        <title>Maul</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71558</link>
        <description>Oh yes I must go maundering&lt;br /&gt;
To leave you to your static world&lt;br /&gt;
Watch me as I am sauntering&lt;br /&gt;
Haphazardly away from you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I cannot do your stationary-&lt;br /&gt;
I must wander as I wonder&lt;br /&gt;
What is true? This! This is not true...&lt;br /&gt;
When I am far enough away&lt;br /&gt;
I will look back at you and mouth&lt;br /&gt;
My true goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will miss you for your certainty&lt;br /&gt;
And rejoice that you are free of me&lt;br /&gt;
You know my personality was ever&lt;br /&gt;
A thing to maul you.&lt;br /&gt;
When we look back for the last time&lt;br /&gt;
At both relieved from the other-&lt;br /&gt;
We will murmur just as well...&lt;br /&gt;
Just as well.&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>I FEAR YOU</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71001</link>
        <description>On the edge of life&lt;br /&gt;
The turning point&lt;br /&gt;
My bed's a burial ground&lt;br /&gt;
Thoughts of last night&lt;br /&gt;
You in my veins bleeding&lt;br /&gt;
Crimson lips frozen smile&lt;br /&gt;
Woman I fear you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Walk away and don't glance&lt;br /&gt;
A pillar of salt you'll become&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a wealthy man broken&lt;br /&gt;
So many lovers my token&lt;br /&gt;
The proper properly nasty&lt;br /&gt;
Church girls being the worse&lt;br /&gt;
Woman I fear you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part three of the final four&lt;br /&gt;
This journey in loneliness&lt;br /&gt;
A cup of purification shared&lt;br /&gt;
Upon the King's bible I swear&lt;br /&gt;
His will noted predestined&lt;br /&gt;
Our state of virginity mutinies&lt;br /&gt;
Oh woman I fear you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are the weather mixed&lt;br /&gt;
Emotions on my pillow tricks&lt;br /&gt;
Lost out to sea prayers my raft&lt;br /&gt;
Close to death yet upon high&lt;br /&gt;
I speak well of you and yours&lt;br /&gt;
The family from which you seed&lt;br /&gt;
My oh my, woman I fear you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

            Looked again&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>Shattered, Dead Body.</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71555</link>
        <description>i wonder, when an animal looks into car headlights if it's scared? &lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if as the lights get closer and closer,&lt;br /&gt;
 if its body freezes and it can't move.&lt;br /&gt;
If it feels powerless and stuck in a state that they can't control?&lt;br /&gt;
 I wonder if how i feel right now,&lt;br /&gt;
 is how that animal is feeling?&lt;br /&gt;
Hopeless?&lt;br /&gt;
Craving for safety and security?&lt;br /&gt;
Wanting but not receiving, &lt;br /&gt;
The jolt that it takes, to free yourself from that state?&lt;br /&gt;
That animal might have a friend, &lt;br /&gt;
And even though it's trying to help, &lt;br /&gt;
Telling it to get out the way, &lt;br /&gt;
It's body is so numb, &lt;br /&gt;
That it's friends words, &lt;br /&gt;
Just aren't working. &lt;br /&gt;
That friend may think that what they are saying, &lt;br /&gt;
Is helping, &lt;br /&gt;
And that animal might be deceiving it, &lt;br /&gt;
Making it think everything's ok, &lt;br /&gt;
But really, &lt;br /&gt;
Knowing deep down inside, &lt;br /&gt;
This car is going to hit it, &lt;br /&gt;
And the friend's words, &lt;br /&gt;
Will float meaninglessly over it's shattered, dead body. &lt;br /&gt;

Which way is left peeking so right&lt;br /&gt;
He's got a honey of a killer tonight&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I had a choice the foolish winner&lt;br /&gt;
Would I go for hotdogs or reserve chic&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty wild and free life to experience&lt;br /&gt;
Or the always and willing glued to me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Young women falling in love&lt;br /&gt;
Say young fellow give me a hand&lt;br /&gt;
In and out her world is twice for me&lt;br /&gt;
Young women in love ain't my specialty&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Young women falling in love&lt;br /&gt;
Falling in love&lt;br /&gt;
Falling in love&lt;br /&gt;
Falling in love&lt;br /&gt;
Young lovers ever so restless&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>Sadness</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71554</link>
        <description>It kills when your dad seems sad to see you. &lt;br /&gt;
But what kills more, &lt;br /&gt;
Is when you know the reason why. &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;you look just like your mum&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
he tells me. &lt;br /&gt;
It sad when you realise,&lt;br /&gt;
That you get along better with your brother, &lt;br /&gt;
Now that you don't live with him. &lt;br /&gt;
It's sad when you feel like your the only one,&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to be happy in a shit situation. &lt;br /&gt;
It's sad when you finally realise, &lt;br /&gt;
That you being happy, &lt;br /&gt;
Doesn't change things like you thought it would. &lt;br /&gt;
It's sad, when things just don't seem to be getting any better. &lt;br /&gt;

