Though the table was round, no one sad at the head
Tab was the ruler of the kingdom, or so it is said
She was graceful and talented and had a kind heart
and to ask for comments in the shout box, wasn't too smart.
She was polite in her manner and would tell you so
"Ask again for those comments, your membership will go."

There were other's that sat at this table so dear
Katie, the poet of dark painful words to bare
She had trouble relating to love and such things
But you could tell in her heart, to love is to sing

Sir Drew always sat with a pen and paper in hand,
sitting at the pub observing his land
He wrote of the stapler, he wrote about love,
he wrote about everything at that pub!
He tried different words, he tried different styles
the writings he posted, could stretch for a mile.

Sir Madatoch what a wonderful Knight
To be with his true love, was his only plight
He created visions for all us to see
Of what a true love could really be
His comments were as sincere as his writes
He touched many souls with his wonderful sights.

Sir Paul, now what can I say about him
He's the rusty old knight, his armor made out of tin
He believes in the soul mate, his one and only love
The woman sent for him, straight from above.
He knows that she is out there, even knows her name
To him to protect her is no kind of game.

Sir Aliensoul or Sir Rob to me
Looking for the Lodestar to guide him to destiny
He was always a teacher, went out on the limb
teaching us to think outside the box, write on a whim
His heart was so vibrant, it was clear to see
He loved with compassion, his heart was so free.

I look at the round table, with history fading away
and I wonder with tears, what do these Knights do today.
Their words and their writes touch me in such ways
That I can sit and wonder, why didn't they stay.

thank you, for being a box that fits me,
always op en, never lidded.
for ma king
ti me

since i on ly matter here.
t hank you
for readi ng my words and
believin g them,
for letting
m y
e ternity and heaven be yours. thank you for not knowing the
p lane of my face,the colour of my
voice, or my body, just
the contour
of my soul. thank you for
making me a start with
c ountless possibilities
t o an end
that will
someday make me whole.

You used to be there for me,
Whenever I needed you,
Now you're always gone,
Never there for me,
Never anything for me to do.
We used to be so close,
When did we grow apart?

You are my best friend,
But i've been replaced,
With drugs and alcohol that
Knocks you off your feet,
Now you're gone;
My soul is black,
My heart doesn't beat.

You took away my happiness,
You took away my life.
There is no friend to replace you,
I refuse to let it happen.
I refuse to let you leave.
I will not be your sacrifice.

I never forgot
Neither did I remember
That Yesterday was the fifth of December

you tried to hide it
But your voice gave you away
It gave away your disappointment and pain
For how I forgot, you can’t really explain
and for my attitude you looked for a reason
U blame the distance and maybe the change in the season
For you thought I’ll never forget
And ‘ll always remember
That yesterday was the fifth of December

I’m so sorry and filled with regret
For I really don’t have any reason to 4get

It’s so funny
‘cos I started the countdown from the 1st
Hoping to be the first 2 say
The words “Happy BIRTHDAY”
Ironically,2day I’m surprisingly the last
5th is gone, your birthday is past.
Here I am feeling so terrible
and didn’t remember
That yesterday was the 5th of December

thank you, for being a box that fits me,
always op en, never lidded.
for ma king
ti me

since i on ly matter here.
t hank you

Through Misty nights...
........opaque winds blow
.........truth reveled
.........judgment direct
Words that slash leave a scar
Yet expressions that engrave leave truth

Her lost expressions...
........through those Mistii eyes
........from numb thoughts
........and empty hearts
Her poetic soul speaks louder
then her bitter silent pen

Through her Misty gaze
.........dark hair...
.........dark eyes...
..........her soul illuminated.
Hurt by him to planted a bitter seed
Furthermore him that exists not

Yet she...
Stronger than she possibly knows?
More beautiful...than she seems not to identify
.........and heart indisputable
Misunderstood but extraordinary.
................................that Mistii girl
................................in the Misty night.

Pain is only pain when you are alone,
Accept the THUNDER and don’t be EXPECTED2DI,
Ivory hands splaying, 666 moments of hurt leaving,
No more do I have a LOST SOUL, the SEA calls me,
To its MISTII and calming JETTYs,
Evermore, from here, they will not ROB me,
Do they want me to be HAPPY or do they want SUICIDE?


Pray my LUZ stays strong and true,
Even when I falter to the dark,
Reach to me ARADIA, daughter of Diana,
Focus your energy, and teach us the way,
Evict the hate and FIND YOUR SLOACE,
Call to me as THE MAESTRO enchants my soul,
Tell me what SWEETNESS these last 311 thoughts have entailed,
Let the GENERAL array of hope prevail and come to us,
You and me both, painless together as friends.


