Jade’s poetry corner

Most of the Work done here started in 1995 and went on to now. I was not much of a writer before that, mainly a drawer. I got into writing after I recieved a journal for Christmas of '94. It is the first volume of many. I have a couple of poems I have when I was very young, as far back as 2nd grade, and mainly for writing assignments which my parents treasure dearly. I only show close friends the "bat" poem, which a couple still get a good laugh about. So here are a couple I want to share with you. :-) Enjoy

[Hands of the World] [Evil Empire] [Thoughts from Insanty] [Kissing the Kisser] [Just Another Day] [Maybe]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first poem I actually was proud of. It came out of no where, I had one of those days where I could write anything and it was good. I have always loved this one for it's simple truth. It's also one of my first in 1994. I was about 14 I think. 

  "Hands of the World" 

Hold in hand the futureless time

Those who suffer and commit the crime

Sold the streets for profitable shares

The world is dying and no one cares

Gotta fly away from this humanity

Escape to survive this atrocity

Eye to eye with the birds in the sky

Gotta have wings if you want to fly

People have died in the honor of truth

Many were found in a polling booth

All their promises lead to mistakes

Money and greed is all it takes

A try upon the good inside

Only leads to what they hide

Living up to your demands

Stopping all those wanting hands

Find a place for every need

Find the food for all to feed

Nothing touched to fix the land

And left behind is a wounded hand.

I think I got the title from "Rage against the Machine" but the poem was just another that came from my heart. 
"Evil Empire"


Walking by myself

following a frightened past

careful not to stir behind

I will find my way at last

creaping in the forest stood

my anger and my tears

side by side they stare me down

feeding me my fears

I run to stay free

not questioning my meanings

scared in a daydream

never to befriend the beings

I live in a double life

with expectations and depression

no one knows my desire

they throw away my regression

a crueling that shoved me aside

to count my fingers a bit

sitting on a toadstool

and following what does not fit.

This was inspired by my friend Van's bad living habits in his mom's garage.
And the many mornings of a blackberry breakfast. 
"Thoughts from Insanty"

I’m numb from the thoughts

in my head

I want to sleep
 
but in whose bed

I walk the jaded streets

with only one shoe

the trees and houses

are a light shade of blue

the candlewax

the filthy floor

we wait in hunger

door the knock at the door

dropping tears

on my clothes

they stain like blood

they reach my toes

this pain inside
 
is soothed by you

the way you touch me
 
the things you do

madness settles
 
in my head

it numbs my thoughts

it starts again.

Can we say....scandal? Just read it. :) 
"Kissing the Kisser"

How did I get here

into this mess

how did I put my

love to the test

all it was

was one little kiss

it was so perfect

true happy bliss

I made a promise

to keep my word

to stop all the pleasures

I had endured

and now my heart

and feelings are blue

and everyday

I’m thinking of you

kissing the kisser

I do adore

I love it greatly

and want it more

but I have kept

my word on this

not to steal
 
just one kiss

why do I miss

the mess I was in

I wonder if your love

is really a sin

but I can’t help

the smile you bring

the laugther and joy

and all those things

I  can’t control

this feeling inside

it will not go

I will not hide

I miss him so

I want him here

just ont kiss

so he is near.

I have no idea what influenced this poem, but I think mainly I was just trying a new style. I forgot the name, but I'm sure it's something I learned in school that day. 
"Just Another Day"

Just another day

just another way

to kill myself

wish this day would speed

all I really need

is my health

study ‘bout now and then

also nitro glycerine

stumbled on my own fear

gotta have a plan

to learn about the land

just to see what’s out there

gotta place to play

gotta place to stay

it’s freezing in my own mind

no one demands me

no one repremands me

how can they be so kind

gotta get away

run far away

they are out to get me

just another day

just another way

for you and me to be.

This was actually inspired by Oasis's song. I was hearing it in the background while doing
some homework and I liked the beat. It kinda suck in my mind and whaa-lla!. 
"Maybe"

Maybe I should really fly 


maybe I don't wanna die


maybe it’s impossible 


maybe I just want it all


see the sites of many towns


hold the world upside down


all the life on puppet strings
 

maybe I should burn those things


maybe I should leave this place


go out into outer space


maybe I don’t have the time


maybe I don’t have to rhyme


calling up the friends I know 


no one tells me where to go


all I ask is just one thing


why does love have to sting?
