You promised me the moon,
the ever changing,
inconsistant moon.
Who lights up the night .

You promised me the stars,
a basket of light
twinkling for my pleasure.
A glittering shine in the sky.

But all the stars in the sky,
could not block the billiance of the sun
That I see
As I look toward the horizon.

I woke up
And I couldn't remember

Who I was,
What I'd done,
Or where I'd been.

I'd seen so many faces
And shades

I'd forgetten what it feels like
To be inside.

I used to spend my time wishing I was beautiful,
I realized that I am.
I used to pray for god to save me,
I can save myself.
And I used to beg for food,
But I'm already full.

My, how times have changed.

Are you there, Daddy?

Maybe you've come to save me,
'Cause I know you havn't come to take me away.
Like a begger on his knees,
You beg me to stay.
But there's a problem, Daddy,
I've got to get away.

*I normaly don't write rhyming poetry . . . so please forgive if this isn't up to par.*

The window breathed in the heavy evening air
As the sun set red and angry
Over the house that jack built
And in the twinkling night
The Rock-a-Bye Baby began to cry
In our mother goose, Disney, world

Hot
Like the sun
You rage and burn.

Cold
Like ice
I wait for your fire.

Melt me in your arms
Wash your warmth over me
In a passionate flame.

You look at me
like a fool
kissing the hated
hating the loved
playing her games
in the skies
high above
the clouds.

If told you my name.
I swear,
The eyes of the world
Would surrender
My hold on myself.
Pairing my pain and sorrow
With your joy.
Giving myself
To you.

Pure and white
She sits on her star
high above the world.

Shinning like light
through her eyes
we see her soul.

Darkness does not come
to take away
her sweet shine.

Alone
against the darkness
she rests.

Hope
through out time
alone.

The dark was cold once.

But now there is a comfort to it
I cannot describe.

The night raps me in her arms.

Laying me to rest
Amid a valley of a thousand stars.

As the light wishes to shine,
So do I.

But there is no release
From my frozen palace.

Sleeping amid the stars.

Through the ages of time,
They come.
Born of human nature,
They breed.
Painfully, and truthfully,
I pray.
Let the light through the fire,
I wish.
Human connection and kindness,
I need.

I dreamed last night of the ocean
And the pounding crashing waves.
From the shore I could smell the sea.

Dreaming of the ocean and the air
Of the salt, cold, winds.
I waded into the water.

I dreamed drowning.
Being pulled down into the waves.
Tasting the sallty water on my tongue.

I dreamed of clawing,
Struggling, crushing, panic.
I burst to the surface.

I awoke last night,
alone in my bed.
And suddenly I began to cry.

Lightening strikes across the sea,
Lighting up the sky,
Burning the clouds,
It sets the world on fire.

She brushes her hair out of her eyes
And there's nothing to see,
But the brown leaves falling like rain
outside of her glass house
made of stone.

She stares through invisible walls,
Hoping to see
The world which has chosen to pass her by,
Praying to her god,
To find a way out.

She brushes her hair out of her eyes, again,
Still hoping to see,
Something.
Waiting for her on the other side.

I find confort
in the white-hot heat
of the ragging fire
just out side
of my bedroom wall
I whatch
as I
plundge in
to the fiery depths
headless of the pain
engulfed in the beauty
of the yellow dancing flame

You look into the darkness
With sight so blind
You can't see the stars
Burning and pulsing
A beautiful brilliance
Right before your eyes.

I took the curve too fast
and lost control of the wheel

The oustside sucked me in
and the inside locked me out.

Now I can't find my way home.

What am I?
Am I the bones
That hold the rigid form?
Am I the flesh
Supple, soft, sensual, and alive?
Or am I the lost soul
Dying day by day lost inside.

I looked in the mirror yesterday
To see a stranger on the other side

Looking back
I ran my hand along

The bridge of my nose
The supple curve of my lips
The outline of my chin

As if touching them
For the first time

I stared in the mirror
Afraid of who I was

Of course
I know
the sun
will rise
in the Eastern sky
and end the reign
of terrible
everlasting night
but day break
seems so far
while lying here
alone in my room
waiting
for the burning
rays of light
to chase
the boogy man
away.

I stand alone in the crowd screaming,
till my throat cracks and my insides bleeds.

But no one turns to see me.

Because Im not really screaming at all,
and no one's there.

Red, Orange, Yellow
White hot fire
Breaks the clouds
Into a blush hue
Shinning on the world
With your smile

I know your world
and I've seen
the lights
in your eyes
as I walk
into the place
You call home
tucked into
a small
dark corner
of living
alone
let me
in to seee
you

Upon the waves of time
You ride
Black Blue Green night
In my mind
Crashing with the waves
I see you wash ashore
Alone on the sand
White Pale Glistening moon
Shines
Together at a distance
You wait
Eyes linger on my soul
Finding the way
Inside

Inconsistancies and words
like faces through out all time
crash through my mind
and brake my constancy
like glass snow.

The cold droning rumble
Comes from your lips
As the gleaming silver razor
Held to your wrist
Slips Slips Slips
And the warm-blue blood
Starts to flow
Down as it
Drips Drips Drips

Silence

I dreamed a dream last night,
And in the dark,
A dog howled at the moon.
Lighting flickered across the sky,
And the rain fell down
Washing away my gloom.
In my bed,
I lay,
sleeping awake,
Waiting for the sun.

The sun set yesterday,
And with it came the night.
In the distance
I heard a baby begin to cry.
In the dark
I realize,
We were all born with the sole purpose to die.
Alone with myself
I sleep
Asleep to dream.
To be awakened with the sun
But the sun won't rise
Becasue the fog is too thick
And the darkness won't part
So forever I lie.

Starving,
Screaming,
Bleeding in the streets;
We weep.

We cry to you;
Our loss,
Our hope,
Our plead.

Help,
Hurt,
Stop the voices;
You look away.

Away from the pain,
That cries in the night,
That cries your name;
You can't see.

He'll taunt, and he'll praise, and he'll jear.
Like a see-saw
He'll bring you up and down.

He'll eat away at your soul.
Like a thousand worms
He'll tear you apart.

He'll jerk you around
Like a roller coaster.
Oh, man, but what a ride.
