New Year

HAPPY NEW YEARS
New Year
-------------
With the new year passing, its time for us to say goodbye,
We celebrated the year together, mostly,
With the consistant beating of myself,
To get you to notice me, finally,
But with this new year,
Im setting a goals,
Tto find you,
To show myself to you once more,
Maybe this time, it will be forever
Me and you, can share our love and travel afar,
Tour the world, or local bar,
We can head to places, unknown,
Or right back home,
As long as im with you,
So this is my resolution,
My own personal constitution,
Of laws i set on myself,
Forever, till the new year comes again,
Hopefully when i wake up in bed,
I wont be depressed,
More ill likely express,
My everlasting devotion to you,
Soon.

~Daniel Chapman

Staring

Staring
--------
Staring out of the stands,
Watching the bands,
Climbing out of the sky,
Comes my perfect angel, set high
Apart from others in my mind, people left behind,
In my mind, its only you and me, free.

Ive had these dreams,
Of you and I together,
Forever,
But a blast from reality,
You dont care,
Im another lemming in the stands,
While your over there,
Marching, Moving to a gentle beat,
I see you walking,
Thinking,
But it doesnt get my anywhere.

All I want to do is touch your hair,
Stare into your brown eyes,
And get lost, say my good byes
To the outside world, no,
This is to you, you got into my head,
You keep me up in bed,
Yearning, played out,
I miss you.

~Daniel Chapman

Save Me

Save Me
-----------
Take a breath,
Close your eyes,
Count to 5,
Take in the memories,
As they fly,
A blast from the night,
The days roll by,
Im just not the same as I was a year ago,
And each and every day from below
my mind, my heart isnt different,
Im still in love,
You want to be out there,
I just want you to say your beautiful,
I need you,
To save me.

Here i Sit

This is one of my earliest poems ive written about a certain person, so here we go.
Here I Sit
-------------
Here I sit, breathing,
Waiting for you to see me,
Standing here, Watching,
Wondering, Why?

Why are you able to do these things,
So inconspicuous,
So insignificant,
Yet its this power you have over me,
The ability to make me want you,
The ability to make me thing,
You are the only one for me.

So as I Sit here wanting,
Your over there breathing,
Not even knowing,
Without even trying,
To destroy me.

~Daniel Chapman

Promise

I know i havent posted in 4 days but i havent had a chance to write, so to make up for it, ill post 4 today.

I wrote this for my english class when we were talking about Emily Dickinson so here it is,

Promise
------------
You told me you' never leave,
The fact that you lied,
Hurt me, left me within a weave,
Of tangled lies, left behind,
For one to forever see.

I sit now in front of your grave,
I whimper as i start to breath,
Reminded of how,
You promised me,
How you would never leave me unable to see.

"You promised me!",
I cry as i look into the air,
Wishing i could see your golden hair,
Your shining face once more,
As i remembered it, before you left me,
Please?

I cant move along

Hmm, so this poem is a really bad one, the theme changes to drastically over the poem but i promised myself id write 2 poems everyday for the month of december, so here it is.
I cant move along
--------------------
I wish for you to,
Hold me close,
Hold me tight,
A salute of altos,
Lead to the daylight,
The backbite,
The foresight to our future together,
Within the bitter bite of the cold winter night,
To the sun drenched summer delight,
Of being in your arms,
Your beautiful charms
Hidden in your smile creeks,
The past of a lonely maverick,
The distant car horns,
Telling us to move along,
To get you out of my life,
A neverending strife
Ive been trying to acheive,
But i cant move along,
I cant say a " So long "
So go while you waste your day thinking,
While im just sinking,
Into a shallow pool of self misery,
Trying to keep myself busy,
Writing this poetry,
Barely,
Forcing myself,
Pushing myself,
To move along.

~Daniel Chapman

Lose Control

No introduction, just the poem this time :)
Lose Control
-------------
Almost Merry Christmas,
Marry Christmas Eve,
Will you be my Santa please?

Im just sick of the valentines,
The passers by,
With their hand in hands,
Its just the same over and over again,
I just need to be like strongmen,
And look past them,
To the time where i can be with you,
Because you make my heart swoon.

But as we stand here now,
I am reminded of all the reasons why,
Why i love you,
Why i want to be with you,
The way your eyes can look into mine,
And cross into the border line,
Of my soul, and make me loose control.

As To Why?

So i just got a resurgence of emotions from watching a video of someone dear to me and wrote another poem :
As To Why?
---------------
Why cant i explain this,
Its at the tip of my tongue,
As to why?
Why your so captivating,
Exhilarating,
Hilarious,
Never afraid to make a fool of yourself,
Just to be with you by myself,
You know how to have a good time,
And not afraid of the why,
The why you do these things,
But i dont care, All those lemmings,
They just walk on with their dreary lives,
But im cast aside,
To notice you, To be akin to you,
But I love to ensue
Your acts, to follow along and misconstrue
Your actions, As if a cue
For you to pretend to care,
As long as im not there afterwards,
But we both know were just a bunch of nerds,
So as a final word of passing,
A sortve docking of my faulting,
Because even though its over,
I cant find my center.

