One of my favorite poets A Poetic Romance By: John Keats A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:  Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon, Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon For simple sheep; and such are daffodils With the green world they live in; and clear rills That for themselves a cooling covert make 'Gainst the hot season; the mid forest brake, Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: And such too is the grandeur of the dooms We have imagined for the mighty dead; All lovely tales that w...

In the middle of the night Awoken at the usual time big hand on the twelve small one on the five Life can change in a second faster than a rainbow appears over the horizon Dawn of hope Liquid sunshine kissing away cloudy skies water like faith streams will flow All this weight I'll let it go Water like hope It will overflow Fill me to the brim fill me til I'm whole Water like love spread through out the entire world Our lives a tiny drop in a sea that engulfs us immersed into an ocean of time With every second a new wave unfolds Drifting by what seems like life trying to stay afloat I'm still trying to survive endure with this, cope with little air in my lungs Trying to keep my eyes on the goal Life can change in a second faster than a rainbow appears over the horizon Dawn of hope Liquid sunshine kissing away cloudy skies water like faith streams will flow All this weight I'll let it go Water like hope It will overflow Fill...

there's an  underlying sadness that keeps creeping up like a penny in a tub of water, I'm sinking water's running, spilling over, Trying to breathe, but I'm sinking Smiling but i'm feeling broken far too shattered to be repaired so many pieces scattered everywhere scattered all over the floor like a penny in a tub of water I'm sinking Trying to breathe but I'm sinking My state is fragile Susceptible and breakable there's nothing to which I'm immune my prayers rise like the morning mist on my foggy day but I'm sinking and quickly growing tired And though I know the answers they dont seem to suffice the questions anchor me down answerless "why's" cover tear stains on red, bloodshot eyes Endure, I will... endure I will, just gotta get past tonight turn off the water and pull my head out gasping for air my time is running short At least that's how it feels frequent pain keeps the faucet running...

The bells call They summon me to come Their rings echo in the steeple, Above the city noise Sounds of beckoning calls, "come one, come all Wearied and tired, all your burdens, give them to me, lay them at the foot of my cross" The bells chime to a familiar melody My heart dances as I swing the doors open to the Sanctuary De ja vue hits me hard As I tried recalling the last time I'd sat with you for a while Leaving the world to stay outside Once, twice, three times they ring The bells call out the faithful, Come to the Banquet, come to the Feast Mercy has a face It's song is Amazing Grace The bells call The bells, they say. "Sacrifice is beautiful It is on you whom I wait"

In my mind I see this place When my moments seem like hours Hours feel like days When my heart feels suffocated Smothered by the unnecessary Sing my heart sing the opera to your life written on your walls so lovingly Collected tears on trees, have turned to flowers white Flowers cascading, like those that fell from your eyes Delicately watering, new seeds... as you lye anxiously awaiting prayers to take flight Petals of hope gracefully descend from heaven's heights, sweeping over your sorrow Petals of hope from your Mother's hands In my mind I see this place When my moments seem like hours Hours feel like days When my heart feels suffocated Smothered by the unnecessary Sing my heart sing the opera to your life, Written on your walls so lovingly Symphonies of daffodils parade through the cloud of grey Willow trees decorate Painting the background scenery Dispersing clouds of self doubt looming over me In my mind I see this place When my moments seem like hours Hours feel like da...

Stillness surrounds the sound of my thoughts reverberate My destiny is beckoning and like a child in a play A note in an unchained melody I'm lost on an empty stage Just another child in a broadway play A tear stain that never fades Imperfection graces my role like a child in a broadway play lost on an empty stage I'm a girl trying to learn how to sing A soul awaiting it's unchained melody Hoping someday it might be sung back to me the poet she stands and courageously reads evoking emotions that had been hidden away hibernating in the deepest caves of your very being As the spirit entwines itself around our broken hearts so have the words she speaks a beautiful vine of prose flowing off of her tongue A tear stain that never fades Imperfection graces my role like a child in a broadway play lost on an empty stage I'm a girl trying to learn how to sing A soul awaiting it's unchained melody Hoping someday it might be sung back to me My words are few but they are enflame...

