"Commitment" by J.C.

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 03:30:23 -0400

Decided to be shackled,

Tied down and wrestled

For my freedom

When I said “yes”

I’m confined

In a space too large

To complain of

Too small to wander

Without wonder

Of what is beyond

"Regret" by J.C.

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:36:48 -0400

Holding back should be a sin.

But then again,

Once I say this,

and I’ve reached the end.

I’ll wish I never thought

to even begin.

Little light

Of existence

Somewhere out there

You guide me

Tell me there’s hope

And leave me waiting.

Shall my wish come true?

No, you’re just one star.

"A Simple Haiku" by J.C.

Dust accumulates

On the top shelf of the case

Of books never read

"Jealousy " In the form of "Hope is the thing with feathers" by Emily Dickenson- by J.C.

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:20:55 -0400

Jealousy is the thing that grows

In the gorgeous fields

Where fruit blooms

In perfectly aligned rows

It is the dark weed

That takes away from

The nourished fruits

Because of it’s fantastic greed

The fruit tries to defend and attack

But it seems no matter

How hard they try

Those jealous weeds always come back.

This journal I keep

Watches over me while i sleep

I know it won’t ever leave me

And will always listen to me.

In this journal, I treasure my thoughts.

In this journal, I confront my fears.

This journal has the trust i sought

When people only brought me to tears.

This journal holds all of my sanity

And lets me be the person who is me.

"Parents" by A.H.

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:14:41 -0400

Parents are just like the grass

They always seem better

On the other side

No matter what, when, or how

They will always be there for you

Even when they are long gone

You still hold

Everything they taught you

In your heart

And in your actions

Love them now,

Not later, not never

They do what’s best for you

Whether you know it or not.

Dear Invisible Pen…

..Darnit you broke :(.

"Don't Blink" by A.H.

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:10:47 -0400

You all think you’re right

Could never be wrong

Stubborn as a DJ

Who won’t change the song

I’m sorry this happened

Between you guys…

It’s funny how things change

In a blink of an eye.

"A Lullaby Sonnet" by J.C.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:32:09 -0400

Sweet little baby, slowly fall asleep.

Enter a dream world as vast as the sea.

Soon, your eyes will let your mind sink deep,

And your imagination will be free.

To roam all the mountains, so steep and tall.

To swim in glistening waters all night.

To walk through beautiful forests and fall

Into a world where you are always right.

Inside this wonderland, you are a god.

You can rule over the sun, sky, and moon.

You are not just a small pea in a pod.

It feels everlasting, but is gone soon.

Even though it is gone all of the day,

Each night, a better world is on it’s way.

“Fill up a Page” by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:31:11 -0400

Fill up a page

With happiness

Forget about your sorrow

Fill up a page

With happiness

Things will be

Better tomorrow

“Dominoes” by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:30:33 -0400

Not what you expected

Life just has to

Have

Perfect

Timing

When one thing

Goes wrong

….Domino effect.

“24 Hours” by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:30:06 -0400

24 Hours can go by

With a blink of an eye

Or last a lifetime

Staying up in bed,

Replaying everything

That was said.

Things change in just 24 hours

Even life or death,

Over which we have no power.

Too much can happen

In these short hours

Want it end, but when?

Sometimes you wish

That it will end fast,

Sometimes you never

Want to see the last.

Why the good days fly bye,

But when you are

Just ready to die,

24 Hours won’t go by.

“Tears” by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:29:34 -0400

Tears from the eye

Of pain and sorrow?

Or tears from the sky

Promising light soon

If not tomorrow.

Tears of joys

Tears of sadness

Tears for a boy

Tears of madness

Reasons come and

Reason go

Your emotions running

To and fro’

Tears are bad

Tears are good

Just simply a part

Of livelihood

Never judge someone’s tear

Without asking why

There are millions of things

That cause us to cry.

You all think you’re right

Between you guys…

“What Happens to a Lost Friend?” (In the style of “Harlem” by Langston Hughes) by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:28:11 -0400

What happens to a lost friend?

Does it disappear

Like a laundry sock?

Or fly like a bird—

To a new flock?

Does it stalk like on Facebook?

Or snicker and walk by—

With the face of a crook?

Maybe it just stands

Like a loaner

Or does it walk over?

“Love is the Flower Seed” (In the style of “Hope is the Thing with Feathers" by Emily Dickenson) by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:27:00 -0400

Love is the flower seed—

That is planted in the heart—

And grows slowly within, without a sound—

And never stops—just starts—

And sweetest—in the spring—is seen—

And tainted must be the rain—

That could stunt the growth within

That kept through other pain—

I’ve felt it on grow on the hottest night—

And in the cooling breeze—

Yet, never, in Extremity,

Has love been bloomed—in me.

“Zoner” by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:26:44 -0400

When you “zone out”

What do you think about?

What do you see,

When looking right past me?

Do you see now, do you see then

Or is it possible,

You see them

Memories, past, present, future

Looking in your brain

For some kind of cure

Whatever it is that you see

Remember you’re seeing,

Right past me

“All good..Or not” by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:26:10 -0400

It’s there,

In the back of your mind

Nagging at you

It’s all a show

Everything is good

You have to decide

Between faking

Or confronting

You’re not sure

But you can’t ask

Maybe they don’t

See it the same

Maybe you’re just

A good actor

Or they don’t care

You won’t know

Until you ask

I would say

Don’t be afraid

But,

I am too.

"Without Me” by A.H.

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:25:30 -0400

If you wanted me to stay,

You wouldn’t have pushed me away

You wouldn’t have acted like you did

You don’t need to do that

You’re just a kid

All you say is “I didn’t realize”

If you didn’t, you could have looked me in the eyes

I thought you promised,

Instead I’m not someone you miss

I thought I knew you

but I really don’t

I kept defending,

But now I won’t

I don’t know why..

But please, just enjoy your life

Without me.
