Bone of my heart

Last night I dreamt of your cheek
agaist my own
The heat seared me to the bone
of my heart.

It's metaphor?

*shoots self*

A sign I need more sleep:

Weird stares and glances are thrown,
Laughing at this driver lone.
I've no idea what could be wrong.
Haven't been on this road for very long.

Some just pass me by, some slow down.
Many cast a disproving frown.
I know not what they don't like.
This sort of thing's like riding a bike.

I'm just cruising along in a one wheeled go-cart:
no direction, no perfection, But hey, it's a start.
Just riding along, in my one wheeled go-cart.
Why can't anyone else appreciate this great art?

Now the cops are flashing their lights.
It's like they're looking for some fights.
Why bother this lonely old fart
Who's driving along in a beat up cart?



More when I get sleep deprived again.

Some poems written several years ago

The ancient sandcastles

The ancient sandcastles of the sea
are not as gone as man may think.
The sea saw their beauty
and moved them from the realms of men
to a place we can not see.




Dolphins: minds of the past

Ancient minds of the water
they glide through the sea with ease
they place and danse wherever they please
at peace in their oceanic sanctuary.

well...this is one of the poems i wrote for my girlfriend...i know its not that good...but its the thought that counts right? o well...she says theyre good...but i want to hear a non-biased opinion...so please give me your opinion on my poem!!!


Second Best
By: Jacob Jackson

For all of my life,
for 16 years
the fighting and strife
the hopes and the fears

have been not good enough
for those above me
the pain that i feel
makes me want to see

if i could fly
off a building so high
just to test my wings
and see if they're right

i might be useless
i think i might leave
but there's no feeling
that i cant believe

no matter how i try
no matter the race
no matter how i run
I'm always in second place

i try to be like
all of the rest
but all i amount to
is just second best

always one step behind
always one inch from first
I'm never the one
just the best of the worst

but light at the end
of the tunnel i see
somebody different
someone for me

the way she looks at me
with a twinkle in her eye
almost makes me want to
break down and cry

because i will always know
that no matter what
I'm first in her heart
and her number one butt (inside joke, dont ask)

so goodbye second place
goodbye number one
Ive found something better
my races has just begun

your race has no meaning
only one thing does now
a pretty young girl
with a quivering brow

the feelings i get
when she's in my arms
ill never be able to resist
her romantic charms

her eyes, her lips
her teeth, and her hair
when i look at her
its like no one else is there

the world disappears
and it all goes away
the pain i feel
is gone for that day

so no matter what happens
how first place can cheat
ill be first in her heart
and that makes me complete...

So good I won't grammar nazi it, and call it poetic liscence.
