Got Poetry?

[starcrossed]

Thank you Boston

Blue your funny... at least you have a name for your disorder. You know that is one of the first steps to finding a cure...LOL

Open Your Eyes:

open your eyes...
who do you see?

do you see the
pain?
beauty?
anger?

or do you see

someone who is
looking for a way out

do you see
their story?
their past?
their future?
their present?

do you see how far
they have come....

open your eyes...
take a look around...

take a good look...
look into their eyes like an open book.

see their scars that have healed,
see the ones who have changed their life.
see what really matters.

so go ahead...
and open your eyes

see the people around you
as they are...
and who they will be....

make your choice...

be blind...

or open your eyes and see all the imperfects
because they are BEAUTIFUL.

some things come
that make the worst things
BEAUTIFUL....

i have opened my eyes...
you should do the same.

dont judge someone without knowing
where they came from
and where they are going.

cause you never know
who is gonna be there
when you need someone the most...

sometimes it could be someone completely unexpected..
or it could be exactly who you expected...
but just didnt want to believe could be there....

Very beautiful and heartfelt poem, cgs2007. Thank you for sharing it. No need to be nervous here....we are all very supportive of each other's work.

And now, for a 'Halloween-ish' poem.

Bewitched

The air….dark and smoky,
Thick with mystery and intrigue;
Through the haze I see faces,
Hear voices;
Those of the spirits who never wished to leave.

And why would they?
From the moment I looked in your eyes
I fell to my knees
Only wanting to please
You – in a second you had me hypnotized.
The deepest color of blue,
Rich, sparkling sapphire;
Stepping closer, I discovered
Inside them, your fire.

Hair flowing
Skin glowing
You are a creature of magic.
There are those who tell me – and I dismiss—
That you have stolen my life;
My downfall so shockingly tragic.
But how can I believe my identity has died
When I’ve never felt so euphoric, so completely alive.

Maniacal laughter echoes throughout the room;
Weaving our bodies and hearts together
As we dance, near the window, by the light of the moon.
Don’t ask me to leave at the end of the night;
Begging and pleading
My heart wounded and bleeding
I am cast out once again, always losing the fight.

But I will return
Once again.
Your power
My weakness
Your victory cinched.
I cannot exist without you;
You have me, forever, bewitched.

LOL... I remember that feeling when I first started sharing my works here too. However, Blue is right... you will find nothing except positive support here on this thread. It is designed to be a warm and safe place to express your works. Feel free to write and post new things here whenever you want to share them. No worries or any reason to be nervous at all, alright?

thanks steph! i feel like im gonna be adding more stuff soon. i know i told my friend rachel to bring some of her stuff over here. she is amazing!

[cgs2007]

But not anymore:

You made me hate myself,
But not anymore.

You made me push people away,
But not anymore.

You made me cry,
But not anymore.

You never loved me like you should have,
It was supposed to be unconditional.

But that’s ok,
Cause I can love myself now.

Im letting you go,
And what you did.

Im moving on with my life,
While you sit and pretend it never happened.

You were my father,
But not anymore.

[starcrossed]

Your welcome cgs Cool... the more the merrier, I always say. And, there is plenty of room for more writers on this thread. Tell your friend to join in whenever she would like to. Post away ladies... and just have fun.

[starcrossed]

Wow... nice piece cgs. Very powerful last line...

[cgs2007]

thanks. that was probably the hardest one i ever wrote. my father could never admitt to anything that he did during and after my parents got divorced when i was 7. he just likes to pretend he didnt do anything and that he never hurt me or my brothers. and even though i never got an apology from him or even him to just admitt everything and why, i had to let him go for me to move on with my life and be who i wanted to be and to not be scared to let people get close to me. i used to think everyone would end up hurting me in the end so i would only get so close to them, then i would start to push them away if i felt they were trying to get to close. but not anymore. i dont let what happened control my future.

In a sea of a million people:

The beat of the drum,
Runs through out our bodys.

Vibrating our clothes,
And our souls.

In a sea of a million people,
We are one.

All conncected,
By the words of the song.

Feeling the same beat,
Hearing the same voice.

We are surrounded by love,
Love for the music,
And love for each other.

In a sea of a million people,
We are not strangers.

We are a family,
Brought together by one

One dream,
One common goal.
One love.

In a sea of a million people,
Is where you will find me.

We All See the Same...

You see the Skyline
Your scared
I see a Freedome
For the Lonely

You watch the TV
I see the unhappiness grow

You see the advertisements
I see bull shit

You see a Face
I see a Person

You see a Guitar
I see a life changing

You see a Microphone
I see a release

You see Black
I dont see anything

You see a Tattoo
You see an ugly reminder
I see a Story

You see a hand
I see a way off the ground
I see a Freind

You see a scar
An awful disfiguration
I see a past
I see suffering
That has healed on the outside

You see a Ticket
I see an experiance

You see a box
I see the outside of it

You see the Daily Routine
I see you getting older

You see a Rockstar
I see a Good Freind

You see the homeless
You see The college kid
You see the skateborder
You see the bussinessman
You see the Preacher....

I see people
Pure and Simple

Because we all have
The same oportunities
If we see clear enough

You see the outside of people
When you should listen a little better.

Because there will never be another moment just like this one.

Dont ever judge until..
You meet the inside

Its great to be reminded
I was reminded when I met Jimmy Gnecco
Aug. 4. 2008 at 12am
He will scare the living hell out of you
Onstage
And if you look at him straught in the face.

But im not afraid any more
And welcomed him with open arms
He loves big hugs (I dont think he was expecting one)
And dont ask him about the Manson tour....
He will Crack up
While he is still holding onto you

The outside is just the begining
With people
With Places
With A stage

Theres so much more to what you have
You just have to apprecaite it
A little more

Jimmy Gnecco

That is a lot for one person to have to deal with in their life and at such a early age. I am sorry that you had to go through that. I understand from my own personal experiences, just how hard life can be sometimes...

Still, you sound like a very courageous person... I am happy that you were able to put the past behind you and move forward in your life. And, you are very much in control of your life. Now live it to the fullest!

Hey another new voice around here!!! Thank you for sharing your work Willev7

[cgs2007]

thats what i have been doing! just taking life in my own hands and making the best of it and doing what makes me happy! i have come to learn that god puts you through things in your life to show you how strong you are and to make you the person that you will grow up to be. everything happens for a reason. and everything has a purpose.

[cgs2007]
