Yeah, I'm temping as a receptionist and I'm bored...forgive me if you can't really follow this...I was interrupted by everyone and everything around me.

Wilting Flowers

I sit here in my own little world

Wondering if people see things

That only others think are real.

The lights shinning off the glass

The radio playing it's magic

And the laughter out of the offices around me.

I wait with baited breath

For the next ring

For the chance to say "Good afternoon..."

I hope that there is more to life

Then these things around me

For if not, it is sad

The hum of the city

Moving as fast as it can

With people who have ceased to care

I glance around, my eyes finally open

To see the world as if for the first time

A world of wilting flowers.

Reality? Simple, it's something to make us think about who we are, what our values are and if we are strong enough to uphold our believes in a world that doesn't make time for beliefs or values.

Erm...I just confused myself...I hope that someone else kinda understands what I was trying to say...

*thinks she needs to cut back on the coffee...it's muddling things in her head*

Like Gyr, this poem reminds me something, infact, it's the movie Dracula 2000.

In it Dracula is actually Judas, hence the hatred of silver. His curse, to live forever for betraying the life of his god...

I like the poem, a lot of imagery, well written. And enjoyable read.

hmm...do the elves come in the night and finish other things too? I've got this half painted picture....

Well done, I enjoyed all of the poems.

Hmm...it's been awhile since I've written something, but what the heck...let's see if I still remember how.

The Game

People ask what we do

and all they get as a reply

is The Game.

They ask us what is it

all we do is smile and say

The Game

But for those that need

a more indepth explanation

here is The Game

Its the touch of a hand

The tilt of the lips

The look in the eyes

The sound of a voice

Its the anticipation of the next meeting

The dreams that haunt you at night

The sorrow that you feel when it all ends

If we had to give a name

To this Game that we play

It would be love.

hmm...not very good, but wanted to put it down.

you ask me where things went wrong

and all I do is smile

there is nothing that you could have done

it's been like this for awhile

one gets tired of constant pain

and they decide to move on

I guess it's just my time has come

even though it took awhile.

a new joy has entered my life

and my heart leaps in bounds

cause when I am with him

time fades for just awhile

though distance seperates him and I

his words and laughter let me know

that his heart holds me dear

even if for just awhile

but my friends tell me in joy

that this one is true

and that the time I think is short

will last forever, and not for just awhile.

I hear what you're saying,

I know what you mean.

Sometimes things aren't

as simple as they seem.

But in the end

the choice is made

and things can only get better.

I'm adding this to my collection.

At times

it seems as though I'm dreaming

that this endless hell will go away

upon the dawning of the morn.

But then

I realise that this is not a dream

that I am living in this hell

this world of hate and lies.

I love you

three simple words said to please

but the meaning behind them escape

when you're in another women's arms.

Marry me

a question asked in hope

all your dreams presented in one moment

that I have no choice but to crush.

My child

it was lost in a moment of disbelief

the little life you loved so much

and I cannot take away your pain.

Papa,

a man of great wisdom and courage

always there to offer you love

waiting for you at the final judgement.

The sirens

that played when that car sped away

you lying broken on the pavement

a prayer on your lips.

5 different people

5 different hells

all pressed on me

to help.

Who will help me overcome my hell?

I drive that winding trail

the night music singing to me

telling me not to go there

that this is not what is right.

But I continue on,

regardless of what the stars are saying

the moon watching me

sadness in his eyes.

The road turns and twists

like the thoughts in my head

what will happen?

who will care?

Then I see my destination

and I slow my car to a stop

getting out and walking along

the night music getting louder.

You know what will happen

it says to me

and you know who will care

it reminds me.

Yet I keep on going

not heeding what it says

and the stars dim their twinkling lights

the moon hides in sadness.

As I take the final step

the wind rushing through my hair,

the water singing it's greeting to me

I finally realise that I'm not ready for...

The End

hey, what happened to Mayo?? Mayo is a fine fighter, I mean, you can't leave out the Mighty Mayo! LoL. Well done, I enjoyed it greatly.

awww, thanks guys

A sigh

and a gentle tear

that's all that's left

my sad heart fears.

A smile

and a soft caresse

as you see me

in that sinful dress.

A kiss

and a whispered plea

as we dance

where you hold me.

A dream

when you asked me

to be with you

and love was all I could see.

A laugh

and I quickly left work

to return to you

where I stood and my heart broke.

A vision

one never wants to see

you with another person

other then me.

A sigh....

and that's all that's left....

I look in the mirror

and don't recognize my own face

the pain and despair of the past year

have taken their toll.

I'm tired all the time

my eyes no longer sparkle

my face has lost all colour

and my hair is dull and lifeless.

I don't know how to continue on

I hear all the troubles of the world

and those of my friends

and I take them into myself.

But then something happens

and I smile.

Then those around me start

to smile as well.

Sunshine is what they say

and what they call me

so my job has now become

to fill others with Sunshine.

But sometimes I find it so hard

to be the Sunshine for others

when all I feel is pain

and no light at all.

Sunshine is what I must be

so I hide who I am

and what I feel

to be the Sunshine to you.

Smile, and make it worthwhile.

Have you ever had one of those days

When things go right for oh so long

Then just out of the blue the go wrong?

Have you ever had one of those days

When you feel like you own the world

And then you find out that you're merly 1 in a billion.

