  A Reply To Amber's Letter

  

  By thewriter247, Greencastle, IN

  I must tell you that the smoke in your eyes Does nothing to shield the thoughts swirling behind them. However clear they may be to me Your eyes are also mirrors And I see myself reflected in them When the sunlight is brightest. I have often wanted to ask you If the glint of silver when you lo...

  Party Girl

  

  By thewriter247, Greencastle, IN

  The lights would give me a migraine if I wasn’t used to them. They blink their neon eyes at me In time to the music Which pounds into the sides of my head Still, I’m too numb to it by now And I feel nothing at all. The crowd would give me claustrophobia if I wasn’t used to it. So many p...

  A Letter From Amber

  

  By thewriter247, Greencastle, IN

  These lines you speak of Are invisible to me. I can’t see where I should begin And you should end - Maybe because we shouldn't. If there was a line between us And you hadn't caught me with hands that aren't there Who would you hold onto? And who would I fall back on? Your ...

  Remember Us

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  Think of us as a people of sand Remember our thirst And help us forget it This is our new home. Think of us as a drowning child Recall our fear And help us release it We must breathe. Think of us as a fallen soldier Remember our youth And help us embrace it It is all the life we had. Thi...

  Bully

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  I know you. You may not care for me, and I don't care much for you, But I know you. Jealousy is your seed And envy is your color And hate is your signature. Maybe you don't have a good home life Maybe you don't get enough attention there Or maybe you're just plain old mea...

  To Brother

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  I remember the days when We ran through the woods And you taught me how to vault across the stream And we picked those fragrant flowers That I put in my hair. The woods where we ran probably Isn't all that big Not like the other ones we've lived by But in my memory It was endless ...

  Set Foot Upon The Sea

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  They said to wait They told me, Stay I need to wait Until that day. They said to sit They told me, Rest Those with patience Will be blessed. The water still, The sky so grey But yet I wait And yet I pray, Till angels come And beckon me And I set foot Upon the sea....

  Too Soon

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  We were both on the cliff edge You had slipped over it and I pulled you up We thought it was okay now So I pulled away But the cliff edge wasn't as sturdy as you thought And when it fell You went with it Sometimes I blame you for it all Even though it wasn't your fault Sometimes...

  The Sky Was Falling

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  The sky was falling Crashing around me in shards The pieces shone in the sunlight Winking at me Mocking me Then the sun grew dark Covered in inky clouds that Rippled across the empty sky-space Laughing at me Raining on me It was so cold and bleak I tried to put the sky back together But ...

  How The Flower Grew

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  Oh beautiful flower, Tell me how you grew! I drank the rain, though it beat down on me And reached for the sky, though it was too far away And I always let my best colors show Even if nobody was watching....

  Limit

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  The sky is the limit... And how far it goes! The mountains can't pierce it And technology can't harness it And man can't touch it... And yet our hearts reach for it. The sky is the limit... But there are still mountains to be climbed And men to climb them And so many other ...

  The Rain Came Falling Down

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  When the rain comes falling down, She said, I think of many tears. Of joy And pain And grief All from many eyes So many you could fill an ocean But these tears are quickly wiped away, And dry upon their hands. When the rain comes falling down, He said, I think of calm and peace. Cool ...

  Two Heartbeats

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  Two heartbeats beside each other So warm, so hopeful They keep in time, a steady beat Until the day one starts to slow. The other speeds up in fear As its partner weakens And finally Stops. One heartbeat all alone So cold, so empty It keeps an unsteady rythym Until the day it finds a new ...

  I Heard Love

  

  By thewriter247, Poland, IN

  That night, It was so dark I could breathe it And feel it And hear it It was like breathing liquid sorrow Or grasping a broken heart And it sounded like loneliness, The deepest isolation Like being in the darkest part of the ocean Nothing but water, nothing but b...
