Please ... Don't ...The sun's shining and the sky is clear
and you wish that you weren't here
Anymore, no part of this world, of this life
You're trapped in darkness and the way out
Of it is death, there's no doubt
But the alluring whispers of the sharp knife

When you drive in your car down the road
You dream of your last abode
And your eyes search for a tree to crash into
Every bridge's a chance to jump down
Each river tempts you to drown
In it, you climb high buildings not for the view

How can I make you stay here with me
When you try so hard to flee
From life's pain and the darkness and the sorrow?
Still I'm begging at your feet to stay
Not to

A Sea FightIt followed our way for sev'ral days
Slowly drew closer, hot on our trails
We didn't know 'till Co-Captain Hayes
commanded to strike all of the sails
Then ev'ry crew mate saw who's behind
A ship of the Navy, but it was maligned
Before they could fire, our cannons spoke
With a loud thunder and a pile of smoke

The cannon ball flew and did not miss
Some hit the masts and others the hull
They fired back but a pity was this
Each of their shots in the end was null
Still they didn't heave to and steered the course
We awaited them with drawn weapons of course
They would never board our ship, our home
But end in a grave beneath the sea's foame

The

We kill angelsWe take the kindness for granted when
We think that we deserve it but then
The angel we owe this to falls finally
We wonder aloud and we wonder why
And over the angel we broke we cry
Still we can't see we caused it initially

It's too easy to make angels fall
While wond'ring "Where are the angels all?"
It's so easy to push them over the edge
By demanding and taking it all, yet
We never give, never repay the debt
Tell me, what excuse do we have to allege?

Oh, leeches we are, vampires feeding
On angels' hearts, don't see they're needing
Kind words once in a while, arms to hold them, too
Why do we not tell them they are precious

Her LoveI sense there's something wrong despite
She hides sorrow with smiles so bright
And though I try so very hard
Can't lift the burden from her heart
How can his words induce this pain?

And does he notice the hurt he caused her?
And will he hear the words she cannot say?
I think I ought to tell

How will this end for my dear friend?
How will this sad love one day end?
Although the feelings are in place
Tears keep streaming down her face
Which I try to dry in vain

Oh, will we ever from hurting deter?
Oh, how I pray for joy to come one day
For this love to get well

Where Things Went WrongI think I owe you an apology
For the way I acted towards you.
Ignoring my own advice I failed
To follow the rules I made for me.

I still don't know what's wrong with me,
Neither why I took it out on you.
So here I stand and wonder if
We can go back to how we once were.

"I am sorry for what I did",
These words I can't force out.
Trying to solve a puzzle I can't see
I wonder where things went wrong.
Where things went wrong

Maybe I just wasn't aware of how thin
My usually thick skin had become.
While I went into the swamp of doubts
And depression to help others out.

I've sunken in without noticing
Until it all went so very wro

Head and heartThe simple thought is enough
To encumber me with grief
The bitter tears froze on the cheeks
And can't ease the pain within
The simple truth of loosing you
The simple weight of forever
Weights down the eloquent tongue
And lets me choke on tears uncried

The head knows it's part of life
Yet the heart refuses to accept
While fruitless hope takes roots
Denying the inevitable truth
Another artifact of childhood days
The last object of innocent, implicit love
Is dying too slow while dying too fast.

The head collects and stores memories
Of the laughs and fun we once shared.
Recalls the adventures and the songs
Of bygone days when you still had a go

Frightful MeetingShe ran into the woods alone
Until she reached an ancient stone
A forgotten giant's ashen bone
Overgrown by moss and firs
Where there was the love of hers

But not joy guided her today
Not happiness showed her the way
As rain fell from a sky led gray
Saltwater ran down her face
When she reached their meeting place

Adorned with a ruby red stain
A body awaited her slain
Causing such unbearable pain
Whom she'd given her heart to
Now had his own cut in two

Jelousy, the bitter passion
This cruel scenery did fashion
Where he ended up as ashen
and cold as the stone and sky
Made the loved girl want to die

30. RainIt's this time of year again
When the sky is forever gray
And the muffled light can't tell
If it's already night or still day

It's the time of year again
When the cold rain forever falls
And all the colours of joy
Are taken away by rainy squalls

It's that time of year I hate
When there' s nothing but autumn rain
Tapping on my window and
Making me blue, ev'ry year again

LimericksMintymintamin:
There was once an american lad
Like a pirate he wanted to clad
So he searched for a crew
But if only he knew
How to board a ship, he'd be glad

Leelu:
A seamstress and a part-time witch
Could fix ev'rything with just one stitch
A man came with his cart:
"Show your impossible art!"
To a star his wagon she did hitch.

The American Realist:
A bard who once came to Beirut
Won all women's heart playing his lute
The other men were upset
And with an Opel Cadet
They ensured the bard is now mute

Radiant Intention:
A poet and hard-working writer
Once pulled up another all-nighter
Then sleep knocked him out
With death's help, no doubt.

