More Than Meets The Eye Poems

Life started out pretty well, of that I won’t complain,
Somehow then I lost it, god knows I can’t explain.
Melancholy has taking over, Good times have gone awry 
Life is a haze and passing, like the blink of a teary eye.

I’m...Read More

she runs down the hall 
she is meSsY 
she is LouD
she is an extrovert

does not mean she sometimes wants to cry 
being sad and feeling low has crossed her...Read More

When it came to dating I had a soul full of sorrow
But all of my friends told me to hang in there
When we met I felt you looking into my soul
My soul laid bare with all protection lost
They say absence...Read More

By a HAIR, the bullet misses
There's more than meets the EYE today
But the river's MOUTH is too wide, 
My NECK of the woods far away

The weariness hard to SHOULDER
This BODY of water my bane
No where to go, with heaving CHEST
Hard...Read More

Patience of accusations begin to thin 
As they toss complaints at me from now til then
If i could summarize my existence that easily i would 
But another question is that if i even should 

Raised in a household of hulks

There are beautiful creatures to grace plains.
There are beautiful flowers for bouquets. 
There are beautiful people …
         natural and otherwise.
Whether people, creatures or flowers,
        there...Read More

When you’ve felt the hatred of others,
Upon your skin and heart, 
Because you were different,
There is no forgetting it.

It marks your relationships, 
It ruins your thoughts,
It makes you loathe yourself,
And that’s only the start of it.

You want to make others...Read More

Beneath me I see you laying lost,broken,in pieces
I wanted to hold you-to tell you this too shall pass
I waited for you to see the beauty inside that only my eyes could see
Beneath me you lay all your beautiful pieces glittering...Read More

Looking all around, I see nothing but black. 
Yet when I look down, I see a sliver of color. 
A sign that tells me there is hope of going back.
Surrounded by darkness, you keep me sane 
In a sea of...Read More

When I'm licking toads I regress into a dream
Glory is bestowed you won't believe what I have seen
We travel this same road don't know where it may lead
The greedy overload take much more than they need
When I'm licking toads I...Read More

Death is just the beginning.


A mother’s natural instinct, a sixth sense and premonitions.
Surely this can’t all just be a coincidence?
Surely this proves, there’s more than meets the eye?
Surely this proves, we had a past life?
Maybe nobody actually dies and floats...Read More

Don't judge before you know
Don't laugh before you go 
There's more than meets the eye
A broken boy inside

Fighting depression
Fallen prey to the great deception
Life at home is tough
He's almost had enough 
Searching for a meaning 
Not sure which way to...Read More

Waiting for nothing
And everything to happen
Waiting a lifetime for you

Waiting for anything
Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come back down
I’m in love with a boy
Who shall never know how much

Sitting and waiting for everyone to catch up
It’s...Read More

There's power abounds within our worlds,
that science will deny.
Just silly folks with twisted minds
who rant and rage and lie!
If they can't see, or touch or smell,
they know it isn't there.
Until the day, to their dismay
it's forced on them to share!

Now...Read More

Deeper the little green seed is pushed into the ground
Watered every day and every day the little green seed grows
Have never seen a seed be so profound
Soon it will be a beautiful rose

But first the little green seed needs to...Read More

Don't judge before you know
Don't laugh before you go
There's more than meets the eye
A broken boy inside

Trying to fight depression
Fallen prey to the great deception 
Life at home is tough
He's almost had enough

Searching for a meaning
Not sure which way to...Read More

Sometimes I wonder where I am in the scheme of things;
I often ponder who I am.
The more I age the more epiphany's I get;
each of them making a different man.
Yesterday's me could never foresee who I am now.
I can't pretend...Read More

Burst into a thousand shards
Sparkle, glint in the moonlight
Fall on those who question you
Your integrity touched
And ice cold will you turn
Burst into a thousand shards
Shining in the sunlight
Beauty in your rage
Inspiring belief
That there is more than meets the eye
About this...Read More

How much fortitude will one have when wind howls?
Is usually different then before the demon prowls
Anyone can be brave when he is the one that fouls 
But what is the nature of wisdom from point of view of creaks of...Read More

Haven’t they seen where time stands still and the sun kisses the morning sky 
Running free from the break of day, laughter echoing for miles
Oh yes, it was easier then, when we were only 10
Spirit alive with tomorrows promise and...Read More

why is it when i look in your eyes,
i see the love burning inside me.
why is it when you hug me,
the world melts with us.
why is it when you leave ,
i can't find myself.
why is is when you say bye,

Don't blame the bearer of bad news -
A gun doesn't kill by itself or a knife,
Nor a violent video game or hostile views;
An evil act is but wrought by a mind's strife.

When you nurture a seedling or stunt its growth,
You...Read More

Speeding along life's highway
With the scenery flashing by
Must stop and smell the roses
There's more than meets the eye

We miss the tiny intricacies 
Subtleties that mean so much
Life's delightful wee treasures
The warmth of a babies touch

A gentle breeze at daybreak
Welcoming a...Read More

Beyond the flowers,
Mountains stand at the distance
Filling the landscape..

Covered with white snow,
Stand out against everything
By their tall structure..

Catch all attention 
By beauty, but there's always
More than meets the eye..

If we could only comprehend 
The miracle of this hour;
Awareness of existence 
Is beyond poetic power.  
As something we tend to overlook
In our daily routine woes;
Lost in pain and suffering 
Forgetting what we know.
Deep within and out again,
Intangibly unbound;
The...Read More
