What These Eyes See
With these eyes, I look at thee
And see not what others see
Instead I see beneath the mask
To find out what, you need not ask
You need but look into your heart
To find out what you truly are
Your heart is black, far from divine
But shame on me, for so is mine.
My Angel
You are my angel, and even though
Your skin may not be as white as snow
Your wings they are the deepest black
That would put to shame a witchs cat
And instead of a halo, you have horns
The tips of which are sharp as thorns
Youre still my angel, and you should know
Whatever your destination, my soul will go.
Trapped
I feel I
You're always there to listen
When I'm feeling down
Somone I can turn to
For a smile when I frown.
You always know just what to say
to get me feeling glad
And I in turn help you, my love
when you are feeling sad
We've had our times when we have not
exactly seen eye to eye
And times when I was so upset
we almost said good-bye
But I know this much is true, my love
Ill love you forever more
Its taken time, but now
you have finally opend up the door
to my heart....
You know my deepest secrets
Stuff Id rather not tell
To anyone but those who know me really well
I cant help but think
That we'll meet face-to-face some day
And until that day
Destroy This Poem
To the person grading this poem
To the kind, patient woman hovering over this with a pen
Waiting to say kind, patient words in response, do me a favor:
Stop it.
Dont Patronize me.
I did not slave over this with hammer and anvil
Shaping it into a masterpiece.
I didnt paint it onto the ceiling of some church,
Going blind from the pain and the stress.
I didnt even turn this in on time.
And while Im writing this in my fifth-period economy class,
You can bet Im not concerned with iambs and troches and Italian terza rima.
No, Im concerned with how much water is left in my water bott