A little experiment as well as a tribute to some of the people I have become friendly with over the years... sorry I couldn't fit every one in, it was just to difficult for the structure I was trying... peace.

the sound of our history resonates
down the corridors of my mind
and I sit here and think in nostalgia

‘what happens to those days’

they become stored and shipped off
to another time to remind us
who we are and who we became
because of our path’s connection.

we meant so much at one point in time
and it all becomes an after thought
to contemplate how much we can miss someone

we don’t even know anymore…

you are
you were
you could still
and will always be
sweet memories floating down my mind

what happens to those days?

they become diligently trapped
in a rhythm of past recollections conjured up to remind us
who we are and who we became

because of someone we used to know so well.

They complete me
being everything I'm not
and everything I need them to be

They are my humor in a gray, dull horizon
They are my love in the heartless faces today
They are my voice-- strong and unshaking
They are my eyes when I'm blinded by reality

When all fall away into
the dark hole of disappointment,
They stand firm, holding me up,
wiping away my tears,
strengthening my heart,
holding my hand when needed

Even when one is halfway across
big seas and lands,
I'm connected
by heart, faith, hopes, and dreams
I know I need them,
I want them when they are away
but I know they are always with me
forever

far across the country
you live a life of your own
our friendship has turned to acquaintance
of eachother, we've outgrown

but still i care to hear good news
that you are doing great
but what i learned just days ago
made me contemplate

i couldn't first believe the fact
that you had turned to drugs
compared to all those years way back
filled with our childish hugs

i always knew we had our differences
it wasn't hard to see
but i thought one thing in common
that you were just as smart as me

but dumb it seems you have become
since you think it cool to smoke pot
i can't believe my first best friend
has chosen their brain cells to rot

i must say goodbye my friend
for i'll no longer be around
i won't associate myself with these flaws
about you that i have found

we were so close for a long time
but now since you've chosen weed
i'll be staying away from you're poison
of your mistakes i'm freed

You land on the shore
of the island
looking for Zorba,
drink from his eyes,
sit together
beside Bubulina's bed
and shoo away
the greedy old women,
sit on the rock
overlooking the sea
and weep
because your dream
faded
as so many dreams do,
dance till dawn
on the desolate beach
and wonder why
your love
was stoned to death.
But there is no Zorba.
there is a peasant
hiring an old donkey;
and the women,
the women are fat tourists
in their flashing Bermudas,
old fashioned
eye glasses and sun caps,
buying cheap souvenirs
for their kinky shelves.
By the way,
You do not dance on the beach;
there is a stuffy disco
full of grinning people

as i walk along the narrow hallways
i see you looking at me with those eyes
smiling just like everything's alright

i smile at you, forcing myself to
and you smile back with the same feelings
hiding all the lies, trying to move on
behind these innocent eyes

i would stay with my wonderful friends
laughing like everything is always fine
yet i glance at you, quickly as possible
trying to hold the lies behind everything

i try to stay positive
yet the moment comes and i break down
i rush in the bathroom, not caring what people was thinking
pouring these tears across my red cheeks

i try to hold myself together
but the lies stayed with me forever

i come out and see my friends
looking at me and wondering what could be wrong
yet they just go and give me a hug
i knew i could count on them to be here with me

whenever i would come to school with those red eyes
they would just know that something is wrong
and not even bother asking

my friends are my everything
i wouldn't give them up for anything

let your tears fall to me
like sand in the glass

every star may burn out
but your shine will last

oh Nancy,
fall to the brace of tonights symphony
because I'd never let you be
anything but free
Nancy

never crawl again
I can carry your weight

because loyalty
sees more then blues and greys

oh Nancy,
fall to the brace of tonights symphony
because I'd never let you be
anything but free
Nancy

oh Nancy,
share more of your sweet simplicity
and let me be the victim
of your tragedy
rest your head on me
Nancy

when the sun used to shine

lee and i would always argue
but never
fight.

when it rained after a short drought

the good days when ryan would
scare the living shit
out of all the children.

the days when love wrapped her arms
around us all

the days when katie was my
only rope to hold on to.

the days when we had a kingdom

when rob or roy
or whatever accused us all
of being
racist.

the days when sarah and i
put a whole song in the
shoutbox by
putting the lines in
backwards.

where it snowed and we
stayed cuddled inside in the
warmth of our houses with
internet.

when aaron wrote an essay (or two)
yelling at
lightdancer.

when we discovered that
lovely dawn was the hippy
of the house.

when people talked about their favorite
sex toys but i do not
remember participating
because i was too prude.

the good days when liz
and josh were here.

when sam and i
talked our lives through
msn.

the days when zach
made me a better poet.

when jesse and i spent
hours talking to each
other.

when rob and tena
became our wise parents.

the days when drew
and the other rob
spit out the most
beautiful lines
i have ever read

the days of putting
poor kevin down and to
this day he's still a little
kid.

the days that tab became immortal

the good days of reading poetry
that was in a way,
painted perfectly.

