Poem (25) - Pick a word

Well I took a few random words from people the other day and made up a few little poem-y things just for fun. ^^


Ode to my:
~Pillow~
(word given by caroline)

A tiring day
Leads me away
And into my bed
I rest my sleepy head
Upon my favorite pillow

So very soft
Keeps me aloft
My dreams happen
When I lie on it nappin
Like a plushie lump of hill'o


~Cigar box~
(Word given from Caroline)

My uncle dear, whom I loved
Often smoked a lot
Smoke rings settled like doves
About his little ash pot

My favorite gift from him
Had to have been
The cigar box with gold trim
I use it to store my pens


~Radio~
(Word given by... Will)

I sit turning a dial
Wishing there weren't miles
Between you and I

Songs are playing
I wouldn't mind not staying
Beside the radio

Every note I hear
Reminds me your not near
As I waste my day


~The Bay~
(Word given by Will, but wasn't used in this version. I didn't like how the first version turned out)

Watching the fishing boats shrink
Off in to the distance by the brink
As I sit, my mind wanders around
Soaking in the sights and sounds

There's a bridge in the distance
Giving the wind ristitance
As it blows through relaying
That rain will not be delaying

A quick glance to the right
What is that filling my sight?
Wind is blowing a storm this way
Looks like a cloudy day in the bay

Poem (24) - Ben

*laughs* Title says it pretty much. For my boi... ^^


~Ben~

A smile to face the day
With an embrase to say
What lies behind the ties
Of soft, gentle sighs

Crinkled lines beside eyes
Growing laughter can not die
As the giggles increase in sound
Fragrantly they swirl around

Wrapped up amongst arms
Feeling safe and from harm
Leaning forward, breathe deep
Little kisses upon my cheek

Time passes while pondering
Lots of little things wandering
Through the paths of our minds
Time is never too far behind

Traipsing along the trail
Feet piloting without fail
To where will this road lead?
Maybe mysteries unseen?

Whispering trees lean around
Starlight twinkling abounds
Listening to your rhythmic heart
Makes me hope we never part

Poem (23) - Decend

This one is another one that seems to have popped out of no where. Here then, is the words in the pattern of which they came to my brain for whoever to read as they wish. Ha. I'm a nutcase...

~Decend~

I'm sensing a hint of black
Spilling from the lack
Of what I once knew
Unhappily I watch it brew

Keep these eyes of hidden glow
Wrapped up from what shows
The mist rising from below
Is enough to release the foe

Struggling now with breath
Leave me alone to find d e a t h
It seems my heart is left
To beat with broken weft

Leering sneers echo quite well
Around ground to which I fell
Gasping with a rooted will
I hear a faint and weary trill

Cork the mourning theme
It's sufficating me
Slowly again I see
What was once around, flee

Poem (22)- The Maiden's Pendent

This is an old one that I realized I hadn't put up here yet. ^^ Heh. Ummm...
And no it is not written from a personal experience or anything. It's just a thought for a storyish-type-thinger that popped into my head i desided that what-the-hey..i'll make it into a poem. ^^

~The Maiden's Pendent~

As the pendent falls toward the ground
Tears fall from her eyes at the sound
The one that's been given is now lost
The one that was held is given at a cost

Around her neck the pendent had laid
For many long months and many days
A blessing to be presented with much care
And the meaning of a devotion unpaired

One had come along her pleasant path
Asked for the trinket while inmist of a laugh
Scorn was born towards him that day
Never again did she see that display

One gently wooed her with tender words
Her eyes pranced with fancy in a surge
Although he had grace and tender care
He was turned away with a hard glare


One followed her path with honest hope
He caught up with her and begain to dote
She was lost in fondness for this young lad
Who captured her heart and that was sad

The pendent was his to hold and keep
To hide safe by his heart to be near the beat
He stayed true to her for quite awhile
Pleasing her fancy and taste for style

But one day his conviction was lacking
He saw another that was 'worth tracking'
The pendent felt like a heavy lead weight
So he took it off to go running about late

