Crazy 12-94
I'm Crazy, you know.
Crazy for the love you show.
Just crazy for love.

Untitled 1-8-99
Smart and Beautiful.
Her brown eyes looking at mine.
I am in Heaven.

Winter 12-94
Pine smell in the air.
Snow blankets the cold, cold ground.
Lovely time of year.

Here Are Some Of My More Meaningful Poems

Love 12-94
My love is like the bluest sky,
I see the twinkle in your eye.
When we are closer together
I'll love you now and forever.
Through sunshine and stormy weather
My love for you lasts forever.
And what about your love for me?
I know it's true; it has to be.

The Life Cycle 12-94
Living things came from the ground
And sunbeams from the sun that's round.
We learn and grow from others.
From parents and from brothers.
We're here just to discover
So let's be kind to each other.
We then end up in the earth,
The place where we came from birth.

The Beautiful Forest 12-94
In the beautiful woods, I walk.
And to the animals there, I talk.
I see its beauty, and ponder
Where these woods came from. I wander.
I look at the stream and the flowers.
I stare at the trees for hours.
The majestic mountains stand tall.
Between the mountains, sun beams fall.
The rippling water flows near.
The streams sweet voice enters my ear.
I journey through the woods to think
And see the flowers, red and pink.
Come to the woods with me and I'll show you
All natures’ beauty old and new.

Dirt is Dirty And Not Clean 12-94
Dirt is dirty and not clean,
From which the ground that I lean.
All around us- left and right
Below are feet- day and night.
From where I came, I do return.
I must go back. We all do.
We return without a choice
To Play in the dirty dirt.

Rain Drops on The Windshield Travel 12-94
Raindrops on the windshield travel.
They go which way they feel is better.
They grow bigger on their journeys,
Picking up things like dust and dirt.
Where they end up is all to fate
They go back to the storm gate grate.

Untitled 12-94
A friendship I once had long hence
Now makes me pay the consequence.
Memories haunt me to this day.
Return Friendship, or go away.
I'm not a horrible person
But she meant do much to me.
It's not something easy to grasp
That it was never meant to be.

Peaches 4-95
A day at the beach
With a sweet ripe peach-
Two cents each
is quite a treat for a girl you meet.

my uncertain ways 1-1997
when i think of how i should direct myself,
i end up pointing in the wrong direction;
whether important or insignificant.
such simple things as which flavor ice cream,
is a long, tedious, painstaking task;
when it is what to do with my life,
it is something i avoid, in hopes It,
will solve itself.
It, does not and i am left,
alone,
with blank thoughts and
unfinished decisions.
when will i turn around into
what I will be happy with? I must,
I have to find the solutions to my uncertain ways.
only then will I have My peace.

These are some poems I have recently written. Maybe they are about you?!

Untitled May 2000

Curious it is how one can be captivated
by words on a screen.
The carefully arranged pixels illuminated
to my eyes and branded on my soul.
Curious how one wonders about finding
the person meant for us.
Does fate prevent me from my destiny, or
does it merely make me work for what fate
puts out for me?
I hate to wonder about the things I miss,
the things I never try, the things too far
to touch. I think about how the hole in my
heart burns my soul more than the words
on my screen can ever do.
I think I think too much about the things
I may never experience. Allowing another
thing to slip through my tired fingers again
pains my heart. I need to try and get the thoughts
of my brain out of my head and
not trick myself into believing that I am not
missing out, because I know I am.
The words on the screen hit me again.
I await each word with a new outlook, a new
vision of what could be. Maybe one day fate
and destiny will be there for me working
together, instead of head to head.

Untitled Jan. 16, 2000

I make myself think.
I think about love.
A love that doesn't exist.
It exists only in my mind.
In my mind it is all perfect.
In my mind my heart is alive.
When I awake from my dream,
I find the cold reality.
All of what I falsely build up
Is but a baron plot, empty,
Cold, lifeless.
For once in my life I want to see
What I see in my mind when
I "wake up". If I can sleep
Forever and not wake up I would
Hope that my dream would be the same:
She is always there.
We are together.
We are happy.

