Stripped Away by BSS
I feel alone and abandoned
Cold in the dark
Hopeless and sad
Falling apart
Chest filled with sorrow
Eyes burned by tears
Body weakened by hunger
Long, sleepless nights sparked by fears
Thoughts are clouded; dazed and confused
Words do not make sense
Quiet and reserved
Lathargic and lazy
Emptiness all around
Shortness of breath
Walls are closing in
The hall draws longer
The door leads to nowhere
I open it and walk a few steps in
Then, the lights turn on
I finally wake up
But you are still gone
Come back to me
 and kill this dream

I wish I was there right now,
  with her in that bed, but how?
Soon she will come here,
  to take back my fear.
For she will be back with me,
  but not for eternity
  like I wish it could be
  without your part from thee.
Why does it have to be so hard?
I can't even let down my guard,
  just for a sec, like when we met.
From the start I knew you well
  and nobody else can tell.
It's just you and me here,
  there's nothing else to fear.
We will soon be together,
  but not this time forever.
We will part again as before
  but hopefully nevermore.
One day I'll see you again,
  but that time will never end.
I'll be waiting here for you,
  when you are back for me too.
That day will be so great
  and that shall be our fate.
Together at last
  without a past,
  like we never parted
  from when we started.
Whenever it shall be,
  for you to be  with me.
I hope that you have come to see...
It's all about the 143. 

Drifting Apart  by BSS
I don't understand
Why you held my hand.
I don't understand
Because it felt so grand.
The time we spent and shared
I thought it showed you cared.
The walks, the talks and even the dinners
Now feel like wooden splinters.
And to think how I believed it all
To let my mind tear down the wall.
To open up my heart and soul
Only to be weakend like a newborn foal.
The physical entwinement from within
Now has worn out very thin.
Being around you everyday
The thoughts and feelings have withered away.
The hopes the fears that were settled at last
Have now returned with a haunting past.
We were together again
Waiting for it to begin.
But did it really ever start?
For here we are about to part.
In the end, ask yourself and see
Is it or was it all about the 143?

Walk wistfully in shaded havens of existence
missing rays of suns jaded imprints on your skin
kissing whats within inside a shelter overlooking
a pocket full of gravel and bowl of moms home cooking
the gum on your pavement still has aftertaste of passion
laughter placed upon my ears, ringing chimes of satisfaction
a breeze in mists like cutting dawn
a slice of you used to know
unusual to feel the embrace of loaded arms
so you place your lips upon mine to silence any harm

Realisation,I've wasted so much time,
I'm making up for it now,hope you notice and I'm,
Open to suggestions, is being myself the key?
Correct me if I'm wrong but, you'll never remember me.

Well you noticed me, and I let you down,
And I know you tried, to question my frown,
Well you've got your answer "He's lost in self-pity"
Its over now and I wonder,
How will you remember me?

Sometimes I want to be forgotten,
Filled with anger without reason, my hatreds begotten,
If i were someone else, how different would it be?
I just hope in days to come that,
You don't remember me. 

Untitled by Jay
kaleidoscope dreams
jagged, broken
tracing my mind
engulfing my soul.
a collage of my thoughts
no corner unfurnished
long to be grasped
and more so to unfold.


kaleidoscope dreams
uncherished, exploited
kindle my nature
decay in my soul.
a memory outcasted
a daydream oppressed
long for a life
fight for renown.


kaleidoscope dreams
forgotten, diminished
no longer wish to be told.
an array of my thoughts
never conveyed
still tracing my mind
suppressed by my fear. 

Untitled by Jay
How can I explain myself,
When there is so much to say.
All about the wars I have seen,
And all about the pain.
How can you explain a child,
When no one is the same.
When mind is the body,
And Soul is the Life
How can we explain such happiness,
That we see every day.
In blessings of families,
And in other small things..
How can they explain what is good,
When all around is hate.
Tying war to assistance,
And Love to Enemies.
Such little things do I see,
For big things are not there.
A blessing for each person,
To stop them from despair.  

