You make me happy
When life seems sad
You make me happy
When everything feels so bad
You make me happy
You make the world seem new
You make me happy
And that’s why I wanna be with you

You light up the dark in my heart
Your smile makes it all restart
That look in your eyes
Sweetheart, you are the day in my night

A casual love
Formalities and manners are quickly disposed of
Free to simply be
And free to openly see

I’d give you the key
But with you, a lock has no purpose no need
I can just grab your hand
Not nervous of reprimand.

Watching you get excited
A fire in me is ignited
To see what makes you happy
Puts my heart at ease

I love learning all your little quirks and habits
Adoring how you’re so pragmatic
You’re my little brat
And I’m a doting sap.

I want to be there as you grow
I want to learn the things you know
I want to take your heart in my hand
And protect it while you reach out and stand

I want to shield you from the world
But I know that there’s so much you have yet to learn
So instead of protect and defend
I’ll be there for you when you need a friend.

Lean on me
When there’s anything you need.
I’ll gladly supply and provide
In return? Just stay near my side.

Travel and roam freely
Just know I’m here when you need me.
For a hand a hug or a shoulder to lean on
Whenever you need me I’ll come running along.
how would you address
me?
if i wear this tight black dress
as dark as the nights
i might
spend with you
and might not

would you pay for me
at the restaurant?
thinking that you have already
won my sympathy
by this act of courting
tradition
hoping that i'll kiss you
on the first date
in addition

or will you blame me for my
female magic spells
because this is what tells
you
that i am just another
pragmatic *****
in a dress that made
your breath
hitch

tricked you into this act
like it's not
a well-known fact
that i went out with you
just because you
wouldn't
leave me alone
and i couldn't
defend my own
without my make up
nice smiles and black dress on

so how will you address me
after that?
it's an old piece. well, not really, from last year, but i never posted it
so here it goes

By Arcassin Burnham

Caught up in another situation,
with another situation, problems stack on top of problems,
in a world where the animals run free and not complain about
the things that overwhelm us,
how do we even help us?
more people put themselves in lingo than the teens that commit suicide,
wanna live a hard death in agony ? you decide,
don't look surprised everytime when I'm in my household,
broken promises with every  friend  that I've ever told,
looking for some peace in my life instead trouble found me,
still have incurable illnesses but you can't down me,
still stay in a neighborhood where everybody wanna defend the crown and
turn up in the city,
everything I've ever worked for everybody tries to ruin it,
laugh in my face and think it's okay to influence it,
started from nothing and I'm still nothing,
in a corrupted world, man ain't life funny.

Life is a game I'm sure i'm not even playing,
and I when reminisce on those hardships I love praying,
I use to blame him for everything that went on in small spacing,
life after death , lord please take my soul from repenting,
there ain't no , time for comfort,
can't tell the light from the thunder,
there are things in this world that'll leave your brain full of wonder,
helping the helplessness will get you a place in the clouds,
i wanna pass my wisdom to my child,
Thats what I need to defend.

My body spins
As it enters a battle
One where no one wins
Each swing a struggle

The swords clang and clatter
While we fight and scream
Glory or pain, it doesn't matter
It's all hazy, like a dream

As the battle goes on
Reason is lost in this fight
In this war all there is,
Is an enemy in sight

So why do we shed blood
And hurt others without cause
Push them into the mud
And **** without pause?

Because it's not about us
Or the enemies in the fray
It's about those who trust
That we'll return safely one day

two men sat fishing
by a village stream
one short
one tall...

Short Man:
I think he's wrong
to chat to kids
leave them alone
there is no need

Tall Man:
What have you there
your venal mind
has lost the plot
there is no deed

Short Man:
No man has kids
who like him so
it must be bad
let's cast our vote

Tall Man:
No issue here
we're always there
he's not alone
I'll have you note

Short Man:
They tell him stuff
we never hear
why don't they talk
to us instead

Tall Man:
You're busy mate
you shut them up
and all you do
is keep them fed

Short Man:
It's just not done
the kids all flock
they see a saint
could be a threat

Tall Man:
The Lord himself
had kids mill 'round
for he was good
no need to fret

Short Man:
It's true I s'pose
that's different though
a Son of God
can do it right

Tall Man:
So all of us
imperfect souls
can only lose
the moral fight?