        <title>Family.</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71553</link>
        <description>i want my family back, &lt;br /&gt;
i want that sense of security that it brings. &lt;br /&gt;
i want the feeling that what i return home to,&lt;br /&gt;
is something happy,&lt;br /&gt;
something that i belong to.&lt;br /&gt;
Not a house the reeks of history that isn't mine.&lt;br /&gt;
i wear a key,&lt;br /&gt;
and a dolphin around my neck.&lt;br /&gt;
My mum and my dad, together.&lt;br /&gt;
It rests above my heart, &lt;br /&gt;
and it's the last remnants of my family. &lt;br /&gt;
Every morning, &lt;br /&gt;
Just before I open my eyes, &lt;br /&gt;
I wish that they will open to my room,&lt;br /&gt;
and be in the house that has my sense of family.&lt;br /&gt;
But every morning, &lt;br /&gt;
just before i open them,&lt;br /&gt;
I know it won't happen,&lt;br /&gt;
I know, that it will never be the same.&lt;br /&gt;

        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71552</link>
        <description>You say I look pretty I disagree&lt;br /&gt;
If it were true you would be with me&lt;br /&gt;
You say I’m funny I just blush&lt;br /&gt;
I love it when you say hush&lt;br /&gt;
You say we were ment to be&lt;br /&gt;
I give you a kiss and you say see&lt;br /&gt;
When watching a movie your arm pops behind me&lt;br /&gt;
I move up I nearly sit on your knee&lt;br /&gt;
That hug you give me gives me butterflies&lt;br /&gt;
When you leave I just sigh&lt;br /&gt;
But why&lt;br /&gt;
Because you’re the one I love&lt;br /&gt;
I know you know it too&lt;br /&gt;
You say baby don’t cry&lt;br /&gt;
I say well I can’t lie&lt;br /&gt;
My feelings for you are true&lt;br /&gt;
You say and I love u too &lt;br /&gt;

        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71551</link>
        <description>I got a call from my oldest, Johnny,&lt;br /&gt;
The big-shot lawyer, the one with&lt;br /&gt;
The yacht.  He was crying.  He told&lt;br /&gt;
Me he lost his job.  He wanted to&lt;br /&gt;
Know if I'd spot him some cash.&lt;br /&gt;
I said I'd see, then I hung up and&lt;br /&gt;
Wondered.  The world has changed,&lt;br /&gt;
A couple times over, since we were&lt;br /&gt;
His age.  I wanted to laugh.  When&lt;br /&gt;
We got out of high school, we didn't&lt;br /&gt;
Have college.  We went to the union,&lt;br /&gt;
And got on the line, bolting up Chevys&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn't so bad, and, when we'd leave &lt;br /&gt;
At night, we'd see acres of cars, proof &lt;br /&gt;
Of our worth, a world made richer by &lt;br /&gt;
Things that the bunch of us numb-skulls &lt;br /&gt;
Had made.  But that boy wanted none&lt;br /&gt;
Of it.  He was too smart.  “Nobody&lt;br /&gt;
Gets rich making things anymore,”&lt;br /&gt;
So went off to college, and law&lt;br /&gt;
School.  He learned to move paper&lt;br /&gt;
For money, and kept his hands clean.&lt;br /&gt;
When he came to the house, he&lt;br /&gt;
Would act like a nobleman, turning&lt;br /&gt;
Down dinner, sneering at Molly and&lt;br /&gt;
Me, and bragging.  “Just look at this &lt;br /&gt;
Watch.  It's platinum, from&lt;br /&gt;
Switzerland, Dad, and my car.&lt;br /&gt;
Is no Chevy.  It's German.”  His wife&lt;br /&gt;
And his kids would sit, bored, in&lt;br /&gt;
The living room, waiting to go.&lt;br /&gt;
You and I, Johnny, were lucky.  We&lt;br /&gt;
Made it to sixty at work, and went&lt;br /&gt;
Home with our pensions.  Others&lt;br /&gt;
Were laid off, and, now, the plant's&lt;br /&gt;
Closed.  Cars come from Mexico,&lt;br /&gt;
Parts from Japan.  They don't make&lt;br /&gt;
A damned thing around here anymore, &lt;br /&gt;
But my son didn't care.  He just kept &lt;br /&gt;
Moving paper.  The country grew poor.&lt;br /&gt;
They cut back our pensions, and&lt;br /&gt;
Those who are working, well, they&lt;br /&gt;
Work for shit, bagging groceries or&lt;br /&gt;
Cleaning the homes of the rich.  Finally, &lt;br /&gt;
Now, having eaten the people, like us, &lt;br /&gt;
Who had made things, and what we &lt;br /&gt;
Had made, all those lawyers and brokers &lt;br /&gt;
Have run out of food.  They're consuming&lt;br /&gt;
Each other.  Too bad for my son, but, &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny, I still want to laugh.</description>

