G.L.B.T.
Hate the action, not the person
G.L.B.T.
Whatever you are
I don't hate you
I hate what you do
You aren't a plague to be avoided
Not an object to be extorted
I just want you
In all your simplicity
To be with me
In my eternity
We love you all
And want you with us
No more hatred
No more bias
Just you and me
In heaven's glory
Let happiness be
The end to your story
No more hatred
No more dread
No more hearing
"Oh, your friend's dead."
There's none of that
On the other side
There's no need
For suicide
Just peace and love
For all who come
So, please, won't you?
Won't you come?

My Eyes See Empty
My eyes see empty
There's nothing
It's void
There's no emotion left
When repetition wears it out
My eyes see empty
But why choose empty?
Because it's "easier"?
You are a fool
My eyes see fools
Emptiness is their bread
Void is their drink
They feed on nothingness
Yet wonder why they hunger
My eyes see hope
Even ones such as these
Can still see a faint light
If only they would
Open their eyes

You write good poetry so I say keep it up but perhaps you could use a little punctuation, it may add a little bit of clarity to what the rhythm is. But other than that your poetry has much meaning which is good to see.

Meh, who uses punctuation anymore? xd Some of my poems use it, but, most of the time, I find it an inconvenience when writing them. And, really, in the end, isn't the reader's deliberations from my poetry more important than the rhythm in which they read it? mrgreen To be honest, I'm not sure I could convey the right rhythm even with punctuation... sweatdrop Some of my poems are tricky like that... ninja

Perhaps but sometimes the way that a poem is written can detiremine the way the reader interprets it. Oops, spelt detiremine wrong, I can never spell it so oh well...hmm okey dokey I am going to go write more in my book.

Chains
I looked in the mirror and saw a new way.
But as soon as I ventured down that way,
I discovered that it was an old path.
Nothing is ever new in this mirror of mine.
Nothing ever changes.
Is it really possible to break a chain?
Link after link-ever flowing, ever continuity.
I am told that the chain can only take so much stress.
That it will eventually break with enough force.
But I am left to wonder:
Is it really possible to break a chain?
In a flash of hope, I see a link give slightly.
I hope. I pray.
Please, be the first of many to break.
The chain won't give.
I am left to wonder:
Is it really possible to break a chain?

Arachnid's Snare
My, how she dances.
My, how she sways-
The mistress in my head.
Oh, how she tempts me.
Oh, how she plays
On my most animal instincts.
She dances alone-
All on her own,
For it is not I
Who urges her on.
Less of a woman
And more of a virus
This entity has become.
She sways on and on
And begs me to draw near
Thought I dare not.
She continues her dance-
That most wretched dance.
Oh, how I loathe that dance.
Less of a show
And more of a lure
Her dance becomes my trance.
I'm invited in with pretty things
Only to leave with sour feelings.
Oh, how I seethe when
I finally realize the ruse.
A beautiful lie with which to ensnare.
The arachnid's web shows
No mercy for the captive.
My mistress-the Spider Queen-
Has tricked me again and again.
Each time I fall victim
I leave a piece of myself behind.
So I wonder, "If only...
If only, if ever,
If ever I can restore
My dissected soul..."

Walk of a Lifetime
[Verse 1]
I remember a time
Not so long ago
When I took a walk
Down life’s bumpy road.
It was a walk to forget
All the troubles of today
But there is a man
Who had a plan that day.
[Chorus]
It was the walk of a lifetime.
It was the walk of The Way.
It was the perfect time
For me to stop and pray
Dear Father up in heaven
Your will this day.
I’m bowing here now
For you to show me the way.
And I pray you will guide me
Be always beside me
Because Father I love you.
Please show me the way.
[Verse 2]
As I finished my prayer
And began to stand
I had to wipe my tears
With the back of my hand.
I realized right then
How good God had been.
It didn’t seem like enough
But I thanked him again and again.
Then I ran straight home
To tell my wife what happened.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
About the time that I finished
My wife began to cry
And it broke my heart to see.
She said, “Honey, Honey,
I’ve been praying for you
And I think God just
Answered my prayer.”
[Chorus]

