Juliet

"Oh rich and famous Juliet"

That's what they all call me

But I don't want to be trapped forever

In this room, disguised as a gold coated room

I should marry in the family, with power and wealth

What happened to love and care in a marriage?

So I ask the stars at night, high in the sky

"Where's my path? Where does it lead?

Which way should I take?"

Another day, another proposal, another ball

I decline as always

I know why father is getting strained

He wants the power I can get him

So on my balcony I ask the moon

Blood red tonight

"Where's my prince? The one to rescue me?"

And I wait on this balcony

My link to the outside

My only place of freedom

And wait for my rescue

Burn - My First Poem Last Year

The smoke, the fire
                  Never to die
          Never alive
     The fire burns like a war
Always raging
                  Never dieing
          Never living

Lost Love

They ran through the woods during a storm
Lightning illuminates their path
Two lovers, never to love
Families forbidden
As they run, trackers follow
Whether they survived, I cannot say
When a storm comes
You can still see them
Running from the pursuers

Power

We hide out
Breathing slowly and softly
Shots ring out and we stay quiet
We knew our neighbors
Now no longer
We hear them rushing in
Destroying everything we hold dear
I dig myself clear of the other bodies
To a corner hidden from view
I don't know how long to stay here
So I keep still in the night
Hoping to stay out of the nightmare

World Without Me

Sitting down in a shaded place
Family and friends come and go
Some carrying flowers and letters sent to me
As I watch them and they don't see me
They all say the same things
"It's been too quiet,
It's been too long,
In this world without her"
Years go and someone new is gone
So now they wonder
How the world is
Without us

Set Me Free

I'm no Juliet, on the balcony
Waiting for a Romeo, who might set me free
Even though he might never arrive
I still wait here for him, trying to survive
As many people walk past
I know it can't last
Cause I wait forever
For someone who can't ever come
I need someone to save me
I want someone to save me from this world

Silent Cries

Looking up, she lets the tears mix with rain
Hoping none see the sadness in her dark eyes
The wind blows her hair into her face
Not bothering to brush it away, she walks on
The woods welcome her as she marches in
Making sure none hear her silent cries
Leaning against a strong willow for more strength
As lightning flashes and thunder rolls

This World

          The bombs explode and nothing remains
Only death and heartache
          A person is killed by a handgun
Just because they were there
          Another love is ended suddenly
Now a single parent all alone
         The child cries but nobody hears
Only a grave remembers her
          A fire burns and all is lost
Just because someone was bored
          Another prayer is heard, across in the little room
Now nothing is left except a dream

Love Across Time

The cold wind blew across the barren plain
In his cave-like home, he stayed close to the fire
The flames creating images in his delusional mind
He sees images of a life now lost
A love now gone
As he wind howls through his old house
It kills the fire
His warmth, his delusions gone
The wind freezes his blood
Eyes still focused on the empty hearth
Now empty of a soul
He travels across space for a short bit
He sees someone waiting for him
Wearing the same white dress from years ago
Holding out a gloved hand
Reaching for each other once again
Until the next life can bring them together again

New Update!

So I almost have 480 views! Thanks to all who comment and give me a reason to get my lazy butt out of bed. I actually thought that this blog would be a "dud" with only about two views a month. Special thanks to Clair Lair and Ishy-kun! You have made If Only You Knew and In The Distance my two top poems, with Lone Drawer close behind. The next few poems will all be older ones I made last year when I was bored. The quality will be slightly worse than the ones I write online completely new.
Also I'm thinking of putting some bits and pieces of my books on here. If you want to see a specific genre on here such as Historical Fanasy (like The Hunted and my ten other Matisya books.), my Manga Idea I had, (mostly just the background stories), or Other (being Water's Best Kept Secret and any other others I find in my eleven notebooks). Comment to help me choose!
And Ishymaru. You are not aloud to pick the background stories.

Who Am I?

I am invisible,
I am plain,
I am nothing in most peoples' eyes.
I am self conscious,
I am different,
I am nothing like I want to be.
I am funny,
I am a comedian,
I am someone who loves to smile.
I am Usagi,
I am Elean,
I am all three that hide in my head.
I am shy,
I am out there,
I am whatever the second demands.
But you can't except that.
In your eyes
I am a liar,
I am a thief,
I am nothing but a witch.
I am unmerciful,
I am unitelligent,
I am someone who doesn't understand love.
Now I know where my heart truly lies,
I know where I should go,
I know what to believe.
I know everything is worth it if you make a smile.

In the Distance

You feel something on your back,
But you turn and nothing is there.
I'm watching from my shadows in silence.
As you know me, but really don't know my heart.
We laugh and we live
But fear of my heart keeps me away,
You see the mask I wear around others,
And you've seen me as me.
You're playing games with you're other friends
As I watch from my corner
You are so close but yet so far away
It's as if you are in a different world.
I'm an invisible, plain girl
I know why you haven't seen me watching you.
I'm in the distance, behind you, making sure
That even though you don't know me,
I'm watching out for you.
In my own corner.

True Love

As I sit near my open window,
A breeze moves the clouds over the moon.
My one bright star in the heavens is hidden from me once again,
Every morning the same, just a glimpse of that star,
Between the rain clouds that seem to drag me down.
Every night I stare out my open window.
Towards my bright star I love,
My star is like a love.
Sometimes there, sometimes hidden.
You know it's there but you just can't reach it
Only time can tell when the clouds will reveal you again.
My one true love hidden by those gray clouds.

My New Treasure

Sitting in an old shelf in an older house,
Dust collecting in every crack and crevice,
In disrepair and missing parts,
No one ever looks at the bottom shelf.
Just sitting, watching other treasures leave you behind.
You see another pair of legs appear in the doorway,
Crouching down a girl stares at the old painted wood,
Brushing some dust off, she turns to wind up the music,
Despair as nothing is heard.
She walks off, just like the rest.
Later she returns again,
Picking up the old box and an older doll.
Downstairs to the cashier,
For once being cleaned and cared for,
Once again having music come from the ebony wood.
Being treasured by loving hands for once again.
