James Crow

Theme 74: Are you challenging me

A mountain stood,

alone against the world.

A man climbed,

never looking back.

Never making it to the top,

always falling back down.

Never giving, up.

He knew if he continued,

one day he would reach the top.

Theme 73: I can't

Another step is to far...

Another second is to long...

Another blink is to lonely...

Another memory is to painful...

Another drink is to much...

Another day is to short...

Another dream is to hard...

...to forget,

I just can't.

Theme 72: Mischief managed

In five minutes,

I could hold the

world in my hands.

Talk my sister into joining

my diabolical plans.

And as we go,

to start are evil reign,

you would take our hands.

Saying it will all have to wait,

for another day.

Theme 71: Obsession

Poems

Started as a hobby,

it brought me joy and fun.

People started liking what I wrote,

now I can't stop them.

I think I am starting to choke.

What has happen to the good ones,

I use to write.

They have been swept away,

By all the blood and tears.

They are forced,

no longer from the heart.

What happened to my poems,

where should I start.

Theme 69: Annoyance

Night after night,

coming home to write,

BITES!

But all of the, delight...

makes me know, that this is right.

Theme 68: Hero

No one wears,

a big red S.

No one stalks the night,

dressed like a bat.

There is no good,

to stop all the evil.

Well.....

I think I should give it a start.

I will be there,

when you need to cry.

I'll be there

when you want to laugh.

I will protect you,

carry you,

never let you fall.

Just so you know,

there is a little hero in all.

I ask you to be there,

for me.

Theme 67: 67%

Over half way,

I can see the end.

Though I stumble,

mud covering my face.

The cheer of friends,

motivate my hands.

Lift me up,

one more time,

carry me to the finish line.

Theme 66: Traps

Hidden deep in a room,

a chest lies.

Waiting for the day,

someone is brave enough to peer inside.

But no one knows,

how to doge the many traps on the way.

And somewhere,

someone laughs.

Cause he knows the greatest trap,

is in the game.

Theme 65: Horror

Heart

I hear the beat,

a tiny drum in a jungle of darkness.

It is there,

NO THERE!

Its coming,

coming I say.

It will kill us all,

before the break of day.

Now close your eyes,

it will go away.

Thats...thats what they all say.

I fear they are right,

as I close my eyes for the night,

the beating,

slow, and the breathing is warm...

Theme 64: Multitasking

Juggle

At a circus,

I saw a clown juggling balls.

How do you do that,

I said.

He said the same way I do my life.

Just one ball at a time,

notice what is happening and plan for the next.

As I turn to leave,

I heard a ball drop.

Theme 63: Do Not Disturb

I ask how are you,

you told me not to disturb you.

I asked are you crying.

You told me do not disturb.

I asked do you need me to hug you,

you opened the door and said come in.

I put the do not disturb sign out.

Theme 62: Magic

The sound of a kiss.

The moment of love.

The day you and,

held our child in our arms.

The day we said hello hello.

Everyday I see you,

next to me.

All that magic,

in your smile.

Theme 61: Fairy Tail

You and me,

could be written down in history.

The next Romeo and Juliet.

You are my Helen of Troy.

No matter how we look at it,

we'll end up in the next,

tragedy.

Theme 60: Rejection

I have been told time and time again,

no, no, no, no, no.

I fear that response so, all I seem to hear is,

no, no, no, no, no.

Well I'm done, from now on I'll do my stuff and tell others,

no, no, no, no, NO!

Theme 59: No way out

All the chips are

on the table.

Nothing left to do.

Been called out

one last time,

by a kid thats new.

Guns at our side,

it is another high noon.

As the clock hits twelve,

one man hits the floor.

Theme 58: Kick in the head

Big Surprise

Woke up one bright day,

you said that you felt sick.

I said relax,

some breakfast in bed

will do the trick.

A few months down the road.

Woke up moon high in the sky,

you said that you had a craving.

