   Fate Will Find Windows
                        by Samantha Powell
 
 
 
Fate will find windows, where love will find walls, 
     a place to surrender, to land when we fall, 
     to cherish our feelings, and live through the night 
     a safe place to run to, a hand to help fight. 

Fate will find windows, where hope finds regrets, 
     a memory to cling to, a soft silhouette, 
     a shadow of courage, to fight the despair, 
     a helpless surrender, we know will be there. 

Fate will find windows, where trust will find blame, 
     a bittersweet secret, when nothing's the same, 
     the burning desires, that jealousy spreads, 
     the shame often sides with, that tortures the dead. 

Fate will find windows, where life will find death, 
     the shimmer of heaven, that gives one last breath 
     the wish we all long for, that turns fear to glee, 
     the hope that our fate, will set us free.

 


 
When Fear Resides 
    by Samantha Powell
 
Worn behind a painted smile, 
laced with crystal tears, 
it watches what it prays to be 
transforms to what it fears. 

It hides it's truth with blinding stares, 
and begs it won't be seen, 
that tiny consequential tear 
that longs to be set free. 

It buries all its worries  
with its perfect molded frame 
Its small glass heart, its broken beat 
the doll without a name. 

It takes its worl on, day by day 
afraid of letting go 
afraid of what the crying means 
and everything it knows. 
It sits in holy silent nights 
and screams its unheard plea 
the once so strong and vibrant glass 
is breaking piece by piece. 

The painted smile worn away, 
and nothing's quite the same 
it isn't what it used to be 
and everything had changed. 

It's broken past has set it free 
it's fear of life subsides. 
It finally steps into the light 
no longer does it hide. 

It doesn't know of what it feared, 
or why its hope had died 
but if you listen in the night, 
you may still hear it cry.

I'll Be Fine
By Kristin Gainer
 
I'll be fine without you
I won't even cry-
Even though I know,
"I love you," was a lie.
Even though you hurt me
More than words can say-
I can turn around,
I can walk away.
So, go on with your life;
I'll go on with mine-
Getting past the knowledge
All you did was lie.
I'm willing to be friends,
But it will take time-
You'll have to wait until I'm ready;
Until then...goodbye

Living in Fear 
By Cassie Martin
 
A broken heart can't fly 
when it's drowned in tears 
An angel can't help 
when you hide your fears. 
So I wander this Earth 
but stay in one place 
I wait for the end 
I hope that mine is near 
Who knows where we go  
When we give up hope? 
       I just don't know 
  
Deeper and deeper 
I sink in the sand 
My hands are tied and scraped 
My mouth is dry 
             I feel dead 
  
I watch them walk by 
Some stop to laugh 
They think they are better 
Maybe they're right 
Time is forever, it only goes on 
Changed are simple 
but nothing's the same 
Who know where we go  
When we give away our tears 
I don't wand to know 
        I live in fear.

Tears in Her Eyes
By Chad Anderson
 
I see it in her eyes,
in the morning it hurts to see her cry
The pain and sorrow are running her life
As tears run down her sweet face
my heart aches with sadness
As I lay awak all night with her in my arms
As tears run down my cheeks,
I wonder when the morning will come
to say our final goodbye

Angel's Rain
By Seth Martin
 
Down from the heavens rained the tears of one betrayed...  
My soul to catch the drop and know the woes...  
He held in his hand the world of an angel's heart....  
Of which he tore it to shreds of distraught confetti...  
Which he so eloquently disregarded to the floor...  
Her hand so far away in heaven for me to touch...  
My words my only way to ease her spirits pain...  
Know that the colors of ones being will always shine clear...  
Despite that which holds her down...  
A ray of gold will always reflect in my eyes...  
If karma does exist for love...  
His passion's kindling shall burn bittersweet...  
Until he can feel the pain of this angels heart...

    Unburdened  Slumber
    By Seth Martin
     
    Across a starry remote midnight sky ...
    Two minds bridge distant extents...
    One lay with ill dreams abroad...
    And of those burdens that may impede...
    To my mind come un-easing figments...
    Of pure haunting leaden despair...
    Come thine whispers of solicitudes...
    And let my angel take her slumber...
    Sleep deeply now my angel...
    I will encumber the nightmares present...
    Rest now for I will fast from slumber...
    So my angel can take her peace...



 
Sorrow's Pool
By Seth Martin
From the passage to my soul,
often a painful river flow,
to wash away distraught emotions,
into sorrow's pool bellow,
by daybreak it shall be dry,
come another day for me to cry...

Passion's Past
By Seth Martin
 
It's, been so long, since I have seen you,
I, have grown fond, of my dreams of you 
But I will go on
I will grow up 
In my solitude
I'm caught in my web of… 
Distraught emotion, 
I will break free from this pain once again. 
You, made me feel, closer to complete, 
Just, one more step, towards my inner peace 
I will survive
In my sorrow 
With out you I will strive forward… 
Just one more day, 
Till my heart can fully love once again.

Divine Separation
By Seth Martn

I say oh great father, why are we so afraid to die 
Its not as if this world has a lot to offer why 

In this death we might just find, a new life for us to cry 
It's with the sorrow that we feed our red tear filled eyes 

With this pain I will promise, I will be there a little more 
Never to be a phantom stumbling through your closed door 

Oh great father father father, I'll be sad to see you leave 
I'm sorry I wont join you, your god the path I didn't weave 

I just hope to a better place, your god will take you there 
I will be just a lost soul, burning eternal with despair 

All my faith in that one-day, when we can spend a little time 
No longer needing to explain, who was right or wrong?
