Love AddictHold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it

Doctor, Doctor, I've got an emergency
It seems I'm head over heels, a case of L-O-V-E
It's like I'm glowing inside
Yeah, a light I can't hide
And if this feeling is bad then I don't wanna be right
What I've got in my soul gives me the highest delight
Oh yeah it's better than drugs
In fact it's sent from above, huh huh

Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it

Hey, Can't kick the habit
Yeah, I got to have it
Yeah, I 'm what they call a
Love addict, Love addict
Hey, can't live without it
Yeah, G'on shout about it
Hey, I'm a symptomatic
Love addict, Love addict

One KissWe started out as friends
For years I never knew
Never really saw
The beautiful heart within you
For years you stood by my side
Held my hand and made me laugh
Never to tell me the truth feeling you would hide
Till one day you opened up my eyes

(Chorus)
One Kiss
That's all it took
Now you have me till "The End"
One Kiss
Now I'm smitten
Never again will you have to pretend

Like a true friendship
Ours had it's ups and downs
I adored you
I hated you
Now I only wish I'd knew
Eventually I'd love you

(Chorus)
One Kiss
That's all it took
Now you have me till "The End"
One Kiss
Now I'm smitten
Never again will you have to pr

Forever Doesn't Last As LongForever doesn't seem to last as long these days,
"Till death do us part" are just words that we say,
In relationships we waste our time away,
Forgetting to make the most of what we have.

So many days I forget to say that I love you in every way,
So many times I forget to hold your hand while we walk,
So many days I don't think about how it could be over at any time,
So many times I don't think to rest my head on your shoulder.

Love is getting older with time,
Romance has become such a cliche,
Feelings that once meant so much,
Are undervalued nowadays.

Love isn't something that's just physical,
To make love there must be emotion,

The Heart BreakersBrutal touches, kisses in the dark
I'm feeling it, tasting it without shame.
Slender boys, fattish chicks are all the same
Whoever they are they want me to strike!

I court them, cherish them and throw them away
The dizziness makes you feel astray.
White, Yellow, Black it's all the same
I'm just fed up with fame!

No I don't love you
I'm just into human kind
Whatever they look like, I see them through
As long as their hearts pound!

Boys, girls, whatever I don't care
For me it's just a game, just a dare.
They can be cheerleaders or broad jocks
Even geeks, sissies or freaking Goths.

Come on, join us! I'll treat you with care

Save MeWhen everything
Is coming down
Can you pick me up
And put me back on solid ground
Shattered hopes
And wasted dreams
Can you tell me
What it all means
Tearin' down
All of these walls
We find ourselves
Wanderin' these empty halls

I can't fall asleep
The nightmares keep me up
They tear me down
But it's not enough
These feelings are my affliction
Every moment with you
It feeds this addiction
Stirred by the onslaught
You tell me to breathe
With your hand on my heart
Could you save me

I see all the signs
As they crash in around me
The fog seems to lift
Yet I still can't see
I reach out into the dark
Trying to find my pla

The Love We KnewI know our time has passed
That our duet would never last
But my heart still dances to our song
Because although you're gone, you're my only one

I know you're happy now
I have seen that look in your eye
And my heart is smiling because your heart is smiling
Even if the one making you smile is not I

So please don't think I'm bitter
Trust me, I know the score
But forgive me if I keep hoping and praying
For the love we shared once before...

Maybe I'm crazy for longing for you
But maybe, some day you could love me too?

The odds are against the dream
But dreams can sometimes come true
So I will stand by your side and the pain I'll h

Measure and WisdomDo we measure distance
By how far we have traveled?

Do we measure gain
by what we have lost?

Do we measure truth
By the lies we have heard?

Do we measure thoughts
By how we are offended?

Must we measure at all?
Perhaps it is not to judge,
Measure or weigh out.

We should not accept blindly,
But understand not with eyes.
So it is to reason with the soul.

An understanding of wisdom
By a simple fool is most profound,
For the wisdom is not of the mind,

But of the soul.
An understanding of the soul,
Is a gift of Heaven.

