The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

This one we had to do to something of our choice with representation of the five senses to describe it. It took me a little bit to think of something but this is what I thought of.





~Love~



Love is a rainbow.

It sounds like a heartbeat,

Calming and soothing but sometimes pounding fast.

It tastes sweet like chocolate,

But sometimes bitter like salt.

It smells like many flowers,

But sometimes it can seem too strong like at a funeral.

It looks like the ocean,

Calm yet always moving and sometimes rough.

It makes one feel happy and welcome,

But sometimes sad or confused.

A very nice poem by you,I loved poems so you'll most likely get a comment from me on all of your poems.I lost my power to write poems a long time ago and most of the poems you will see In my journal are old poems.And If I do write any poems then most of them are sad poems of egf I've had In the past.But I've written some happy poems of egf when I was going out with them.Strangely enough most people seem to like my darker poems more then my happy poems.lol

Another poem I wrote a couple of years back. I liked how this one turned out.





~Emotions~



Fleeting and always changing

like a calm wind that can easily

stir up a hurricane somewhere else.

It's like a calm mirrored surface

of a lake that leads to

rapids and a waterfall

before a constantly moving sea.

It's like a calm peaceful day

before a storm rages in.

Sometimes even multiple feelings

can confuse at the same time.

Love and hate,

happiness and sadness,

joy and envy.

But it's only human nature to

feel emotions.

Can't really remember the exact time I wrote this but it was in winter (of course) when I was looking out the window at the snow. I think I was spacing out in class instead of paying attention. And since it's winter outside now (and like near zero outside sadly) I thought I'd put this up.







~Winter~



The air is still and quiet

as the dark clouds cover the sky.

A chill wind blows from the north

and a line of geese honk as they fly by

breaking the silence for only a moment.

White powder covers the ground

that the chilly wind picks up and

swirls like a snowglobe.

Then the first flakes of snow fall from the clouds.

Silently they fall like little cotton puffs

to add to the powder already on the ground.

Softly and silently the snow keeps falling.

This one I had written the chorus part to and showed it to Josh. He said it was really good and so both together worked on verses and changed a little of the chorus to go smoother and this is what became of our song we wrote together. I can't remember the chords for it though. T__T They're written down somewhere or Josh might remember. Anyways, this was written during Senior year in April of 2007.







"Time To Heal"

(Lyrics by: Sara Bailey and Josh Oddy)



I come to you to ask what to do.

Just a small favor, nothing major.

But all you do is push me away;

tell me to come back again some other day.



(Chorus)

I wonder why I try.

And I wonder why I bother.

And I wonder why I cry,

When I'll have to deal with another.

All this trouble just to tell you what I feel.

But now I need some time to heal.



I wonder what to do

Should I say to you

"Come again another day?"

and do like you did to me

and push me away?



(Chorus)

I wonder why I try.

And I wonder why I bother.

And I wonder why I cry,

When I'll have to deal with another.

All this trouble just to tell you what I feel.

But now I need some time to heal.



(Instrumental Break)



Turning to me this time

like nothing ever happened

you want my help

yet you refused to help me then.



(Chorus)

I wonder why I try.

And I wonder why I bother.

And I wonder why I cry,

When I'll have to deal with another.

All this trouble just to tell you what I feel.

But now I need some time to heal.

This was another song I'd attempted writing back in Sophomore year of school with the other one. Again, it's quite depressing from the rough times I was going through then. And also again, Josh helped me change some of the lyrics around to help it flow smoother.







"My Melancholy Song"

(lyrics by: Me and help from Josh)

Riff: G, D, A, D





This melancholy feeling

swirls around my heart.

The pain it causes me,

stabs me like a dart.

I try to run, and I try to hide

But the feelings won't subside.



(Chorus)

Loneliness loves me like the night loves the stars.

Pain loves me like shadows love the dark.

This never ending feeling;

rejection from the start,

hits straight to my heart.



Turned away by others,

ignored and invisible,

I do what I do.

Sitting in the dark, lonely night,

listening to my songs,

wishing I were a bird to take flight away from here.



(Chorus)

Loneliness loves me like the night loves the stars.

Pain loves me like shadows love the dark.

This never ending feeling;

rejection from the start,

hits straight to my heart.



(Instrumental Break)



These dark lonely nights

fade slowly out of my sight.

Slowly as I fall asleep

and pray my dreams happy keep.



(Chorus)

Loneliness loves me like the night loves the stars.

Pain loves me like shadows love the dark.

This never ending feeling;

rejection from the start,

hits straight to my heart.



This melancholy feeling

swirls around my heart.

The pain it causes me,

stabs me like a dart......

I was going through more old blogs and found one of my first songs I attempted to write back in Sophomore year. Hard times were quite big then, that much I remember. I had put them away and then one day when one of my friends that knows more music than myself came over (this was a couple of years later too during Senior year) I found my old lyrics I'd attempted and showed him. He was pretty impressed and with his help to make the verses and chorus go smoother and stuff, we switched some lines around and all and this is what became of my original song "Namida no Kokoro (My Crying Heart)". It goes a lot better than the original. I might post the other one up here later to show the differences. But anyways.....







"Tears of My Heart"

(lyrics by: Me with help from Josh)

Riff: Em, G, Am, Em





A lone tear falls down my cheek.

I have no idea what I did.

I feel so sad but what can I do?

What can I do to make it up to you?



(Chorus)

Tears of my heart,

Why do I cry?

What can I do to make it up to you?

Please tell me what I did,

For I'm bleeding tears from my heart.



I think I know what I've done.

Could it be I've ignored you for far too long?

Could it be I'm just naive and dumb?

