.

I am caged in a prison
of my own making.
It's like a nightmare
playing over and over
and there ain't no
way of waking.

If you have a hand
reach it out to me.
I will hold on
like a man drowning in the sea.
I know there are many more
like me suffering
sentenced to life
in solitary.
A look into some
loving eyes might
be all I need.

I am caged in a prison
of my own making.
It's like a nightmare
playing over and over
and there ain't no way
of waking.

Free!
I long to be free,
free to find some
love again.
I'll send a message
in a bottle. Maybe you'll
find it, maybe then
I will come alive
once again.

I am caged in a prison
of my own making.

I think the best poem of 2006 was the christmas email we got from our
angels family.

Not sure any other can compete.

Now I will go back into seclusion Morena

Enjoyin The View ...by Lionsbrew

rain drops splash rooftops
i see the beat and my heart stops
just relaxin lookin out the window
watching rain fall i got nowere to go
i catch a glimpse from the corner of my eye
the greys and green lightning flashes in the sky
the rain keeps on coming down
i pick up my guitar and look around
how do i feel do i even care
just raw emotion from a blank stare
the sill is splashed the window wide open
the wind hits my face i sit here just hopen
i strum the strings the calms my soul
the music rushes deep from the sound hole
cascades of sound and color and smell
it blasts out this hearts deep well
enjoying the view through my window panes
the sweet smell that only comes about when it rains

Rise.....Jimi366

Baby that's quite a trick
you pulled. You had me
believing for a second
that you still loved me.
You took my fragile mind
for a spin. You made
a spider web for me to
be stuck in. I could
feel the penetration
of your teeth. You
***** you feed on me!
Take it all.
Yeah you parasite
take all I have to give.
Take the very heart from
me. Just take it all
and walk away. I won't
cry I won't cry and I
refuse to die. I will
rise again.

My Silent Retreat..JTWhite

Kisses in the rain
running my fingers through your hair
I must have been worthy of you then
suddenly you dont notice me there
theres emotion in these words
even in silence,I beg deep inside
now that I'm in love,let lonliness subside

Wondering when I can hold you
has my face ever crossed your mind
I need to know if you'll ever want me
these are the answers my heart needs to find
even in silence,i scream inside


Midnight,all alone in a memory
watching leaves scatter at my feet
the wind is cold,I want you to hold
and now so desperately
but as I remember how happiness felt
the weight of my mistakes are real
walking alone isn't as easy as before
when theres this loss that I feel

And still inside my thoughts
this memory will never fade
I can still see you waving goodbye
and no sound could be made
If I only had the words to change your mind
maybe you would a still be here
my dream is to be with you again
and to last this time for years


Wondering when I can hold you
has my face ever crossed your mind
I need to know if you'll ever want me
these are the answers my heart needs to find
even in silence,i scream inside

Candles...

when a candle is lit from both ends,
it's light burns brightly,quickly spends
only to be consumed by it's own flame,
never knowing true love names,
only playing and showing our games,

let the candle stand tall to light only one end,
to give light to this path of my friend,
walk those halls of memories,darkness at it's end,
seeing each life path,as it is crossed,
no blame but our own,for our own pains now tossed,
behind our trails and paths not forgotten or lost,
living only as lessons and memories,now soft as moss,
no longer able to hurt or burn,lingering in our loss,
wolves of fate,will only linger in hate,
those who wish to bite,those who castigate,
this path I chose,our hearts did meet,
we walked it's lonely mile,on padded feet,
made each other smile,begining a love so sweet,
together we would fight the world of past pain,
together we would fight,to know true love again,
but sadly we lashed at each other,bleeding once again,
feeling our own mistakes of forgotten and insane,
never really learning how to heal our love through pain,
forgetting how to ever know,if we never try to love again,
so let your candle stand strong and tall,
let Love light it to show one and all,
the life path we walked of love's call,
tips of icebergs standing oh so tall,
calving off our broken hearts,
in painful little bleeding parts,
leaving us in tattered little pieces,
having just enough love in hearts,
for fathers,sons,nephews and nieces,
family are the only ones,
who can help with these broken pieces,
Love is not only for the strong,
but how did it all go so very wrong,
among the ashs of a firey song,
within our life of shattered dreams
will we ever love again,as friends
not to burn the candle at both ends,
but held together as one upon high,
to light our path of love gone by..............

only memories of sad events can cloud a sunny day,
only pains of our past,can get in loves funny way,
live and learn to live and love another someday,
you will find in your heart and mind, some way,
to feel it within your soul,to love again today,
let happieness be your goal,let true love not sway,

burn those candles of paths in it's own light,
feel and learn from pain,LOVE makes it alright,
if you hold your candle tall,to this path I write,
to love forever,not just loving on sleepless night,
forsaking all the past,yearning for loves right,
learning to grow love in it's true light,
lighting all our candles for sweet loves flight,
lone wolf howlng,crying for loves delite,
searching for his mate,for his lone birthright..........

