False Hope
A twinkle in her eyes, a playful grin,
intrigued me, so I flirted on a whim.
So long alone, I'd missed the sweetness of
a soul's companionship ... and love.
With our first kiss, I thought she'd heal the heart
My other love abandoned, tore apart.
Her promise to be faithful teased my hopes,
until I met her other foolish dopes.
A rebound love, such fun - it couldn't hurt -
my soul was poisoned by her worthless words.
Betrayed? Cast off? I swear tonight this vow:
I will avenge this grudge! Somewhere ... somehow ....

Future
the scarlet sunrise of tomorrow
had the promise to heal my sorrow
tough in the end that vow seemed worthless
it gave some hope and a sign of coming brightness
mesmerized I kept looking in the sky
with eyes that burn, it is hard to not cry
distorting words spoken out of angry sadness
whispering to the wind begging to change this wrongness
the picture now is without any grudge
there it is a long way to travel to the edge
with a grin I can remember that I shouldn't do this alone
a line trough my solitary live, friends I should hone
I am on the steps of a doorway
still ready to turn around and run away
but the future is still keeping me mesmerized
and a new tomorrow will be finalized
Poem 3

Rest This Night
At the end of the day,
after work, after soccer,
I sit back, drink my tea,
and ponder
all that was once,
gone today, gone tonight,
all the stress, joy and pain
here no longer.
I like to sit here
all alone, no one near,
and think silently,
solitary
like night sublime,
tis now night, not the day,
my heart subsides,
serenity.
Then it comes,
first 10:00, soon 12:00,
my eyes grow weary,
to sleep till ‘morrow
but off to bed,
this night, before dawn,
sweet sleep surrounds me,
till busy tomorrow.