        <title>Glass Beads</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71550</link>
        <description>When I was a child&lt;br /&gt;
I thought glass beads&lt;br /&gt;
were just as beautiful as priceless gems—&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that rubies were rare&lt;br /&gt;
to me did not make them dazzle more,&lt;br /&gt;
did not make them delight more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I thought glass beads&lt;br /&gt;
were the stars dropped down,&lt;br /&gt;
tired of illuminating the sky&lt;br /&gt;
and seeking a place to sojourn&lt;br /&gt;
when the brightest star of all&lt;br /&gt;
outshone them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the stars dropped down&lt;br /&gt;
just to make me happy.&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, and the fireflies of summer,&lt;br /&gt;
surely had frozen in the night&lt;br /&gt;
and congealed to amber-toned&lt;br /&gt;
opals and topazes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just to make me happy.&lt;br /&gt;
When I see real jewels,&lt;br /&gt;
the ones men commit crimes for,&lt;br /&gt;
I remember the time when all shiny things&lt;br /&gt;
seemed precious to me,&lt;br /&gt;
when their value lay&lt;br /&gt;
in their ability to inspire wonder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I see real jewels,&lt;br /&gt;
I see glass beads,&lt;br /&gt;
and when I see glass beads,&lt;br /&gt;
I see fireflies and stars&lt;br /&gt;
and all things that children&lt;br /&gt;
know are far more valuable&lt;br /&gt;
than rubies and diamonds.&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>I\'LL LET YOU SEE ME CRY</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71003</link>
        <description>I could repeat whatever love wants to say&lt;br /&gt;
About my pride in a Las Vegas kind of way&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betting all odds that stand before me&lt;br /&gt;
Against her better judgment I close and fold&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war I fight within queen and country&lt;br /&gt;
Victory or defeat your heart and soul's sentry&lt;br /&gt;
Finally this is who I am excuse the tears I weep&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll let you see me cry my love&lt;br /&gt;
Long love letters and clever talk&lt;br /&gt;
Fade away roses slumbering baby's breath&lt;br /&gt;
Disarm this shell of needing you&lt;br /&gt;
Baby I'll let you see me cry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I could repeat whatever love wants to say&lt;br /&gt;
About my pride in a Las Vegas kind of way&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betting all odds that stand before me&lt;br /&gt;
Against her better judgment I close and fold&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anger don't push her away, no not this time&lt;br /&gt;
Angels take your places a dollar to a dime&lt;br /&gt;
To hurt her an unforgivable crime&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll let you see me cry my love&lt;br /&gt;
Long love letters and clever talk&lt;br /&gt;
Fade away roses slumbering baby's breath&lt;br /&gt;
Disarm this shell of needing you &lt;br /&gt;
Baby I'll let you see me cry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The man child in me&lt;br /&gt;
Will let you see me cry&lt;br /&gt;
Tenderness wants to hide&lt;br /&gt;
You can see me cry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I could repeat my head&lt;br /&gt;
Forgetting heart to heart&lt;br /&gt;
A crying man is still a man&lt;br /&gt;
So I'll let you see me cry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(I'll let you see me cry)&lt;br /&gt;
(Let you see me cry)&lt;br /&gt;
(You can see me cry)&lt;br /&gt;
I'll let you see me cry!&lt;br /&gt;

        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71549</link>
        <description>it must be&lt;br /&gt;
twenty years or so&lt;br /&gt;
since I was here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
twenty years since&lt;br /&gt;
I held her hand&lt;br /&gt;
before what was to be&lt;br /&gt;
unbeknown to me&lt;br /&gt;
her longest sleep&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
we had talked&lt;br /&gt;
about our kids&lt;br /&gt;
and the future&lt;br /&gt;
without her protection&lt;br /&gt;
that had cost her dear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
if only I had known&lt;br /&gt;
that those pains&lt;br /&gt;
in her head&lt;br /&gt;
no optician could solve&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
perhaps I could have been &lt;br /&gt;
quicker&lt;br /&gt;
more pushy&lt;br /&gt;
about her going&lt;br /&gt;
for a check-up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but she was&lt;br /&gt;
a free spirit&lt;br /&gt;
impossible to move&lt;br /&gt;
when her mind &lt;br /&gt;
was made up&lt;br /&gt;
her Mum's shopping&lt;br /&gt;
her grandson growing&lt;br /&gt;
big and strong&lt;br /&gt;
my damned typing&lt;br /&gt;
all came first&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
so here we were&lt;br /&gt;
her thanking me&lt;br /&gt;
me thanking her&lt;br /&gt;
hand in hand&lt;br /&gt;
side by side&lt;br /&gt;
as the light&lt;br /&gt;
flickered out&lt;br /&gt;
or did just a bit&lt;br /&gt;
of it transfer &lt;br /&gt;
to me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I lost&lt;br /&gt;
and found&lt;br /&gt;
the dearest friend&lt;br /&gt;
that January morning</description>

