Breathe

Remember why you are here
take time to realize it will happen
work your hardest
do your best
do one thing at a time
work will soon be finished
take things off the to-do list
remember to breathe

For this is not poetry of my own......

Hug O' War


I will not play at tug o' war
I'd rather play at hug o' war.
Where everyone hugs
Instead of Tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.




Listen To The Mustn'ts


Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.




Us


Me and him
Him and me,
we're always together
as you can see.
i wish he'd leave
so i'd be free
i'm getting a little bit
tired of he,
and he may be a bit
bored with me.
on movies and ladies
we cannot agree.
i like to dance
he loves to ski.
he likes the mountains
i love the sea.
i like hot chocolate
he wants his tea.
i want to sleep
he has to pee.
he's meaner and duller
and fatter than me.
but i guess there's worse things
we could be-
instead of two we could be three,
me and him
him and me.




Rain


i opened my eys
and looked up at the rain.
and it dripped in my head
and flowed into my brain,
and all that i hear as i lie in my bed
is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.


i step very softly,
i walk very slow,
i can't do a handstand-
i might overflow,
so pardon the wild crazy thing i just said-
i'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.






Enter This Deserted House

But please walk softly as you do. Frogs dwell here and crickets too. Ain't no ceiling, only blue. Jays dwell here and sunbeams too. Floors are flowers - take a few Ferns grow here and daisies too. Swoosh, whoosh - too-whit, too-woo Bats dwell here and hoot owls too. Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee, hoo-hoooo, Gnomes dwell here and goblins too. And my child, I thought you knew I dwell here... and so do you

Where The Sidewalk Ends


There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.




Tree House

A tree house, a free house,

A secret you and me house,

A high up in the leafy branches

Cozy as can be house.

A street house, a neat house,

Be sure and wipe your feet house

Is not my kind of house at all~

Let's go live in a tree house.

Invisible Boy


And here we see the invisible boy 
In his lovely invisible house, 
Feeding a piece of invisible cheese 
To a little invisible mouse. 
Oh, what a beautiful picture to see! 
Will you draw an invisible picture for me?” 




The Battle


Would you like to hear

Of the terrible night

When I bravely fought the—

No?

All right.

The Bloath


In the undergrowth

There dwells the Bloath

Who feeds upon poets and tea.

Luckily I know this about him,

While he knows almost nothing of me.

Traffic Light


The traffic light simply would not turn green
So the people stopped to wait
As the traffic rolled and the wind blew cold
And the hour grew dark and late.
Zoom-varoom, trucks, trailers
Bikes and limousines,
Clatterin' by - Me oh my!
Won't that light turn green?

But the days turned weeks, and the weeks turned months
And there on the corner they stood,
Twiddlin' their thumbs till the changin' comes
The way good people should.
And if you walk by that corner now,
You may think it's rather strange
To see them there as they hopefully gaze
With the very same smile on their very same face
As they patiently stand in the very same place
And wait for the light to change.




Standing


Standing on my elbow
With my finger in my ear,
Biting on a dandelion
And humming kind of queer
While I watched a yellow caterpillar
Creeping up my wrist,
I leaned on a tree
And I said to me,
"Why am I doing this?"

Tonight

Tonight I was reminded
of why this all began
the point in time where I snap
when forgiveness is absent

Tonight I was reminded
that I can do this alone
even though I don't want to

Tonight I was reminded
that I am true to myself
and that anyone else who cares
would stand beside me
be my back

Tonight I was reminded
that I do this to myself
but that is who I am
this is what I do because I love it

Tonight I was reminded
that no matter how many tears I shed
I can't change the past or the future
destiny awaits

Tonight I was reminded
that whether or not I snapped
the right person wouldn't have cared
that someone is out there
waiting to fix me

Tonight I was reminded

Just Because

Everyone keeps asking
Why him?
the only answer I have is
just because

I know that's a lame excuse
I really have no other explanation
You all tell me I'm a sweet girl
and that he is just anything but

You can question me all you want
but my answer won't change
I wish I knew why
all I can say is just because

Haven

where are you my haven?
I need you to come soon
step by step, day by day
i'm slowly sinking down
I need you to buy me some time
I am hungry from this long starvation
please come soon my haven...

