The Rainbow Tempts Thee

In vivid color they jump at you from behind a cloud
A pleasant dream disturbed
Vile yellow reminds the sun to shine down brighter on the vermin
The red bleeds into the ugly orange, making the color of a destructive sun in children's pictures
Envy shadows cold blue, icy remains of shattered glass
Blueberries with their sweet juice stain the imperfect sky
The vile shape tempts fools, promising a black heart and gold eyes
Tearing to shreds their already broken interior
Makes its home on their wrists
Slowly waiting for the inevitable end

Advice (Ramblings at 3 am.)

When you are out, driving home from work, the store, or a friend's house at night, look around you. Look at the beauty of a darkened field full of lightening bugs. Look at the beauty of the trees swaying in the wind. The lights of a gas station in the distance. Silence.
Get up when the sun rises. You will see the birth of a new day, full of hope. Life blooms in the morning; birds sing, the mountains sigh, the mist rises.
When out in public, look around you instead of walking by people, not noticing. Look at children in all their innocence. Look at your own children instead of ignoring them. Life is so busy that we don't take a minute to stop. Stop and look around you at the beauty of the world. Even if the most desolate places, there is beauty.
Don't take the beauty of life for granted. Don't take the things that are given to you for granted. We all take too much for granted; maybe it's to take our minds off of things. Maybe it's because we are too busy.
Take the time to read to your kids; kiss your wife or husband; call an old friend. It's the things that are closest to us that we do not appreciate enough.
Smile. Smiles are the saving grace. If you can smile when you want to yell, cry, scream, fight; do it. Make it a goal to remember good things instead of bad. Don't criticize too much.
Love freely.

Why Me?

I did what I could
I acted the way I should

I tried with all my might

To do just one thing right

I made mistakes, but doesn't everyone?

I did have something

Now I have no one

In my dreams I see your smile

It makes dreaming all worthwhile

If I could turn back the hands of time

I'd do everything right and you'd be mine

Why Me?

I did what I could
I acted the way I should
I tried with all my might
To do just one thing right
I made mistakes, but doesn't everyone?
I did have something
Now I have no one
In my dreams I see your smile
It makes dreaming all worthwhile
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd do everything right and you'd be mine

Just Be Me?

Why can't I be like, why can't they open their eyes?
I'm not what you think, I am what you despise
I'm hated and abused for the sake of being me
Why can't they like what they see?
Why I can't I just be me?



I wrote this while in highschool. A lot of the poems that will be posted I wrote when I was in highschool.

A Poem of Lovers; A poem of Life and Death

Sun shines ever so bright
Never felt this cold
A man full of might
Has never felt so old
A child is born, the perfect sight
Many times her body sold
A father and son fly a kite
Gunned down so quickly, bodies now cold
Never dying spirit radiant with life
Ends so sudden without warning
A man finds a woman to make his wife
That ends so quickly as night becomes morning
Sweet nothings whispered in the ears of a lover
Mean nothing as she lies in someone else's arms
A man and a woman created perfect for each other
But the man is seduced by another woman's charms
Moonlight glistens off the ocean waves
That destroy an island with hundreds of souls
A child happily waits for many days
His mother killed when his father looses control
It's a crazy life beyond our reach
If bad things didn't happen then what's the use?
It's here as a joke and to teach
Some learn, some don't-it's for you to choose
