Robert Frost Cabin
This place is not as sincere and
Welcoming as I imagined.
'Twas a bit secretive and eerie,
More so than I had fathomed
It is watching me from behind
With it's screened and wooden eyes
That say to come, but never
To depart
Inside withered my thoughts
That were once in bloom.
Through the crack of the door
I swear, I was not afraid...
Bathtub streaked with dust
And the creaking porch outside
Spoke with bitter words
In poetry that still survives.

a chance meeting
i feel star-stuck!
it's so exciting, i'm so completely
filled
with
joy
i almost can't remember why.
i met him!
it's just incredible for me
english
class
today
he was there, he was there.
geoff gevalt!
the untouchable ywp being
shook
my
hand
wow, am i going overboard? no.
it was fabulous.

i'll give you stolen image
he is haunting, do not get me wrong
a deep and cracking tone
those strange eyes that have no point
but something about his inspiration
artistic talented ways
ties me in and will never let me go
thank you for letting me climb on

Have No Fear
I worry not, my dear friend.
Because I will not stand for a tie
Nor my being behind
I will conquer your nation of poetry
On this wonderful site.
And I will, in fact, defeat you
In this ongoing battle
Of YWP and English Class
I will triumph over you
And win this war.

the what
listen, this door speaks
wrecking ages of green envy
to overthrow it's beast within
wait a second, what the heck am i writing?
forget it, i'm still just trying to beat sarah.
i try.

widowing reflections
this is not a revolution
it is only a series of thoughts
that have dug themselves into a solution
like the roots of yellow birches and forget-me-nots.
springing buds of passion and fury
that spiral to a rock bottom pit
because there purpose does not serve me
and here, still i sit.
waiting for the moment where i realize i am wrong
in my way of preaching louder
of what i believe is love in song
yet, still it has a trace of fading powder.
because your words do not revise
or more so, compromise
for the heart that sits without a ribcage near
it has been torn in every corner, not so soft and nearing worser
you are wilting my peace inside this hole.

Favorable
No one can see it
It's an invisible knocking rap
It has a beat to it
But the waves never change in lap
Oh, it's nothing you can do
But it's something you can't see
Nonetheless it's the falling of your tap

Little Sarah Girl
There once was a girl named Sarah
Who thought she could win the war of the era
But I beat her in blogs
And posted my logs
Then I was the winner, not Sarah.
I WIN.

Sarah Will Not Be Victorious
Think, if you'd like, of your victory
For yes, all it may be is a curious thought
Because I am just like a runner
And you are in second place
Hearing the rip of the finish line
That my torso has just bounded through.
I am going to win the war.

Oh, Dear Sarah
It must be the
Maniacal laughter
in the back of my head
Driving me to have
One or
Two
More blogs than you
Like firing shots
I post
Spontaneous, stupid poems
But it doesn't matter how
Fantastic they are
Because I am winning
THE WAR.

With a Tear of the Leopard
Is this how it will be forgotten?
With a tear of the leopard
That lay in the corridor to your room
A leopard insignificant and alone
Is this how it feels to be forgotten?
If all you are is a shed tear
I cannot get up
By body is ice
Because I am the leopard

Cellar Door/Autumn Shore
Show the secrets of cellar door
Entrance to world beyond, no more
It's been shaken with power
But not the power of autumn shore

Listen
Submitted by Surgeo Church on April 30, 2008 - 18:30.He had inched closer
To the radio in his bedroom
White noise was blaring
But it had a monotonous ring
It was a soft, light hissing
Of words in another tongue
But he understood every vowel
Every consonant of the slithering
Sentences that grabbed his neck
And held on tightly 'til his eyes went black
Water began to drip from the speakers
Somehow enticing him
A bath had formed around the boy
He was on his hands and knees
In a trance by the whispers
That penetrated his mind
The boy stood on command
By the glass-shattering stereo
And he stared without purpose
At its immoveable plastic shell
The water then stood before him
Extending its wet core into arms and legs
Until it was what one may call human, but strangely that
It's body had absolutely no fat
It's thin fingers grew out into freakishly long
Fingernails while it's head gradually grew black hair
The eyes, deeper than the ocean, shined with a darkness
Which was surrounded thickly with more black.
It's teeth grew sharp and rotten
Along with it's forked black tongue
Which still sang the white noise of the radio
And it's skin was almost translucent in it's whiteness
It stared at the boy, eyes and mouth open wide
And a sinister, sinister, lick of the lips
It stepped closer to the boy, dripping water
And it screamed
It was a paralyzing shriek
Louder than any white noise lighting the background
Shaking the room it screamed
"Listen."

Xanadu
Submitted by Surgeo Church on April 3, 2008 - 14:51. Picturesque place where no man can step,
Drops of sunlight seeping through the towering trees.
Green leaves flutter in the forest breeze.
Forest floor living harmoniously with the beings.
Twilight hits the perfect lone dragonfly,
Sun sails down and appears the crescents shape.
But, when the darkness hides the sleeping divine,
The predator comes out of hiding.
Curious eyes see through the rustling branches,
Finding their now known prey.
The silence is now suffocated by destruction,
And what world is complete without destruction?
Xanadu is untouchable, unable to be found or created,
A lie and a dream in my heart.

