POETRY ROCKS eZine

After the rain, the place was wet
After the rain, the place was cold
After the rain, the place was dark
After the rain, I was upset
After the rain, the day was over

Heart contaminated

Worries and desperation

Eyes wide

Anticipation and desire

Mouth silent

Shallow wedge of sunlight

Mind weak

Shattered and cracked

Body strong

Built and healthy

Hands searching

For something to hold on to

Contemplating,

Disastrous

Catastrophic

BANG

Nothing

This is what happens when conflicts begin

But everyone knows only one side shall win

So who will it be?

Shall it be you, or me?

Whoever knows what is to come with fate?

All you can do is try not to be late!

As time presses on, and light begins to fade,

Stark sharp cries in the distance are made

As they cry out in the night,

It helps remind you of their fight, their struggle

For life.

BANG! You broke my heart                         

 A devastating disappointment                  

My Feelings are torn                   

I cannot bear to see you again

Until my heart has healed

Until that day

I stand here alone

Fighting my feelings

And one day, someday

I will meet you again

Ben/Evan                                                       

BANG! You broke my heart                         

Blowing smoke all the while                         

A devastating disappointment

Like an Erlenmeyer flask                               

I cannot bear to see you again

Taking a trip to Home Depot                      

Until that day

Trying to buy some tools                             

Fighting my feelings

Like a hot crossed bun

The ruined cow

Got intestinal ruminations and gas 

Now that’s interesting

I am feeling

happy, sad, angry, disappointed, beautiful

pretty, gorgeous, bold

Under my bed there is toys.
Under my bed there is shoes.
Under my bed there is closes.
Under my bed there is some movies
Under my bed there is book.
Under my bed there is DvDs.
Under my bed there is…………Underware.
