Alright... Though hesitant, I'm going to post some of my poetry here... I haven't written any in years but I have a lot of my older ones lying around in notebooks, on old papers, in old text documents, etc. I'll bold the poems so people browsing this thread can find them easily. You can search the index to see what poems are on what pages. Feel free to comment but don't use bold fonts because the poems are going to be in bold, and I don't want it to get confusing.

These poems are from various periods of my life. Most of which weren't the happiest of times. So some of them may be a bit depressing sounding. Also, some of these date back as far as the mid 90s. None of the poems are really what I would consider "recent". Thus the thread title "Dusty Poems".

MELANCHOLY FLOWERS
melancholy flowers
on a bright and sunny day
seem to mock the willow trees
as gently do they sway

The bees grow weary of their ways
The hoppers stay clear too
And so they merely sob alone
With heavy heads of dew

They sing about the fires
That live beneath the ash
That wait until the moment
When upward do they lash

The flowers only move
When arrogant winds do shove
And they shall never live to know
If snow can deeply love

The trees they shade too heavy
And the ground is hard and rough
And pleasant little showers
Never seem to come enough

And so they sway and sob and gloom
And wait until the day
The pretty girl with hands of death
Shall take them all away

THE BUNNY AND THE PUSSYCAT
The bunny and the pussycat
were having quite a fight
The bunny hit the pussycat
with all it's bunny might
The pussycat then dodged the strike
which wasn't a surprize
For pussycat's speed is well known
to those who's thoughts are wise
The pussycat then countered
with a look as if he'd won
But the bunny quickly disappeared
and the counter hit no one
The bunny dodged by jumping
It jumped so very high
The bunny jumped so high, in fact
He went way up in the sky
The pussycat looked up
awaiting for his fall
But the fall, it never came
No bunnies fell at all
The pussycat sat there all night
but the bunny never fell
And if you ask where did it go
Well, I shall never tell
The pussycat was puzzled
and if you wonder why
The pussycat had never heard
of bunnies who could fly

THE INSPIRATION OF INFATUATION
I hear you in the wind's sweet sound
I could lose myself in the you I've found
I write love letters in my head
And dream of you, when in my bed
Each day I know I smile true
When my mind is crossed by you
For every waking moment spared
Is one I wish with you I'd shared

DADDY
Daddy says he doesn't love me anymore
Daddy says my mommy was a filthy wh*re
Daddy doesn't know the way I feel inside
Daddy doesn't know the things I have to hide
Daddy lies to me about the things he does
Daddy lies to me about what really was
Daddy doesn't do the things that daddies do
Daddy has a lot of pain to put me through
Daddy hasn't liked me since the day we met
Daddy is a word I wish I could forget

EMPTY PROMISE RAINDROPS
Empty promise raindrops
falling on my umbrella
I can hear them patter
gently all around

Every time I hear one
I can still remember
all the things you told me
it's such an eerie sound

My umbrella protects me
from all those hollow raindrops
pitter patter whispers
filling up the sky

I can hear the thunder
calling to the raindrops
telling them to find me
to hurt me with a lie

Under my umbrella
I hide from all the raindrops
as they come down stronger
thumping from above

My umbrella has a small hole
it lets in several droplets
they will try to trick me
promising me love

I'll try not to hear them
empty promise raindrops
holding my umbrella
hiding from their sound

But I'll be here forever
standing in a puddle
of empty promise raindrops
covering the ground

THE PIRATE AND THE SEA
Why hello there me darlin'

Never have I seen a lass as bewitchin' as ye
And never will there be a body
that would quite allow
Fer me to ride on top as long as yer allowin' now

TATTERED DOLLY
Tattered Dolly
I remember
Once upon
A June's December
You were given
Wrapped in dressings
Holding in
A thousand blessings
Now those blessings
Have been spent
Like my mother's
Weekly rent
All that's left
Is cold and hollow
Waiting for
A pleasant 'morrow
If that 'morrow
Doth not come
You shan't be
The only one
Who will shed
A silent weep
While the snugtugs
Softly sleep
I will sit
And sob with you
I've tears worth
Twenty Lifetime's due

JOIN ME AT THE PUDDLE BALL
Let it rain on me forever
Till there's no more drops to fall
And the raindrops join together
To attend the puddle ball
So I can sit and watch them
As they jump and dance about
And sing of merry water things
Like sunken gems and trout
And if the sun should try to rise
To spoil all our fun
I shall sob a million tears
So another ball's begun

