Mystic's Poems
 

I figure I would post a few of my poems that I wrote a while back.


Hero
I can be anything you want me to be but it's not your fault when I fail to meet your expectations
Hold onto a hand reaching out in the dark, don't back down, don't give in
You wanted a hero tonight but all you got was a pathetic man begging for a girl's attention
Don't let go, don't back down, remember the times when we were invincible like shining stars
Out of reach, out of luck, we climbed a mountain hand in hand over obstacles that stood in the way

I knock you down, you pick me up I can't be that hero that you are searching for tonight
Much to weak too hold onto a hand that reaches beyond the horizons
You wanted a hero but found nothing more than a pathetic boy begging for your attention
I pick you up, you knock me down, I'm not searching for a hero tonight, you're not my savior
Do you believe in the lost art of love making, do you believe in finding a hero tonight?


Breathe
I love the way your heart breaks with every injustice he puts you through
And how you always come back to me on your knees
Love the fact that I could never be good enough
The fact that you never turned to me when times are good
Was he really worth it in the end?

Can't keep bringing you up after he tears you down again
Holding your hand on those long cold nights
While you're on your knees begging me please
Darling tell me when will you breathe again
Be strong enough to live again?

Here you are begging me please again, down on your knees begging please
With all these injustices hanging on your tongue
Trying to find somewhere to escape from him
His voice haunts every corner of your dreams again
Finding nowhere to breath again

Can't keep bringing you up after he tears you down again
Holding your hand on those long cold nights
While you're on your knees begging me please
Darling tell me when will you breathe again
Be strong enough to live again?

Cant keep bringing you up after he tears you down
Tell me what it's like to be on your knees again
Begging me please while you are thinking of him
Holding your breath for his selfish pleasure
When will you be able to breathe again?

Just breathe
Just breathe

I will add more later. =)

Sometimes
Sometimes I wish I could
Be the blind man so I could see
Just how desperately
You just wanted me to look at you

Would you still look at me the same
If you knew what I had done
Would I be able to say
I love you the same way I used to?

Sometimes I wish I could
Be the one to hold your heart
Maybe then we would be still
Be walking happily hand in hand

A Letter To My Ex
Today, I found a pen
That was sitting on the corner of my desk
And with that pen I swore I'd write
A letter to my ex.

It said that I would never follow you
Off that cliff where you fell to your death
And I watched as your body created splatters of blood on the rocks.
Below I sat and stared in awe at the sight.
The crimson shade of the rocks glistening in the sun.
It looked like a lot of fun but it just wasn't for me.
Not yet for me

I am waiting until the giant sky bunny takes me away to a better place
And the rocks look so unfriendly tonight
Especially with your blood on them.
So I bid you farewell and goodnight.
I hope your head doesn't hurt too much in the morning.

SymPATHETIC apologies

It must have been nice to sit there with a smirk on your face as I writhed in pain at the foot of your bed
Tell me, does it make you feel more like a man to watch innocence die slowly, crushed in your hand
It was never enough to say 'I love you'
No it was never enough to leave the lights on at night
Just remember that I was the best thing you ever had

Old memories placed aside and left behind in faded photographs never meant that much to you
Those times when we laid together, your hand in mine as we fell asleep never meant that much to you
It was never enough just to say 'I do'
There was always a hidden motive behind romantic jesters
And I would always fall into that same cliché mode

Honey and Talc

Your kisses were as sweet as honey
Now they’ve become bitter as talc
And I can’t stand to hear your voice
Even though I already know the truth

Your sweet honey kisses turned bitter
Dry and bitter every time out lips meet
And I can’t stand to look at you anymore
I don’t want to hear those words of treason
But I know that you can’t keep them to yourself

Have you become that emotionless?
To let it escape through your lips?
Every time our lips meet you get colder
More distant and bitter with every kiss
Just don’t let me know that this is the end

I need to hear the truth, but don’t want to
We can’t go on lying to each other, we can’t
Just let go
Let go
Let me go

