Can't Let You See Me Cry

if you could have known
how badly it hurt
that you think I've thrown
this love to the dirt

i want to feel you
your skin on mine
every inch of you
and then stop time

how i long for touch
soft breath on my skin
you can't know of such
so i keep it in

it's safer this way
not let you inside
if i did convey
you'd run fast and hide

so i push them down
my thoughts of what if
you can't come around
so why keep with this

although truth be told
'cause i can not lie
my heart is not bold
can't let you see me cry

Friends......by Txsgirl

Friends come to us like strangers in the night
They bring with them sunshine that is so bright
At times they seem to just appear out of no where.
They touch our hearts and souls and are so dear.
There smiles and words come across so vey clear.
Every morning, noon and night they make our day.
The laughter they bring with them they send our way.
But for some reason before we even have time to blink.
As we look for there name its gone we can only think.
Was it something that I did? No, that I do not believe.
At times there is no reason,It was just time for them to leave.
Friendship is something you give like a special gift.
We strive for it and cherish it for the rest of our life.
Some how they have managed to touch your heart to the soul.
When they leave it leaves dark hole that burns like coal.
But, don't let it bring a dark shadow to your day.
Remember they did make you smile and this is just there way.
At times they could bring and instant smile to your face.
They felt as if they were home, finally they found a place.
To be with friends so far away and yet so very near.
But then there comes a time to leave even those so very dear.
As we go through life we look back and wonder why?
Did they have to go, and why did they not even say bye.
Life it but a journey a road we all will travel down each day.
We never know what we will find or what might come our way.
Never forget the ones that cross our path each time.
For they make our hearts shine like a brand new dime.
So when the day comes do not bring a frown to your face.
Just a smile and to know they have found a new place.

Faith - by Kingbreeze

angels in my heart,
demons in my mind
i always support the angels
but demons are all i find.
i will not lose my faith over what is in the past
my soul will burn in hell, as i try not to laugh.
i tried to walk the narrow path but left footprints in the ditch
never made my way back home because i killed that *****
it's not like i didn't try, twas not a reckless crime
i saw a crack form in the sky and knew it was my time.
as i stepped up for my judgement day, i kneeled before my lord
HE told me not to fret for HE heard every word.
you still must do your time in hell, no matter who's to blame
just remember i am with you as you frolic in the flame.
your earthly life was only a bit of preparation
remember faith is illimitable as you face the degradation.

(And yes it's because I'm partial to Dragons, but it's also good)

Origin of Dragons

From an age of fantasy where tales unfold,
In books of magic where stories are told,
Comes a beast of stature awesome and true,
With silky scales some red some blue,

Born from a dream in a fairytale land,
With wisdom of old as timeless as sand,
A creature of beauty graceful and swift,
With a heart not black but good to lift,

In a time of darkness wielded by man,
When Knights did battle and evil was banned,
As timeless as space they ruled this place,
And passed on good to all with grace,

Some red, some blue, some green, some grey,
In dreams they live but in reality they are slayed,
O dragon you are such a beauty to see,
Gliding the skies so open and free,

You survey your kingdom as ruler and king,
An archive of knowledge to us mortals you bring,
As you watch this earth through aged eyes,
A tear you shed as the hate you despise,

A bringer of justice of hope and of faith,
A gift you endow with compassion not haste,
You are within us you will always be,
A light in the dark for us all to see....

Swordsman and the Knight

Drown me in the waters of your fantasy
Baptize me in the fire of your rage
Cover me with the wings of your silent retreat
possess me as your own,take me away

Feel my heart die,to be reborn into your hands
Bring me to life through your immortal love
The ice princess made castles,where time shakes the sand
Too hard to break,too hard to hold-i'll never come undone

Just as swift as shadows appear,the vanishing awaits
she looks but can not find me,I move in silence
The will of the dragon,on a chariot I drive into this fantasy
I have no fear of man or beast,bloodshed,hate or violence

I stand strong as your mercenary,i'm the herald of the night
I am the slayer of the day,swordsman and the knight
The immortal silent warrior,born of hell bent fury
I was made to walk this world alone,choose now to walk with me

The Promise

Can you hear me in the night,
Can you see me in the light.
Can you feel me deep inside,
Can you touch me in your mind.

Can I hear you from the night,
Can I see you in the light.
Can I feel you deep inside,
Can I touch you in my mind.

Can you hold me from above.
Can you show me all your Love.
Can you give me such a chance,
Can you show me some romance.

Can I hold you from above,
Can I hold it all your love,
Can I give you such a chance,
Can I show you true romance.

I can hold you from above,
I can show you all my love,
I can give you such a chance,
I can show you true romance.

I will hear you in the night,
I will see you in the light.
I will feel you deep inside,
I will touch you with my mind.