I just want to snuggle
lay my head upon your shoulder
listen to your heart beat of your chest

I want to be comfy and warm
talk the night away until I fall asleep

play with my hair
tell me the truth

sing to me
hold me tight

I want to feel loved
leave a kiss on my forehead
so I can happily dream

I just want to snuggle
lean on you
and melt away into a gentle slumber

You Make Me Happy

cheek to cheek under the auning
staying dry from the pouring rain
and then an interruption
giggling arises
so we run in the rain
and here we are
two soaking wet buddies
erupting with laughter

Long Awaited Friend

you walked into my life at just the right time
though I wish we had been friends much sooner
you hold my hand and tell me everything will be ok
you distract me from the overwhelming stress of life
together we sing and dance
together we drink and talk
you miss me
I miss you
we reunite our kinship with a warm embrace
I love you my long awaited friend

Mmmmmmmm

my spine tingles

you give me chills

I'm red in the face

blushing and embarrassed

but nonetheless

mmmmmmmm

Important

every time you greet me
you light up my life
the song of your voice
the way you hold me
you give me that warm fuzzy feeling
you make me feel like I am important

Missing Paradise

the divine customs
hearing the sound of the waves crash upon the land
watching sea turtles swim away into the deep blue
eating yummy in my tummy food
the fresh companionship
the incredible adventure off the beaten path
walking in the sand
soaking up the sun
catching the waves
aloha

Un Día

I want to meet you
see you smile and feel your touch
I want to see your home
even though it is not so near
I want to play with you and share your innocence
someday it will happen
we will meet and become great friends
un día Pablito
un día....

Here I wait
for someone to make a move
because fear surrounds me
I don't want to lose another friend

you are like a bite
I itch you and it burns

she made a mistake

but he forgave her
by letting her go

of course I will
of course I do

B203

staring back at the empty room
saying goodbye to a hell of a year
shedding a tear just at "see ya later"

remembering that moment in time
that snapshot of life

looking forward to the next vacancy
ghostlike visions of memories
farewell my friend, until we meet again

tomorrow we will be
toes in the sand
letting waves carry us
looking to the horizon
soaking up the sun

tomorrow we will be
beside those who care
sharing words
making memories
laughing and smiling til the day is through

tomorrow we will be there

The Forgotten

knowing you means that you knew me once
but here is to the forgotten
the ones left behind
to stare at glory and happiness
knowing it was once theirs

"no matter what"
that phrase will always lie with me
because I meant it
and clearly I still do

I may not be consciously thinking about it
and trying to avoid it
but love is unavoidable
it comes in many sizes, shapes, and forms
but love happens when it is true
no matter what

I love you
with all my heart
the whole thing
one hundred percent
forever and ever
til the day i die
and then some more
NO MATTER WHAT

love yours truly,
              the forgotten

the drum is beating fast
but i can't quite fit in every rhythm

Inaudible Harmony

so sick of being used
one day i'm yesterdays news
the next day i'm needed

after i do my good deed
i seem to always get left in the dust
no good deed goes unpunished

but does karma really exist
i have yet to experience good karma
for everything seems to be going wrong

nonetheless the energizer bunny keeps hopping along
singing a duet alone
enjoying the inaudible harmony
but wishing to learn a fresh melody
to share with a choir
full with those who cherish me

your words are so vindictive
do you mean what you say
do you even know what you say means
your judgement and labels pathetic
the slang
the vocabulary
the racial slurs
the unconscious insults
displease me in more ways than one
your words are so vindictive
I would have to say that I am done

I want you

I want you to hold me in your arms and never let go

I want you to sweep me off my feet when I least expect it

I want you to press your lips upon mine

I want you to tell me the truth in all your sweet talk

I want you to take me away and travel the world

be my friend

surprise me

love me

be with me

whoever you may be

Girls

I finally have my girls
to hang out with
to gossip
I finally have my girls
to lean on
to love
I finally have my girls
friends for a lifetime
there when I need them
I finally have my girls
we head out for a night on the town
enjoying each others gorgeous company
I finally have my girls <3

he knows best
he is there for me
he gives me advice
to stay away from the temptation of you
the person who pulled me in so close
the person who let me go
only wanting me to still be there for you

he holds my hand
as you lay your head on my chest
he looks me in the eye and reminds me
that i know better

does he really know best?
or is he just fighting for a different team
his own team
not mine

my conscience is torn
because the devil and the angel
are sitting on each of my shoulders
ripping me apart

hard work and determination is supposed to get you somewhere
but where
everything happens for a reason
but what is that reason
when will the pieces of this puzzle we call life fit together
my life as a student
my life in music
my life as a leader
my life as a teacher
my life as a sister
my life as a daughter
my life as an ate
my life as a niece
my life as a granddaughter
my life in work
my life at school
my life at home
my life in family
my life in dance

what to do now?
retreat to what has always been there for me
that no one can take away
dance

we dance because we love our bodies
we dance to move
we dance to music
we dance to silence
we dance to exercise
we dance to let go
we dance to become strong athletes
we dance to clear our minds
we love dance because it loves us back
we dance to dance