When she saw it lying there upon the desk
Her eyes flew open wide from this new stress
Tears begain to swell but she hoped for the best
Because she thought her choice had not been less

Finding him creeping in through the back door
Her fears were found true and quite sure
For his face was stained with a deep shame
One that no soap could ever wash away

She reached over and picked up the token
Lips moving franticly with words unspoken
Through her grasp she let the pendent tumble
Watching it drop she wished it would crumble

This now leading to where we had begun
The tragic story of their relationship is done
Be wary, young maids, of the pendent you hold
Be wary, young lads, of the temptations untold

Poem (21) - Random

Well. I was just playing around with random words and concepts the other day and desided i'ld post 'em. Some of them have everything to do with something and other have nothing to do with anything. ^^ Go figure!~ Yes, I know that there are alot of them. *shrugs* ^.~

-Random-

A deep sigh leaves my lips
A broken road full of dips
Why must it be so hard
I really haven't wandered far...

Sea green waves crash against
They leave me feeling rinced
Tears in my salt watered eyes
It all seems to laugh at my cry

Break a burden, just for me
Then again, will it let you free?
Tattered ashes floating on wind
Don't breath to deep or you'll sin

Pass me the napkin, dear
I seem to catch a hint of fear
Belittled past a falling care
Catch a starbeam in the air

Star light, Star bright
Have you a wish for me tonight?
Find me a daisy wrapped in blue
Maybe there'll be a kiss for you...

Hope bound in winter leaves
Poster-note cards that teem
Written softly so they glow
Have a heart and maybe show

Twitter, my darlings, like the light
Steaming down from such a hight
Laughing past this little home
Swirling around like seafoam

White on red fills with dread
To much into it you've read
Filling eyes, chocking hopes
Gasp a little at the ropes...

Textured brown laying around
While I sit upon the ground
Wondering if it's all forlorn
Waiting for a little more

Floating notes lie mid air
Catch me some if you dare
Sing along and maybe croon
Happily I'll sing to you...

A little seed of black
Has been painted that
But what shade had it been?
Before it became a trend...

Around the table love goes
Where it stops, no one knows
Pass me a spoonful if you please
I'll take mine without disease

Poem (20) - Abroad

Writen durning the begining of November. *shrug*

~Abroad~

Trip and trod
Let's see what's abroad
Travel from here to there

So many paintings
So many things
It keeps me swirling in rings

All the sounds
All the new tastes
Time I don't want to waste

Keep your eyes pealed
Keep your head up
Pour a little more in my cup

Soon the time is dispersed
Soon the room dances
And I'm left feeling rancid

To much of a good thing
Or so they say
Is enough to ruin my day

Poem (19) - Betrayed

Um. Yes. It's kinda...dark? But I was in such a...raw... Yeah. Raw mood that these words just came out even though really.... they had nothing to do with anything. haha! Go figure. Blah.

(And yes. It has a tune. >.< But I could never sing it for the life of me. Cuz I can't sing the high part. ERG.)

~Betrayed~

Sometimes all I craved
Was a little warm embrace
But I left with cold smiles
And time dripping from dials
How come it feels this way?
Why does it have to stay?

All I wanted was your time
What I got was an empty line
From when I said I was here
To catch the falling tears
What does it matter now?
Why must I try to be found?

Look at me in the eyes
Try to prove that you tried
I'll look back and laugh someday
Because I know you never stayed
Why must you contemplate?
Do you want to be to late?

Haven't you done enough?
Walk away from this stuff
My heart can't take being broke again
Couldn't you just stop trying to get in!
Because I'm quite sick of this
I never wanted that missed kiss

Poem (18) - I'm Here to Listen

~I'm Here to Listen~

Autumn leaves float around
Resting gently on the ground
Do you feel the light breeze
Brushing past you with its ease

Take my hand and let's walk
Along the way we'll just talk
About the days passing fast
I wish that they would last

Worried looks fill your eyes
What problems have arised
I'm waiting here for you
Even when words are few

Poem (17) - Blurred

It was a bad day in a life filled with homework... *sigh*

~Blurred~

A swirls of words
Is all I see
That are moving
Around me
Lost in my world
Seeing blur
Can't find light
Or be too sure
Since my eyes
Are far behind
As I watch
For moving vines
Snare my feet
Cause a bind
My goodness
I've lost my mind
Happy colors
Dances about
As random shapes
Float around
But it's all
Quite a mess
Seeing as it's all
From stress...

