Long Atherton Poems

I know every song and the way it goes
I try to stay away from bimbos and hoes
Me and my friends play games...

Heart like stone
Skin like ice
Eyes deep as a cave
Hair that flows like a wave

You seem so empty
You are here in body
But not in soul
I want to wake up your passion
I want to get you out...

She hit me hard
Quick sharp blow
The harp of a bard
Can't fix this song
For this melody
I can not sing along

The sound echos through my brain
Driving me insane
I want to go to sleep
And never wake up
Because these...

I miss her
She was all mine
But I let stupidity take control
And now I will pay my toll

I am a fool
For letting her go
But I deserve this
You reap what you sow

She was perfect
One hundred percent worth...

Thank you fellow poets  in poetry soup

For leaving all your kind thoughts and critiques

You have given me the inspiration to  continue on

And for that I am humbled and grateful

May twenty ten be filled...

The tears fall down like rain
Not waking up to you drive me insane

The now so dark abyssal nights
Is not worth the drinking and our fights

I wish I could be a better man
I wish I could...

As the hours slowly drift by
All my hopes start to die

The current hour is two
And all I can think about is you
I wish you knew I loved you all along
I think of you all day

A lost opportunity
Stared at from the open window
Time now moves slow
But it's time to let go

You reap what you so
And I could never say
That I felt this way
And it hurts me today

I dwell on past...

Washing up

My hand trembles as I think of what I must do
I have a washing up bowl full of pots and pans to clean it’s the truth
A site so horrid that the devil’s own machinations...

I get lost in your smile
Day to day I think of you awhile
Your captivating eyes
They are my demise
Wrapped in your charm
Wrapped in your grace
I long to see that beautiful face

And every time I think of...

There is something missing
I could never put my finger on it
I write to get out affection
But all of it just bottles up
I don't know what to do
I want someone that I can talk to
About everything
And...

Fresh smell in the air
Cool breeze in my hair
Today is a fine day
To take all your worries away
Just relax and live for today

School is no worry
You do not need to hurry
Take step by step
And you...

I am truly scared
Scared nobody can have a passion for me the way I do them
Scared that most good poets were depressed and that I am becoming a good poet
Scared that every girl I meet...

As I pull out my retainer
And put it in the container
I am ready for bed

Every thought of us can come true
And in my dream
Everything is...

I get nothing but a simple remark
All I want is you to feel a spark

Something that will make you...

I am writing so much
Because her
I can never touch

She is outside my world
My heart has been whirled
Where it has gone
I am not certain
But at least I feel better
This is workin

With everything in a whirl
I can...

As I kiss you upon the brown
Stare into my glowing eyes now
I will tell you of many nights
While I ponder your many fights

Pointless they may be
But it led you to knowing me
As I embrace you...

They give me mixed emotion
They can make me smile
Or think about it for awhile
What does it really mean to have and to hold?
I wish I could just unfold
Into the life of another
Become close as ever
Overcome...

You walked away today
Because there was nothing left to say

We had lost everything we had
I am left in this house alone and sad

I lay awake tonight
And in my head I think back to our fight

I...

With my heart on the run
I will no more come undone
For her it wants to find
And until she sees that
My emotions will forever be blind

And forever in a time
When all I saw was her
And I...

Alone in the dark
I've never felt so apart
He was out of sight
Disappeared in the night

When I awoke
I was in a weird place
He was a stranger
With a familiar face

He picked me up
After I was down
He had...

Feet keep moving back and forth I can not stop
I am getting tired but I just keep racing
I'll keep running till I find what I seek
I want my heart to start pacing

Swiftly I keep running

She was my influence
For the breaking of nations
Now spread in denominations

My heart

It, I can never find
Because the only one who is not blind
I can not find

My heart

Can never be found
For it makes a sound
And the...

When nothing is going your way
When you can truly sit there and say

You hate your life
I want to be there for you in your time of strife

I don't want you to be so alone
So relax...

A aching in my heart weary
A beautiful night gone dead and dreary
Tonight I got a call
I thought we had it all

When I saw who it was a smile came to me
I couldn't wait to talk...
