MCG's Dusty Poems
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' Said the pirate to the sea 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. |