Cherish your friendships

for we must treasure beauty

of which we all share

Turn off the night light
Stand in the dark
Look out to the dark sky
One star’s left a mark;
Someone that’s kept me on my feet
An incomparable friend
My secret guardian angel
Setting her very own trend.

Maybe to you she’s quiet
But to me that’s just a lie
If you could see the girl I see
Hidden behind those eyes;
To say that I would miss you
Doesn’t even come close
A best friend forever
And one I need most.

Hold me up when I’m falling
Talk to me when I’m down
I’ll be there when you’re lonely
Shattering your frown;
If you get pissed off
I’ll still be there
Yell, scream or shout
I really won’t care.

When I said best friend
I meant forever
Not easily broken
Shattered or severed;
The writing bedded it my arm
Reminds me of you
That’s the past now
We’ve more to go through.

Why dont you spit on my face
with your hepatitis ladled saliva
again and again and again

I am not the one in the wrong here
I just dont shout the loudest
quality versus quantity
but you are tasteless

I used to be your lighthouse
in all weathers at all times

Your turn to be mine
but I wipe my face
and hit the rocks

elysia
is my bestfriend
until the end
of time
thats right she's all mine
all the boys
are just toys to her
you beter listen
cause i have the final woRd
i love her so
and i need her to know
that she is the best
beats all the rest
no one can compare
i even love her pretty hair
i dont care
what anyone thinks
cause to me
your all nothing but dinks
but not my elysia boo
she is always true
no matter what i do
to piss her off
i will remember
she is the boss

Its that we leave and its time that we see
That we're growing apart, we're growing apart
We're leaving each other, just promise me this
That we'll always be friends

Over and over and over and over
The memories pass through
Over and over they go
We're leaving each other, we're leaving each other
Just promise me this, just promise me this
That we'll always be friends

Why did we do what we did
Why were we who we were
I guess that’s what made us, us
That strangest kids in school
I can't be that without you
We're growing apart

Just promise me this, just promise me this
Say it to my face, and tell me that its true
Tell me that it will last through and through
Promise me we will always be friends

I try to forget my past so the sorrow is less
But our friendship was so big
I just can't let it go
Over and over, over and over, over and over
We will always be friends

Just promise me this, just promise me this
Say it to my face and tell me that its true
Tell me that we will always be friends

Over and over and over again
It was always someone else’s friend
And now that its you...
I don’t know if I can go through

Just promise me this, just promise me this
Say it to my face and tell me that its true
Tell me that it will last through and through
Promise me, we will always be...
Tell me that it will last through and through

Promise me...


**I wrote this December 2005**

All the good times and the bad
Smiles and laugher, frowns and tears
They will stay in our hearts forever
Forever memories
Days will go, then go the weeks
Times will come, and times will go
I remember every thing
I remember them like gold
Forever memories we hold
I remember sailor moon and our
Best kept memories in the peace garden
3 hour walks and all night talks
Almost burning down my house
P.T.N.S. and banging around
No one could understand,
The friendship we found
Scare in the night, the music goes off
What were we thinking when we would fight
Forever memories held tight
Tick goes the clock, time passes by
Remember when, we both liked that guy
Every memory I have with you
Makes me smile, you know its true
Forever memories
We grow older, yet closer together
Despite these problems that would tear us apart
We won’t let them pull us away
From a friendship like no other
Forever memories keep us together
No one will ever understand
The story behind Yohan
Forever memories
Remember now, when I move away
Forever memories will always stay…

Suddenly you have became a part of me
Somebody I have to say goodnight to before I go to sleep

Also have to wish a good morning when I awake
And I hope you stay apart of me for goodness sake
Because you advice me on the steps I take
Always talk real talk never the fake
I hope u get blessings for the choices I make

When I needed someone to talk to you were their
You’re the type of girl that would split her only dollar to cut a bum a share
You’re the type of girl that can't be found anywhere
But surprisingly I am exposed to a girl so rare
I barely know you but I know enough to know you care

Walking around breathing nothing but clean air
So you keep me in a clean atmosphere
And you always tell me the exact things I love to hear
And when it comes to God you have true fear
You helped me see life so clear

If I was to lose you I would definitely shed a few tears
So don't ever leave me I want to keep you near

Hear ye my heartfelt call,
E’er heard ‘fore moon’s still fall.
In maiden, here, I give to ye
Decided friend and fair beauty,
I ne’er knew an equal be.

