THE SADNESS OF THE MOON

by: Charles Baudelaire

HE Moon more indolently dreams to-night
Than a fair woman on her couch at rest,
Caressing, with a hand distraught and light,
Before she sleeps, the contour of her breast.

Upon her silken avalanche of down,
Dying she breathes a long and swooning sigh;
And watches the white visions past her flown,
Which rise like blossoms to the azure sky.

And when, at times, wrapped in her languor deep,
Earthward she lets a furtive tear-drop flow,
Some pious poet, enemy of sleep,

Takes in his hollow hand the tear of snow
Whence gleams of iris and of opal start,
And hides it from the Sun, deep in his heart.

I loved you so much
I thought about you everyday
But there was something
That I never got to tell you.

I love you
I want you
But now I can't
Anymore. Now that
I am gone.

Everytime in the halls,
And I passed by you,
My heart would beat so fast.
Sometimes, I thought you liked me too.

We have been friends for a long time,
But, it hurts everytime that I think of you
You aren't there anymore.

I never got to tell you how much I loved you.
How much I cared about you.
How much you helped through tough times.

I guess we were never meant to be.
I'm sorry.

I have a best friend
her name is Lucia
We've been friends since kinder
And ever since the second grade,
I've had a crush on her
Now, a crush on her still

We text each other nonstop
But she hadn't texted me in days
I start to worry and think she's busy
I start pacing and I keep looking at my phone
But it would end up blank
Hours passed by and I keep looking
at my phone...and still blank

I fall asleep then I'm awaken by my mom
Her eyes are swelled and red
She tells me the news; Lucia was murdered and they just found her body in the lake
I look at her confused
Then tears run down my cheek

My best friend is dead...

When I smiled,
When I laughed,
It was because I thought of death.
When I cried,
When I screamed,
It was because my death was to slow.
When I smiled my final smile,
No one cried,
No one cared.
I grabbed a knife and a slip of paper,
I wrote my final words,
I sat in my room staring at the knife.
I heard a laugh,
I heard a cry,
Turned to see my family right by my side.
I ran away,
I’m scare to death,
I grab my knife but it wont kill.
Someone had grabbed my arm,
Someone cried for me to stop,
I turned and fell deep in love.
I turned so fast,
I fell so fast,
You caught me on the verge of death.
You saved me,
You cared about me,
I felt alone,
I now felt loved,
But the next day you died,
The next day I cried,
I need to be with you,
I want to be with you,
I grabbed the gun,
I pulled the trigger,
Then I saw a beautiful figure.
You came,
I saw,
You wrapped me in your arms,
And now we will walk together,
Forever.

You kissed another girl but why couldn't that be me?
Then you say I love you to her why isn't that me your
Saying That to?
When you hug her, why am I not the one to be hugged?
When you protect her from bad things, why aren't I the one to feel safe?
When she cries, how come I'm not the one to crie on your
Shoulder?
When you hold her tight, why can't I be held in your arms?
When you tell her we belong together, why couldn't we be together?

When you make her laugh, how come I can't be the one
To smile and laugh with you?
When you see her smile and start kissing her, why can't that be me?

Here I lay so pale and weak
I wish I could be healty,
coz that is what I seek.
Seeing, people living so happily,
I do not need to think twice.
I wish I could have what a healthy person has,
being jumpy, happy and so full of life.

Where most of these days I feel,
I can't talk or breath
As people say live and let live.
Why must I be buried in my bed,
Feeling no hope, in my heart or head.

People can jump around,
be who they want to be.
Where as I feel like I can't get out of bed,
but thats just me.
Seeing, people living so happily,
I do not need to think twice.
I wish I could have what a healthy person has,
being jumpy, happy and so full of life.

The distance between us
can be so sweet and disturbing
the same time.
I look at you stealthily,
admiring the beauty of your body.

Oh this can't be real,
oh am i falling in love again?

Should i stop?
Am i being reckless?
Does he look at me the same way
i look at him?

Too many questions,
don't know what to think,
my heart is so full of him,
i don't want to think.

If i kiss him,
will it be that sweet as i imagined?
Oh,save me,
my heart is so full of him!

I'm such a coward when he's around,
trembling on every small attention
he's been giving to me.

But,he sees.
He sees that very well.
He knows my heart is almost his,
and he's playing this game,
he's vain,and i'm just a catch.

Oh will he betray me?
I should have thought of that
before.
I shouldn't let that happen
so fast.

But now it's too late,
isn't it?
I buried my fears so deep
i thought i fooled them.
But they are always awake
and aware.
The fears of my own know
that very well...
My heart is so full of him.

A remembrance...
Of what,
of who?
Could it hurt,
could the pain return again?

There's me holding that
cold glass of wine,
staring at her,
trying to forget...

There's he,
sad and distant
like usual.

Oh why,
oh why?

There's me again,but this time
i was happy.
So happy for all those sweet
kisses he gave me...

And again he,looking at me
and wondering...

Oh i should have known!

Inside my fantasy i seek
for his kisses that
poisoned my body,
i search for the reason,
trying to see...

There's he again,
oh his kisses,
what did he do to me,
oh he fooled me again...

Nothing was real,
he was wondering,
oh he was trying to see
her in my eyes,
oh...

He gave me all that sweetness,
but he belongs to her.
Oh,he's so sad because of her.
He's so distant because of her.
Oh,he disrupt my dreams
because of her.

Poetry in Music
by
Gregory Page



Long ago and a world away
Held a promise of a brand new day
I crossed my fingers for a love to keep
Tornadoes swept me off of my feet
Sleeping dogs dream of chasing a ball
Like a blossom from a tree that falls
I float down with a raven in the sky
In a graveyard I feel so alive
It's so cold here, in my bed without my love
I cover my emotions, I'm half dead
And the hours laid as the memory still haunts me
And it's tearing me apart
There are fireworks exploding in my heart

Love is always just within my grasp
Like a UFO it’s gone so fast
Was it real or just in my mind?
I ask the...

