Here's a challenge try and figure which ones are my sister's and which ones are mine. Maybe I should give hints along the way....I don't know. Most of our poems are sad and with sorrow (only because it is easier to describe and create an image) But my sister likes to make every sentence have a rhyme. I barely try to do that. Sometimes to do that, but I prefer to use words for description.
Let us get things moving!
Good Night
Night creeps with no warning I seem to be caught in the same cycle
Again and again I sleep into the same routine
No way out and only one way in
How did I get here and now I can’t go back there
Home sweet home is now a distant dream
As I now live in this nightmare.
I dare someone to save me with himself not getting caught
Caught in this hell-hole
This whole thing is no lie as I die with no one here
My last cry will blast the walls of my skull
But not one will hear this heart beat
This beat of death will not beat life
My wife says stay with me
But she seems to fade away
My way of life is now getting dark
No hope is here and I sleep into this again
Can I gain life?
Can I fake my way back
My mind draws a blank and I can’t think
I sleep and I won’t wake.
Good night
Good-bye light.
Arms of Winter.
December made you happy with the thought of gifts
Gifts that would be tucked under the tree.
The lights would shine in a set pattern.
Out of the window the wind calls out to you.
An invitation to a snow wonder land.
As you step outside Winter’s arms embraces you.
Chills travel through your body as Winter’s arms tighten.
It’s sharp and crisp.
The forest is covered in a blanket of snow resting upon a bed of snow.
It is soft to touch.
Nothing can ever be as good as this.
Sad to say Winter starts to become harsh.
Soft snow is forgotten.
Replace with ice.
The blanket of snow is now a sheet of thickness.
Your hands are num and black.
Can’t move your own two feet without feeling regret.
Winter shows you its beauty only for a moment.
It quickly changes into a cursed season.
Longing for spring.
Where lilies bloom with clover fields.
Where Spring surrounds you with a soft breeze
Not now as Winter cuts to your core and breaks it.
December was nice at first.
Not now.
The mood has changed.
And so has you.
Winter leaves you hard and cold.
Awaken
I scream out from this pit I have fallen into.
I yell from the Abyss.
Will no one come to my aid?
I cry out loud but my echo just seems to be
The only response I hear.
My only motivator is fear.
What have I done with all my dreams?
The sun comes over the crakes of this prison
Its light beams through my only source
Of hope that keeps me alive.
Just knowing that the skies are still blue.
That birds still fly south. I hear the rustle
Of their feathers.
I scream out loud again.
But my throat has gone dry it brings pain.
Must keep fighting but I can’t wake up.
The blow on my head is what made me
Lie down in the bed filled with nurses.
I hear voices. They have given up on me.
Even my love has turned away.
But I dare not give in!
I with the little strength I have awake!
My motivator is no longer fear!
I strive to awake with purpose!
And so I am free. I can see the
Skies… and there’re blue.
Rainbow
The rainbow bends with color
And each color is different
But they merge to make the same thing
How shameful it is to just look
And not be grateful for such beauty
Be thankful for this promise
That floats in the sky
It lies down in an arch
But it’s funny to know
That only after a storm
This beauty is formed
During the storm we only see dark clouds
But take heart and look far ahead
Look beyond your fear
And when you near the end
A rainbow will appear.
Doom
It looms above
It’s not pretty
Like a flower bloom
The noise is loud
Like a boom
Doom it says
And you have to pay
Every owe you have
You thought you gave it all
But it’s taking you back
Doom it says
Life ends in a great shock
A tombstone is your stumbling block
You die alone
Doom it said
You’re now dead
Trapped underground
The sound of your family’s cry
Doom it will say
One by one your family
Pays your debt
One by one they will hear too
Doom it will say
Pointless
All of them were lined up and ready.
All of them waiting for their leader to rise.
Waiting, hoping that maybe fate will leave them be.
This war was to be their last.
As the leader tried to give words of triumph
They knew it was all hopeless.
What’s the point? Fighting over something
That was never yours.
Fighting to win a losing battle.
Their beacon of hope, gone.
It broke into more pieces than sand.
No matter? What’s the point?
To die for a cause that has no meaning?
As they ran across the field praying
That God almighty might spare their lives.
Though they strived they came short.
They are soldiers with tormented souls.
Living a life with nothing, but foul.
With the first striking noise of their blades
That’s when they knew.
And on that night none came back.
The leader’s head dangles on the edge of a spear.
Their fears of fate were met.
No excuse. No hope. What’s the point?
Day or Night
So bright in the sky
The light hurts your eyes
But without it you can’t see
And when it sets
It let’s you see without a strain
Without pain you can see stars
But it gets darker and darker
And soon you long for the brightness
You trip in the dark
You hear barks but where are they
You fear for what you can’t see
But then a beam of light
And it seems too bright
You turn your eyes and now you can see
You are still in the same place
Day or night you still walk the same pace
Day or night you still face problems
Day is bright
Night is dark
But both are so beautiful
Powerless
Its night time and it’s late.
You should really get some rest.
But you can’t the pain is too strong.
Everyday you try your best.
You strive to belong.
And I can’t sleep knowing that you’re sad.
You turn away your head behind shadows.
Try to ignore your feelings.
Like there not even real. But you’re
Not made out of steel.
Last night I saw tear stains on your cheeks
As they slowly roll down but they
Never hit the ground.
And I feel so powerless to
Hear you cry because there’s nothing
I can do to help you get by.
I try to give words of comfort
But they always come out dry.
Your pain is deep and it hurts me
To see tear stains on your cheeks as they slowly
Roll down but they never hit the ground.
