Poem Category: To make you think...
Poem's Title: Darkness
Poem:

Darkness.....
what will it take to see the light?
will it be dim at first
or will it be bright?
darkness....
some get lost in its evil grasp
some find the meaning of life
some take off that mask
the mask that covers the face
the mask that covers the soul
they find love, happiness
the purpose to know
to find their way
out of the dark
to find the light
to find your heart.

Poem Category: Love...
Poem's Title: Wishing
Poem:

If I had to choose,
I would choose you every time,
Because in my heart of hearts,
I want to make you mine.

I listen to your stories,
Of how you love another,
I listen with hope but cry inside,
As I know I will never be her.

She doesn't know how lucky she is,
To have the love of a man like you,
And if I was really honest with myself,
I would say I love you too.

But friends is all we are,
The best of friends at that,
And I love each minute I spend with you,
Even if the feeling is not felt back.

I think that I would be content,
If you and I were closer friends,
If you held my hand and hugged me tight,
And told me your love for me would never end.

But all you do is think of her,
She's never off your mind,
You tell me of your love for her,
And yet to mine you are blind.

You don't see how much I'm hurting,
How the tears flow inside,
How I cry rivers into the night,
Will the flood waters ever subside?

Poem Category: Sad
Poem's Title: Hitman
Poem:
Climbing white stairs two by two a time
Gold key in my pocket, ebon case in my hand
Here for a purpose, for a another man's life
For tainting the bed of another man's wife

I arrive at the door of room twenty-four
Twist in the key and swing wide the door
The time is approaching for the scythe blade to ring
The noonday is dawning, now the Reaper will sing

All the doors shut now and bolted and locked,
The rifle assembled, the bullets in place
I slip up the window and gaze o'er the docks
Take aim at the one whose soul is now lost

I wait in the wings of room twenty-four
I've twisted the key and sealed tight the door
The time is approaching for the scythe blade to ring
The noonday is dawning, now the Reaper will sing

Now my heartbeat grows slow and my mind becomes free
The trigger is squeezed with its flash and report
The job has been done, and I know now to flee
Till through rifle's black scope a horror I see

I sit in the sill of room twenty-four
I've taken my shot, spilled blood to the floor
The scytheblade cries foul for the deed it has done
The Reaper has taken both father and son

I see the man's family gathering round
Wife daughter brother emerge from the home
Both husband and child lie still on the ground
Weeping and wailing the comfortless sound

I sit in the shadows of room twenty-four
Gun barrel in my mouth, gun butt on the door
This was not how it was to be,
For an innocent child the Reaper takes me

Poem's Title: You'll never know
Poem:

He never actually made you want him dead,
nor yourself.
He never made you wish you were never born.
He never made you want to run away, or call for them to

take him.
He never made you lie to everyone you know.
He never made you feel so low and unloved.
He never actually made you hurt yourself for hate of him.
You'll never understand, because you were never there.

Poem's Title: Sneeze if you Pleaze
Poem:
One day I awoke
from my pleasent Z's
and had a peculiar feeling
in my nose you seez
first I caught my breath
for a second I couldn't breath
and out came this horrible thing
a big o'l nasty sneeze.
I sniffled and I coughed
In my room a dusty breeze
"Oh no!"
I exclaimed has I caught my breath once more
I ran as fast as I could
to the bathroom door
This ones gonna be a winner
I knew it from the start
as I looked at the empty toilet paper roll
that almost broke my heart
I ran to the living room
and shouted "I have a big issue
can someone please
hand me a tissue!"
"I cannot hold it anymore
so gimme a kleenex if you please
I have this horrible cold
and I'm about to sneeze"
I have a tissue in my hand
 here we go 1 2 3..
AHHH CHOO
whew I set it free
eww a big ol' boogie
I should wipe it from my nose
I think this is embarressing
I suppose.
