You Had Every Reason To Leave
why did you stay just from my words and the magic ones i love you
why did you love me too
what did i do?
why would you be willing to stand by me throuhg pain
and the possibility that my life could wain
all the way to death so fast
you still stayed with me till the last
for this i thank you... you the first to stay
finally i feel there is hope this day~!
this day i say
ok! there is hope i can do this with My God and with her ok!
thank you for the hope
changing my perspecitve life and scope
I love you thanks again

Talking
I have to wonder day by day
as we talk as i say
hello and play the game of causerie
if you'd even talk to me
if i didn't talk to you
if I'm only visible because i engage
would you talk to me too?
am i back in the glass cage?
would you tell me how you feel
if i did not ask
what if i put on a mask
of silence, what if i stopped saying hi
would you let me walk away
would let me fade
even with this friendless we've made
would you talk to me if i didn't start to talk to you
i hope you would, i hope you would start it too

The Chronicles of A Criss Crossed and Broken Heart part 4 Poem after Poem
some written as medicine
some poems inveigh about consequence of sin
some don't rhyme
some i just don't have time
others negelected, just left to waste
away, like butter spread over too much bread making strange paste
i just write and write
to keep feelings to let them out without explosion
i just have to fight
myself, write myself all on a paper, hear implosion
going, going, coming to an end slow motion
not enough life to pass by
by through my eyes too much life withheld
i hope i havent begun to die
not yet not here...

Over
one over the horizion
one over the ridge take a look a long good look
just look and see a smidge
of trouble just ahead over head just before you took
that step you noticed that
you would fall right after a short chat
how would i know it would lead
here to this abhorred place that is out to feed
the darkness that blankets me
it may try and i may give up willingly
but not today
not today i say
not this day
over the ridge but one storm but one time to fall
once to lose it all
just dont take that step
for kids like me are inept...

The Power Of Terza Rima
I am one who has known sorrow
It's become more of an identity than a burden
Like being filled with despair with no direction to go
I don't know when
This came to be
I've forgotten
Because now this is me
And I'm overtaken by this dark, this night
Overtaken by a darkness in which I cannot see
But also by a darkness I can feel, creeping up, inspiring fright
But I see it's all connected, weaved together in a way
What use is my intelligence, my reason, my sight?
My world is now the reason I inveigh
My world is a place that is sad and fey

Poem Propogated By Name And Song
matter it does not and ah i see
that you just like me
serj tanikan as well
since you have his song about have we fell
but it matters not where i am from
simply who i am and maybe if im any fun
simply it also might just a little if im know the arts of
causerie...yet not causerie plagued by love
as i teach myself just to me
and to think hopefully!
i write in poems not prose
yet i am not so arachic as to talk in the language of a rose
anyways it is time for you to respond and maybe be confused
by my circumlocutions maybe even amused

Voices (btw I'm not schizophrenic)
Why do you tell me what to say?
why do poison my thoughts and make them so fey?
why am i unable to inveigh?
unable to conquer you
unable to take you captive
how can i continue to live
when you live inside me too
stop trying to ruin my life, i won't give in
you can't make me sin
take the voices away they're in my head
they make me feel dead
i must kill them before they kill me
If only you could see
the things they make me think
i will not sink
deeper into this hole
take the voices away i won't speak
out of malice or in romance
SHUT UP!

I Like Saying Hmmm
gives me some time to think
gives me a moment before turning pink
i make my sounds to distract when im nervous when i want to act
so either just to mess with you... this is my pact
when i make a sound you can just guess uh ok?
you better say
ok this very day
hmmmmmmm erm uh huh? why is this?
cuz i said so
its time you go
hmmmmm uh erm uh huh dont ask me whats your problem man?
because my problem is not yours but mine hows that dan
actually i dont know many people named dan... its gotta rhyme
at least this time
hmmm erm uh huh.... deal with it

Humiliation
Such things happen through the web of conundrums
in life... there is scum
that scums up your life, this is hard to deny
when was it a dream when was it real?
which was fantasy
which was reality
how can one tell?
just when he fell
its really quite hard you see
especially for someone like me
with my dream worlds and frayed consciousness
i must confess
my conditions would probably land me in an asylum
as i hum
to the tune of debacle and suffering
maybe one day it will end and i will sing
but today i blink and this is mortification is totally real =/

The Chornicles of a Dark Heart Part 3 My Forced Apathetic love
I try and not care, but its hard not to be close...
your empathy
doesn't cancel my apathy
because you know what i don't care...
This kind of love I've never known but it my heart wont last
i won't make it through even if i redo this event in the past
your stars they left long ago
now without your song my joy has turned to woe
I just want to let my feelings out!
if there are any left, this possibility i doubt
come back stars i need you
but you keep me guessing, i don't know if you need me too
with my apathy even when asked about myself i stutter who?
