Introduction 2 Poetry

I ask them to take a poem

and hold it up to the light

like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem

and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem's room

and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski

across the surface of a poem

waving at the author's name on the shore.

But all they want to do

is tie the poem to a chair with rope

and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose

To find out what it really means.

~ Billy Collins

I'm Still Blind

Sometimes I think about us before

And then I think about how I'd adore

Every little thing you'd do

I'd think about how i had not a clue

Exactly what was in store

For me and you

Sometimes it's hard for me to acknowledge

What you're doing and I'm caught in the drama

Building, concluding, rooting & rooting

Keep on trying and still we deny persuing

What we have, what we still have

Days keep passing and things still lie in the past

Relying on me isn't gonna do shyt

I'm always the one gunnin the thrifts

And yet I still can't resist

A kiss from your lips

Any piece of your body is what I insist

If I were to have any dream of any kind come true

It'd be to let myself let go of you

How confusing I know - but ooo

Ooo how you hurt me and I still can't let go

I'm better off without you then I am your clone

It's better to see me smilimg

Then to see me alone

And I know you love me

That's the hard thing

But you still mistrust me

And beliebe the feigns

Everyone wants us to burn, can't you see?

Don't mean to sound concieded

But it's because they yearn for me

They want us to be single

And get on with our lives

But for some reason, inside, we both keep lies

Lies to myself saying I don';t need you

Lies to yourself saying 'Damn, I can't see her'

Look at you - you just called me

Look at you - you're so cruel

You won't do the following

On and off is how you ride

Pushing all my love and feelings aside

Until we both collide

And inside the walls we sigh

It's all right though because

I'm still blind

I Want You

Hey luv

I wonder wha ur doin 2nite

Isnt it enough?

2 give it up

becuz u werent wit me -- all rite?

believe in trust

So luv

was she good enough 4 u?

but u front

and keep the kisses

Ooo U kno its u boy

i want 2 be wit u boy

but my pride subsides, these feelings i hide

Ooo u kno it's u boy

after all i've tried - i hurt inside

becuz i want u 2 b myne

O yea boy

I c her looks now

there's no way that i'm down

for all these new feelings

that u've seemed 2 of found

n i seem to frown now

I look, n all i c is ground

but u seem so damn proud

2 make my feelings go round n round

Oooo

Can't you see how much I love u?

How much, just how much I love u?

Can't u see that I still care boy?

I only want you 2 enjoy

Life as i c it - me n u

Cuz ur sittin over there, holdin her palms

Breath...ok.

Ooo u kno it's tru boy

I want 2 b wit u boy

But my pride subsides, these feelings i hide

Ooo u kno it's u boy

U kno this is due boy

And all i try - I hurt inside

Cuz i want u 2 b myne

O yea

Times Like This

Times like this are what make me think

When I think I start to realize

I see what my time tries to provide

I look at the open windows before i try

and i should be more grateful

and i should pay more attention

I will pray every night, but i still i have tension

No matter what i say, it's alwayz the same

I'm 1 more 4 actions, yet i still havent portrayed

in 1 word i said 1 thing i've claimed

take 1 step baq, and i take another in exchange

And isnt it a shame?

i tend 2 only THINK of fame?

When will i try my hardest 2 play the game?

Ooo Lord what am i 2 do?

My brother is in the hospitol, and i feel like a fool

I should have paid him more attention

Brought him out more with me

And these last days I dont regret

But the past brings me to my knees

Thank you Lord for only a shattered knee

Thanks 2 u my brother is still with me

It was the 1 n only time i gave him a kiss, n melted

it shouldnt have 2 b this way

oh no, not like this

2 take a tragic event 2 bring us closer within

n i feel stupid being here n havin everything

yes i feel like crumbling when my mother feels numbing

Not only could i have lost him, i could of lost her 2

i didnt and still cant think of such things

cuz then i dont kno what 2 do

N what if dad was 2 go 2?

Damn would the whole fam b lost

everything we rely on is in the faces of his palms

He's the smartest being i've ever met

n his life story is a tale

But 4 some damn reason

he can't seem 2 talk,

n makesme feel like i've failed

Not till lately have i thought of anything... duh

like may-b he's just not talkative

I always thought that there was something wrong with me

2 make him not want 2 associate

Family is the only key i c wit me 4ever

n just when i think i believe in my friends

My friends leave like edibles

I cant get along with them and may-b thats just how it is

But my fam is my # 1 friend

God gave angels 2 me 2 spend

a few moments of learning n loving

from angels that kiss n never descend

Mon, Dad, Joe & friends

Thanks 4 being my angels in which i depend

My whole life and all thats after that

You'll b part of me n I'll always treasure that
