Untitled #poem 1 If good was bad and far were here, Then why should I not dissappear, So all the world would one day know my name, Just take my thoughts and break my fears, As you're reborn through smoke and mirrors, Just let the tide take you back to the shore, A mile by day's a week by night, What fades to black can fade to white, For #life is all a dream we all have dreamt, Images of broken people, Seen within a moonlight fire, And all they've ever loved has gone away, And all they'll ever love will fade away, The breeze meanders pointlessly, While bringing fleeting autumn leaves, That float upon a stream beyond the wall, The mercury that's in your hand, Is made of broken wedding bands, Is never ending barren land, What glitters now is never made of gold, So listen to the stories he has told, Just listen to the stories he has told, -ZenMercury

The Road Back Home I look up beyond the clouds tonight, See the stars are up and shining, The North Star's looking so clear and bright, It'll help me see when it's blinding, I'm on the path to meet my maker, This road's looking so dull and broke, I'll write on tiny scraps of paper, While blowing tiny puffs of smoke, The road back home ain't an easy one, But it's the one I've gotta take, No the road home ain't easily won, But it's the best for my own sake, I don't yet know how long it has been, It feels like an eternity, And it feels like the ice got too thin, But I hope it still feels like home inside, And I hope you'll let me back in, Hello all, after a longer than expected haitus, I'm back here. I'm back home. -ZenMercury

Hello all, I'd like to ask for some advice. You see there's this girl whom I like, and I like her a lot, but I don't know what to do. For one, I've never dated anyone before, and I'm afraid I'll screw it all up. For another thing, all of my friends that know this girl, hate her. I don't know why, but they do, and now because of these 2 things; I don't know what to do. If you'd like to help I'd really appreciate it as I'm quite confused right now. James

La Douleur Exquise Every second, Of every day, I can't stop the pain, I'm too in love, If you just knew, How much I love you, If you olny knew, What you won't, Every hour, And every time, My heart weeps, I'm too in love, I keep longing, Longing for the day, I will see the face, That I saw but once, Every where, I weep my tears, They laugh at me, I'm too in love, I'm too foolish, Too rash, too quick, But my love is yours, And burns like fire, They say don't give it, But it's all I have, So it burns within me, A concealed match, Day after day, I sit waiting to, Hear you say, I love you too, -ZenMercury

The Punch With No Hand It's not the punch that I'm scared of, It's not the hand or the blade, It's those words that I'm scared of, The ones you seem to crave, I've no bruises or scrapes or sores, To some it's just childish weakness, But the cuts are deepened evermore, As they stare and laugh at 'weakness', I had hoped that you'd understand, When came a river full of tears, From my eyes to flood the land, But your mask didn't hide that leer, Now I pine for older times, When worries were far away, I pine for long gone days, When we'd've smiled and laughed again, -ZenMercury