UNTITLED
Ever watch the rain
as it falls around you?
Ever let life's little
mysteries astound you?
Ever watch the magic
without wondering how
Ever forget the future
and just live for the now?
Let life's little wonders
set your heart free
Stop worrying about what might be
and just be
Don't look with your mind
Just look with your eyes
If you can't see the answers
enjoy the surprise
Live life to it's fullest
or don't live at all
You've only one life
you can live, after all

LITTLE STAR FROM AFAR
The stars above are lovely
but only from afar
My hands were simply not designed
for reaching for a star
I reached and grabbed, not knowing
but when I got too near
The little star was all aflame
my hand he wished to sear
And though I cried and begged the star
to please remove his flame
He simply did not listen
and his fire remained the same
And so I have to stay away
and stare at him above
He the lovely little star
for whom I'll always love

NIGHT
White and fluffy, clouds roll by
Sparkly Stars, fill the night's sky
Lightning bugs, that glow so bright
As they dance and play, such a beautiful sight
I dance and twirl, in the night's misty air
And the night plays with me, and lifts all my cares
Calm and cool, it feels so sweet
As the night crickets chirp, and hop 'round my feet
Why must morning come? And this perfection be lost
As summer destroys winter, and forgets of Jack Frost
But I will be patient, and last through the day
So when night comes again, I'll be eager to play

PLEASANT DREAMS
Fluff your pillow and close your eyes
And dream of dew drops in the skies
Of clouds so fluffy, pink and blue
And of love so pure and ever true
Dream of cherry blossoms, pink and pale
Let your dreams fly, on a golden sail
And when you awaken know that soon
Night will come again, and your dreams can rebloom

WHEN I'M ALONE
When I'm alone in my room by myself
And I glance at your picture across the room on my shelf
I think about you, your strong arms, your warm face
The way I seem to melt when I'm in your embrace
I read all your thoughts as I glance in your eyes
I feel so safe, all fear in me dies
You come close for a kiss, the wait seems so long
Then I awaken and the image is gone
Not gone for good just postponed for a while
For me to later think of when I need to smile
You're in all my thoughts to think of each day
To have in my heart forever and that's where you'll stay

CRUEL HEART
She says the things
that make me cry.
She makes me long
for the day I'll die.
She says cruel things
that hurt me so.
She says I'm wrong
when I say what I know.
She hits me where it
hurts the most.
She says I have nothing
to brag for or boast.
I do everything wrong.
Nothing I do is right.
She never is nice to me
she just wants to fight.
She says that I'm ugly,
old, and unkind.
She says that I'm deaf,
retarded and blind.
She makes me so mad
and she makes me insane.
Whenever something goes wrong
I'm the one here to blame.
No one could love me
I'm nothing to crave.
No one would want a girl
who can't learn to behave.
Who argues, and talks back,
can't clean, and can't cook.
Any sensible man would run away
with one look.
She tells me I'm nothing
I'm no one at all.
I should look forward to the day
that death comes to call.
I know that I hate her.
I know that she's cruel.
She talks and I listen.
that makes me the fool.
For she is the one
I can't run from or hide.
She is the one that lives
here deep inside.
She'll be in me
till the last rock is thrown
Though that person is me,
I wish she'd leave me alone.

MY PAINTING
Painting pictures
In my mind,
The stressful world
Is far behind.
I think not
Of real troubles,
But of peace and beauty
And happy bubbles.
I paint clean oceans
And a big blue sky,
Here no one's unhappy
And you never die.
The flowers always bloom,
The weathers just right,
And nothing is ever hiding
In the darkness of night.
The birds sing so lovely
And the air smells so sweet.
I wish i didn't have to go
To the world of defeat.
The world where skies are grey
And hatred fills hearts.
Where every thing's ended
Before it even starts,
Where nice guys finish last
And people kill for fun,
Where difference is a sin
To each and everyone,
Where divorce is acceptable
And abortion is relief,
And when we see a homeless person
All we offer is grief.
I wish that my painting -
The one in my head,
Weren't only a vision
But a reality, instead.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER
The lips upon my face
are for kissing only you
And every time I kiss you
it proves my love is true
My mind has just one thought
just one image it can see
And it makes me smile
when I think how you love me
My eyes are never happy
unless you're in my sight
I wish I could look forever
every day and every night
My heart can't keep from pounding
each time it feels you near
Which is why I know I love you
'cause it says it crystal clear
My body seems to know
that you're the one for me
Always and forever
'cause that's how it should be

