~ 2 of my favorite love poems ~

WHEN YOU ARE OLD
by William Butler Yeats

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;


And bending down beside the glowing bars murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead and hid his face among a crowd of stars.

LOVESONG by Ted Hughes

He loved her and she loved him. / His kisses sucked out her whole past and future or tried to
He had no other appetite / She bit him she gnawed him she sucked
She wanted him complete inside her / Safe and sure forever and ever
Their little cries fluttered into the curtains

Her eyes wanted nothing to get away / Her looks nailed down his hands his wrists his elbows
He gripped her hard so that life / Should not drag her from that moment
He wanted all future to cease / He wanted to topple with his arms round her
Off that moment's brink and into nothing / Or everlasting or whatever there was

Her embrace was an immense press / To print him into her bones
His smiles were the garrets of a fairy palace / Where the real world would never come
Her smiles were spider bites / So he would lie still till she felt hungry
His words were occupying armies / Her laughs were an assassin's attempts
His looks were bullets daggers of revenge / His glances were ghosts in the corner with horrible secrets
His whispers were whips and jackboots / Her kisses were lawyers steadily writing
His caresses were the last hooks of a castaway / Her love-tricks were the grinding of locks
And their deep cries crawled over the floors / Like an animal dragging a great trap
His promises were the surgeon's gag / Her promises took the top off his skull
She would get a brooch made of it / His vows pulled out all her sinews
He showed her how to make a love-knot / Her vows put his eyes in formalin
At the back of her secret drawer / Their screams stuck in the wall

Their heads fell apart into sleep like the two halves / Of a lopped melon, but love is hard to stop
In their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs / In their dreams their brains took each other hostage

In the morning they wore each other's face.

Sounds of past

echo in my head,

seeking for

the truth,

remembering,

memorizing...




Sounds of past

still harm my soul,

but now I'm strong,

I can accept the truth.




Sounds of past

echo in the depth

of my heart,

though some truths

have never been found.

We just see these

through our eyes.




Sounds of past

still echo,

sometimes silently,

but we know

that the past still

lives inside,

as a memory,

as a burning wound.




Sounds of past

still echo

inside.

As a memory,

as a burning wound.

away you left
flying far from me
shooken by the wind
the pain
we were meant to be

far you left
Never to Return
the pain destroyed you
you were never to be whole
There was nothing left to learn


You left me that cold night
Without even a hug
I was left behing
all alone
with just a red lady bug

You left me
crying alone
A week had passed
slow and painful
my red lady bug sat dull

you were still gone
never coming home
I couldn't forget you
but you were still here
the red lady bug was still here

I knew you were gone
there was no hope
but somehow I felt you
I knew you were near'
the Red lady bug was nothing to fear

you are still gone
not coming back
I miss you
I feel you
and all I have left is the red lady bug

The Doll

Left & lonley
Abondoned & destroyed

the doll will seek revenge

The hate and pain have all subsided and left a fiery passion for revenge

The doll will have revenge

In pursiut of unfair justice in an unfair world

The doll will gain revege

The war that rages the hate that raises
All left the doll empty & tattered & broken

The doll will get revenge

The doll left broken by the side of the rode
Ignored by all mankind

The doll will receive her revenge

Who determines what is just in this unjust world

Not the doll or me or you

In a world of wrong what is right

Not the doll or me or you

Who leads the way in this endless maze called Life

Not the doll or me or you

One More Chance

By Cody Herman

Do you remember the good old days?

When we used to laugh and play?

Nothing worried or stopped us

We would run until we were breathless

Tell me, when did it stop?

Why did it all drop?

Was it because of something I did?

I know I was stupid

I didn't mean to do it

It came bit by bit

It wasn't till the end

That I knew I had lost a friend

It never worked out

But by then there was no doubt

If I could turn time back, I would

Even if it was just to see our childhood

I ask for one more chance

Just to advance

To turn back the clock

For our friendship again to unlock

It was my entire fault

Our comradeship didn't just halt

I wished I never started that romance

Again, I ask for one more chance

I finally drift off
I enter my dream state
I can't control my thoughts
As fear inside of me grows stronger

Spiders
Arachnids crawling everywhere
I try to wake myself
But my body tells me to sleep

The crimson room
With the nice wood floor
Dark red and brown wooden walls
With dark red flavored furniture

The basement
People all around the brown wood basement
I can faintly see light through the tiny window
Cobwebs all around
Huge wasps
One lands on my shoulder
I think it just turned into a big brown tarantula

I try to awaken
Nothing helps
As I find myself in an aquarium
Fish all around me
Am I human in this dream?
As...

