Poem's Title: Dreaming of Sleep
Poem:
I spend the night dreaming in shadows
Visited by words without an image,
a voice without a pitch, without a sound,
and as the time approaches nigh in the shade,
I grow restless
My mind constructs an image
in color and light, so vivid, so real,
and still but a moment's fallisy,
A mere glimmer of something lost and still,
I grow restless
At last I arise from my fitful repose
in the darkness still it looms,
a fleeting wisp of paradise above,
elusive and free of the bonds of earth, and still
I grow restless
Soon shall I cross this tired mortal coil,
my mind yearning for the moment of passing
but what will become of me?
As time draws near as I to death
I find peace

Poem's Title: Can you hear me now?
Poem:

Hey God, Can't you see me?
I wish I were not here.
It appears you're watching someone else,
But I can feel that you are near.

I know that you can hear me.
I know that you can see.
What i really want to know
Is why you're ignoring me.

You've watched me fall apart.
You've watched my whole world going wrong.
You've seen me as I cry in bed.
You know I'm not this strong.

So when will help be coming?
When will I not be alone?
I'm sick of feeling so lost.
I'm sick of the unknown.

Don't you plan to save me?
To spare me from this stress?
It's hard waiting for nothing,
Is this a hard request?

So please, God, Will you help me?
Bring me something good.
My problems seem low priority,
But I feel misunderstood.

My whole world's going wrong.
You know I'm not this strong.
So, please dear God, just help me.
Listen to my song.

Poem's Title: Sleeping Beauty
Poem:

Amidst the clouds
we lie
hand in hand

Your sleeping face
so beautiful in rest
is filling my head
my entire vision

and I'm bewildered
awed beyond my comprehension
how such an angelic creature
came to be mine

This sleeping beauty
here beside me
on this golden morning

Poem's Title:Determination
Poem:

I watched a little bug today,
It climbed a wall, and fell away,
It struggled to its feet, with a sway,
And climbed the wall that very day.

I thought to myself, why oh why?
A bug would work so hard and try,
In a single year, it’ll to die,
It’s final trip, a last goodbye.

The wall confinement, blocking its dream,
An evil enmity, a whole different scheme,
All alone, abandoned by it’s team,
It takes determination, to fight it seems.

For the bug would stroll and stroll,
Climbing walls and sticking poles,
It would destroy its body and its soul,
To reach it’s destination it’s only goal.

Poem's Title: We'll Make it By Okay
Poem:

We all cry, my dear.
Someday, we'll die, my dear.
But while we're here,
We'll stay,
Forever dreaming.
And we'll make it by okay.

We all frown, my dear.
We've all been down, my dear.
But let's forget,
Those days.
Run to tomorrow,
And we'll make it by okay.

Crimson blood, we share.
You know we've all been there.
I'll take your scars
Away.
Embrace your pain,
And we'll make it by okay.