Oliver,

No Second ChanceMemories of the past
In pieces like broken glass
But it comes as no surprise
In my heart I knew we would never last

I heard all of your lies
Still you've never told me why
When I wiped away all your tears
You left me alone to cry?

Well all the games are over
And all the lies are through
Although my heart is as big as the sun
There aint a place in it for you!
You took me to my limit
You had me in your trance
But when it comes down to you and me
You don't get a second chance!

Every single day I lived for you
Holding onto a love that wasn't true

I need to fly away
And leave you far behind
Forget every pain you caused
And put

That GirlWhat happened to that girl?
The one with the perpetual smile
Shining on her face?
Where is she now?
What has become of that smile?

It is broken now.

What happened to that girl?
The one who could put her faith
Into anyone?
Where is she now?
What has become of that faith?

It is dead now.

What happened to that girl?
The one with the tinkling laugh
Endlessly in her voice?
Where is she now?
What has become of that laugh?

Nothing but echos remain.

What happened to that girl?
The one that used to make him
So happy?
Where is she now?
What has become of his happiness?

It is gone now.

That girl faced things
That broke her smile

LifeDarker side of your mind
that you never ever tried
what you find, what you lose
is what you need to choose
through the fire, through the pain
you are not able to be slain
looking ahead for desired whims
chasing hope, chasing dreams
'bout the place knows no return
we are all gonna learn

ThornsYou want to be beautiful, you don't want to be wise
You want to be perfect in everyone's eyes
Disgusted with the way life's been treating you
You're not even living- death's got its cold grip on you

Aging and bleeding, tears falling- you're crying
Skin wrinkled and cold- can't you see that you're dying?

You love living so much, you're willing to die for it
But do you love death- are you willing to fight for it?
Sever the bonds that tie you to the earth
Accept your crown of thorns- you won't be the first

Wrap yourself in silk- you're perfect on the outside
Hide the fact that your heart and soul have already died
You act like you do

Await How I fallen deep into the mouths of dispair. How long have I waited for, knowing that there's no escape.

How I only wish to find a way. Now I wait till that day...

Much Like FallingThis cold's got me sinking,
This rain's got me blinking,
It's true
My thoughts are churning,
My senses are burning,
All I can think of is you

But...
Alone, I am walking
It feels...
Much like falling

But then I lift my head,
Your voice, it's the sound,
That reaches out to me,
Makes sure I don't drown
And when I walk to you,
My feet can't feel ground,
Because falling in love with you,
Is much like falling down

Your eyes are swimming,
With love they are brimming,
For me
Your lips, they are teasing,
Your hand, it is squeezing,
Because I am all that you see

Together...
We, are walking
It feels...
Much like falling

Becau

TrustWhat is trust?
Is it that moment of stupididy where one lets their guard down,
And opens their vulnerabilities to someone?
Why would anyone want that?
Why did I want that?

Is it possible
To trust again and again after so many stabbings
In the back and the heart and the mind by those I once loved?
Why would anyone want that?
Why did I want that?

Could there possibly be
A person on this planet who can be trusted,
Who won't turn around and break me like all the others?
Why would anyone want that?
Why do I want that?

Little DreamerI love the way she moves,
And I love the way she smiles
I love the way she looks to me,
When she doesn't think I notice
And I love her sparkling eyes,
When they widen in surprise,
Because I told her she was beautiful...

No, no, I can't deny,
This is the way I see her
She's got the look of a dreamer,
Who has been waiting for so long
No, no, I cannot hide,
All the tears she makes me cry,
Because I wish that she was my life...
I wonder if she believes in me?
My lonely little dreamer

When she walks, she seems to glide,
And I love to hear her sigh,
When she looks back upon her life
I guess she just longs to be free,
To live her

BoxedThere's a shelf up on the wall
above the toy chest and the bed
The box full of cigars he smoked,
their smoky memory in there somewhere

Now change- pennies, nickels, dimes,
A CD to commemorate the times
and a letter tucked into the case
Pen-scratched letters dancing across it's face.

