So, I figure rather than have several threads with poems, I would just make a big one and update it from time to time. So, let me know what ya think! Do Birds Dream of Walking? They say the grass is always greener on the otherside, If so, do birds dream of walking, while we dream to fly? To better yourself is one thing, Chasing pipe dreams is another, The road of life is long and winding, Full of pitfalls and treasures, Friends and enemies come and go, Loves will be found, loves will be lost, Accept the pain and enjoy the pleasures, And always keep in mind things are never as bad as they seem. And who's to say dreams are fake? Sometimes we all want to fly, So let's give ourselves wings, Take each others hand, And together touch the sky. ...And The Stars Will Dance Together, under the night sky The passion in the air And the stars will dance their sacred dance just for us. Lost in the moment, transcendent of time and space The night will never end, so let's enjoy it as best we can And the stars will dance their sacred dance, Passionate, Untamed, Enjoy this moment while you can, it may never happen again Losing ourselves, we move with the stars The tapestry of night a canvas, with us the brush So let's lose ourselves in the moment, Let the feelings overflow and swallow us whole, The star will dance their sacred dance and as one we shall become a star. The World Why do you suffer so, chipped by the slings and arrows? Why can't you understand that you deserve better? A pretty ornament, nothing more To be used and discarded, chewed and spit You have got to get out. You suffer for others and never take time for yourself... Why can't you understand that you deserve better? Taken for granted, your kindness unpaid Used and abused, by scoundrels and cretins You are far more special than you may think. So you suffer in silence, Damaged by the slings and arrows, Giving yourself to those undeserving You're far more special than you may think To the world you are but one, but you are the world to me. I Waited For You Here we are, together at last Our past a blur, a trivial concern You finally noticed, you finally cared Here I am. I waited for you. For years I was a plague, a blight on your rainbow Now I am the sun, driving away the clouds For every ounce of pain I endured by your hand, I promise to bring you happiness ten-fold I waited for you. So why must you be so cold, so distant? You never leave your bed, never whisper sweet tender nothings... I waited for you, and now we are together, but why must it feel so hollow?
