Poems and Lyrics

I think the name describes it perfectly.

Autumn Leaves

The first poem I ever wrote. I forgot to ever post it here.

5:45 AM On A Tuesday

Nature poem from a class.

A Fall Morning

From a class assignment. Five randomly assigned words had to be woven into three connected scenes in the form of a poem.
Cherry

A Life Lived Too Long

Wrote this for fun, mainly to see it destroyed by some idiots on a poetry forum I found.

A New Batch Of Haikus

[DISCLAIMER: I do not intend to promote the current riots in London. The first haiku is simply something I thought of while reading the news.]

And They Called Him Death lyrics

This is why you shouldn't let me listen to Marilyn Manson...

This is both a poem and lyrics. If you want to hear the vocals recorded, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79sjWjLJQiI go there. (comments are always appreciated)

Brand New Haikus

Just my newest set of haikus.

Casey lyrics

If you're gonna tell a lie/then this is your time/tell me that you love me, baby/for always and forever/let's try to make this work/your mistakes I'll overlook/but you'll have to leave him, now/I will

Cloak and Dagger Friends lyrics

Got back to writing pop punk lyrics. Thank you The Audition!

Good Day lyrics

Some old lyrics I wrote a long time ago. It's kind of (no, incredibly) repetitive. It's an album closer.

Migration

It's not what it sounds like.

Some Haikus

Just some haikus from my creative writing class. There are several contained here due to their short length. Each haiku has a title above it, which may help it to make some more sense.

More Haikus

Just some more haikus.

Second To Last of Class Haikus

There will be one more grouping of haikus written for the class, then we move on to lyrics.

Last of the Haikus (For a While)

Now What? Sometimes I have a struggle for inspiration. That's why I wrote this. For J.M. #3 Do you notice my eyes linger on you more than anyone else here? Homework

Let Your Heart Go

Some lyrics. I have them recorded on my youtube account: /stjimmyrocks92

Your Boyfriend lyrics

Yeah, we used to talk a lot/on the phone or between class/we'd just talk about the things/that mattered to you and me/and then I started to think/that we could be more than friends

I'll Be On My Way lyrics

This is a kind of acoustic, country song, but with a bit of reggae beat too.

Johanna's Song lyrics

This is an adaption of an older song of mine, written for a special person. I changed some lines around to fit it to her life.
Cherry

Just Let It Go lyrics

Sitting in a car while I'm standing on the front porch/watching as the headlights disappear into the night/we said that this is what we wanted but it still hurts/like the necessary sting of an amputat

Taken lyrics

Written while listening to Senses Fail

The Scrivener lyrics

Written during class while discussing Bartleby The Scrivener (I'm such a good student).

There's A Time To Talk About Your Problems, And A Time To Just Say Fine lyrics

The song title is a quote from Bartleby, the movie. Song is influenced by Bring Me The Horizon.

The Dancer lyrics

Kind of an AVA feel to this song. Wrote it instead of doing last minute cramming for a math test.

Love Actually quote for title, me still being stuck on someone in lyrics.

The Exquisite Art Of Drowning

I wrote a rhyming poem. Weird.

The Night lyrics

So, I wrote some guitar parts, and made a song out of it. Then I improvised some lyrics over it. These are the lyrics.

Tools of the Trade

I read some rather disturbing Stephen King stories right before going to sleep, and thought of this in that time where dreams start just before sleep does.

Florida (Me And You) lyrics

Fun litlle punk-ish love song, influenced by Rise Against (who I saw live last night).

No More Chances lyrics

Political electronicore lyrics.

The Building Blocks of Life

Tried something, and it may be a starting place but certaintly isn't an end.

Over Now lyrics

The first set of lyrics I ever wrote, which has more meaning to me now than when I wrote it.

Fear

A list poem. It's all kinda true, too, but not to the point where you should hope I get counseling haha.

On Writing

Sights in a Graveyard

Migrant Mother

The Four Seasons

A poem of memories about or taking place durring the four seasons.

On The Streets Of Westerville

From a class. We went in to the town and walked around and wrote about things we saw. The character is also a connection back to one from my poem A Fall Morning.

Second Opinion

There is no blood rush of lust from my fingers on her naked breast, sliding smooth and sighing slightly until a gasping pause. Back and forth as the...
