    She was beaten and bruised
    Cut up and abused.
    He didn't care what he did to her
    As he pounded- her vision was a blur.
    Through every single blow
    She believed she had nowhere to go,
    So, she just dealt
    And no longer felt
    Her life wasn't worth living.
    Even though she kept on giving
    Her face to his fist... finally one day
    She thought she found a way,
    And ended it all by grabbing a knife
    Ending her own life.

    From extended fingers,
    To pouting lips,
    Inhaled breath
    consumes another hit.

    The fog filled elements
    of my youthful desire
    another inhaled breath
    throws my thoughts
    ..ever higher...

    my lava lamp
    a mini world
    swirling redhair incense
    intertwining with the essence
    of my soul
    groovy

    ebbs and tides
    within
    move in and retreat
    to the beat of the Stones

    what a rush
    as it licks at my toes
    on the edge of reality
    the undertow
    pulls me inside
    where there is no time

    and I am free to fly
    to the cherry clouds
    that call to me
    the smell of lovesmoke
    a stairway to the top

    I breathe in the smoke
    and it breathes me
    redhair love
    and peace

    on that cloud
    without a doubt
    I know I will find
    God

    Please comment if you read my poems. No one really comments and I would greatly appreciate to hear what you think of my poems. So if you look at this, leave me a comment!! Thank you.

    Also, my next post may be my last. I feel as if I am putting up these poems for nothing and I might try to get feedback from a different site...

    Murder, murder everywhere
    movies, television or in a book
    It seems no one has even a care
    violence is where I look
    down the street there is a duel
    kids sick in the mind
    guns go off at the local school
    what's go'in on, they're killing their own kind
    Have we all gone insane
    America, blood is in the rain
    Murder, murder everywhere
    We live our life in vain
    our society has a tear
    but we don't know it, we are no longer sane

    The War wind blows again
    A bloody storm is brewing
    Many are scared and wary
    of fires that may be fuming
    Another war to end all wars
    When will mankind learn?
    That war only begets more wars
    But another bridge we burn
    Is it wrong for one to dream
    Of a world that lives in peace
    Because somehow it does not seem
    That warmongers will ever cease
    But I will keep dreaming of a world
    That lives in peace and is unafraid

    I believe that less people would want war
    If more people just got laid

    You can not see me
    You can not hear me
    You can not feel me
    Yet I am here and you fear me
    You think of me and panic
    I lurk in the shadows
    You wonder when I will strike
    And you know you never will know
    Yet one day we shall meet
    I haunt you in your nightmares
    Will I take you quickly?
    Or slow, tormenting and unfair?
    Every day you agonize over me
    You can take your vitamins
    You can exercise in your gym
    But I am Death
    And I always win

    Trapped in this life

    bleeding steadily

    stained, bruised and broken

    my tears still pour heavily



    My tears are like a river

    I'm drowning

    deeper and deeper I go

    it's all inside

    but to no one I will show

    I'm dying but yet I still hide



    My craving is strong

    I'm growing tired and weak

    ignoring the truth

    I can't see it



    The life I have made

    am I sane or insane

    the darkness gets darker

    and the fight just gets harder

    my eyes are sown shut

    my wound deeply cut



    Maybe I will, maybe I won't

    maybe I'll stay, maybe I'll go

    I hope that there's something

    that just might set me free

    from this hell

    something will save me

    I'm quoting the whole thing. It's utterly fantastic! Your imagery here is great, with a surreal nature that I love. It's the kind of thing I want my painter friends to conjure up on their canvas. Such a beautiful scene, such wonderful allusions. Sigh, this one made my day... thanks!

    ps: title that sucker!

    If I was a fairy tale,
    I don't know what I'd do.
    One thing is for certain,
    I wouldn't be caught dead in glass shoes.


    When I went to visit my Grandma
    And know that she lives far,
    I wouldn't cut through the woods at all,
    Instead I'd drive my car.


    If I was invited to a great big party,
    With lots of food - a feast!
    My date would be a fine you man,
    And not a hairy beast.