You always wipe them clean.
I feel so powerless to see you cry.
Almost everyday.
My thoughts get all twisted.
And there’s nothing I can say.
I feel so powerless…just powerless.
This is the World
Welcome to existence
Welcome to the world
Behold the great mysteries of the untold.
You’re so naive to believe almost
Anything that comes to mind
Because you’re so blind.
This is reality not fantasy! What don’t you see?
This is the world it’s harsh I know, but still its home!
A faint whisper calls from behind, your past
It’s coming back trying to get you to
Believe again in all the stories about
Legends and kings from long ago.
All lies!
You want something solid and real
Not plastic and fake.
There is no room for games.
This is the world it’s harsh I know, but still its home!
Your imagination plays no part in this life!
There is no time to daydream.
This is the world! Where you fight and claw
Your way to everything! Where people
Work in set patterns day by day.
And the tall tales of your childhood should
Be replace with logic and facts.
Like sheets of documents.
This is the world!
But still it is home….
Can you really love me…?
Can I make a stand?
With no helping hand
Am I really on my own
Am I really forgotten and alone
All night I moan
Over all I have lost
I thought is was worth the cost
But it was proven to me
That all I have done and seen
Are just a passing dream
I thought my plan was perfect
But it was a scheme against me
I neglect the pain inside
I run and I try to hide
Your arms spread across wide
You try to show me
That you’re by my side
But every time you are denied
And I do see your love and your grace
But my past says I’m a disgrace
Can I really be loved with this fear?
And yet you say you are here!
With all that I have done
With all that I have said
Can you really love me…?
Dream again
All shattered. Feeling a little worthless.
Hope once in abundance has all scattered.
Emotions flooding through their skulls.
Can’t see the difference between happiness and joy.
Is this the end for us? Should we dig our graves alone?
Born in a world that’s torn.
Certain people find real joy.
They keep it shut deep inside their soul.
It’s the best kept secret.
Life is fleeting and we’re stuck moping.
Reality strikes hard and slower each time.
Take courage to dream again!
We know deep down we need to believe.
Drag your weary, sorry bones.
Casting all fear take courage to dream again!
Gazing over the comments of outsiders.
Tears growing in our sockets.
Do you really want to kick the bucket?
Take courage to dream again!
Our time here is short.
People out there are lost.
You were one of them before.
Their dreams are wasting faster then us.
Take courage to dream again!
That’s what they need to hear….
April Fool’s
The stars are in the morning sky
Birds walk and fish fly
And the happy ducks shy away
What’s up with today?
Nothing is going the right way
Look the sun is green
My room is actually clean
My favorite dish taste like soybean
What’s up with today?
Nothing is going the right way
Maybe I said something wrong
Maybe I’ve been out in the sun too long
An ant is all of sudden strong
This as gone too far
My soda bottle is now a jar
People smoke straws like cigars
My dad is driving a cat like a car
I CAN’T GO ON
Why is this upon me?
What’s up with today?
Nothing is going the right way.
I run home hoping maybe it’s still the same
I rush inside praying this is the end of the game
My family screams “Happy April Fool’s Day!”
Oh how I’m filled with shame
Now I know what’s up with today
Now I know why nothing is going the right way
Happy April Fool’s Day!
Right Now.
Right now, I don’t wanna close my eyes.
Because then you might leave me.
Right now, I just want to feel your heart
Beat against my chest.
Forget that I was ever upset.
Take a moment and stay with me.
You make the howling fears fade away.
Right now, I want you to hold me tighter.
Then maybe my fright will leave.
Right now, I don’t wanna let you go.
Keep me company.
My mind stands still when you’re near.
Right now, the time ticks 12 o’clock.
I don’t wanna leave.
Right now, I dare not shut my eyes.
Because when I do I might just be alone.
Reality seeks desperately for me.
But right now, you’re the only
Thing that’s real to me.
Hope is made
Time will also fade
Life will not stay the same
Love is just a game
But hope will be made
Dreams are crushed away
Laughter is forever gone
Understanding will be entirely done
But hope will be found my way
Though life seems black and dim
Give me a chance
My body is weak and limp
Give me more than just a glance
Hope will be made
Hope is still here
Hope is everywhere
So I take heart
And I will not part
Dreams will come back
Laughter will no longer be lacked
Love is in your future
Never give in
My Old Friend
Hello, Darkness my old friend.
Remember how I hid with you when
My pains seemed like they would never end?
When my growing fears never cease?
I cringe tight with you because I was alone
You brought me release.
With you, I felt nothing, a sense of peace.
Life couldn’t touch us. Its problems couldn’t find us.
Together, we gave each other comfort.
With you, I didn’t have to put any effort.
Because you were my secret fort.
Like a tower of refuge high above.
Darkness, my old friend, you kept love from hurting me.
Discarded my emotions to the holes of my heart
But we broke apart.
I came out, can’t you tell? You were no friend.
You were a cell.
Try to Understand
Hiding behind a smile
I am staring into fate with doubt
Cringing in a corner
Fearing that twill come time shadows
Overlooking thine strong hand thither shall lead
Dust tarry betwixt hither and yonder
Wherefore pains still haunt my slumber
Nary will I rest! Nary!
Whence comest thou? I beseech!
Yore, the world of peace overmany moons
Anon foul destiny drags me below
Shalt I die if I flee from it?
Old goot thou art! Slay me!
I lost my will to care anymore.
Henceforth ye scorns my dreams
Wherefore?
I <3 GOD!! ^_^
