Poetry of a Phantom, Zebrial J. Gossage [best story books to read TXT] 📗

BOTHERED BY ALL

Bothered by one
Bothered by all.
In your mind
You think you saw.
You saw nothing,
Nothing at all.
Bothered by one
Bothered by all.

Bothered by one
Bothered by all.
Your angers big
As your mind is small
You care about nothing,
Nothing at all.
Bothered by one
Bothered by all.

Bothered by one
Bothered by all.
You count your sheep,
don’t sleep at all.
Trapped behind
Addictions wall.
Bothered by one
Bothered by all.

Bothered by one
Bothered by all.
Your only friends
Aren't friends at all.
How quickly you’re left
Alone to fall
Bothered by one
Bothered by all.

ILLUSION OF HEARTS-

Love is an illusion
Plays tricks on the heart
Believe the delusion
Will all fall apart
Break the mirrors
Put together the pieces
Vanish the fears
Fill in the creases
Learn the illusion
Play the cards right
Defeat the delusion
See the true light
Bunny out of had
Magic has turned
Mastered the illusion
True love has been earned

LOST IN THE EYES-

You send shocks down my spine
Butterflies fill me within
Knowing you're mine
And you're mine till the end

Took so long just to have you
But worth all the while
Your presence would grab me
And force me to smile

When I'm with you I'm warm
It's a burning sensation
Oh, how I sweat for you
Intense dehydration

Love don't have a compass
I get lost in your eyes
Burnt by the stars
Your pupils of skies

Our auras combined
Creating a heart
Together forever
Right from the start

Years gone by
My words true as blue
A life well spent
A life spent with you

UNDER THE SURFACE-

When I'm trapped underneath
I have no apprehension
Your lies, my beliefs
Combined into tension
No lust
It must be love
No trust
It can't be love
When I came to the surface
I found some perspective
Your lies work no more
So sadly rejected
You realize what you had
Now its to late
Your fairytales over
Destroyed what was fate
No lust
It must be love
No trust
It cant be love

WORLD OF BEAUTY-

A world of beauty
Blossoms with pain
Clouds of despair
Flood us with rain
Bring us joy
No mist for tomorrow
Heart-warming sunbeam
Rid of the sorrow
Hope to the stars
Look to the moon
Pray that freedom on earth
Will be here soon
We are all equal
We all live and die
Then we all fade
To the house in the sky
Enjoy the life you have
Dream as high as a mountain
Share all your joy
Let it flow like a fountain
Relax and smile
Take life as a breeze
Be polite to your people
God loves those who please

GUARDIAN ANGEL-

My guardian angel

She promised to stay

She vowed to stay truthful

Her words died away

She loaded that gun

She fed me that led.

For so many nights

She lied in my bed

Her eyes lit the night

Her beauty deceiving

Feeling so confident

She'll never be leaving

My guardian angel

Who promised to stay

Pulled back the trigger

She killed me that day

TENDENCIES-

Dark Rain Clouds

They soar right above me

I look all around

There's nobody to love me

I seek a true friend

It's a hell of a find

I'm surrounded by nothing

I'm losing my mind

My head begins aching

I sit in this hell

One man, one gun, with one loaded shell

If I can't seek truth

I will seek God

Go out with a bang

No need to applaud

Empty gut feeling

Cruel minded creep

An echo of silence

Forever I sleep

HERO IN THE DARKNESS`

Torture my stability

Poison her fertility

Needle of the grave

Seeks out its hungry prey

Those who bite the poison apple

Are those who are bitten

Lost lives worth more than

Any poem I've written

False hero be gone

You don't belong in society

A world of beauty

You don't fit the variety

These are words of sobriety

Are words of true wisdom

Noone could agree more than

The victims who missed them

They were played by the system

They lost the game

Now all they are

Is a remembered name

A life in a death bed

Led in strange angles

If you fly your mind

You can't fly with the angels

Life's a given

Don't let something take it.....

THE LONG ROAD TO FREEDOM-

The long road to freedom

Your life till your death

how long will you suffer?

Till your dying breath

Walk your road

Smile alot

Whether it be true freedom or not

Appreciate the life you got

Don't bring others down

They may disappear

All that you hated

Your wishing were here

The long road to freedom

Is wherever you go

The more free you feel

The more you will grow

My road was cut short

It's so sad to say

The long road to freedom

Can't be walked in one day

THE VICTIM-

A shadow fills his mind
No guidance in his path
Visions seen so blind
Caught up in his wrath
He's now been kicked on
He's now been beat down
The bully walks home in peace

The devil steals his mind
Leads him down a path
Deeds done so promptly
Terror blood bath
He was kicked on
But now he's fighting back
Innocent lives gone
The victim sleeps at peace
He wanted no fame
He did it out of hate
Who's to blame?
His sadness?
His madness?
Or the bully?

THE GLASSBOX-

Trapped in a glass box

All you hear is trembles

All you see is silence

All you taste is ashes

Trapped in a glass box

The silence hears you

The trembles see you

You feel eaten alive

You need to break

The glass box

SILENT AND UNDER

Pre-bullet wound flesh
Sorry to introduce my friend
Such a cruel long road
Suffer till your own end
Fuck the worry
Life's to short to cry
Do to live, even as one must die
Who are we to judge
Torture is everywhere around
Life is hell, a future underground
Go out with a bang
To hell with the begging
Earn a living
Who cares if I die
Kill me now
Kill me proud
I wont sleep
Even if I'm silent and under

IMPATIENT ME-

Sweet sweet sunset

must you go away?

After bringing so much

Light to this day?

Now what to do
The world so dark
Won't you share
a sudden spark?

Impatient me

Selfish plea

Bring your sunlight

Back to me

I am lost now

I'm giving up

I die just as

The sun comes up

Impatient me
Selfish plea
Took the best
away from me
If only I had one more chance
I'd look up
for one last glance
Impatient me all alone
The simple things I should have known

OUTLINE-

Live for today

Hope for tomorrow

Smile for joy

Sing for the sorrow

Stand proud like a tree

But bright like the sun

Know your not the only one

These lines are man-made
They forced us to see
Can't we all grow
As one and be free

A life without lines

One big happy place

Not black, white, or red

Just one human race

If we feed off the lies
And live life in sorrow
There won't be any hope
or life here tomorrow...

THE EVIL CAT-

He stood so strongly

His back arched up high

Twas easy to tell

He wished I would die

He scratched so deeply

And shredded shoe laces

Such a terrible demon

Behind all those cute faces

We love him to death

As he hates us so

He's the craziest cute kitten

You'll ever know

MR. LONELY-

I feel so inflicted

As I lie here alone

My lungs feel constricted

For reasons unknown

She has gone away

I'm left here in silence

Thoughts of decay

Visions of violence

Blood shot eyes

Lead me a stray

For hopes of tomorrow

Will come a better day

I hate being lonely

Even when I want to be alone

I feel so empty

Like a dog with no bone

Lay by my side

I can't lie to myself

I need you more than ever

More than anything else

Please just appear

and rid of this fear

In hopes that tomorrow

My dear will be here

MOONSHINE-

Goodnight sweet dreams

I say to myself

As I lie in my bed

With nobody else

Close down my lids

And rest myself briefly

Who cares if I'm tired?

There's noone to leave me

I hate this wall of torment

It's blanker than my thoughts

I better take my eyes off

Before the dry wall rots

No more time paranoia

I now count my sheep

I snooze away softly

So sound and asleep
