| .:~*WeN'S POETRY CORNER*~:. |
| **i'm saving as i go, so some parts may be cut off. forgive me!!** |
| well, most of you know that i love writing poetry.. and my sketchbooks are filled mainly with poems, rather than sketches.. so i have decided to create a page in which i could put my poems, or put any poems that you guys submit to me through email, icq, or msn, or whatever! any poems are welcome, and your name will be included with your poem! but if you wish for it to be 'author unknown', that's fine! but make sure that the poems are truly by you, because i want all pages on my site to be about me and my friends... it's a place for your poems, dedications, etc.. okie? if you want a pic, too, send it. well, instead of making a LONG essay-intro like i always do, i'm jes gonna cut to the chase and i'm gonna start off with my poems! any poem by WeN is a WeN production, copyright 2001-2002.. and anything from my 'artistic' friends are all copyrighted to them and no further publications of them may be made without their permission and for the certain poems written for me, my permission may be required as well... don't want me to sue, do you? ^.< **NOTE: not all these poems are of personal experience.. some are just poems that popped into my head during my silent time <aka silent reading> but i just wanna say, that the poem "thankie" is in every way true.. and it's dedicated to everyone mentioned in it** |
| .:~*LESSONS OF LIFE*~:. Without warning, life goes on After dusk, must come dawn You can't correct every single mistake What life throws at you, you must take Try to prosper and live life well Only if you let it, will it be hell On every heart, no need to leave tracks Don't deny the truth, just accept the facts Love and be loved, but don't break hearts Pain and hurt, on both parts Treat each day like it's the last Cuz life's passing by real fast Fame and fortune, no need to achieve When you die, these things you must leave Keep on smiling and enjoy your life Enjoy the laffter, and mind the strife You can strive, but don't expect to get far Just love yourself for who you are A single promise you must not break You never know what will be at stake Don't dwell on what others say In your heart, they shall not stay With every life, there's a pen to hold And with that pen, a story is told But you can't erase every single wrong With or without you, life just rolls along Don't forget the past, but look to tomorrow Dwelling on mistakes will only bring sorrow Living life with your head held high Another opportunity will never pass you by. ----------WeN |
| .:~*FRIENDS*~:. Friends can never steer you wrong With no friends, it's hard to stay strong Making friends isn't hard to do But of these friends, how many are true? Who's by your side when you're feeling down And with a smile will replace that frown? When you feel like you've lost it all, Who will keep you from feeling small? If on your friends you can't rely, How do you stand with your head held high? When there are problems, with you they'll face And when you need it, they'll give you space They'll provide you with endless love They're like your angels sent from above There may be fights or an occasional tiff But between you all, will never grow a rift These simple questions you should ask Not just hope that it'll last. Who is always on your side? Who will miss you if you died? Who will help you on your way? Who will listen to all you have to say? Who will lend their shoulder when you cry? Who is always standing by? Who will shed their tears with you? Who will be there when you want them to? If all of these, your friends do not fulfill, Don't give up, someday they will. It takes time for friendships to grow And soon, a true friend, you shall know. ----------WeN |
| .:~*HOME SWEET HOME*~:. You may be weak, but the thought is strong In only one place do you belong Your home, no one can ever take away And that one place it will always stay Where you were born, you shall die When the time comes, there you shall lie Your life can't be complete, if you're not home It will never leave, no matter how far you roam The world may turn it's back on you But home, to your heart, will always stay true. -----------WeN |
| I'm halfway to nowhere And halfway to somewhere I'm three steps from daylight And three steps from night. ----------Jordan Minamimaye |
| I took away the pics on this page cuz it took too long to upload and crap.. so enjoy the poems!! |
| .:~*BRIGHTNESS*~:. Turning up my head, i see the light It's glaring down.. too bright.. too bright "Reach towards it" is all that i can hear But what's to happen is all that i fear Where will this light take me to? What will this new 'life' put me through? Where is the dark? bring it back All the shadows that i lack Pain.. pain.. too much pain Where are the clouds? where is the rain? Tell the brightening gleam to go away Why won't the fading darkness stay? I see a hand reaching to save me The single touch shall set me free I can't reach.. it's too far.. so far... Please don't leave me, wherever you are Bring me back to where i should be Bring me back to reality I don't wanna die, i don't wanna leave There's too much i still need to achieve I don't want the light, i just wanna live This is my life, i refuse to give I'm almost there, i can feel your touch The light is growing, it's becoming too much I can feel the warmth of your hand I feel the strength i need to stand I open my eyes and i can see the tears I'm awake now, putting away your fears I'm back now... i'm finally home In the light again, i shall never roam. ----------WeN |
| .:~*DEDICATION*~:. Darkness dims among their hearts Every minute gone a new memory starts Digging their way, not ever left behind In our souls, and in our minds Cherished moments will always live on Always in our lives, they're never truly gone Turn to friends and family to help you out In times of need and in times of doubt Over time, things may change Never will a friend's reach be out of range. ----------WeN |

