PIE

Pie is sweet,
Pie is neat,
Pie is a wonderful thing to eat.
Cheery, pumpkin, apple pie,
It is tasty, MY, OH, MY.
Some people bake it, buy it, fry it,
Then they eat it,
What a diet.
Pie is such a wonderful thing,
I wish I were a pie king.

" It's funny how hello is always
accompanied with goodbye,
It's funny how good memories
can start to make you cry,
It's funny how forever
never seems to last,
It's funny how much you'd lose if you
forgot about your past,
It's funny how much "friends" can just
leave you when your down,
It's funny when you need someone
they're never around,
It's funny how people change and
think they're so much better,
It's funny how many lies can be packed
into one "love letter"
It's funny how people forgive
even though they can't forget,
it's funny how one night
can contain so much regret,
it's funny how ironic life turns out to be,
but the funniest part of all
is that none of that's funny to me"

The Division of the hours

"The Day is words and rage.
The Day is order, earth and gold.
It is the philosophers in their in their cities;
It is the map-makers in their wastelands.
It is roads and milestones,
It is panic, laughter and sobriety;
White, and all enumerated things,
It is flesh;it is revenge; it is visibility.

The Night is blue and black.
The Night is silence, poetry and love.
It is the dance in their grove of bones,
It is all transforming things
It is fate, it is freedom.
It is masks and silver and ambiguity,
It is blood; it is forgivness
It is the invisible music of instinct."

~Fasher Demerondo

this poem is epic!


FIRE AND ICE - Robert frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

These are two poems I wrote in September of 2007. They're supposed to go together, so I'll keep them in the same post. They're also free verse poems, so they don't rhyme. I hope you enjoy them anyway. Let me know what you think of them, too, ok? Thanks, bunches. smile


Give Me A Sign
Down the hall
Past all those people,
The ones who separate
Me
From you,
I see your face.
You're talking with friends,
Laughing,
Chatting,
Having a good time.
Then,
As if you can
Sense me
Watching you,
You turn.
Our eyes meet and,
For one fleeting moment,
I hope for a smile,
A wink,
A wave,
Something to show
That you know me,
Want me to come over,
To join you and your friends.
But my hopes
Are all in vain.
You go back to your conversation
As if nothing happened;
Our eyes never met.
No one else notices
The look that we shared,
That's the way you want it,
The way you plan it.
I'm the social outcast,
Even among the outcasts.
Why should you acknowledge
A nobody like me?
I understand
The vast difference
Between us,
But,
I keep on hoping,
Wishing,
Praying that you'll look at me
And keep eye contact.
You'll stare at me
Like I stare at you.

You call me annoying'
A nuisence to your life.
It's never said to me
Directly,
But I have ears
And I hear about the words
That you share
Among your peers.
I know why
You call me these things.
It's because I act
Like a complete
And utter
Fool
Whenever I'm nearyou.
You see,
I try so hard,
When you're around,
To be cool,
Mautre,
Calm and collected,
To be like the people
That surround you,
The people with whom
You spend hours
And hours with.
But, in my
Attempt to be cool,
Mature,
Calm and collected,
I get flustered
And do something foolish.
I'm not the same
As those people
Who follow you.
I don't really
Want to be like them.
It's just,
That's where you are.

I want to be with you,
Spend time with you.
There is so much that
I'm dying to know.
Things like:
When's your birthday?
What's your favorite movie,
Band,
Color,
Food?
What do you do
In your free time
Away from
The mass of people,
The watching eyes,
And constant stares.
Is there anyone
You like?
Do you have
Someone special?
If so,
What's she like?
I wish it were me.
I wish
With all my heart
That I was the one
That caught your eye.

Why don't I have
The courage
That it takes
To cross these
Few
Short
Feet?
Why can't I take
One step
Towards you?
Help me.
Give me a sign,
A reason
To go over to you
And be near you.
Casually give me
That look,
That glance,
That word that says
I can take that step,
That one step,
That will start
Everything.
Please,
Give me a sign,
Just a little one.
But, alas,
No sign will come.
No sign will come.
No sign
Even exists,
Not, at least,
For people like me.
Not for the friendless,
Lifeless,
And lonely people.
So,
I'm standing here,
Staring at you,
Waiting for the sign
That will never come.


That was the first one. Here's the sequal. smile


The First Step
I feel someone watching
No,
Staring at me.
I quickly flick my eyes
Down the hall.
That's when I see you
Staring ever so intently
At me.
Our eyes meet
For one
Brief
Second.
Then I look away,
Not wanting the people,
Who follow me every day,
To see that my eyes wandered;
That I wasn't really
Paying attention
To their lies.
That's all their lives are,
Stories made up
So I'd think that they
Are worthy of my time.
Like I care about things like
Sports,
Money,
Or popularity.
I just was thrown
Into this place,
This possition of power.
I'm not any different
Than the other people.

As the lies continue
To flow out of the mouths
Of these fake friends,
My thoughts go back to
The presence
That oftentimes is there.
I quickly look again
Down the hall
To where you're standing.
You stand there
Staring into space,
Not caring if people see you,
NOt having to be fake,
Free to be who you want.
I've seen you,
I've watched you
When you think I'm not there.
I've seen you laugh,
I've seen you cry.
So many times
I've watched you smile,
Wanted to talk
With you.
Your freedom
Intrigues me.
I find you so
Interesting.
I wonder, though,
Why do you
Feel the need to change
When I'm near you?
I like you when you're you.
Don't try to be like
These fakes,
These leeches that follow me,
Latch on to me,
And suck me dry of life.

There are so many times
When I've wanted
To leave these fakes,
Cross the hall,
And envelope you in a hug.
But I can't.
These people surround me
Like a fence,
A fence designed to keep
Me from you.
They call you annoying,
A nuisance,
In my name!
That's not me!
I would never,
Never,
Say anything like that.
Not to you.
You who always
Look so sad,
So lonely.
Almost like
You're waiting for something.
What are you waiting for?
An invitation?
A sign?
A release from this,
This life,
This existance?
I want to save you,
Save you from life,
From it's troubles,
Fears,
Sorrows,
Whatever is causing you pain.
Please,
Let me save you.
Give me a sign,
A hint,
Something!
Let me see what you need,
What you want.
Give me the look,
The touch,
The word that tells me,
Shows me,
That it's ok for me
To save you.
Let me be there for you.

I would gladly leave
This group of fools
To spend time with you,
But I'm afraid.
No,
I'm terrified!
I don't want to be shunned,
To be refused.
Do you need me?
Do you need a shoulder,
A friend,
Someone to talk to?
YOu're always on your own,
Is that by choice?
Somehow,
I don't think so.
YOur stares,
Always longing,
Reaching,
Grasping for attention,
Tell me what you want,
What you need.
So I'll take that step,
That deciding step,
And hope,
And pray,
That I'm not wrong.
As I take this step,
Step towards me.
Let me know that
I did the right thing,
That it's ok.
I can't do this
By myself
Meet me here.
Meet me at this point
Where both our lives
Will change for better.
Come to me
As I come to you.
I took the first step.
Will you follow?


That's that. Sorry the post is so long. Please, let me know what you think. Thanks again.
