Locked in the Fun House

CoolB — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:25:57 +0000

Carefully I creep,
And I don’t make a peep.
Ready to bolt when the chance is here,
Needing to escape this place I fear.
I don’t know what to do,
Very certain I am through.
Already this place feels like a prison,
Locked in the fun house really isn’t.

A Mirror Image

Every day she used to look,
Getting to know the outer cover of her book.
And wishing she felt as good within.
Many times she tried to look past,
In her mind though she could not pass.
Rejecting the beauty others saw within.
Only now does she finally see,
Reality as it is truly meant to be.
Ready to admit what to others was always clear.
Inside beauty is how she now defines,
Made to see the day she was struck blind.
And never more slave to the mirror.

Beyond the Dome

CoolB — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 03:54:37 +0000

I sit in silence,
Staring out into space.
I glance at the time,
To the exit I want to race.
Only I can’t leave yet,
Very soon but not quite time.
Every second seems like forever,
Really this is far from sublime.
Yes I want to leave,
Ending this viewing of the courts,
Truly, I really really dislike watching sports.

Chocolate

(This poem was written in th epoint of view of someone who picks the beans to make the chocolate.)

Sun beating down,
Not another break for a while.
And I’m not sure I can make it til then,
Even though giving up is not my style.
But I work too hard to get paid what I pick.

Lost in a Dream

CoolB — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:13:30 +0000

Don’t know what’s going on,
Reality seems skewed.
Every thing’s not quite right,
And no one else seems clued.
My mind keeps slipping past,
So many things that might help me see.
Cluing me into the fact I’m in,
An altered reality.
Perhaps I’m just paranoid,
Every time I wake up that reality becomes void.

Two Steps Back

CoolB — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 02:44:08 +0000

The clock moves slowly forward,
While I wait for your response.
One, two, three seconds seem like years,
So hard to act with nonchalance.
The waiting is killing me,
Every second an eon.
Perspective has a way of changing,
So soon after telling her she’s the one.
But in reality it’s only a moment,
And is over in a snap.
Course I took one step forward,
Kicking myself as I take one step back.

Reign It In

CoolB — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 01:37:13 +0000

The blood boils within me,
Eyes yearning to glare.
My tongue wants to say something,
Perhaps I should dare?
Every time I think that though,
Reality sets in.
The downsides flow through my mind,
And I know it wouldn’t solve a thing.
Nor would it help later on,
The repercussions could be the pits.
Really not good at all,
Under the circumstances..
My best bet is to reign it in.

Island of Dreams

CoolB — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 05:05:24 +0000

I wonder how it would be,
Solitude all around me.
Letting the trials of life slip away,
And just relaxing from day to day.
No worries, no cares, no stress at all,
Doing naught, except maybe the swimmers crawl.
Oh how grand it seems,
For shame it’s only in my dreams.
My mind can be so cruel at times,
Yet further in it I explore and climb.
Daring to go off on tangents,
Rarely hindered by the suspense.
Every turn is someplace new,
And though I know I must soon say adieu.
My day will be just a little better,
Soon as I share the dream in this letter.

Just a Dream

CoolB — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:40:44 +0000

Darting back and forth,
Running for all I’m worth.
Every where I turn,
Another reality discerned.
My mind is so confused,
Somehow I’m not amused.
Course when all is said and done,
And the story has been spun.
Perhaps it’s not some scheme,
Ending up instead to be a dream.

Inner Strength

CoolB — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 01:50:29 +0000

So confused,
The days seem to be getting harder.
Running to and fro,
Every turn I make seems to be wrong.
No matter what happens tho,
Go on I must.
Til I reach the end of the journey.
Home with you.