        <title>My Haunting Death</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71545</link>
        <description>Watching down on myself shivering in fetal&lt;br /&gt;
as I'm rapidly going through the cycle of life&lt;br /&gt;
From death to birth and the other way around&lt;br /&gt;
seeing myself rot, anguished by the strife&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed that my destiny&lt;br /&gt;
was to repeat this agony&lt;br /&gt;
as the reappearing image of myself dying&lt;br /&gt;
was breaking the core of me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The never-ending visual&lt;br /&gt;
of ones birth and death&lt;br /&gt;
Experiencing oneself&lt;br /&gt;
taking the last breath&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It haunts to know the feeling of&lt;br /&gt;
when your body and soul dies&lt;br /&gt;
An image resurfacing&lt;br /&gt;
as soon as you close your eyes</description>

(well worn) blunt-edged butter knives&lt;br /&gt;

on freshly overtoasted slices of multigrain loaves&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>Give me back my hat you dirty dirty rat&lt;br /&gt;
Without it I'm nothing, tell me where it's at!&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a wizard, a magician&lt;br /&gt;
spawned from cosmic coalition&lt;br /&gt;
with no need for a gun, my mind's my ammunition&lt;br /&gt;
So give me back my cap before I snap&lt;br /&gt;
and blow you into oblivion ZAP ZAP ZAP!&lt;br /&gt;
Give me back my hat you dirty dirty rat&lt;br /&gt;
I need it now, tell me where it's at!&lt;br /&gt;
You will be cursed for this intrusion&lt;br /&gt;
thrown into a world of illusion&lt;br /&gt;
Eaten by a giant ferret, pecked by thousand owls&lt;br /&gt;
You will slowly digest inside the devils bowels&lt;br /&gt;
So give me back my cap before I snap&lt;br /&gt;
and blow you into oblivion ZAP ZAP ZAP!</description>

        <description>A man is found hanging in a barn 4ft from the ground. The barn is completely empty. Nothing in there at all. All there is, is a puddle of water on the floor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How did the man hang himself?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>Electrolysis</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71537</link>
        <description>Its A Bit Like Opposites &lt;br /&gt;
If You Get What I Mean&lt;br /&gt;
And I Know Its Chemistry&lt;br /&gt;
And Im Not Very Keen&lt;br /&gt;
But Ive Put This Together Hoping That Its Right&lt;br /&gt;
I Need To Learn It And Im Not That Bright&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Electrolosysis Is The Process In Which&lt;br /&gt;
Electricity Comes And Is A Right Bitch&lt;br /&gt;
It Flows Through The Subsatances Whcih Are Ionic&lt;br /&gt;
And Then The Electrons Go A Bit Manic&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Positive Ions Steal The Negatives Place&lt;br /&gt;
And So The Negatives Copy And Steal There Base&lt;br /&gt;
Because Thier In Electrodes That They Are Not Supposed To Be&lt;br /&gt;
The Negatives Lose Ions And Fail Miserably&lt;br /&gt;
Then As If By Magic&lt;br /&gt;
There Is A Surpise&lt;br /&gt;
The Negative Ions Are Then Oxidised&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I Hope That I Have Got This All Right&lt;br /&gt;
Or Ill Open The Test And Ill Have A Big Fight &lt;br /&gt;
If You Think That I Have Got This All Wrong Then Feel Free To Let Me No&lt;br /&gt;
And If You Think You Can Do Better Than Me,Please Do So&lt;br /&gt;
My New Method Of Revising Is &lt;br /&gt;
Wording Things In Rhymes&lt;br /&gt;
And Re Reading Billions Of Times &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
oh&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>Personal Psychoanalysis</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71534</link>
        <description>Breaking up my head&lt;br /&gt;
collecting all my thoughts&lt;br /&gt;
Sorting them in piles&lt;br /&gt;
neat like stacks of cards&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Observing their details&lt;br /&gt;
I need to kill my doubt&lt;br /&gt;
why they move around&lt;br /&gt;
trying to get out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stick them in my spider-web&lt;br /&gt;
to sooth them in my mist&lt;br /&gt;
Weaving walls around them all&lt;br /&gt;
denying they exist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing lasts forever&lt;br /&gt;
sometimes my barriers are broken&lt;br /&gt;
And then my thoughts will run around&lt;br /&gt;
like crazy kids on cocain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gather 'round, gather 'round&lt;br /&gt;
jump right back into my mind&lt;br /&gt;
All of you, every last one&lt;br /&gt;
leave no other thoughts behind&lt;br /&gt;
They might be scared or unkind&lt;br /&gt;
but all of you are intertwined</description>