After all is said and done, remember what it was like to keep our hands intertwined at night
The way our bodies kept each other warm on those long cold nights, it was never enough
Just remember I was the best you ever had
And I won't say I'm sorry it all came, crashing down in the end
Keep this as a lesson learned the hard way

Paint me a picture
Paint me a picture of how you grew up
Show me why you don’t trust
Paint me a picture of how you grew up
And what happened to make you distrust

Show me a time when you were happy
When you didn’t have a single care
Paint me a picture of how you grew up
Tell me a story of those happy times

Bring the colors of your memories back
Make them vivid once again, if only for me
Paint me a picture of how you grew up
And what happened to make you distrust

Show me a time when you were happy
When you didn’t have a single care
Paint me a picture of how you grew up
Tell me a story of those happy times

Somber
You said you would always love me
But now you say you can’t stand me
That I’m nothing more than another girl
That all this never meant a thing to you

There’s too many problems to be resolved
Things that were never meant to be solved
Solutions that were never meant to be
But I still try to hold onto what’s left

It’s always been all about you
It was never ever for me
It was never about what I wanted
It was never about what I needed

Haiku I
"The Lovers"
Walking hand in hand
An arrow shot through my heart
Glad to be with you

Haiku II
"Tranquil Escape"
Gulls laughing near by
Water lapping at the shore
Ligh slowly fading

Haiku III
"Dusk"
Deer run in the field
Wind lightly blowing the leaves
Light fades into dark

Haiku IV
"Rushing Water"
Laughing streams near by
Logs fallen in the water
Water rushing by

Haiku V
"Snow Kissed"
White blankets the ground
Snow lays in piles unditurbed
Tree branches bow low

Two sons
You never had three daughters,
There were only just two.
Say hello to your second son,
Acknowledge his presence,
Embrace his new freedom.

Freedom away from his prison,
Freedom no one should have to fight to obtain.
No longer trapped inside his body,
Freedom to allow the world to see
Who he really is inside.

He's asking that you accept him
For everything that he has always been
But was too afraid to show to the world.
He hid behind frills and lipstick,
Every time he added more scars to his soul.

He's always been your son,
Trapped in a daughter's body.
This is not Goodbye to a daughter,
This is hello to a son.

Hello Alone
Was it a "Hello" or a "Goodbye"?
It's hard to tell any more.
Is it "I miss you" or "I never knew you"?
It's hard to tell.

Did you ever mean anything to me?
I can't tell anymore.
Did I ever mean anything to you?
It's hard to say.

Will you tell me more pretty lies?
I'm sure you will.
Did he mean more to you than I?
I'm sure he did.


Smitten By A Kitten
One day I came across a kitten that was caught in a paper sack.
I never saw such a sad kitten with green hair on his back.
Without a second thought I picked up the kitten.
From that moment on I was smitten by that kitten.

I took that puke green kitten home with me that night.
My girlfriend said he wasn’t normal but I said he was just an ugly kitten
That night as we laid asleep, that kitten grew into a giant
And smashed our house into smithereens

So from that day on I never wanted a kitten to be near me.
I’m still picking the pieces of wood out of me.
I run from any kitten I see on the streets.
I swear that I’ll never be smitten by a kitten again.

Dirty Blue Jeans

Dirty blue jeans on the floor
Hiding out underneath the bed
Full of cat hair and grease stains
Doomed to forever to be unwashed
Never stood a chance against that old grime

Dirty blue jeans found their way
To the back seat of my old car
Never seeing the light of day
Jammed to the back of my car seat
Poor little jeans, too smutty to ever wear again

So I took them down to Cleveland
And claimed they belonged to Keith Moon
Just so they would have somewhere to stay
So they told me I was crazy
And to not come around there again
And I was stuck with those old dirty blue jeans once again

The Spider
She meticulously spins her web of lies
Her fingers softly manipulate the strands of silk
Binding me to her side, making me aware of her deception
She attempts to cut the strands that make her movements known
But she only tangles herself up in her own web of deceit
