Hells Gate
Walking through a haze
of never ending lies,
the truth comes out
and you see who I despise.
The ones who tell me
that I am the one that they love
and beauty glows within me
that I come from above.
But when in truth
I am the one that they hate
ugliness is all that they see
I watch them from Hell's Gate.
People come and people go
love comes from hate
hate comes from love
I watch it all from Hell's Gate.

Bruce Noble
You are my hero.
My inner strength comes from you.
The battles that you've fought
could never be won.
You tried and tried
but it wouldn't let you survive.
I have learned many things from you.
How to hold on, and never give up.
But to take you from us
at such a young age
causes all of us hurt, and anger.
We cry for you and pray
but relieved to know you are better now.
We love you so much and always will.
Forever you will be in our hearts,
and eternally in our minds.
(I wrote this poem in memory of my dear friend Bruce Noble who was taken from us last year due to Luekemia.)

A Lacking
My lack of knowledge
is easy to see.
My lack of experiance
is obvious.
No one knows
except those that are close to me.
How can they wish to be like me
when I want to be like them?
But only fear stops me.
Peole say it's Hell
people say it's fun.
Which is true
knows no one.

Hollow Wishes
As we sit here
one and alone,
wishing to change the past.
Nothing to look forward to.
Salty tears run down our faces
no one cares
no one says "I love you".
Hollow wishes and
hollow dream.
We are the future
we are the kids
but when we look forward
we see black.
We see dark
nothing is held in our future
except our hollow wishes
and hollow dreams.

Thoughts for Nicholas
As I lay awake tonight
thoughts of you rumage my head.
A single tear streams down my cheek
as a single kiss fades into the night.
Feelings I've never known
pour form the deepest caverns of my heart
stinging endlessly at my soul.
When will I see you again?
How I long for your majestic touch
of your strong hands wandering my body.
I can no longer bear this pain
that repeatedly wounds my emotions.
Those magic words ring in my ears
as I remember them escaping your lips.
As I lay awake tonight
'tears stream down my porcelin face.
Your heart beats out those words
I love you.

*Untitled*
If I could kiss away your problems
I would.
If I could tell you it'll get better
I would.
If I could hold you all night long
cuddled so snuggly in your arms
as if there wasn't a care in the world
honey, you know I would.
I can only say what if to you
for I love another.
My love for you is strong
but I must control it
for I love another.
If I could forget him easily I would
but I can't, not yet.
Believe me my dear
I will always be here for you
through all of the if's
and's or buts.