So Much Work To Complete,&lt;br /&gt;
I Don't Know About You,&lt;br /&gt;
But I Want To Make Ends Of This Work Meet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Is So Upsetting,&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing How Much There Is,&lt;br /&gt;
This Is Really Depressing,&lt;br /&gt;
To Be Honest I Think I'm Going To Have To Ask Miss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I Want A Social Life,&lt;br /&gt;
But At The Moment,&lt;br /&gt;
This Work Is Cutting Me Like A Knife,&lt;br /&gt;
And In My Arm It's Leaving A Dent.&lt;br /&gt;

Help Me Please,&lt;br /&gt;
This Work Is Killing Me,&lt;br /&gt;
It's Contageous, Like A Disease,&lt;br /&gt;
It's Over-powering Me Now As You Can See.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now Things Are Improving,&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe It's Not As Hard As I Thought,&lt;br /&gt;
I've Got To Say things Are Moving,&lt;br /&gt;
With The Hours I'm Being Taught.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I'm Calming Down Alot,&lt;br /&gt;
Stress Relief, Really Eases,&lt;br /&gt;
Now My Skin Is Becoming Clear Of Spots,&lt;br /&gt;
Now I Thank You So Accept It Please.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Going On Up Into Another Generation,&lt;br /&gt;
Definately Gives Me,&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>Oh My Gosh,&lt;br /&gt;
I'm Becoming 16,&lt;br /&gt;
I Am Becoming Mature,&lt;br /&gt;
As Everyone Has Seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As The Day,&lt;br /&gt;
Gets Nearer And Nearer,&lt;br /&gt;
The Adult Hood,&lt;br /&gt;
Is Becoming Clearer And Clearer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I Have To Leave,&lt;br /&gt;
My Childhood Behind,&lt;br /&gt;
Even Though I Love It,&lt;br /&gt;
And It Was Mostly Kind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It Is Now Legal,&lt;br /&gt;
For Us To Smoke,&lt;br /&gt;
To Be Honest,&lt;br /&gt;
It Makes Me Choke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It Is Now Legal,&lt;br /&gt;
To Have Sex,&lt;br /&gt;
All The GCSE's,&lt;br /&gt;
And Memorising Texts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Is Mad,&lt;br /&gt;
A Dramatic Change,&lt;br /&gt;
Now I'm Older,&lt;br /&gt;
There's More Of A Range.&lt;br /&gt;

