Subject : Guess what my death bed looks like???
Written : 08/01/95.04:33am

Sitting in my quite dark room,
no one can find me.
There's silence all around
with the shadows closing in.
Moving all over my room.
The sounds of death fills the air,
Loneness fill me up.
Am I truly alone here?  Does anyone hear my cry's of help?
    NO!!
Will you help me?
    NO!!
If you did when I was there my room would be filled
with brightness of love and joy.
Instead the musty damp smell of dirt is all around.
Pressure, Oh the pressure crushing me.
How long will we be one?
As the time goes by I can not tell.
I'm not in heaven, nor in hell.
My room and me are away out of sight but,
still I won't give up the fight.
Now, my body is not one with me.
My soulis in flight.  Its doomed to roam around
insearch but, yet still out of sight.
If I try to get your attention don't push me aside again.
You see you were not there for me in my life.
PLEASE DON'T KEEP ME OUT OF SIGHT

            MY TURN

    As the sunshine fills the house,
    with bright yellow streams of light.

    On this morning birds out the window,
        are singing.

    The kids are at the table,
        eating breakfast.

    My husban sits on the couch,
    he's reading the paper.

    With the smell of the morning dew,
    and fresh flowers blooming in the sun.

    All around me happiness

    I poured my cup of coffee,
    and I cryed to myself.
    
    This is only a dream,
    its not my turn yet.

            ONCE

    You once were mine, and I gave you all my love.
    You once were my life, and you took my heart.

        Now you are nothing to me,
    And now you want everything you had back.

    That was a long time ago, in a dream ONCE...

    I'm all mixed up inside no where to go and hide,
        no one to turn to for advice.

    I feel I've notdone what I'm supposed-to,
        my heart is filled with pain.

        Nothing left to loose and yet
            everything to gain.

    How do i get myself out of this mess?
    I guess I'll leave it to "GOD",
        he'll do the rest.

Take a look, up there in the sky
Can you see thier wings from here
Didn't expect black feathers did you
Didn't expect the angels to caw like that

Your last breath falls from your lips
Like the silence between seconds
Are you waiting for someone to come for you?
The sky is black with them, black with feathers

You used to feed me, with your eyes
Now they peck over them
You used to lay on your bed
Now you lay were they dumped you

How many hours are spent wondering
Hom many hours spent bleeding like this
In the dark you hurt longer than reality
In reality you've only just begun

Cordial smiles flash like daggers here
Hands are rough and stained down here
Curiousty has killed more beautiful things than cats
The page turns and your name is gone

Just one night I want to wake pleasently
Just one night without dreams and memories
Just one night to see you whole again
Just one more night till I'm there

Written : 08/02/95.09:44pm

OK.  Before I write 1) I don't have AIDS 2) I'm not pregnant and 3) it's
just a poem I wrote after I saw "Philadelphia" (sp?) w/Tom Hanks about
AIDS.  It means a lot, although it is in a female's poin of view, because
(cough cough) I am a female.

            "Whatever ... "

Blinded by the light of the early moon
lost in the stars she gazes
The only thing she can ask herself is
"Why so many phazes?"

She lays back down to go to sleep
But can't fall asleep quite yet
She needs to cry, a mournful weap
To those lose in her debt

She sits up, shaking from her nightmare
She looks at herself in a mirror
The nightmare being that he didn't care
She now sees everything clearer

She cries herself to sleep again
Trying to hide the tears
She can't hide, it causes her too much pain
And she can't forever hide her fears

They haunt her like a nightmare
A nightmare from within
She had always been the one who cared
For people committing sin

"Not my fault", she'd always say
To people passing by
"When I get mad, they'll ALL PAY"
When she got home, she cried

The one who had always been there for her
Was there no more, none at all
She felt sick, the kind you can't cure
And was shocked at what she saw

Someone had given it to her
While she slept in his bed
She thought all of this with a GREAT BIG SMILE
"And I will now screw up his head"

A shot of a gun, and it was through
She was lost, and is still lost as time ends
All one unique flaw in her (AIDS)
And this is how bad she needed REAL friends

Sitting down at an empty table
With him no longer there
She sits and comfortabely she smiles
While tending her baby with care

She tends the baby and is a good mother
She puts the baby to sleep, and cries
"Why couldn't I have been a bit pickier?"
That would have ended all the lies

The baby woke up, and started crying
She looked at her pale white skin
She saw herself, and her baby dying
She had her tears, but from within

The story is now his to tell
As she cries, from above
The man had doomed them both to hell
The ones, he didn't love ...

