Respect Your Elders by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

Here today; gone tomorrow
In a blink of an eye there could be great sorrow
Jesting no more, just past memories
Kindnesses give always, even if you disagree

Embrace them as if there’s no tomorrow

It's Okay by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

It’s okay to express your fears
Jokes are permitted; forget the sneers
Kindly help others and they’ll help you too
Live your life to the fullest; it’s okay to be you

Everyone is precious in the Lords eyes

ABC by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

ABC; it’s a new kind of rhyme for me
Brought to my attention by a new friend of mine
Capturing various emotions and feelings
Down to the very last line

Saying so much, with so few words

Graduation by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

Proudly watching my daughter
Questioning her trail of fate
Restless with anticipation
Sitting patiently she waits

It’s hard to let your child go, but even harder to hold them back

Just Write by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

Just write they say
Of a bio or an article
Poetry is just a hobby
Nothing short of a miracle

Just write your essays
As you’ve always done
They say they like my poetry
But it’s merely just for fun

Just write your diary entries
Continue to nourish your mind
Your poetry is cute my dear
But it’s simply silly rhymes

Just write they say
And that’s just what I’ll do
They blindly see the purpose
And the power of a poetry debut

Poetry in Notion by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

Expressions and thoughts
Feebleness and weak
Gifts of never-ending words
Honor and reward is what we seek

Why is poetry a mistaken talent?

Ode to a Nut by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

Stacy Lynn I am
Temperamental at best
Useless bouts of anger
Venomous bites of duress

I’m really not “that crazy”

A Thin Line by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/30/2007

I love you; I hate you
Jealousy is not the cause
Killing you wouldn’t justify
Lustfully breaking the laws

The third line is not an option

Artistically Diseased by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/29/2007

Yes I am Bipolar
Though to me it’s not a curse
My life could have been different
It could have been much worse

I don’t perceive my disease
As a curse, rather than a gift
For it illuminates my senses
And that artistic desired lift

Many are forced to succumb
Believing their unable to succeed
My outlook is just the opposite
All expectations I will exceed

So when you think it’s over
And your mind has taken a toll
Remember that “gift” inside of you
Is one you can completely control

Tell Me I’m Not Crazy by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/29/2007

Tell me I’m sane
Tell me I’m cute
Tell me I’m irresistible
Tell me I’m astute
Tell me I’m beautiful
Tell me I’m smart
Tell me I’m artistic
Tell me I’m your heart
Tell me I’m witty
Tell me I’m secure
Tell me I’m insatiable
Tell me I’m pure
Tell me I’m not crazy
Tell me you were wrong
Tell me you were ignorant
Tell me you weren’t strong

Symbolic Lies by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/29/2007

Representation you do depict
Of a crafty liar who does subsist
Can’t keep focused in any type of thought
In fear of being noticed, in fear of being caught

A figure so grand, yet honesty you lack
Stature so appealing; strangers you do attract
Charisma and charm attached as well
Don’t get too close for dishonesty they’ll smell

Reeking of deceitfulness; the aroma engulfs you whole
Never believing the price you’d pay would be your entire soul
So go ahead and fool them; portray yourself as who you’re not
For all your lies will catch up with you and never be forgot

It’s amazing how your contentious has no remorse to show
It’s astounding how your dignity has vanished ever so slow
So go ahead and fool them for I know who and what you are
The time is nearing quickly for all that charm to unwittingly disbar

Writers Block by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/29/2007

Cannot convey thoughts I deem
Cannot display my idealistic schemes

Words are there, at the tip of my tongue
Memories of the past, when I was young

For some odd reason the words won’t flow
Putting them all together is processing slow

My minds drawing a blank; I cannot think
My pen sits in idle, full of lively ink

I guess today is not the day for poetry to present
A writer’s block continuing; I guess it wasn’t meant

Fragile by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/29/2007

Built of fine glass and porcelain
Could anything keep them apart?
Detained by every single notion
Except for her broken heart

How could you hurt her so?

Destination Unknown by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/29/2007

Roaming down the highway
Solely finding his way
Treading painful memories
Using them for another day

Is he really alone?

Bad Luck by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/29/2007

My daughter is a magnet
To disastrous trials indeed
Everywhere she tends to go
Back luck follows her lead

I tell her it’s just coincidence
Then another misfortune I see
My new truck broke down again
Mom, can you please come get me?

Extra cell phones need to be handy
For just one for her will not do
I’ve already seen the calamity
I’ve not losing one, but way more than two

So maybe in coincidence I was mistaken
And her streak of bad luck will soon end
For these catastrophic incidents
Are becoming way too many to mend

Friends? by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/28/2007

A friend once told me
Beware of what you seek
Choose your friends wisely
Don’t discount what I speak

Where is she now?

Pack Your Bags by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/28/2007

Pack your bags
It’s time to go
Worn out welcome
As if you didn’t know

Pack your bags
It’s time to flee
Away from this chaos
Far from me

Pack your bags
It’s time to depart
Find another pawn
Build a fresh new start

Pack your bags
It’s time to leave
Don’t forget anything
It’s time for me to believe

Halloween by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/28/2007

Haunting
A candied feast
Laughter afar
Lighted pumpkins
Outfits
Witches
Evil lurking
Eerie
Night-time

Did You Ever Love Me by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/28/2007

Respect you lack
For you and I
Careless your actions
A symphony of lies

Look me in the eyes
When you stutter words
Don’t look at the ground
Your personas absurd

Think back to long ago
When our love was there
Spreading like wild fire
I remember, I swear

Although maybe it was me
Who was in awe by you
Maybe I was the one in love
You simply existed without a clue

Neglect by Stacy Lynn Stiles

9/28/2007

I love them so much
For all eternity
God protected their well-being
Heaven chose me

She never deserved them
