Roses Are RedRoses are red
Violets are blue
There isn't a thing
I'd do without you.

But the roses are wilting
The violets; they're dead.
Your body's on the floor
And my hands are stained red.

Morning WhisperOne morning I opened my eyes,
woke up buried under a mountain of lies.

Unable to move as the tears started rolling,
I crouched and whispered to myself:

„Good morning."

Same evening I closed my eyes,
as I went sleeping I was buried alive.

Lonely CriesDon't look at me
When I fall apart
I don't want you
To hear my cries
I will always push away
The ones who say they care
It's just sorrow and shame
They care only about themselves
It's just their morality
That makes them pretend

They never look in my eyes
Too afraid of what they might see
Of the empty stare
That won't go away
Scared of the darkness
Of the soulless face
And the hint of a murder
That is always there

For YouCome rain, do come shine

One day, you shall be mine

And the hurt and tears

Shall turn to smiles and cheers

Let me be your strength

Let me be your shoulder

To keep your pain away, at an arms length

As we grow older

My heart, for you, my love

Give me yours

Safe keeping's my middle name, little dove

It's no chore

I shall keep it hidden and locked away

Inside me

Just promise you won't take it back someday

My Love to be...

Three in Five MinutesDream one was a bright white flash
and sounds of things breaking
I opened my eyes and saw it all.

Now I think that it was me.

Dream two was my child yelling
"Where are you? Where are you?"
I opened my ears and heard it all.

Now I think that it was me.

Dream three was a sudden knocking
on the door in deepest dark.
I opened the door and saw nothing.

Now I think that it was me.

My StoryThat little girl lay her head down that night to go to sleep
She was tied down to her bed, instructed not to make a peep
Still sore from her beating earlier that day
She silently cried and wished there would be a way
Someone would find out, get her out of this mess
If given the chance, she would've immediately said yes
Nobody would've suspected there were problems at home
Yet nobody noticed she always was alone.
She heard the stairs creak, she knew what was next
Why they even did it made her completely perplexed
Laying there sweating in the stifling heat
She knew it was time yet again to be beat
The windows were closed, nobody wou

A Silent Prayer...Words from the heart,

Cords and a harp,

Drumroll in the background,

People keep asking where am at now,

See me merge with the background,

Looking from the shadows,

Seeing this hate,

All this envy,

Eyes black and empty,

Damn this life of envy,

But am at a lose for words cuz I lost part of myself in the process,

Memories plunged into darkness,

In the onset,

I was plain unnoticed,

Mates claim they never noticed,

But that didn't make me lose ma focus,

Even when all my hopes were hopeless,

Guess ya'll know this,

It's makes you stronger,

Makes u hard,

But I don't wanna be a stranger for the most part,

I ain't tryna say ma days

Born In Wrong Times, A 21st Century 80's PunkThey always told me
That I can't change anything
That my voice is too small
That I'm too weak

But now I shout
Straight in their eyes
Fuck the system
And their money
There are things they won't buy
Fuck the order
I won't be a slave
Will never follow blindly what they say

I am a rebel
An 80's punk
Living in this century
Of corrupted lies
But I will stay true
To myself and my friends
Knowing what's most important
Sharing the values I've learned
My voice rising high
And they will never shut me up again

Alone.Scarlet
and gold
silk snakes
around limb
and in the eye
two thousand truths—
palm to palm
the mind becomes
too much
entwined with
the mingled scent
of incense
and vapors
and when I
open my eyes
I realize
you were
something dreamed
and the hall echoes:

alone.

DisappearDisappear from the heart and memory
Disappear, release me from You
Disappear, despite old desires
Let me forget about heaven
Disappear, despite I need You
Disappear- intelectual and emotional conflict
Disappear, despite I kiss You in dreams
Go away, but not for eternity

It hurts, when I'm close to You
It hurts, when I don't see You
I love You, I always will
I will, even though I hate You

Let the Lovers SleepLet the lovers sleep, my dear,
with tangled limbs exposed
lest they wake, and out of fear
fast don their heavy clothes

We were like them, and could be now,
it is not youth's sole domain
to feel those passions and wonder how
other souls feel not the same.

So let the dreamers sleep, my love
and fret not while they repose
'tis never a scandal to they above
to embrace your love while you doze.

I no longer rule the worldSeems I no longer rule the world,
grains of life slipping through
the end of the time approaching
power, unable to suppress it.

When the world needed a ruler
they turned to me and shouted 'him!'
but there was no surcease of wars
and the famine stayed in place.

And during disease and death
the people turned and said
'he was meant to cure us!'
though king I never was true.

They strung me up
and gathered the tolls
dragged me through the nation
with screams of blood on their lips.

Though I begged
my crimes bared too much sin
for when it came to society
I didn't save the world.

The floor caved in,
the rope grew taught,
my

Time, Not Time EnoughFallen leaves fly in the wind's icy sigh,
Feathered limbs shiver, dancing leaves quiver,
A muted mirror eye will softly cry,
Ripples deliver life to the river.

But look, the morn, in silver mantle clad.
Gone is the safety and calmness I had.
The clock's hands choke me, a coward appears.
I forgot, courage is in spite of fear.

So my molten eyes learned well to kill,
My burning heart learns easier still.
With the winter winds, I waste away,
But those winds whisper 'as it is, it will stay'.

If this is sin, a seed of avarice sown,
Then mark me among the devil's own.

PoisonThere’s ice in my blood, in the blue veins,
and Pain whips its scorching-hot reigns,
yanking and tightening its cruel hold
until my whole body grows very cold…

Licking crimson fire and creeping cobalt ice –
they clasp my limp body in an iron vice
so steel-strong and diamond-hard
that the black cords leave me scarred…

The fire drags me into the deep black,
the ice shows me memories of way back.
Colors dance before my feverish eyes
and images roam with deafening cries…

Voices softly whisper and gently plead,
but I can’t hear that they and their words bleed.
They don’t realize that this mortal dise

Deadly SinsI swallow my pride every day
as I step onto the street;

I hide my envy day and night,
ignore people of magnitude and might;

I drown the wrath that I carry within
and that blinds me like the light;

I suppress the sloth pursuing me,
solely crushing my ambitions and life;

I flee the greed that is raining down,
washing away my last traits of humanity;

I bury the gluttony deep away,
that was born in a need of balm;

and lastly I avert my eyes
from the lust I feel when I cross her eyes.

Red paint
on a beige wall,
              heat--
              spices the air.
I run my fingers
through
the course grains
of crumbling stone,
watching
flowers bloom,
           in  your presence.

"watching flowers bloom in your presence", I think, is the most powerful line. This could be interpretted so many different ways, really lovely poem

This is a very sweet piece, but I'm not sure what it's about....

I'm guessing it's a dead person considering the description

Not quite, but similar, more about lost love.
