valerie jaeger Poems

don't be afraid, baby
just slip out of your skin
wander in
enjoy the air on your bones;
...

a name is written here
upon my heart.
it burned this melting fiery path
that descended
...

for the darkness,
i have dedicated hours, destroyed
the minute hand and
banished sense entirely.
...

you are
what i tell you to be. i
and i alone
give you your identity;
...

Settled in the rift between two people,
she hears them asleep
in Life;
...

i read in the newspaper about
a young woman raped
by an aquaintance;
she decided not to press charges,
...

they say nothing can live
in the frost-bound coldness
of december, but here,
unfolding despite this bitter air:
...

Other poets express it best
in rhyme i would not hope to imitate.
THEIR words could pierce that icy heart
far better than i could.
...

if i stand beside you,
look into your
eyes,
i can almost see a world;
...

if i stand beside you,
look into your
darkened eyes,
i can almost see a world
...

i love you always(all ways.) every
time i pick my fragile body from
beneath the
feather weight of the blankets,
...

no i will not drink better water,
i like the noise of the pipes
just fine; i like
the sound of bare feet in the morning, of
...

i am a blackness.
freedom.
inside this gray soul
an iron heart, not

valerie jaeger Biography

i'm just a high-school senior. nothing special. not an aspiring poet or anything; i've just always loved writing. even though i don't plan on making anything of it, it would be a shame to let my writing skills (be they modest at best) get all rusty while i pursue my one true love: art. i do have my 'paper cup' poem published in an anthology called 'stories of life, ' however. either way, if you want to read some poems other than mine, check out james grengs. thank you to anyone and everyone who reads my poems, and an extraspecial uber-thanks to those who actually rate them. remember: teenagers need voting-lovin' too!)

The Best Poem Of valerie jaeger

The Sucky Poem Dedicated To My Goth Side

don't be afraid, baby
just slip out of your skin
wander in
enjoy the air on your bones;
young as they are,
too old to feel new
what is life to do with you?
place the crown upon
your head
forget not innocence
forget not grace
not bravery, nor honor
nor valor,
just forget yourself
and your pretty little face,
all is grace
all is grace


don't be afraid
to let them in
with their little hands
and their grinning grins
they love to live
tho living's not
what you expected
from this lot.
adore them now
for they shall go
as the sun melts
the winter's snows


feel your skeleton melting in
feel the earth
reach up to meet you
feel your heartbeat
fade within you
press'd into the arms of night
forever to dwell in the shadows
of glory, long forgotten now,
my sweet;
life is better here,
this way,
it is neither go
nor stay,
here in the arms
of brother
Morpheus,
god of sleep,
of never-ending
dreams.

Valerie- I dont know how to navigate the site very well or i'd have looked up your poems sooner- as it turns out, your name turned up on the list of poets for people who also read my stuff- And i'm very happy it did- we have similiar styles, but i have to say that many of your poems are superior- they're amazing, beautiful, endearing, sad, tragic, maddening, and wise- i hope you put more on because what you have is excellent and i hope you keep writing
