There by connie walker
There is something about the way he kisses,
that send my whole soul soaring,
There is something about the way his thumbs moves across my jaw
line.........
I will never you leave you now, never leave you now......
Just think how my love, our love will grow,
It will grow, my adore it shall grow,
How much, we can never know.....
I feel like a Queen on her thrown, all I need is you for my subject,
I feel like you have hugged my very heart,
I can never leave you now, never leave you now
You are love, your breath, your touch, your everything,
You are my life, you are my air....
I will always love you know, loving you now....
Rich
She asked how am I rich, even with nothing?
How do I explain my gain....
It is amazing how the best things can't be bought,
but you may try in Vain!
I am covered in solid riches, that warms me.
Solid riches that kisses my face.....
There is no card, no atm, no amount of savings that can buy that one
glance
Yet I am rich in those glances, countless reciever of them in the
morning,
but you may try, still in vain!
I can run my fingers through my riches, I can be one with my wealth,
She smiled and asked me no more.......
It came to me
World was so cold, world was so mean,
still my destiny, my solitude and isolation,
was there no one for me,
It took time, much time,,
yet still my yearning held on,
still we belived, that my one would come,
come and rescue me.
He heard my cries for love, and that was all that he needed
He heard my cries for love and he came and he stayed,
all throguh the night, he wouldn't dare leave me alone,
He wrapped himself with my fears, wrapped himself with my cold,
It took long, but now we are free, free to love on another,
Love has taken over me, has to taken me to my paradise.
My paradise spree...........
Hard Hope
Hoped hard, Hoped long, Hoped with tears, Hope with head held high to
the
stars,
Hoped with the falling rain, Hoped with pain, Hoped in despair, Hope
when no
one cares,
Hoping to God that he could see, Hoping to God that someone would
rescue me,
Hoping with a frown, hoping with a smile, all that mattered is that I
keep
hope alive for a while.
Hope brought me this and Hope can bring you that,
Hope is what we all need, remember that.......

"Roads"
by J.R.R. Tolkien (Dedicated by Andrew Rogers)
Roads go ever on
Over rock and under tree,
Through caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Through snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

Me
My mind a vast book,
My face shows signs of stress and heartache,
My body aches with the pain of crule people,
Minds closed up like oysters hideing the secret treasue,
I hunt these people I feed on making them happy once gain,
I think in a different way then everyone else,
I see what they do not,
I can't do everything but I can still do something,
And because I can not do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Halls of the blind
I see what you see not,
Vision blury then eyes rot,
Voices speak from beyond,
Creatures sing there hidden song,
Sounds ring all around me,
Shadows exsist where light should be,
From the heart, soul, or mind,
Cast into the halls of the blind.

BEING
Written by Melissa Blaylock
Being in this place
It makes me scared to know
Something is going on
If you know, it better show
I need to tell somebody
Before all is left behind
All will die before the sun
before the sun will rise.

The Begining of the Rest of Our Lives
Written by Shuenuts@aol.com
We will leave the faces we have grown to know behind,
but the memories we have had will always be kept in our mind .
We are afraid of what our futures may hold .
What this journey will be like, we only know what we have been told .
This is all a part of life, growing up and moving on,
but we are unsure if moving ahead could mean that our past is gone .
If only things could stay as they are .
Then the things we felt we have lost won't seem as far .
We will be stepping ahead and leaving our childhood in the past .
Never thinking that just a few years could move so fast .
We push through the halls and can't wait for the day to
end,
but we are approaching the final days and it's hard to comprehend .
For when we walk out of these doors and say our final good-byes,
we will stop and think ; This is The Begining of the Rest of Our Lives .

My World
My world would not be complete without you;
You are the stars I see in the sky
You are the birds, I see fly
You are the heaven I feel all around me
I see you and me.
And when I see your eyes of Oceans
the storm comes in and rumbles
the clouds come in like rolling thunder
and the rainbow sweeps over the sky
my tongue goes numb, the tingling starts to soar
I am in the arms of a special other.
But no other than you,
and thats what I see when I see you.

The Long Distance
Its a long way...
To go for you...
Its hard to see the further...
On my way to start over...
Its the past that has cursed me...
Thats not the life I want for you...
Its what I have done...
The pain of it still hurts me...
It seems so far from me...
The things I want to give you...
Its gona be a long battle...
To over come my past...
Its not gona be easy...
The distance is great...
Its your love..
The beleafe you have in me...
It is the thought...
Of being with you...
It makes me want to fight...
To go the distance...
It makes me forget the past...
To hope for the further...

