Heaven's Fire

FLASH!
The sky is filled with a blinding light, a blazing fire, from heaven.
BOOM!
The atmosphere screams out in auguish as the fire tears at its invisible flesh.
CRACK!
The fire, sharper than a sword, slices through the millions of particles in the air.

SPLASH!
The sky’s blood and tears flow down from the crying, wounded clouds.
WHOOSH!
The atmosphere’s dyeing sighs gust and blow over the crimson earth.
POW!
The fire relentlessly stabs at the bleeding air again and again.

Drip…
The sky’s blood drains, leaving it lifeless.
Drop…
The atmosphere cut deep, its wounds crusted with dry blood.
Silence.
It… is… finished…

Ok, I know I already posted my free verse poem, but I wrote this today, and I liked it better. I don't care whether or not we workshop it, I just wanted to post it.

Why are we not stronger than this-
This silly desire, this stupid passion?
I can feel it in your gaze,
Hear it in your touch,
Do you see what I'm saying?
My whole body screams
As we move closer.
My heart screams for more,
Screams to be loved.
But my head screams for sense,
Screams that I must stop
Before it's too late.

Free Verse Poem

I stare vacantly over your shoulder-
and I can feel you staring into my eyes.
I always walk away first
while you stand waiting for one more goodbye.
I feel this slipping from our hands.
but we could pretend the stars aren't the only ones that are falling fast...

Homecoming Flag

A red cloth quivers
on a late spring breeze.
Speak Summer!
When you took your leave
you injected a poison
into me.
A playful chase commences
with my other heart.
The other life pump of my soul has returned.
Speak Friend!
When the tides of time brought
you home,
they gave me back healthy veins.
That viper's weapon
no longer encumbers our games.
I will catch you soon enough
and wrestle you to the floor.

Free Verse

Harmony and melody,
two sounds intertwined.
Different but perfect.

Both wound together
and knit into my mind,
playing over and over again.

Day and night
my mind composesbeautiful sounds,
trying to put music to this world.

Yet nothing ever quite fits.
My mind can not keep up
with the pace of this world.

It is just too easy
for your world and everything you know
to be co pletely altered in one slight second.

Silence

I hesitate to speak.
Is silence better than accusation?

Should I dam up my heart like a river,
And let the criticism bring me to overflowing,
Breaking the dam at last?
Or is it better to let my heart flow,
The beat creating waves for the world to see,
Whether they like it or not?

My words are meant to express my hurt.
But what if they double it?

If I speak will I be pushed down and rejected?
Left in the dirt, trampled down,
My thoughts, feelings, ideas
Scattered through the mud like small strips of paper,
Surrounding pressure shoving them into the mire
Until only a tiny smudged corner is left visible.

Can I raise myself from the filth?
Do I dare show my mud- and tear-stained face?
Can I let my heart beat again?

Will I?

Free Verse Poem

Little girl, what's the matter?

Little girl, why do you cry?

Such sorrow written on your face,

Your life has been so hard.

Baby girl, I'm sorry you're hurt.

Baby girl, I want to help.

I feel your pain,

Isn't there something I can do?

Innocent girl, you've done nothing wrong.

Innocent girl, you don't deserve this life.

But God is here for you.

He wants to give you a New Hope.

Beloved girl, you are precious.

Beloved girl, you are a child of God.

The Angel Cries

Broken laws, remaining bound by rust stained bars
as the black and white fades with the fashion.
And as I sit here I think upon my actions and realize it all meant nothing
This is who I am; the fire of the arsonist, I burn destruction and take that which isn't mine.
I cause my own self-destruction.
Torment, constricted in flames.
Nothing eradicates the heart more than deception.
Stained words taint me.
You break the balance, and destroy that which was already left desolate.
How can you gorge yourself on my downfall when I begged for love in your eyes?
You've started this and I've become mere fractures in your alluring kiss.
And all you want is a machine, no emotions, just exterior in this moment
What is love, if love has left me behind?
Those who claimed my soul eternally have left me caught alone in the silence of static pulses.
They left me, when all was amiss
left in the dust, left, no kiss.
Never to return, lust and nothing more I crumble.
My body was trashed, as was your word.
Though you sigh, ignorant, indifferent to this, my throat constricts in agony.
And now I walk painted in the black of your eyes and have a strange vision;
There you are, twenty years from now, on the streets, diseased, alone in your decadence.
And I will be one of the vapors in the air, that yet remains to linger by your eyes.
You will forget my name, but not my face-our faces, and how you took our passion.
And you will know the sorrow of a thousand tears, just as they that streamed down the front of my neck.
Your trapped, unable to cut out your confused, conflicted, contrition.
And as I light this, you take me away-the remnants of beauty and love forsaken.

free verse

I was thinking of Forest Gump when I was trying to write a poem and i was in a hurry and i really dont like it...

Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re ganna get.
Looking back one could defiantly say that about my life,
I’ve left best friends behind and I’ve moved well over five times
I've had my share of heart breaks and I’ve have my share of wasted days,
I've faltered in the Darkness and I've danced in the bright Light,
I've soared over fences and ridden peaks of waves,
I've seen my life before my eyes and I've had a gun pointed to my brain,
I've been in the heart of a volcano and I've swam among killers,
I’ve hated my body and I’ve repented countless times for horrible things,
Life has been great but I can’t help but to pray for the day I will see your face.

Free Verse Poem

You are my brother.
You have been there when no one else was.
You are the reason I am the free-spirited girl I have become.
You were my father when I needed a leader and counselor.
You were my mother when I needed a meal and a shoulder to cry on.
You are my role model when I am in a sticky situation.
You are the person that I compare men to see if they are truly eligible.
You are one of the few people that I can say has never let me down.

Free Verse Poem

Class '09


We have grown together as individual parts to one whole for four years.
We have been there to see each other during the awkward phases.
We have laughed, cried and matured together.
Growing closer to some, and drifting from others,
we approach graduation day with a conflict of emotions.
Some are excited to let this all go,
while others are dreading the inevitable goodbyes.
Ready or not graduation approaches,
And everything will be changed forever.
No longer will we be creating new memories,
and when we are together we can talk about is the past.

You

You walked right into my life when I least expected it
You helped me get back on my feet
You understood me when no one else did
You had your own issues yet you helped me through mine
You have no idea how much that meant to me
You were my friend and confidant
You've changed my life
I wish things were different that I could thank you
But you've exited my life before I had the chance
You walked away to fast; it feels like a hit and run
You left me completly alone, with just those precious few memories
Now what am I to do?
Who can I talk to now that you're gone?
I can't talk to anyone else but You.
How could You do this to me?
