To thee that speaks to ears quiet of mine,
Speak softly with thy lips that I may see,
Thine thoughts in time that twirl to tell a sign,
Of all the world and what words mean to me.
So swift are silent storms so shy of sound,
Teasing my tears wherefore I can not hear.
So I assume, confusing what's around,
Not knowing what the world is saying clear.
Maybe one day a miracle will grow,
Allowing something deaf to hear a drum.
But yet I breathe and by my birth I know,
That sense of sound will shelter something numb.
To open ears that hear when thunder breaks,
I'll never know the sound that lightning makes.
Chaotic Revelations
Chaotic revelations
A world in utter confusion
People thinking and speaking their minds
Doubting the leaders they have chosen
Questioning decisions made on their behalf
Not knowing right from wrong
The people exist in a world of uncertainty
The good they learned is no longer good
The bad they feared is now their lives
There are no heroes or villains
Only those who created the hysteria still rule
Those who accept it thrive in their ignorance
The ones who ask “What in the Hell is going on here?”
They survive in relative bliss and contentment
Secure in their knowledge that they are different
They are not lemmings who follow the crowd
They are the ones who can make changes
They are the ones who can change the world
They are the ones who can chant their chaotic revelations
And maybe they will be the ones to save the world
The Welcoming World Of Hell
Dark crimson flowers surround pillars of black
Gold emblazoned gates hang loosely on rusted hinges
They open to welcome the newly deceased
They will allow you to enter but never leave
A castle stands in the centers watching
Its windows and doors looking like evil incarnate
It waits to swallow anyone who dares comes too close
No warm welcoming light awaits those sent to this place
The promises made during life are of no matter here
There is no ever-lasting paradise waiting for the faithful
All that awaits is the coldness of death and ever-lasting torment
The silence is ripped by sounds of unbearable anguish
Echoing through rock strewn chasms they fall on nothing
Anyone who would have cared long ago gave up on hope
They sit in despair praying for even a moment of hope
Pain and tortures, fire and smoke is the world of Hell
And it welcomes anyone and everyone
I'm a witness to the destruction of my own mind.
Far before this land, far before my time.
And as fast as i run this thought has me captured.
For of this world for others, i have not endeavored.
My body's a lost vessel for it has not touched reality,
since the dying days of my convoluted sanity.
And all around me spiritual natures unfold in time,
like flowers that seed and grow in the mind.
Yet in this world where i reside,
the flowers never grow, nor do they die.
And though reality will not echo my name in history.
In my mind i'm an explorer of the stars,
and i die when my mind meets my eyes.
Dreams I call a spiritual path
A world in abundance of truth and reality
When the real I see never to outlast
Is there that world of which I know absently?
Of the world we share if together…
Changes remain inevitable for you and I
Have we known of that to be forever?
When we know less of truth to be true in lies
If I shall see will you see it with me?
Whether the world I know or be it my dreams
For a self to behold can only ever be
Shall a path be presented when nothing is ever as it seems
And of dreams I’m only to know and share
Of a personality misinterpreted by the ways of another
Am only to know and selfless to dare
For changes is to mean nothing is to last forever
A path known and less traveled
Which be my real world… dreams or reality?
A balance perhaps needs be… equaled
For a self to be selfless for myself spiritually
The moon is so close to earth.
I get to see the people of the world at their worst.
You better count your blessings while you can,
Because with a new day comes a new man.
The world throws us,
...Everyone knows us.
And I'm just one girl.
I don't have all the answers for you.
Take a vile trip, so inhibitions slip
Let glass tip for a sanguine sip
When selfish gain is like cocaine
The world's an insane, twisted plane
Our lives are lies spent for blue skies
We feel torment from each surprise
No matter what our minds stay shut
It's all easy if life's a rut
Another breeds, another dies
Another seeds what could be wise
The world of noise silences the free
Hiding away whom we could envy
Red is running from wall to wall
Man still disbelieves he could fall
Why must we all impede and stall
At this massive masquerade ball?
You can join with the rare who quit
And clean up the mess a little bit
But the dancing floor holds much more
And entrants build your endless chore
So grab a drink to help you think
While madness teeters on the brink
We have strong rules to stay such fools
Despite the blood at our ankles pools
You aren't to blame for the world we know
It's not our fault change comes slow
So sit still, swallow another pill
Hope for high ceilings in the ball we fill
What if the world was upside down,
The birds would crawl the sky
And the creatures would fly
on the ground?
What if the world was upside down,
...a blue abyss of empty
a roof of emerald and azure
over our heads?
