Well, i see a lot of people are doing this so I'll give it a go. Hope you guys like all the things I'll be posting. Please comment and feel free to drop on in at my profile!!! Okay, heres my first one.

"While I sleep"

The moon is high tonight
while in a constant fight
With the sun always rising
then day into night.

As i lay here in bed
dreams haunt my every thought
Zed break down my doors
and leave me here to rot.

This is a harsh world we live in
always in fear
But what should I be afraid of?
when friends and family are near.

I lay here sleeping
mellow and content
As my eyes slowly close,
and my heart beat desends,
I know that I have you
And the world will never end

Well moon, here it is :P hope all of you like it.

"Where does it go?"

It is morning
A day that makes us hope
As my gaze fixes away
My eyes turn and seem to wonder
Just where it goes
Everyday

It is noon
To remember my high points in life
As my brain stirs and thinks away
My eyes are closed and seem to imagine
Just where it goes
Everyday

It is dusk
A dark time indeed
As the sun sets away
I breath a sigh of relief
And i just simply wonder
Just where this world goes
Everyday

"Summertime Flowers"

The rain comes down
Drip
Drop
Over our roof
And falls onto the ground.

Why does this sadden me
when i know what will come?
Beutilfull little flowers
And the bees that will hum.
Over trees and under land
the moist ground full of mud
And when i come outside
I will see
Tiny, little buds.

"The Kiwi Tree"

High on top the kiwi tree
We shine in the light
Falling off one by one
without hesitation or fight

The kiwi man comes by
and looks at us on the ground
He seems to be disapointed in us
His face masked with frown

He picks us up with anger
And throws us all away
But really, what have we done
Other than bake in the sun all day

The trashman takes us cruely
and tosses us in the dump
hundreds of kiwis like me
Moldy, gross, and lump

Why are we treated differently
Just because our branches break
Abused, hated, killed, and dispised
The thoughts that keep us all awake

_____________________________________

Its sorta like a huge metaphor. I feel for the kiwi's. Comment Pl0x!

Ooh, you're going to be popular! I feel!
I love your poems, they're so moving and
have so much feeling! It makes me fly away
until I experience the poem for real!
Keep it up!

"A Bed of Roses"

A bed of roses,
A field of poppies,
The landscape ends,
To begin with clear blue sky.

No clouds to break,
This illusion of peace,
No sun, but yet I'm warm,

A gentle breeze,
But no grass stirs,
No movement but
The beat of my heart.

Laying close together,
But yet I'm alone,
A bed of roses,
A field of poppies.

Just a dream ,
The affair of the heart.

I really like this one. Its odd, never wrote with 3 line stanzas before. One of my bests I think.

"Blue Flame"

Dancing flames over my fingers
A sparkle and a flash
The heat sensation rushes me.

All of the beauty in it
What a sight to see
I donât feel the burn as much

It baffles me
I find that my eyes donât move
Addicted to the motion

It waves back and forth
To and fro
As the flame begins to shorten

No! Donât leave!
As it flickers away
Never to come again

This is great! I like the way you make the flame seem special. I like the way you contrast it against what most people view fire as: dangerous. Instead, you make it as if it is enjoyable, something beautiful. Well done!

Made by my iPod touch.. Here we go

The Man in the Heart

The man in the heart is a wise one
But also plays tricks on your mind
Unreasunable decisions and choices
Will make your body ache
Will make you cry in vain
Longing for the one you love
Never to come again.

Dedicated to Liz.

The man in the heart.

I got one.
It's From my brain.

Dreams

I feel at peace in slumber.
Illusion comes before my eyes in that moment.
The landscape shudders in my presence.
Imagination overides the world I am held in, with riches beyond happiness.
Suddenly,my joys are filled seeing the ones I love once more before they leave me with sorrow to take place in my heart from their depart.
I plunge in darkness and awake from fear.
I glance around seeing the truth.
Here in reality I am at peace for your dreams can over whelm you in the worst of ways.

Probably amatuerish compared to the Blue Flame and/or The Man in the Heart.
