Hypnotic State
Greeneyedlady42 Mon 12/18/06 09:46 PM A voice that thunders like Chariots Yet it can patter like cool rain Hands strong enough to build monuments of stone Yet gently soothe away pain Eyes so piercing they see right thru A lying heart of guile But sweet enough when they look at me I know I can only smile Character as deep as the sea A love that despells all hate How my love have you captured me In this hypnotic state. Sweet simple meekness of a child That makes me want to protect you Strength and pride carefree and wild Makes me promise not to neglect you Tell me of your fantasies. Ill tell you of my dreams Listen to my silent cries while I soothe your painful screams. Stare at me once again my love With eyes as blue as slate And I will live in eternal bliss In this hynotic state. |

(FISTS OF IRON) Mon 11/13/06 10:12 PM The rise of fallen heroes, like the warmth of the winters sun Angels gather,slowly moving in silence Hell,earth and sky become as one Building bodies from ashes, to where time and memory collide Voices of victory sweeps the land In triumph,our brothers rise Riding up on the horses from hell, the pounding of hooves did shake the earth Blood and steel,broadsword armour and shield ships of the lost souls meet land and dirt A day thunder broke the sky A reign of bodies will cover the fields Like burning embers falling through the night this day all our wonders revealed Scorched by dragons fire,demons scatter in rage On the bridge of life and death, this is the day we break the chains The ground breaks and the graves are open spirits fall from the skies like rain The third dimension meets hell,life and fantasy The armies of the world strikes in battles rage Collectively we'll live as immortals or we shall all die as one The hands of doom are reaching out breaking land and water,conquering fire and sun (FISTS OF IRON) |

She has a soul as a friend, She always smiles to no end. Those of us who really care, Pray to you your love to share. Mercy from you to this soul, Always laugh, it was her goal. She has a kind and gentle way, Please don’t take her let her stay. We ask this favor from above, Spare this kind and gentle dove. This prayer we say on this fine day, We need her smile it is her way. This smile she gives to all her friends, She loves this life with smiles she sends. We do not know what you plan, This prayer I ask, this gentle man. Guide this teardrop with your love, Bring her back from high above. Miss her now and wish to say, We love her much, our own way. Give her strength to last for sure, Give her life a simple cure. We do pray in his name, Hear our prayers are not in vain. We ask these things Humbly In the Name of Jesus Christ Amen. |

Sitting here watching the candle glow. As I sit and think of this trip of mine. Makes me wonder will it be the last time. Could it be possible that this is the day. That I find that special one that lives so far away. Could it be you, that will take away the blues. Make me laugh and love, and tell me it's true. That I've finally found the one to hold my hand. To walk with me, beside me and be my man. Could we both be able to help each other to mend? And come together first being true friends. As we play outside in the fresh fallen snow. Could it be our friendship has started to grow? Before we know it we seem to fit like a glove. As I look into your eyes I can see the love. As I sit here listening to the rain it seems. That once again I have been lost in my day dreams. |

Coming Home- Poisonfighter Started walking to where I don’t know There comes a time in life to find what you’re looking for No hesitation as I walked out the door The situation called for drastic measures. Saw the sunset and I held it in my mind I had to leave the things I need and loved behind My best intentions only took me so far Tomorrow I’ll be home and it’s been to long. Something hit me right between the eyes I keep is straight so I don’t need no alibis. Better judgement well it brought me to this place Tomorrow morning could have been a day too late It’s not a fantasy it’s just a state of mind I thought I could do much better well I must of been blind. Coming home Something hit me right between the eyes I keep is straight so I don’t need no alibis Lets not forget the things we said in the pass And get straight so that we can make this thing last. |

ROSE COVERED GATE - 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... |

Awakened By The Storm I was awakened by a sound so loud It surrounde us like a shroud I grabbed my baby and drew him near And softly whispered in his ear I've never woken in such a fright The sound was tearing through the nite I really thought that death was coming On its way to steal all that I adore To grasp me in its icy grip To be held for ever more I hold on tight to my little love And keep him away from deaths cold cruel glove |

Intelligent , rational , intellectual and factual Incomprehensible , asinine and inane . Understanding the shrewdfulness Might make you go insane . Unprofound and superficial , Really is the meaning . Witticism not criticism , Is what I am convening . Apptitude , intelligence It really does not matter. Words come to me and flow , Like constant chatter. Cognizant and mindful. Lunacy insanity ,eccentric You might say . Shrewdness and perspicacity , Acuteness and audacity, It is just my way. |

Another by Purplecat
(A good view of people in general) Faithless cast aside by a world so cruel ,taken for granted , I'm such a fool. Eager to love and please , and feel cherished. But losing that feeling , I'm afraid it has perished. Gentle and kind, and really quite caring , I love to help and enjoy sharing. Stomped on and kicked around , sneared at ,and shake their heads What are they saying? One look at me and thats what they are conveying. What an angry world , so full of presumption , If they only knew how hard it was to get up the gumption. To wear that smile , To face the crowd , When the hate and the fear has become too loud. And you are losing the feeling to stand tall and proud. I've lost my faith . I SAY IT OUT LOUD! |

These fellings inside I wish I could hide, But its hard when its just you on my mind. I want to show but im afraid, If I do you will run away. When I chat with you online, I try to pretend everthing is fine. But deep inside of me, I keep this secret I wish you could see. I dont know when to tell you, That the felling is im falling for you. I dont know how it could be, I just hope you will understand what I see. So please dont be mad, All that will do is make me sad. So this secret I keep inside, I hope one day you will be all mine.

Joined Tue 09/05/06 Posts: 3370 Sun 10/15/06 07:36 PM There is no greater pain then, to have a loved one taken away. On that cold winter day. When you took a life away. Did you get the riches. And fill the pockets of your britches. You took a loving Father. From his only Daughter. If it was your mother Or even your only brother. Would there life be worth the time. Did the thought ever cross your mind. Did you even take the time to think. Or did you shoot without blinking Did it make you feel bigger? As you pulled the trigger. Watching him standing Tall. Then watching him FAll. Now you sit in jail. Wanting someone to post bail. You walked down the path, and left the blood bath. So now its your turn to pay. With your life forever and a day. I had started this poem for a cousin of mine that was found shot to death a year ago but had never finished it. I found it while cleaning out a drawer by my computer. And thought it was only right to finish it since it was only half way completed. So here it is. |