WITHOUT DAY
The day was dark, So dark day 'twas
So dark was day as night.
And the dark, it gave to me
It gave me such a fright.
The fright it gave me made me jump
So high I jumped from fear
I touched the stars, and clouds and moon
And wiped from cheek, God's tear
And down came rain so hard, so wet
The rain it poured so fast
that all the land was swept away
as memories from the past
As I was swept I swam and swam
I searched for nearby shore
I searched in vain, for as I'd find
There wasn't any more
The wind it twirled, the ocean swept
It pushed me left and right
And I would search for friendly face
In day as dark as night.
I say 'what if, Oh what could be
If day is dark as night
Would night by darker than this day?
Or would it be as light.
Would it be much worse than this?
Or would it be as day'
Oh these thoughts they fill my head
as wind and water play
As my thoughts they deeper sink
and as do I sink deep
Sink deeper into deepest deep
in deep water do I creep
The water now is all around
above and far below
And as ponder 'why is this'
the deeper do I go
The deeper do I sink in this
This water that is rain
and rain above it pours below
as the heavens show their pain
'But why, oh why do heavens cry
and why drown me this day?
and why is day as dark as night?
and why carry on this way?'
And as I sink, and think and sink
I stare at what's above
and see in water many things
as cricket, cat, and dove
And wonder 'why, oh why is this?
Why are these things quite near?
and why do us beneath this ocean
not drown so quickly here?
and where is the bottom of this sea
and where are fish and squid?
and why wont anyone answer me?'
'Please answer', do I bid
But all I hear is water glug
and floating things float by
and all I do is sink and sink
as I still do wonder why.
'Oh why, oh why' I cry out loud
So loud 'oh why' I cry
and now, quite mad I yell out loud
and fist does shake towards sky
I do not wish this sinking sink
This sinking quickly down
and I do scowl, I scowl madly
My scowl is like a frown
'Why do you scowl? Scowl so?
You scowl very mad'
A voice above it asks me this
As if no knowledge had
'Do you not see this water here?
This water I sink in?
this water does depress me so
as if drowning in my sin
I wish it not around me now
I want my air I breathe
I want this wet to go away
This water now should leave'
'I see' said voice, The voice did say
The voice it said it sees
And all the water went away
away the water flees
And now I smile, I smile big
as water now is away
and out came sun, the sun is bright
not dark, but light to stay
And I said 'thanks', Gave thanks did I
For bringing day to me
And I shall give thanks every day
when sun is out to see
For I did not know how great it was
Until it not, I had
And I look forward to each day
For not to have it, would be sad

IN THE STARS
I wake from my slumber
The day is aglow
The morning is Neptune
And away I go
My emotions are Pisces
Sensitive and Kind
The troubling world
Is left far behind

I eat my first meal
And start on my day
The moment is Saturn
I know my own way
My thoughts are of Capricorn
Ambitious, well thought
My discipline helps me
To do what I 'ought

Arriving at work
My day has begun
My day is now Venus
I will reach for the sun
My feelings are Taurus
Determined, but warm
I will reach my goals
and with perfect form

At work I'm a ram
Onwards I charge
The day turns to Mars
My job is at large
My emotions are Aries
Pioneering, courage full
I'll get through this day
If twice my weight I must pull!

The time has come for lunch
My remarks will be best
My planet's now Pluto
I'll put gossip to the test
My retorts are of Scorpio
Full of emotion
Powerful conversation
What a wonderful notion

Workday's almost over
My work almost through
The atmosphere's Jupiter
I know what to do
My answers Sagittarius
Philosophical and wise
If I.Q. were a contest
I'd surely win first prize

The work day is over
Time to relax
We go back to Venus
No more PC or fax
My energy is Libra
I'm social, laid back
I'll be charming and witty
even make a wise crack

Time for my friends
We'll hang for a while
My horizon is the sun
Enjoy the crowd, smile
My actions are Leo
Faithful and true
I stick with my buddies
A real friend through and through

My friends and I go
To a public meeting spot
The evening's Uranus
Restricted I'm not
I represent Aquarius
Friendly and bold
People love my ideas
Or so I am told