The steel drum marches my heart stops for it knows this all too familiar sound the colors of home fly boldly in the wind And so the story is told The beat is steady soldiers uniformed proudly little boys say play war with their childhood toys Brothers, husbands, sons like little puppets moving to the hypnotizing sound the steel drum marches my heart stops for it knows this all too familiar sound the colors of home fly boldly in the wind And so the story is told The story of a grandfather telling a tale all too well known share this tale of nightmares, things we'll never know Medals reflect the light in his eyes shining, adorning his uniform An epic drama performed like a Shakesperean play accompanies the tune on this dreary day the beat of the drum, whistling flute One story ends, another continues the steel drum marches my heart stops for it knows this all too familiar sound the colors of home fly boldly in the wind And so the story is told

Strings on a harp we are notes scattered Colors splattered Spectacular pieces of art Exquisitly beautiful a light pluck of our Our enchanting, harmonious stories strings on a harp coated in gold On exhibit perhaps But wont you join me in this dance? In expectation I can no longer stand this obscurity, uncertainity must pass Like a worm and butterfly transformed I will emerge at last And nameless, unknown I shall remain Living will continue loving in my little ways Noticing tiny miracles along the way Hoping my life might sing Sing with the poems written in the very core of me Let love be my ink On exhibit perhaps But wont you join me in this dance? In expectation I can no longer stand this obscurity, uncertainity must pass Like a worm and butterfly transformed I will emerge at last A whisper is all it takes a short, simple prayer rising above bitterness, the unsettling obscurity the perplexing haze Just one whisper is all it takes On exhibit perhaps But wont you join me in this dance? ...

Red she stands planted in place Lovely in her appearance radiant in strength Scarlet perfume permeates Cuts through the tension of the evening air crepusular rays beam across the skies as the world prepares herself for eventide red trickles from the chalice Sacrifice looms overhead in the dead of night you hear the prayers red exudes your forehead and so begins this Passion the triumph of love and life over death Red flooded the courtyard painted the floors splattering walls dripping like paint off a brush skin jabbed by my thorns Red she stands planted in place Lovely in her appearance radiant in strength crimson are the words convicting innocence to death my petals blanket the path the boulevard to fate or so thought the world following him to the final test The battlefront, where the cross is raised Bloodshot eyes from tears shed the rose wilts from the turn of events that the darkened days, nightmares became reality all too quick Red she stands planted in place Lovely in her appea...

It's music like you can't believe the colors in a voice My heart is beating and silently singing I'm overtaken, I have no choice And soon I will try to speak out with my little voice Speak for all those who will never be heard the tiny hymns of unborn angels Lives cut short, Tragic lullabies with no words We have been silent much too long we've let our songs die Our voices have become hoarse To a deafened world who says it's all right Indifference paints the hallways Cruel acceptance stains the skies For never in the silence of heaven is a single voice unheard Never is a tear lost a prayer left unanswered Our voices will once again be heard triumphantly they will arise Undismayed, undeterred It's music like you can't believe the colors in a voice My heart is beating and silently singing I'm overtaken, I have no choice And soon I will try to speak out with my little voice Speak for all those who will never be heard the tiny hymns of unborn angels Lives cu...

Lonliness you call my name once again you come and go with such easiness Like a change of the tides without a warning you invade drowning out all tranquility flooding all the progress made It's been a long year but not long enough how can you be surrounded by people yet feel so far from everyone feel so loved yet deserted it's where the sand meets the water where paper hits the pen thoughts unexplained Like a song without a name Perplexed and distracted despite my focusing how to express what is in my heart may take me 365 days Lonliness you call my name once again engulfing my thoughts Solitude embracing me from within Choking my beating heart to a dead stop Like a leaf hanging off a dry branch dangling on for dear life hoping for a ray of sunshine Lonliness you call my name once again engulfing my thoughts Solitude embracing me from within

Where is it my heart may find rest? A break from the disappointments of this tiresome world For so long I've waited for someone, honest and true, but what's honesty and truth when perfection is what's in? hearts tossed away like a disposable plate Oh but would it be? Could it be That fate's irony cold touch has driven away My spring day Will he ever come? I dont know Does he exist ? I pray so My clock must be off because it says it's 2am and I'm sitting here awake Thinking about the same old thing all over again Could it be That fate's irony cold touch has driven away My spring day? Yes, I'll admit it That I am afraid Scared of being hurt again I don't want to be anyone's disposable plate Could it be That fate's irony cold touch has driven away My spring day? Can you even see me inbetween all these masked, made up faces?

