Dream

by

Melissa Sloan

You will be gone like the wind and its blowing

Love can not go with you where you going.

Love fits his step to the man in the street

You ask the wings of the world for your feet.

Love is the width of a house and a bed

Why must the sky alone cover your head?

Yet who can say which is wisest or best

The dream in the heart or the dream possessed?

Letting Go

by

Melissa Sloan

Here is a rhyme to say how much I care
to express my feelings for you even
though you're no longer there

I took my chances and played the odds
gave everything I had but lost

I now sit here with an emptiness
my heart was the

expensive cost

I care so much about you
that I had to let you be

To let you find happiness with someone
if wasn't going to be me

But I want you to know
that I am still here hope
fills my soul inside

And as my mind starts to fill with tears
you know that I never lied

I hope someday you will read this poem
as I will always feel this way

Then maybe you will realize you
are someone special to someone
who thinks of you everyday

Looking For Yesterday

by

Melissa Sloan

I would walk across

the wasted lands

In hopes that someday

I would find you

I would swim across the

poisoned sea to feel your

gaze from the shore

I wonder if once I

have found you

You will find me in a place
you have already seen
and roamed

Take one more look down
that old worn path

And maybe you'll find
something new...

A freash set of footprints

Eyes Of Blackness

by

Melissa Sloan

Bluer than the sky look
into my eyes

Please don't ever say
good-bye

The bed where I sleep
is never warm

The floor in which I
walk is hard

Now look this is
what they see

Friend please don't
leave me

Pain, hurt, hate everything
bound up

I can't get loose

I am as crazy as
a goose

My eyes they sting

The blue is almost
gone

Blackness has come

Water

by

Melissa Sloan

Floating on the water
wandering why

The time ticken by

Look me in the eyes
tell me what it is
that you see

The water rocking back and

forth like that of the sea

Time slowly ticken by

Look in the sky

The tear drop of
my eye

My friend do
you see

Tell me do you really
love me

I hope the waves in the
water doesn't cause
no trust in me

Look at me I need
the warmth

Time slowly ticken by

The water cold

My heart is shaken it flows
with that of the waves

Just tell me what it
is you crave

Dear Lord

by

Melissa Sloan

Please dear lord understand I must
come to an end with
no pain or sorrow

Please dear lord understand that
the end must come tomorrow

My life is filled with
pain and sorrow

My life must come
to end tomorrow

My mind must never
think again

My feelings must never
find another heart

Please dear lord
let it all end

Please dear lord no more
pain or sorrow

Please take my life from
me tomorrow

The Song Of Sorrow

by

Melissa Sloan

I lye hear on the floor
thinking of the year before

I sit hear wandering what it
is I did so wrong

I care for you But you don't
care that you hurt me

All you had to do was
say one thing

Damn tell me what
today brings

I sit hear singing the
song of sorrow

I want to go into darkness
never to return

I want you I need
you but...

I look in your eyes
I see nothing

You look like you are empty
inside and out

What did I do
so wrong
I lye hear on the floor
thinking of the year before

I sit hear wandering what it
is I did so wrong

I care for you But you don't
care that you hurt me

All you had to do was
say one thing

Damn tell me what
today brings

I sit hear singing the
song of sorrow

I want to go into darkness
never to return

I want you I need
you but...

I look in your eyes
I see nothing

You look like you are empty
inside and out

What did I do
so wrong
I lye hear on the floor
thinking of the year before

I sit hear wandering what it
is I did so wrong

I care for you But you don't
care that you hurt me

All you had to do was
say one thing

Damn tell me what
today brings

I sit hear singing the
song of sorrow

I want to go into darkness
never to return

I want you I need
you but...

I look in your eyes
I see nothing

You look like you are empty
inside and out

What did I do
so wrong

The Battle Has Begun

by

Melissa Sloan

Brave young man
How tall you stand
In a dying world so ill

With black shiny boots
And your country's suit
You're marching on for the kill

With a rifle against your chest
You know you're the best
As your wings unfold to fly

As the sun sets low
And the wind begins to blow
The birds fall dead from the sky

With the morning sun
The battle has begun
You know the enemy must die

With a gun in his face

What a disgrace
You then look himm in the eye

"We a sons man you and I

Brothers we are," he replied
"I have no weapons, I'm full with fear
Please don't end my life."

The words he said
Echos in your head
And down the barrel of the gun

With a jerk of your hand
He falls to the sand
And the battle you've just won

Bitters

by

Melissa Sloan

Why do I keep Remembering--
Little things you said?
And the intimate way you said them?
Why do I cling....Remembering...
To a thrill...I should have
Long ago forgotten?
Why do I close my eyes... Seeking
To see you...As I beheld you...Then?
So near...And yet, even as now...
So far away...
You careased me...Adoring
For a space I lost identity
In the oneness of our being
And not even our fingertips
So much as touched
And...Your lips...?
I can not even remember them
Why...Must I keep remembering...
At all...I...Who have...So little
To remember?

Messing With The Master Of The Mind

by

Melissa Sloan

I will mess with your soul, and your heart
Like a blood-tipped knife, I will tear you apart.
I will cease no less to avenge your fear
Like a whisper in the dea-lit night you will hear.

I will hunt you down like a red-blooded hound
I wil come for you, you will hear no sound
Alone in the dark, you will be found
Dead and burried, deep in the ground.

You are no match for my mind or my power
For each passing minute- each passing hour
You can not run, you can not hide
>From the fear you posess deep down inside.

I will send you to hell with a caste and a spell
In the presence of evil and fire, you will dwell
You can not escape, you are dead in your feet
For you know now that I can not be beat.

I'm A master of the mind, it's a game i play
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day
So make your move, either life or death
Like a hound from hell, you can feel my breath.

Which ever you chose, you are dommed to the end

Hunted by creaters of the night I will send
Dragged by your limbs, you will meet your fate
I'll lure you down like some sort of bate.

You will cry and you will call for you to awake
>From this dreadful nightmare with a pain and an ache
You wish for no more-with that you give in
To your mind and your thoughts and to evil and sin.

Your life was a blur, but now you can see
That that's what you get for messing with me.
