Chess

Chess is a game, life is the pieces./ Moms, dads, and uncles. Aunts, siblings, nieces./ All positioned on the checkerboard of time/ Each thinking that the other one is just a ball of slime./ Blacks vs. Whites/ Each picking their own fights/ But in control of all around/ Is the king who thinks he wears the crown/ Bush and Sedam/ push us all around/ losing people left and right/ Pieces with no reason to fight/ They don't care, the hatred blinds them/ Men and women. Lives of children./ The cost is dear,/ we all hope the end is near./ Bombs and missiles pollute the tortured air/ Killing people without a smidge of care.

The Inside of My Eyelids

There is the picture/ etched in red/ filling my sight/ though the moment is dead./ There she is/ still kissing you/ closing my eyes/ is of no use./ I want to gouge out her eyes/ rip out her tongue/ cut off her fingers/ one by one./ Then will I be/ more beautiful to you?/ How can I prove/ my love for you is true?/ Come fill my arms/ make me complete/ my dream is fulfilled/ now I can't fall asleep./ I love you/ You love me/ You just don't know it yet./ Soon you will see.

To Him

To him am I special?/ To him do I shine?/ To him should I confide/ these feelings of mine?/ Will he laugh in my face?/ Will he ignore my tears?/ Will he confirm/ my greatest of fears?/ So many questions,/ Only one way to know./ For now it's to the wind/ my cautions I throw.

An Exchange of Words

His eyes are endless pools of light,/Gazing into my eyes of darkest night./I've said the words, I feel them too,/I'm waiting for the reply of I love you./His eyes become more gentle, if at all possible,/As he returns the sentiment, I feel unstoppable./I fall into his arms willingly,/Tears of joy fall silently./A cloud of doubt flits before my eyes,/What if his words are nothing but lies?/ His loving arms hold me close,/And I know for sure he wants me the most./ I allow myself to sink into him,/My emotional barrier growing thin./Will I allow him to see inside?/To see the things I've tried to hide?/ But he's said the words, I think I'm in love,/ Someone must truly care about me in the great above./ To send me someone so perfect for me,/Someone who makes it worth it just to be./ He's set me free, to fly like the birds,/And all because of an exchange of words.

Rejection

Rejection is my biggest fear./ Not by just anyone,/ But you my dear./ That one day you'll come to realize/ that I'm not the someone/ for which you would fantasize./ Parent's opinions don't mean a thing/ when it comes down to that/ I want to wear your ring./ Why do you care for my parent's point of view/ when all that really matters/ Is that I love you?/ Look past it all and look at me/ notice that in my eyes/ YOU are all I see.

Merely Physical

What is your motive?/ You need to make this clear/ And don't even think about/ telling me what I want to hear./ I want the truth./ Most of the time I believe/ that you love every part of me/ but sometimes that feeling leaves./ Do you love me?/ Do you cherish every minute?/ Want to hold me every second?/ Is your whole heart in it?/ Or is it merely physical?/ Am I just a toy?/ Am I just the beautiful girl/ You want to show off to the boys?/ Wait there's more./ Is it just my sensual intrigue/ that keeps you coming back for more?/ Is that all you see in me?/ So just tell me./ Is this for the long haul?/ Do you love me?/ Or is it merely physical?

Spoiled Rotten

How many girls are as lucky as me?/ to have a man like you/ to fulfill their every dream?/ I'm spoiled rotten./ You treat me so good/so much better/ more than any other man would/ I'm spoiled rotten./ You shower me with praise and gifts galore/ and I always wonder/ what tomorrow has in store/ I'm spoiled rotten./ I've never been loved in the way that you do/ I'll never be ready/ to find someone new/ I'm spoiled rotten.

Family

Is it some sort of rule?/ Some unwritten precedent?/ That teenagers must loathe/ the people who live with them?/ We all have our own problems/ the yelling, the fights/ That we wish would go away/ when we turn out the lights./ Maybe it's hormones/ they make us overreact/ But to us our family's the worst/ That's more than a fact./ If we take a step back/ and view from the border/ We'll see why it's like this/ and restore some order./ We all almost brag/ about how bad we have it/ It's almost competition/ I want no more part of it./ While my family continues/ to scream and to shout/ I won't tell a soul/ it doesn't need to get out./ Complaining won't do a thing/ all they'll ever say/ is wow you're lucky/ I don't want to go home today./ A battle never won/ Who's life is the worst?/And I'm so sick of arguing/ I'm full up to burst./ Opinions don't matter/ I stand alone/ I hear it at school/ I get it at home./ So the next time someone says/ I hate my life/ Chalk it up to hormones/ And move on with your life.

Oxygen

When you're not around/ it's like holding my breath/ can't you just see/ I love you to death?/ Twice in a row/ we've done this before/ So what makes me think/ you won't hurt me once more?/ It's the feeling I get/ when you're not around/ my whole body cries out/ but I don't dare make a sound./ Don't want to feel/ this way no more/ so hold me close/ my soul restore.

Your Kisses

Your lips, so light, upon my hand/ Or warm, carress my neck/ So gentle resting on my head/ The lack of which I dread/ The memory alone sets my heart on fire/ Engulfed with passionate flames/ A kiss from you is enough to send/ me to Heaven and back again/ Your kiss, like sugar, sweet to me/ Feels like I'll never have enough/ So kiss me now, suck out my soul/ my tears I will try to get under control.

Say The Words

Say the words and pour out your soul/Have no fear of losing control/You say it so often but I never/ Tire of hearing you say you'll love me forever/ It's all the same words, tried & true/ but every time, I feel that it's new/ It makes me feel beautiful & unique/ so special, that to me you should speak/ Those words that tell me I am yours/ Your eyes are open like your soul's doors/ So say it again, don't every quit/ For without you, my life isn't worth shit.

Karma

Do something bad/be punished three fold./ Stated to teach compassion;/ This great law of old./ So if wrong causes harm/ Then the reverse must be true./ Do soemthing good/ and good's sent back to you./ If this principle is right/ Then I must try to recall./ I must have done something amazing/ to deserve you at all.
