War

Sadness, Sickness, Poverty,

All for no reason.

They didn't have to they just did,

No reason,

Leaving there families to protect our families,

Just...

For no reason, except they wanted to.

Darkness

Darkness keeps coming within my reach,

Darkness in the shadows,

Sunshine is gone,

Sunshine loses sight,

Gone like the wind it dies.

I'm coming and going.

Just seeking the light.

Our Love

Our love seems to never go forward,

We try but it's always back to the fighting.

Our love seems hopeless but endless.

Our love is like a video stuck in rewind never fast ford.

Our love just seems

fatal...

but

endless.

Friendship

A friend is someone who reaches
out for your hand and touches your heart.
A true friend sees your tears but fixes our heart.
Everytime you cross my mind. I think
how lucky I've been, to have you as my
special Friend.
...Thanks for being my Friend!
Friends Are For Life!

Honey

apple goo
hanging in a tree
sweetly coating the mist of all the leaves

pools of golden
stickiness
like the sun's shining reflection
setting in the west

tough and stubborn
pulling my dipped apple
out
plop,
munch,
chew!

Tough but yet tasty
sweet with a side of goo
seeping out my lips
glistening like the sun
tummy yummy
gram cracker butter
apple goo too
coating,
misting all the leaves
falling around
you.

Awakening

Beautiful Morning
shining on you.
Sunrise comes in
waiting for you.
Dream fog shrouds
swallowing whole
Night time Drifting
slowly like dough

Ink.

Fuzzy top
unlimited
doodles oodled.
up, down
cross and to the side
around the corner
ink. spilling, rolling, rolling, rolling
curling round, round
answering, asking
unveiling, concealing
Mysteriously untold.
Writing.
always different
but ever so bold!

A Place Of My Own

Not to big. Not to small.

Not A plan house. Not A cluttered house.

A small house.

With my rules,my small windows.

My poems and books.

Just my toothbrush.

Nobody to wake me up.

No ones dishes to wash.

Only a small quiet house, a space for myself to go,

away from the world clean, as a new schools chalk board.

Cause I Got "ATTITUDE"

I use to walk around all alone and scared,

I worried about what people thought of me,

I wished I looked better then the prettiest girl at school,

My hair and clothes were always a mess,

I was afraid of what people would say to me,

I tried to hide my shame,

But...Not anymore cause I got attitude.

Now, I strut my stuff,

When you see me today I look fresh,

My face will tell you "I'm not afraid",

I won't need words to show you how good I look,

When I walk into the room people just stare,

You will wish you were me these days,

What you see now is what you get,

I'm done hiding cause I got ATTITUDE.

Beyond the Horizon

Boldly Blue, Indigo
purple passion
pulling itself up into the sky
showing the world its place.
Rising in the East.
Setting in the West.
sharing the beauty
a row of flowerbeds
blending into one.
Kissing the sun
grabbing eyes
sparkles in the distance
the wisking wind blows by
swallowing the colors eye by eye

Rosa Parks

Dont Mess with Me. I Got Attiude

I use to walk around looking scared.

I worried about people getting hurt.

I wished I could leave this place.

My hair and clothes were not so good.

I was afraid of the whites.

I tried to hide from many people.

But not anymore' cause i got attiude.

Now, I stand tall.

When you see me today I'm not afraid.

My face will tell you everything about me.

I wont need word's to show you I can tell you myself.

When I walk into the room, people look, and stare.

You will wish you were me.

What you see now is me.

I'm done hidding cause i got attitude.

Scared

I was walking down this long scary bridge,

then all of a sudden i saw something really strange from were i was standing.

It scared me but i really didn't pay it no attention. Then the water started

swirling real fast, wind blowing, and voices from i don't know were. Now

I'm really scared, i don't know what to do!!!!

Listen.

Crash!
vibrations start to clash of the shatter
of old china falling.
Halls vacant, dust coated.
Mirriors all around
sounds of a party
whelps, wailing
glance, I see nobody
unsafe unsatisfied
brain boggled
eyes shut tight
tipping left to right
forceing my hips to turn.
Stomach rumbles then slighty churns.

My vision blurring
Cold sweating palms
Listen.
Can you hear?
the creaks, the squeaks, the tweaks
dragging myself across the floorboards
one
by
one
sluggishly I power up my fright
jumpy as a widow
ready to
Pounce.

Empty Bowl, Filled Soul

Tomato, Potato
wet gooey slop
goopy, droopy

It drips while my lips sip
slurp, slurp, slurp
gulp

My soup is potato
yours is not
My soup is chicken
yours is hot
My soup smells soft
yours cures a cough

Sweet Smelling
Warming Waterfall
Comforts the Soul
Crackers by the side
toasty crunches moistened to the taste
Crunchy warm waterfall
descending down the throat
covering my tummy with a creamy coat.

