New stuff!!!!

so, I got in an angsty-poet mood this weekend, and wrote a few (okay five...)

As I look out
At the waves
I think of you
And your promisses

When I'm not with you,
I miss you.
But when you're here,
I feel used

How can you
control my feelings?
Why are you always
in my thoughts?

I swore I'd never
fall in love
But you might have
changed that.

But how can I love
What I can't see?
How can I love a lie?
This is my delima.



Coming here always meant rest,
Until you and I came.
Now it just makes a mess
and leaves me full of shame.

I love you but I hate you
how can that be
that someone I thought I knew
could have this power over me?

Your scent lingers in my nose
Your taste on my lips
my hatred of you grows and grows
but it's you i miss

As I put our names in the sand
I wonder if I'm okay.
We're perminant here in the land
Until the water comes and washes us away.



These stolen moments
but why do we have to steal?
why are we afraid?


Ive known you so long
sixteen years in the making
this relationship


It's in all the tales
stories of romance and war
two friends fall in love.




and, I am starting a new book. It is a different genre than the other, but it should be done a lot sooner, it's semi-autobiographical.....but not really....

A little about me

Hello all,
If you have stumbled across this site, you are interested in my writing, you are a friend of my mine, or you are simply bored and looking for something interesting. Thank you, which ever one you are, for visiting my site. My name is Ila Marie, and I am a teen-age writer. I am currently working on a novel, and am also writing in the newspaper, and poems. I will be post most of those on this site. Um...

I am 17, crazy cool, and only slightly sane. My friends call me the strangest things, and I really don't care. I am currently residing in Raytown, Missouri, and plan to stay here until college in two years. I read a lot more than I write, but I do both a lot. I have wanted to be a writer since about sixth grade, when I started my first novel(one I did not complete.) I write mainly fantasy, but am considering moving to modern fiction. I cannot seem to make up my mind on that one.

That's really all you need to know about me, and that's really all I know about myself...
