The World Eye See!

by Clarke Taylor Griffith

love

What's wrong with you, with us,
what's happening to us?
Ah our love is a harsh cord
that binds us wounding us
and if we want
to leave our wound,
to separate,
it makes a new knot for us and condemns us
to drain our blood and burn together.

What's wrong with you? I look at you
and I find nothing in you but two eyes
like all eyes, a mouth
lost among a thousand mouths that I have kissed, more beautiful,
a body just like those that have slipped
beneath my body without leaving any memory.

And how empty you went through the world
like a wheat-colored jar
without air, without sound, without substance!
I vainly sought in you
depth for my arms
that dig, without cease, beneath the earth:
beneath your skin, beneath your eyes,
nothing,
beneath your double breast scarcely
raised
a current of crystalline order
that does not know why it flows singing.
Why, why, why,
my love, why?

by:Pablo Neruda

My Dream

In a day like this, Am dreaming away as my finger fitting perfectly as i hold your hand...your eyes piercing through mine , while this cool breeze caresses in this moment, the moment that was made only for use, steal me away Thur this infinite passion, as you once stole my heart, look up at the sky as I'm not far away, we see the same moon in this comely sky, In a dream i saw you, and now I can't forget about you, Keep me in your thoughts, Love me in your dreams, for one day love each other , In Reality.

They Went Home

I are putting this peom on here because it is very different and it makes you think at the end


They went home and told their wives,

that never once in all their lives,

had they known a girl like me, But...

They went home.

They said my house was licking clean,

no word I spoke was ever mean,

I had an air of mystery,

But... They went home.

My praises were on all men's lips,

they liked my smile, my wit, my hips,

they'd spend one night, or two or three.

But...

Love

By Shaquilla Brown

Love is not just a word, its something you feel inside
Love makes you feel like your in heaven, but sometimes makes you cry
Love can make you do crazy things, and feel crazy feeling inside
Love is some what joy, pain, tears, and saying goodbye
Love is a good feeling, a stong feeling and some people just can't let go
But if your love is too strong, becareful he might not feel the same
you have to always remember your heart is like glass, you have to becareful it can break

friendship

we are friends until we die
we promise not to lie
we are bestfriends
cause if we stick together
well be bestfriends forever
we are bestfriends
your always there when i cry
your always there by my side
we are bestfriends
and well keep it that way
forever and ever
we are besfriends to stay

"One Life"

I only got one life.

So am going to live it,

Since you won't be around for much,

I promise,

I'll be with you until you leave,

I promise,

Not to cut myself or take pills,

So i can be with you,

To see you smile at me once again,

I promise,

To be by your side until that day,

Since i only got one life,

I want you to be in it no matter what happened,

I know it will be hard to see you leave,

But you have,

I promise,

To love you no matter what happends,

Even if your gone just remember,

You'll always be in my heart,

I Am By: Precious Haynes

I Am Precious and loving
I wonder about my future
I hear my imaginary friend
I see the sun light
I want to get married one day
I Am Precious and loving!

I pretend I can fly
I feel an angel's wing
I touch the moon
I think about whats tommorrow
I cry everyday
I Am Precious and loving!

I understand the consequences of life
I know I'm beautiful
I dream of being rich
I try to stay positive
I hope for the best!

Suckish Life

Things keep happenig in my suckish life
Im clumsy im lazy
Just stab me with a knife

Someone help me with my suckish life
this life is not for me
As it seems

My life sucks so bad
it makes other people sad
I hate my suckish life

People treat me so wrong
sometimes i don't want it to last long
I hate my suckish life

I need to be free from this suckish life!

Love Is

Love is something you feel
Love is so real

Love is in you
Love is in me

Love is something that we want to see
Love can't just happen
You have to wait

Love reels you in like fish bate
you think you love some one
well just wait and see

Cause love is in you and me

Blinded

Can't see where I began
Can't see where I end
Cause I'm Blinded

My future is right in front of me
that's something I can't see
Cause I'm Blinded

Blinded by drugs,gangs, and affairs
when can I get some fresh air
I can't
Cause Im Blinded

When will I see
See what's in front of me
Cause I'm Blinded

This darkness is killing me
my heart is beating me
I can't see
Cause I'm Blinded

What a child goes through

By shaquilla Brown

What a child goes through is hard to explain
like stress , abuse, rape and pain
every child has a lot of problems on their minds like
losing a mother from a six leter word
"cancer"
from smoking drugs.
the harder it get every step of the way
like geting killed and seperated from the loved ones you have
hoping they wont forget what had passed
now your looking down on your family and friends
now you see their hurting inside, their heart is burning and breaking everyday
trying to see how they are going to make a way
what a child goes through i can't even explain
it hurts everyday.

Whats the purpose of Love

Whats the purpose of love when your heart breakes everytime
Tired of looking for the pieces, i know its hard to find
Love is a happy feeling but it also frown sometimes
It feel like your whole body just shet down
Hoping your love will come swep you up
But all they do is make you cry

Dont wipe the tear from my eyes..its like they wanna see you cry
Whats the purpose of love
I really dont know
maybe someone knows
To be continued

I Need Gas

I need gas
I have no cash
Can you spare a dime?

My cat just died
My boyfriend lied
I'm so sad all the time.

I missed my appointment
I'm tired of disappointment!
But at least this poem rhymes!!!

By Ms. Louie, Adarri, Kayla, Clarke, and Violet

I WANT LIFE TO BE OVER

On the outside she looks calm
She looks like she's in control
On the inside she's falling apart
It's eating away at her soul

Her madness is rising
She can't take it anymore
She needs to scream
She wants to feel her head hit the floor

Sher can't fight these feelings and thoughts
They're always in her head
She can't feel anything
She lying on her bed

She staring at the ceiling
She looking at the floor
Her head wont stop spinning
She can't take it any more

She has the blade in her hand
She closes her eyes
She has the blade on her wrist
But she's too afraid to die

hi, my name is Amber Scott. I am 13 years old and attend ywlcs.I love poetry because it's away to express my feelings. So I hope you enjoy my peotry

Paint Me As I Am!

by Shaquilla Brown

paint me as i am
paint a smile on my face
but dont paint a frown
paint me as i am
a bright person
the person that i am
not you but me
paint me as i am

paint me on a stage
singing
singing from the soul
paint me as i am
a beautiful person
inside and out
paint me as i am
the person you see today and tomorrow
the person i am
the person i wanna be
the person that can touch your heart when she sing
paint me as i am
me and only me
that person will never leave
so paint me as i am

Bruises

by Adarri Rowe

The bruises
that's tattooed on me
they burn my skin it
hurts me deep with
no where to go nothing
to do. The bruises that
hurt the ones that's
tattoed. Hunger for
love care + help mommies
is gone what is there that's
left? No purpose in life
no purpose to love the
life I live It's like mud
slippery, stuck for life if i
had one wish it would
be to make this right.
