One Night's Reflection (A dedication to someone I love) By Wildwolf It's happening again... My mind is stirring with thoughts. I lie back on my bed, Room silent and dark. I know I won't be able to sleep, Cause I'm thinking about you. The throbbing of my heart, The thoughts in my head. I want to tell you, But when I get the chance, You're never there... I stare at you picture, Touching it gingerly. I remember you, Dark blond hair and hazel eyes. I want to call you, As a recite your number from memory. But I can't. Bravery is gone from one night's reflection... So I lie awake in the dark, Wondering how you feel. This monster of emotion preventing rest, Until I can admit to you my thoughts. Until I can tell you, My love...	The Hour it Rained by Jennifer M. I remember that night you called And we talked about the rain Comparing lightning through our windows I remember how dark my room felt With only the light of the storm And the warm texture of your voice Now, it's day and the rain seems wrong Maybe it creates love in another place For me, it falls gray, not the silver of that night Numb, fat droplets crash to the ground How bitterly they yell out your name! Echoing the hour I thought you were mine
Faith by Dizziedumb Am I the only one to see this creation here before me and thank the gates of heaven for it How could I be the only one to see all the beauty in you Psychadelic wildfire hair makes me forget I saw the sun and the thought of holding you against me brings tears of smiles to my eyes and fear into my heart I could so lose myself in you Can't I bury you in candlewax Can't I keep you in a jar Can't I hold you inside of me So you'd never have to go I can't believe I never noticed how bright your eyes can be even shadowed by heavy hefty drunken brows I want to be the one to put my faith in you (c)KALEVA00	Two Poems, To Be Read by a Boy and Girl By Jennifer M. This storm in my eyes Rain Rain Rain For a strike, a match, a spark To dissolve the nothing Opening my mouth Please come near me Refrain from your silence Taste the drops To eat up this nothing rain Come to me flame, I crave lightning II This flame in my mouth Burn Burn Burn Melting my reality Into fantasy singes This heart is ash Or soon will it be My ears are a desert And my hands have killed the moon My voice dares not to speak The breeze now sparking you Praying for a river, I set the sea aflame
Watching by Angel Of Death Watching All the couples dance In their romantic way They dance to a waltz As I take pictures The middle school romance Needs to be recorded I am happy for the couples Don't get me wrong In fact I am green with envy But I wish That I could have just a little bit of That sweet romance	Dream by WildWolf From when I close my eyes To their opening, I dream. Dream of other realities, So real, Yet so perfect. I fantasize of twilight. Thoughts long forgotten. I dream of love and romance, Which I desire. When I awake, I feel a new beginning, But wait for a new dream.
Untitled By Amber C. How can you want someone so bad when he's not yours to have? I see him there, next to me, so close, but we will never be. It's like the end of my whole world all because he's got a girl. Does he see her for what's inside? Is there anything besides that perfect smile, perfect face, flaws disguised without a trace? Does he even see me there? See my tears, or even care? A hundred thousand tears of pain, down my cheeks like summer rain, silent to him, over there, even as I sob and stare.	I miss You By Maggie The rain fell softly On our skin While neighbors watched us From within We danced and laughed And felt so alive And since you left I've slowly died The joy I felt At having you near Has long since gone And disappeared I miss your hands, Your face, your touch, The way your eyes Welled up with love You're everything I'll never be You're sweet and kind And made me see Without you I shall never know How to smile, laugh, Live, and grow I miss you
Red By Hannah A. The red swirls and dances in my mind. It is teasing me. My anger My passion My need for someone to love, who will Take away Some of this Red. It's in my dreams. A Vivid Red. I cannot look away From red pickup trucks on the street. My affliction Is red. I cannot leave a topic alone I must beat it And pick it To death. My fights Are red Red. Is me.	Long, Anonymous Why are my hands so cold Why is my heart pulsing Why do I feel this way When I see you Why do I want to touch you Spend eternity in the ocean Of your eyes Why does your smile make me melt Why do I want to come To your side, a magnet traveling so Long...
	Could She Love Another By Natasha "Why was life so confusing," she wondered to herself How can I be in love with one guy, but still find another so attractive? She gave him long looks and flirted with him all that she could, but the thought of leaving the other was completely unbearable She could not picture herself with another guy that wasn't him. She would not picture herself with another guy that wasn't him. Her friends told her that she liked him, but she didn't want to believe it. How could she like someone, but be so in love with another?
This Unseen Jennifer M. My heart is breathless in your presence Delicate, abstract wind Who has seen you? Everyone but me Who struggles with the mask of instinct Even without this vision, I feel the words and emotion You jar me awake with worry And graze my ears with your storms This breath, this unseen, torments me As I grope in the darkness for the wind That charms me, caresses me, captivates me It spirals my body, and I feel the half existence Dancing on my lips If I were to betray this mask and reach To touch the unseen, to caress This wind that haunts my eyes I fear my fingers would touch emptiness A chasm would surround my longing For the wind, the one chance that slipped Flying into the night, for fear of me No longer would I feel that iron vice Of blindness, But the horrid cold of sight Of an abstract, who's presence fled For fear of me without the mask	Cravings By K. Overland The void that fills my very being Is growing, expanding, unfed Emptiness hollows me I need you to complete me With your touch I settle for your sight Yearning for your kiss Your love Loneliness is swallowing me Leaving me in a tide of Pain and desire You own me with my love You do not seem to know it My passion for you burns unfulfilled And growing My unnoticed love remains "Acknowledge me!" I silently scream Caught in the throws of My own desire You simply gaze ahead Feeling yet unfeeling Soullessly cruel in an unintentional way I crave your touch But teasing fingers make the burning worse The cravings do not go away.
Can't You Understand? Jennifer M. Can you see the drumbeats inside my chest Or hear my eyes in ecstasy Or feel my voice waiting for you to speak? For one so perceptive, you seem not to understand I'm confused as well, can we at least Be confused and frightened together? I can confide in my ink and paper In my best friends…but it isn't the same As confiding in you, and making you realize For one so perceptive, why can't you see There is emotion gushing out of me My eyes, lips, hands, face, beg for you to react Maybe you can tell…and I pretend you don't Perhaps you can't feel the way I feel And I make you uneasy as I continue to dream Or maybe you do feel the same, but scared Maybe this isn't unrequited…I hope I'll hope until something happens How long will you make me wait?	Untitled By K. Overland I have a secret dream A warm hope Of a soft whisper In your perfect shadowy voice That sends chills up my spine. I have a private thought A secluded day-dream Of your strong arms Wrapping me in their safe embrace. I have a question. A repeating question. That runs through my head Why you?
Unrequited Love C. Johnson With a sudden lurch my world stands still Your presence here like sirensong I cannot think nor concentrate With you just across the room My heart is beating wildly now Thundering in my ear Butterflies streak through my stomach And my legs have turned to rubber My thoughts drift ever back to thee Transfixed by your brilliant beauty It feels as though I lived in darkness Discovered you, and all turned light A longing fills my soul As though an emptiness within me 'Tis but a touch I crave, a meager kiss A desire that shall never be fulfilled You go about as normal As if unaware of me My love seems obvious as sunshine Perhaps visible to the blind Yet still you disregard me With no feeling or intent Every biting word you say to me You thrust a million swords into my soul You wound me evermore with your flirting and guiles With open heart do I receive you, in return comes only hurt The agony of love Seems immense and mounting I almost fear I'll lose my mind Or never feel again I cannot wish to not have known you I feel for you too greatly But every hour of every day I curse The bitter sweetness of unrequited love
