Chasing Fireflies
Elusive dreams
This pre-life crisis, is killing me
A beautiful tragedy
Who I was wasn't me

You make it easier to be
Easier to be me
It's hard to believe
You make it easy

Speaking silence
Words can break
It feels like we are falling awake
In a place, in a time of our own

You make it easier to be
Easier to be me
It's hard to believe

It felt like the world
Fell from my feet
Gave up on myself
You didn't give up on me
Let myself go
You were still there
Like coming home
Coming up for air

You make it easier to be
Easier to be me
It's hard to believe
You make it easy
Easier to be
To be me


[Lifehouse – Who We Are]

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
this is my favourite love poem, please read, it's beautiful ...

Love's Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?
See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

Fragile


You've been biting bullets all these years, I know
There beside yourself, chokin’ up tears
And you aced avoiding possibility
When you placed your bed upon the bittersweet

Now don't you worry
There's no need to be sorry
(There's still) time to step lightly

Cos the love you used to feel is still in there inside
It may be a faded photograph
But I know you care, so don't hide
If you're scared, I'm here beside you,
If you get lost I'm here to guide you
And I’ll give peace when peace is fragile

Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile

You've been going out of way to agree

told you there was a clown~!
told you there was a clown~!
Poems can be short and sweet.
Some can be long and rough.
While others can be both of that stuff.

Poems have this sort of glow
And when they are running low
Someone reads them and what do you find?
A beautiful story that will get stuck in your mind.

Some poems make you cry.
Some poems make you fly.
Others can make you smile.
While some can even make you feel quite vile.

I like poems because they express feelings.
Even if you don't want anyone to know.
What is going on inseide your head.
It might even confuse you so~

This is what I want you to do.
POst this poem and I will too.
Share with the world around.
Hey look! A picture of a clown!

The Death of Lovers

We shall have beds full of subtle perfumes,
Divans as deep as graves, and on the shelves
Will be strange flowers that blossomed for us
Under more beautiful heavens.

Using their dying flames emulously,
Our two hearts will be two immense torches
Which will reflect their double light
In our two souls, those twin mirrors.

Some evening made of rose and of mystical blue
A single flash will pass between us
Like a long sob, charged with farewells;

And later an Angel, setting the doors ajar,
Faithful and joyous, will come to revive
The tarnished mirrors, the extinguished flames.

MY PEACE
IN A TIME
OF WAR

You seal your past to my imperfect present
You draw the future of my memory
You make love to the fire of my oceans
Luring in the palm of my melancholy
The drowned madness of my delusions
Just for your pleasure

You kiss the violence
Of my breathless silence
Like an explosion of shooting stars
Detangling the lust of my scars
From the bowels of my childhood innocence
Expiating the sin of my deliverance

You slap my dark passion
Your hands clutching to my armor
Your eyes hung to my emotions
Shivering love in my face
In an ageless journey to a place
Where your long sigh numbs my terror

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.

[Lifehouse – Who We Are]
I look down the hallway and sigh,
I can't believe this is why I really wanted to die.
I think to myself and laugh, this is where I first heard your hello,
and now it's our last goodbye.
I came to relise that friends are much more than that.
Yes, some people were born dancers and some were athletic,
but that doesnt matter...wink wink I hope you've started to get it.


I'm going to miss the times we shared together,
The times we used to put bubble gum in the teachers hear when it was rainy weather.
The times we ued to run around in the halls,
The day that we all laughed when Sam walked into a wall.

Times.

There are times when you feel lonely.
Times when you can't talk to your best friend, because she won't take it seriously.
Times when you can't talk to your mum,
because your scared she'll bring it up again.
Times when the people who would usally distract you only make you feel worce without knowing it.
Times when the one person you can talk to is ast asleep at 00:45.
These are the times when you just cry.

(Please forgive any spelling or grammer mistakes.)


First thought.

The first time I saw you,
was only a glance.
I was a fool, you know,
taking a chance.
Thoughts of you and me
Filled my dreams,
only to be ripped
at the seams.
So I'll lay here,
My haert in tatters.
In hope that one day
You might see
Me.

March Madness

By

Jeremy Gould



31 Days will come and go
Through each I'll remember
a past life
of everlasting strife
Each day I'll dismember
a little bit more of my soul

4 Weeks, one lasting memory
will arrive to do its worst
to tie me down
I'll lose more ground
my heart will nearly burst
my mind will agree

1 month will rear its ugly head
I'll return to solitary confinement
a prisoner in hell
it's just as well
'cause if I would break my last commandment
then I'd be better off dead

We're down to the final 4
the grief, the pain, the mourning, the sadness
which shall win this brutal war?
Welcome to my March Madness

when I
have
fears


when i have fears that i may cease to be
before my pen has glean’d my teeming brain,
before high piled books, in charact’ry,
hold like rich garners the full-riper’d grain;
when i behold, upon the night’s starr’d face,
huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
and think that i may never live to trace their shadows,
with the magic hand of chance;
and when i feel, fair creature of an hour!
that i shall never look upon thee more,
never have relish in the faery
power of unreflecting love
then on the shore of
the wide world i stand alone,
and think till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

D A W N


when darkness is no less than everything
you've built become undone
there's no fight and no flight
disaster leaves your passion overrun
it's time to let go
it's time to carry on with the show
don't mourn what is gone
greet the dawn
and i will be standing by your side
together we'll face the turning tide
remembrance can be a sentence
but it comes to you with
a second chance in tow
don't lose it, don't refuse it,
cause you cannot learn a thing
you think you know
a new light is warm
shining down on you after the storm
don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn
and i will be standing by your side
together we'll face the turning tide

we grow old with time
yet young with years
never to give up to fears
but we are never fine
yet we always sing

we live on this earth for all our lives
always experiencing something new
like emotion or sights
there is never peace always pain
and life goes on with time
as we grow so do our souls

without life the would be no time
and without time we would mot have pain
and without pain there is no soul
and with no soul there is no life

The Amulet
by
Jeremy Gould



The bands of gold remind me
of the way you held my hand
so tightly
so comfortably
like you never would let go
Nobody ever wants to let go
including me
Perhaps it's just we don't know how

The design is striking
just like you were
with every breath
with every movement
I could watch you for hours
and never be tired
of seeing you
of being near you

The cold chill that comes
and tickles my neck
every time I put on
that lovely amulet
takes me back to you
The only place I want to be
The only person I care to see
Missing you here with me

I Just Prayed


Hi
I know that it has been a long time
Since you’ve heard an honest prayer of mine
Me
Used to be filled with such energy
The kind that comes from You only

I’ve been praying I’ve been waiting
For that day to come
When I could run
Outside and I could kiss the sun
I’ve been praying I’ve been waiting
For my life to start again

True
There is no happiness except for you
I thought after all this time it was no use
As
My life slowly, emptily passes
I feel there is no cure for this mess

I thought of praying I thought of waiting
For my light to shine
For me to find
The sun again without a try
I thought...

Bright Sea:

When I began building my ship,
I imagined what kind of seas I would sail.
I hoped for seas that were beautiful and pure,
And not polluted by oil tankers,
For my ship cannot sail seas polluted by oil.
But as I began my journey,
More and more seas became polluted.

Until I awoke one morning
And saw glitter on the horizon.
I thought at first I must be dreaming,
But then it became all too clear-
I had found a sea that was not polluted!
And not just any sea,
But a bright sea.
I started to sail toward Bright Sea,
But I felt my heart become as heavy as an anchor,
When I saw an oil tanker also sailing...
