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.
As you go turn out your light
The shadows come out into your eyesight
Lurking around in each corner waiting to be found
Waiting quietly trying not to make a sound
They appear in every form
The scariest ones are in a lightning storm
Some look like witches some look like goblins
They scare you by coming into your dreams
As light tries hard to come into the seams
To help you out with no prevail
Their tries are effortless like a ship without a sail
As the shadows lurk in and the light tiptoes out
You twist and turn making want to shout
So if you're weak and not strong at all
And these unreal ghouls make your skin crawl
Try getting a night light
The shadows come out into your eyesight
Lurking around in each corner waiting to be found
Waiting quietly trying not to make a sound
They appear in every form
The scariest ones are in a lightning storm
Some look like witches some look like goblins
They scare you by coming into your dreams
As light tries hard to come into the seams
To help you out with no prevail
Their tries are effortless like a ship without a sail
As the shadows lurk in and the light tiptoes out
You twist and turn making want to shout
So if you're weak and not strong at all
And these unreal ghouls make your skin crawl
Try getting a night light
This valentine ill try something new,
a very SPECIAL recipe invented just for you,
a touch of pain in a little glass flask,
with a little bit of hatred if you might ask,
shake the mixture with a bit of your crocodile tears,
and dont forget your fake smiles tht fooled me for years,
CHOP my letters and burn my picture,
now heat this at about 30 degree celceius
now add the grief the day u left me in tears,
then heat in that lonely bitter mixture with how i barely slept tht day,
now let's get to the topping that's my favorite part,
ADD what's left from my stabbed,crushed heart....

this mirror is a painting
colored with memories
of your dying life.
In death and pain,
you see it clear,
tho these memories
are suppressed by
the blaze of unseen days.
Days that crave for smile,
but buried by the darkness
of your own.
Your dying life is still here,
impersonal and black,
this clock shows no time
for you, for your time has
stopped a long ago.
In memories of old,
you feed our dilapidated soul
with the same smell that
smothers your thoughts,
as your figure is terrified
to see your dying will.
The mirror has been covered
with cobweb for years,
for your eyes are never going
to be able to see
this dying life within.
Enjoy, comment if you can.

This broken sky is falling.
This shattered earth is crumbling.
This broken heart is bleeding.
This black room is all I see.
The blackness is all I see.
The black is all that I am.
My sky has fallen,
My earth has crumbled,
Yet my heart continues to bleed.
You used to be my,
Sky,
Earth,
Heart,
But, you’re gone.
Now all I see is black, in this black room, within the darkness.
Yet, my heart continues to bleed.

When my world seems to whorl,troll, curl
I don't have to worry,
because my friends put in it pearls.
Whenever I get whirl,nerve ,curve
Those silly buddies, simply smirk
and all my problems get diverged.
What should I say about you guys?
You all rock my life.
Yes,of course, I was in a right path already,
But you all came and made me steady.
I swear , no need of tears
Let's be clear,
you all are My Dear.
you never let me go speechless,breathless,hopeless
No and never, we would never be apart
as something fascinating , would eventually start.
When the light goes down,
you all come and shout.
I love the way you are,
you are the ones i once loved,
and I will love u till
the stars are still
no matter its light or dark
Because I know, you would be there for spark!!

like a shadow,
you don’t live this life,
you’re becoming a shadow
of your destiny.
This cruel fate hates
your laughter,
loving your pain
that sleeps inside
your broken heart.
Broken and tired
of all these lost fights,
your life becomes
invisible
and you don’t care
anymore,
but you do,
you still do.
You’re trying to see
through this fog,
you’re still fighting
for that day,
the day of your peace.
Your path is full
of thorns that
are stabbing you
directly into your hope,
tearing your soul apart,
you’re on the wings of powerlessness.
Help Me Please for i am on my knees begging beyond a beggar praying beyond a saint lying more than a sinner i need someone to set me free from my chains of life, time and time again the same old routine i dont need the same thing over and over again please before my eyes become raw sore for i fear i can see no more sore for every day that leads to night i fear for you and me the temptation to leave them behind everything and everyone, all i know is that i need someone braver and stronger than me mentally, save me for i can not save myself help me for my future health
(Today)
I have felt the wind blow
Whispering Your name
I have seen Your tears fall
When I watch the rain
How could I say there is no God
When all around creation calls
A singing bird, a mighty tree
The vast expanse of open sea
Gazing at a bird in flight
Soaring through the air
Lying down beneath the stars
I feel Your presence there
I love to stand at ocean’s shore
And feel the thundering breakers roar
To walk through golden fields of grain
Neath endless blue, horizon’s frame
Listening to a river run
Watering the earth
Fragrance of a rose in bloom
A newborn’s cry at birth
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
Just like a child

I sat alone.
No one came up to me, none asked if anything was wrong.
I sat alone.
In the corner, where everyone saw but no one noticed.
I sat alone.
I had no friends, I was not ‘cool’ enough for them.
I sat alone.
No one knew my mother had just died from cancer, no one cared.
I sat alone.
Surrounded by my thoughts, but no people. By my words, but no friends.
I sat alone.
Until a girl came and sat by me.
I sat with a girl.
She turned to me and smiled warmly, “Hello.”
I sat with a friend.
(I wrote this because I see some many people sitting all alone everyday, and all it takes is a simple "hello" to brighten their spirits)