    Cold Summer Day

There it was.
I had found it.
My quest complete, I just stood there.
Looking.
And not looking.
I knew the words, but I read them anyway,
several times.
Such a boring rock.
Such simple words.
But they wrenched at my heart, my gut, my soul.
This was not how I had planned it.
Then again, I was sure this was not how he had planned it either.
I could see someone had been there recently;
my sister, I guessed.
Who else could it have been?
But she would never tell me.
And I would never ask.
I could think of nothing to say to that gray rock
on that gray day
in that gray place.
But I found a way to say everything.
The highs and the lows.
The triumphs and failures.
The pride.
And the shame.
Silently, I left a token of my visit, and walked back to the car.
Silently, we drove away.
Silently, I can't stop screaming.

    Disqueit

The date rings a distant bell,
and I search for a reason
in the dusty memories of my mind.
Then I stumble on to it.
Eight years ago today.
The first time I kissed someone. 
REALLY kissed, anyway.
Such a good friend she was--
and how drunk we were!
The star-filled summer sky above us,
the music surrounding us,
the faces swirling everywhere, along with everything else.
Including us.
And then I left.
The pleasant thoughts are cut short,
interrupted by the memory of reality.
She dived headlong into a drugged-out existence,
had the son of some loser waste case,
and disappeared out of my life.
Six years after I last saw her,
I was probably within a few short miles.
But I didn't pick up the phone
or drive down the road
to see what had happened.
Maybe I just don't want to know.
The past is a dangerous place,
and sometimes it's better left alone.
Maybe I will call her tomorrow.
Maybe.

    The Enchantress

Depressing music plays as I lay here waiting
in the middle of the night
for the endless cycle to continue.
Though they are sung by a stranger,
the words seem to be my own
sung for you--always for you.
Years have passed, and still it's all for you.
Years since I knew your love...and embrace.
The time has changed us both,
for better, for worse,
but still I know I would die for you
or kill for another kiss from your mesmerizing lips.
Why after all this time do you still have this hold on me?
Women come and go in my life
but in the end they always fail.
I can't help but to hold them up to you
and your mystical way.
I guess they never had a chance.

Do I?

Walking down the halls...
  Shimmering white walls...
Glitteing lines trace...
  Stunning electric grace...

Murmurs softly heard...
  of an old wise bird...
Whose knowledge can be found...
  Flying underground...

On roadways on metal...
  moving faster than the devil...
On a path to my home...
  to my palace... to my throne...

In my land vitua-real..
  Where I take moments to steal..
The beauty and grace...
  Of information's knowing face...

It is only the streams I care for..
  which is what the data is there for...
To support my kindom of dreams...
  My electric palace conneected to all things...

Subject : HATE and nothing more
Written : 08/21/95.07:32pm

    HATE IS A STRONG WORD

I hate you
not because you are you but because when you look at me
all you see is a 5'10 Dick and not as human being with
feelings and emotions.
I hate you
because when you have lived your life around girls,
you don't realize that there are real men out there
that are responsible and do think with their minds
and not with their heads.
I have never hated anyone
like I hate you for this. You tick me off when I know,
even in a professional atmosphere, you look at me as
nothing more than a 5'10 Dick and nothing else.

To the mother of a trapped daughter,
How Dare You Judge Me!

Look in the Mirror my friend
and see the uglyness you are becoming.

Written : 07/22/95.05:10am

Don't hold another's pain,
Above that of your own.

