Mel's Poems

Now its time to get serious people. Here is my serious page. Now I want you all to put on some serious faces for me. Cause this IS a serious page. Here are some of my poems. Hope you enjoy.


Most of the poems I get in my head are when I'm in a depressed mood. But here is one. I don't have a name for many of them.




So powerless, to so many things

But so spirited, when hard times
begin.
Fear is only a word
But questions remain unheard
A world full of sorrow,
of pain,
and regret
But oh what a day
of happiness
to a world
that upsets.


This one is a real good memory. It was basically dedicated to David-my best friends brother. We had this one special moment, and it was my world.


No matter where I go
No matter where I stand
My mind wanders,
thoughts flood past my heart
through my soul
And all I think about,
Is that one moment

A small whispered word
a blink of an eye
takes me back
to our ONE MOMENT.
No matter how far I travel
I can never say goodbye.
My love for you will never die.

Because we'll always share that ONE MOMENT.


This one is my desperate attempt to forget about David. I'm still trying to forget....

I must leave
clouded my head
never return
Don't look back, never
My heart torn in two
but as I go
I slowly put it back together
a small smile returning
to my frowning face
My cruel head won't let
my heart go.
so stubborn
But soon,
its goodbye


I know these might be hard to understand-but i used to write the rhyming poetry-but than my feelings got more deep, and than I realized poetry isn't all rhyme.

This one is about the guys-each one who I offered my heart to, and it got toyed with.

The love I carry
feels so deep
I hold it close
just so I can keep
One look,
and I feel powerless
One look,
and I feel seduced
One look,
and I feel cowardless
What do you make me do?
A feeling that I can't control
A feeling that I can't lose
A feeling that makes me love,

The one and only you
So please,
don't push me away
don't ever let go
Because just one more look
I hope we share
we will never
Let go


What can I say about this one?

A poem for daddy

Today is a day
I once again, understand
that you will always lend me your
helping hand.
I'm not alone
even though I say I am
I'll always have you-
to talk to
to hold
to ask
to dream
to love you with no
strings attached
is a true gift that I am
blessed to be given
you are the only one of your
kind that I can trust.
Daddy, I love-and need you so much.


I can't say much about this one...

There are days...
of silence
Days of fear
Days of neverending
screams
No one feels such pain
at one point in life
It will come
The day of reckoning
The day of power
All will be righted from
the wrongs
To undo
one must do
to undo.


This is about a guy...thats all I recall

I fear the worst
for we are gone
no more nothings
no more wrongs
I can't explain my feelings
inside...
If only my heart would
once again soar with
pride
I feel abandoned
I feel weak
So heartbroken
to even speak
Stress of the devil
takes me over
rips my insides
piercing screams
I love too much
can't I see?


OK! NOW THAT, THATS OVER! Here is a bit funny one. It was about that guy David (and if this is my friends, NO its not David Nguyen!!). When I was feeling good, and my self-esteem was up, and I wanted to get him back at his own game. I must warn people though, this poem contains strong profanity. So you have been warned!




I never wanted to say goodbye
I told myself, I wouldn't cry
But here I lay, somehow knowing
I'll never be the same.
A force so strong, holds me back
Crossing off all the feelings,
I now lack,
Goodbye it is.
Why is this?
Damn! This is such a bitch!
I can't love you.
I can only cry.
Fuck this! Damn guy!
Here I go through all this shitty pain,
and pissin me off strife!
Goodbye you schmuck!
I'm all outta luck!
So much for me, getting
a damn good fuck.


hehehehehe, wasn't that great? I'm very proud of that one. Maybe more later!

Famous Poems, Written by Famous Poets

I found this poem...very...beautiful. I was looking through my old stuff, and found this old poetry book called "The Art and Craft of Poetry" Introduction. I found it at an old thrift store. I never really was able to look at it, until now. Because now I understand these poems. The poems they have placed in here, are so...passionate. I hope you enjoy.

These two are by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Now, these probably aren't the whole poems. But these passages are just so meaningful.

Love not me for comely grace,
For my pleasing eye or face,
Nor for any outward part,
No, nor for my constant heart,-
For these may fail, or turn to ill,
So thou and I shall sever:
Keep therefore a true woman's eye,
And love me still, but know not why-
So hast thou the same reason still
To doat upon me ever!


If thou must love me, let it be for naught
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
"I love her for her smile-her look-her way
Of speaking gently-for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasent ease on such a day"-
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee-and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry-
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.

Wasn't that just beautiful? I love that passage. Its about love, and what its like from "feminine intuition." It states.

This next one is just beautiful. A man named Hartley Coleridge wrote it.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound.
I grant I never saw a goddess go:
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.


She is not fair to outward view,
As many maidens be;
Her loveliness I never knew
Until she smiled on me.
O than I saw her eye was bright,
A well of love, a spring of light.

But now her looks are coy and cold,
To mine they ne'er reply,
And yet I cease not to behold
The love-light in her eye:
Her very frowns are fairer far
Than smiles of other maidens are.

Wasn't that great? More later. Tell me what you think!


It Can Only Come Back:


I fear...what there is not to fear...
I cry...what there is not to cry...
I wish on my holy blood...
That there is peace soon..
That peace is brought upon me..
and it wretches the fury, pain, and emptiness
all away...

One more word...And its goodbye
One more look...and I fly
Nothing will stay
as long as I survive.

Maybe...it should just...
be that way...

The future brings us hope
When all it brings to me...
is the state of insanity.
Things will come
and things will go
But the spirt that lays within me...

Will never leave.
Torture will be brought upon all...
One person
One brave, courageous soul
One lover, spirited enough to fly
Can save the earth from this fiery presence

Lurking through shadows,
in the back of your very heads.
Banishing it, will only bring it back
over and over and over and over...

It will bring tears upon the world...
and a cry of pain...
reason...
but don't let if fly...don't demolish...
it can only come back..

Indescribable

This is a poem that was REQUESTED, and its too someone I really care about. I couldn't think of anything to write. I spent all last night, all day today, attempting to write a poem for this person. But there wasn't that certain spark. I couldn't figure anything out. It was a most difficult experience, but I finally got it. So to snookems, from teddy-poo bear, if the cool night air chills you, just think of Mel. (grinz)

I sit and attempt to think
But no thoughts seem
to flood from my head
I can only think of
the face
that gives no inspiration
but only love
I can't please
with no inspiration
for their is no words
that can describe the
face I see
No passion that one
can only say
A man...
Who cannot be expressed through words
Expression is much too deep
in my own heart
So I write this now
knowing
that such a creature
with its darkened features
broad, strong shell
long, curved fingers
and an open heart
His silence...
is my comfort
His words...
are my wisdom
His eyes...
are my portal
the gateway to heaven on earth


Love ya Calvin <3


This one...I didn't put up earlier. This one I think is one of my favorites, its just so deep. If you really get into the words, you'll see the pain I was going through at the time. I believe this is one of most well-expressed poems I've ever written. If you could send me your comments, that would be great. :)


Secret Pain

Confusion overcomes me
I am not what I seem
Love and hatred fill my heart
which to choose
where to go
I close my eyes
shut them ever-so-tight
see my tears form crystals
of their own.
They fall
into the palm of my hand
shiny, and glowing bright
They're tears of myself
Parts of my confusion
my hatred
my love
I pray that these tears
stop
But they continue to fall.
Silently, forcefully
into the deep depths
of my soul.