What if the world was upside down,
If I jump will I keep falling
Will I fall on the solid glass
sky below me?
if my enemy thinks the world of me
then my enemy will peel off our hatred
one red red rose petal at a time
that is if my enemy no lonqer breathes my envy
breathes my envy
while i breathe silently
my rose qarden exits only in the dawn of sprinq
if i qrow, or when i qrow
i'll be devoured by the snow
only if my enemy thinks the world of me
suddenly my enemy speaks to me
cold thunderous whispers only i heard
i heard my world say my enemy's name
such hatred is prickly, but i feel no pain
if my enemy thinks the world of me
i wont feel pain, for hatred is the rose
and my rose is
my enemy
conspirer of my dreams
but the thouqhts my enemy had toward me
were all colored beautifully, suddenly, mysteriously
somewhere underneath it all...
The darkness
The smolder
The actions
The interests
It all lies down under the dark category
But somehow
Something inside me
Dislikes the night
And prefers the morning
Prefers the light
Prefers the peace
The smoothness
But somehow
A world with peace
Is like a world with no life
I prefer the daylight
Rather than the gloomy outcome of night
I prefer the joy, the everyday actions of the day
And dislike the scary creepy mood of atmosphere
At night
But somehow, I can’t explain it
I live both worlds, and can never give up one of them
Cuz they make each other possible
Cuz I am who I want to be
And I am both with no disguise
The night has elude me
The dream was dreamt further
I became what I cannot be
For days that never were
I knew I am alive
I know I’m not
To the world I lie
For my world will rot
I hide myself well
For my moment to yet appear
And stumble I fell
For moments to disappear
I know I am dead
I’m not… I know
This world I hate
Yet of more to behold
The day has elude me
Myself I thought further
I became what I can only be
Because my days were never
The tears are rolling down your check...
The storm is warbling in the sky...
The world seem so empty to you...
On you kneel you fall down and cry each night...
Your heart is broken into pieces...
You are forced to dust yourself up each day and smile
Like everything is alright...
But deep down you are falling apart and no one seem to care...
You try to speak but no one is listening...
You weep but your tears are sucked up inside your soul...
IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY...
NO MATTER HOW DARK DEEP AND DAMP THE WORLD MAY FEEL...
DON'T TEAR IT DOWN BECAUSE YOU WILL ONLY BE TEARING DOWN WHATS LEFT OF YOU...
IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT I KNOW BUT YOU CAN PULL THROUGH...
YOU DESERVE IT...
DON'T GIVE UP!!! JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF BECAUSE SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW, SOME PLACE, SOMEONE
BELIEVES GREATLY IN YOU...
NO MATTER HOW BIG OR CRAZY THIS WORLD MIGHT SEEM....
YOU MATTER ALOT IN IT!!! WE ALL DO!!!
With every new time it is a moment inside my mind
I shall not fear my tears as they appear
I will not close my eyes to what is so clear
Nor shall I live in lies as this brings cries
I shall not hide my emotions that I have once disguised
I will not be a master in a world of disrespect
I am begging for a world that pleases
I do not know if I can see this
No tarot card can deny for what I think I find
As a tower may fall I shall not lay down on the floor
I will want for more and more as you open the door
Promises to unfocused dreams is a heart felt tease
There is no reality in this insanity
I can only hide inside my desires
A turning point is coming fast
Will it all last a question to be asked
A loyalty thats is not heard
Which I deserve in abundance
Can you not be what your wishes dream
Do you hold deep in your thoughts
A life that holds no bars
Do you not want the closeness of heart
When does all you speak start
As I am hidden in the dark ....
He was singing Wynette's "Stand by your man"
Bluebirds are busy feeding their young
The sun is taking a siesta behind a cloud
BowWow is portraying Like Mike on TV
An orphan needs a loving family today
BowWow is portraying Like Mike on TV
The world seems upside down tonight
An orphan needs a loving family today
The sun is taking a siesta behind a cloud
The world seems upside down tonight
He was singing Wynette's "Stand by your man"
For the contest
What folly...
The world as we know it is no longer of life
The world as we know it expects life
They dream about their favorite books
and use them to replace their real-world strife
Thank the Twilight
Thank the Potter
For changing the sight
of every loving daughter
Nowadays the world of love has changed
to a world that was once deranged
From where love felt like magic
To where love must be magic
You have to laugh...
The amazing fad
of the undying lad
that makes everyone wish they had that love
but sees what they have and turn away
Men and women want to feel like Bella and Edward
but instead they have to look in the mirror.
They're ruining their relationships because of a book
