Dub's Poems + Songs

[Dubilicious BABY!]

Well, I finally decided to put some of my stuff up here. Feel free to comment on them, but be warned: I'm a better writer than I am a poet. The first one I'm putting up is a relatively new one. (Side note: I may end up putting up some of my stories as well, so keep an eye out for those)

Realization
Look in my eyes,
And you will know,
As you live, my soul dies,
And my heart's blood should flow,
And when I should cry,
You will then see,
That my tears have run dry,
My heart's too empty to bleed.

Yet I'm still living,
Without a soul,
My heart will keep beating,
For what? God only knows,
Yet I'll keep on breathing,
For that unknown,
Still I have this feeling,
That I'll never truly know.

What keeps me going,
In these bad times,
When their blood is flowing,
For crimes no worse than mine,
It escapes our knowing,
As we sit and dine,
And this keeps on growing,
Far past the death of my rhyme.

I finally found some of my older poems. Enjoy!

To Someone I Barely Knew (My favorite old poem)
I loved you once,
that I know.
I love you still,
it surely shows.

I felt for you,
like I should.
I wish I knew you,
if only I could.

I only saw,
what you let me see.
I only hear about,
what you used to be.

So many memories,
that I've lost and found.
So many things,
that continue to astound.

So many days,
I wish you were here.
I miss you every day,
I miss you every year.

I turned away from you,
for my own good.
I turned away from you,
to do what I should.

I still love you,
deep in my heart.
I still love you,
though we're apart.

I still don't know,
where you are.
I want you to know,
I won't be far.

I'll always love you,
and be at your side.
If only it was real,
not a dream in my mind.

So here's to that someone,
I barely knew.
Here's to you, Mom.
God be with you.

The Parable
Look through these eyes of mine,
into the dark future,
of a land so divine.

There is no sky, spirit, nor trees,
in this land,
that knows no breeze.

There is no hate, suffering, nor war,
in the divine land,
without a golden shore.

There is no opinion, religion, nor care,
in my land,
where the walls are so bare.

There is no color, fashion, nor style,
in this world,
that seems so vile.

There is no future, present, nor past,
in paradise,
where cares are last.

There is no hope, compassion, nor love,
in this hell,
without guidance from above.

Dreams + Life
I had a dream once,
that talked to me.
A dream that told me,
just who to be.

It whispered,
"Great things await you.
Just help those all around,
and life will be something new."

"Do great things,
and great things will come.
Through actions or words,
it doesn't matter, son."

"Just keep your head high,
higher than the sky above.
Be kind to everyone,
show them how to love."

"If you show them how to live,
without a frown about.
You'll become the person you are,
a man without doubt."

"A man without doubt of good things he's done,
no matter what anyone may say.
You've done all that can be done,
and good came about on that day."

"When you touched that man's life,
and showed him who you are.
And the darkness parted,
your light now a star."

"It's not fame that you will get,
I'm sorry to say.
But I do promise you this,
You'll be this way."

"You'll bring happiness,
as much as you can.
That's the life for you,
that's the plan."

I liked the words,
it spoke to me.
But I'm afraid,
that the dream has yet to be.

Hey, I have one of those poems in my sunglasses case... I think.