Poem (16) - Kaleidoscope

^.^ What can I say? I was in an interesting mood that somehow got set off into a whirlwind of words and a little hint of rhyming. Just a hint, mind you. *shrug* It's up to you to find a meaning if there is one. What will you find?

~Kaleidoscope~

My mind drifts in and out
Wandering all about
Casting off into far lands
Fishing for some lilly pads
Watching the moon wane
As the night fades away
Keeping my thoughts apart
Listening to the mellow bark
As the breeze blows quietly
Along the distant silver streams
Happening so peacefully
Giggling dew sounds carefree
While the storm whispers past
Not allowing chilly blasts
To tip my play-worn home
Trees with happy leaves
Tickling the fuzzy bees
While they pass along
Singing their honey songs
Round little bubbles zip fast
Catching the light while it lasts
Found by the resting pond
With all it's ripples gone
Poking fun at the wind
Trying to make it spin
Around the lifeless ribbon
Found among the pebble-ridden
Foaming shades of gray
Running fingers through rays
Of the soft summer plays
Breathing in cloud-filled air
Brushing off knitted hairs
From the willow's tears
Amused by window panes
Made up of sugar stains
Tie-dyed sky swelling up
Spilling out it's overfilled cup
Washing all the world away
Back into the night of day

Poem (15) - Stray

Um...Old. Found it on a thingy I use to post stuff on. Rather random and written around 1 in the morning if my old notes are correct. *shrug*

~Stray~

Lost in thought
wandering around
taking a look back
and then staring
toward the ground

first a step here
then a skip there
running in circles
startled like a deer

motions caught up
in a mix of emotion
pain slowly filtered
until the sky grows
and earth blinks

take a look around
then drink deep
of the sight
of the sound
of the feeling

know this before
never look back
hair difting behind
eyes wide and flat
mind on the run
and the sun...does come...

Poem (14) - His Arms

Wrote this awhile ago for the psalms challenge with small groups. At one point I believe Anne had put it into a song. At least most of the general idea of it i think... *shrug*

~His Arms~

Everything happens for a reason
Just like everything happens in its season
I may not see the weather change
But there is someone who sets stage

I lean back into his trusting arms
It might not keep me from scaring harms
But he always has a purpose
Even when it may not surface

He loves me so much that he knows
My pain and suffering will always show
How great his love is at healing
My scars that keep me from feeling

Some people ask why it is this way
You see, I would rather the pain should stay
How can you know good without bad?
How can you know happy without sad?

Really it's not that I enjoy the pain
But honestly my reasons are quite sane
His arms are my comfort in times of storms
The pain is what drives me there, forlorn

In him I find my comfort and care
To help me overcome the hardships I bare
So while he whispers lovingly into my ears
I find him wiping away my falling tears

Trouble and fear have no where to hold
When I completely trust that he's in control
My faith may waver back and forth
But he brings me home to find worth

His arms are not there just for me
He's reaching out to you aswell, don't you see?
In times of hardship and heavy rain
His arms are waiting to carry your pain

Poem (13) - I realize that I just might...

~ I realize that I just might...~

When I look back toward the sky
I realize that I just might...

Want to fly away with my mind
Soar to a place way up high

Allow the found storms to cry
Bitter tears that very over time

Count the missing stars that shine
Away until the light feels denied

Wish to find the summer sun that's set
To bring back the days or regrets

Keep the colored beams of salt
Glistening from my moonless walks

I realize that I just might.....

Poem (12) - Stressed to Thin

Mmmm...yup. Actually wrote it when I wasn't stressed at all. Amusing.

