~ 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.

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
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
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

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
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
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.

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.
it drounds you in its deepiest sorrows.. wraps around your body ... addicts you worse than a drug... itsquese you heart untill its vanished... it kills you slowly and pinfully from the inside to the out side... puts the slashes in your wrists and legs... makes you feel dead..... inside and outside untill your nothing at alll.... makes me put slashes in my head.... makes me fate my own dread... it keeps comeing... so dround me in my own poison and take the pain away from the love that has vanished..
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...

like tomorow isn't soon enough
I will fly to you
Even if planes don't exist

your the sweetest of sounds

the fire within
