Poetry from the Past - Awakening the Poems from the Poetry Slams of Old

Bring Me Down

Negative energy surrounds me
It has found me
It's all around
And kicks me to the ground
I'm bound
To fail
To be arrested without bail
And get seperated from my trail
I complain
About the strain
And the pain
That constantly keeps me down
And out
I live in doubt
I live without
The ability to shout
As I'm drowning
And I'm frowning
Because I can't
Rant and rave
I'm a slave
To the unspoken
I have the token
To silence...

Love is a Maze

Love is a maze
Psychological haze
A phase
We go through
A groove we flow to
That's unknown to
Those around
That surround
Your outer shell
That fights off all hell
But no one can tell
They can't read
Or feed...your need
For the maze, that's ablaze
It's love, that's all
But you can't catch me if I fall
I'm out of reach
Amd you can't breach
The wall
Of reality
It's so hard to see
So I crash and burn
And I learn
That love hurts
And it won't work
If you don't reciprocate
Or anticipate
The blind love within
It's a win-win situation
Without frustration
If you follow your heart
And you begin to see
It's there between you and me
We're in the haze
Amongst the maze and in the groove
Nothing left to do
But give in; give up
And follow me, into the love
