poetry for the soul
by jodi d shelton   


Category:  Poetry

a book of poems form past presnt and future

cup of tea


here i go again

cryin in my cup of tea

oh what has become of me

this party with the hatter

has begun not to matter

this wonderland dream

is never what it seems

why can't i take a cup of tea

and just be me?

this looking glass shatters

along with it everything that matters

this vivid nightmare breaks the soul

never agin will it feel whole

so here i go again

crying into my cup of tea

--------------------------------

slave


surrounded by darkness
hidden from all to see
that is where you keep me
secluded in the shadows
away from every ones view
is this a forbidden love?
no one knows i'm there
no one knows you care
a prisoner of love
under your complete control
a slave of the heart
kept in darkness
hidden from all to see
no one knows about me
no one knows you care
options kept open for you
but not me
for i am a slave to the heart
under your complete control

---------------------------------------
In Due Time pt 2



In due time a heart will heal

when the time is right

it will again feel

in due time things will flourish

things will fall into place

in due time

becaue that's all there is

a love will be reborn

in due time

beacuse that's what we have

we will be reunited

In Due Time My Love

---------------------------------

R I P

oh to ease the pain
the pain that has no reason
the blade is so thin
the release so great
the warmth as the blood crawls down
the trail of crimson
so inviting, so peaceful
hypnotized by the sight of it
growing weak from the drain
it's so beautiful
the sight of life leaving life
the release of the pain
with a deep sigh
and a small grin
it's over
rest in peace pain

---------------------------------------
Repair

dark despair fills the soul

hurt and anger fuel the flames

pains builds and emotions rage

the walls that were built

begin to fall

crumbling to dust

along with it goes the heart

broken to a million pieces

swept away with the desolate wind

that now blows with in the soul

stop and take a look

look into the vastness of a broken heart

see the holes that others left behind

now look into your heart

take a piece of yours and place it here

it may not be perfect

but you've begun the rebuilding

and hopefully will finish it

--------------------------------------
darkness



Darkness engulfs me as the light begins to fade

loneliness surrounds me and intertwines with the pain

I reach out for your hand to guide me thru the confusion

I reach out for you to help me make it thru

Do you see me?

Do you see my hand out stretched?

Do you hear my calls into the dark?

As the darkness grows my confusion grows too there is pain and fear

Why must I suffer in this cold realm?

Why must I forge this path alone?

I reach for you but no one is there.

Were all my travels in vein?

Am I blind?

Or are you just a memory that I brought back to life

Oh no; there really is no one there

my mind has done it again

these tricks it plays and its wicked ways

damn you mind

and damn you heart for these wicked games

For when tomorrow goes will I still be here;

Waiting in the darkness?

Reaching out my hand toward a fantasy?

Or will I have succumbed to the evils that lurk within the shadows?

Till tomorrow my sweet

sleep now and we will see

--------------------------------

faerie thoughts from the past



I close my eyes

and dream a dream

of faeries all a glow

of elves and gnomes

dancing around

as pixies tend the ground

the morning dew

gets them drunk

as the sun begins to rise

and to thier homes

in wonderland

is where they travel to

until the sun sets again

they hide from our dismay

and when the moon is shinning bright

they return again to play

-------------------------
life


the world spins around me

as i sit and watch

content in my little spot

satisfied with my view

i watch as people walk by

with worries in thier heads

i play as they pass

i dream while they work

at peace i am in my little spot

at peace in my corner of the world

"don't let life pass you by"

they say

but yet they don't realize "pass me by"

it does not

i take in everything

learn from my mistakes

teach others from my past

life i am living

and life i am giving

so as i sit and watch

the world spin around me

i live my life and learn my dreams

only to pass it on to you my friends

to give you the wisdom

which i have learned

so you too

can sit and watch

as the world spins around you

no title



as i look into your eyes

the gate to your soul unlocks

i stare deeper to catch a clue

to understand the deeper thoughts that hide inside of you

to dodge the blackness

and avoid the demons

that guard the light...



behind a bush i find a child

full of fright he looks up at me

his out reached hand held high

but only our finger tips brush

to save this child would change the life

but to leave him here is torture

instead i stay here beside him

giving him comfort

so together we face the foes

together we sit in the dark

beside the demons

that guard the light deep inside your soul


----------------------------------
thoughts


ponder the thoughts of erotic thoughts

wonder about the areas unknown

decide what makes the feelings real

remember the rush that comes with the touch

there is where you will find me

hiding in the shadows

with a heart full of love

and a soul filled with freedom