Dark Roads
(Sonnet)
As we fight to survive, solitified.
Our hearts, for the evils that travels.
Streets paved with blood and souls petrified.
Forever in time, engraved in gravel.
Like pictures that cry for eternity.
When we walk these dark roads the opening.
Of many doorways to our minds to defeat.
The sins of our pasts will be siphoning.
Time, as time is sacred they will retrete.
Again we feel tomorrow's breeze for now.
Poem 5
Spoiler
As the moon shimmers on this dark night,
Lives a scarlet beauty, when the clock strikes nine,
Lights up a candle with rubbing two stones,
Oh how it brightens the room,
She sees her self in a white gown,
With blood patches all around,
A hole in her chest makes her scream,
Her eyes start to burn, with remembrance of her past memories,
She remembered she died as a newly wedded bride,
Who killed her was the one who promised to be forever by her side,
Mesmerized by the vows she spoke on her wedding day,
She knew he had crossed the line by treating her this way,
Even though her memories distorted a little,
She still loved the beast who murdered her without hesitation,
Her beauty had captured a million hearts before,
But now she is so rotten, no love can be offered her therefore,
Sits on the old bed with cobwebs covering it as a hole,
Thinks why she was revived when there can be no more,
Closes her eyes and falls back in to a deep sleep,
Never to open again to face her fate and weep,
Now pin drop silence everywhere,
Dark and alone in this mansion, no one to care.
Poem 6
Spoiler
Vows were broken, I remain shattered
He took a vow
To stand by me
And now
I sink to the floor
Oh,
The agony
Shatter,
The pieces of my heart
Its hard to collect them
When they fall in the dark
Utter darkness of my soul
Worthless, is all that I am
But he promised to take my hand
He took a vow to stand by me
Now I stand alone
Worthless is all that I am
For all the shame
Is all to blame
But yet he took a vow
To stand by me
Words,
Were spoken
Promises were broken
He said
I'm sorry, but I shall not hold grudge to thee
He walks
Away he goes
With a smile so devilish
Time will take for these wounds to heal
He took a vow to stand by me
And now
I sink to the floor
And you
Are all to blame
For all these scars and pain
What a shame
Promises were broken
But I remain
Poem 7
Spoiler
What truly makes a man
Who knows his own worth
Always willing to take a stand.
When those question his words.
What truly drives a man
To know when to fight
Never wiping away that grin
Even when forfeiting his life.
What truly creates a man
Whose unable to carry a grudge
Constantly giving a helping hand
Healing with just the right touch.
What truly defines a man
To always uphold his vows
Never worthless in their eyes
Not once letting any down.
As the worth of a man*
Has always been inside
Its what really defines
His true sense of pride.
Poem 8
Spoiler
Panic sent in, as fear thus has began, for getting thrown in this dingy crevice of a dudgeon, levitates the punishment that I already sustained cause of my twin sister Fran, She can irritate and in a way imitate my well being from head to toe, with exception of my soul. Aggravating me so much I hit a mister beside me with my basket filled of laundry, This should not of hurt as such, but it had detergent inside which broke upon his head and pride, well he fell to the ground yelling I'll Sue, I yelled back my name is not Sue its Shu.
The next thing I know I found myself heading to a dark sweaty weedy brick of a dudgeon for how long , well until I say sorry for that basket bludgeon, Well its on day two and I fill so hungry and filled to capacity with thirst, well I should say I am sorry although I don't agree, Agony though is making me desperate and this Solitude crosses the inhumane line. The air around me is stagnate and maybe I should wait til tomorrow. Though bread of Manna isn't a fit feast, and thy hair is making me look like a shagged up beast.
On the third day after being humiliated til I overwhelmed with tainted dirt all around me, my sister Fran Showed her snubbed face to procrastinate in my thoughts that ran, but instead she came in and turned the skeleton key, to let this thin decrepit me out of this horrid place not fit for a dog flea, you my sorry brother are now free, said she.I understand she stood in for me, but I told her I am staying you see, cause I am not saying to you I am Sorry.
You are a fool and there I stand thinking I am cool, In comes a judge and heard what I replied, Oh Fudge I relented, The judge your bail was granted, Now I see You paid the bail, and May I ask you how? No it was not me, you see, it was the guy who you hit on the head, he once did peaked in here and saw you pale as a ghost, he deprived himself and paid the bail, why? I don't get it myself he had so much wealth and seeing your health, well he paid bail and what I didn't understand it was large, yet why didn't he just drop the charge?
Poem 9

Traveling Line
These worthless words that made up this oath
Please change this distorting yet mesmerized promise
cease to be a grudge full vow of nothingness
a wind blowing away my solitary being
blind for the travel to be an ascendent entity
kind words are the doorway to be an better human
Working all together for a peaceful tomorrow
looking forward with a sad grin for the next morning
healing the scarlet scars of the past events
Poem 10
Spoiler
Many commit this act,
Knowing its not a crime.
Making people feel trapped
Devastating over time.
For nobody is ever free
Throughout all the attempts.
Many choose not to see
Those who roam in contempt.
Preying on those in solitary
Who cant stop the abuse
Fully aware and voluntary
Fueling the need to be amused
Like wind their words carry
Traveling through the minds
Till the victims are weary
Causing further decline.
Whether Today or Tomorrow
It is always the same.
Stuck with mental pictures
In the mind they will remain
Constant pressure bearing down
Made the Doorway unable to hold.
The space closing all around
Slowly beginning to fold.
Once gone there is no return
Leaving with no good bye
Will bullies ever learn
When those they picked on die.

Mesmerized by them
I kept watching in your scarlet eyes
Which like fire
They were burning in my soul
Distorting everything around me
Tonight I cross a line beyond fantasy
When before the bright yet solitary moon
You appeared before my eyes
A strange being blown by the wind
Toward the locked doorway of my soul
A wandering traveler between two worlds
Searching for a tomorrow in which to live on
You where a vivid picture but untouchable
Only a mirage of the night born in my loneliness
While slowly vanishing between my fingers
