Bitterness

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 73 views

Throughout much of my life, I have ducked my head to avoid notice, and ran from adversity. My life has ever been an uphill struggle & a battle against the tide.

I was raised to do unto others, and I believed that one day I would also be a recipient of the same generosity that I bestowed on my neighbors. However, I felt the sting of irony time and...

Society's Downfall

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 80 views

Guns sold on the streets
Knives found in the alleys
Hate crime in the cities
Murder in the valleys

Hatred and suspicion grows
Between neighbors all the time
Unlocked doors, there are no more
For there's too much fear of crime

Bar the windows, block the doors
People loathe, distrust, and fear
Yet those outside are not the threat
The beasts within are...

Love

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 80 views

Love, that four letter word that has brought about both the greatest achievements & worst downfalls known to man.

Love, the force that simultaneously drives us to be better people, and clouds our vision, preventing reasonable thought.

How does this emotion control people so complicitly? Why do people abandon all logical thought when they are in...

Man - Nature's Parasite

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 83 views

Fireflies blazing up the night
Creating a wondrous sight
Crickets chirping at the lake
Birds singing for singing's sake

Where then do the creatures roam
When humans tear down their home?
Fields of splendor are no more
Virgin forests? Nevermore

Industry has reared it's head
Striking nature full of dread
For progress, man fills the lake
To return...

Lesson Learned

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 70 views

Full moon waxing in the sky
Not a cloud in sight
I am left to my thoughts
On this peaceful night

Rocky past, uncertain future
My life is not mine to share
Struggling to contain the chaos
Fighting to tame the wild nightmare

A wise man once said to me
Make a life for yourself
Share the life that you create
Do not store it on a shelf

He knows me well, this...

Private Thoughts

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 48 views

Some can write love songs so deep
Others can sing angels to sleep
Neither of these can I claim
To my disgrace, and to my shame

I can say only what's in my heart
Which I should have done from the start

With every new day, my life starts again
To right what is wrong, and overcome sin
This is my challenge, my constant fight
My internal struggle, with no...

The Mutt

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 47 views

Standing on the outside looking in
Whining and cursing the blindness of his sin
A mutt, yeah, an everyday tramp
Unwanted, shivering in the cold and damp

Longing for love, the need to belong
This mutt is trampled every day in the throng
Always underfoot, always in the way
Abandoned pooch no longer knows night from day

Man's best friend, that is what...

Keep in Touch

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 42 views

When you have to leave the ones you love
Please be sure to always keep in touch
For even when you are not there
Those you love always miss you much

Fatherless child, this have I been
My daughter will not share that grief
My dad's mistakes gave cold hard lessons
Time festers some wounds, that's my belief

They say history repeats itself
And to an...

Fly Away Little Bird

Posted by • Jay •, 24 October 2006 - - - - - - · 167 views

Fly away little bird, return from whence you came
Leave me to my solitude, my misery and shame
Fly away little bird, may your dreams all come true
All that I have missed in love is embodied in you

Fly away little bird, take control of your own life
Little did I know that my efforts caused you strife
Fly away little bird, may your life be full of smiles
I...

Love Is Pain

Posted by • Jay •, 06 October 2005 - - - - - - · 40 views

Lighthearted talks, sweet gestures
Often finding their memories abound
Visual attraction, regardless of beauty
Every thought of them brightens your day

Insecurity undermines the best intentions
Sorrow like no other, fortelling the end

Past is past, it can not be changed
All we can do is look to tomorrow
If love can ever again be rekindled
Never again...
