| Posted by: Lawless | | I was just sitting here, at the pc, feeling a plethra of emotions, and this poured out from my soul... thought that I would share it here.
My Heart
my heart aches
much at stake
love so intense
life without sense
in a daze
looking through haze
which for me
shall it be
roads split apart
inside the heart
is love strong
is it wrong
needing to be
with her... me
feel those arms
kept from harm
filling my mind
one of a kind
destiny it seems
awaken in dreams
needing her touch
wanting so much
feeling her whole
inside of my soul
together as one
or do we run
near or far
she's my bright star
life takes hold
shaping... im it's mold
twisting and turning
leaving me churning
inside and out
without a doubt
leave me to be
everything but free
come to me, please
dont be a tease
quench my insatiable thirst
pulled me from the first
only with you
can i seem to get through
this life of hell
with you, my shell | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Lawless | | I've been writing a lot of poetry lately... some very loving, and caring, and others very dark, dripping with an acidity to it. I thought that I would share some of my writings here, and there. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Lawless | | A SOULS REDEMPTION
Spectacular and sensational
Filled with an amazing grace
Pardoning my heart from this burden
The beauty of your angelic face
Save my decrepid soul
From the pitfalls of despair
Reaching inside of my deadend heart
A gentle touch... reviving care
My life lays within your loving hands
The balance of my destiny and fate
I've been forever captured by you
There's no turning back... it's too late.

| Posted by: Lawless | | Rippling effect through my mind
Filled with fears
Dripping down my face
Acid... in the form of these wreched tears
Wipe them away as they fall
Careful though so you don't burn your hand
The hatred forms
And now I must make a stand
You were a deadly toxin to my brain
And into my blood stream
Running in my body
Living inside a horrible dream.

| Posted by: Lawless | | Lies and deceit
All part of your game
Playing someone's mind
It's such a crying shame
You hurt and destroy
What someone took as gold
How dare you... how can you
Have to be so cold
Twisting and turning
The knife in my heart
Slowly, you were killing me
Your plan from the start.

| Posted by: Lawless | | DECEPTION
Out of control
Don't know what to believe
My heart or my head
Could I have been deceived
Were they lies or truth
How can I tell them apart
As doubt rips through me
Blazing and burning straight to my heart
Was I a fool not to see
What was laid out in front of my eyes
As you gave me more and more
Nothing but a pack full of lies

| Posted by: Lawless | | Rain falls... dripping from the sky above...
bringing memories back... of our once shared love.
Hearts race... skin burns with desire...
our passion ignites... we are both on fire.
Touch... sensual in every way....
freedom... together each and every day.
Completion of souls... a marriage of hearts...
through this we do give... and never shall part.

Feel my embrace
Close to your skin
Touching you lightly
Same blood... we are now kin.

| Posted by: Lawless | | The blood drips from within my hands
The stake embedded in my heart
Crimson stains across my body
My soul being ripped apart
A razors edge to walk
The jagged truth hard to swallow
Trying not to fall off the deep end
The inside is hallow
Web of deceit being spun
Around the body of life
Weaved with dark tales
Lit of fire and cut with knife

A careless whisper
and a stolen glance
Anything to have you near
and to have that chance
You've awoken me
from a slumber of years
Your love brings such light
and chases away my fears

Crying
Dying
Flying
Trying
Don't leave me here alone
The darkness wants to claim
Burning from the inside out
Rage... and uncontrollable flame
Come to me... setting me free
But, without your love, it's empty and dark
I need your guiding hand
My life brought alive by your eternal spark.

| Posted by: Lawless | | Falling
Drifting
Useless
Lost
Fine me locked deep inside
Aware of nothing near
Surrounded, smothered
Trapped inside of my fear
I can't feel myself anymore
I've become numb to all
Not feeling, seeing, hearing
Don't know how to stop this fall
Reaching out... grasping
Can't find my way
So maybe I'll just close up
Here insde my darkness and stay.

