I am in a mood tonight....so I picked this one out of my personal vault back when I was in high school. Let me know what you think:

Hands that Turn

The hours passed
time swallowed into dust
affliction of the mind
reluctant nights air inspired by your stars...

altered sould aligned near to you
enticing love is near to us

such remote thoughts abandoned

relinquished gypsies
taken by the fog of melancholy
why do the hands turn?

PASSIVE INTERLUDES

my endurance is coming to it's end
reckless arousal
intentional tears of yourself
mellow pain for the deceased
seclusion from a stranger
because it just causes the evils.

  • Agonizing pain enters through your threshold
    filled with my impartial thoughts
    between the empathic haze
    faces of animosity appear
    seperated from all others
    this glossy eyed pain
    I feel for you what you had felt for me
    enchanting winds bring forth reality
    This distance I have felt belongs to you
    not even the most kindred of spirits could elevate
    you from this vast hole you have made for yourself...

    The intoxicating vapors begin to speak to you
    This hole knows what you thought secret
    such an illusion you have built
    Abundant lies invade your soul
    yet, you are so unaware of what you have begun.

  • I am sure everyone has had that one true love that they thought was real. These are other ones that I wrote "back in the day" but this week is pretty shitty for me, so I feel like expressing myself.

    Angel

    Elevate me from this vast hole I have fallen
    Save me angel for I am calling
    I cannot lift myself above
    for I have lost, and I lack love
    silent whispers as I moan, I cannot face this world alone.
    Save me angel from this night, I can no longer put up a fight.

    Eternal
    You speak of me
    but you do not realize the power of my love runs deeper than the soul
    Why do you play these games?
    Simple tease
    Tantilizes every hair upon my body
    you send chills down my spine
    I want yours to be mine
    Lushious pain
    I understand you think of me
    but you withdrawl from it all
    How can I say I love you, I do
    my flesh yearns for your clever touch
    heaven only knows I'd miss you this much
    my blood flows only for you
    if only I know how to take control
    ease your mind
    release your concern
    because for you my eternal flame will burn
    forever burning for you...

  • Irony
    In the back of my mind, he is always there
    for some reason I just couldn't forget him
    I could feel him in my heart, he wasn't far way
    I wanted him closer
    so I went to find what I was looking for,
    replaying in my mind what I would say...and I found him (destiny)
    there was something felt that could not be explained
    no one will ever really understand,
    but I had always known what I wanted, and it was him
    We played it off for awhile, but nothing could hold us back
    true meanings had been exposed
    we talked about the simple things, but it was deeper than that
    he never regretted what happened before
    after all of his wrong doings I wanted him more
    his words rolled off his tongue with such ease, sly and simple
    I know how it really was and I showed him
    he knew too and fell under the spell
    just to touch him felt so good
    he didn't want to say goodbye, but if he had to it was going to be good
    he leaned against the car and gave me a kiss that will have me begging for more...
    It's been so long, but I still do love him.

  • Lies

    Your abundant lies,
    your putrid heart
    how could you let us fall apart?
    I looked into your eyes to see what I had thought was reality
    I knew it was hard, I felt your fear,
    but all I wanted was to hold you near
    I gave you all that I could give
    now was our time, time to live
    but you went along another path
    slowly clutched me within your wrath
    enchanted by a feeling that seemed so real (but it was fake)
    along with it my heart did break.

    NOTE: I have always hated these last two lines...cheesy, but whatever.

  • Threesome
    She can't explain the hurt, the words, the anger
    She feels like a fool, in love...
    No matter what she says they come out all wrong
    Innocent obsession,yet she can't let go
    Every time she sees him she secretly wants him more
    He reads her thoughts, knows every one of them...
    He just smiles, unknowing she glares over and tries to do the same...
    it doesn't work. She is frustrated but in a good way
    This mysteriousness about him intimidates her...
    Then she thinks of the other one...
    the one that comes inbetween and makes everything stop
    Anger overwelms her
    Deep inside her thoughts are uncertain
    The tears she holds inside burn, like the flame she imagines between him and her.
    She doesn't realize that the other one is confused too....she is not the demon that she thinks she is.

    The thing that is so ironic is that none of them understand.

    That is just the way love is...complicated...deep...hard to explain, but when it happens you know that it is there.

  • This one is a little dark.....

    No More
    False accusations
    pain & frustrations

    glorified tears
    heartfelt fears

    slipping away, gasping for breath
    one step closer, closer to death

    with aggression and sorrow,
    we wait for tomorrow

    fading memories are all I have left...

    I try to show you, you push me away
    things go bad, I still say OK?

  • Open
    Drive me, drain me, consume me
    push me, pull me
    Hold me, love me, show me
    There is hope, a tiny flame
    within still burns
    despite the tears and desolate fears
    learn to let go and I will too, all I want is to be with you
    you've shown me more than I could see
    why can't you just believe in me
    I see behind those empty stares
    something inside that truly cares
    so fragile I feel anymore
    frail and easy to break
    don't know how much more that I can take
    I'm not shutting you out, I'm taking you in
    you've touched me somewhere deep within
    Strong emotions, good and bad
    I miss those special times we had
    those times that you could make me smile
    these things that make it seem worth while
    the more you open up the more I understand
    somethings are not that easy to see
    but it makes much more sense when you explain to me
    you used to say I'm not the same
    I do not give you all the blame...
    I know I've been wrong, yet you are right
    anymore all we do is fight
    all I ask is not tonight
    please no more..
    I'll give you what you're asking for.

  • This was from 1996...

    Trapped
    Trapped inside -
    knowing what was done was wrong
    Nothing could take it back
    never again, all trust in me fails-
    I tried but I guess I didn't try hard enough
    what I did was wrong
    never again, last words spoken,
    but are they really meant?
    Confusion overwelms my head....
    what is happening
    what is happening to me?
    I want to leave, leave those thoughts behind
    but I am so trapped inside
    I see the walls but there is no door
    what the hell am I searching for?
    Some things you just can't forget
    I understand what I did was wrong-
    Take it back, take it back, take it away from me.
    Take it all away---

  • Hey, jammergurl! :) I enjoyed your poetry and I like that you use one or two word titles. I think my favorite is "Eternal" followed closely by "Threesome" and "No More" (like the rhymes in that one! :) ). And regarding your comment in MeddleDeal's thread: Sometimes people just shy away from these big threads so, maybe if you just post each poem, individually, you may find you get some more responses. :)