When I think of you
A tear falls and I start to cry
And brings me to sleep like a childs lullaby
When I see you
I have to look away
And pray that my hurt can come another day
So I can feel better
When I hear your voice
I have to tune it out not that I have a choice
We may like each other
But if we come together and start
We would burn our soles and fall apart
Your like fire and I'm like ice
When we touch we hurt each other
We will never be able to be together
And for now all I can do is wish

Yesterday we both dreamed in a perfect world
Yesterday the words exceeded our lips
Because in our eyes we glanced each other's soul
And the truth did not hesitate in your look
Yesterday we promised each other
That we'd conquer the entire world
Yesterday you swore to me
This love would last forever
Because to be mistaken once is enough
To know what is to love sincerely
What have you done?
Today you've destroyed hope with your pride
Today you dimmed my glance with your fury
You've erased all our story with your rage
And you've mistaken so much love that I gave you
With a permission to break my soul like this...

She inhales sharply.
She hates the irony, and the pain is too much.
She cannot see his face;
He has advanced from behind.
But she does not need too,
She knows his face too well.
His knife digs deeper into her soft cheek.
He is carving a heart;
Mocking her obsession of him.
He whispers something incoherent to her.
She wishes she had listened closer.
He caresses her unmarked cheek with his gloved hand.
She closes her eyes,
Half wishing it was over,
Half wishing it would never end.

~*As she rolls the dice*~
~*I must think twice*~
~*About who I stand by*~
~*If we lose the bet*~
~*I'll surely get*~
~*A big shot to the head*~
~*I will be dead*~
~*I will be dead*~
~*At least for a while*~
~*No one ever understood*~
~*Why he killed an innocent child*~
~*I will be dead*~
~*I will be dead*~
~*It surely is true*~
~*I will wait until you die*~
~*So I could be with you*~

She lays there crying, dreaming about flying.
She picks up the knife, ready to end her life.
She tightens her fists, ready to end all this.
As tears roll, she starts to feel droll.
She feels numb, why did they call her dumb?
She still, about to take a pill.
He comes in, hopeing she her depression wouldn't win.
He feels dumb, but ready to run.
He lays in bed with her, she's cold and dead.
He thinks " I'm too late, she met her fate."
He takes a knife, wishing she could be his wife.
He thinks to himself "I love you, I wish you where here to say you do too."
They both ended there lives. Entering the light they see eachothet, and hold one another tight.

smash and kill is all i think about
the same way you hurt me with no doubt
you know the purpose your fake surface
that splendid face that kept the same pace
i know it makes no sense but im just so dense
you cut off all my defense the reason you did this makes no sense
a flood of memories crashes my vision my love for you has come to a division
our sweat embrace those meaningless words , and my only petition
was for your love , but i guess braking hearts is your tradition
you shoved yourself into my heart , and we sweared we would never be apart
those walks by the park, those dreams with no end , a brand...

Cold and quiet
night
is sleeping
along with
peaceful souls.


But mine
looks
at night,
thinking
and mourning,
it cries
at long,
silent nights...


Looking
for a comfort,
it stares
at glittering
moon.
As I cry,
moonlight
is watching me...


Listening
to my sorrow,
it follows me.
As I cry,
it watches me,
trying to
give me a peace.


As I cry,
moon is looking
at my pain,
trying to
comfort me,
it sings me
a lullaby.


Giving me
a spark of joy,
it covers me
by its glow,
singing me
a lovely
lullaby,
it guides me
to the stars...

will run to you
like tomorow isn't soon enough
I will fly to you
Even if planes don't exist
baby your the one for me
your the only one for me
and everything I love, the love is voiced
remember
forever
your the sweetest of sounds
kiss me forever
remember my arms
your are my baby
my beutiful lady
savior in the fields
summer in the winter
baby be mine
your the one to complete me
save me with your lips
the fire within
Oh how I long for me
you caught me
you held me
you'll never let me go
I am still here
even through the storms
baby your are my life

*For all you loyals out there that really truly BeLIEve. :)*

The stage lights are bright and blue
He has wings and can fly
Marriage, fantasy, villains
I truly BeLIEve.

Magic in the big atmosphere
This dream is never ending
Let me stay here forever darling
And let's all BeLIEve

Crimson and her monsters try to hurt you
Criss, I will help protect you
We connect through dreams and love
Because we all BeLIEve!

The poppies on the ground
The rabbits coming towards us
All the dancers and dolls
Please do not awaken me

Do you BeLIEve?
Do you?
I do.
I shall forever BeLIEve
The stars at night whisper to me
Telling me you...

I lay in bed alone at night and wonder why I'm here.I do so much for everyone
Why don't they show they care.
I met this girl who said she loved me
something I haven't heard in so long.
She used me for my money
what a ride she took me on.
There is so much hurt I feel, so much anger trapped inside.
Sometimes I wish my dad was here, but to me he's not alive.
I have no one to talk to
These drugs seem to be the only way
Turns out it's a lie just like the smile I put on each and everyday.
I know outside I'm smiling, It's the face I fake for you,
But inside my soul is crying and there is nothing I can...