Hook a duck.
in the heat of the night
i lie awake, burning
the sweat running
down my red face
i stare into the black
theat now consumes me
No more can i see ahead
i've reached the final gate
now is here, ready
to take me with it
to step through the gate
to enter a new time
i take a final look
at my path through life
and how i never achieved
my goal, my aim, - my love
i laugh in my face
at how little i've become
with my wisdom and knowledge
i step through with time
it guides me now
holding my hand, like a child
i walk with time, to a new
a place with new wonders
i am full of doubt, and
puzzlement, of my new home
where will it through me
where will it leave to rest
i want to what i don't
but still no one tells me
my frustration grows
and impatience to know
but is this the way to be?
as time walks with me
am i supposed to grow to hate
and become a ball of fury, - maybe so
do i have to question time?
in its struggle to drag me
down its endless path
- i'm puzzled
questions and thoughts rush past me
i can hardly see them all
but is this the way to be
a lucky dip in life
as many thoughts pass me by
do i stick out my hook?
and grab one of the paths?
or do i sit here bewildered
i've paid to play the game
to try my luck here
on the "huck a duck" stall
- only it's not key fobs i'm playing for
"step right up sir"
"only your life to play, that's all"
"grab a duck, win a prize"
"everyone's a winner here today"
i leave the stall to wonder
i look around for a while
another stall confronts me
- the house of mirrors
i enter this harmless tent
and wonder through
i dare not look at my reflection
but walk through, buying time
i stop at one mirror
yet see nothing in it
i notice writing above all the mirrors
i look up at this one
with fear and dread with me now
looking back at some of the mirrors
the mirrors i pased by so quickly but it's too late now
in bold letters at the top
is a written sign, for me
"le fin"
- the mirror now jet black
i stare into it
nothing to show for it
- words appera in my way now,
"enter - if you dare" - so we begin again

He will carry you
When the road of life becomes to rough
And you feel it's just too tough
He will carry you
When the rain is crashing round
And you're shaken by the thunder's sound
He will carry you
When you're abandoned my your friends
And you don't know how to make amends
He will carry you
When you feel so lonely inside
And you wish you could run and hide
He will carry you
When your heart is filled with peace
And your mind is fully at ease
When you couldn't be more satisfied
And you've forgotten all the tears you've cried
Will you let Him carry you?

"HouseWives"
By Tammy Proctor
Cooking,cleaning,washing clothes,Thats pretty much how my day goes.
Its all a pretty big bore. Especially when I have to mop the floors!
Do we housewives ever get a break?
How much more of this can we take?
Bathing the kids,washing their hair,
Sometimes I ask myself"Why I have to be there?"
Fixing lunch Were having SpaggettiO's,
but the toddler,s screaming"She wants CherriO's!
Oh my!,What have we done?
This aint my idea of having fun!
Time for a nap "Go to bed"
Oops the baby feel and bumped his head
He's crying now,cause he is sore
"Oh Lord I cant take it no more!!!"
They prayed The Lord their souls to keep.
Now they are sound asleep.
I sit down now to watch my soap,
the one about Victor and Hope.
Its over now "What shall I do?"
I think I'll call my honey and tell him
"I Love you!"
I hear the school bus coming down the lane.
Oh how my head is in so much pain!
Time to say "Good Night"
"I Love You All"
I think tomorrow I'll go to the mall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY RAGE
ALL MY LIFE I HAVE WATCHED THE WORLD MESS UP
I WONDER WHEN SOME ON IS GOING TO CLEAN UP
OUR GOVERMENT AND OUR STATE LAWS
THE ROTTEN THINGS THEY DO AND THESE BACKSTABBING LAWS
I HATE TO SEE A WORLD GONE MAD
BUT OPEN YOUR EYES THE POLITICIANS ARE VERY BAD
THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS OR FIGHTING LIKE CATS
AMERICA HAS LOST ITS SPINE
AND THE GOVERMENT IS TUCKING ITS TALE BEHIND
WE FEED THE WORLD ,BUT WHAT OF US
WE STILL DONT HAVE ENOUGH TO FEED US
THE Y2K IS GOING TO GET US
BECAUSE THE WHITE HOUSE IS FIGHTING OVER LUST
WE NEED A BETTER BUNCH ON CAPITAL HILL
BECAUSE THE LOAD WE GOT IS ALL ON A BUNCH OF PILLS
WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE
NOT HORNY SEX RIDDEN MEN AND WOMEN WITH NO PEOPLE SKILLS
MY RAGE IS AT THE JUSTICE THAT IS NO JUSTICE
A BABY CAN LEAD BETTER THAN OUR SO CALLED JUSTICE
43 MILLION ON OUR PRESIDENT GETTING HEAD
STILL NOT SEEING KIDS AND FAMILIES HUNGRY OR DEAD
THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER RESPECT GOVERMENT
ITS ALL LIES AND GOOD TALKERS,JUST WHAT WE CALL PARLIMENT
MONEY POWER AND RESPECT
IS THE GOVERMENT WE LOVE TO HATE AND MY RAGE WONT RESPECT.