    When entering another's house
    And I haven't been invited to eat
    I would not even try their porridge
    Or break their favorite seat.


    If I lived with seven little men,
    I think I'd carry mace
    And if that witch offered me fruit again
    I'd slap her across the face.


    If I had too many children
    And I didn't know what to do,
    They'd live with their dad on summer break
    And every other weekend too.


    If I showed up in the rain
    Looking for a comfy bed
    And you put twenty mattresses on a pea,
    I'd tell you to go check your head!


    If I ran into a little pig,
    Who was building a house of sticks,
    I'd warn him there's a wolf in town,
    And to check into Motel 6.


    The princes would be great and all,
    Especially if they rode a white mare.
    But they have got another thing coming
    If they try to climb my hair!


    If my brother and I were lost in the woods
    And didn't know our way home,
    Rather than leave a trail of crumbs,
    I'd call 911 on my cell phone.


    I think animals are really cute
    Even ones that are small.
    But I'm not relying on them for help,
    When getting ready for a ball.


    I think royalty is fascinating
    From the kings down to the squire,
    But if I got mixed up with them,
    It'd be front page of the Enquirer!


    If Jack went tumbling down the hill,
    Rather than tumbling after,
    I'd still be at the top of the hill
    Letting out peals of laughter!


    Georgie Porgie may kiss other girls,
    But not me - Hey, I'm not lying!
    'Cuz if his lips came near me once
    It wouldn't be me who was crying!


    As a mermaid I'd give up some things,
    Especially if the boy was real sweet.
    But hey, you've got to be kidding me!
    My voice... for a pair of feet?


    If a witch told me I'd die at 16,
    By spinning a piece of yarn,
    You'd better believe you'd find this little girl
    Buing all her clothes at Dress Barn!


    If I don't follow my mother's orders,
    I know she can be really mean,
    So I would never trade our only cow
    For some so-called "magic" beans!


    If I was locked in a room of straw,
    and must spin it to gold everynight,
    Rather than guess that little man's name
    I'd say, "You take Visa, right?".


    So maybe it wasn't meant to be.
    I guess for all it's worth,
    Fairy tales aren't ready for me,
    I'm better off here on Earth

    The father smiled to see his child
    Come running to his side.
    "Please tell me, Daddy, what is meant
    By that word 'sex'", she cried.


    He looked aghast at this sweet girl -
    She was but eight years old;
    Too young, he thought and innocent
    To break this childhood mould.


    She should be playing with her dolls
    Or other toys she had
    Instead of asking questions such
    As this one of her Dad.


    With openness and honesty
    An inborn family trait,
    This Dad explained the facts of life
    Quite candidly and straight.


    His discourse finished, thankfully,
    He kissed her on the cheek;
    No word she'd uttered all the while,
    But now began to speak:


    "I didn't think my question was
    A matter so complex,
    For Mum just said to tell you lunch
    Is ready in two secs."

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

    She was not beautiful.
    Nothing about her was extraordinary.
    Nothing about her made her stand out in a crowd.
    She grew up in a family of six.
    The eldest, she learnt responsibility at an early age.
    As she grew stronger, and brighter,
    She instilled a sort of light cheer to whomever she met.

    She was not beautiful.
    But she made others feel beautiful about themselves.
    She meets a rebel boy who thinks he's all man.
    Befriending him, she teaches him how to read,
    A little boost the man needed to go to college.

    They became friends fast and she fell,
    Fast in love with her rugged, handsome student.
    The "man" then finds himself in a dilemma
    He soon found himself in love with a girl.
    A girl so beautiful, she turned even the grouchiest men's head.
    Her hair was a halo of light around her,
    Her eyes the bluest blue of ocean.

    Like an angel he tells his tutor
    Like a beautiful angel.
    The girl swallows a lump at her throat

    She was not beautiful
    She did not possess the heart of the one she loved
    But she did not care.
    As long as he was happy,
    She would be or so she tried to.

