The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Here are some of my other poems that I have on my own site, they date back from 2000, there aren't many and most of them were written for specific people, which can tend to influnce wording etc. I tried to put them in date order from oldest to newest but may not be accurate.

 

Feel free to comment good or bad.

 

Mama (started more of a song than a poem)

 

Sitting her alone at night

Watching time go by

Thinking of the way I am

And the changes in my life

My dreams are built on mindless thoughts

My imagination wild

Wanting it like it was before

When I was just a child

But I've come along this lonely road

And now I can't turn back

Oh Mama, why did I grow up

Without ever looking back

 

I need your arms

To gently hold me

I need your smile

To make things right

I need your words

To reassure me

Oh Mama, please come back to me tonight

 

 

 

Honey

 

 

Thousands of miles between us

And I never touched your face

But everytime I see you here

Things fall into place

It's like I've known you all my life

But I've never seen you laugh

It feels so strange to care so much

When we're so far apart

Friends like you are so rare

I just wanted you to know

How beautiful you are to me

I hope you never let me go

 

 

Fear

 

I gave you my heart

I did this without question

Without demands

Without witness

Now I lay tied to your string

Like a puppet waiting for attention

For your gentle hands to bring me to life

Don't let me gather dust

Don't leave me alone in the cold

Please?

 

 

See Me

 

I'm standing here in front of you

Crying out again

Demanding your attention

Just like I did then

I came back with all my trust

Handing it to you

You took it and you sold it

Doing nothing new

You hit me with my faith

And cut me with my love

You showered me in shards of hate

You threw from up above

But I still stand in front of you

Stubborn as a child

Demanding your attention

Driving myself wild

 

 

Trying

 

A cold wind blows

I raise my hand to shelter my eyes

The rain is harsh

Hitting me like shards of glass

 

 

The gust takes my breath

Stealing it to fire it's own passion

The roaring fills my head

So intense I feel it travel through my veins

 

 

I turn to face my assailant

Looking hard into the body of this beast

The tears fill my eyes

As it's relentless attack continues

 

 

I move slowly forward

My determination or stupidity prevailing

A small step is a victory

The slightest progress a personal acheivement

 

 

You may be Mother Nature

But I am the daughter of a dying man

You will not stop me

I will be there against all odds

 

 

I am trying to be there Dad

I love you

I am trying

 

 

Treasured Tear

 

A tear for you, would you treasure it?

Would you hold it close?

Would you see what floats inside it?

Woud you know how much it holds ?

 

It holds my heart in pieces

It holds the love I lost

It holds the dearest memories

It holds them at all cost

 

My lifestyle filled with happiness

The laughs, the fun, the joy

It holds it all, the goodness

I used to hold inside

 

I cried that tear for you boy

The laughter in my life

The secret to my fantasies

The truth behind the lies

 

Now you chose to leave me

So you should have what's yours

So take this tear and treasure it

And I'll put back my walls.

 

 

Feather

 

A feather in the wind

I drift and float

My rest is brief

A tree slows my descent

As I’m released from the grasp of the warm summer wind

Dancing through the leaves

I touch briefly so many different lives

And move on, because I am

A feather in the wind

Spiralling out of control

Touching, brushing

Never able to cling

I fall to the ground

So slowly but so surely

Almost there

Certainty finally

But no, again the wind

To toy with me arrives

Taking me off again

To touch so many lives.

 

 

Dream

 

It just takes...

 

One little dream to start the fall

one little dream to inspire them all

one little dream to smash the wall

one little dream to sound the call

 

One little dream to end the fight

one little dream to shine the light

one little dream to bring forth might

one little dream when you sleep at night

 

 

Trust

 

Trusting me is hard for you

You keep so much inside

You so much want to tell someone

What deep dark thoughts you hide

To pour out feelings long supressed

To share and lose your fears

You need to say how much you care

You just can't shed your tears

I almost touch the nerve you shield

You crave to make a start

I want to give you all I have

To you, a gift, my heart

I'll still be here when it is time

For you to gain release

To hold you close and hear your pain

To help you gain your peace.

 

 

Amaze

 

To reach for a star that's just too far

and never give up, it's the way that you are.

To love with your heart, right from the start

and promise the world, even though we're apart.

Your committment's intense

And doesn't make sense

But still you amaze me.

 

To continue to care, even when I'm not there

To lay down you soul, and leave it bare.

To want me so much, the intensity is such

you feel my pain and desire my touch.

I treat you unkind

You never mind

And you amaze me.

 

I wish I could make, just for our sakes

the perfect world, where oceans are lakes

And I was more sure, and could find a cure

Of why I am like this and appreciate you more

Maybe one day

I'll find a way

And I'll amaze you