UNTITLED
(dedicated to a HOTGIRL)
Written by GUNSNMBR2@aol.com
Whenever i am with you
all bad feelings go away
you are on my mind
almost every single day
your voice your warmth your gentle touch
are somethings i adore
i dont know what i'd do
if i couldnt have them anymore
you fill my heart with happiness
and only if you knew
just how much you mean to me
and just what id do for you
When we touch it sends a chill
directly down my spine
and as i look into your eyes
i thank god that your mine,

WE have just begun
Written by GUNSNMBR2@aol.com
Her hair is like a summer's breeze blowing on the shore
Her lips are red as roses petals her hearts an open door
her eyes hold secrets to her past which she keeps tucked away
ill hold her close and then i hope with me she'll want to stay
i never thought i'd see the day that together we'd be one
if i could tell me one thing more it'd be wed just begun.

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MAN
YOU CAN CALL YOUR SELF A MAN,BUT YOUR ARE NOT ONE
YOU BE KING OF THE WORLD BUT YOU STILL WILL NOT BE ONE
YOU CAN MAKE A CHILD YOU STILL ARE NOT ONE
BUT IF YOU LOVE A WOMAN RIGHT AND GIVE HER YOUR LIFE ,YOU ARE ON THE ROAD TO BEING ONE
TO BE A MAN YOU MUST LEARN TO SUFFER FOR YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN YOU LOVE
TO GIVE YOUR ALL NOT AS YOUR JOB,BUT FROM YOUR HEART AND OUT OF LOVE
TO LIVE AND LAUGH AND NOT HAVE A TEAR IN YOUR EYE
TO CONSUME YOU WIFES PAIN AND WIPE THE TEARS FROM HER EYES
TO TELL THE TRUTH EVEN IF YOU PRIDE REFUSES TOO
TO LET YOUR WOMAN IN ON YOUR BLUES AND THE SAD FEELINGS IN YOU
TO FIGHT FOR YOUR WOMANS HAND AT ANY TIME
TO GRAB AND KISS HER AND TELL HER YOU LOVE HER ALL THE TIME
TO NEVER FEAR YOU DESIRES INSIDE
AND ALWAYS BE WILLING TO SHOW YOUR WILDSIDE
TO LOVE YOUR FAMILY LIKE YOU LOVE YOU
BE LOVING TO THEM ALL UNTIL YOUR LIFE IS THROUGH
TO GROW OLD AND STILL HOLD YOUR LADYS HAND
TO ALWAYS TELL HERE I LOVE YOU AND I AM YOUR MAN
BE FRUITFUL IN TAKING CARE OF HER
AND NEVER LET HER FORGET YOU LOVE HER
WHEN THESE THINGS ARE DONE AND YOUR LIFE HAS COME TO PAST
AND YOU HAVE GRAND KIDS CALLING YOU GRAND DAD
REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS TO LIVE A MANS LIFE
AND THE LOVELY MOMENTS WITH YOUR WIFE
AND YOU WILL KNOW YOU ARE A MAN
BY SCOTTIE

The image in the mirror (copyright)
I see a longing face
Staring back at me
When I gaze into the mirror
Emptiness is what I see
The image in the mirror
Lacks a now lost joyfulness
I see a much confused girl
Whose life seems such a mess
As I gaze into her face
I see longing in her eyes
She can't escape herself
On the things that make her cry
I feel my heart begin to ache
And my eyes start to finally see
This confused and needy girl,
Could "She" possibly be me?
Kami C. Haitz

The hidden "me"
I am broken and alone
My heart seeks unspoken desires
I am slowly turning to stone
In my soul are dwindling fires
I cry out into the night
But I know there's no one to hear
There's no more strength to fight
Who I am is my biggest fear
I despise the person I am inside
No one sees my leery soul
Only God knows the tears I've cried
Oh, how I wish I could be made whole
People have accepted what they see in me
Yet I will always let them down
There's so much more I know I can be
There are hidden flaws to still be found

"im a fool"
Written by DAWN FELPS
why did i love you, and why did i care?
you were a flirt and that was all.
when you said "i love you" i thought it was true,
but all it did was make me a fool.
i was taught that abstinance was the thing to do,
but you said its ok, and i love you, and again i though it was true.
the next day i felt really great, and even after the next few times,
until i found out i was late.
the next few months my stomach started to swell,
you didnt love me, why couldnt i tell.
you never call me anymore,
after you found out it was yours.
now i know im a fool,
i only had sex because i thought it was cool.
i should have listened to my parents,
because abstinance is the number one rule.
now im laying in the hospital bed ,not feeling really reat,
i feel like im going to die, like this is my fate.
your not here to your newborn boy,
do you think this is a game,
your sons not a toy.
im still in the hospital, when i should be home,
they say im not going to make it, and i feel like im all lone.
how could i be so stupid to give it up to you,
you didn tlove me, you only made me feel like a fool.
one night of pleasure,
nine months of pain.
and now my lifes going down the drain.
im sitting here dying, and my life is fading,
you are finally here, and your going to watch me die.
your a sorry bastard, and you probly wont even cry.
why did i waste my life on you,
god please tell me, what did i do?
i am now fading, and all i see is a bright light,
now that i am dying i finally figured out,
my parents were always right.

