You dont know me

You think I'm a good student
You think my life is perfect
You think I pay attention
And you also think I'm an angel
Well your all wrong

Brothers
A brother
Stupid yet helpful
Caring and protecting
Rudely
Blood

Daddy
Who will I cry to when i get scared
Who will I tell what happened at school, if only I tell my secrets to my dad
Who will tuck me in bed
Who will I tease and laugh with or at
Who will I be able to beat at a viseo game
Who will be able to say that he will protect me, no matter what
Who will I be able to go to the movies with her father, if hes not there
Who will I be able to tell my friends how great of a father i have
Who will be at my side, no matter the obstacles
Who will I be able to run to help if someone bullies me
Who will I be able to say to leave me no matter what
Who will I hear someone say "my little girl"
who will I hear someone say "thats my girl"

Love
I was happy to see my boyfriend
after so long being apart for days
I wanted to tell him all about what happened
but it changed when I saw him kissing someone else
Tears welled up in my eyes, coming out rapidly
I ran away, not wanting to see anything else
Then I heared my named called; "Angelica!"
But I kept running, running from the pain I felt

WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE

posted by juicyjossy9

Where
Do We Draw
The Line

On your palm an endless wonder
The lines that speak the truth without a sound
And in your eyes a waste of tireless hunger
Already looks for prey to run down

So why do we keep up this charade?
And how do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait?
What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If it can't be my design
Tell me where do we draw the line?
Tell me where do we draw the line?

The dance of flames and shadows in the street
Make poetry nobody's ever heard
The weight of loneliness stands on your feet
The cage already there around the bird

So why don't...

DESIRE

posted by juicyjossy9

D E
S I
R E

fatal velocity, comes on with a rush
overpowering, gives the final push

what never moves, is never still
who has the final word
it holds the world in a single pill
and all life rendered absurd

if you …
kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial
but can you run all your life?
kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar
you can run but not hide!
so run for your life

a false sincerity, a liar and a thief
my pulse and memory, a comfort within grief
what never moves, is never still, who has the final word
it holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

if you …
kill sweet desire, faith...

SLEEP

posted by juicyjossy9

sleep

hear your heartbeat
beat a frantic pace
and it's not even seven am
you're feeling the rush of anguish settlin’
you cannot help showin’ them in
so hurry up then
or you'll fall behind and
they will take control of you
and you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
fickle words crowdin’ your mind

so
sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushin’ in
and carry you over to a new mornin’

try as you might
you try to give it up
seems to be holdin’ on fast
its hand in your hand
a shadow over you
a beggar...

I Give You These Verses So That If My Name by Charles Baudelaire

posted by Lovetreehill

I give you these verses so that if my name,
A vessel favored by a strong north wind,
Fortunately reaches the distant future's shore,
And some night sets the minds of men to dreaming,

Your memory, like fables shrouded in the past,
Will weary the reader like a dulcimer,
And by a mystical, brotherly bond
Remain suspended from my haughty verse;

Accurst being to whom, from the deep abysm
To the highest heaven, nothing responds, save me!
— O you who, like an ephemeral ghost,

Trample lightly and with a serene look
Upon the dull mortals who found you repugnant,
Jet eyed statue, tall angel with a brow of bronze!...

The Mirabeau Bridge by Guillaume Apollinaire

posted by Lovetreehill

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine
Must I recall
Our loves recall how then
After each sorrow joy came back again

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

Hands joined and face to face let’s stay just so
While underneath
The bridge of our arms shall go
Weary of endless looks the river’s flow

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

All love goes by as water to the sea
All love goes by
How slow life seems to me
How violent the hope of love can be

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

The days the weeks pass by beyond...

DYING TO LIVE

posted by juicyjossy9

Dying
To
Live

Tell me this, would you miss it,
trying on another face again to see if it's you
And wondering where you've been
and where you're gonna find yourself
before the night is through

I know the way you go
cos I've been the same for too long
Like I'm fearful that my choices are all wrong
I know the way you go
cos I've lived your life of make believe
Dying to live

Tell me this, is it lonely in the shadow of a masquerade for life you hide behind
What's the deal with your reasons to run away
and let your feelings leave you undefined

I know the way you go
cos I've been the same for too long
Like I'm fearful...

Ground Zero

posted by pinkmayhem6

The years have passed
The moments flown by
Yet I still find myself here
starting to cry

The grass neatly trimmed
and the tombstone shines
Flowers' scents intoxicating
mixed with that of the pines

Dirt and mud disappeared
from your resting place
Finally I may kiss the ground
without having a mess of my face

There are other survivors
traveling this lonely road
Trying to move on
is as painful as letting go

My heart goes out to those
missing someone right now
Sometimes it's too hard living
When we forget how

But we share this common bond
Me and you
We keep catching and releasing
Not taking the same chances we used to

Different are the circumstances
but the results remain the same
Death showed a higher hand
and won the biggest pot in the game

But we must share with each other
We must not sink below the sorrow or the guilt
We must not reach ground zero
Else our lives won't be rebuilt

Afternoon Song by Charles Baudelaire

posted by Lovetreehill

Though your mischievous eyebrows
Give you a singular air,
Not that of an angel,
Sorceress with Siren's eyes,

I adore you, my madcap,
My ineffable passion!
With the pious devotion
Of a priest for his idol.

Your stiff tresses are scented
With the desert and forest,
Your head assumes the poses
Of the enigma and key.

Perfume lingers about your flesh
Like incense about a censer,
You charm like the evening,
Tenebrous, passionate nymph.

Ah! the most potent philtres
Are weaker than your languor,
And you know the caresses
That make the dead live again !

Your haunches are enamored
Of your back and your bosom
And you delight...

The Sun by Charles Baudelaire

posted by Lovetreehill

Along the old street on whose cottages are hung
The slatted shutters which hide secret lecheries,
When the cruel sun strikes with increased blows
The city, the country, the roofs, and the wheat fields,
I go alone to try my fanciful fencing,
Scenting in every corner the chance of a rhyme,
Stumbling over words as over paving stones,
Colliding at times with lines dreamed of long ago.

This foster-father, enemy of chlorosis,
Makes verses bloom in the fields like roses,
He makes cares evaporate toward heaven,
And fills with honey hives and brains alike.
He rejuvenates those who go on crutches
And gives them the...

CARNIVAL OF RUST

posted by juicyjossy9

CARNIVAL
OF
RUST

do you breathe the name
of your saviour in your hour of need
and taste the blame
if the flavour should remind you of greed
of implication, insinuation and ill will
till' you cannot lie still
in all this turmoil
before red cape and foil
come closing in for a kill

come feed the rain
’cause i'm thirsty for your love
dancing underneath the skies of lust
yeah, feed the rain
’cause without your love my life
ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

it's all a game, avoiding failure
when true colors will bleed
all in the name of misbehaviour
and the things we don't need
i lust for after no disaster can touch
touch us anymore
and more than ever
i hope to never fall, where enough
is not the same it was before

don't walk away, don't walk away
when the world is burning
don't walk away, don't walk away
when my heart is yearning