~Stressed to Thin~

People tell me not to stress
That it will all turn for the best
Couldn't once I just confess
That this all seems to be a mess

I know there is really a plan
That all is really in His hand
But my heart likes to stand
On the edge of shaking land

Yes, I'll just grin this one out
But part of me would rather shout
Confussion reigning all about
I'm really trying not to doubt

Take my hand for I am through
Of trying to run away from you
Wanting my words to be new
Set my heart back to being true

Poem (11) - Winds

~Winds~

I listen to the wind as it prowls
Upon my windowsill it growls
Clacking its claws against the pane
Wanting me to let it in my domain

I shake my head and scowl
The thought of cold is not allowed
My room has the shade of warm
I have no reason to let in a storm

Poem (10) - Floating Thought

Ahhh yes. An old favorite of mine. I love this one. It can be read as it is here with the repeating end, or read by just the first two lines of each section.
I know it's long..but..yah. ^___^

~Floating Thought~

Brought about with a swoosh from the side
Across my sight it whispered slowly by
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

A haven it wanted to form in the breathing sound
That was nothing more than skittering around
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

Not waiting with patience for the breeze to comply
Something on the wind became more slowly alive
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

The chill around left me breathless and stunded
As i watched the leaf slowly become undone
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

Pushing it's weight along the blistered air
It unfurled among the gust and I began to care
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

Blasting backward and about with ease
I wondered what would become of me
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

Sighing with relief as the cold air surrounded
The fragile figure ran around and abounded
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

It clung to my hair as I wandered around there
Trying it's eyes to see past the blinding glare
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

With a gush it took off again into flight
Swerving around to my playful delight
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind

Keeping it in view as it was flying away
Knowing it would be back sometime...someday..
A twirl, a swirl, a whisp, and a curl
Floating on the wind.....

Poem (9) - Fallen

This one is fairly old...

~Fallen~

Fallen for somebody
Fallen kings of old
Fallen Nation under God
And fallen down a hole

Fallen face first in the dirt
Fallen acrost a chair
Fallen brothers loss untold
And fallen deep into despair

Fallen for God's face
Fallen for His loving grace
Fallen for His life retold
And fallen right back outta that hole

Poem (8) - Fluid Thoughts

~Fluid thoughts~

Why can’t I ever seem to find
That little piece of my mind
That knows just what to say
To save me from this display

Frustrations mounting higher
This wasn’t part of my desire
Can’t things go back to as planned
While I sit sifting through the sand

Maybe my distant wonderings
Can drown out the thundering
That floats around in my brain
Maybe I shouldn’t complain

Fluid thoughts float around inside
Wanting access but being denied
My own formed ideas leaking away
Why must I always run into this delay

Just a little doubt placing in circles
Is this why I’m search for miracles
Catching it all in buckets full of holes
Retaining it just once would be a toll

This is how you always seem to find me…
Running away from my personal tidal waves…
Just once I wish I couldn’t say…
Leave me alone until another day…

Poem (7) - A little Mix of Emotion

Again this is one that had a tune at one point... Unfortunately. Thank heaven, I can't sing.

~A Little Mix of Emotion~

Searching for sunshine
That really isn't mine
That I hoped to find
Why do I feel denied?

A little mix of emotions
Running around my head
A little mix of emotion
Stiring around my heart

A little mix of emotion
Turning my world upside down
Spinning my thoughts round and round
Keeping my head isn't a thrill
Maybe it'll all just... spill...

A little mix of emotions
Running around my head
A little mix of emotion
Stiring around my heart

A little mix of emotion
Keeping me from my sleep
Letting my heart still beat
Knowing this isn't a dream
Why can't it be what it... seemed...

Searching for sunshine
That really isn't mine
That I hoped to find
Why do I feel denied?

Poem (6) - The Farmboy's Trial

Old...written on my grandpa's farm when I was out playing in the fields. I love going to NY...