Crying for a fool,
Or like a fool,
Then you are a fool.

Don't dwell another's confusion,
When your own is just short of madness.

Trying to understand,
That of a fool,
Then you are lost forever in anothers unknown thoughts.

Don't hope for another's love,
When your own is not for yourself.

Desiring to feel,
From a fool,
Then your heart is broken.

heading out to do the same on the streets when a song came along I thought
I'd share. Hope you enjoy it as much as I.



              I've got the thing you need.
            I am endowed beyond your wildest,
             clearesil spattered fantasies.

             Girls from all over the world,
            Come to write my name on the toilet walls.
                Oh, the Wiskey-A-Gogo,

                   I am BWANA DICK!
                  Me BWANA DICK! No,
                    Me BWANA DICK!

                My dick is a monster
                  Give me a heart.
               BWANA DICK is a legend,
                 Enormous thou art.

                My dick is a Harley,
               You kick it to start.
              When BWANA DICK speaks,
              The heavens will part.

               My dick is a dagger,
              I'll force it to fit.
            My dick is a reamer baby,
             To scream up your slit.

             Semen! Reamin! Creamin!

               You can hear the steam baby,
             You can hear the screamin' semen!
             As the reamer steams up the lake,
             A reamy wienie up onto the snake.

               Talkin' bout anaerobes baby.

She always feels the same,she find someone to share all ,a friend,
she has a very good time,she has trust and the next day
that trustable friend is gone,she thinks something is wrong about her,
always the same,it's not possible to feel that way,
so miserable,so depressed,with no one to understand her.

She keeps calling her old friends,but they are gone,
they turned their shoulders and won't know anything about her.
 "Am I so bad?????" or maybe it's the punish to pay for trust in everybody
now you are on your own again,no friends,no love,no nothing,

    Gifts are things we have recieved for free.
    Dreams are gifts that God has given his people.
    God is a being of peace and love(no hippy jokes)
    Love is a feeling that is easily required.
    Feelings are things that everyone has.
    Everyone can be hurt through speech.
    Speech can be a hard thing to ignore.
    Is it hard for one to compliment another?

 forgetful
 
I am starting to forget
the little details
and one of the days is blending into another
the sight of squirrels at play
the taste of you
the line of your inner thigh
the brush of your shaving line on my cheek
I drift back often in memories
but I can no longer trust them
I have embelished and repaired the memories
Tuesday's dinner is on Wednesday night
Did we make love outdoors or was that a dream?
I am starting to forget the detail
they say that Hell is in the details
What kind of wine was it? Reisling?
Merlot? Marque de Caseras? Eiswein?
Why was I bitter that last day?
When did you save my life?
and why?
 

VB


Within that warm night
I could see a fuzzy light
and though I tried to
resist it with all my might
I could not win the fight
My mind would only soar
to that place empty of
time and space that was a nexus
for a banished king
forbidden to enter the gate
My ceptor has turned dust
as my crown can only be seen
by the wise ones
My cloak is the sun that me back
just as the wind is the friend
that kisses my face
When Onya sleeps
Madessa rises
Two stones only one can be seen
Both persue
Both run away
Madessa please stay
await for your love Onya to wake
To the North we adore
To the South we admire
To the West we wonder
To the East we seek the King of Gilgamesh

From a banished soul exiled from a duality of existence forever
trapped with the Nexus forbidden to feel or taste the fruit
of the material, forever disconnected from "Kalimar!"


Oh how miss
my home so afar
for she awaits
to see me
the I was
before the translation
now they are blind
to the one who
loved them
across the vast
sea and misty stars
within the dark night
that hides the light
that can help me see
my precious home
so far away
called "Kalimar!"

To a friend .. . 

What do you reap?
What is your reward?
For destroying all the relationships in sight?
I know your not satan.
Just a little lost girl,
Trying to find some happiness and light.

Don't you see?
Won't you realize?
Can't you stop this circle of nothing?
You speak your words,
Of which you should follow,
Then you distrust your own wisdom and see what it brings.

