Preghiera di Speranza (prayer of hope)

I hope  one day to be heard.
I hope one day I'll find,
A hope that lasts all time.
I pray that God gives me peace,
And a soul no longer in pieces.
This poem is all broken up,
As well as my thoughts.
This is my prayer of hope,
God please come soon.
I cannot wait for the day,
When blood red is the moon.
People bring down my faith and say,
"You're stupid to believe".
But I know my God took the time,
And carefully He made me.
While you think you're a mistake,
That came from goo or a monkey.
I pray that you find hope,
I pray that you find peace,
For one day this world will end,
And then where will you be?
This is my prayer of hope,
A hope for the world.

Broken Mind

This fear eats me alive,
A fear followed by strife,
Strife followed by brokenness,
And my soul's so sick of this.
What can I do? I'm trapped,
My strength is zapped.
I just can not go on.


Help me find a path home,
To Love, and loving arms,
Lacking of worldly charms.
For I'm a lost young lamb,
Searching for You, Great I Am.
And I'm afraid,
For time has dug a grave,
And farther every day I sink.
Cloudier do I think.
And I can no longer find my way.
In the dark I longingly sway.
I slave away,
Looking for the dawn of a new day,
Thinking of what to say.
Just take me away!

So It Seems

{Another poem from 9th grade.  This one's actually pretty random, I just threw it together one day}

Alone, unwanted, afraid, and lost.
Waiting, searching, hurting, maybe not.
Looking, longing, missing something.
The good, bad, things in between.
All the truths that transpose through me.
I'm an outcast to all outcasts,
I'm a lone warrior of God. . .
Or so it seems.
The truth is I'm not as alone as I appear.
I have a friend or two right there beside me.
I have God and I have angels.
I have the Truth and the Light.
I have my best friend, who is also my Knight.
When I forget these facts, I lose all hope.
When I forget, I feel I want to die.
I'll never forget what that friend did for me. . .
When he made me smile, he gave me life.
When he talked to me, I felt revived.
In my darkest times, he showed me the light.
He will always be my friend, my love, my knight.

Time for some FUN!! :)

These are a few tongue-twister haiku!!  Enjoy the tongue-tying fun!  :)

Purple paper Peregrines
Pluck pretty pigeons

From their petite promenade 

Orange orangutans order
oranges overboard
or organize overthrow

Teeny tiny tigers think
Tinkling in the
Tigris is totally fun

Freaky frolicking froggies
Flop into freezing
Fronds of flaky frozen ferns

Strife and Desire

Falling, falling, never stops.
I'm hoping, waiting, and nothing.
Failing, dieing, falling apart.
Hoping simply for something.

Pounding, echoes, never cease
Pounding my head and heart.
Praying for some sweet release,
Finding only pain and weakness.

Searching, searching, hope to find
Someone waiting for me.
Clambering for our hands to meet,
Only to be left lonely.

Weary, so weary, of it all.
My heart still pounds,
I still fall.
I'm still waiting for his hand.

Reaching, reaching to anyone.
I can no longer stand.
I'm crying, pleading.
Someone take my hand!

My heart is now embittered,
I do not want this.
So little that I want,
So much amiss.

I just want my other half
I just need some joy.
I need to hear him sing and laugh,
I long to feel him near.

Longing for that I'm promised,
For that I've prayed.
It's nothing much, please.
But alone I have stayed.

Sure, I have a friend.
He's kept me alive.
But give my strife an end,
And let me thrive.
Let me thrive.

You and the Rain

{This is another one from 9th grade.  Note: Sono Inamoramento is Italian for "I'm falling in love".  At the time it's what I felt.}

We stood on the steps before the rain,
Deciding if we should run or if we should stay.
We run.
Look at the sky at blues and grays,
Not gloomy, but beauty, like none could say.
We look.
The rain falls harder and now we're soaked,
We're both laughing, but no one joked.
We smile.
We stop for a moment to catch a break,
A look into your eyes is what I take.
Time stops.
Your eyes are like angels of silvery tones
Dancing behind a glass of sapphire stones.
I'm awestruck.
I'm breathless.
Only one moment.
I return to reality and all I see is
You're staring back at me.
I blush.
The rain has slowed down as we walk,
Never do touch, but stand close and talk.
sono innamoramento

Complexity, Simplicity

The complexity of the mind is an interesting thing,
How one person can have deja vu,
And the other only mere memories.
Is it possible that some are just gifted,
Not with superpowers or mindless yammering,
But with the ability to do and be more,
More than what we believe possible?
Is it possible that God creates people,
Extraordinary people with minds that see the soul,
With minds that are able to see the invisible?
Do we only say that the invisible doesn't exist,
Only because we are afraid?
Are we afraid of reality, of Heaven and Hell?
Of course we are, it's human nature,
Not the nature instilled by God,
But the fear we create ourselves.
When people say there is no God but them,
We believe because we don't want to face our sins.
Really I can say the simple truth is this:
An evil darkness is encroaching,
And we're blind to every bit of it.
Open your eyes and not be blinded by lies,
And maybe you'll see what I see.
Maybe you'll see the truth behind the veil,
The simple truth of God and the Devil,
Angels and demons, Heaven and Hell.
I know I'm supposed to be politically correct.
I know I'm supposed to sugar-coat this message.
I know that I'm supposed to lie to you,
But I can not do what I'm "supposed" to do.
So I'm here to tell you the truth:
You are on this earth not to follow the PC laws,
But to do all you were created to do and be.
You are more than anyone can understand or see.

Thank You

{This is a poem from 9th grade.  A poem of gratitude to a, then, dear friend.}

When I first came here, it seemed no one cared.
I was alone and unwanted, until you came near.
The first few days, so unwell I fared,
Until you said, "Hello, may I sit here?"

Few friends I had, and most I lost,
And life seemed so lifeless without you.
With those five words, life was worth the cost.
And when it came to friends, I was richer with few.

And so I wish I could only get the guts
To confess what I was trying to do,
To say with no if's, and's, or but's,
That, with all my heart, I thank you!