B is for Besties!
Ariel; the moon.
bright when surrounded by the darkness of the night.
wise, all knowing eyes of graceful silver above.
pure intellect matched with a deep, grey heart.
innocent crescent of a shining smile to guide all below,
and always there to look up to.
Erin; the sky.
sweet covering, holding arms of grey and blue
never failing to see how great the world can be.

Here
I think it's fun that no one on here,
Has met me and it's all mysterious,
and unknown.
Because I haven't seen one person,
That I know on here.
But I still feel connected and welcome.
I like it.

Dreams
The works of my mind in the darkness of the night,
Come up with such interesting stories.
I occasionally have to write them down.
I create interesting pieces with these midnight subconscious thoughts.
When I do this, however, I feel as though I'm doing something illegal.
Because I didn't just think this up, my brain did without my input.
It makes me feel as if I've
Cheated.

The Gondolier
The cessation of the rain on that humid summer night,
Provoked me to surrender my loneliness to the canals of Venice.
I had been sitting in the attic of my dimly lit home,
When I walked creakily down the stairs to my front door.
I wandered through the cobblestone streets to a bridge made of marble.
I stood looking over the water below, dark and shimmering in the moonlight.

The City
Submitted by Surgeo Church on March 14, 2008 - 14:00.I, myself, have been to the crystal city on the water.
I have stood on the glass balcony which reflected back below.
I have traveled endless miles into the sky which this place sits,
Where the shows are the thunderclouds far down where we row,
Above the clouds where storms cease to exist.

London's House
The marks upon her skin scream!
Like nails on a chalkboard.
Cover your ears,
Cover your ears!
You don’t want to feel,
That blood pouring down.
Her tears are crashing,
She doesn’t want to return!
She will never go back,
To that home.
Where the screams still echo,
Where her cries were first called out.
Don’t listen to the walls!
They know so much more then you ever will.

apathy.
why does applause sound so quiet,
when you hear it from his mind?
he tends to blur the focus,
of all in ticking time.

FASHION.
MAKEUP.
tint the lid, shade of blue not so crude.
line the eyes, black as coal fiery heart.
apply the lips, plump pink oh so swift.
blush the cheeks, bright slow motion.
CLOTHES.
fit the jeans, tight and straight just in.
wear the heels, black sky high such a thrill.

I Live My Own Life
Submitted by Surgeo Church on January 16, 2008 - 18:30.I walk my own path. I write my own story. Go ahead and point out my differences; I don't want to be you. You are not living my life, and I am not living yours, so don't act like you're any better than me. You aren't perfect. I'm not perfect, but at least I can embrace that. I try to be the best person I can be by my own standards. Too bad for you if I don't live up to yours.

fake friends
Submitted by Surgeo Church on January 16, 2008 - 18:20.i hate the way
they smile and act
like they're your friend.
but when you turn the corner
they're at it
once again.
you're the subject of
their conversations
and not in a good way.
you can hear their voices
and know every single
word they say.
they lie to you
and tell you
they think you're great.
but when you're
not around
it's all about hate.
they point out

I Heard a Sigh...
Submitted by Surgeo Church on January 15, 2008 - 12:47.I heard a sigh in my opening line;
My heart beat was ticking like a time bomb.
I spoke my words unto the air,
And poise bled my coruscating thoughts.
Hundreds of ears heard my soul,
Spilled out like tumbling raindrops.
As silent as they were; my voice alone echoed the hall;
I felt the trembling excitement and hope.
But, oh astonishing audience,
Must I not think so much of thee?

Brother and Golden Lion [Poem about That Was Then, This is Now with a deeper meaning]
Submitted by Surgeo Church on November 5, 2007 - 18:39.Disbelieving.
Golden lion doesn’t yet know
What is to become of him.
Brother sits across.
Weary and dull.
Sirens faintly heard through their ears.
But lion doesn’t comprehend.
Nor does golden lion run.
But they’re here.
And golden lion’s cries
Cannot be helped.
And then on.
These two once like brothers,
Together again.
Pacing golden lion.
Caged.

the secret
Submitted by Surgeo Church on November 1, 2007 - 16:36.they’re afraid.
laugh it off.
but if you look again
you see a glimpse
of questioning
and fear.
they have to be a man
make it gone.
because they feel
in their heart
gay is wrong.
their eyes wander
across the room
filled with
laughter.
and they hope
that no one
realizes the truth.

CRASHING into a BLACK ABYSS
Submitted by Surgeo Church on November 1, 2007 - 16:12.our world.
is just a spec,
compared to the universe.
we are nothing
against the endless darkness
past the galaxies.
going
and
going
does it ever end?
is the universe
just a drop of water
on a blade of grass
in the next world?
are there more like us?
is earth not the only place of life?
do other intelligences watch us?

Gerard Arthur Way
His jet black hair falls into his face
A smile so irresistable it could make any girl faint
Screams come from the crowd, for him and only him
His hand on his hip, microphone in hand
Dark eyeliner circles his gorgeous eyes
Teasing the audience, and singing the lines
Tight black pants, and "The Black Parade" backdrop
Cannons and blimps are his backup acts