Duet of Ice Goddess and Fire GodYou're back, my husband filled with fire
Oh, my husband, how I feared this day
My husband with never satisfied desire
Know how much I have longed for today
Though you will kill me with your touch
When we're united at last
You I want and avoid so much
After all those centuries that passed

I have returned, my cold hearted wife
Believe me I will not lose you twice
I want to hold you, though it will end my life
My beloved wife with a soul of ice
Though you will kill me with your touch
When we're united at last
You I want and avoid so much
After all those centuries that passed

My husband, my eyes I can't believe
You're here and I

34. MoonOne night I was aked by the moon
If I am happy
I could not reply too soon
the answer's not easy
I should have simply said "yes" and leave the moon alone up there
But instead I said "I don't know" and the moon began to stare

All I had wanted was to dream
And gaze at the sky
But now there was the moon's gleam
Demanding reasons why
Maybe I should have turned away, ignoring the bright moon, but
Its light filled my bedroom and my window blind refused to shut

So many time you looked at me
Longing in your eyes
I wonder if you're happy
Or if you need advise
But since you never said a word I finally did ask
Say, are you hap

About HateWhen hate is a fire, then it's burning cold.
All consuming, raging uncontrolled.
Hot tears are burning in eyes and on skin,
Unable to calm the storm within.

The consumptive flame turns from red to white.
Burns down borders between wrong and right,
Disoriented reason leads astray.
Lined with ash and debris is the way.

Beneath the heat of raging fire is ice,
For firstly the cold did heat entice.
When freezing the heart in its icy grip.
The shell won't melt, won't break or rip.

Stubborn SurvivalWipe away all of the dirt and blood
With the back of your hand
From your mouth, wipe down the mud
Say, can you get up? Say, can you stand?
Take my hand, I uphold you anytime
The fight was tough
The beating was rough
But here we are, still alive, how sublime

Now, let's see how bad it really is
We have seen better days
There is no doubt about this.
Despite some bruises and scars we'll raise
Yet again, maybe we will never learn
When to give in
When we cannot win
But here we are, and defeat we still spurn

So take my hand, get back on your feet
You didn't die of the pains
Even broken hearts still beat
And pump the red hot blood

Winter BluesA blanket fallen from the clouds
Covers the land as snow falls down,
So white, white as a wedding gown,
White, white as the burial shrouds.

The firs wear coats made of snow,
The solemn silence like mist soars
To mountain tops from valley floors,
Silence of graves does follow.

Lonely cart tracks slowly fade,
Now they only lead to nowhere,
Their origin is no longer there,
Soon they are but a white shade

A blanket fallen from the sky
Covers the peaceful land below
With the innocently white snow
Comes the cold that lets us die.

The CarnivalWelcome to this carnival,
welcome to this circus fair.
Enjoy yourself, enjoy your stay
A better place can't be found anywhere

Round and round and round we go
Round and round, heyday, yahoo

Welcome to this carnival
Where the party never ends
And if you should feel sad one day
You'll smile again when walking on you hands

Round and round and round we go
Round and round, heyday, yahoo
Round and round we go and go

Welcome to this carnival
The place you will never leave
Where joy rules for eternity
Over what the eyes see here, hearts don't grieve

Round and round and round we go
Round and round, heyday, yahoo
Round and round we go and go
Round

Art Trade - CloverThe sky was coverd by grey clouds, which had just stopped pouring down rain. They muffled the light and everything colours seemed to have lost saturation.The many puddles reflected dark shreds of clouds floating passing by a dirty white background.
A shallow one of those liquid mirrors suddenly got stirred up as someone stepped carelessly into it. This someone was a girl. She walked with her head down, not paying too much attention to her surroundings. AN uprising cold breeze played gently with her long, wavy, black hair. The girl, Clover, hunched her shoulders a bit to keep the cold away.
A car drove by and managed to go through a large pudd

UntitledMy world is crumbling and I can tell
It will fall apart, this won't end well.
Yet I know, despite the fear
And hollow feeling in my chest,
Yet I can see past the tears,
Which come forth without rest,
That mourning is the price of love
As a consequence thereof.

Don't get fooled by the facade
and the sensible word's cascade.
I'm hurt badly and in denial,
Failing to accept the facts,
Whishing a miracle cure's vial,
Still covering all the cracks
My mask and world now show,
Unused to reveal truths below.

Yet I know and learn anew
Each day, I have all of you
My friends, to help me out,
To be there if I only asked
I can rely on you, without doubt

14. SmileNo matter what I do or what I say
The problems I cannot take away,
The problems you face every day.
But still I keep trying my very best
So for now, you can let them rest.
I look on the bright side when you can't see
Anything but despair and debris
And avalanches of painful scree.
But still I keep trying my very best
So that for now, they'll let you rest.
It's not ignorance of reality
Or some twisted kind of vanity
That arouses this necessity.
I keep trying to see you smile
From your heart's bottom for a while.
Gift me your smile, that's all I'm asking for.
It helps me fighting on my own war
So from my lowest point I can soar.
Without your smile, I will go mad
Smile, show me mankind's not all bad.

To my sister

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

Like a sister I do love you
The sister who never was mine
Older sister I look up to
My younger sister fair and fine
And you're more than a friend to me
My twin sister with diff'rent blood
We're seperated by the sea
But to you my heart does still spud

Sometimes I curse all of the miles
You and me thousands do divide
I want to witness all your smiles
Those which are born from deep inside
I cannot hold you when you cry
And I really wish that I could
Still a dreamer's mind does fly
And it'll be with you for good

And it brought this few lines to you
Written from deep within the heart
And each single word here is true
A wish from somewhere far apart
To my sister so far away:
I wish you a happy birthday

I hope you like it, Sis

I wrote it with the melody of "Colorblind" by "The Dresden Dolls" stuck in my head. Though I am not sure if you can actually sing this poem to this song
