Here are afew poems I wrote during some rough times in my life that I would like to share with you....hope you like them.      "PYROMANIAC"                       by Carolyn Owens    Can you hear the people's screams?  Does anyone know why he plays with fire?  Burning up lifes dreams?    Did anyone see who set the pyre?    He's got the disease, he's got the madness,  Can't help himself he's condemned to hell.  He watches his self made exploding furnace,  while smoke rains down around him like a veil.   People burn their lives are gone.  He's turned the streets into a battle zone,  a giant blazing human bonfire. And through the burning walls hundreds moan. As the flames die down, a tear slides off my face.   Dark smoke has stained the blue sky.  All the lives that have gone to waste,  and one more time he's gotten by.   Did anyone see who set the pyre?  Can you hear the people's screams?  Does anyone know why he plays with fire?  Burning up lifes dreams?    "ALONE AGAIN"                            by Carolyn Owens   Have you ever met someone that you really cared for?  Have you ever unlocked your hearts door?  Have you ever allowed yourself to be carried away,  to a world that knows no night or day?   Have you ever met someone who could outshine the stars in the sky?  Someone who could melt your heart in a blink of an eye?  Someone you wanted to make your own,  only now you're all alone!   Somewhere along the line I've lost the spell,  it didn't take much time to tell. And it was only a dream of dreams,   at least to me that's how it seems.   and somewhere down inside of me my heart lies,  while in the shadow of sadness my soul cries.    I tried to uphold my pride,  while inside I quietly died.  But there's one fact I can't elude,  I'll now spend my life in solitude!    So, tonight I'll visit the lonesome old sea,  life will go on without me. And tonight i'll lie peacefully in sleep,  in the blackness of the ocean deep.    I know to take ones own life is a sin,  but I also know I can never love again,  Because love means getting hurt.   "APOCALYPSE"                        by Carolyn Owns   A blanket of darkness,  Like a shroud engulfs my soul.  Hopelessly I fade into a blackhole.  I lie suspended in nothingness.    Both sides have dropped their prize,  forgetting their children,  Forgetting their friends,  breaking off diplomatic ties.   Silently those bombs fell,  Prophets have said it's destiny, Mans own fate.  It's opened up hells rusty gate  now darkness prevails.   Remember how it used to be? Life was certainly a mess.  But it was life none-the-less. Now it's just dark and empty.   As I feel the tide of death rising upon me,  The eerie silence now echo the cries from yesterday  Back when tomorrow meant a bright new day.  Where has earth gone? Where can humanity be?   CLICK HERE FOR