What do I feel?
Do I even care anymore?
Could they or I hold you and make it right?
I think it's beyond them or me,
To help you, little lost one.
We don't and will never have the strength, it's your fight.

I wish you luck . . .

Don't make me do it,
Drink from my own whirlpool,
For the emotions that will spill from the goblet,
Will be a demon you will have to duel.

Be careful what you do,
Devouring my heart to soon,
Can justify my decisions into steel,
And seal thy only chance in doom.

Feast on me my friends,
I pray, eat your suppers light,
For the flesh can only feed so many,
Before hatred turns you away in the night.

the night kisses your
flesh passionately and
you moan with voices
other than your own.
stars fall with speed
that the earth has
never seen and light
your silloutte, illumintating
the auroas of lives
come and gone, and still
to come in the waking
light.
you wonder who you
are and where you
came from and who
posses your turbid,
morbid soul and existance.
the sky falls on your
shoulders and you heold
it up like Atlas on roller skates.
you crumble to the soggy
soil and you sink in over your head and grasp at
roots, and gulp in earthworms.
you're 6 feet under and without
a box and the elements tear
away at your soul
and you muster up a scream
that wakes up everyone
but the dead.

Today came like a package from tangier
Soiled, blackened by the ashes of tribal sacrifice
Yesterday dictates today and so forth,
Everyday is a new inferno
Born from yesterdays fiery womb
I can see the trail in my sleep,
The fire whispering and then with a wimper
It pisses itself and dies in it's own deluge
Candles are for reading by
In desperate places, where dirty children cringe
And sell themselves for food.
You burn the candle and read of somewhere far away,
Somewhere between the lines where your body isn't worth a crown
Or a peso, or a franc
Bodies are sold for dollars here, but they never write about that
No, the living aren't candles
Man is not as noble and unique as he would like to think
The smell of ancient perfume and rich powder,
I can't help thinking that the black plague was fed
By some of the ripest pigs
No, the living aren't candles
The living are an uncontrolable blaze who's light paves the way
For future children to sell themselves by
And when the light doth tire
Who will cry in the dark
Not the children, who by candle and sweaty matress
Witness the fire's last light
And breath with relief
Alone in the dark

minds arise in fulls moons light...
on strong wings it does take flight...

with monsterous visage, and more fierce a foe...
yet few can understand their inner woe...

Few there are, and few they will remain...
and only by suns light are they tamed...

and never will they see the day sky's blue...
for during that time they stand as silent statues...

You!
a mirror of you,
reflections of you,
your showing what you feel like inside.
Me!
the power of two,
just me and you,
and in the deeps holdin' you mind.
Sometimes your wrong and sometimes your right,
you don't expect me to put up a fight,
I'm sick and tired of all of your lies,
I'M SICK AND TIRED AND I'M SAYING GOODBYE!
I don't need your poison,
I don't need your soul,
I don't need forgiveness,
I DON'T NEED YOU!

Your!
shadowing me,
what I used to be,
I'm fading against the light from the outside,
I!
I know what you need,
because I can see I'm taking over thoughts in your mind.
Sometimes your wrong and sometimes your right,
your in the dark so I'll turn on the light.
I'm sick and tired of all of your lies,
I'M FUCKING TIRED AND I'M SAYING GOODBYE!
I don't need your poison,
I don't need your soul,
I don't need forgiveness,
I DON'T NEED YOU!

Look in the mirror my friend,
and look at the ugliness you have become.

Thanks to the group, Gravity Kills,
on the soundtrack Mortal Kombat.


greetings comrade
I salute and hail
my fearless leader
may the light
of Onya shine upon you face
before she sleeps
you are my center
I am your periphery
I no longer exist
except within your circle
farewell my beloved

Bullshit Said by a 24 Year Old Nothing
        Or
A Friend Like Me, I Don't Need
        Or
Not a Poem, But I Felt Like Writing It that Way So "F" Off!

