What a night
terrible fright
sitting in the dark
staring at the screen
all of the sudden
something had fallen
alive upon my head
I started to scream
ran to the mirror
to check it out
put my head upside down
shook my hair about
whatever it was
must found a way out
for nothing could be seen
Tree-2006 laughing now but wasn't then | |

Posted: 5/2/2006 12:59:43 AM | There came a feeling in her hair
She jumped and scream with fright
An unknown creature landed there
On that darkened night
She shook and shook but nothing showed
A chill went through her bones
She laughed it off, but doesn't know
The bug was sent by oms
mwaaaaahhhhh...:) | |

Posted: 5/2/2006 2:16:41 AM | Was it a spider
that gave you
such a fright
those eight leggs
and many eyes
pryed open fangs
ready to bite
did it climb down
from a web on high
were you it's target
if so what did you do
did you run from the room
screaming with fear or
slap your head smashing
it in flat in your hair
but wait you said you
found no trace but
did you turn over your hand
and look for it's waste I say
just wipe it off forget this disgrace... | |

Posted: 5/2/2006 4:44:36 AM | Oh OMS
you cheeky bugger
sent cat something you
often eat for supper
you consider it a treat
still I see no evidence
of it mate so it makes
me wonder did she really
receive that dastardly deed
can I ave one send it over
I am gettin pretty hungry...yumm | |

Posted: 5/2/2006 5:34:11 AM | She sits alone
day by day
counting each moment
lost in the daze
forgot about life
forgot about love
could not tell you
what tears is made of
still she hold's on
still she survive's
the sun rise encourages
the moon shuts her eyes
hunger is no stranger
she sat with him before
with nothing more to give
she gently bolts the door
someday someone
will find her still alone
someday someone
will wonder on and on
how did she get like this
what pushed her off the edge
not spoke about in certain circles
that's why she has no friends
can't reach out for help when
you have no one or nowhere to go... | |

Posted: 5/3/2006 6:06:22 AM | What is she thinking
at this very moment
is her day sunny n bright
am I even in her thoughts
still to blame for her faults
should of never walked away
the pain is easier these days
that is until I see her face
you can never really know somebody
until you take the time to let em in
a true love kiss should last forever
not tossed n scattered to the wind
I often feel these memories creepin in
She has a way to make you feel good
a quality few can have least choose
I could not see it no at the time so I
let my freedom be confused with pride
you can never really know somebody
until you've lost them and hurt inside
a true love kiss does last forever
so do what it takes to make it right
and then for the rest of your life
you won't search for ways to survive
you can never really know somebody
until you love em madly day and night... | |

Posted: 5/3/2006 8:29:46 AM | From the darker side
The pain does not subside
For this gal I took aside
To whom I did confide
"No lover by my side"
She put away the pride
And took me for a ride
Her rules I can't abide,
Now I take it all in stride
I Know I could have cried
I thought I might have died
By now my eyes have dried
And seek a better guide
Although I realize
That I am no great prize
'Cause on the Darker Side
Is where I choose to hide
Thanx sweetie, I'll try to get back for more...
Nice stuff everyone | |

Posted: 5/3/2006 12:53:36 PM | dramatic acts of rage,
a heated firestorm leaving none behind,
raging flames of feelings
make old embers flare inside,
reminders of almost forgotten scars
yes to bad the change couldnt stick  | |

Posted: 5/3/2006 11:51:42 PM | I wanna take a ride
with you baby
in my Ford F 150
turn up the music
as loud as it will go
yeah on a gravel road
I wanna dance
with you baby
by headlight then maybe
we can own the night
let it get into our soul
yeah on a gravel road
takin it easy
takin it slow
let it set us on fire
way on down below
eye to eye
kiss by kiss
dreams can never
be like this
love nobody can hold
born on a gravel road
eye to eye
kiss by kiss
dreams can never
be like this
let the good times roll
yeah on a gravel road... | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 12:26:26 AM | Lip stick traces
on my cigarette
her perfume lingers
with me I can't forget
had some good times
and we had some bad
but when it was over
it never made me sad
more than experience
she gave to me
I was young
I was so free
no preconceived ideas
of her wants and needs
love was something you'd speak
when you were feeling the heat
but time has made me wiser
and time has made me grow
more than youth exploding
but what did I know
If I could go back in time
change some thing's I might find
that love was there waiting for me
and it was more than a little blind
more than a memory
she gave to me... | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 1:14:49 AM | Hey Cat...can you finish this one?
He loved her more
than any word could say
but he was confused
shy and affraid
he needed her to say
if that kiss only meant
something to him or
if she feel's the same...
Jump on in there girl finish it off... | |