Untitled by Jay
We live in a world that's against us
Full of broken hopes and shattered dreams
All our ideals tend to turn to dust
And nothing is ever as it seems

What can we do to get through this
How can we survive week by week
No magic lamp that grants our wish
And gives us the answers we seek

But relief is never far away
Just look within and then you'll see
All have the strength to get through each day
Trust in yourself, that's all you need

Society tends to confine us
To something perceived as the 'norm'
But just being yourself is the best
Way to find happiness of your own 

The Perfect Goodbye by Amy
The perfect friend
The perfect daughter
The perfect girlfriend
These are all things she wants to be
These are all things she will never be
She conforms to society
to be accepted
She lies
to cover up her mistakes
She opens herself
to let him in
She sees herself in the mirror
never feeling satisfied
Always needing change
Yet she is beautiful
Her mind is corrupted
Her soul is stolen
Her heart is broken
She breaks free
Finds true happiness
in her love
in her freedom
in the barrel of her gun
This is the perfect goodbye 

Ode to the Ghetto Booty by Eric Bonow
Damn girlie is fine
Go shake dat ass conga line
Come here - time to grind

Stranger by Eric Bonow
Stranger, stranger that I see
I do not mean to stare
My eyes are unfamiliar to thee
As are my lips too weak to dare
To speak a sound before you
Too humble for the divine
Too nervous for a dream come true
A treasure I never thought I'd find
So deep are your eyes when you warmly gaze
That in them I could forever tread
I would bear the blunt of ocean waves
If by your smile I was led
Oh stranger, stranger that I see
If I told thee my life would never be the same
Could I have the chance to be with thee
Or at least share with me your name… 

Untrue Love by Rach  
Were you there the day the music died?
Did you want to hold me when I cried?
Did you fight to stand there by my side, when I was in despair?

Did you keep me safe within your arms?
Did you protect me from all harm?
Or did you win me over with your charm,
Running fingers through my hair?

Did you simply see your chance,
to get what you wanted with one dance?
You saw me hurting with one glance,
And decided to fool my heart.

And like a fool, I went along,
When we danced I sang the songs,
I never thought I could be wrong,
So I gladly played my part.

And now I lie here wondering why,
I ever thought that you and I,
Could fall in love and never cry,
Again for what we've done.

I'm terrified of the way I feel,
Now that I know your love isn't real,
I'm not sure my heart will ever heal,
Because all I can do is run.

I run from the future, but mostly the past,
Through the fields and the forest,so very fast.
Through the moonlight that midnight,
Has cast onto my crying face.
I've prayed that you would decide to stay,
that I could keep you one more day,
And that you wouldn't turn away,
And leave me in this place.

But I've fooled myself for much too long,
That our love was not a tragic song,
And I assume you will be gone,
No time left to borrow.

I'll try to smile when you say good-bye,
And wait until you're gone to cry,
You'll be strong and so will I,
Although I feel such sorrow.

And so I'll face this world alone,
Cold as ice, and hard as stone,
Until a true love comes along,
I've nothing left to fear.

But when our love has long been gone,
when we've moved on to the road ahead,
And I'm lying wide awake in bed,
Your memory will be here. 

Tribute To a Precious Woman by Lone Shadow
god’s precious gift
sent from heaven
blessing this lowly poet
with her loving presence
her beauty beyond compare
the light from her loving heart
shining down upon all
who are lucky enough
to cross her path
my heart is open for all to see
wanting to show you the truth
of what light you have given
to this lonely shadow
you’ve filled my once cold heart
with such warmth and love
the pain which plagued me so
melting away like ice in spring
oh if you could see through my eyes
if only for one moment
you would not believe
the true beauty that I see
that lies with your loving heart
such a precious gift you are
I would no dare trade each moment
Not for gold or precious gems
I am grateful that I found you
My dear precious angel
And I pray the god above
That he’ll let me stay
In the heaven of your presence
And truly know the wonders
That lie within you
Please let me stay here
Let me stay with you