I said hold on,

I'll find some of

that for you.

A few more months passed.

Woke up hearing you crying,

you tearfully said a baby is coming.

I smiled saying,

Well is that not a big

kick in the head.

A few more months later.

Woke up in a chair of a hospital room,

I said is everything alright.

You gave me a grin and said,

Yes, all because of you.

Now close your eyes

Theme 57: Sacrifice

Time and years

but I would waste

all my tears,

just to hold you,

one more time.

You gave your life,

to show me,

to teach me,

for me.

Letting me know,

someone was watching me,

from above,

waiting to hold me,

waiting to shower me,

with love.

But twas all in vain,

all it did

was show me pain.

Now I feel my heart

all the time.

But one day all will be right,

but as you said,

I will always,

hold you tight.

Theme 56: Danger Ahead

A sign said falling rock.

If you heard the sound

you would run.

Boulders crashing down,

so much foreboding.

No harm in rock and roll.

Theme 55: Waiting

Tock

Sitting for god knows how long,

waiting for you to come over,

Watching the clock,

never moving,

only have I heard the tick.

Maybe my heart no longer is beating,

or the world is some how frozen,

why haven't you come over,

why haven't I gone over.

Why has there been no tock.

Theme 54: Tower

Trailer

Every step I take

another challenge,

another stone to move

another wall collapse.

Evey brick that passes,

makes part of a stack,

making a tower,

that will most likely,

collapse.

Theme 53: Keeping a Secret

Vegetable Garden

Out in the vegetable garden.

you told me that you would love me

love me forever.

But we must keep it our secret.

Though the next day

everyone said

there goes the lovers,

and neither of us told

another soul.

We blamed each other

going our separate ways,

till I remembered an old saying

so to the vegetable garden I ran again.

I shouted,

No matter what you do,

no matter how much you hate me.

I will always love you,

as long as tomorrows follow

yesterdays.

When I left the vegetable garden,

my head hung low.

I saw you smile at me

and said,

I remembered how the saying goes.

Never tell a secret you wish to keep,

in a vegetable garden.

The potatoes have

♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ eyes that see,

The corn has

♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ ears that hear,

And the crows,

♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ can't keep their beaks shut.

I have returned from battleing the forces of evi.......You know what. I was actually procrastinating.

*GASP*

I know, I know. But it boils down to I am, and always have mind you, trying to remain invisible. Although I want to be noticed. Creating what I truely am, not alien, not human, but an oxymoron.

*hee hee*

But enough of my confessions, onward to the poems!

*how many poems*

SILENCE!

♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣

Theme 52: Deep in thought

Lost in my mind,

forgetting my dreams.

Tied up, in too many schemes.

By the time,

I know what to do.

Everything will have passed me by.

Everything,

including you!

That is so cool that you are trying to get a story published. I was just looking at Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine website and thinking of sending in a story.

But unlike others with real reasons not to write,

I have just my laziness and fear of smite.

But I vow to change that tonight,

posting all my poems with delight.

I forgot, I wish you luck with all my might.

And I will wish you all good dight.

Okay, okay. I know that was bad but still. I would wish you luck again Degorram, but you don't need it. You have great talent and they would be fools not to publish it. On another note I also want to start an open RP...

..Weird, isn't it.

Looking into the Mansion, many questions filled my mind.

How did I get here?

Who's Will is going to be read?

And how did they know I would be here?

I needed answers. And the only way to get them was in this building.

With nothing to lose, I went in...

*BOOM*

Hardly noting the door behind me slamming shut, I headed upstairs. Following the faintest of melodies. Entering one of the many dark rooms, the door behind me shut.

Spinning around, I tried to turn the door handle, only to find that there was none. Trapped, trapped like a rat. As I looked at the door a hear a soft voice behind me, whisper in my ear.

"Welcome, stranger."

I'm also ready for whatever, just say what.
