Post your poem but post a picture with it.


Two Horses


Today the sun dismissed the clouds
Although it nary said a word
We walked together in the crowds
Of butterflies and birds.
Two horses came a running
Their tails were flying high
Their countenance was stunning
Beneath the flawless sky.

You are Gone

My broken heart pines
There's a tear in my eye
yet the sun still shines
and the birds still fly.
My heart is gone...
stolen away,
Yet I hear a song
saying "love is the way."

The flowers still grow
It just seems wrong
I guess they don't know
that you are gone.

The Story of Lilith

In all the worlds of wonder
In all the fields of grace
In lands above and under,
There is a timeless face.
And the power of a woman
Is man's unknown disgrace,
He chose to want to rule her
And thus lost her embrace.

The world was doomed that day
When Lilith took her leave
And demons took the future
This you can believe.

For Lilith found her lover
An bore the demon seed
For her, there was no other.
For Love, there was no need.

Life or Death


When the Universe spins
And the north star sins
And the sun sits still in the sky,
We will laugh at our science
And declare our alliance
And decide if we live or we die.
For the darkness is long
And the memory strong
And all that we know is a lie.
We will look for a savior
To forgive our behavior
And a God to answer our cry.

But we made our choice
And it’s time to rejoice
And accept what we want to deny.
We have chosen life’s breath
Or decided on death;
And now it is time to comply.

The Dragons Tooth

You may worship Gods or gold,
For that may be your aim;
And until you're dead or old
You will always play the game.
If you knew the whole truth of it
It might spoil all their fun;
So the game is played in secret
And they lie to everyone.

And the lies, they always vary
So that no one knows the truth
And the burden that I carry
Is the dragon's tooth.

(The Invasion into Iraq)

The Pale Horse


The Pale horse cometh
Sound the drums!
The weak hearts runneth
The night succumbs.
Death rides sweeping
The desert sands
As children are sleeping
With prayerful hands.

Thanks Ladywind7 flowerforyou



I don't grieve for the dead

I don’t grieve for the dead
I can’t see the logic in that.
I gave up the feeling of dread
I just put on my thought hat.

Anyway, its all a lie
(that turns out to be a good thing.)
They say we are all going to die
So let their death bell ring.

This illusion is persistent
Or at least it seems to be
And I’m some God’s assistant
On a mission to be free.

I didn’t have to come here
(But there are benefits they said)
I celebrate the living
but I don’t grieve for the dead.

You are the ONE


The truth is Darkness, there is no light;
But don’t despair in dark of night.
You are the ONE to make it right;
Bring forth creation; embrace the sight.

The Love is ONE and Light is Life.
You are the ONE in peace or strife.
Bring forth the light, let your heart shine.
For all is love, and love divine.

Bring forth the light; it comes from thee.
The truth of darkness cannot be.
You are the ONE, there is no night.
You are the ONE, bring forth the Light.

To dream is life, and not -- to die;
Bring forth the light and live the lie!
For Light is Life, and Love, the breath,
Tis at this door choose life or death...

'Outlaw'

He glides with electra, into the night
they ride as one at the wind
The righteous shy away in fright
like the devil himself has sinned.

He thunders into the darkening bend
trails of his dust flying high
He knows what he needs to defend to the end
and he knows what he needs to defy.

He flaunts his freedom in weathered chaps
as he haunts the home of the brave
He smiles behind his shades of glass
because the road to hell is paved.

It didn't happen overnight

These things they seldom do

The stones are piled up one by one

Until no light shines through.


The cold inside will soon replace

The fire that burned so deep

And all that's left in this place

Is a numbness that lets me sleep.


No more tears and no more pain

No more thoughts of yesterday

Some are here only to help

The ones who've lost their way.


Acceptance has always been the key

The pain comes from the fight

I'll turn it off and in the end

Hope that I was right.
