Hate

A stinging pain falls upon my face making my vision turn red. 
I look up into your eyes and see nothing but the rage and hate in your souls windows,
How could someone be so angry?
How can you go day to day knowing what you do?
I was kind, I was good.
But you made me like this.

Hit,
	After Hit,
			After Hit,

Put me deeper,
		And deeper, 
				And deeper,

Into the dark where there was only a spark of hope left 
But that even started fading as you continued to throw you anger at me.
Was I the one who made you like this?
Me your ’one and only’
How could someone be so angry?
How can you go day to day knowing what you do?
I was brave, I was slipping.

Fading,
		And fading,
				And fading,

Into a deep,
		   Deep,
				Deep,

Darkness that made me lose my mind
You made me like this.
I can finally throw my anger at you.
How does it feel now mother?
You cry and ask me to stop, but did you ever listen?
Me your ‘one and only’
How could I be so angry?
How can I go day to day knowing what I do?

Very,
		Very,
				Very,

Simple.

I can go day to day knowing that I made myself free,
Of all the hate you would throw at me.
Can you handle mine?

Final Hour

The final hour has finally come, 
All too slow.
I wish it didn’t have to be this way in a room of white and blue, 
Connected to machines so they know the time has arrived.
Everyday has been painful but not today.
I don’t feel the unforgettable pain of my insides failing one at a time.
They said the test would help.
They would cure.
But they lied, I’ve learned never to believe the one’s wearing white.
All the test did was worsen me, hair falling pass my eyes to the ground below,
And I could nothing but wait for my final hour.
I could only listen to the whispers of grief from those around.
Why do you stand around and watch me shrivel away!
Why is it all you do is hurt me, make me cry! 
Why! Please tell me why I have to go, I’m young I don’t want to go!
But my pain is slowly leaving me, no strength left to fight.
My body slowly flowing with happiness. 
I see old family waving and I relies my hour is up.
My hour is up as the line runs straight for all to know

Dark

The sky is dark. 
Can you see what you have done?
What you caused?
People look but can not see,
See what the world is truly today
You only now what you are told
You never want to believe the fact that the world is coming
Coming to an end
You look in never looking out 
You kill each other day after day
When will this massacre end? 
When will you see it is for nothing?
The truth is you never stop
Only continue this unnecessary war 
Why?
Is it for power?
God cry’s down on you day after day
But it is not enough to wash away the darkness.
You make the sky dark
Can you cleanse it away and make it light again?

Lost Beauty

She was beautiful to all around her
Her hair flowed like running water down stream
Her skin glowed like light and was soft as fur
Eyes of amber gold look at me with gleam

People look at her with envy that burns deep
But she does not care let them envy her
She walks past swaying her hips to the beat
That plays in her head that only she hears

But as time goes on her looks disappear
Wrinkles form at the corner of her eyes
Memory lost with nothing left but fear
Sitting alone in her house left to cry

But realizes that something waits soon after
Family will wait for her and share laughter

Dance

We lay together in this moment 
Time stands still around us and only we move 
I hear you breathing in my ear as your hands slide down my chest 
We make God weep at the dance we perform 
And you cry his name in the bliss you desire 
Am I doing this right for you?
Do you like the way I make you move in my arms?
We are hardly half done as we make our own music play the tone I know you love
 Now you lead and I follow in this love dance
Breathing heavy we work in love make you moan 
Am I doing this right for you my love?
I know I am from the weeping of joy from all the desire you have 
We spin round so you can dance above me 
This dance has barley begun 
The dance was slow 
Our hands roaming looking for the right place to hold 
I sigh in relief as we hold each just right 
Let  us speed it up 
The climax is come in this dance 
The final part is close can you feel it approaching?
Heavy breathing stop momentarily just as the world starts around us again
Looking into the your eyes I know this was right
The dance we have started 
Has come to an end for know.

Love

Our lips touch to the settle sound of moans in the night
Cold sweat drips from your brow
And our souls form into one complete being
One love to rule 
Bodies move together in a dance that make the gods close their eyes
And the sins we commit save a spot in hell for us
But as I hear the sweet sound of your love wrapped around mine
I would give my soul away to save yours
As we move from sitting to standing to laying 
We mark our place our home 
With the love that will never die
The love in the books that we only hear about but never find 
Until we met 
That love became real for me 
For us
Finally we grip each other in the climax of our uniting of our souls
We know that nothing will separate us 
In this life or the next
Love

Sister

My soul cry’s from the pain of the greatest lose someone could imagine
The loss of a loved one
People say time and time again that “it will never happen to them, it’s one and a million”
But the truth is it does happen and when you least expect it to
I cry the tears of loneliness for I have lost a part of myself
I am incomplete now that my love one is gone
I lay in bed and fall into a peaceful slumber so I can remember the times we shared
All the times we made each other laugh
The times we were there for one another when things were tough
Things are tough now and I don’t have the warmth of your comfort or the joy of your smile
But I most hold my head high and remember that you wouldn’t want me to be sad
You would look at the bright side of things never at the bad
I write this for you
For you to know I will not be sad because I know you’re in a better place
Where loved ones care for you and surround you
Rest in peace I love you now and forever.

Found You

Our lives so alike but yet so different
My world full of loneliness
Your love was nowhere to be found
I walk down my path of blood and screams to find a light at the end
They say love at first sight was real 
I never believed in that 
But as my eyes looked into your beautiful brown ones
My soul smiles and the light falls upon me
The screams fade away and my heart beats once more
My world full of loneliness 
Is lonely no more.
I love you

Secrets

My eyes hold the secrets 
That you don’t want to believe
The ones you hide from friends and loved ones
Along with the one of death
Death of your soul
What have you done?
What did you achieve?
How do you live?
The mirrors deny your reflection,
For they see who you are.
The world neglects you sound,
For what you may hear.
Your body betrays your voice,
For what you may say.
You hold hope and shine like the stars
And you redeem yourself
You turn away from evil and spit in his eyes 
He has no control over you 
Only temptation that you decline
You live for yourself.

Think

I sit and watch you, 
Trying to figure out this.
Making you think out,
What will this poem be about.
That’s the trick making you think.