Attached

I wish I wasn't so God damned attached
becoming attached only makes letting go worse
attached to a way of life
attached to the people you love
clinging on to a life that will soon pass
excited for the next chapter and things to come
still holding beloved experiences near

here I am, growing
following my dreams
looking to all the wonderful years ahead
I have lived like there is no tomorrow
my mortality reminds me to live each day to the fullest
and this is only the beginning
of my beautiful life and journey of becoming old

knowing I have lived and became attached
every step of the way
only proves I love what I do
I will turn back time when I'm old
and remember all that I've been attached to
and know that my attachment happened for a reason
a reason worth living for
loving life

I wish that I be attached forever
past, present, and future
love your life
get attached

Goals

A goal is something worth fighting for

A goal is someone's dream

Sometimes goals are achieved

Sometimes goals have a time limit

New goals are made when the old are met

What went wrong when a goal has passed?

If you gave yourself the opportunity to succeed

Don't fret about failing when you know you tried

The plain truth is that some things are out of your control

A goal is a reason for doing the things you do

People set goals because they believe they can achieve

The bar is set high 

I am driven, motivated, and determined

My goals will be met

My dreams will come true

because I will let it be so

Running in Rain

the weather is perfect
spring is in the air
I want to run in the rain
jump in puddles
come home soaking wet

the enchantment of drizzle
the handsomeness of the storm
the way you precipitate your love
and sprinkle your delight

the beauty of the day is invigorating
your thunder and music, hallucinating
your welcoming embrace, so captivating

I want to run in the rain

Fine

It happens every time

I see you and you look more and more fine

I wish you were mine

We could have a night out on the town and dine

enjoy a nice glass of wine

You are creeping up on me like a wicked vine

I wonder if that is a sign

because darling you are so fine

I'm Not Ready

I'm not ready to see you go
I can't believe it's already your turn to walk
I don't want to say goodbye
I wish you the best of luck
But tears trickle down my face
because you've left your handprint on my heart
I'm not ready to see you go

My Brother

you are my brother

you are my friend

you make me smile

to no end

The Joke is on Him

every simple gesture
turns out to be ridiculous
not sure how we were ever us
what he does is so extraneous
but it's not only me
everyone else can see
his petty ways
so here's a toast to laughter
because the joke is on him

Nincompoop

Do you remember
all those letters I wrote you
if you can even call it that
do you remember
being young and carefree
I remember
all the silly things
how I felt about you
I remember
blushing at the sound of your name
and how you were such a nincompoop!

Do That Which You Love

listen to the voice within
do that which you love
because pleasing yourself is the only way to win

there comes a day
of epiphany and understanding purpose
the purpose of life

listen to the voice within
do that which you love
and light up the world with that beautiful grin

We are different, you know
You sleep with a buddy
I sleep with a night light
Our differences are all too much the same
Why not coincide and give it a try?

Explore

who wants to come?

fly away with me 

across many seas

who wants to come?

drive a road unknown

and see where it takes us

who wants to come?

ride in a hot air balloon

and see from above the trees

who wants to come?

jump out of a plane 

and let gravity take us as we fall

who wants to come?

with me on my bicycle built for two

who wants to come?

ride a horse beside me 

along the beach

who wants to come?

and share my home

who wants to come?

be by my side in all life's adventures

who wants to come?

explore forever and beyond

Indescribably Happy

indescribably happy
nothing in the world can bring you down
your face painted with a splendid smile
can't think of anything but your emotion
yet cannot explain how you feel
the world just knows
you are indescribably happy

Running

running is me time
I run for me
always driven by something new
when running is not an option I drink tea

looking out the window
a storm is on its way
I think it's time to go for a run
take up this opportunity? I think I may