Thanks for taking my few strengths and showing they are nothing.
Thanks for taking my weaknesses and exploting them till I'm suicidal.
Thanks "Friends" for "being there".
And if my every thought was about you?
If my every want was to be near you?
If my only need was you?
Is that being in love with you?
I guess I could say I'm not.
But then I'm getting quite good at lieing.
It doesn't matter anyway, who cares what I love.
I'm getting quite good at back stabbing,
And useing other people too.
Guess I'm learning how to grow up huh?
Destroy who I am in the process,
Oh well don't have a "who I am" anyways,
So I'll just pretend I'm an emotionless monster.
Lie, and tell everyone what they want to hear.
Then I can make everyone happy,
And use the hell outta them.
Make myself miserable for not being myself,
But least I'd have the satifaction,
Of not having the shoe marks on MY back.
Hurt enough people,
Make enough people cry,
Cry my last few tears,
And then I would eventually not care anymore,
(Not that I want to now)
And then,
Then I'll be a full fledge member of the human fucking race.
And then I might as well be dead.
So maybe I should jump to the end now?
And destroy all that I am,
Kill me.
Since my "friends" will eventually do it to me anyways. . . .
Or has it already been done,
And these thoughts are just the sad remnants,
Of a spirit,
Without a soul.

free eire
 
i remember time
coarse smelling like summer horses mowing a field
 
white stone upon grey stone upon blue upon mottled pink
wet with rain
soft thud of heads hitting soft stone
and rebels bleed on Irish moss
 
The hissing hissing of hot iron in cooling trough
hammers ring clear on anvil steel
Ping- Swing and Ping-- Swing and Ping-- Swing and Ping
to ring my neck with iron then rope
 
stale bread days and rotten straw nights
I lay chained in filth
 
My wife and child smell sea salt
sing with crying gulls
while sailing on weeping winds to freedom.

you rape me with

falling to pieces, my

my body aches from
sleepless nights, and
when i do find rest,
you dare to touch

you have crossed the

I wake to feel
him next to me
I yearn for his caress
Anticipating every kiss I silently
beg for more
but he is gone
and I alone
cry myself to sleep

"in your dreams you dream of flying"
she said to me then flew so high
and danced upon the tops of all the clouds
before my jealous eyes

"and in your fears you fear of dying"
she said to me then laughed and sighed
and ran a blade through herself a thousand times
before my jealous eyes

"and in your thoughts you think of lying"
and spoke to me my every lie
and made me feel ashamed for every time
and made me want to die

    Have you ever dreamed of making love
    To the stranger you want so much?
    Ever dream of those kisses
    Whenever you look in her eyes?
    I know she dreams of you each night.
    She wants to hold you.
    To kiss you.
    Get lost in your eyes.
    Confess to her
    All your hopes and fears.

    Do you ever wonder in the night
    What you did
    To deserve this.
    You held her tight one night
    Underneath the stars.
    She put her trust in you that night.
    But how could she ever trust
    The way she felt inside?

    Have you ever had a fear
    That eats away your heart?
    Such the want you have for her
    Wishing there were
    Some better way to start.

    So tell me once again just right,
    Have you ever dreamed
    Of making love to the stranger you want
    Every single night?

A rich, suggestive, spicy scent, a
    heavy smell of musk,
Breathing heady sunset flowers
    that bloom only at dusk,
Part of sweat and part of love
    and part of appetite,
My lover's scent lies curled between
    the sheets of our delight.



when my friend read this he asked me where the drool marks were on the paper.


Expression:
    " True Love "
    Movements made ; time lost
another dream gone by
    Sad heart ; hurting heart renching
silently I cry
    Tears forming ; in hot pools
spill over with one shake
    Going on is useless ; loving is foolish
now what step to take
    Letting go of things past
    Moving on like in a cast
    Some how
    at long last
I'll find true love.

TRUTH, LOVE, AND COURAGE

I miss those summer nights
Down in Orange Grove,
Where the Danderberries bloomed
And the night ballads filled
The skies with their allusions.
And I miss those days--
When you and I were together
In what seemed to be eternity.