burning softly into the night,
walk this path I softly light,
within your halls do I fight,
for a love and my birthright,

from my ghost ship do I ride,
within this hull we slowly glide,
windless night and without a tide,
wingless twilight do we hide,
forever yearning for this ride,
forever learning to quietly abide,
taking it all in silent stride,
light my path from this dark side,

Lone Wolf howl your soft cry,
moonlit shadows of night sky,
slipping softly,quietly by,
cry your lovesong into night sky,
for your mate,did you try,
longing for your days gone by,
lonely in your howling cry,
loving in your lonely try,
Lonely Rider,will forever fly........Lonely Soul

Another Angel...

As the Angels sing,Bells do ring,
forever within our hearts to sing,
Angels watch over our human being,
as our lonely souls true seeing,
angels fly to protect our fleeing,
as we try to forget sad feeling,
forever in our hearts appealing,
forever in your love revealing,
give us now your truest song,
help us grow and not do wrong,
GO WITH GOD AND RING THESE BELLS,
SWEETEST WISHES FROM YOUR WELLS,
SOFT SWEET KISSES FROM YOUR BELLS.....Lonely Soul

Hunting...

by Gryphyn...

Wings spread taking flight
Eagles soaring to the light.
Flying high to the sky,
Hiding in the clouds up high,
Seeking with his deadly eyes
Finding prey as he spies
Breezes flowing through the day,
Catching drafts is the way
Searching plains, Grassy fields,
Finding prey, high in yields.
Screeching heard, bird in flight,
Soaring high, all its might.
Wings folded, earthy tones,
Sun shining, feathers shown
Now the prey it is in sight,
Swooping down deadly might.
Talons sharpened, evil, curled,
Grabbing prey, blood unfurled.
Picking up, prey in flight,
Screeching high, sheer delight.
Flying home to the nest,
Feeding hatchlings, prairies best.

Lost to Love...

by JTWhite...


My heart has broken me to tears
on these nights that i spend alone
I'm reaching out to find theres no one here
this empty house was once my home
All the pictures have been taken down
even though I still feel you here
Its quiet enough now to search my soul
and to make this somewhat more clear
If God takes you away from me,
then I know you'd be the angel of my life
but I didnt lose you to god,
so i want you here tonight
You are walking the earth with a new lover
to whom I dont measure up
I lost you to the odds this time,i lost you to love
So casual was your way in demanding I let go
but how am I to change these feelings,
when you're all the emotion I know
My dreams will never change,because there you'll remain
as much as i need you now,you will never know
I just want to feel those endless kisses
and to dream into your eyes again
I want to hear you say you love me
and if the gods of passion could wash away these sins
I want the intamacy and the bedroom eyes
I want to share these times with you
I want to hold you in these arms forever,I swear
this much is true
but now I have come to realize,as the answers ascend above
I lost you to the odds this time,I lost you to love

My Escape...
by S.C.G....

Making my escape from reality
I close my eyes and casually
envision you in front of me
taking my hand and leading me
down the hall to the bed
lying peacefully side by side
no need for words,
no need for kisses or
making love
Your presence alone fulfills me
holding desire at bay
This friend I've found in you
is so unique and new
Your inner beauty I seek
and here and now, you let me peek
into who you are, and my
curiosity is piqued
The moods if the day washed away
and I bask in the sweetness
of or your soft carresses
Fingertips touching tenderly
hands intertwining and lingering
looking into your eyes
I can see no hidden measures
only your desire and pleasure
of being with me
in the silence of the night

I Live...

by C.C.P....

I was blind
But now I see
I once lived in complete darkness
Terrified and afraid
Of all emotions
Of all feelings
I shut myself off from the world
Curled inward
Hidden from myself
Oh how I ached for the simplest things
Companionship
Friendship
Love
Acceptance
I craved what I shunned
I needed what I threw away
In a fit of utter loneliness
I came upon a place
Where companionship reigned
Where friendship reigned
Where love reigned
Where acceptance reigned
I still tried ever so hard to hide
Keeping those pieces of myself from view
Until I realized that all I ever really wanted
Was to simply shine
I laugh
I smile
I cry
I live......

this was writen by Morena
Your pain I felt
with only a few words
I understood how bad it felt
for I was going trough the same
I will never forget your words
words that made me understand
how powerfull is the love you felt.
he was gone, and in your heart he stayed
for that was real love
the love you felt.
now I just pray to the lord
to take a look in to your heart
and see how strong is the love
the love you felt.
now there is no more pain
and no more hurt
for now you are with him
telling him the pain you felt.
hugging and kissing and telling
him how much you missed him
now your together telling
eachother the love you felt.

wow...how did I miss that one???
