  The Number of Fear

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Can I do this on this day Or will my fear keep me away? I would rather speak to her alone, But I fear to again postpone. I wish just to know her more, But forever my fear will implore. I single question I wish to ask And so there's this fear I must mask. Soon by her I shall pass An...

  Life of Pain

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Look around and what do I see? All of these people staring at me. I've never had anything, even my life, Nothing but all of this strife. They mock and laugh. They cannot see What they've done to me. In this world my life is gone. Might as well move myself on. But this leaves m...

  The Puddle

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  I do not know where I stand As I'm pulled into sinking sand. This place is crumbling everyday. Can I stand to fight this way? I wish to know who's my foe And not be surprised when his face does show. As I leave behind my only friend, I hope only to return in the end. This foe ...

  Friend

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Am I just to sit and stare Or am I the one just to glare? Should I feel naught at all Or keep alive this bitter gall. Anger I do not feel But, this love is very real. For reasons I do not know, From my heart it tries to flow. A target it did not need But, my will it does not heed, When...

  Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  There are reasons that I write I might be feeling this contrite; Some things I wish not to spread, What might ensue makes me dread. It could be sins of my past Or it's thoughts of my last. I could have a love not shown That burns down to my bone. But now I write of my thought, Jus...

  Maybe Then

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Oh, the hand of God is the name of fate And Time is the essence I do hate. If only I could seize this day And not just watch it waste away. Never does the time stop running out As the moments do just scatter about. Will tomorrow be too late? Or is it in stone, the name of fate? Happy is ...

  Why Why

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  I have a question to ask, That has no yay or nay And this I could not mask No matter the time of day. It comes in moments of thought. It exists in idle times. It runs from the grief I brought To replace my weary rhymes. I may fail to speak, But never will I fail to wonder. When fear is...

  Faerie of the Night

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  This love is here by the day. Never shall it fade away. For you alone it always thrives, So onward me it ever drives. If ever me you were to love, I would make you feel above, Kiss you as the ocean does its shore. Yet, for you I still explore. Ceaselessly I will search, Just to find you...

  The Turn Around

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  To whom do my poems go? From me are they is all I know. You may read them if you dare Or if you truly choose to care. If they do make you mad, Am I the the one who is bad? Just be cause I said, "I'm sad," Is that the reason I am bad? I write to increase the levity When I...

  The Volcano

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  This I wish to do, Just to show my love for you. It I am to stow away, Never to see another day. So there it sits in a cave, Just to grow and make me rave. Insane I feel, Truth indeed, But this creates a silent need. Long I've tried to stave it off, Even to poison its water trough....

  Valentine's Day

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Honored am I to take your gaze, As my esteem it does raise. Nothing am I compared to thee, This I feel when you gaze on me. As I stare in your eyes, My pulse, it tends to rise. Here's a rose, red indeed, As I felt this the need. Happy Valentine's day...

  Encircle

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  What am I to do when my heart encircles you? How am I to act when I've agreed to this pact? I've failed you before and my heart ignores this lore. I wish not to fail again, just put my mind in a pen. You it will try to follow, but this causes sorrow. If only for the morrow, you then...

  The Extension V.2

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  The dirt beneath your feet feels higher than I. Nothing written here can I ever deny. To the scum beneath your heel I could never be worthy to kneel. I could never describe this emotion; These words barely touch the surface of this ocean. I will try to tell you how I truly feel, Even if the...

  An Extension

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  The dirt beneath your feet feels higher than I. Nothing written here can I ever deny. This is how I feel; as slimy as an eel, But it is impossible to tell you how I truly feel. I will do my best, as my best I always try. The chances cause the weight but to multiply, And the pain I feel allow...

  An apology

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Oh, to compare thee to a summer's day Would be to sound a bit cliché. To write of you would be unfair As my many words could not compare. I write of my love for you, Yet these words still barely do; As all my words do sound dull Because either's shine renders them null. If thi...

  A Love Note

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Of this love do I write, Without a target in its sight. So to all does it flood, This passion burning in my blood. Without a reason, without a cause, Does this feeling make me pause. Standing here, crippled with fear, Afraid of my mistakes so near. I wish not to scare, not to al...

  This I love to do: Just to write for you. My passion and my love Is to make you feel above. How long must I chase Just to see your lovely face? I wish to have you by my side, For our paths to collide. This is my greatest desire: But to feel your inner fire, Just to have you here, For...

  Book of Life

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Why must I be afraid? Am I unable myself to aid? This must be my fatal flaw. My mind is conquered by this law. Always must I hate myself; Never can I leave it to the shelf. Can I ever be alone? For my sins I must atone. Follow me they always will: Seven Generations will they kill. The...

  The Pursuit

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Can I have a moment? Is that too much to ask? I have a need; to comment On this lonely task. I'm sitting here all alone With no one here to call my own. Am I just to think, "Has this brought me to the brink?". I wish I knew What to do. I'll not finish this...

  Icy Hate

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  Icy hate is all around. Love here does not abound. Death has had its grip, Suicide was but the tip. If the bullies had their way, I'd not see this shining day. If I'd felt their wrath, You'd not have met my path. But, God said, "Not this day, You shan...

  A Loneliness

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  So connected are we now, Ne'er out of touch this day. I must just question how And why I feel this way. So alone it seems to me. This this feeling's out of bounds, I'm lost in this human sea. So many do surround. I'm lost do you see? All these tears are ju...

  A Choice

  

  By JeremiahSamuelTemple, Monroe, LA

  In this life, A simple question asked, A dream, no strife, Nothing is backed. Just something to chase, Nothing to lose, No ground, no base, You have just to choose. A life, a love, something I've never had, so many to rise above, you mustn't be driven mad. ...