I miss those adventures
Over the valleys' seams
Whe what we knew meant nothing
Of what was ahead--
And we expected the least
To what we ever wished
To know of ourselves-- of innocence;
I miss that innocence

I miss those bardic tales we knew
So well in our days of youth
Where love was everything
To us-- we needed it;
We couldn't live without it.
Where truth was vital
To our existance in life,
And where courage came from the heart.

And to all I miss the most
Is you who has left.
The love we once felt, abandoned;
Lies covered our honesty
And courage was thwated by
The cowerdice of our own foolish ways.
I miss the course we once had--
What we might have been.

As I echo from the beginning
I miss those bardic tales
Where truth always overcame lies;
I miss those adventures
Where courage kept us together;--
And I miss those summer nights
Where our love was strong--
And NOTHING could hold us apart.

In the night of the light

so that Colonel Batai

Onya to be guided

Subject : poem of puns
Written : 10/02/95.04:17am

This is another poem that the grade six class did for language. It is from
their unit on humor and I know that some people on the list like puns so
I'll post this one too!! I hope that every one has their mail on. There are
38 puns in this poem. They are simple puns like the Pears in pairs but it
took the combined effort of several teachers to know all the puns. See how
you guys measure up!!!Or, it's good for a silly laugh.

The Cherries' Garden Gala

The Cherries' garden gala
was the finest seen in years,
the Pears arrived in couples,
and the Prunes all carried shears,
the Greens had splendid collars,
and the Peaches wore new shoes,
an Orange dances a hornpipe,
and a Berry sang the blues.

The Beets were playing bongos,
as the Lettuce marched ahead,
the Zucchini made a racket,
but the Ginger seemed well-bred,
the Dates appeared unsteady.
though the Currants stayed on course,
the Turnips whirled in circles,
and the Radishes grew hoarse.

The Beans could not stop coughing
as the Corn told awful jokes,
the Plums were bobbing gaily
with some hearty Artichokes,
a Cauliflower listened
as the Grapes began to whine,
and the Melons started bawling
just to see the Apple pine.

When the Garlic dropped a penny
and the mint produced a bill,
the Chard grew overheated,
and a Pepper caught a chill,
then the Rhubarb got to fighting,
and the Lemons seemed afraid,
but the Thyme could not help watching,
though the Mushrooms all sought aid.

The Onions dipped politely,
as the Leeks began to spring,
the Sage repeated maxims,
and the Carrots formed a ring,
a Tomato acted saucy
to a rather bossy Pea,
and the Potatoes wept with pleasure
at the Cherries' jubilee.

I am going to write a poem from memory (so it may not be as good as the
original I have)

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

            COLOURS

BLACK and I have an agreement.
We don't acknowledge each other.
RED turns her back to me.
She doesn't see me as one of her children.
WHITE embraces but hates me.
I always feel as if I'm facing my greatest foe.
YELLOW sees me as a fascinating subject.
I seem to be under constant observations.
BROWN invites me like a stranger.
I'm always welcome but I'll never fit in.
COLOURLESS sees how I am treated and is appalled.
She looks upon the others and is shamed.
She takes me in, nurtures and protects me.
It is in her shadow that I grow strong.

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

I feel like I left some out but that happens when done by memory.
Please..PLEASE..write me and tell me what you think. I am 115388.

GI Joe

Gi Joe, a real american hero
Salute and call him Major Mental Disorder
He fights for Red, Right, and Blue
Wouldn't hesitate to run you through
He reads the sports page
and that is all he cares to know
GI Joe, a real american hero


well, here is one that was published in a hard back anthology called MEMORIES:
ISBN1-57087-023-3 Library of Congress Catalog Number: 93-94240 Copyright
1993               DARK SECRETS
                by Valerie Gerberich
        Locked up inside me
            this intolerable pain
                pounds at me endlessly
                    like Indian Rain.

        Deep wounds cover my soul, haunted memories torment my mind
        Slices of hatred, injustice, from you, evil, unkind.

