A WHIMSICAL PLACE


for things to read...

Welcome to my poetry place

This is mostly poetry written in my teen years. I am currently in the process of reorganizing my poetry pages so it will be easier for me to add poems (since I have SOOO many more to add) and also for you to find, as they will be alphabetical and dated.

  • Hazy Daze

    Logic and proportion have faded, gone to none,
    Death and life's illusions have molded into one.
    Love and hate are gone, there is no color..only grey
    Peace and heaven's contentment seem so very far away.
    The skies are often cloudy; the sun rarely shines above.
    Time seems never ending in this hazy daze of love.

    If life doesn't seem worth living,
    And the only thing worth giving,
    Isn't wanted, won't be taken
    And you know your heart is breaking...
    When all is undecided
    So much need, but all one-sided,
    You can't see the sun above.
    This is the hazy daze of love...

    Finally,
    As the clock moves slowly forward,
    And the days don't seem to end,
    Your life goes trudging onward,
    But your broken heart won't mend.
    You wander without purpose through
    the world and in your mind
    Till suddenly you realize
    This love has kept you blind.

    And if life doesn't seem worth living,
    When the only thing worth giving,
    Isn't wanted, won't be taken
    And your heart is surely breaking...
    Know, in time the pain will lessen,
    and you'll come out of depression.
    The sun will shine above,
    After the hazy daze of love.

    Chameleon

    I am a Chameleon.
    	I can be light...of heart
    	I can be white...in spirit
    	I can be dark...when dark surrounds me.
    
    I can change my color to suit
    		my lover
    		my friend
    		my self
    		my inner self
    
    I can change my color to fight my enemy.
    And just when my enemy discerns my new color, 
    I can show
    		my true color... and attack!
    
    I am a Chameleon.
    	I am that which you need
    	whatever, whoever you require. 
    
    	I am the coldest ice, the hottest fire.
    			as I desire.
    And I can be nothing to you, if I choose. 
    	And then you lose!
    
    For I am a Chameleon!

    Elsewhere

    Running...always running.
    Haunted, hunted, by that eerie, eerie
    Elsewhere
    Others laugh...Others never feel the
    frightening fear of being caught, but never catching,
    never quite catching that creamy cloud of
    Home...sweet home. Never knowing Home.. Only
    Elsewhere

    Checkmate

    I'm sorry, I'll have to cancel our game today.
    You know, the one where I'm the pawn,
    and you, my king, for whom I'd give my very life,
    and too my heart, push me around to suit
    your every whim.

    I never realized how little I meant to you.
    Or that you would go as quickly as a feather in the breeze.
    "A Queen awaits me" you laughed as you flew away.
    I'm convinced no words could be colder than these.
    You froze my heart.

    Now here you are and I am so much colder.
    "The time to play is gone," the Ice Queen states.
    And though the move you made could be no bolder,
    Still, you have lost, for I have called, "Checkmate."

    Because...

    I try to please you, because I love you.
    You try to please me, because you love me.
    Both are hurt because we try to please each other, because
    we love each other.
    
    Where did we go wrong?
    Both so hurt we almost hate each other, because we love 
    each other.
    
    I though it was what you wanted,
    You thought it was what I wanted.
    Now neither have what we wanted.
    
         Because
    
    We want each other, but we hurt each other, innocently,
    because we love each other.

    Genius at Work

    I reach out...
         to touch a mind
         I knew, very long ago.
    The mind is hiding
         The face remains
         The memories lay there, still
         The name is as ever, unchanged
         The laugh is the same
    But the mind... The Mind?
         That beautifully open, crazy,
         kind, deliriously - funny -
         thought - thinking mind
    That ingeniously disorganized
         cabinet cluttered with
         cobwebs of gold
    That wonderfully wild yet wise -
          beyond - its -time - mind
    That Mind !!!  Exiled itself?
         I will not believe that
         illogically, logical mind
         would retire itself -
              forever.
         It has withdrawn again,
         to piece together some
         perplexingly precious
         puzzle as yet unsolved
         by humankind
    
         Hush, there's a genius at work here!

    Have a Heart

    Have a heart and hold me near, for at least a little while
    You know you really make me smile
    For when you are within my sight...
    I can pretend that all is right.

    Have a heart, erase the fear, that torments me all night long.
    Like, how soon will you be gone?
    No more to be mine,
    Although I am yours until the end of time.

    Have a heart, and call me dear. Just pretend you'll never leave.
    Please just allow me to believe
    in these precious times of me and you
    Because I know how precious and how few are left, so
    Have a heart.

    Self Exile

    And when the boredom overtook my mind,
    I watched the ceiling dance.
    I argued with a spider on the wall,
    afraid to take a chance.

    The candle flickered as I watched it glow.
    And then I head the din,
    Of the thunderstorm once outside my room.
    It now had broken in.

    Am I never to be safe from the cold?
    Cold world, cold hearts, cold you...
    Can I not hide my heart from that which hurts,
    Or must I exile that, too...

    ?Porque?

    ?Porque? Solamente dime.
    Vio la diferencia, y quiero llorar.
    No Comprende les razons.
    ?Que pasa'? No pongo olvidarse,
    pero no esta' enamore'. Y `el no
    parece comprendarme. Asi, dime les razons,
    por favor. Trato de explanir-- ?Porque?

    Mary, Mary

    Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
    your garden is fading fast..
    No silver bells, few cockle shells,
    Your pretty maidens can no longer last.

    Mary, Mary, life is scary.
    Your fairy tale garden is gone.
    But pretend all is well,
    with your maidens and bells,
    Maybe they'll come back by dawn.

    "Mary, my dear, are your maidens near?
    Are they playing outside in the rain?"
    (I'll pretend all is well, so no one can tell)
    "Yes, they're playing. They'll come back again."

    Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
    I no longer hear the rain.
    I'm not a fool, although you act cool.
    I don't think they'll come back again.

    ODE
    To a new friend
                  a special friend
                  a unique friend
    To a very special friend
    
    My friend,
         I knew you well, when first I saw you.
         The knowledge grows each passing day.
         The more I know, the deeper I love
         in such a very special way.
    
    You are...
         Beautiful, special, kind, gentle, loveable, sweet,
    strong, unique.
         Teddy bear, do you care?
         I need you near, I want you dear!
    
    I told you once, my dumpling dunce,
     you are a king, to me you bring
     such sweet romance that I can dance
     to moon and sun. You are such fun
                             I love you,
                               love you,
                               love you,
                               love you,
                               love you!

    Numb Without You

    Last night in a dream, I was with you.
    In your arms so warm, I could really feel you!

    But then you turned from me. Time and I were frozen.
    Others tried to melt me, which just showed them,

    I am the coldest ice, I cannot melt.
    Since I cannot feel your touch, nought else is felt.

    I'm Numb Without You

    Splinters
    
    
    I let my hair grow,
             because I missed your hair.
    I let my eyes cry,
          they hurt -  they loved you, too.
    I let my mind wander,
             it would only think of you.
    Refusing to comprehend,
            why you were no longer there.
                          
                                  The seasons passed without you,
                  it always felt like winter.
                                  Although grey, not white;
                  it was cold, frigidly cold.
                                  I don't even have a picture of you
              The ones that I had, you stole. 
                                  The frames you threw upon the ground
          Like my heart, they lie in SPLINTERS