Out of all my friends in the world

Not a one of them means more to me than you

For you are the only one who can make me smile whenever I am sad

With all your cute little faces

And everything you say

We will always stay

Best of friends

And even when we fight

And even when we cry

We always seem to make it right

Because we are the best of friends

And we will always be there for each other

Even if we disagree

Through the thick and the thin

I will always love you

And I will always be there for you

Whenever you need me

Because we are best friends

And nothing

Will ever change that

Because we are

Best friends

I know you’re my friend I am yours too
but you don’t realize how much I love you
buddies for life, nothing can break us apart
a bond so strong it’ll stay cemented in our hearts
you know I’m you friend, there to comfort you
whenever your hurt just tell me, I’ll be there for you
I promise, and promises I don’t break
I promise I will never forget you, and you I won’t forsake
so please do not forget me, your one true friend
I promise you can trust me, till death, in the end
........

true friendship is strong, that’s why we’ll be friends forever
Similarities create friendship's while differences hold them together.

Why are you so upset?
You're not acting like yourself
Your bad vibe makes me sick
I just wanna tell you, "go to hell!"
I guess everyone has their days
But if you need to talk
I'm here to listen as a friend
I'll sit with you or take a walk,

You know I always try to understand
We've been friends for many years
I'm a woman and you're a man
But sometimes you too have hidden fears,
You always try to play it off
I guess it's in your nature to act tough
But I know deep down inside you can be soft
You also have a heart full of love,

You've always been there for me
You know me better then I know myself
It's cause of you I now believe
I no longer have to hide within a shell,
So when you're having a bad day
You know I'd never turn my back on you
'Cause I'm here to listen as a friend
No matter how you act or what you do.

Copyright ©2007 Mandy Gtz

Can't forget the passion in the way you
used to kiss me
can't forget the the way you pretended
not to miss me

Well do you miss me?
do you still think about our
bygones be bygone's
history?

I'd pretend that I'd like to smoke
then I'd tell a little joke
just to ignite
some conversation,
oh what a situation

I'd roll over and I'd play dead
just get that thought in your head
I'd roll over and I'd play dead
hopefully end up in your bed

I'd listen to you're drunken rabble,
I'd let you win at scrabble
but my favourite was twister
just to be close to you

....

You know there's always love
burrowed deep in the far folds
of every look, I kept it, I knew
you would need some when I left.

You know there's always love,
you don't need to ask questions
with those big shiny marbles,
I know you need arms sometimes.

I know you look at our baby
and wonder why we couldn't be
as perfect as him. I can't change
his eyes, you will always see mine.

I am sorry I am not enough
of a friend, sorry I was the soul
without the mate. We were destined,
but destiny doesn't listen

to "Just one more day".

These arms were not tight enough,
these feet ran the wrong way,
these eyes often looked past you
but my senses, my heart, remember.

Water still wells, when I see
the hole I cannot fill in you.

Grasp your life line with two hands,
nice timing!
it could have resulted in death
metaphoricly of course.

Are we playing cia, mi5, kgb and asis?
or is it just charades?

I like it, its a mountain to climb
find your own fox like manner
to verify and we will leave it
like that
as we continue to race to the top
which is where I will be waiting.

I was born in August of 78; my mom was in for a surprise, that boy wasn't straight



When I was a kid, momma taught me words of peace, not to abuse my tongue, or cause animosity,



I was a rowdy child, grew up even worse, times got harder, and made me start to curse



Sitting on the couch and reflecting on my past, wasting time away, but that didn't last



Momma was calling, she needed a hand, but I was lazy, no energy to stand



Her calls got louder, she started to cry, she said I was a bad son, that I can't deny



Momma always fed me and prayed for me each day, many times I neglected her, made her cry in pain



Nothing I could do could ever repay her for what she's done, she will always be in my heart, remain number one



Momma wanted the best for me, she was kind and sweet, she suffered to raise me, even broke her feet



Mom, mom, here I come, your ungrateful son, who hasn't yet begun



Begun to be true and loyal to you, by buying you flowers and red roses too



I'm sorry for the times I made you cry, from all the insults and even the lies



You're the greatest woman in the world and so much more, you filled my life with joy, what more can I ask for



Mom, mom, listen to me shout, your wonderful name repeatedly, not a dirty mouth



Hey, mom, now I understand, I swear without you, my life ain't so grand



Hey mom, my life is falling apart, my heart is crying for you, give me a fresh start



To be a great son, I promise I won't fail, I'll give you my utmost attention, so try not to look pale



I'll clean your house, do your dishes, and serve you with gratitude, and I will promise you that I won't have an attitude



Your son has a new motto, a new plan to work things out, I'll talk much more humble and try not to shout



peace
