Posted: 12/24/2005 1:41:43 PM | I have slain the all consuming Dragon of my unrequited love
Simply by shedding my armor and leaving that dark cave
Allowing the Light of true love to shine on me
Consuming me completely | |

walked on water
but there was a bridge
I have stood as I do stand
So maybe I will come back later
being not drunk since this was neither planned | |

Posted: 12/24/2005 5:21:45 PM | Polished chrome and steel
From handle bar to wheel
It’s just a pile of parts
Until the engine starts
Loud as hell that’s what I like
Don’t understand? Well it’s not your bike!
Driving fast passing cages
Giving them fuel for their rages
Coastal road or mountain pass
Yes it’s dangerous but it’s my ass
If you drive slow use left lane
If you don’t know I can’t explain | |

An Hour on Show
25 December 2005
My Christmas Day
was but to an end
While the world had
its own Christmas to depend
So that was me
in an hour to go
Because then it will be over
in Christmas this year to show
A day of joy
a day of suffering made good
To love her and him
and love her more in would
Beauty to fall
Ontario in name
This poet of conquest
her to spirit same
“. . . Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications:
in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.”
Psalms 143: 1 KJV

Posted: 12/25/2005 2:20:22 AM | A Christmas Unforgotten
Once each year I enjoy a precious moment
Decorating a home-made Christmas tree
With ornaments of forgotten love and joy
Doing this from the heart and memory...
On our first time in art class
We sat next to another most profound
Making tinsel out of popcorn strands
As I place them all around...
On the very first Christmas together
A gift I bought to represent you
The dazzling crystal azure angel
As I place it in the front view...
On our second Christmas together
Happier then ever playing in the snow
Putting the carrot where it belongs
I place the snowman's scarf below...
On the third Christmas together
Our hands reach up to intertwine
Illuminating the house with lights
As I place candy canes behind...
On the final Christmas eve together
The beautiful sparkle captures my eye
Cozy and cuddling next to the tree
As I place the shining star up high...
On our last first kiss
I remember our utmost love
An eternity everlasting bliss
I hang the mistletoe above...
Many years have passed by
A reminiscence of happiness
All alone staring at the tree
Filled with sadness and misery... | |

Heart to Breast
26 December 2005
Her mind was deep - her heart full
Her eyes were beaches as to rest
Her body beautiful
in breast to breast
Resting upon her understanding
a woman timid as to grow
Those features of just
her knows cute to scent
Whether to reign
or kind to repent
A mother with child
full in figure to desire
Her eyes the windows - to a
place of nurture to achieve
Everything her innocence
doth proclaim in completeness
to truthfully believe
“The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the
earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.”
Psalms 50: 1-2 KJV

Posted: 12/28/2005 8:11:53 PM | hey yall! Just a quick one before bed, not a poem, a short fable I wrote when I first came here.
I took my dog to the bank the other day, without his leash.
All the tellers and patrons were amazed and admiring how cool and mannered Dusty was.
Need less to say, his owner/trainer was glowing with pride of his manner and coolness.
Well, upon leaving, with all eyes glued on our departure, Dusty, just happened to miss the door and walks right into the window beside it.
The whole bank burst into laughter. :)
There's no avoiding blunder! :) | |

| About time huh
Posted: 12/28/2005 8:25:19 PM | well i was invited months ago to post but i was lazy but im finaly doing it so here ya go kids hope you enjoy it.
there is a place we could hide
where the rich is poor
and the rest are all wise
when you get there you will know
the streets a paved in gold
with one word you can get what you came for
in time it will show
you will grow tired and old
and the voices in the corner will echo in laughter
if you try you could leave
but it is harder then it seems
cause we all know we would rather feel safe and secure
sometimes our thoughts we are not to sure of
and did you wonder
why you feel regret
after shaking the hand of a person you have never met
and our thoughts we abuse mislead and confuse
and still those corners echo in laughter
and though whispers i choose
it refills and renews
all my hopes and dreams that come after
if you look to the west
you will confess and your feelings and heart aches
and you long for the new day
in the same old way you seek the warmth of a loved one
if there's an echoing the long run
don't be shocked
it's just the piper leading you to your dreams
yes there is two paths you can head down
so come along now the piper won't wait for you
have you ever wondered
if you choose the unbeaten path
you won't last
it is long weary and full of hate
but if you take the short path you will cheat your self
cause it is shallow and callus
so you can hear the echo in the wind
maybe so but it came from with in
and there is a fork in the road
pick the wrong way it will steal your soul
mention eternity it will unfold
no good deed goes untold
but still you will be undersold
did it make you wonder | |

