Saya's Poems

[Saya Shuri]

Here is what's left of my collection of several poems....I had many, but they are gone now, save these. Anyway....

-
To Free Thy Mind, written 10-13-04
-
To free thy mind
The pain inside
Must be released
Must come to cease

It shall be hard
It shall take time
But grace thy Lord
To free thy mind

-
Words Alone Cannot Bind, written 11-10-04
-
All our lives we search
For that something we can't find.
We strive, we pray, we hope
To keep bad things off our mind.
But our actions can be cruel,
We forget to be kind.
We say we will be better,
But words alone cannot bind.

-
Grief, written 1-26-05
-
I watch my grief fall from the sky.
I wish someone would tell me why
I feel this way, I hurt this way
Why I have to make it through the days
And days and days of sorrow that pass me,
As I watch the tears fall on the leaves.

I watch my grief fall to the stone,
And wonder why I must be alone.
Give me my truth, give me my freedom, give me my rights!
And maybe then shall return the light.
Oh why, why, why must this pain course through me
As I and the sky, together we grieve?

I FOUND MY POEMS! THEY LIVE!

-
I Never Told Anyone
-
I never told anyone how I felt,
The pain inside, emotions felt.
I never thought that they would care,
They'd use me, abuse me, and leave me bare.
I kept it in for so damn long,
Now, my emotions are almost gone.

I never told them what I thought,
They wouldn't care, they'd let me drop.
Everything bottled up inside,
Roiling, boiling, emotions writhe.
I ask myself, "Would they have liked,
To see me dead, my head on a pike?"

I never told myself I would meet you,
I dreamed and dreamed, didn't think it'b come true.
You've calmed the chaos, gave me control of my life,
You cared, you helped me abolish the strife.
I met you, now all seems so real,
The emotions you instill, I never thought I'd feel.

I'll never tell anyone how I feel,
Your love for me has helped me heal.

-
Hate
-
If you knew how I felt
About the things in my world,
I believe you'd have smelt
The growing danger in my soul.

How I rage, how I hate,
If you had just tried,
You might have changed some things,
I might not have cried.

But now, when I look at you,
All I see are lies.
When I see you smile, I think,
"I just hope he dies."

And when you lay upon deathbed,
I'll stand there, and I'll laugh.
I'll lean over and say to you,
"Ha ha, you fool, you're dead!"

-
Why Does It Hurt?
-
Why does love hurt?
It feels good when you're here,
But when you're gone
I don't know what to do...

I go day by day
Just keeping you in my head
I know one day it'll all end
But when when when when when?!

I die every time your voice
Fades from the reciever,
I cry every time your face
leaves, I get even weaker.

When will the pain, the hurt,
When will it end? When can we be together
Forever? I don't understand...

Why does it hurt...?

-
Why???
-
why do i have to hurt?
why do i have to cry?
every time i think of you,
i feel like i could die!
from the pain and sorrow,
fearing tomorrow.
what do we do?
where do we go?
every thing i can think,
don't they even know?!
why do we have to hurt?
why do i have to hate?

-
Failure
-
Why do I always fail?
It's not fair, that I'm so frail.
Why should I keep going on
Why did I create these bonds?

I do not see why I should stay,
Except for one thing, but I'm kept away.
It doesn't make sense that I should be
In all this pain, just set me free!

All the Darkness closing in,
All this Pain, I'm wrapped in sin.
The Darkness that's surrounding me
Soon my spirit shall cease to be.
-

I don't feel the way most of these say anymore, they were written around the same time as the others, and I've changed a lot since then, but I still love them

[Saya Shuri]

Yay! I found another one that I'd completely forgotten about! This one I wrote in my 8th grade year (4-5 years ago). It may not rhyme, but it IS a poem - free style and it's inspired by a scene in Call of the Wild (awesome book!)

-----
The Hunt

I could smell, hear, taste, feel the frantic pounding of the wraith-rabbit's heart;
Down low, my underside skimming the snow-sheathed ice.

Ohhhhhhh! how I yearned to bathe in warm, coppery blood that which hid my skull from sight;
Bellowing the call of the hunt, threescore of my kin pursued the flitting wraith.

The diabolic white spirit puts a plot into action, cuts through the trees, not following the frozen river;
Unseen, unmissed, the evil one pursues the unwitting victim solo.

Chasing, ever running, I could almost feel the wraith's tail in my mouth;
The evil spirit bursts from the tree-cover, snatching my prey from in front of my muzzle.

I feel the rage of my ancestors, welling up in my breast like a great tide of wrath;
Bristling, snarling, like devils-incarnate, we circle inside the living ring of eyes.

The fight is long and arduous, I lunge, break the enemy's forelegs;
I stand back as he falls, the ring closing on him as do the petals on a flower when it sleeps...he sleeps the Eternal Sleep.

I am the victor! I shall lead those under me to greater Prosperity!
None shall oppose me.

The bully predator killed the prey...
Then the true Predator killed the unworthy.

Dedicated to Katalani...


I Think Of You

When I'm alone
And my mind's too much
And the rest of the world
Doesn't give a f***

I think of you....

When I'm around others
But you're not there
Though they all laugh
And I just stare

I think of you....

When I wake up
Cold in the night
I twist and I turn
And hope you're alright

And I think of you....

You're on my mind
No matter the time
Though you're not here
You're always near

And when you think no one else cares...
Think of me....because I care...
When life gets too heavy for your shoulders
Don't be afraid to hand me the boulder...

I'm stronger than we know, because I think of you.