Short Man:
Of course it's not
as clear as that
just can't abide
if kids get hurt

Tall Man:
Well that's okay
but blacken not
a decent man
by throwing dirt

Short Man:
I'll flog him to
an inch of life
if we would hear
he's crossed the line

Tall Man:
You know I loathe
all deviant ways
be careful though
for he's benign

Short Man:
I hear you man
my thoughts run wild
we mustn't see
it black and white

Tall Man:
Imagine if
he's told this sh-t
to slander hear
how would that bite

Short Man:
You have a point
not all are bad
some have more time
than most townsfolk

Tall Man:
I've heard he steers
them to the good
he's simply not
a usual bloke

Short Man:
You're right my friend
you've pulled me up
an honest man
we should defend

WHY THOSE ALMIGHTY GODS
OF WHATYEVER CONFESSION
WOULD NEED THE HELP
OF WEAK HUMANS
FOR THEIR SURVIVAL

IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE

UNLESS THEY ARE
     IN REALITY
THE CREATIONS OF THOSE
WHO **** TO SAVE THEM(SELVES)
Pauline Morris Mar 2016
My past is seeking me out again
The stupidity of my past ignorance and sin

We'd stay up all night and speak of places we would roam
He moved me far away from home


He moved me away from family and friends
I didn't relize my future was growing dim

I was in love, he kept his demons well hid
If I'd just known some of the things he had did


I soon was pregnant, unable to defend
That's when the beatings begin

I would of ran but there was no where to go
So far from home with a young one in tow


My illusional happy family dissolved
A happy future from me is STILL getting robed

This drunken alcoholic fool
Was particularly cruel

Daily beatings a must
Hands around my throat in disgust

Have him arrested, out the next day
"Boy, ***** will you pay"


Years go by and three children latter
Things are much worse the punishment greater

Can't leave him now, know for a fact he will **** me
He'd bury my body deep, he'd never set me free

Then he would be raising my kids, a terrifying thought
And all of my suffering would of been for naught


One drunken and now cracked up night
He told me to go and I took flight

Raised four kinds on my own
Over 17 year and every 2 or 3 years always making his presence known

He can fill my heart with fear
I seen him today he's in my town..........his near
Echoes Of A Mind Mar 2016
Everything would be easier
If I hated you
'Cause then I wouldn't always have
To defend
You
When they talk about you...

I wouldn't have to make it clear
That I'm just as bad as you
When it comes to creating this mess
Afterall,
I could have rejected you...

Therefore I get ******
When people call me a victim
'Cause I had a choice
So there's no ******* way
That I am a victim...

But if I hated you
Then I would have spared
All the energy
Which I'm using on defending you
And that's a task
Which is really ******* me...

'Cause if I hated you
Then I would only approve
Of the awful things
Which has been said about you...

If I hated you
Then I wouldn't care about
That you're just as troubled
As I have gotten
As a consequense of this mess...

I keep telling people
That you're having a hard time
And that it won't help on it
If we keep speaking ill about the guy
Who only has as much of the responsibility
For this mess
As I...
Don't think that I see myself as a victim...
Viseract Dec 2015
Sometimes, I snap
Some things that I wish I could take back
Because when I do them I catch flak
And I fall into a punishment trap

And
I just want to defend
All my friends
Until the end
As peacefully as I can
But my patience is easy to bend
And yet everyday I pretend

That I'm Mr Cool
Nobody's fool
Yet in fact I am a fool
For believing I could deceive you all
From the fall
Without  a warning call

But yet even when I persevere
I just can't and the results are always severe
You know they all say "no fear"
Yet I do and my eyes have shed many a tear

All I wanna do is just chill out,
Have some good times and not freak out
Share the fun and not the pain,
Did this all yesterday
Now I wanna do it all again

Living in the past
Thinking this is my last
Moment coz life is fast

But I
Hyperventilate
Tryin' to delay chance and fate
Open up this mystery crate
Look inside all I see is dead weight

That I carry in my chest
My inner demons I try to best
This annoying f*cking little pest
Eating my heart, wants my eternal rest

But I must stay alive
For my friends I must survive
Even if my demons deprive
Me of the the will to live that I possess inside but

All I wanna do is just chill out
Have some good times and not freak out
Share the fun and not the pain,
Did this all yesterday,
Now I wanna do it all again...

I wish for inner peace
And safety for those that I call friend
Save them all from myself
Don't wanna be nobody else
For honour and loyalty I will defend...


All I wanna do is just chill out
Have some good times and not freak out
Share the fun and not the pain,
Did this all yesterday,
Now I wanna do it all again

For my friends until the end
                                                             ­      Just chill out....
I will fight and I will defend
                                                          ­          Don't freak out....
                                      Share the fun and not the pain,
                                             Did this all yesterday
                                       Now I wanna do it all again....
A rap, actually, but straight from the well where I store my poetry. :) enjoy!