        Frantic, I reach out...Scared, I shy away
        Frightened I lie still, keeping my ghosts at bay
       
    What it is, I can never tell
    Only those in same shoes,
    know this hell.                  They were there too.

    Dark secrets, black clouds, Bad memories, bad taste
                    in your mouth
                            as you

It changed you.

Trapped in the cold and darkened corner
Crying, tears streaming down
Feeling sadness rush all through my body
Loneliness surrounds me, making me shiver
Shivering, from the cold, and what seems to be
The endless night
It keeps going on, as if it were never to end
Barely staying awake, and barely staying warm
You pull me close to your body, and keep me warm
You provide for me, what I can not provide for myself
You wrap your arms around me, and pull me closer
The cold becomes steam hot, and the darkness lifts
Light shines from every way
Waters wash over, and wash away my sadness
No more loneliness, company is always provided
Live for the moment, and express what you wish ....

-Me

        Natural Beauty


    Like the forest in spring
    ablaze with life

    her smile, the warmth
    that fills my heart

    her touch, like magic
    with the power
    to heal from within

    her kiss, the answer
    to all my problems
    and prayers.

Yes ... matches the dark side of my personality :)

For those who care, here are the complete words to the song (and for those
who don't care, hit 'n'):

Aqualung

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold --
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end --
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone --
the army's up the rode
salvation  la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sot, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze --
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

One more by Zeela ... I think this one needs no explanation in this
forum:

DOWN AND DEPRESSED

They're  down and depressed
their emotions wrung out,
complications and fears
have given them doubts,
about their directions
down the road,
insecure in themselves
and their futures untold.
As tears fall down
their cheeks in streams
they wonder what happened
to their fairytale dreams,
of love and life
as it was meant to be
full of fun and happiness
and problem free.
The anguish builds
in their despair
as the torment grows
and it's hard to bare.
The smile they express
is not true
the pain they feel
still shows through.

For the soul can be read
in ones eyes,
like an open book
they tell no lies.
But deep inside
there's a spark of hope
and with support
of loved ones
they begin to cope
They tackle each mountain
one step at a time,
they may fall back,
but they continue to climb.
With determination and faith
as their seeds, they look above
for their needs.
God is there by their side
to guide them in
their everyday stride.

I can see the overwhelming response to Zeela's poem :)

Here's another one:  Zeela has another friend who leaves a little
snot hanging down when she blows her nose.  None of her friends
would tell her this, so Zeela wrote the following poem and gave it
to her:

The friend's name is Laura Mae (for real) ... Net is Jeanette (another
friend) and the poem is writeen from Laura Mae's perspective.

ODE TO BOOGERNOSE

We went shopping
my friends and I,
and decided to get
a bite to eat
before we said good-bye.
As we entered the restaurant
it felt kind of eerie,
for everyone I saw
looked at me kind of leary.
As we sat at the table
I started to realize
that even my friends
couldn't look me in the eyes.
They would glance at each other
and look my way,
were they keeping a secret
from me, their friend,
Laura Mae?
I got so upset
I jumped upon the floor,
"What's going on here?"
I shouted,
"I can't take it anymore!"
With my hands on my hips
in my angry pose,
everyone shouted,
"Okay, okay,"
"You're a Boogernose!"
In my embarrassment
I ran outside
to find a place
where I could hide.
I stuck my finger
up my honker
to try to find
that ugly monster.
I fought and fought
and it finally came out.
It wasn't a pretty sight,
but I won the bout.
I gave it a flick
and it flew thru the air,
I could hardly contain myself
as it landed in Net's hair.
I didn't say a word
and went on my way
for this was my secret
and it made my day.

    They bash their
    Claw-like weapons
    Into my flesh,
    And force pins in,
    Making me bleed
    An invisible blood.
    And only to hang
    Egotistical reflections
    Of eachother.
    Behind the thick,
    Sticky paper I am
    Smothering, and it's
    Converting me into
    A hideous hue.
    I slowly await
    For my day of death,
    When flames of fury ignite........