Looking Between the Lines July 4, 2000

I really enjoyed
The short time we spent together.
You understand me, you listen to me, you agree with me.
It was so great
To meet someone like you. You smile and laugh,
And that's so Important to me.
I've been honest with you from day one And I'll continue to be now.
I really thought that you and I could be great together.
It is unfortunate that
Two people that have so much in common
Can miss out on each other. If it is your wish to remain out of contact with me it
Should be
Known, as you have been informed already that I will respect your wishes. If we not be
Together
Then that is what cards I have been dealt,
Don't you think?

The Pear
She smells as fresh as the air,
I met her at the fair,
She was eating a perfect, plump, pear.

Untitled March 13, 2001 This one is for you ;-)
She sought me out on a cold winter day
To find a fairytale life.
She was unaware and to her dismay
She had found what she wanted that night.
A knight in armor is what she did seek
And the closest thing she did find,
She had found a man in metal that's sleek
With only to please her in mind.
He is a knight that may not ride a hose into town
But that should not be an issue.
Please don't make yourself a frown
Else your eye will soon need a tissue.
Once she will feel his warm embrace
She will know that the fairytale is true.
Next time they meet face to face
She will know exactly what to do.
The knight has only noble intentions
And this is the only true case.
He just wants to give intense affections
To the one with the smiling face (you)!

My Garden 3/02/02
My garden grew with all my essentials,
Even some I was not so fond.
It supported me and my needs of hunger
And of succulent tastes and smells.
Years have gone by and the environment changed.
Temperature, draught, and my own neglect,
Forced my garden to succumb to inevitable failure and decay.
As my garden went to wild and rot over the seasons
I found the soil had been replenished and revitalized.
Nature’s processes have made my garden ready for new seeds.
With the decline of winter, my eyes and heart again return to my garden.
I know that with labor and love
My garden will once again flourish come the warming sun of spring.

A time of new beginnings 08-27-02
There comes a time in ones span
That is a time of new beginnings.
The winds of change blow in
That differ from whence they began.
My luck has improved as of late
Opportunity has surely knocked.
I have opened up the doors before me
And I have been given a confident fate.
Some natural force has brought us here
For us to find each other.
It is not my place to meddle now
Or for me to try to interfere.
I am so fortunate in so many ways;
The timing seems to be just right.
The future to me brings many smiles
That will set my heart ablaze.

Love in the Distance November, 2002
Being far from you
Is difficult for me to do.
I know we'll make it
If there's love to see us through.
Your smile and laugh are
What I love so much,
But just seeing that can not
Replace your warm, loving touch.
We will see each other when
Time will permit us,
To make the long days we
Are apart less painful and less grievous.


7/4/06
Who I am
Walking. Empty road. Darkness.
A tunnel of fear in the emptiness.
Take my hand, there is no fear;
My strong grip will keep you near.
I will keep you safe, trust in me.
My eyes will show you, you will see.
I am strong, yet soft, my touch will show
Hard, yet gentle, fast or slow.
Commanding, yet submissive at chance,
Decicive, yet compromising with happenstance.
Smart, yet simple to understand.
Witty, yet serious to take a stand.
Loving, yet stern: advice with a grain of salt,
Understanding, yet appologetic if I am the one at fault.
Creative, yet standard, my values are true.
Adventerous, yet timid, jelly in the arms of you.
Determined, yet easy going: where to next?
Perfect, yet so imperfect: I'm beautiflly complex.
I'm all you could want amd more you could think
I know we can be perfect- our lives kept in sync.
Open your heart, and put your eyes in eclipse
Feel the soft touch of my lips on your lips.
Open them up and stare at my gaze
You will know when your heart fires ablaze.