The Ace Of Hearts

A deck of cards in hand
shuffling and listening
to our favorite band

half black half red
here I am
always remembering what you said

only four suits

clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts

but only one stands apart

you are the one and only
ace of hearts
there's no question how to start
just lead with a heart
there's nothing like playing cards
with the ace of hearts

black jack and poker
no matter the game
you're gambling with my hearts
two through nine
the jack, queen, and king
you act as though it ain't no thing

right here, right now
i'm calling your bluff
as if I haven't seen enough

you are the one and only
ace of hearts
there's no question of how to start
just lead with a heart
there's nothing like playing cards
with the ace of hearts

my euchre game isn't so strong
would you be my partner?
I don't want to go alone

my hand is weak
share yours with me
and we won't be beat

I've got the left
and you've got the right
both of our bowers can put up a fight

you are the one and only
ace of hearts
there's no question of how to start
just lead with a heart
there's nothing like playing cards
with the ace of hearts

you and I are two of a kind
what a pair we'll be
I ask "Do you have a seven?"
You say, "No, go fish.
Do you have a three?"
I hand it over because I know you can see
I let you cheat because

you are the one and only

ace of hearts

there's no question of how to start

just lead with a heart

there's nothing like playing cards

with the ace of hearts

When it comes to pinochle

I'm oh so good at counting cards

you can stack the deck all you want

I know you hold all the trump

I even let you steal the deal

because you've won me over

ace of hearts

no matter all the meld I held

you are the one and only

ace of hearts

there's no question of how to start

just lead with a heart

there's nothing like playing cards

with the ace of hearts

egyptian ratscrew, rummy, and bullshit

canfield, spoons, and speed

you're everything I need

quite the magician, I must add

and here we are

playing fifty-two pick up

now look at what two cards are left

one for me and you

a joker and the ace of hearts

so now what do we do?
would you like to play double solitaire?

I leave it up to you because

you are the one and only

ace of hearts

there's no question of how to start

just lead with a heart

there's nothing like playing cards

with the ace of hearts

My Love

I miss you so much
I can't sleep
I continue to think about us
visions of you drown my mind
I can't wait until the next time we meet
I love you my love

Hearing your voice
knowing you are so near
makes me miss you even more
than when you aren't here

Isa

isang mundo

isang buhay

isang ikaw

isang familia

isang mahal

  mabuhay ng iyong buhay hanggang sa sagad

you'll never have what I have
my life is beautiful with or without you
I have friends and a family who love me
who care and will always be there for me
who will sacrifice for my sake
I have a talent
and a great personality
I am blessed
I am unique
one of a kind
be as jealous as you can be
because you are no longer a part of me
you may say that is all true for you too
but you and I know it isn't
just think it all through

The Sound

Your heartbeat is so soothing in the night
please don't let go of me
keep holding me tight

We've done this before
but this time it's more

Lying my head upon your chest
is one of the best feelings to test

Your heartbeat is so soothing in the night
please don't let go of me
keep holding me tight

Curious Me

seeing that word
gave me so many flashbacks
up all night
my brain is on overload
wondering
wanting to explore
to find out more
hello friend
this is curious me

The Wall

The wall is white
plain and undecorated
but catches the eye
The wall is white
staring at you
waiting for color
The wall is white
so pure but empty
open and bright
The wall is white

Collections

Why do people collect things?

Why do they chose to collect what they collect?

I can tell you that I have a collection of collections.

I collect bottle caps

I collect tshirts

I collect music

I collect glass bottles

I collect pencils

I collect coins

I collect pictures

I collect postcards

I collect wrappers

I collect smashed pennies

I collect playing cards

But what do you call a collection of recollections?

Soaring

flying high above the sky
it's noticeably colorful
distracting, yet attracting
isn't it all wonderful

from blue to fuschia
yellow to green
it's quite an indescribable
sight to be seen

clouds below
are how you know
you are soaring

watching the sunset
is so reminiscent of
all those occasions
that are now old and treasured

watching it slowly slip away
beginning to hide ray by ray
no longer lighting the bay

on the left a seldom and soothing, calm night
and to the right everything is still so bright
this must mean it will be alright
just try not to pick a fight
get lost in the sight at this height
pay attention to the light

to the left, billowing puffy clouds
are so comforting and cozy
on the right, clear skies open for adventure and fun
are mysterious and invigorating

flying high above the sky

it's noticeably colorful

distracting, yet attracting

isn't it all wonderful
traveling in good company

yet so alone
soaring

this plane ride is so insane

what would it be like to journey by train?

yesterday I cried.  okay, maybe I lied

but I did listen to you

sing about the rain

it helped to rid the pain 

reminding that there is something to gain

after voyaging all that terrain

come what may

whatever people say

reply with "Hey, this is my way"

It all starts in the head
transferred thoughts
onto a napkin

jotting down so many ideas
everything comes together
falling perfectly into place

creating the words
that tell these stories
memories of a beautiful life

Queso

chips and queso

taste so good

along with refreshments

to wash it all down

laughing in good company

is all the joy in the world

friends make the night

chips and queso 

taste so good

your apology
means so much to me

I hope you accept mine
and that everything will be fine

it's easy to see you are so genuine
it makes me grin

we will love forever
tear us apart, never

to apologize
means to compromise

here's to us

well there you go
that's the cherry on top

frequently forgotten
left here all alone

acting as though this is something new
knowing it's just something I'm used to

"the straw that broke the camels back"
what is it that I tend to lack?

when you don't have to do all the work
it is one of those unwritten perks
is there anyone out there who isn't a jerk?

