poems... By: cara

All empty and cold The world goes in an empty circle Never ending, so sad Wishing for a way out In darkness and despair Hopeless and out of shine Can’t be helped Can’t be seen or heard Falling in deeper and deeper Always and forever Alone…

Does it dry up with the help of the sun, Like a flood Or bloom like flower After a rain? Does it put a smile on Your face like a mothers love? Or excite you like escaping Fatal doom? Maybe it’s happy Like losing a heavy load? Or does your dream explode?

I am a tiger… I can be very strong, Gracious, and witty. Tigers and I Can be very pretty. A tiger moves through The jungle like a swift force, like I do Through the halls. When I need to be I can Be fast, when I’m scared or when I need to get Somewhere soon. A tiger tries to go on Unnoticed so people will leave me alone. So others won’t hurt them to the bone. We are big and a sight to see the tiger The tiger and me. People wonder what all we’ll Do when you make the tiger in me mad at you. The tiger can be loving and kind. Just like me when I’m in the right state of mind. We mostly mind our own so others will go and leave us alone. The tiger in me is free run free the tiger in me…

PERFECT PLACE The perfect place on the perfect day. The beach, sand feeling so soft, comfortable, and cold all at the same time. Cool water, freezing My body at first touch then eases into comfort, coolness. People having fun, smiles, hanging out having a blast. A place calm, relaxed, where children play all over nonstop. Water slowing nice and slow. The BBQ luscious and great. Burgers: delicious drool dripping From peoples mouth. Laughter, horse-shoes ringing, water flowing, Birds singing, and dogs barking. Sounds feeling the air, Happiness and joy all around. Smell of food and water Capture your mind. Yet the air cools down so fast it takes the Breath from you, seeing faces freeze in shock, loud booms and bams Are in the close distance. Everyone scared and in despair for Nothing they can do . dag-umm rainy afternoons!!!

Dead Desire The feeling has left my body, Or has it gone deep within? Is dead desire protecting my heart, Buried deep under the skin. The love in my heart is something That I fear. To hurt you in this way of a tear, Such agony when we were separated. But, when so my heart is consumed by fire. What is this pain I am feeling? Why sorrow when you are so appealing. Are you a friend or are you a foe? Love is what won’t let you go…