For the Hell of Art
29 December 2005
Just to be a kind of poet
and only care in heart
Some might be right
but what the hell was art
As to write from
the left to hear
To not give a damn
of critics - nor shed a jeer
For those who know
open up their soul
These words upon
a page being pure and whole
Just to be someone
and that was all
Someone to make
others happy and stand tall
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what
judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
Matthew 7: 1-2 KJV

Egg Time Soup
03 May 2005
If I did not listen
I would never learn
As to each lined up to attention
in flames of fire to burn
Such damnation
such damning thought
But who am I but a poet
in the centre line of a target caught
Then I never stopped the think
because I was busy listening
for what came next
Of this power in resuscitation
of each wayward text
Time and time
and love in being true
Then in reality
this was but
three minutes and
eighteen seconds
to do
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make
long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.”
Matthew 23: 14 KJV

Posted: 12/28/2005 10:43:15 PM | What leads a man to criticise
Yet be afraid to show his wares
Is it that his heart is filled with lies
And fears his soul to bare
To step out and record your thought
Would seem of brave to me
To taunt and ridicule from far
Would make him less than thee
I'll not agree with every verse
Our minds do not need meet
But I will respect a mans domain
A Gentle mans Decree
You kick ass Poet. | |

Posted: 12/29/2005 2:32:47 PM | poetry flows when necessary with the heart and soul... when i was young i wrote during school and now again many many years later i find myself writing again
Falling From Heaven
Born on this earth we breathe, we live, we love
Each day the sun rises and falls as the sky fills with stars
Looking into the heavens i wish upon a star above.
Will i find my woman of Venus, to be with this man of Mars
The moon shines more brightly tonight as if to smile at me
A shooting star burns across the sky from mountain to sea
I feel alive with wonder and soo many questions tonight
Staring above into the first star burning bright
Searching inside my heart that still beats strong
Life can sometimes be cruel in love, heartache and pain
Still believing that finding everlasting love cannot be wrong
My soul still radiates and tells me that believing is sane
Will i be intwined with another searching soul forever in love
Being lifted upwards by my question towards the nightly sky
A voice whispers as i turn to see a beautiful white dove
Now upon a cloud i ask the dove how and why
Within your heart you already know, as does your soul
I jump and begin falling from heaven
joey h | |

Posted: 12/29/2005 2:55:10 PM | i get so bored at work that i write, wich is sad considering i do have alot of stuff i should be doing lol.
I keep moving on
Like I have something to prove in the long run
Take hold of my hand
I will pull you in
And full fill my desire
You look like an angel
With your halo held so high
This is where I come in
Corrupt you. make you sin
And watch your wings float out with the tide
Fooled once again
I feed my demons deep with in
As the end of your world starts to begin
I am in the corner with a grin
Never letting on I am the reason for your demise
That’s right I am your worst fear in a sweat disguise
So stand in deliverance
As I sink the knife deeper into your heart
And watch your life fade from your eyes
As I dance in the dark | |

| So ya wanna be a poet?
Posted: 12/29/2005 3:12:42 PM | ok one more then i should do some work lol
I know the time elapsed
Because I watched it melt away
Into a strange brew
That put a hex on me and you
You lost the fundamentals that make
Sense of the world we
Presume the truth is lost and gained and lost all the same
Light the path that leads into darkness
And watch as ill communication takes a hold of me
Pursue the means and watch the sun go down
I know the time collapsed
And I watched the hands go round
Stumble to grasp the truth
I feel the lie with in
Hit me with a force so strong
It nearly broke my being
You can’t handle the me
And I don't want anything of you
But it wasn't your fault
Doesn’t mean you aren't to blame
The whole world is comforting in a poetic
Way the sky that touches no bounds
Can still move me
And at one time I knew time elapsed
And I watched the time go by
I did my time
Went through my mind and found the missing link
Is it comforting knowing
Second guessing is getting you by
Come comfort me as well
Don’t let me down
Feel my heartbeat with in go silent now
i am at peace
And inside out there shouldn't be any sense of being
Between supposed and lovers
Between those who do and don't matter
I know time elapsed | |
