Tell Me Now

It is going to be what it has to be,
the only change is for a baby,
I know what is inside,
your crazy heart is lying to your eyes.

Tell me now,
would it had been easier,
not to sit around and tease me,
I bury the love I once knew.

Angel's sparkling eyes,
the kiss of the sunset through the clouds,
the whispers of the wind,
oceans to floods take away.

Tell me now,
would it had been easier,
just to throw away the lies,
and just adjust to life?

First Impressions

When your eyes first looked down at me,
I thought I would be joining the army,
that what a mistake I had made,
but those thoughts only lasted to go away.

Now I think just how cool,
you really are the nicest teacher,
the mistake I thought I made,
made me realize that I am totally amazed.

When you shared your passions with the class,
I smiled and sat tight,
I had not shared the same passion for quite some time,
but your sharing rekindled that light in my life.

Out of all the things I have learned from you,
I found that your inner heart has shown through,
that first impressions are not always as they seem,
thank you for teaching us to dream.

Buried Alive

Life is not a field of daisies,
to those who try to make it roses,
these posers of fly traps,
let off their beauty while eating you alive.

I feel very lonely,
as if I am being buried alive,
I look up at the pine box I am in,
as I realize that dirt has silenced my cries.

Beaten without cause,
hands of many around my throat to stay,
gasping for my last breath of air,
as my last words catch wind and fly away.

Voices in my head,
of those teasers and the lies,
not even one person,
can understand this of my life.

Signs Of Time

I feel as if I am confused,
as if I could be used,
as if I am weakening down,
but to my nature to never wear a frown.

You show me signs of acceptance,
and signs of reject as well,
I do not know whose side you are on,
or am I just confused?

I was told to not be discouraged,
for I am a child of God,
and He has His arms around me,
and His guard will never be let down.

Now I feel like a temporal distortion in time,
like grapes crushed for wine,
I wish you would just make up your mind,
so we could be together to the end of time.

Season's Inspiration

Your lips could color a rose,
your cheeks are like a warm sunset,
your eyes are like snowflakes,
glittering their frosty wake.

The summer is your birth,
warm and cheery,
it fills all life,
it is a running brook of time.

The fall is you growing up,
into the gentleman that you will be,
the winter are the problems,
that you will face with pride.

Now that spring has drawn near,
you are fully reared,
this gentleman that you are,
conquer the bad so I would see no harm.

Hidden Remembrance

As fire burns in the night,
I seek to leave from this might,
if I must stay,
then let me die.

Bruises hidden,
behind a strong body,
pain that never will cease,
becomes a lease for being tough.

As she falls down,
without a single breath,
she searches to seek,
her final death.

Away from her slave master,
she will not go wild,
for she remembers where she came from,
for it has not been but a while.

I Know You Very Well

I know what you feel,
inside and out,
you hold back the monster,
that is begging to be let out.

Immature children,
who will not let you be,
if this monster was to be let out,
all these pests would flee.

You are a very accomplished person,
even though you may be hurting,
you have a heart of gold,
which will gracefully grow old.

You hold your emotions very well,
it is hard to see,
but I can tell,
because I know what you feel.

Truth And Forgiveness

A love not forgotten,
sweet brown eyes,
a tongue only for truth,
and not for lies.

A new year awaits,
what I see beyond my cage,
the only one to wait,
never to stop and think.

Eyes of golden brown,
afraid to not win a crown,
outside he is happy with cheer,
inside he is down with fear.

Fall down as if to sleep,
no one deserves to weep,
yourself aloud and not to creep,
this is not what makes you weak.

Earth, Wind, And Fire

Hands tired and worn,
a female with much scorn,
she will be torn,
from the shadows of time.

Some poems do not rhyme,
some have claimed mine,
they are running out of time,
for I refuse to be mimed.

Time as our enemy,
and water as our friend,
without both we do not live,
without one-blind.

Authority overpowers,
common people withdrawn,
the tables will one day turn,
where authority is not known.

Let Me Know

A handsome man,
with muscle and charm,
he does not have a bone in his body,
that would cause any harm.

His interests as mine,
a heart as pure as gold,
blinded eyes,
are not that old.

You are a stranger in my life,
you have not come to shine your light,
where there is a will there is might,
I do want you to hold me tonight.

I am easy to talk to,
some say that makes me beautiful,
I want to know what makes you beautiful,
instead of waiting for you.