Hide and Seek
It was a Sunday at church, like most that I'd seen.
I sat in my pew and listened to the preacher.
I can't remember now the words that were said,
But I do recall a distinct feeling.
As the sermon wrapped up and they gave altar call,
I clung to the pew as tight as I could.
Sure enough, my methods had worked,
And I passed God up once again.
[Chorus]
I was playing hide and seek with the Lord Jesus Christ.
But I was hoping he would find me all along.
It made me so happy, so greatly relieved
When he finally found where I was.
Yes, thank God, he found where I was.
It was true that my plans had worked thus far,
But I soon found that my mom had other plans.
She pulled me aside and I knew that I had tell her.
"Mom, God was calling me today."
[Chorus]
As quick as a flash, I was in front of the altar,
Bowing and praying for forgiveness.
And my momma bowed with me and prayed her own prayer.
Thank God for a momma that cared.
But nothing was important but that key word forgiveness.
I'm so glad God forgave me that day.
[Chorus]
You see, friend, we can hide for as long as we like,
But God just wants to hear one thing:
"Dear Father, I've been hiding for far too long,
and I want you to forgive me today."
[Chorus]

Ice Heart
See my hand
Grip your heart.
Watch your world
Fall apart.
Deadly poison
Imparts your fate.
Laugh and watch it
Disintegrate.
Honest mirrors
Melt away.
If only they could repeat
The words you say.
Feel my hand
Upon your heart?
Bitter taste.
Love is so tart.
Open your mind
To the final score.
Love is innocence.
Love is war.
Bind me now.
Shackle this heart.
Prisoner that
The war begot.
Seek the end
In the icy grip.
Love's a wonder.
Love's a trip.
Unshackle my heart.
Set me free.
Only with you
I long to be.
I'll carve the words
Into my soul
More times than
You will ever know.
Meet your grip
With my own.
I'll break your heart-
This heart of stone!
My hand in yours
I'll melt the ice.
Don't let go.
This feels so right.
Keep it together
I'm still right here
Keep on smiling.
I'm still right here.

How Love Should Be
Walking hand in hand
This is how we want to be, right?
I'm with you.
You're with me.
Is there any better eternity?
Could love really be
As easy as this?
I feel like I could
Light up the sky
With my love for you
If that's alright.
Even winter's cold bite
Couldn't extinguish
The flame in our hearts.
I want you now.
I need you now.
And you feel the same.
Two hearts united
As two become one.
Such beauty in harmony
Has never been seen.
This is how it should be, right?

Shadows & Veils
I can't face the mirror
Because the sins of yesterday
Pile high my disgrace.
What am I if my shadows
Hold more light than I?
Who can the disgraced
Run to when they've
Lost everyone else?
Dispossession.
Like running a knife
Through my still beating heart.
I'd rather die
Than give in to the darkness.
You are what you are in the dark.
Base and vile,
Your agony is mostly deserved.
If only you would
Cast off the veil
That blinds your heart.
But you find more comfort in your pain
Than in the peace that waits for you.
How foolish you are.
Then you shall sleep-
An eternal sleep.
For that is the only peace
I can offer
Such a hopeless man as you.

I knew I saw that screen name somewhere. xd Yeah, I'm the big poetry junkie in my guild. It's sad that other people just post their stuff and leave. I was hoping this place would be used more than just me... neutral

My Picture
Let me paint a picture.
The one that shows this place.
Gaze into my picture.
Pass through time and space.
I'm in this field and all alone.
There's no one here;
I'm all on my own.
The only flower
In this lonely field.
The only one
Still refusing to yield.
To yield to the forces
Of oncoming threats.
No time for remorse.
No time for regret.
I dig in my roots
And hold my petals high.
All I can do
Is gaze at that sky.
That blue, blue sky
Untainted by my surroundings.
That deep, blue sky
Still untainted by the lies.
The lies that haunt the field
Every single day.
Those nasty, little lies
I wish would go away.
Yet here I am
Planted firmly in place.
I'm wishing for someone.
Just a new face.
I wait for a rose
To be planted beside me.
I wait for a rose
That might lead and guide me.
The yin to my yang
The yang to my yin
Whatever the case,
I know we will win.
But I'll wait in this field
For as long as it takes.
My field of old
I long to create.