| .:~*A STEP INTO THE WORLD*~:. It's never too early; it's always too late There's not enough love; there's too much hate Life isn't just happiness, laughter, and joy It's no longer a game; it's not a toy Dry those tears and don't be sad Don't get hung up over what you never had Let go of the past, but never forget Love and memories from those you've met Tomorrow dawns; it's just another day The troubles of yesterday seem so far away Find love in your heart; don't ever let it go Only then do you take a step forward; only then do you grow. ----------WeN |
| .:~*A POEM DEDICATED TO MY BIG BRO*~:. Young and stubborn, you can't stand the pain Overcome by feelings and anger you can't sustain Unless these stop, you can't figure out how to deal Rock walls surround your heart so others can't help you heal Light seeps through the cracks in the wall In comes life, maybe there's a cure afterall The wall falls down and lets it all in The healing and renewing can finally begin Less than perfect, the heart is mended with luv Everyone you let in makes you stronger than the shove Sensitive and weak, the patches may break It might seem more than you can take Stronger may be the other side There will be times you wish to hide Even if it puts you in a horrible mood Resist that feeling telling you to be rude Look around and see what's there Unjudging people who will help mend and really do care Various faces of people whom you know Sometimes these faces don't always show You should recognize who one of them should be Always luving you, it's your sis, me! ----------WeN |
| .:~*DEDICATED TO MY BIG SIS*~:. Shooting stars may bring you hope Understanding the world may help you cope Zeniths may seem far out of reach And your side of the story you just can't preach Never forget your lit'l sis is always here for you Not only to listen, but to help you through Ever always on your side The we have shall forever abide Always know you can trust in me Over the years, no matter who I'll be. ----------WeN |
| .:~*THANKIE*~:. To those special eight who mean the world to me Without your luv and support, I dunno where I'd be You're all special to me, in your own special way And I'd like to take the time outta my life to say Thankie Paul for being my slave and one of my best friends I'll miss you a tonne when this journey we take finally ends Thankie Brian for always being there to save the day Hiding me from those mean dogs and frisbees that run away Thankie Jordan for being the best big bro Everything you've taught me has helped me grow Thankie Bryan for always listening to me complain And for wishing me well, whenever I'm in pain Thankie Jimmy for being the great godbro you are Always pulling me back, whenever I roam too far Thankie Suzanne for being such a luving sis When we part and separate, your smiles I'll miss Thankie Ling for always greeting me with a smile Meeting this great best bud was worth all the while Thankie Annie for being such an excellent friend You stuck through it all with me, until summer's end You eight people, I can't thank you enough You've always been here to help, whenever my life gets tough I know there is so much I didn't thank you all for When I was drowning in the ocean, you guys pulled me to shore I know a poem isn't enough to thank you for all you've done And a thousand poems to each, would be more accurate than just this one But despite the small quantity that I have written above I want you all to know my words are true and filled with luv. ----------WeN |
| .:~*UNTITLED*~:. Sometimes things don't always go our way And the words we hear aren't the words we want to hear them say I wanna turn left, but I'm forced to make a right I wanna be left in the darkness, but there must be light When I ask for white, I always get black When I wanna move forward, I'm always held back Nothing I want seems to get through All those lies they said turned out to be true What do I do when everything goes wrong? What do I do when nothing lasts very long? There's so much I can do; so much I can say But no matter what, things will never go my way What do I do when nothing will give? After the frustration, what do I do when I don't wanna live? I could do and say a thousand things But in the end they add up to a bunch of nothings Nothing else can make the argument stay Nothing else can keep me from turning away. ----------WeN |
| .:~*BLOSSOM*~:. The darkness settles in, the city's covered in gloom Among all the grey, a single flower will bloom Bringing hope to people near and far Giving a glimpse of happiness to whoever they are A smile will creep upon their once sad face And with that new strength, the power to embrace A brand new day; a fresh start An open mind and a pure heart. ----------WeN |
| .:~*UNTITLED 2*~:. Another day dawns and I'm left in the dark Every single gash; an everlasting mark Through the blackness, I can no longer see I'm letting go, I'm losing myself; I lost me I'm getting so tired, I can't hold on Every dream I reached for--they're all gone No reason to continue, no reason to live I'm throwing in the towel now; I truly give I'm being sucked into the hole; I'm on the wrong track There's nothing left to hold onto, I can't turn back It's all gone now, I gave it all away I wait for the curtains to part and reveal a new day. ----------WeN |
| .:~*LIFE*~:. So hard to get good grades So hard to please my mom So hard to stay on task So hard to do the work So difficult to live it up So difficult to find a way home So difficult to accept the truth So difficult to turn away So painful to see one leave So painful to watch me fail So painful to continue on So painful to look ahead So hard to ask for help So difficult to say good bye So painful to hold those tears So easy to fall in love. ----------WeN |