TO US FRIENDS
TO US LOVERS
TO US FANTASIES


Our minds are full of so many worlds
But still they crave to know us more

Our hearts are full of so much love
But still they crave to give us more

Our lives are on a constant race
And still run for faith and grace

Our hands are full of so many words
That crave to be heard

Our present moment is so full of all of us
But still it craves to live within us

Our souls are full of our sultry poetry
But still they crave to breathe us closely

Our breaths are speaking our names
But still they crave their warmth on our faces

Our bodies are close to our touch
But still they fever...

FROM..TO
ME^.^YOU



a simple word
for a special world
for you and me

a simple thought
for a special bond
one cannot see

it wraps us up
in its cocoon
and holds us fiercely
in its womb

this simple word
was created from the Moon
for you and me

in space and in time
my soul desperately
tries to find you

in the reality
of our infinity
it is so easy
for me to tell you

that all I want
is to LOVE you
all of YOU

i want to love you
like no one else
could ever love me
like you do

will you ever
forgive me
to love you
like I do?

Here I am I'm sitting alone again
I'm staring up at the sky which at this lonely moment is my only friend
Suddenly as I gaze upon the night
I notice the stars began to shake and dance and fall into the darkness
They exploded down
I knew what I had to do

I ran up to the top of the hill and took a hold for you
The sweetest star that fell and yes
I held on to it close to the numbness in my heart
And I kissed a star
I wrapped it up inside a golden bow and I ran away just to find you

This was your gift a star that I kissed
The galaxy that lived inside your eyes was in need of a brand new shining light
I wished...

Am i being so frightened
to accept the truth
about who you really are?
Maybe,
maybe that's who i am...

A frightened girl
that has created
her own world of fantasy
just to protect herself
from all those dark thoughts
that could ruin her peace.

Inside this agony of love
she lets the fear to enter,
she lets the tears dripping
so slowly,
intensively.

But,
every inch of my body
yearn to feel your
soft hands.
Desire will be locked
deep inside myself,
to burn there,
to fly there...




To you,
my love. ♥

miss you love
you disapear
your like a ghost
but I do not fear
Behind my tears
you never come
I miss your face
the angelic grace
I miss you love
you I cannot see
I cannot speak
it's been forever love
sice I've talked to you
I miss you more
than I ever loved
love is love
and missing you is sad
I need to see you
to talk to you
I need to love you again
I always love you but I miss loving you to your fave
love
love love
come back
mysteriously the rose petals have all turned black
the flame is blowing out
and warmth is torn from me
I miss you love
please come back to me
my arms are waiting and I need you more than ever
I miss you love

The world was on fire and
no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire
will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet
somebody like you
I never dreamed I'd love
somebody like you
No I didn't want to fall in love
No I don't want to fall in love with you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

And I don't want to fall in love
No I don't want to fall in love with you

The world was on fire and
no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire
will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

Love is brittle madness
This world is only gonna break our hearts
But my heart already fell … for you

Where is the hope
you used to keep
inside,
where is the light
that used to lead you
through life?
Why is all gone?
Why is all black to you?

In living with a fear
of possibilities,
that are so dark,
you can not even
recognize the light.

My eyes,
now full of fear,
inability,
dreads.

I can not just stand,
i can not just watch!
It tears my heart,
it ruins my peace.

You watch that pill
like a salvation,
you think your pain
will go away.

Oh i can not watch it!
I can not accept it!

Your will is melting
in your mouth,
you think your pain will go away,
just like that,
just like that.

You believe that's the cure,
you think that's the...

Hide in your shell, because the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind, painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger, too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You’re waiting for someone to understand you

But you’ve got demons in your closet and you’re screaming out to stop it
Saying life’s begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you, grab on to what you scramble for

Don’t let the tears linger on inside now, cause it’s...

You've got such a pretty smile
It's a shame the things you hide behind it
Let 'em go
Give it up for a while
Let 'em free and we will both go find it

I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
I know that you do not feel invited
But, come back, come back in from the cold

Tell me how you really feel
Tell me what is on the inside of you
All the somethings you conceal
Only keep away the ones who love you

Step away then from the edge
Your best friend is life is not your mirror
Back away, come away

I am here and I will be forever

I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
Trust me and don't keep that on the inside
Soon you'll be locked out on your own

You're not alone
No, you are not alone
And don't say you've never been told
I'll be with you 'til we grow old
'Til I'm in the ground and I'm cold
I'm not sitting up here on some throne
Like a dog you can always come home
Dig up a bone … look around

Its is hard to look
up to a leader who
keeps his ear to the ground......

only the bold and the
brave get to the top.......

The strength of a country
or creed lies in the
ture sense of loyalty it can
arouse in the heart of its people.

The world is not perishing for
the want of clever or talented or
well-meaning men.
It is perishing for the want of men
of courage and resolution who, in devotion
to the cause of right and truth,
can rise above personal feeling and private ambittion.

He who gains victory over other men
is strong; but...... he who gains a victory over
himself is all powerful.

Without

I'd never felt so dead before
So cold, so pained, unbearably sore
I never thought I'd hurt like this
Without you here, your murderous kiss

Without your hand to envelope mine
Without your voice, deep, divine
Without your dark, concealing eyes
Without your words, your venemous lies

I'd never thought of myself this way
So alone, every night, every ending day
I always saw my reflection next to yours
But I'm in darkness, behind closed doors

Without your speech, always mysterious
Without your smile, making me delirious
I thought you'd stay forever, you'd care
But now all I remember is your hateful stare
