Some of my Poetry

People

People...
Of all nationalities
Races and religions

People...
Forever searching,
Always hoping,
Never finding.

People...
Living for,
Wishing for,
Dying for...
Peace.

~Shanelle



The Crusader

Always hoping
Always loving
Never seeing the bad...
Only the good

The crusader
Save the world
Save the soul,
Every wrong ...
Can be made a right

The Crusader
A naive heart,
An optimistic soul.

The Crusader

Heart torn,
Broken,
Stepped on...
Lying on the floor.

The Crusader

Dreams lost,
Broken
and forgotten,
Lying at the door.

The Crusader

Let mankind
save itself.
I give up,
I don't care

The Crusader

The Wall of Life

I walk through each day
With the mask of life in place.
No one can tell
The true emotion on my face.

Maybe someday the wall will crumble.

The mask I wear
Hides me from all.
My emotions forever
Locked behind a wall.

Maybe someday the wall will fall.

I know you try to to find
A way to free me.
But can't you see???
My wall will forever bind.

~Shanelle



Rain Forest


Darkly menacing,
Gently swaying...
Always breathing...
Forever living.

The jungle paths twist and turn
Like a living, breathing maze.
The vibrant colors are forever alive
They will grow brighter... always.

The jungle animals are forever stalking
The look in their eyes
Forever remembered...
As one of our demise.

A cry in the night
Of one lone panther...
A growl in the shadows
Of one majestic jaguar.

Deeply encompassing,
The fears surround
And leave with one forever...
The feeling of being bound.

~Shanelle