Have you ever had one of those days

When the person you love looks at you

And you think you see love back, to realise that it was only the light reflecting.

Have you ever had one of those days

That you wish would just end

Yet it goes on forever?

Today is one of those days...and I can't stop it.

*shivers and wipes away a tear*

I sit across from you

and listen to you talk about her

what you had together

and what you hope will be again.

I sit across from you

and try to tell you what you should do

what might get her back

in your life again.

I sit across from you

hiding what I truly feel

for I don't want to risk

hurting you more then she has.

I sit across from you

as you pour your heart out

unable to say forget her

she isn't what you need.

I sit across from you

smoking my cigarettes

and drinking my coffee

trying not to cry.

I sit across from you

and help you plan on how to get her back

the whole time hiding

that I love you.

well written...I got goosebumps.

all this freestylin' is reminding me of highschool Hehehe...the only white girl at a table full of thugs, beating them at their own game Hehehe...fun times. Well done guys. Edited by: Annael at: 3/18/02 4:37:25 pm

sorry...yeah, even more from me. I guess I was hit with inspiration, not all of it good sorry, but what better way then to write it down and get feedback on it?

In a land not so far away

Yet way out of reach

There is a simple child

With a simple life

In a not so simple world.

The simple child

With a simple life

Plays with simple friends

In the simple streets

With simple sticks and stones

In a land not so far away

Yet way out of reach

There is a simple child

with a simple life

In a not so simple world

The simple child

Plays with grown-up children

In their grown-up streets

With their grown-up guns

In a land not so far away

For every simple child born

Five simple children die

In a land not so far away

No one is to blame for these deaths

But us

In a land not so far away

Yet way out of reach

That simple child

With the simple life

In a not so simple world

Is you.

No matter where I go

I can still see your face

I would apologise

But no difference it would make

No more pain you will bring

Yet your laugh has been silenced

Will you ever be able

To forgive me?

I feel no guilt for what I did

Nor will I ever

Except when I miss

Your touch

Why didn't you listen

When I told you to stop

It would not have come down

To this End.

But worst of all

It was me

Who pulled

The Trigger.

You gave yourself

To me unconditionally

Love and hate

Came hand and hand

You lied

You lied

You lied

Forever After

It hit so hard

And cut so deep

I thought I'd bleed

To death

You laughed

You laughed

You laughed

Forever After

Now I'm back

Where you can see me

Like what you see?

Miss me yet?

You lied

You laughed

Now I'm the one laughing

Forever After

We walk the narrow path

In hope to see true glory

Yet we know the dream won't last

Cause it's the same damn old story

Live it up

Live it down

Beat it up

Beat it Back

Cause we don't care

We don't care

This world is so dark

The story so full of glume

The death is so freakin' stark

Can't help but feel the doom

Live it up

Live it down

Beat it up

Beat it back

Cause we don't care

We don't care

I'm Tired

of all the games that are played

of the abuse my heart takes

of never knowing what is real

of never being loved for me

I'm Tired

of the ridicule

of the constant bickering

of being made to feel useless

of the feeling that there's nothing left

I'm Tired

of never knowing what people want of me

of the constant expections never explained

of the despair that fills me

of the feeling of being trapped

I'm Tired

of being me

*flutters her wings and floats down gently to the earth and clears her throat*

I know I havent' been around much, but I'm trying to polish this darn tarnished halo! *sigh* nothing is working though...I don't mind the black wings too much, but the tarnished halo, this I can't live with!

*yawns, brings her wings forward to cover herself, and lays down on the bed of black feathers*

someone wake me if they know how to make my halo bright and shiny again....

        “My dear, I really must insist that you see the man. I don’t know what good it will do since you’ve taken the vow of silence, but he says that he will not leave until he talks to you. Don’t worry, I’m sure that no harm will come to you.”

        Little did the Mother Superior know that the meeting between the young novice and the warrior would change all of their lives. This is the story about a girl who loses her identity because of her warrior father and gains it back by her warrior lover. But before the story begins, I must introduce myself. My name is Silence. I am a cat. Not your average everyday house cat, or one that you would find on a farm, but a panther, mountain lion, puma, panther. No matter what you call me, I am an unusual animal to be found in the company of humans. I guess the story begins with how I met my young nun, or I should say, how I saved her.

        You see, one day I was calmly hunting for my dinner. In fact, I had a nice plump little rabbit right in my sights, ready to be pounced on when I heard a frightened cry. Well, being the helpful kitty that I am, I decided to see what was happening.

        When I entered a nearby clearing, a saw a young lady being stalked by a different kind of hunter. A man to be exact. Now, let me tell you about my little nun. She is the most unusual female that I have ever seen, and trust me, I’ve seen a few. She has waist length black hair. But it isn’t exactly black, it’s more of a blue color. Well, her hair almost matches my coat. Almost. And her eyes! They’re gold…just like mine! If I didn’t know better, I’d say that she was a changeling. Very beautiful in a panther, but even more effective in a human. Anyways, as I was saying, a man was approaching her and lets just say that he wasn’t intending on dancing. So, as my little nun cried out for help again, I decided to show myself. Hehehe...I can still see the way that stupid human male yelled like a little girl and ran away when he saw me. Well, by this time my little nun was on the ground crying. So, I walked over and licked her, just like little kitty’s are supposed to do. When she looked up, her golden eyes met mine and we bonded. It’s as simple as that. I’ve been with her ever since.
