Inclined

I am sole and honest for you

I have no place to stand

So let me sleep a while longer

Everything I say can't hold you

My words are just no match

So I'll keep waiting for another year

Oh you are so inclined, inclined to realize

And oh, you are so alone

But I am here to whisper in your ear

Every heart I've taken from you

Seems to disappear

So I'll just talk to myself from now on

You're feeling so far and distant from me

I hate to say your name

So now I can pretend I didn't hear

I've told you before

I'll tell you again

This is the last time

Water in my mouth

I have nothing left

This is the last time

Oh you are so inclined, inclined to realize

And oh, you are so alone

But I am here to whisper in your ear

Darkness

I'm quite alone here

And that's OK

I like the quiet as my thoughts decay

I'm quite alone here

That's just alright

I'd rather be by myself than in a fight

I'm quite alone here

In this darkness

I can pray silently I guess

I'm quite alone here

But I'm really not

God is with me, reading my every thought

I'm quite happy here

All I can do is smile

I'm out of breath, after running for miles

Harmony

Sitting in a room full of sadness

Surrounded by people with no gladness

The ache of a heart

The end before the start

Leaves one the wonder

What else lies under?

A hope remains in the shape of a girl

Who was weak but now conquers the world

Alone and friendless she lies

But onward she looks, up towards the skies

With a sword in hand and a battle cry

She screams that the evil is going to die

For all the pain it caused and love it destroyed

For all the hearts torn and lives soiled

Strong she was born and strong she will die

Living with nature in harmony

Haiku for You

Reaching for a log

Fallen from a nearby tree

Lost and in the fog

Gently down her back

My finger traces downward

A heart with a dot

Beaches line the shore

Shells and rocks rolling downhill

Rolling up and up

I can't write haiku

Because all I can think of 
is "oh hai Ku!" too

The Distance

Breaking without destroying

Knowing without seeing

You've fallen without understanding why

Liars and cheats and wronged you before

But not this time

Now you have cause to seek

Now you have reason to feel

Back up against the wall

The one that held you for so long

But not this time

Let go of the wrongs done to you

Forget about the hate you felt

This is not your war anymore

You're about to lose yourself

But not this time

Don't look deep inside

You'll find something you hate

You'll keep on fighting then

You'll try to run the distance

But not this time

Poetry Is Hard

Writing poetry is really hard

This is all I've come up with thus far

I try and try to form simple lines

A start and end and maybe a rhyme 

Two pieces together to make some sense

Make up a story in the past tense

A little jingle to sing along to

Maybe a short bit of haiku

The story of a boy who loves life

But falls into despair and utter strife

A tale of a maiden with hair so fair

But died tripping on it, falling down a stair

An old cowboy who lives on his farm

Away from others, away from harm

Any story I would like to write

But poetry is hard...

Regret

I can't explain these feelings that have come over me

They took me by surprise like a mad dog suddenly set free

Barking and yapping spanning at your heels

Wanting to devour, to rip and tear, and make you his meal

It's an aching sort of feeling, not good, but not exactly bad

It's an itching a burning, knowing I lost what I had

I'll never get it back, I drifted to far away

But there is a longing inside me that's all I can say

She touched my life in many ways

She taught me to love but I didn't know how to stay

I'll admit my heart is full of regret

And when I said I hated her It was not what I meant

If I cold do things differently, right all past wrongs

I would change it in a heartbeat, one so long

Now when I look into her eyes, I see the same regret

I wish I could look into her mind, or to her heart be sent

But in the end I remember we are both God's children

He loves us both, and this is all His will in the end