My Jacket

Excuse me fine sir
can you help me find my jacket?
I seem to have lost mine
I have a few others
but one is torn
one is ripped
and one is missing a button
I could really use your help
to find the perfect jacket

Getting Around

do you even know 

how to be so pro

every time we see you
you're with someone new

you sure do know how
so, go ahead and take a bow

it is probably bad
that you've been with
Brad, Chad, and your best friends dad

if I were you I'd be anything but proud
knowing I've been with the majority of people in that crowd

now think again
let go of those men

it's time to be true
forget about all that time you blew

know what you want out of
what you see to be real love

A Small Fairy Tale

Once upon a time
There was a boy
and a girl

His song was as perfect
as her hair in a curl

She was happy looking at the boy
He was smiling whilst she laughed

What were they experiencing
some sort of witchcraft?

Once upon a time
There was a boy
and a girl

His voice was so smooth
she was convinced to give it a whirl

She enjoyed his silly hand games
and so He sang her a song

What were they experiencing
had something gone wrong?

Once upon a time
There was a boy
and a girl

He was untouchable
She was nervous

She leaned in to give him a kiss
"That was for singing to me"
They smiled at each other and floated away into bliss

This is a small fairy tale
because once upon a time
there was a boy and a girl

Once upon a time
There was a boy
and a girl

His song was as perfect

as her hair in a curl

She was happy looking at the boy

He was smiling whilst she laughed

they must have been experiencing
some sort of witchcraft

Fake Untrue Cold Kid. Yearning Obsessed Unstable.

That Girl

She rocks that little black dress
like nobody's business

She moves her body
like nobody is looking

She sings her song
as if she is alone

She dances through life
as if there is no tomorrow

She writes a poem
to share with others

She drives her car
to see new things

She hikes along
with a smile upon her face

She listens to music
with emotion stirring

She pushes herself to do more
because she yearns to excel

She drinks tea
because it saved her

She loves you
because she cares

She is
THAT GIRL

Beautiful Starry Night

The darkness of the day
covered me with a blanket
shimmering with beauty

let the relaxation set in
the calmness of the sound
takes away all but one mood

hypnotized in the moment
soaking up this live elegance
no camera could capture

beautiful starry night
carry me away into the twilight
with your whispering breaths

I sit by the warm fire
and snuggle up to protect myself
from your frigid ways

beautiful starry night
I thank you
for comforting me

you had me at hello
i knew we'd have a good go

you killed me at hey
thanks for ruining my day

       I'm disappointed
Now you really let me down
      Nothing left to say

Music

music charms the soul
music tells a story
music creates feeling
music touches
music is emotional
music is complex
music harmonizes
music speaks
music listens
music knows

that snowy day
i looked out my window
saw friends being friends
snow angels, snowmen, snow balls
wishing that was me
that snowy day
i sat alone
staring out my window

It's Okay to be Beautiful

It's okay to be beautiful
It's okay to be hot
It's okay to be sexy
It's okay to be attractive
It's okay to be pretty
It's okay to know what it feels like
It's okay to share yourself
It's okay.....
because you are beautiful

i wonder everyday
what would have happened
if i made a different choice

Tutti Frutti

tutti frutti
what a lovely smell
the smell of beauty
the smell of kindness
the smell of happiness
the smell of fun
the smell of curiosity
the smell of intelligence
the smell of maturity
what a lovely smell
tutti frutti

I see myself in you
just sitting and watching
fate take it's course
worries me

this is all so familiar
when the day comes
please don't be a stranger

I am here
waiting to listen
to tell you
everything will be alright

Play Smart

know the game
know the competition
work it

who are you to tell me I need to grow up?
what did I do to deserve this?
where did I go wrong?
when am I going to understand?
why are you acting like this?
how did this happen?

