.:Snippets:.

Well, I haven't written any poetry/songs to almost-completion recently. So, here are some snippets of recent--and not-so-recent--ideas.

We'll start with something probably a year and a half old? The rest are probably only a couple months old at most.

~I think I said this before
I don't want to hear these conversations anymore
Continual forgiveness of a reacurring sin
Is weighing on my heart {My heart, oh so thin}
My hands are tied
This forgiveness bind me to
Forget what I thought of you

_________________________

Had you been there
{Waiting for the smile,
Reassurance.}
Under my window where your shadow
Should be standing--
Then you would know

_________________________

In the beginning I was created
And now I'm allowing
Myself to become
Outdated

Oh, anonomous answer website
Do you ever feel wrong
In always doing what is right?
_________________________

Stop this pain
Stop this violence where it starts
It's spreading through my body--
You never said "I'm sorry"

Stop the deaths
The bitter gunmen in the hall
They are inheriting our misfortune
Because we never say we're sorry

_________________________

We dealt the same cards
Time after time
With the same result to the
Very last time
And why should we expect
To get anything other
Than what we already have

Okay, here's something else old:

This is the last page
Fill it as best you can
The man who knew too much
Knew when this page came
What did he do--
Knowing this is the last page?

And this next thing is not nearly finished. And it needs more revision.


The message said, "Wish you were here now
"It's the busiest of times,
"But I'm taking these few moments to write
"Like I told you I would
"And you know my word is good--
"Even without a promise"

Oh, how I wish . . . oh
How I wish
As you signed your name
That I could have been there

~To hold you hand
Fleeting life is precious, my friend
Never do we know
{This barrier comes to take}
Our grasp away
Oh, how I wish!
Oh, how I wish!
It was me there--not you.~

No response was planned
For you were coming home then
And I didn't know then
What now compels me to fill
All of these pages
With undecipherable, red writing
That will never heal
Your wounded sister, will never return
Your soul

~To hold you hand
Fleeting life is precious, my friend
Never do we know
{This barrier comes to take}
Our grasp away
Oh, how I wish!
Oh, how I wish!
It was me there--not you.~

And I will not wait until Saturday
To try understanding
What sewn faces can never say
And why the unspeakable happened today
Oh, how I wish . . . oh
How I wish
When God heard your name
He had a different plan


Oh, how I hate . . . Oh,
How I hate!
Time and distance
Heartbeats and breathing
What they will separate
And all they have canceled