Always complaining when you've had enough to hear

I guess it was always too much for me to bear

You were someone I could talk to that was always there.



(Chorus)

Tears of my heart,

Why do I cry?

What can I do to make it up to you?

Please tell me what I did,

For I'm bleeding tears from my heart.



(Instrumental Break)



(Chorus)

Tears of my heart,

Why do I cry?

What can I do to make it up to you?

Please tell me what I did,

For I'm bleeding tears from my heart.



Cold and alone (cold and alone)

Silent tears do flow (silent tears do flow)

Dark of night (dark of night)

You're my light (you're my light)



Tears of my heart (my heart)

Why do I cry? (I cry)

What can I do to make it up to you? (up to you)

Please tell me what I did (what I did)

For I'm bleeding tears from my (bleeding tears)

Heart



Tears of my heart (my heart)

Why do I cry? (I cry)

Please tell me what I did (what I did)

Another older poem of mine we had to write in the villenelle style. It's my only one I've been able to write like this lol. I mostly do open poetry since there's no format to follow. Anyways, enjoy.





~Night Storms~



From dark clouds jumps a flash of light,

and a rumble of thunder sounds in the dark.

Rain falls steadily all through the night.



Headlights cut in a beam of white

and the sound of a dog's lone bark

from dark clouds jumps a flash of light.



Crash of thunder loud enough to send fright

to young children hiding under blankets in the dark,

rain falls steadily all through the night.



A writer looking out the window in delight

as the storm rages over the nearby park

from dark clouds jumps a flash of light.



The storm keeps on reaching its height

a bolt of lightning hits its mark.

Rain falls steadily all through the night.



Thunder dies away at the approach of dawn's twilight

as the sun tries to cut through the dark.

From dark clouds jumps a flash of light.

Rain falls steadily all through the night.

I wrote this back in September 2006 after we had a storm come through at night and I woke up in the middle of the night and ended up watching out my window for a little.





~Rain and Storms~



Plip, plip, plip.

Sounds of the first raindrops hit the ground softly

from the dark clouds hiding the night sky.

Suddenly the clouds open and rain falls steadily.

Sound of a car passing on the wet pavement,

headlight cutting through the falling water.

Then out of nowhere a bright flash of light illuminates the sky.

Suddenly sound of thunder rolls softly through the air.

A soft wind blows getting a little stronger as the storm approaches.

Another bright flash and a large crash of thunder

resonates throughout the air and rain falls harder and heavier.

More thunder and lightning rumble and flash throughout the night

into the early morning hours from soft to loud, dim to bright.

Finally, the wind softens again, the flash of lightning from far off in the distance,

and soft rumble of thunder dying away into the night.

Rain lets up to a light mist and clouds linger on as the sun rises.

Another poem of mine I wrote. I believe October of 2006 if I remember right. All I remember was it was an interesting (but not very fun time) due to drama going on with friends. I guess this was what I was feeling at the time.







~Masks~



Masks.

Everyone wears them.

For most it's everyday.

It's not Halloween masks,

it's emotional ones.

A masquerade ball everyday,

hiding their real feelings from others.

Sadness behind the happy mask,

pain behind the love.

Loneliness behind the anger,

emptiness behind the laughter.

Never knowing the 'real' person behind the mask.

Afraid of disappointment; of rejection.

Rather live a lie to make others happy

than to show their true selves.



One phrase to remember though to those that wear those masks:

"Always be yourself. For those who matter, don't mind; and those that mind, don't matter."

Again, going on more poetry I've written. This also was back in Junior year of high school (2005/06).





~My Promise~



Love.

Four little letters making a small little word.

A little word that can mean so much to someone.

A word that can be so good for someone to hear or

it can be a word someone never wants to hear again.

I can't say I've had much to do with the word itself.

I've had crushes come and go but I'm still waiting for that special person to come along.

And I want to make a promise to myself and to the one that I will be with when I find them someday.



I promise to never break your heart.

I'll be true to you.

I'll love you unconditionally.

I'll be your shoulder to cry on if you need one.

I'll be there to comfort you when you need to be comforted.

I'll be there to hold you and have a good time.

I'll be there to laugh and have fun.

I'll treat you with respect.



But all I ask is only a few things in return.



Please do not break my heart that I give to you to hold and cherish.

Please be true to me in return.

Please love me back with all your heart.

Please ask me if there's anything wrong and comfort me if there is, even if it's only a little bit, I'll appreciate it always.

And please treat me with respect.



Simple little things I love always

whether it be a simple rose saying 'I love you',

a home cooked dinner or even taken out to one,

or a movie at home or at the theaters.

It doesn't matter how small it is but it says a lot to me.

So please with my promise to always love and cherish you,

promise me you'll do the same thing too.

Well I love writing so I figured I'd put some of my poetry I've written up here. They range in different feelings as to whatever I was feeling at the time when I wrote them. This one happens to be an old one back when I was in junior year of high school (in 2005/06).





~My Wings~



Some days I feel

like I can't get up.

It feels like the world

just presses upon me;

burdening issues I can not bear.



Some days my candle

it does not want to stay lit.

The cold and the wind of

others trying to blow it out;

blow out the creative thoughts and ideas

that I dream of to write and express,

dimming the light of my flickering candle in darkness.



Some days these wings of mine,

they don't want to open and fly.

My wings feel broken and torn and ragged,

leaving me on the cold, hard ground.



Suddenly these burdens are lifted

from my shoulders.

This flickering candle of mine

is joined by many others in the darkness.

These wings of mine are healed

and I'm being lifted from the ground.

Looking up and around I see

the many faces of my friends as

they help me to fly, lifting my burdens and helping to keep my candle lit.

Thank you.