Rather than that of what we don't see
Destroying that of what we could see

Posted: 5/4/2006 7:41:14 PM | On the Darker side of life is
-- Age --
With age comes lust
Want of most things beyond our grasp
The envy of all we have and have not been
The material of all our desires and dreams
With age comes memories
Like those of our youthful souls
The children we have begotten
The seeds of new and old
Let us not forget the rotten
With age comes respect
For the beauty in the scene
Most of which we have seen
Good wine and fine cheese
A beach with a summer breeze
With age comes Sorrow
For the suffering we have caused
Things that we have wrought
The ones we have forgot
The wicked things we have sought
With age comes pain
From our daily struggle
To achieve our daily bread
Crumbs to eat instead
Thoughts within our head
Each night we go to bed
With age comes despair
In our lonely wheelie chair
Our sons and daughters gone
Too busy for so long
To even come and sing a song
With age comes death
An end to all that was and is
No shame to forgive
Suffering to be had or give
Honor we have to live
In the hands of death comes memories
For the ones we left behind
Our youthful seeds of souls
The grapes on all the vines
The gratitude we should give
For whom beyond the grave we live

Posted: 5/5/2006 4:32:22 AM | The tamale n taco man
came down my street
had something in his cart
yet nothing I could eat
so I said hey there Paco
take that cart somewhere else
this is a nice place to live
you've got nothing more to give
so shove off before I go now
and call the police arriva arriva
He looked with fire in his eye's
said he was providing a service
or one of them drug dealer lies
I said oh yeah then why do you
sell taco's n tamales in disguise
do I look like some rube who
illegally came through the border
one more time I will tell you to
get that cart and you out of here
this street is safe from the likes of you
I'm gonna take back the ground
that's my town street by street
I'm gonna call my Congressman
and tell him how mad yeah I am
No more sitting on my hands and
No more head in the sand I can
Do my part and don't let it start
where I choose to work and live
I will do what it take's because I can... | |

Posted: 5/5/2006 5:00:50 AM | Calm before the storm
came with no warning
she walked out on me
even took the paint off the walls
man I mean she took everything
some say that's the way it goe's
Why was I yeah I
the last one to know
someone somewhere
knew something but
that's the way it goes
Sitting there in total disgust
I examined every clue
like a soldier of fortune
I was so ready to move
then the thought hit me
like a bolt out of the blue
my daddy's word's came true
he said son one day if you
Lay down with dogs
get ready to scratch some fleas
deviousness is a powerful thing
a man becomes weaker when he
doesn't stop to think and then
it's usually too late so say hello to
Heartbreak
Heartbreak
Heartbreak
pieces of you
it will take
a wild ride
no escape
Heartbreak... | |

Posted: 5/5/2006 5:18:06 AM | He took her hand
let her head lay
upon his shoulder
they felt the night
drawin in
as he kissed her
he wondered
would she still be there
tomorrow
so he held on
a little tighter
she smelled so sweet
she talked with a whisper
he listened to every word
again and again
rolling like thunder
under the covers
seekin some shelter
and so they did
again and again
he woke up
she was gone
his broken heart
played that same sad song
then in through the door
she walked in and he said
thank you babe so she said
for what and he said everything... | |

Posted: 5/7/2006 1:24:29 PM | I started writing who I have finally seen to be the love of my life, so to get used to writing letters by hand i have started to write my poems instead of typing heres my newest one
Death in life as light goes into darkness
ravaged corpses crumble to dust
as the blight engulfs the world whole
demons reign over the vagrent souls
and devour them live to satisfy their bloodlust
it went dark but I have no idea were it was going | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 4:50:00 AM | While playin pool
I watched her sit down
she gave me a smile
I lost that round
so I swaggered up
with nothin to say
didn't need to anyway
she was ready to play
beauty like this
for me's hit n miss
gonna go for gold
oh so ready to go
she looked so good
sittin in my corvette
the smell of her everywhere
to this day I can't forget
she was movin n groovin
she was hot to the touch
I never thought that much
before that day about love
she cried faster baby
the top down
made her come alive
she wasn't frightened
of me or this ride
naturally satisfied
I'm in love
and can't get enough
I'm in love
can't sleep eat or do much
I'm in love
nothin about this is tough
I'm in love
and can't get enough... | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 5:28:46 AM | I took her hand
led her out
she was in a bad way
her world crashin down
she held me firm as the
tears kept fallin down
yeah I feel so helpless
I struggled for the words
or anything I could say
sometimes silence is golden
heavy hearts feel much pain
yeah I feel so helpless
you can go round and round
this old world and discover
this happens to everyone
sometimes it's hard to ponder
joy and pain sunshine and rain
unbalanced becomes insane
yeah I feel so helpless
to touch the moment you must
seize each day think about it
only in bad times do we feel the
weight get out from under it
yeah I feel so helpless... | |

Change can be such a fear
even when you know
goodness it will bring near
It can make you quiver
give you the shivers
cause you to run
until it's undone
you see the folly
and your sorry
Change can be such a fear

Blame it on Fear
17 April 2006
I fear you, because
you don’t respond
I fear you, because
of a broken heart
I fear your love
as if you have loved me
Then I know, this was not love
but fear, I was unable to love in kind
So much to barriers
watery graves to deepen
Time the burden transferred
to look into your eyes and know
this fear was real, in ways to communicate
For your heart was lightening
your beat a symphony
Where fear has legs and footsteps
while I am unable to step
“And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful,
O ye of little faith? . . .”
Matthew 8: 26 KJV