She didn't care but what could have been
is enough to tuck away,
And eventually all those collected pennies
will be enough change to take back someday.

Now neglect- dust assembles and marches
across the border, slowly peeling,
curling the paper up into ugly arches,
and that smoky memory fades.

Now find- old breath blows away the smoke,

Mr. GrimSome people say they dream in color
Others say they see black and white
I dream my dreams in film noir
In ideas, shadows, and light.
I once had a dream I saw myself die,
And in a puddle of water and rain did I lie,
and a man stepped out of the shadows to stare at me,
as I was, at my corpse, with his gun still held free
in one black gloved hand inside a dark trenchoat,
black hair, brown hat, a thousand scars of emotion.
He looked up and I realized he had no face,
his features were a blur in the rain and light,
but they were bland and empty and hollow.
His coat parted slightly to reveal a nametag,
simply titled "Mr. Grim."

NewsI turned the old TV on last night.
Goverments are still having fights.
Newly-wed was slashed,
and a three-year old's heart had failed.
Another plane took a deadly dive,
Some old soldiers marched out their tragic lives,
and a few more teenagers were sent to jail.

A heroin addict was beaten to death.
The cops have the weapon but nothing else.
And the stock is rising, insert yawn.
Another shooting in the bad part of town.
They found the gun buried underground.
Worst of all, it was in a family's lawn.

A psychopath found himself a gun,
shot five dead and then he was done.
And a million more died of starvation far away.

This is a Love Poem.This is a love poem.
It's not a very good love poem
because I don't dot my i's with hearts
or doodle cutesy images on the sides.
It doesn't have rolling images
of romantic moons or meaningful momnents,
and it's lacking in cliched images
and oh-so-lovely-obvious wordplay.
It's not an epic, it's not a sonnet,
and I've not compared
her eyes to stars,
her lips to colors,
her skin to textures,
her breath to flowers,
or her breasts to fruit.
I haven't even said if she's pretty,
or that I love her for or in spite of it.
So what if I don't metaphor her into
a heroine of old,
or a fiery goddess,
or declare her my Helen of Troy,

Angelic DespairSometimes when I close my eyes,
I see angels. They are dancing.
And then the darkness stills,
and time flies,
and there are images prancing
across my mind.
Setting moons. Rolling hills.

People I've loved. People I've lost.
Sometimes I make mistakes.
Sometimes there's costs.

But there's always angels in my mind.
Sometimes they're especially hard to find.
They creep across the shadows
no longer bright in their beauty,
but a fright,
for they are no longer what I have,
but what I no longer have.

And so in their divine inspiration
They become my lamentation
And my nightmares are no longer
of devils and darkness,
things chasing

Icarus

by ~Revosh, May 16, 2007, 9:08:08 PM
Literature / Poetry / Philosophical / Spoken Word

Who are you, and what am I?
Remember me? I touched the sky
I flew too hard and burned too fast
Dreams like mine, they just don't last
I touched the sun on feathered limbs
I satisfied my wildest whims
But I burnt out, and I fell down
My body wasn't ever found
But don't remember me for how I failed
I embody all the dreams that've sailed
So who are you, and what am I?
Remember me? I wasn't afraid to fly.

I consider this my classic poem. I wrote it quite a long time ago.. but I still consider it one of my best. Human nature, philosophy.. Icarus was the boy of Daedulus the inventor. He flew too high to the sun, causing the wax of his wings to melt, and fell. Most people point to the story as a form of "Know wisdom and temperance."

I prefer to think he died just the way he wanted to.

Kissing the sky.

Gah I love this! This may sound weird but I'm getting a tattoo of Icarus' fall and was wondering if I could put this poem with it?

Well done. Managed to put my believes into words!!

it's beautifully written

~ayAvidor Feb 7, 2012

Cool take on a classic story. I like how you returned to the beginning in the end. I really enjoy the way the poem flows. "I prefer to think he died just the way he wanted to." made me like the poem even more. That's a great interpretation; it made me think.