| .:~*SEASONS*~:. Leaves of life, blades of grass The cold melted away, like the past Everything is fresh; everything is new Among the green, a lonesome flower grew The sun glared down with it's burning rays Turning back time, prolonging the days Trickling down, came beads of sweat The flower stretched, as much as its petals let The green soon became the red and the brown And from the trees, leaves fluttered down The warm sun came peeking through With the gentle breeze, the flower blew The city was cloaked in white And not a single leaf was left in sight Under the snow, where the green grass lies The lonely petals fall, and the flower dies. ----------WeN |

| .:~*A POEM, just FOR ME!!*~:. (titled: "Torn Apart") A portion of your person, Yearns for acceptance. The majority of your mind, Thrives for the challenge. A section of your soul, Calls to your home. A necessary part of yourself, Left behind on top a tower, Waiting to be whole. ----------Douglas G Sjostrom |
| .:~*NOT for ME, BUT WAS SENT TO ME!!*~:. (was sent to me without a title) Open doors we find our way, we look we see we smile. Surely daybreaks cross our path, and stay maybe a while. Let them run, let them chase, let them hide between. Constant doors will open eyes, as life seems like, life seems like a fight. A fight. Maybe I'll just sing a while, and then give you a call. Maybe I'll just say hello, and say maybe that's all. Hurry home as love is true, will help us through the night. 'Till we're coming home again, life seems like, life seems like a fight. A fight. ----------Douglas G Sjostrom |
| .:~*YOU KNOW...*~:. Today, I feel like a mud puddle, an ink stain, a broken radio. being stepped on, unremovably hated, talking, but unheard. So I cry, I drown, I die..... Alone. ----------WeN |
| .:~*THE ROAD NOT TAKEN*~:. Trapped between the middle Torn between two sides Gotta choose between the choices Need to pick a path to go One path is all sunshine and rainbows Covered with the gleam from the sky Exposed to the growing warmth Embracing the world with faith The other path is quite the contrary Dim and mysterious; cloaked in shadows Masking all hopes with a tint of black Darkness prevails and consumes this road So, the path of life and hope and lies? Or the path of darkness, truth, and life? Live in the sun, or accept harsh realities? Live in the dark, or believe there is hope? Impossible to change the journey chosen No way to alter the path now taken But this space here down the middle is for a reason To walk hand in hand with the light and shadows The road not taken. ----------WeN **note: with this poem goes a picture.. but it isn't available atm** |
| .:~*GRAINS OF SAND*~:. Struggling through the humid air Trying with might to stay alive Crawling to what seems lightyears away Grasping onto life passing by The destination seems so far away The trail seems longer than before Every step should be one step closer But the hands of time go in reverse Almost there, yet so far to go So tired, yet I've barely moved an inch How important is this; does it matter? I'm just a turtle out of the water. ----------WeN **note: this poem is dedicated to the one and only, much loved, speedy!!! ^.^** |
| .:~*YESTERDAY*~:. It's funny How I no longer know Who I am Anymore. I lost It all when I turned around And gave it all away. I fell apart And no one was there To pick up The pieces. They faded And left Empty spaces in me. Only to find me Hanging on To yesterday When it wasn't too late When we all still cared About it. When we were still okay When you were still around When we were too young To remember To know To understand. ----------WeN **note: this poem is dedicated to yuli who loved the ending and suggested the title to be what it is** |
| .:~*YOU NEVER KNOW*~:. Don't give up on dreams You never know when they'll come true Don't give up on friends You never know when you save a life Don't give up on continuing to strive You never know when you're almost there Don't give up on trying You never know how far you can reach Don't give up on family You never know when they need you the most Don't give up on yourself You never know what you're capable of Don't give up on life You never know when it'll be over Don't give up.. You never know Those words may come a little late. ----------WeN |
| .:~*SOMETIMES*~:. It's hard to be who I am Sometimes I want to give up So maybe I'll leave The stage. It's difficult to hold on Sometimes I'll get tired So maybe I'll let go Of the monkey bars. It's hard to stay on track Sometimes I think I'll crash So maybe I'll stop The car. It's difficult to put up with being wrong Sometimes I don't want to keep trying So maybe I'll walk out On the test. It's hard to hold it all in Sometimes I can hardly breathe So maybe I'll push away From the deep end. ----------WeN |
| .:~*IT TAKES TWO*~:. Two in a million Partners in crime Together through the troubles A couple of complete weirdoes A duo super-glued together But between just us... I've never felt more alone. ----------WeN |
| .:~*OUR WORLD*~:. Peace on earth and goodwill towards men Children standing together, hand in hand Nothing but good fortune for one and all Divided we fall, and united we stand Everything is wonderful, incredible and great No matter what, friends are aways there Happy, happy, goes by every day No worries about family disappearing anywhere Love and sunshine, rainbows and kisses All that's good, and pretty, and pure Life is grand and there's not a single care Hard work and determination finds the cure We all think this is what life is about But maybe you live in a world of fantasy Because it's time to wake up; time to finally see Here's a sense of life in reality Look around and see the hate Feel the anger and the pain Breathe the air of filth and dirt And cry the tears your eyes can't sustain People kill others simply for pleasure Nations hurt nations with words and war People are raped and robbed and beat In times of need, people just shut their door Smell the poison in the smoke people puff See the hunger that shows in people's faces Feel the violence of every hit a child takes Hear the discrimination of each other's races If you see the world for what it is Instead of what it should be Maybe then, you'll understand What makes it not easy to be me. ----------WeN |