        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71531</link>
        <description>We'll meet on the other side of town&lt;br /&gt;
In that tucked away side street bar&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You do remember where we first met&lt;br /&gt;
Your ego stood in the rain to capture me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wet head to toe I took pity on the weather&lt;br /&gt;
Gave out my number for me this was a no-no&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play baby&lt;br /&gt;
It brings back good memories&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play honey&lt;br /&gt;
Sweet dreams every time&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play baby&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind my heart says&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play let it play&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just like before you don't know me&lt;br /&gt;
I'll seem uninterested in your approach&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have a cocktail sent to my table&lt;br /&gt;
I'm shocked to see you knew my favorite&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now everyone's watching this love affair&lt;br /&gt;
I call for your presence we take it from there&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play baby&lt;br /&gt;
It brings back good memories&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play honey&lt;br /&gt;
Sweet dreams every time&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play baby&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind my heart says&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play let it play&lt;br /&gt;
Let the music play baby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Let it play)&lt;br /&gt;
(Let it play)&lt;br /&gt;
(Let it play)&lt;br /&gt;
(Let the music play baby)&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>SEX WITH AN OLDER WOMAN</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71530</link>
        <description>She was so amazingly beautiful&lt;br /&gt;
Eleven years my senior plus&lt;br /&gt;
Aged to perfection by experience&lt;br /&gt;
Orgasms Victoria's secret died telling&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over wine she sought with ease&lt;br /&gt;
To recapture her youthfulness&lt;br /&gt;
Scared out of my masculinity I loved&lt;br /&gt;
A woman's elusive past rediscovered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sex with an older woman&lt;br /&gt;
Heaven in the palm of your hand&lt;br /&gt;
Guilt free pure ecstasy silent of shame&lt;br /&gt;
The satisfaction of being drained&lt;br /&gt;
In a girlish way tries to explain&lt;br /&gt;
Sex with an older woman&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the way she moves&lt;br /&gt;
Excites me most respectfully&lt;br /&gt;
Tribulations overcame crowns her&lt;br /&gt;
She's suffered to know a good man&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The train she drives goes slowly&lt;br /&gt;
We enjoy the sight taking notes&lt;br /&gt;
A bat out of hell giving to rest&lt;br /&gt;
Can Fourth of July like a teenager&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sex with an older woman&lt;br /&gt;
Heaven in the palm of your hand&lt;br /&gt;
Guilt free pure ecstasy silent of shame&lt;br /&gt;
The satisfaction of being drained&lt;br /&gt;
In a girlish way tries to explain&lt;br /&gt;
Sex with an older woman&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I like the way she looks at life&lt;br /&gt;
Hasn't set sail for reality's sake&lt;br /&gt;
Our love from vine to fruit strong&lt;br /&gt;
Moans held on tight until morning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Think I'll hang my hat and coat here&lt;br /&gt;
Most situations resolved unattended&lt;br /&gt;
It's the tiny matters that leave a stain&lt;br /&gt;
Large issues rest in the hands we favor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sex with an older woman&lt;br /&gt;
Heaven in the palm of your hand&lt;br /&gt;
Guilt free pure ecstasy silent of shame&lt;br /&gt;
The satisfaction of being drained&lt;br /&gt;
In a girlish way tries to explain&lt;br /&gt;
Sex with an older woman&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>You’re like a bee sting… so fucking irritating&lt;br /&gt;
Your judgmental eyes keeping me in sight&lt;br /&gt;
But you don’t die after you bite&lt;br /&gt;
I’d snap off your wings... if it would change things…&lt;br /&gt;
With you attacking continuously&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>Well it was real&lt;br /&gt;
All the numbness&lt;br /&gt;
Scars hidden away&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to heal&lt;br /&gt;
Cursing reality&lt;br /&gt;
Coz its so real&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ll never know how you made me&lt;br /&gt;
Fight and struggle  daily&lt;br /&gt;
That cold cold reality&lt;br /&gt;
 pieces you broke in me&lt;br /&gt;
well it was real&lt;br /&gt;
it was real&lt;br /&gt;
All those years trying not to feel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I WAS Just a kid&lt;br /&gt;
When you did what you did&lt;br /&gt;
I was just a kid&lt;br /&gt;

 drug induced state&lt;br /&gt;
Liking the young boys with innocent face&lt;br /&gt;
Plastic smile&lt;br /&gt;
Faded for a little while&lt;br /&gt;
In court acting like the victim…&lt;br /&gt;
But the facts are you where in love with him&lt;br /&gt;
But he was your young victim… &lt;br /&gt;

        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71523</link>
        <description>God help us all...&lt;br /&gt;
Gordon and his ilk&lt;br /&gt;
Will have us knotted&lt;br /&gt;
Silk to other options&lt;br /&gt;
Call me Dave does nothing&lt;br /&gt;
To me...&lt;br /&gt;
The day that arrives that&lt;br /&gt;
Helps someone truly&lt;br /&gt;
Is mine.&lt;br /&gt;
Calico is a wondrous fabric&lt;br /&gt;
Usually unbleached&lt;br /&gt;
I pleat it as I listen to waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world will of course become better&lt;br /&gt;
If I cross a box of of ignoramuses&lt;br /&gt;
With invitations to view an unstained&lt;br /&gt;
Moment that is mine...&lt;br /&gt;
Wondrous seconds arrive by choice&lt;br /&gt;
Instantaneous.&lt;br /&gt;
Keep up everybody...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are killing our boys in deserts&lt;br /&gt;
For a war that will never be won&lt;br /&gt;
Calico men saying they are unfinished&lt;br /&gt;
Cotton women agreed and begone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71522</link>
        <description>We'd sing,&lt;br /&gt;

Having fun is what we do,&lt;br /&gt;
best of buds right untill the end,&lt;br /&gt;
here for you when you want me too, &lt;br /&gt;
I am completely glad that your my best friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then end of school comes, and you must go,&lt;br /&gt;
To your new collage or starting for a job,&lt;br /&gt;
You will be greatly missed, you know?&lt;br /&gt;
Thinkin about it makes me sob.&lt;br /&gt;
Your just like a drug,&lt;br /&gt;
no chance to restart&lt;br /&gt;
bye's and hug&lt;br /&gt;
we depart.</description>