When Somebody Loved Me

I remember when
somebody loved me
when I got to say those words
"I love you too"
when someone was there
when any bad day turned around
in an instant
when my head was in the clouds
how sweet life was
I remember all this now
will cherish it forever
if there wasn't ever a past
there would never be a future
if there was no such thing as sad
what would it mean to be happy
it's times like these that make
times like those so precious
imagine if there were no ups and downs in life
what would be the point?

I appreciate you
I love you
I thank you

Together Forever

You gave me that lump in my throat
I loved you so
We didn't even know

You knew how to hold my heart
I never wanted to be apart
We were best friends

You woke me in the night
I started a fight
We forgave each other

You made me laugh
I had quite the chime
We had such great times

You
I
We
and thats why they were said to be

.....together forever

Young Summer Days

Oh that summer day
I let you drive me around
in my car

Oh how the sun was shining down
I looked at your face
how beautiful you were

Oh the wind in my hair
I stared at my reflection in the mirror
that was a happy me

Oh the music we listened to
I was having fun jamming with you
enjoying the company

Oh the thoughts in my head that day
I knew I was going to marry you
and live oh so happily ever after

I remember all those times
You were there holding me
A little longer than a hug <3

this morning I was mad
but seeing you made me GLAD

the way you lay there
is oh so irresistible

Smooth

He makes a bad day go away
He makes you forget everything
He gets you in the moment
He knows what he is doing

She

she inspired me
to do so many things
she has taught me
all that words can bring

she has shown me
beauty is great
she reminds me
that it's never too late

she guides me
unknowingly so
she has helped me
learn to grow

she loves me
forever and more
she is my sister
the girl I adore

life is a series of pictures
take in every moment of every snapshot

the boy can dance
he chooses to dance with me
i go along with this silly dancing boy
he smiles at me
i laugh and keep dancing
beside him

you broke my heart
shouldn't I be upset
shouldn't I want to let go
isn't that how I should feel?

as frustrated as you make me
i love it
i love that i woke up to a text from you this morning
GOOD morning

My Empty Everyday

wake up
get dressed
go to class
go to work
eat
dance
homework
go to sleep
as if nothing happened today
or any day
because my days are empty
without you

why am I crying?
because I love him

oh that feeling
when you lay
your head on my shoulder
your soft hair brushes against my cheek
i listen to you breathe
to know you are comfortable
leaning on me
makes me
oh so happy

My comfy bed

Relaxing in my comfy bed
not much to be said
just content
lying in my comfy bed

Where is it?
that missing element
why we became so close
FUN
it is now distant
'tis why we grew apart
what happened to the fun?

Attractive
defined
good musician
stylish
witty
true
this must be
why i am drawn to you

Friends

Friends
give good hugs
make you laugh
connect through smiles
listen and hear
they know you are worth something

I've learned to let things slide
it may not always be fair
I'm not sure why
it's just you
you make me.....

Lonely Is

Lonely is
an empty bed
a wet face
remembering the feeling
the feeling of your love

It's been three months

And all I can do is wonder

Why you fell out of love

How you don't love me  :/

Your Way

The way you sing
The way you play
The way you do
Is the reason I smile at you :)

Tea

I walk alone

Wandering into the darkness

No where to go

I turn around and dawdle back

As if I have a home

Tears frozen to my face

No room left on my mittens to wipe my nose

I trek through the snow across adams field

I sit a moment on walters bench

I shuffle to the other side of the field

Plop down in the snow

I see above me the moon

I feel the calmness of the night

Listen to the cars drive by

Watch the clouds cover the moon

Then reveal it again

As I lay in the snow

I see calm empty branches

I feel a cold wet bottom

I take in the warm breeze as it grazes my face

Alone in the snow

No one would even know

I get up and walk away

Staring back at my sad excuse for a snow angel

I ask myself what next

I have no clue

I feel as though I haven’t blinked in forever

I don’t want to eat

At first I wanted friends for comfort and support

I couldn’t get it

Now they come to me and I don’t want it

I want to be alone

Fall asleep

And hope that I don’t have to awake

For my power is on low

I cannot face another day of emptiness and misery

Though this is how I feel now

I know if I come to read this pathetic excuse for a poem

I will think how crazy I was to even write these words

But this is how I feel

My shirt smells like mothballs

I am cold

Out of tears

Out of feeling

I am not here

I have nothing to say

What can I do to get out of this state of mind?

Tea

I actually had a thought

Tea

An interruption

Tea

I want to drink some tea

Did tea really just save me?

Wow I am lost

I guess I’ll go drink some tea…..