"The Perfect Place"
Written by Ilana
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE NO ONE CRIES
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE NO FLIES
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE IS NICE
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO MICE
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE THERE IS A PLACE THAT IS ALL WHITE
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE IT IS NEVER NITE
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE FUN
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN RUN
THAT PLACE IS SOMEWHERE NEAR
THAT SOMEWHERE IS HERE
Written by Pussycat31

This poem was written by nelson yiga
Can't nobody here hold me down
It is the weight to me
Can't nobody lift my smile
Until Im happy with me
I found to know that when iam happy
Everybody wants to bring me down.
But I won't let go
So this is what I did
The feeling I had was fear
A fear of doing right
And never messing up
Iam a wrestler well balanced on both sides
Let me take you thru a thought
many of which I get
After Iam done,I'll tell you about yourselves
And how I enjoyed the time we spent.
Iam looking at you
you are looking at me
wondering whats she is thinking about
With intensity
forgetting that when I was a child
I used to pretend alot

THE Rose
By Billy LITTLE
Once There Was An Angel Flying Thru The Beautiful Sky, Flying And Searching
For Happiness.
One Day As The Angel Flew Thru The Sky,
She Saw A White Rose,
A Rose That Was Ever So Beautiful, Growing From A Soft And Fluffy Cloud.
The Angel Was So Amazed That Such A Beautiful Rose Could Ever Grow Upon A
Cloud, Floating Effortlessly Thru The Blue Sky.
The Angel Decided To Pick The Rose And Hide It For Her Own And No One Could
Take It Away.
So The Angel Picked The Beautiful Rose And Flew Thru The Sky And Decided To
Hide Behind The Moon Where It Was Dark, Surly No One Would Look There.
As Time Went By, The Angel Had Discovered That The Rose Was Dying And Started
To Cry,
"Oh My God What Have I Done,
I Took A Beautiful Rose And Hid In The Dark,
And Now The Rose Is Dying."
"Oh God I Have Done Wrong.
I Should Have Left The Rose Alone,
And Let It Fly Effortlessly Thru The Sky And Show To All What I Have
Discovered!"
For That It Would Have Always Been Mine To Enjoy
And For Everyone To See The Beauty That It Was.
"Oh God Is It Too Late To Put It Back And Let It Go Effortlessly Thru The
Sky?"
"No, My Winged Friend!
Put Back What You Have Taken."
"Surly Something Will Come Of It.
Whether The Rose Grows Or Dies,
You Will Have The Wisdom To Know Right From Wrong."
"Truly, My Winged Friend, Come Back Often And Look, For That Alone You Will Be
Reminded Of A Past Gone By, And Truly A Rose Will Once again Grow."
"Only If It Is Deep Within .......
Reminding You Of A Past Gone By........

Another poem by Billy LITTLE
Sea Of Love
~
Love Is Like A River,
A Never Ending Flow,
A Flow That Runs Far And Wide.
A Flow That Runs To The Arms Of The Sea.
A Sea Of Love That Is Never Ending.
Deeper Than Any Man Could Ever Go.
Wider Than One Can See.
For If You Were To Travel Along The Shores Of My Love,
It Would Be A Never Ending Trip Which There Is No End.
Like A Child With Open Arms,
Always Wanting More.
A Kiss......
A Hug..........................
From The Sea Of Love............

Shhh, listen
Can you hear that?
The slow humming of nothing
- as time stands still
Here and now
In this space for only a second
My past is dead
And I move to devour the future
Changing and adapting
To my new space
That is here not long enough to notice
- my life's unrecorded, you'll never see me
There's a place I go
For my comfort
It's open to all
- but few go there
It is free from walls
Laws, rules and restriction
They are unheard of
- all speak free
Peace and harmony
Are the sweet words
To the songs there
- we want for nothing
Come and join us
You too can feel it
The tranquillity of it flows
- touching all who enter
You can't fail to like it
And everything within
All your doubts, and problems
Lose grip in your memory
It is my home
A place to call my own
I feel comfortable only there
Hmm
- if only it existed