~The Farmboy's Trial~

The farmboy wandered alone through the field
Watching the sky

The knight strode along the double path
Brandishing his sword with a laugh
Spotting the foe infront of him
He lept forward with a grin
"Many a man have I slayed
That stood to far in my way."
The foe kept coming without care
He was not one to stand and stare
With a flick the sword flashed
And the foe was now d e a d at last
The knight continued on his way
There would be many more foe to slay

The farmboy skipped along the tractor marks
Holding his cat-tail by the fuzzy part
Seeing some Timothy hay in the rut
He lunged forward with a strut
"Many a man have I slayed
That stood to far in my way."
The blade of hay swished in the wind
Not seeing the horrible danger it was in
The farmboy lashed out with his 'sword'
The hay stood no chance against this warlord
On the lad continued down the field
Carring the cat-tail that he chose to wield

Poem (5) - Not understanding

I was getting a little frustraited as to why I am always getting injured.

~Not understanding~

I sit here suffering in pain
Not understanding the gain
Why is it leaving me lame
Is there a purpose to this shame?

The frustration is binding
As nothing seems to be aligning
Why the pain keeps finding
My body still denying

The problem is not clear
But the evidence is near
The doctors say no fear
As my face shows the tears

Motrin sending me to sleep
Keeping me d r u g ged up deep
Why isn't that a treat
To have nothing to keep

As my brain still flutters
And my mind begins to stutter
On my lips I find mutters
Of incoherent blubber

My hands reaching up to air
Trying to find You there
Eyes still locked in a stare
Searching to become aware

Wanting Your plan to be shown
Wishing that I could really know
How come the thoughts are being blown
And seeming to be thrown

God, I'm stuggling with this
Why do I feel like hit-and-miss
Keep my eyes from the mist
Keep my hands from forming fists

I want to understand

Poem (4) - A little bit of Envy

~A little bit of Envy~

A little green splashing my vision
An emotion I wish that had never arisen
Trying to block the hole with my finger
Finding the current to strong for me to l i n g e r

As I sit here with my head in my hands
Pushing back the lake that is filling my land
Knowing that my poor attempt at shoring
Isn’t strong enough to stop the constant pouring

It never occurred to me it was so strong
As now it is pushing me forward headlong
Please forgive any sudden outburst of h a t e
They were never meant to leave my mental plate

It’s nothing against you and as far as I can tell
The possessiveness just came strait from hell
Not by choice did it travel from there as seen
But blindly slipped in through a hole in the seam

Give me a minute to quell what is showing up
There has to be away to stop it rather abrupt
This isn’t how I’m suppose to be living
That’s got me down right to the end, I’m quitting.

Poem (3) - Dancing shoes

~Dancing shoes~

Pretty shoes, not just boots
Do line my closet wall

At one point I wore them once
While dancing down a hall

My dress twirled about me
But it too found it's place

Among the hangers and mothballs
Not stuffed into a case

I want an excuse to pull them out
To float in them once more

Hardly has anything been required of them
Since I bought them at the store

Those shoes were bought to fit these feet
And they must be used quite soon

Because their shine won't leave my eyes
And my ears have caught a familiar tune

Poem (2) - Entralled

Wrote this one while thinking this afternoon. I titled it enthralled because that's how God sees me and this is my cry back to Him. My mind kept trying to put it to a tune...but I don't think it wants to fit to one....*shrugs* I keep mixing the order..but i think i got it now. Maybe. We'll see.


~ Entralled ~

My name is being whispered
And my ears are picking it out

My eyes can't see Him
But I know He's around

My lips are moving
Calling out His name

My nose is smelling
The scent of His creation

My mouth is dry
Just waiting to be refreshed

My heart is aching
To be filled with His love

My mind is throbbing
To understand Him

My feet are iching
To jump into His arms

My fingers are twitching
To do his bidding again

My back is willing
To carry lashes for His name

My legs are eager
To be His messanger

My arms are reaching out
To those He loves

Poem (1) - I Say...

~I say...~

I say...
Nothing seems to go my way..
I say...
Everything's all right.

I say...
There's not much to life.
I say...
Why can't I figure this out...

I say...
I feel lost and afraid...
I say...
Why won't they leave me alone.

I say...
There's nothing to do...
I say...
I'm to busy for you...

I say...
A contradiction every day...
