Poems Written by Anthony Simmons
These are just a few I managed to get on here, I'll see what I can do about adding more, and sprucing up this dull page with links or something.
Call Me Nice
Damaged by the words from my throat
And even as i said them, i started to choke
What in the world got into me?
-Is it really so hard to see?
who said that, whos here?
-why, its your insanity dear
This is crazy, im calling the police
-But then you will never see release
Who are you, what do you need?
-Nothing, boy, but this warning, heed
-She is not a toy for your own fun
-if you wanted that, go buy a gun
-She is your heart made flesh
-Or have you forgotten the scar so fresh?
She wont agree, you know its true
-Then show her the meaning, of "I love You"
And how do you propose I do this feat?
-You show her you, and sweep her off her feet
But how, please, I implore you
-You must discover that anew
I cannot simply just do what she asks?
-Not if loving her is your task
-You both will agree to whether good or bad
-Whichever it is, she will not be sad
-This is what i ask of you, man
-Do for her, the best you can
-And if you can do no more
-only then may you rest on the floor
And who may i thank for this advice?
-Well if you have to. you may call me, Nice.
Are You Proud?
Now you know that I've tried
So hard to make you mine
But I'm all out of time
Here goes another rhyme
See what I cant see
Is whats so wrong with me
Because you'll always be
The only one I ever dreamt
The only love I ever spent
The only loss that I resent
Seems my heart was just on rent
I cant stand to watch you go by
Without even a sparkle in your eye
Because with me, when we would lie
Your eyes so vibrant, they were so alive
But with him you don't shine, your dead
And seeing this life fills me with dread
And I cant seem to get you out of my head
And all of my poems, you already read
You see them as words, no emotion behind em
No hint that it means more
Than the bottles spread on the floor
These thoughts hit me to the core
And as I wash up on the shore
I die, wondering outloud
"Now Angel, are you proud?"
Healing through Destruction
Master of destruction
come upon an obstruction
He cannot get around this one
And its suface is broken by none
He thrashes and rages at the stone
But it just smiles "You are alone"
Did the rock just speak
was it mocking me?
Maybe i am crazy
the world is hazy
I feel so empty
loves aplenty
but not for me, no
Just leave me, I'll go
No fuss, no fight
I'll disappear into the night
Only to return one day
Back here to steal you away
from your pain and sorrow
I'll be your better tommorrow
So when you feel your done
You feel that ther is no sun
I will come and heal your heart
when the whole world it seems falls apart
I'll come and heal your wounds
with the words "I love you"
The Beast
My tongue swells in my throat,
choking my air, making me croak
It's liberating
It's suffocating
It's my Destiny
It's my Liberty
I can't feel
Nothings real
I want to love you
I want to hate you
I'm stuck in this mess
Ripping my chest
I'm still choking
You think I'm joking
You say it's all a dream
Then why can't i scream?
You want me to change
It fills me with rage
I bottle it up inside
It shifts like a tide
Growing and shrinking
Slowly sinking
Embedded in my soul
It feels so cold
You increase my workload
I finally explode
I hurt and damage
Like a beast or savage
I can't control my rage
It spills out on the page
You've loosed the storm
Now a new beast is born
This new beast has surfaced
It seems to make people nervous
Are you happy with what you've done?
Get a head start, you better run.
Lament
All the pain I caused
Simply by moving my jaws
Inside grows a tree
A natural disfigured me
Distorted by hate
This is my true face
I knew not what I did
But my hate I am now rid
My painful life began anew
A second tree, it seems, grew
The pain on you, I have inflicted
When my mind and thoughts were constricted
Please do not send me from your sight
To think and toil in the night
I ask only that you forgive
And forget the boy that once did live