    She helped him write the most beautiful letter to his angel
    All the time envisioning that it was she herself
    Receiving those very letters.
    And so the girl helped him choose the right words,
    Buy the right gifts for his angel
    His angel brought him much joy
    And much pain to the girl who cried behind her smiles.
    But that never stopped her from giving more
    Than she will ever receive.

    Then one day, all hell broke loose
    The angel he loved left him for another man,
    A richer, more successful man.
    The boy was stunned
    He was so hurt he did not speak for days
    The girl went to him
    He cried on her shoulder and she cried with him
    He hurt and so did she.

    Time went by.
    And so the wounds heal.
    The boy realizes something about his friend/tutor
    He never realized before.
    How her laughter sounded heavenly
    Or how her smiles brightened up the darkest days.
    Or simply how beautiful, yes beautiful she looked to him!

    Beautiful.
    This plain, simple girl was beautiful to him.
    And he began to fall.
    Fall so in love with this beautiful girl.

    On one day, he picked up all his courage to see her.
    He walked to her house, nervous ad fidgeting.
    Running his thoughts over and over in his head.
    He was going to tell her how beautiful she was to him.
    He was going to tell her how wonderfully n love he was with her.
    He knocked.
    No one was home.

    The next day he found out,
    The beautiful girl he fell in love with had brain aneurysm
    That put her into a coma.
    The doctors were grim and the family decided to let her go.

    One final time he got to see her.
    He held her hand.
    He stroked her hair,
    And he cried for this beautiful girl.
    He cried for he will never see her smile
    Or hear her speak his name

    He cried.
    But it was too late.

    The beautiful girl was buried and the heavens broke out
    In a beautiful spring shower, a cry for their loss.
    She was the most beautiful girl in the world.

    Look around you.
    Aren't there a lot of plain faces?
    Take a good look
    A real good look or you might miss out
    On that beautiful person.

    Forever.

    Wondering
    I have lost myself
    in wandering
    I have discovered
    more than I realized
    through losing myself
    i have found myself
    in dreaming
    i have hated myself
    to uncover how
    i feared myself
    in darkness
    i found light
    and in light
    i have found
    heaven
    after trodding through hell
    barefoot
    i have found i can't rest
    til I get some sleep
    and i can't talk
    i seem to scream
    I have found peace
    is hard to find
    and I can't seem
    to reach the clouds
    in the sky
    I have found
    too often
    a wish that I could
    die
    and now I know
    it just takes time
    I have found
    I know nothing
    and nothing knows me
    I have discovered
    a vision unwinding
    and I can't decide
    I have found
    like everyone else
    I'm just here for
    the ride

    How do I love thee?
    Let me count the ways.
    From bong, bowl, joint, or blunt
    I love your thick and smoky haze.
    You make me laugh no matter why
    My eyes are red, my mouth is dry.
    I enjoy you in my house and car
    You make me high, you take me far.
    To me you for sure no stranger
    Any nearby food's in danger.
    For when I smell your sweet sweet scent
    I don't mind that all my money's spent.
    When what's left in my bg is total shake
    I feel my wallet start to quake.
    I know I'll buy you over and over
    Stoned as hell, I'm in the clover.
    I love the feeling of being trashed
    And dread the words "This bowl is cashed."
    Getting high makes me want to sing and carol
    Although your seeds may make me sterile.
    But I'll still smoke you, wrong or not
    I live each day, I smoke my pot.

    Written while stoned...today is a sweet day. Peace and love everyone.

    Still beautiful, surviving in the cold,
    though smaller now, by half, than August's bloom,
    she keeps, defiantly, her stubborn hold,
    a summer bride awaiting winter's groom.

    Her veil, arrayed in lavender florets
    of involuted petals, frames a face
    resolved to rush headlong, with no regrets,
    into a stringent season's cold embrace.

    How could she love a bluebeard's bitter breath,
    or find contentment in that barren house
    of empty corridors that smell of death?
    Why would she share her bed with such a spouse?

    Now, holding on too long, her season done,
    she gives herself to him: Oblivion.
