i was going through all of my poems -or at least all of them that i can find at the moment- because i'm going to write them all down in one book to make it easier to find them all.. and i was putting them in order by who/what inspired them and how important they(the poems) were to me anyways, these are the 4 poems that were inspired by a good friend of mine, whom for his sake I'll refer to as R. (not so sure he'd appreciate me posting his name all over the internet ) so, i just decided to share them.. he hasn't read them yet, but if he reads the letter i gave him earlier tonight, he'll at least know that i wrote them.. i told him that if he ever decided he wanted to read them to let me know... after reading them, do you think he'll appreciate them? thanks, - stykz - R. I taste you on my lips Your scent clings to my skin How can something feel so good And still be called a sin So wont you take me by the hand And lead me to temptation I promise not to go astray For you are my salvation ©stykz 11 August 2004 1:07 a.m. Blind How can I believe in someone else When I play mindgames with myself And how do I listen to what my heart has to say When every time my thoughts get in the way And how do I hide the pain in a place no one can see When it's obvious to everyone that this is killing me ©stykz 20 August 2004 8:15 p.m. (currently untitled and unfinished) Experience is the greatest teacher But it comes with the highest price You may learn your lesson quickly But you'll pay for the rest of your life. ©stykz 20 August 2004 8:29 p.m. (*revised 14 October 2004, 2:27 p.m.) Confusion If you dont tell me what you want Then I cant know how you feel Of if the part of you I'm being shown Is a part of you that's real I need someone who can guide me Cause right now I'm feeling so lost Will I end up getting What I think I want And will it be worth the cost? ©stykz 17 November 2004 7:27 p.m.
