C e r a ' s W H A T E V E R P a g e !
Welcome to my personal Coffee House. Since this is my web site and I can do whatever I want with MY page
(It's a free country!! :p ), I decided to put a poetry corner on my
page. This is all my original poetry and I DON'T give my permission
to anyone to copy my own hard work. Please enjoy my artwork that I
have choosen to post. I hope they invoke something.
Yours Truely, Cera (*
Winds of Change
The wind changes it’s direction
And as it does, so do you
It tries to drag you certain ways
Over here and downward there
It will push you down
It will make you fall
A rise of dust as you stubble to the ground
You stay where you fell
Perhaps waiting for the wind to die down
It pushes hard against you
Sends you sliding across the dirt
Deciding whether you are willing
Deciding whether you are strong
It seems to have no retreat, but you want to
And as you hold position
As you decide what to do
It has it’s fun pushing at you
Seeing if you will lose
You have a revelation
One that you can not refuse
Things don’t stay the same forever
You’re going to have to move
You decide that you are willing
You decide that you are strong
You know that you can take it as you push yourself back up.
You get up and YOU push ahead
Take control of that wind
Knowing it’s your future ahead
Not letting IT push you around
You may have lost faith
You may have accepted defeat
No excuse can stop that wind from pushing you on

Oh Starry Night
The moon so bright
I sleep with dreams of countless numbers
In peaceful silent tranquil slumber
And suddenly a light, so pure
It is my love, my heart does swoon
For it is the heart that loves me true
No matter what bad or good I do
A valiant Knight in all my dreams
I wish was real, but never is
And as I sleep under starry sky
My orange kitten purrs gently by my side
Her love is the brightest thing tonight
For my love is so far from my eyes

Illusions are deadly, for they have no flaws
The only things they have are seen through a foolish heart
A perfection in a dream, captured in the mind
Why do you invent such foolish illusions
That can never be conceived by other’s eyes?

Light through the darkness
A feeling of warmth
Growing up in the shadows
Seeing new forms
Living life in a rush
Hope for life to slow down
Feeling adult power
But fears of a child
Secrets and thoughts
Never knowing where it stops
Always dreaming, always believing
Thoughout all that I am seeing
No one understands why I never lose faith
I just sigh and pray, "Someday..."
"They’ll see it all my way."

Breakin’ Hearts
Sometimes when life feels free
The world is like your oyster
And it’s gotta be
Then someone comes along
They think you’re perfect
That can’t be
They say they’ve loved you all along
You don’t feel you’re worth it
What can you do to rid the pain they put you through
You break their heart
There’s a soft spot on every human soul
It quakes and shakes when it feels cold
It’s emotion comes and it goes
When it think it’s in love at all
How can you stop this frame of mind
You break their heart
Like a glass that shatters in the hall
Echoing the crash through it all
The pinging sound as it hits the floor
Then the slamming of a door
That is what happens when the soul is hurt
The breaking heart
Sometimes life throws you something you don’t want
You have to figure out how to give it up
You don’t want to hurt it, but you have no choice
What you must do is break their heart

Random Thought
You came and gone in my life
So very quickly that I lost sight
But, I must go on alone
Never to get forlorn
I can’t say that I’ll miss you
Because you didn’t stay very long
I can’t say that I loved you
Because you weren’t there at all
I can’t say I’ll think of you all life long
But, I will say you’ll remain a random thought
You’re a memory in my past
Not to make me more depressed
No offense, but you were never there
So why should I remember you are there
It won’t be hard to forget you ever
And your face will disappear forever
I can’t say you didn’t hurt me
Because I feel the pain inside me
I can’t say that I never liked you
Because I did want to be with you
I can’t say that I’ll think of you all life long
But, I can say you’ll remain a random thought
And you’ll disappear from my heart
You’ll only be a random thought

Deception
A girl with long brown hair
Sits in the library, glasses on her head
So polite and studied all the time
Everyone thought she was so kind
Out of school, there were parties she’d find
She’d be out all night, drunk or high
Off came the glasses from her head
On came the sirens lights seen over head
Visions can be deceiving
They are never what they seem
A mirror only shows one side, the other can’t be seen
All you can see is the deception you want to believe
A boy so strong and tough
The girls with him are more than one
The bully of the school, everyone thought was a fool
Even he thought so too
He sits in his room at night
Reads poetry by the moonlight
Inspiring poet never seen by human eyes
Someday they will see his true might
Deception hids the pain inside
Never lets them see my vulverable side
The falsness and the lies
Is it really so bad to hid?
They are interested in exploring you
They only see the outside of you
Never knowing all that is bestowed in you
But, they still want to know you
How were they able to dodge your quickness to hid?
Perhaps, deception could not fool this time
