MY POETRY




Tattered

God why all the time?
Letting people rip apart the best.
Then I tear up what little is left.
Broken, stripped, bleeding.
An old, faded, torn version
of what used to be.
A tattered wheathered photo
of days gone by.
Happy child what did you do?
Why did you kill yourself?
Poor little dead unicorn.
You aren't here anymore,
I cry for you,
I miss you so much.
Misplaced ego for pride,
lost my place in line
while looking into
windows that weren't mine
to look into.
Repulsive relfection.
Waiting for something new.
All that comfort food,
left me uncomfortable.
It's chronic you know,
Fatal, not quite curable.
However somewhat fixable
If one understands the meaning.
Playing hard to get,
easy to forget,
The red scares me,
and comforts me in the same.
Silence is the goal.
By the angel beside the foliage
It won't hurt anymore.





The Sands of Time



We are living in an hour glass.
We are each just a grain of sand.
We start out fresh...at the top.
We slowly start to move forward.
Some force dragging us along.
We have no choice but to go forward.
Even if you want to turn back, you can't...
You can't turn back time.

So we move onward.
Some parts of the journey are hard,
Some smooth.
Sometimes we seem to be
Moving faster than others.
But they say
That one minute
Is as long as any other,
That we are all created equal.

So we move onward
Through the hourglass of life
Falling faster and faster
To our final destination.
As we move on,
We are not even aware
That we have reached
The bottom of the hourglass...
The end of our journey...
Where we will be burried
Six feet under each other.
The ones at the top
Are considered lucky...
That is until the realization hits
That they will be
The first to hit the cold glass
As soon as the loop of time
Starts a new era
And the hourglass
Turns back over...
And so we move onward...




Loneliness...A Silent Cry

Here I lie, late at night
Alone, thinking and wondering,
Who knows me? Who cares to know me?
The answer- no one that I see.
Even my dearest friends don't truly know me.
As I lie here, I silently cry out.
Hoping, praying, someone will hear.
But no one ever does,
No one is ever near.
For my heart and soul are pierced
With anger and frustration.
I try to scream, but no sound
emerges from within.
My troubles engulf me,
taking me to a world unknown.
No one can reach me,
for I am all alone.
But then, a new day dawns.
I smile and try to forget for a while
the troubles that fill my head.
I become an actress, just role playing,
A stereotype of what people think
I should be being
Though, I am not this character I play.
My life is no comedy, but,
I will just keep living the script
Till the play is finally over.
Take a bough,
Exit...stage left, into the darkness.




Do You Love Me?

Do you love me?
Do you really?
Sometimes I wonder
You say you do, yet,
You make put downs at every chance.
At times, you're snippy and bitter.
Are you jealous? And if so, why?
When you look at me,
Do you see lost potential looking back at you?
I would love more than anything
In the world to help you,
But I don't know how.
You're not easy to talk to,
And flashes of temper occur.
Will this suffice?
One's dreams never die
If they are strong enough
No matter what.
If you long for something in your being,
You must seek to find it...
Do not blame lost time on me.




Our Forever Together

Our hearts forever to be as one
As we walk under the sometimes
shaded sun
And the spectrum of our love
will be so wide
For we have allowed each other
to come inside
To share the laughter, sorrow,
and fear
To bring those fleeting
dreams near
And when the sun of life
rises no more
Together we will travel
to another shore.




Confused


Search your soul for what's inside
from yourself, you cannot hide.
Look deeply to what's implied.
Come, sit a while- it's alright to cry,
for all that which we know not why.




The Crush

Fluttering stomach as he walks by
Like the wings of a dove flying high in the sky.
Tingling feelings when he comes near
My feelings for him are transparent and clear.

Nauseated when he says "Hello"
He is really quite a nice and sweet fellow.
A friendship we have, a friendship so dear
But those darn tingling feelings just won't dissappear!

I like him alot, I have a crush in diguise,
But he thinks of me as "just one of the guys".
I wish that he wouldn't, but what can I do?
I wish I could shrink and just hide in a shoe.

I swore I would get him, but I was so wrong,
To think I could get that one guy so strong.
Fluttering, tingling I am feeling no longer....
OH NO! It came back! And my feelings are stonger!

Oh dear, oh my, what shall I do?
Where is the magic and that darn shoe?
I like him alot, I have a crush in disguise.
And here comes that dove flying high in the sky!




Love Is

Love is a beautiful rose in full bloom
Love is a grand piano playing a sweet melodic tune
Love is the thread being weaved on the loom
Love is the stars, and the irridescent moon

Love is a dove flying graceful and sleek
Love is the brave, the mild, the meek
Love is a buck; proud, sure, and gallant
Love is trying, and love is talent

Love is love, and love is true
Love is for me and love is for you
Love is caring, kindness and sharing
Love is anything that is worth comparing




In the Different Seasons

In summer, the trees dressed in different shades of green.
In fall, the leaves descend to the ground into a patchwork quilt.
In winter, a beautiful coat of snow covers tree.
In spring, the trees back to life, all snow gone, flowers blanket
the landscape.

In summer, children playing in yards out of school.
In fall, beginning of the school year, children learning in the
young years of life.
In winter, the cold defies, but so beautiful and glistening
the snow.
In spring, everything alive and flowing, just as the graceful
voice of the bird
singing lovesongs outside my window.



Twilight

Twilight strikes, dark midnight,
The moon sleeps in the stars essence.
Beauty sparkles in piles of gold
Through the dark sea of space
Vast before our eyes.
The pictures of sparkling treasures
In a heaven of darkness shine,
The luster of metallic grace.
Dreams of sweetness and innocence
Fill the wonderous mind.
And in hopes, one day,
We shall have the sky,
The moon and stars,
And the dreams that we all dream.



You

You are my life
A surrounding wall
You are my stronghold
That catches me when I fall
You are my everything
The heart of the songs I sing
You're always there
In everything I do
There to help, see me through
There to hold me close
You tell me how much
You need me so
You are my life...You!




My Unicorn

So free spirited, almost careless
She lives her life
Her voice surrounding one like the breeze.
As far away as she is
It seems as if she is right there.
You feel how real she is
Yet she is elusive
Impossible to catch.
Lover of life
Lover of love
She is easily blinded.
Impulsive and wreckless
Yet so lovable.
Yes
I love her.
She is a dream.
And she will always be...
a dream.