The One

He sits

He waits

He watches

He cares but

You care nothing

You wonder

You wait

But yet you are too late

He made his move

Now you are in your grave

6 feet under they all say

Until next year on

All- hallows -eve when you are

The one that is sitting, watching,waiting, caring

But until then

When you walk past the grave yard

You will here

My heart pouning....

For revenge

Life

Sometimes life is rough,

sometimes life is tough,

but you got to stay strong.

If you keep the faith

i know you can stay in this place

he will make a way so think before you make a mistake.

Camp Buck Horn

I sat in the corner of my cabin,

My rocking chair squeaking back and forth.

I stared out the window at the mountain tops,

watching the water on the lake freeze,

and the people laugh and fellowship with one another.

I heard bugs buzzing, leaves crunching as people pass

and the tree tops blowing in the wind.

I slowly got up.

I opened the door and headed towards the smell of bacon, eggs, biscuits, and grits.

Lake water and peach body wash wafted from the hot muggy showers.

If Only

Jeffery runs with the mighty stallions.

He soars sky high like the bold eagles.

Jeffery's face is a strong, sturdy style. Those eyes

fall

gracefully complimenting his silky lips.

I gasp for breath at thoughts of actually meeting him.

Unfortunatley, I never will. He exsits only in my mind, blissfully

making me stronger and helping me acheive the impossible. He guides me out of ruts in the journey of life.

Thicker and Thicker

Deeper and Deeper,

I always cut through the underbrush!

Crazy Eye

Bulging eye twitching wildly
circling round your corner
mucus crowding the crevices
tear duct covered in dried jelly
colored greenish orange
drips, drip, drip

Then it spots you
pointing you out of the overgrown crowds
you hesitate .....
staring two eyes on one....
you then,
twitch yourself
turning trip-
-ping.


Rapidly running racehorse speeds
covering cross country distances
pawing for a chance at breath
suddenly you stop
eerie breezes, fog setting
sighing in relief
HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEIIIIIIEEEEE!!!! Hheeeeeehhhh!
Cackles the crazy cross-eyed beast from behind......

Oreo

I would feel as if she was the only one I could talk to no-one if I do they don't talk back. I don't want to go to school. You know that mama's going to make me go back in the morrning. I guess, I will have to pretend to be someone I' not. I don't fit in, well Oreo I'll tell you the rest in the morrning before I go to school, I love you see you in the morrning. Well, there is two girls named Summer and Kate that think that they are all that, but they aren't. Well, I will tell mama in the morrning. The two girls called me ugly and they got a rumor going around saying that I wear the same paints everyday that is a lie. Meow, Meow. Well, I have to go to sleep because here comes mama. Night, Love you see you in the morrning. Meow, Meow.

Oreo

Oreo is her name...
She's in God's kingdam now,
oh do I miss and love her.
Her fur so soft and smelling so good,
Oreo is her name!

The beach

I was wondering alone the beach listening

to the powerful waves and smelling the salted

ocean.My feet sink in the white sand. While

water splashes on them.

the claim

Sometime in the night
without soo much as a sigh
came a tapp of footsteps at my door
clip,clip,clip
of the shoes
with nothing more but a sigh
i didn't dare go to the door for fear of fright
and maybe worse deaths cold bite
the night was dreary and bleak
rap,rap,rap,
came knkocking at the....
back door
darling,darling please wake up
tis a cold and dreary night
let me in to sit by the hearth
rap,rap,rap
came at the window
i didn't go to the door now for sure
i was frightend
of deaths cold bite
darling,darling, please let me in
i've come back for just like i promised i would
don't you rember
your promise
of when i come back from the war
you will be my bride
now darling
i will come in
for u promised a soldier
your heart
and i intend to claim whats rightfully mine
by the dark and dreary moonlight
of this cold winter night
i shall make you my wife
upstairs she runs to hide
the door opens without a sigh
clip,clip,clip
of the worn leater boots
crrrrreak of the 5th stair
darling you can't hide forever
you will come out at dawn
with our childs first cries of hunger
so i'll wait for you
in the moonlight

September 21

September 21

When love began for me in those hollow halls;

as the lockers slamed; I smiled,

All day I thought about only him, streching my thoughts

farther, and farther.

Cramming history notes into my bookbag as the bell rings,

rushing out just to see him.

Where is he? In the loud hallways lockers slam shut and people

push you out of the way just to get by.

Then, there he is.

Bath Time

Turn on hot,

add a pinch of cold

Flood appears

Squeeze'n Plastic

gurlup, gurlup, gurlup

fizzy, fizz

sensation of bubbly

liquid sunshine

muscle aches

stomach quakes

blown away

my regards to the bubbles

Scrub, Rub

Scrub, Rub

cooshie- coo milkshake

warm rain to rinse,

like hot coco in the middle of December

Reentering reality as I grab my towel