| Posted by: Lawless | | Cover up your face
Hide your disgrace
You're outta place
And I need space
Stuck in this hell
That I know so well
For you I fell
But I couldn't tell
Can't you see
I need to be
Free
And find me

| Posted by: Lawless | | Which road will you choose
Which path will you walk
Standing at the crossroads of life
And all you can do is talk
Seeking to find some answers
Which way does your heart lead
The road to the left or the right
One leads to happiness, the other...
your heart will bleed
Take your time, pick with care
For once you pick the path to take
You life will forever change
So choose wisely of face regret... mistake

| Posted by: Lawless | | TOO MUCH
I think I know whats wrong
Within myself, I wasn't strong
Letting you inside.... controlling
Acting like you owned me... patrolling
Watching my every move
Trying to find that groove
But, it was too much to take
Too late, realizing my mistake
Didn't think about it fully
And you tugged me like a pulley
Pulling strings... guiding my feet
But this life, for me, was too steep
I was drowning inside of you
And lost myself... feeling blue
Now I've got to find the real me
And set my spirit soaring... free

| Posted by: Lawless | | My pride is broken
Pieces of my life on the floor
My mind is shattered
And you've gone out the door
How do I move forward now
When my life is tattered
What do I do with all of these memories
Toss them to the wind to be scattered
I'm scared... can't see past me
These walls are closing me in
Locked inside the pain and fear
Where do I look... where do I begin

| Posted by: Lawless | | Slipping deeper in to despair
For me there is no more air
Her soul calls to me
mine hears
beckons to be brought forth
and have no fears
She settles my soul
helps me to rest
touches me deeply
stamp me with her crest
She claims me....
She owns me....
She loves me...
She lifts me...
The gentle breeze
that she does bring
gives me peace
and it makes me sing
Eternally
my heart is hers
becoming one
together
forever
her
me
us
we

All of that is poetic symphony .
You actually bring tears to my eyes .
It's so easy to see you are pouring out the very essence of your being.
You should try to have them published.  | | Reply To this Message

I meant what I wrote.
Most "poetry" I see are the authors "trying " to say what's inside of them.
You bring it out.......loud and clear.

| Posted by: Lawless | | I bleed as I scream
Torn apart at the seam
Burnt, shattered, empty, scared
Wondering why we ever cared
A soul left in peace
A heart that will cease
Stop the cycle, end this for me
Please, set me free
Release my soul, plunged into hell
A place I've lived and know so well
Disaster churns
My soul... it burns
Is someone there
Do they care

It is unknown
What lies ahead
Which path to walk
This one, or that instead
Where does the answer lie
Alone, together, seperate, forever
Find the truth, seeking justice
Painted signs giving light
Points you in the direction
To a place that is right
Settle within my soul
Bring forth your heavenly calm
Your touch... it's healing
My soul caressed by your soothing balm.

Which way to choose
Which road to take
Don't look back
See no mistake
Walk forward to grow
Find yourself where you are
The answers are there
Not written in a star
Inside yourself
Set free
Become so new
Happy and free
Seek with your heart
Lead with your head
Love with your life
Don't walk around dead

Here, or at the end

Don't know how

Crying
Alone
Dying
I've broken her spirit
and shattered her heart
I've left her without hope
and no where to start
Where does she go
To whom does she grasp
Will someone please help her
A hand given her to clasp
Save her
Help her
Fill her
Love her
Forever........

Your words are very much felt. You have a way with words.
Have you considered submitting your work to a poetry publication? Each year, a new version of the "Poetry Market" is released. If you have time, it may be something that would interest you.

It's such a personal form of self-expression. Poetry is like painting a picture with words. Some people are able to see the picture being painted, but some are incapable.
There's always a market for it somewhere. One essential book for professionals, freelancers and aspiring writers alike is: The annually updated "Writer's Market" They have a wealth of information and guidelines for querying publishers, then submitting your work. It's filled with contact information, too.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck!
