WarWith outstrecthed arms,
And danger nigh,
She closed her eyes,
And bloodily cried,
With blood escaping,
From every pore,
The weakness spreading,
She could take no more.

War, cruel and pointless,
Infects the land,
There is no point in hiding,
Under wars furious hand,
Stuck in it's strong grasp,
Unable to move,
Punished despite your innocence,
Which cannot be proved.

You wait in suspense,
For that moment to come,
When the war is over,
It's all good and done,
Death by a trigger,
More common than peace,
The cries of young children,
For years will not cease.

At the point of the barrel,
Her hands over her face,
Hiding the h

Wara lonely heart
a lonely song
a lonely tear now that peace gone
a tortured soul
behind fearful eyes
having to be all that you despise
a dying hope
a raging hate
that you must fight while leaders debate
that you must die for other men's quarrels
the tears of a dying warrior's sorrows

WarBoom goes the cannon,
As the bullets wiz by,
Fighting for you life,
Hoping you don't die.

War has aged you,
Changed you,
Eaten up your soul,
You're fighting for your cause,
But not without its toll.

The world is tearing apart,
War torn,
Savagly beaten,
It begs for it to stop,
But you keep going,
You fight and fight and fight,
Till there is nothing left to fight.

Just what are you fighting for?
Land?
Fame?
Rights?
I know what you're fighting for,
You're fighting to kill,
For blood to spill,
Because graves were dug to fill,
So what are you fighting for?
You fight for death,
for destruction,
for the end of the world,

You've started a war

Aim, shoot, bang, crash,
Scream, fall, broken, smash.
Sniped a bullet through his head,
Leave him dying on a blood stained bed.
Son of two, father of four,
Thinking you could fix it, you've started a war.

"Prepare to all die, children and wives!"
Out of this large population, nobody survives.
"Our bombs hit them, sir, we've finally won,"
"The war has just started, son, its only just begun."

Hunting down one man, killing those in the way,
Refusing to turn to God, shunning him away.
Wiping out innocents, looking for one face,
Discriminating against others because of their race.
Shooting down men, stealing their land,
Wiping out t

Father heal me nowFaith is leaking from my wound
Father, heal me now
my heart is beating out of tune
Slowly I die somehow

I always thought I was immune
from the disease I fear
Faith is leaking from my wound
bringing to my eye, a tear

An incomplete soul I am
whos faith was once so strong
Satan sent his slaves to attack
now it all feels wrong

I will be better soon when
the Angels play their song
my heart is beating out of tune
heal me father, make me strong

We were forgottenFrozen amongst an ancient temple
a priest whos belief was large
a community of thoes who resemble
a power seen to some as a mirage

The war was lost and now their souls
float solemnly in the sea of lonely
they became close to their goals
though others thought they were fony

Generations later we were forgotten
never did they speak of us again
our dead bodys laying, rotting
but we were all just 'witches' in the end.

That dreamI came so far, and did not know why
a perfect land, with a river close by
a soft gentle voice that agreed with all
he wasn't 'short' nor was he 'tall'

Gentle soft skin that held me close by
Do I know him? I was not shy
His land was so nice, but I had to go soon
We are in love, that's what I assume

His lips against mine, soft and tender
a shiver down my spine, I am glad were together
he held me by my waist and looked me in the eye
I am sure that I know him, I do not know why

A warm feeling reflected the love he showed
we walked alone down the single lane road
I shall visit him, and I will make it soon
because I know that my hear

You leftI left you waiting by the phone
You left me standing in the rain
I wanted you to call my own
You wouldn’t let me share your pain

I needed you to hold my hand
You told me that I had to go
I sank back down onto the sand
You turned your head and whispered, “No.”

I sat there late into the night
You took your car and drove away
I didn’t call, it wasn’t right
You couldn’t wait until the day

I walked home with my broken heart
You really didn’t seem to care
I had not yet played my part
You didn’t know I’d find you there

You never thought to let me in
You never thought I’d feel a thing

Till the morning come's

The pain will go, and soon subside.
The hate will leave you; it too dies.
And I'll be right here, by your side.
So sleep

till the morning comes.

It's just a cut love:
smallest wound.
It too shall leave you,
you'll rest soon.
Lay back right here
underneath the moon
and sleep

till the morning comes.

I've tried so hard, not to hurt you,
tried so hard to dry your eyes,
tried so hard to give you answers,
tried so hard to ask you why,

tried to make you understand
that I'll be here to hold your hand.
But do you want me here
to watch you sleep?