I have found you in a dream,
I know truly what you mean.
When you say that I am true,
All these vows I give to you

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

A new aquaintance
is what you are
yet familiar from afar
through other friends
near and dear
brought us together
and here we are
You helped me through hard times
thick and thin
when i thought i'd not go on
You made me laugh when I wanted to cry
and when I cried
offered your shoulder
and refused to let me hide
now here I abide
in your good graces
you'd travel the world for me
it seems
It's not for me to understand
but just accept it for what it is
I'll take your hand
if you keep reaching
and I'll give you all I can
above and beyond
I want to be a true friend

You came in very quiet and meek.
Maybe, after only about one week.
Your smile seem to come across like a light.
It glowed and seem to shine so bright.
Even though at times you seemed to be blue.
You have always been nothing but true.
You seem so innocent and very shy.
But when you speak you never tell a lie.
You always say hello how are you today.
Even to all those that are so far away.
Your heart is so full of care.
Even after all the burdens you have bared.
You still have a smile that makes angels sing.
One of these days you will hear your phone ring.
On the other end you will be sure to hear.
Hello girl, how are you doing today dear?
It's funny you know I have been told.
That you have a heart that is made of gold.
For some reason I already knew that one.
You came in and before it was all done.
You had captured the hearts of more than you know.
As I hear the wind outside as it blows.
I hear this sweet voice that seems to say.
Hi, how are you this vey special day.
As I type back to you fine and how are you?
Your smile lights up and is no longer blue.
You have slowly began to break from that hell.
That deep inside had you in a shell.
Your smile has started to shine like a light.
It is like the rays of sunshine that is so bright.
You have made friends here so very fast.
The ones that are sure to last.
I have only one wish for you my dear.
That you receive nothing but love and no more tears.
You have made alot of friends far and near.
I wish you only the best for the New Year!





This is too a very Special Girl no matter what life has dealt her she
always worries about how others feels. She is one of a kind. With a
heart of pure gold!! Lonelyteardrop :)

Rose covered the gate.....by CCP...............

Twisted and black
Gnarled and shriveled
Was my soul
Wandering through time
Looking for an answer
Never finding what I was looking for

I saw a beautiful gate before me
On my twisted path
Covered in roses and ivy vines
Sun shining so brightly upon it
A welcome sign hanging askew
I ran as fast as I could
Running full speed to the gate

I stopped just before it
Breathing hard
Scared to take that step
What if crossed my mind a thousand times
Fear ran through out my body
I closed my eyes
Took a deep breath
Pushed the gate open
And took that step

Crossing over the threshold
Feeling the soft grass all spongy beneath my feet
The air so clear and pure
Filling my lungs sweetly
Warm rays of sun shine spilling across my face
Butterflies flitting about my hair
Laughter echoing in my ears
So sweet a tune I had longed to hear

Ahead on the path
Smiling faces
Welcoming me home
Join us
We can heal your soul

Slowly bit by bit
The twisted black
Gnarled and shriveled soul
Began to grow whole
Smiles grace my face
More and more every day
All because I chose to open the gate
And come to this place...

heavens call..........Jimi366...........


A face in a picture frame is all you are.
The memories that remain of you
will always be in my heart.
The bond we shared knows no compare.
For a moment in time we were one.
You'd sleep on my pillow and
dream with me.
Every morning I'd wake up
and you'd smile at me.
Everything was perfect.
Why did you have to go?
Why does Heaven always seem to call
the ones that I love most?

My world was full of colors,
a visual parade
until that fateful day
when you were gone.
Now it's all turned black and hopeless.
Memories are good
but I long for a touch
that I know will never come.
I find myself so numb.

I see you walking thru my hallway.
I see you sitting on the couch
as I go out the door.
I see you greet me when I come home.
I realize it's all an illusion now
and it makes me cry once more.

Everything was perfect.
Why did you have to go.
Why does it always seem
that Heaven calls the ones
that I love most?

I'm surrounded by memories and ghosts.
Why does it always seem that
Heaven calls the ones that
I love most?

Dedicated to all the ones who are missing someone
who got called to Heaven, animal or human.
I wrote this about my beloved best friend
and greatest cat in the world- Frook

Chained to a broken fantasy
I have descended from a dream
to stand before you helpless
in the realms of a memory
Covered in the requiem of silence
to no avail these words become
endless fragments of what could be
a love ascended from the sun
Moving on as the times shall pull me
Waiting for her to notice I'm alive
In her eyes a jewel placed so perfectly
but her visions were never mine
I ask through tears and triumph,ecstasy
and rage
if by an angels light my darkness shall drown
then let me rise above this day
to walk beside her and own the right
as no man has ever before
to capture just one moment in time
the fallen,the angel adores
If her wings of love shall ever embrace me
and I feel the warmth of her breath
If ever I'm given the chance to sleep beside her
then let me never awake again
for I would give all that I'm worth
just for her to look my way
and to hear her say at last I love you too
more than words can ever say

Thank You for being a true friend...

loving of our ways,
not knowing who are passengers,
only those who stays,
live and on this train,
loving in our ways,
looking for all our good,
even on saddest days,
forgiving all our mistakes,
and our maddness plays,
letting us know we have a friend,
to help pain go away,

Trains of life are evryone's gift of friends,
travels on our paths of life,never to see the ends,
only looking for our newest dearest friends,
living in the moment,
not waiting for our fall,
loving in your happieness,
standing oh so tall,
Thank You friends of true,
no more lonely feeling blue,
thinking only,seeing true,
looking for the one of you,
who gave me so much joy,