        <description>spring struggles to blossom&lt;br /&gt;
in a corner of my garden:&lt;br /&gt;
a bunch of snowdrops&lt;br /&gt;
have shown their heads&lt;br /&gt;
through the not yet gone snow...&lt;br /&gt;
and i watch them each morning when i wake up&lt;br /&gt;
and each evening before falling asleep,&lt;br /&gt;
always in awe for their will to live,&lt;br /&gt;
despite the snow surrounding them...&lt;br /&gt;
it is said that God never gives you more than you can carry...&lt;br /&gt;
and i wonder,&lt;br /&gt;
if a tiny flower can survive in those conditions,&lt;br /&gt;
how much can a human being handle?...</description>

        <description>the sun rose&lt;br /&gt;
unexpectedly&lt;br /&gt;
not that &lt;br /&gt;
I did not expect it&lt;br /&gt;
to do so&lt;br /&gt;
but not there&lt;br /&gt;
of all places&lt;br /&gt;
behind the woods&lt;br /&gt;
where we had slept&lt;br /&gt;
all night&lt;br /&gt;
as one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she rose &lt;br /&gt;
through glowing clouds&lt;br /&gt;
casting deep shafts&lt;br /&gt;
banded&lt;br /&gt;

or the stairway&lt;br /&gt;
to the Grail&lt;br /&gt;
myth and magic&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but I no Galahad be&lt;br /&gt;
for I am no soldier&lt;br /&gt;
no chivalrous knight&lt;br /&gt;
in armour shining&lt;br /&gt;
rescuing maidens&lt;br /&gt;
dragon slaying&lt;br /&gt;
jousting until&lt;br /&gt;
my head zings&lt;br /&gt;
and spins&lt;br /&gt;
like Saturn’s rings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
no&lt;br /&gt;
this morning&lt;br /&gt;
my pilgrimage has begun&lt;br /&gt;
to seek the truth&lt;br /&gt;
in shabby tired clothes&lt;br /&gt;
as my faith&lt;br /&gt;
long battered be&lt;br /&gt;
and hope&lt;br /&gt;
a colander of woes&lt;br /&gt;
just questin’ be&lt;br /&gt;

not seeking salvation&lt;br /&gt;
but salvation&lt;br /&gt;
seeking me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
what see I&lt;br /&gt;
a robin on a branch&lt;br /&gt;
a field frog winking at me&lt;br /&gt;
the risen son&lt;br /&gt;
now guiding me&lt;br /&gt;
whence all hope comes&lt;br /&gt;
not from deep &lt;br /&gt;
within the ocean&lt;br /&gt;
nor brought &lt;br /&gt;
with the wild geese&lt;br /&gt;
sunrise’d be&lt;br /&gt;
but &lt;br /&gt;
within&lt;br /&gt;
without&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regina’s got a wall &lt;br /&gt;
full a blue ribbons and trophies&lt;br /&gt;
from horse shows &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and club calves and barrel racin.&lt;br /&gt;
Laura’s got&lt;br /&gt;
every kind of academic award &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
that’s ever been invented.&lt;br /&gt;
Colt’s got his fair share &lt;br /&gt;
a buckles and prize money&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and I got a penchant &lt;br /&gt;
for drinkin too much beer&lt;br /&gt;
and makin an ass outta myself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe I’m bein too hard on myself.&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe I ain’t.</description>

        <description>Some Boys Are Fit,&lt;br /&gt;
Some Boys Are Not,&lt;br /&gt;
Some Have Clear Skin,&lt;br /&gt;
Some May Have The Occasional Spot,&lt;br /&gt;
But None Of Us Care,&lt;br /&gt;
Because You're Definately Hot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some May Be Fat,&lt;br /&gt;
Some May Be Skinny,&lt;br /&gt;
And Sometimes All They Think About,&lt;br /&gt;
Is How Big Is Their Willy,&lt;br /&gt;
They Act Like A Pratt,&lt;br /&gt;
But Definately Silly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some Are Sexual,&lt;br /&gt;
Some Say They Aren't,&lt;br /&gt;
They Think They Can Lie,&lt;br /&gt;
But We Know They Can't,&lt;br /&gt;
They Try And Trick Us,&lt;br /&gt;
And Try And Tear Us Apart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hurting Us,&lt;br /&gt;
Is There Main Interest,&lt;br /&gt;
But We'll Hurt Them,&lt;br /&gt;
So Then We Don't Care Less,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes They Are As,&lt;br /&gt;
Annoying As The Press.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Trust Me Boys,&lt;br /&gt;
Us Girls Aren't,&lt;br /&gt;
Just your Toys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Us Girls Could Match You Anyday,&lt;br /&gt;
In Any Way.&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>have you seen her?&lt;br /&gt;
That girl&lt;br /&gt;
Who claims she didnt care&lt;br /&gt;
For the love she lost with that pearl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They say she met her end &lt;br /&gt;
By the overdose of pills&lt;br /&gt;
Because her lover couldnt mend&lt;br /&gt;
The passion that kills&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He called it quits&lt;br /&gt;
When his love for her was lost&lt;br /&gt;
And now her hearts in little bits&lt;br /&gt;
But she still remembers the words 'Love You Lots!'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wonders the world&lt;br /&gt;
Seeking her lost lover&lt;br /&gt;
Who's feelings were hurled&lt;br /&gt;
At another.</description>