Sleep until the sun is shining.
Sleep until we meet again.
Sleep until you hear me c

Shaking It OffProceed with vulgar implications
of the past you swallow alive.

Shallow oceans, hurricanes.
I guess you'll have to dive.

They say you have to hit the bottom
before you start to rise --

But all you do is lay and bleed
until the cops arrive.

Sea SerpentYou slither through essences of water
you feed on the funguss covered sea beds
you put intruders through torture
but then they come back to beg

They ask you to grant their wishes
but of course, you do not
the dark mermaids talk to you
your the reason most dont swim at night

You hunt them down for pleasure
you are known for being sly
you live amongst a sunken ship
immortal, you will never die

Your sharp emerald eyes
could kill one at first sight
thoes vampyre fangs that are infected
your eyes do not hold white

your tongue, split down the middle
and how I worship your diamond shape eyes
you are the monster of the sea
but I am

YouI know that I must wait for you,
While you make up your mind,
So why does it grate on me?
There’s no peace that I can find.

Your eyes amaze me; draw me close,
Steal my breath; caress my heart,
Yet the day for us is not today,
We’re very separate- so apart.

But I have made all my moves,
The time is yours- take your chance!
Or is it that you know I’m there,
Forever waiting for your glance?

The more you wait; the worse it gets,
To win me back- you know it’s true,
Because I need a real man now,
And that man Michael- is you.

My HeroYou lifted me high in the air,
Kissed and hugged me; stroked my hair,
Laughed until you cried with me,
Filled me up with love and glee.

You stood before her, took the blows,
Talked to me- you'd always know,
How to say the perfect thing,
So I would laugh and dance and sing.

Then one day you went away,
On that dark and stormy day,
She locked you up; threw out the key,
Left you with just hate to see.

'The man that I once knew was gone,
To see your face, it feels so wrong.'

Broke your spirit; crushed you down,
Left you with that constant frown,
So that all you'd say to me,
Is that I failed at everything.

She used you like a pupp

Our SleepbringerTake my hand and lead me there,
Sleep is what I'm asking for,
Throw thy dust, and stroke my hair,
Steal me as you have before.

My eyes shall shut for noone else,
You send to my place of rest,
And though I'm left all by myself,
I know you guard me in your nest.

You guide me from each world with ease,
I gather you have done this long,
You love to laugh and aim to please,
You're joyful as you sing your song.

"Rest thine eyes my precious one,
A journey we have just begun,
With your mind I whisk away,
Take you for a ride today.

I must ask you tarry not,
For I don't know how long we've got,
Until the dawn breaks in your land,
And

Curse Of DepressionI'll dig my own grave,
With my bare hands.
You're killing me slowly
But you will never understand.

Coldness is my new warmth,
And dark, my new light.
The pain is unbearable.
My heart is as cold as ice.

My hopes are shattered,
No life in my blood.
Peace is destroyed,
Along with love.

This pain is permanent
The days filled with sorrow.
Why have faith?
It will be worse tomorrow.

Melancholy and gloom;
Is there anything worse?
Why've I been blessed,
With such a solemn curse?

War

Literature / Poetry / Sociopolitical / Traditional Fixed Forms

Guns firing
Shells hit the ground
Bombs blasting
Why isn’t there sound?

Bodies falling
Lives drift away
Tanks rolling
And so ends the day

Another day of fear
Another day of loss
For months they march here
For months they cross

A never-ending conflict
A bewildering cause
Commanders remain strict
If only it could pause

The morals of men disappear
Their fears temporarily lost
Through blood and sweat they persevere
But at what price? What cost?

In the name of their nation
They embarked on this crusade
The fee of this journey:
A sin that cannot be repaid

Families at home can only pray
For those who boarded
And that they will live another day
Rather than die and be rewarded

Why is there war?
Must we always fight?
Is talking so useless,
To end this plight?

I just did this today for an extra credit english project.

Poetry is not my forte [but

's is! check her poems out!] so this isn't wonderful....I get so ticked about America's involvement in Iraq that it sends me off the deep end sometimes.

I'm not anti-American--I'll support the war [not paying a cent tho']--but I'm not for it.

I think the part about praying will piss off the school with the whole anti-every-religion-even-though-they-teach-us-them thing.

Eh heh....rambling again I know.

Please comment and tell me waht you think!

Thank you for the comment and fave! I'm glad you liked it

~LilyOfSeattle Jun 18, 2008

Wow, I thought that was really great! Totally agree.

"The morals of men disappear
Their fears temporarily lost
Through blood and sweat they persevere
But at what price? What cost?"

That was my favorite part.