~Daniel Chapman

Friend

This is a poem for a friend of mine as a present to her.
Friend
--------
You were there from square one,
A great pal, one I could never shun,
Because of our deep connection,
You got me,
You never said I was an idiot,
A giant biggot,
A lonely nobody,
A loving beastly,
You only told me,
That i was a caring person,
Someone you can talk to,
With full honestly,
For you knew briefly,
That i was trustworthy,
And over time, this became true,
As we shared secrets, Now askwed into the sands of time,
Walk back in time and remember, of what we told each other,
In all confidance, that if lost,
My life would be a little bit colder,
Lonlier,
Emptier,
Scarier.

Sleep

Again, why dont i like my own poetry anymore? I guess it seems maybe forced, like theres not enough emotion backing it, or maybe not the right kind anymore. Maybe this poetic therapy does work??
Sleep
--------
The moon is down,
The sun is rising,
I guess i should to,
But when i do, i never see you.

I wish i could,
I wish i could wake up to your face every morning,
Just so i can watch you sleep,
listen to your gently snoring,
Which others think may be boring,
But when i see your cute little cheeks, your dimples steeked
Into the corners of your mouth,
As you smile, which brightens my day from square one,
A beacon of hope, an omen of good faith,
A refusal to mope, as I start my day.

But just watching you sleep, i could do for ever,
Staying up late, while your passed away,
Unaware of my lingering eyes,
That pass your body like elevators to the skies.

A haunting chill passes down my spine,
As i come to realize,
That this is untrue,
For i never get to see you,
I dont know what its like to see your rosy cheeks,
Gently expanded by the the air, you exhale, you speak,
A disgruntled groan, I can only imagine,
That is, untill you take that one step with me, into the eden.

~Daniel Chapman

Incase I fall

So i just wrote this one, and like the previous one, there are parts i dont like, but i feel it comes together in the end.
In case I Fall
-------------
I start to breath heavy,
I start to stumble,
I start to wobble,
I start to fall, While you just watch me,
You dont care, you come help me up,
But its out of courtesy, and sincerity,
But i just wish that your beautiful eyes,
Would start to look at me,
Your lungs would start to get heavy,
Your heart beat pulsing, through your chest,
Your blood flowing, with no rest,
Id help you up, not out of courtesy,
But out of love, out of compassion,
Out of caring for you,
Because i do,
Everything i do, is for you,
Its not clear, but i go out of my way to make your life easier,
I put up with others,
Its not easy, but its something i feel i must do,
You dont care, you dont even notice,
But still i go on, Like the rivers flow, never ending,
Always defending,
Always being there to help you when your down,
Always being there to turn your life around,
Always being there, so in case i do fall,
Your there, to help me up.

Look at me

So I just wrote this poem and i have mix feelings about it, i like the idea but i want to change things about it just dont know what.
Look At Me
--------------
Time goes on,
While we wait and watch,
Everyone does it,
But I guess i do it more,
Because every moment of my life,
Every second i breath,
Im looking for you,
Hoping to see you again,
You dont have to say a word,
All i need to know is that your presence is there,
Then ill try my best,
To make you notice me, To make you finally see it,
That i love you, That i want you.

But i guess this is just puppy love,
Because while i notice you,
You dont see me,
I wait for that one moment when our eyes meet,
Because then I know that in that one moment,
I crossed your mind,
I was there, and you finally saw me,
But you just keep looking on, while i dont,
I keep looking at you, for that moment again.

But it doesnt happen, you go over to the other side,
Avoiding me, but i cant avoid you,
Its this power you have over me,
I dont want to, but you make me,
You make me walk over and look for something,
Something that i dont even need, dont even want,
Just so you notice me, Once and for all,
Please just notice me, Im standing here,
Why cant you see me the way i see you?

~Daniel Chapman

Your my shining light

Ok so i cant really make titles for anything really, like every poem i have is untitled. But anyways, here it is:
EDIT: I THOUGHT OF A TITLE OMG!!!!!!!

Your My Shining Light
---------------
There comes a time,
When the lonely bystanders,
Come walking by and stop,
And stare and take a breath,
To watch the moment unfold,
The dawning of a new day,
Breaks to new hope,
To new life,
To shine across the stars that are now hidin,
By the gently glow of the sun,
That seems to hold
Onto those, Memorized,
Blinded by, The whos in line,
Who are boreded by their dreary lives,
Who watch after their all nighters,
The new day, becoming brighter.
They're active now, running towards the light,
Running to escape,
To be free,
Your hand in mine, we'll run together,
To be free of this world,
To escape our dreary lives,
To be together now, Hold on tight,
For the time is now, we're running fast,
The momentums building, the dream is growing,
The sun is our guiding light, directing us,
Showing us, where to go, who to be, what to do,
With you by my side, i know im where i want to be,
Being who i am,
Doing what i want to do, which is to be with you.
