In My Land of Nod

In my Land of Nod, there are trees that capture stars to weave into webs of dreams. Shining diamonds I catch, warm my soul. There are ogres and giants who play monkey-in-the-middle with giant boulders. There are fierce dragons who carry me above rainbows and embrace the flames of sunlight. There is...

Another Poem

Why is it that love finds you when it's least expected? Why is it that you always fall for the last person you expect? I ran so fast, so hard to escape the pain of rejection, thought love needed a break. I found a friend to share my days with, good and bad. Friendship turned into something deeper...

Valentine's Day Poem

You've seen me in my best moments and times we'd rather forget, You've held me when the world fell apart and the light disappeared. Your embrace melts my heart All the things I've waited for are met in you. Sign in to see full entry.

New Poems

long, slow dance, surrender to your warm smile, hold me safe. **** I can't scream, I can't yell, life's such a bitch when you aren't what people expect. I scream and yell against the confusion life throws in my face. I've got a message, my words aren't just flights of fancy. I won't be denied by the... Sign in to see full entry.

Valentine's Day Poem

You Always Eat The Ones You Love by Kim Newman You always eat the one you love, the one you shouldn't munch at all, You always take the sweetest rose, And chew it till the petals fall, You always gulp the kindest heart, For that tasty snack you can't recall, So if I ate your heart last night, That's...

Pieces of Me

Pieces of Me Pieces of me drifting in and out, sparks that long to fly and dance with the Gods. Pieces of me, give myself a fright with a stare that goes into the nightmare jungle of darkness and ugly words. The me that loves with her passion and the me that mourns for what lies drove from her. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Suicide

I want to kill myself, it echoed through my head chased me down and held me hostage with its darkness. I want to kill myself, it seemed the solution to the tears that wouldn't stop coming. Suicide, death, it's all the same to me, just another way to escape the nightmare that traps me without... Sign in to see full entry.

Traveling Gypsy

Verse 1 You think I'm strange. If you read between the lines there's nothing left to say, it's all been done before. You say that my head's stuck in the clouds and I ought to come back down to earth. I shouldn't stay on Venus it just isn't right. I see things in too many colors, crazy shades of red,... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Short Poems

Pictureless, The face fading into antiquity, Grey, faded hat Engulfing the eyes in dark Mystery. Silver hair flowing In shiny waves Of free and wild abandon. The body embracing Golden meadows and one last Summer. **** Shedding, I let the gray, mottled Layers fall away One by one, Past prejudice and... Sign in to see full entry.

Thieves In Dark

Verse 1 All those things you can’t say, They steal our lives like thieves In the dark, Without knowledge Or compassion. You came to me in silence, Took my heart in your hand And gave it back to me In the morning. Now it’s aching with passion, A cold fire I can’t put out. And I feel like a child...