        <description>Look in my eye's&lt;br /&gt;
Can you feel the connection?&lt;br /&gt;
I know you can&lt;br /&gt;
All I want is that sense of protection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you hold me tight&lt;br /&gt;
Dont let go!&lt;br /&gt;
Because were gonna take flight&lt;br /&gt;
Together forever&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just me and you&lt;br /&gt;
Embracing the love we share&lt;br /&gt;
No one can ruin this moment&lt;br /&gt;
Because we dont care&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whatever they may think &lt;br /&gt;
Just remember I Love You!&lt;br /&gt;
And I want to forever share this link&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>One Minute I'm Happy,&lt;br /&gt;
One Minute I'm Sad,&lt;br /&gt;
This Can Drive Me,&lt;br /&gt;
Insanely Mad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I Don't Like To Cry,&lt;br /&gt;
But It Is Randomly There,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes I Think,&lt;br /&gt;
People Really Don't Care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I Hate To Be Angry,&lt;br /&gt;
But Sometimes It Needs To Come Out,&lt;br /&gt;
My Emotions Go Round,&lt;br /&gt;
Like A Round-a-bout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's One More Emotion,&lt;br /&gt;
That Gets Me,&lt;br /&gt;
It Hurts Me Like Heck,&lt;br /&gt;
As You Can Clearly See.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It Is Depression,&lt;br /&gt;
It Hits Me Hard,&lt;br /&gt;
Like A Tone Of Bricks,&lt;br /&gt;
That Emotion Should Be Bared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These Emotions Make Me,&lt;br /&gt;
The Person I Am Today,&lt;br /&gt;
And Do You Think,&lt;br /&gt;
I Care About What You Say ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Be Honest,&lt;br /&gt;
If You Dont Like Me For Who I Am,&lt;br /&gt;
You Can Shuv It Up Your Arse,&lt;br /&gt;
As Far As You Can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm Like Marmalade,&lt;br /&gt;
You Either Like Me Or You Don't,&lt;br /&gt;
Bully Me If You Will,&lt;br /&gt;
But I Know You Won't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These Emotions Make Every Person,&lt;br /&gt;
Who They Are,&lt;br /&gt;
Now Back Off,&lt;br /&gt;
Because Emotions Are Here Like A Scar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71510</link>
        <description>&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Me and Regina and Mrs Stricker and Mr Stricker&lt;br /&gt;
are watchin March Madness&lt;br /&gt;
and we ain’t cheerin for any particular team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but it’s nice settin and watchin&lt;br /&gt;
and feelin halfway like part of the family.&lt;br /&gt;
Halfway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I reckon I got a ways to go.&lt;br /&gt;
In any case it’s nice.&lt;br /&gt;
Mrs Stricker even fixes up some popcorn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Course this sort thing don’t last &lt;br /&gt;
and Regina excuses herself&lt;br /&gt;
to go feed a bottle calf she’s got in the barn&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and the room closes in a little&lt;br /&gt;
but not too much on account of they know me pretty well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I half sympathize with Mr and Mrs Stricker.&lt;br /&gt;
I ain’t the kid I was&lt;br /&gt;
and it ain’t clear yet what kind of kid I am.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Juno said that.&lt;br /&gt;
It’s one thing to help on round-up &lt;br /&gt;
which I’ve done forever&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and another thing to be the teenager &lt;br /&gt;
that spends every wakin minute thinkin on their daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
I ain’t exactly altogether innocent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
like I was before all this relationship stuff set in&lt;br /&gt;
and I reckon they’ve got their concerns.&lt;br /&gt;
Ain’t it natural that they’re wonderin what we get into &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
when we ain’t watchin March Madness.&lt;br /&gt;
Though I expect it’s half obvious.</description>

        <title>Hiding Myself.</title>
        <link>http://www.poetbay.com/viewText.php?textId=71509</link>
        <description>Go away,&lt;br /&gt;
Disappear&lt;br /&gt;
You'll Just cause trouble if you stay here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like i said Disappear,&lt;br /&gt;
Nobody... wants you here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is what happens when i be myself&lt;br /&gt;
My true personality put on a shelf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Always to hide.&lt;br /&gt;
I guess this is my other side...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If only i could show my colours,&lt;br /&gt;
But now its gone hidden from others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it's only fading&lt;br /&gt;
The reason came...&lt;br /&gt;
From all this hating...&lt;/3</description>