The day's almost over
Almost time to go back
The night is so Mercury
So I must stay on track
My mood turns to Gemini
I have the power of two
Witty and Lively
In all that I do

Back home settled down
Now is the time to unwind
The night remains Mercury
As calmness I find
My mood swings to Virgo
Practical and shy
Eat dinner and wash up
Worries of tomorrow run by

In bed I gaze out
My window at the stars
Ruling the night is the Moon
Watching this planet of ours
My feelings are Cancer
As I daydream of love
And I think about Heaven
And the stars up above

Now sleep is upon me
As the planets revolve
Will the stars tell me secrets?
Will my problems they solve?
Do the planets control us?
Tell us who we are?
Or do we move among them,
Like a bright shooting star?

LONELINESS
To talk so clearly
But not be heard
To listen politely
But not hear a word
To reach out your hand
And touch only air
To scream out for help
When there's no one there
This loneliness
My only friend
I feel this sorrow
Will never end
I yearn for comfort
But get only pain
I hold myself tightly
To keep myself sane
The only reply
To my tear filled screams
Are my hollowed echoes
And my black and blue dreams
Will this hell ever end?
Wont some soul reply?
Or will this pain be my world
Till the day that I die?

AFTER DEATH
Did you ever have a dream
You swore was true?
Did you ever meet a person
You could swear, you knew?
Did you ever meet a girl
You knew was your mate?
Did you ever try a new thing
And feel it was fate?
Can we really tell
What's real and what's not?
How can we tell the difference
Between cold and hot?
How do we know anything
Is really real?
How can we know what we know
And feel what we feel?
What if the world
Were only our dream?
We believe it is real
Because that's how it would seem.
And since we believe it
To be our reality
It exists here
Within you and in me.
And when we all die
And fade from this place
The dream will be over
Then what will we face?
Will we see what is real?
And learn to live there?
Will we miss our dream world?
Will we even care?
We follow the flock.
For we are like sheep.
If one goes and does it
Then others will leap.
We believe what we're told.
And never ask why.
It must make you wonder
Are you prepared to die?

I AM WHAT YOU MAKE ME
Dark
As the midnight sky
That watches over the night
Unhappy
As the child torn
from his mother's grip tight
Tainted
As the blood that's spilt
On the cold hard ground
Fearful
As a rabbit aware
Of the wolf's closing sound

I am not this way
Because I choose
I am because
Of the words you use
The words you say
That judge me cruelly
Before you even
Know me truly
So eager to make
My life hell
Does my cry
In your heart dwell?
Or do you even
See my tear?
When you destroy
What I hold dear?
Now I am what you
Have made me
I hope you like
What your eyes now see

A HEAVENLY NIGHT
I rest my head on soft green grass.
Calm and cool beneath me.
My eyes gaze adoringly at the stars.
Set out as far as I could see.
The small bright fireflies tickle my nose
And the crickets chirp around my toes.
The cool calm breeze flirts with my hair.
As I take a breath of the night's fresh air.
I can hear an owl in a tree nearby.
I close my eyes and gently sigh.
This night, so perfect. Must it stray?
As the morning light should bring the day?
I'd much rather the morn' not come so soon.
So in this heavenly night, I may longer swoon.

SORROW IS MY FRIEND
Sorrow is a friend of mine.
It'll always visit, if you give it time.
It will sit with you, and hear you cry.
When you need to hear one, it will lie.
It'll say the things you need to hear.
And warn you of what you need to fear.
Sorrow's warm arms wrapped around
My cold scared body, safe and sound.

RUN TO MY LOVE
He calls to me.
I try to follow.
The hall is long.
The echo hollow.

I run to catch a glimpse of light
To somehow see my noble knight.
I run so fast, I tread so steady.
I long to greet him, forever ready.
I long to be in arms so warm.
So bravely I will face the storm.
His voice, it guides me, calls to me.
And I will face what perils be.
The way is cold, it hurts my soul.
Though I shall eagerly pay the toll.
I shall give my life to be with he.
For I know he'd do the same for me.
The thorns of time, they cut me deep.
And the darkness, it does slowly creep.
But I care not for such petty tricks.
Beat me with rocks, stab me with sticks.
I wont stop running, my pace wont slow.
For my love is loyal, and will always show.
