Dream It All Away
She's holding on by a string
dangling inside the hourglass
She'll never know
the pain we're in
She's the one we love
whom we want to stay
she'll never know
how long we were there
She'll never know
I prayed for her
from the chair beside her bed
...last night
=========================
Regards,
Nuker

Nuker... the simplicity of the poem is amazing and the emotional meaning is powerful. Excellant job yet again.

Ask and ye shall receive.
Mondays Were Made For The Brave, But Thursdays Were Made For Sleeping
They tell me I'm not good enough
with their eyes (so silent I hear them in my dreams)
Can't let it show
They musn't know
I'm breaking on this inside (I lay broken in the street)
I've come this far
just to turn around
Failure was my daily prayer
now this void has filled my head
no room for feelings
Run away, run away
Dance the night asleep
Travel far and wide
and never leave your favorite chair
Sing me all the way to Neverland
I'll find a Cloud to lay my head, don't worry for me
If I fall, at least I'll be dreaming
and just as confused as ever
"The last time I saw her, she was standing above me, watching me fall from the grace I never deserved. I miss the tyme I spent in her arms, so warm, yet so frail."

I know it's a double post, but I needed to write this:
Not Like This
It's just another day
Take a trip
Walk the line
Fall in perfect time
This time won't be the last
This time won't be my first
I've fallen for a curse (that's sure to be the death of me)
My heart aches
and my heart breaks
but you don't see me
crying in the window (the shadows, they comfort me)
No I can't bare
to see the world
and know that they might see
what's up my sleeve
Hold me close
Hold me tight
Refill the space within
Give me the life I never had
I never wanted this.......
But it's just another day
with one more heart ache
one more broken dream
Every face I see
walking here
walking there
They all look the same
Hold me close
Hold me tight
Refill the space within
Give me life
Give me breath
Take me to a place I've never been
Because it's just another day...
Just another heart ache......
One more broken dream....
They all look the same...
'Cuz I never wanted this.......
To end............

Written for my Grandfather, who's riding that big train in the sky
Requiem
No life within
No life without
Linen sheets can't hide the truth
Listless shape trapped beneath
Sullen faces dancing in the sunlight
The temporary is forever
Knowing you live the good life
Knowing I've failed to touch you
Now someone else is mourning
Someone else is grieving
Sign your life away
Bury your loved one in paper
It's a necessary evil
that we're not born to take
Take this life from me
Shards of glass echo on the floor
A new beginning
for an old friend
Robes of white have never felt so good
Goodbye old friend
Walk this path 'til you reach the end
I'll be there soon
R.I.P. Charles E. Bass (1920-2007)

One...
Is to think
Is to be
Is to have
Just a thought
an inkling
a momentary glimpse
into being whole
But being without...
Life worth living
such a fabled tale
Push it all away
and sit in
solitude
Isn't one
something we're
all supposed to be
...floating
in cloudy murky water
bath water
drawn for
..........ONE

To give individual work some more exposure and to prevent all work from getting piled up in one big topic, I'm closing this. Please leave any complaints at the reception, thank you.
