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.

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

A Prayer for a friend

As I write these words today,
Lonely tear drop would just say.
Smile now sister brother,
Gave a smile to all others.

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.

it's getting close
to that time
when my world
turned upside
down, the days
have gone by
an I still
set sometimes
an cry, but only
a single teardrop
stricks down my
cheek, these
two hands can't whip
it, I sometimes wonder
if I feel it,
it's still just lost
in time, memories
of happiness, laughter
an smiles,
it's getting closer
the moments or just passing by
now theres only a single teardrop
lost and left in time

hold my hand
I'll hold yours
hold me please
an don't let go
accept me for who I am
I'll accept you as my friend
please don't fear what you
cant understand
let me make you smile
even through my tears
I wish so much to be
accepted in this world
of silence without a voice
only tears stream my checks
take my hand and accept me
for I am still who I am

As I sat here listening to the faucet drip.
All I can think about is my trip.
Outside I can hear the rain as the wind blows.
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.

angel on my doorstep
angel in my mind
i will travel to the ends of time
to find that angel of mine
i don't know when i'll find her
don't know where she'll be
she does not have a face just yet
but i already carry her with me

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.

(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!

The Feeling I Hide



I wish I could say whats on my mind,
But im afraid you wouldnt think its time.

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.

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.

The choices we make, the choices we choose,
Of what we make them, of what we brood,
Is the decision ours, or are we just pawns,
Does influence come, from where we are spawned,

Is there something else, that makes the call,
When we are left, to rise or fall,
Is this choice simply left, to us or another,
A game eternal, played between others,

With each new path, or direction we take,
Can lead us to trouble, and to make mistakes,
But still we walk, this precarious road,
To where it ends, as it gently unfolds...
