Maybe I'm afraid to loose it
Or maybe I don't want to die
A stupid story where nothing can fit
I want to sleep, but can't even lie
How can everything have blown
An awkward sort of oblivion
Despite efforts, sanity has flown
Bowing before foreign tribune
Your world is so dense
Nothing makes sense
*********************
KILL EM ALL
You never saw the sunrise
You never wished on stars
You never cried in the dark
You never stood in those heavy rains
You never hid from the moon
You never waited for the white light...
So of course,
It's easy for you to say:
"Kill 'em all!"
**************************
R.I.P
Remember the sounds
When copper and nickel piled up
The rhythm of the music
The beat in your heart...
When the coldness in the wind
Slashed your tongue
Remember your curiosity
Behind those blindfolds
The pleasure in the pain
As you fell to the ground
Remember the sound
The crimson sun setting in the background
But it had rained
As the laughs and the cries coincided
Your thoughts had drained
Goodnight, my friend
(Sweet dreams)
****************
IT:S OVER
The many nights I kept awake
Listening to the snoring sky
Those beautiful moments of waiting
Seem too far away
I wish you were here
I wish you were here again
All those words I wrote for you
Have dried on paper
Waiting waiting waiting
For you to tell me it's true
I wish you were here
I wish you were here again
But you're no where near
My shadow has always been with me
We've crossed many straight lines
But the corners are always jagged
And we can't slide away
So
I wish you were here
I wish you were here again
To tell me it'll be okay
That I'll wake up someday
I WANT TO GO HOME
I want to go home
It's somewhere out there
Just wish I knew where
Away from these hills
Invisible to the sun's view
A cottage where I can hide
A place where you thoughts won't follow
The lost island---
Where I can sleep
It's somewhere out there
Just wish I knew where

This is outstanding, Naima - if it were one of mine,
I'd be very proud to have written it - well done!
Every refuge is a bottomless pit
Each new hope is an endless challenge
The grey sky bursts open
And the tears wash away my dreams
The beautiful rays of the warm sun
Shine for a new beginning
- then
it's the same story
Where every step taken
Is a mistake
--- all over again

Dreams are Too Complicated
Dreams are too complicated
When you think nightmare's are right
These people teach you to be hated
That's how you live your life
Where the end's always fated
One dream is a dream to much
Cause these are funny times-
Even life's traded
Suits and ties are in a rush
Nomads to be dominated
Too many last chapters
No conclusions- memories resonated
Hopes and dreams-
Are too complicated
Death says, "Hello"
Beautiful, beautiful foundations-
Fabricated
Too much red- no questions
Rules in black and white
Can't be debated
Dreams-
-the reality of it all-
Are
Too
Complicated
******************
body's stiller than dead wood
but moving really slow
like being pulled by a force
in emptiness, nowhere to go
nothing is around me
but white light like snow
my heartbeat fills the air
echoes in my head
like ive sniffed some poppers
i wonder am i dead
peaceful and serene
i relax
i let go
then looking up ahead
a tornado
chaos
ensures
unfamiliar faces, familiar cries
swept along a road I do not know
and I am in the eye
the storm gathers momentum
tearing everything in sight
I know that I'm in danger
But its like I wanna die
Or know I wont
Then boom
Its gone
Its done
Im back alone
Like a space man gone AWOL
Floating in the bright light
without a worry or thought inside
A recurring dream
Ive dreamt all my life
Thank You Mcee fya... it's really beautiful, I especially love the way you end yours....
"A recurring dream
Ive dreamt all my life "
....and the dreamers continue to dream...
***********************************
I want you to know
A part of me wont let me sleep
Your face, your words, your pleas
They torture me now
That I'm alone
I wish I tried a bit more
I can image you-
Lauging, an incomplete laugh
Smiling, an unwhole smile
How many times should I apologize
-it'll never be enough
My stupid mistakes
-this guilt is too much
I want you to know
I understand what you meant
There's no comfort without you here
It's like waking up again.....
**********************************
Its here before me
Not just a fantasy
Today it is real
No more waiting, no screaming
But I want to go on
dreaming
- till you could touch it with me
Like we planned it to be
(
In the years of my childish ignorance)
But I cant go on
(dreaming)
I know- you'll never be here
You'll never feel this
I hold my trophy
(alone!)
I enjoy your poetry, especially the poem concerning a child's nightmare. It is surprising and flows. I am trying to review other's works here hoping my works may be reviewed as well (606 University parts I and II, Cody, and Flustrated)
I am more of a fiction type than poetry, but I was struck by your works. Keep up with them.
Hi Naima
You know wlynes is right - these poems are striking.
I especially liked the first and last one - I'm truly impressed
Hope you are well
Peace
Endy