A teardrop descends what it holds within is a mystery to all of us glistening secrets unmoved hope dreams, faith, love reflect off one tiny tear transcending all Tears filled with melody Sweet, like a hummingbird's song heard in the afternoon breeze Soft as a violins whisper Gentle as a familiar touch How much is a tear worth the questions that encompass a heart Priceless tears collected by angels taken to the heavens in golden jars loving sacrifices, Priceless tears, precious as the stars Tears filled with melody Sweet, like a hummingbird's song heard in the afternoon breeze Soft as a violins whisper Gentle as a familiar touch Your smile makes the tears dissipate and even for just a moment nothing matters as much Soft as a violins whisper Gentle as a familiar touch

Open ur eyes my weary child The new dawn breaks over orange and red hues Stand up and fight, Oh little one Looking at the world thru a microscope has left u wondering The meaning of life Enslaved to the past, A prisoner to former thoughts The worlds watching u But not for long We are all too busy making everyone aware of our point of view Getting a hung over world to awaken It's the give and take that makes us sober Because u know we just want everything our way We are like children running away from day Children running against time Our roads are long and winding My love, do not be distanced by the trials we all face and though it may seem as if I'm galaxies away I am forever within you, roses wither, but new ones shall bloom Love is a flower that comes back no matter what the weather season Look for the spring, flowing like water from me to you The worlds watching u But not for long We are all too busy convincing everyone that we are okay, we know our way Getting a hung over ...

Writers block, distant thoughts fill my head Alluring hopes Keep me coming back anticipating something that may never happen You're a bird singing in the winter time You're an aria of sound blowing in the wind the refrain to my song a simple tune I've known all along You are beautifully flawed perfection before my eyes a foreign language I understand, Speak to my heart You are a misunderstood work of art You're the refrain to my song Beautifully flawed protection in my eyes ... but what is it you see When you look at me?

I hear the shot go off in the dark I feel the blow but am surprisingly calm All this wandering has lead me to a place a place I didn't think I'd find Where there's happiness in suffering, joy in dying Nobody said it was gonna be easy you're walking into a battle that seems like it's been won Carrying your weight and theirs on your frail back, in scorching sun Tripping over temptation Falling where we've fallen All this wandering has lead me to a place a place I didn't think I'd find Where there's happiness in suffering, joy in dying The fire burns fire burns Incinerates, Refines us even though it hurts We are the martyrs to this dying breed Ignited by selfishness, injustice, greed Ongoing blindness, flames ignite a love unknown, fire burns through pure white snow All this wandering has lead me to a place a place I didn't think I'd find Where there's happiness in suffering, joy in dying There's peace in troubled waters that break redem...

You see darkness I see stars Say I'm right back where I started before No, that door doesn't exist anymore You see a worm I see a butterfly You see today I see freedom in the horizon You see darkness I see stars shining their brilliant light Things you don't understand Don't let them push you away Let them draw you in Open your heart and let it dream again You may not think it exists but there's a bridge to the other side Let go of the fears and past look up towards the rainbow in the sky You see darkness I see stars shining their brilliant light You see paper blank with nothing to read Don't be fooled I see lyrics awaiting their beautiful melody

drops of rain against my skin seeping in through each pore cleansing me from the guilt and dirt I've been collecting washing me from the ugliness eating away at me from within Like a clear sky after nights of torrential rain it's the taste of forgiveness amidst betrayal the smell of sweet roses disguised by a trail of crimson red It's trusting though you cannot see change It's crying the very last tear releasing all your desperation, fear like taking that first breath of fresh air Like being serenaded by the midnight breeze on a cold winter's night Like a clear sky after nights of torrential rain it's the taste of forgiveness amidst betrayal the smell of sweet roses disguised by a trail of crimson red

Frustration, hands are tied Tears, clouded eyes cries, made in the dead of night sing, your melancholic melody tonight scars gape open your a pierced soul bleeding, it never stops cry your last tear go on and let it out God knows the toll twenty- four years have had on you so many answers, you've lived without cracking bones you're fragile to the core tremble from within Enervated, lying on the floor oh the bitter taste of this sweet song is killing me, Rise up oh hope from this dust of a melody Notes dead hang off wrinkled paper unraveled words crumbled, crinkled Unheard, never sung melancholic melody

Snow falls it covers the trees snow falls Covering everything At least that's how it seems Inspired but still confused and now it's all the same it's been a long day for you Yes, rest now, go rest now, it's been a long day for you The world will keep spinning everyone is busy living but months pass by and you're still here dying Don't you know it won't always be this cold?

You'll know where to go just listen to yourself I've heard it said Maybe it's all in my head yeah, here I go again You can only live for this moment as if you only have this coming second will you stand here forever between two railroads no trains?

So many nights I've sat here thinking thinking and praying Feeling not quite sane Am I the only one who doesn't understand?
