I have a fiery passion inside of me for literature, and fine arts. / Especially poetry directed in the expression of feelings. / I write many poems every day in my spare time, to release the things I can't physically say aloud. Follow me, and you'll be able to practically read my every thought. Enjoy.
Don't think about the yesterdays, Don't worry about tomorrow,
Focus on the present and take away my sorrow.

My refuge, my safe haven.
fit for a getaway on any occasion.
The smell of the ocean breeze.
The feel of the water up to my knees.
linens as comforting as the
scented candles which smell quite fine,
all in all the perfect place to unwind.

A month ago.
31 days .
744 hours.
44,640 minutes.
2,678,400 seconds.
From this very moment.
I ran up to the man of my dreams,
And was held tightly in his embrace.
His smile light up his face,
Like the sun lights up the afternoon skies.
His eyes gleamed with happiness.
Like the stars when they fill the up the dark night.
Caught up in his presence alone.
I remembered once again what it felt like.
What it felt like to be whole again,
Not worrying about the tomorrows to come.
Or the yesterdays once held.
Now holding more then my hand.
He carries my entire being.
Treated with delicacy,
Shielded from the damage that falls all around me.
Taught once again what it feels like,
What it feels like to love.
A month ago.
I ran up to the man of my dreams.

The words you want to hear.
The words that's should be said.
Sometimes they hurt,
Or sound better in your head..

She sat next to the window seal,
Stared blankly out into the world.
Watching each raindrop until it reach the end of its course.
She wondered where she went wrong,
What did she do to deserve this?
Why did everything have to happen to her?
She's the girl with the smile that could light up a room.
She's the girl with the personality so beautifully unique
She's the girl with the heart so kind.
She's the girl that experienced to much pain to realize this about her self.
Broken by the people she thought she could trust.
Eaten up from the inside out, from all the memories.
Lived with her regrets chained to her ankles.
She cried to herself every night.
Feeling stuck. wishing for a way out.
But never found one..
She dreamed of someone you only see in movies.
someone to wrap her up with comfort, and care for her.
That person hasn't come..
But little did she know..
She's the girl everyone loved.
She's the girl everyone wanted to be around.
She's the girl no one could ever forget.
She was to blinded to realize that these things were true. no matter how many times she heard them, she'd never fully believe them..
" She's" me.

Love me.
hate me.
Want me.
forget me.
You saved me from drowning in this ocean of lies,
just to throw me right back in.
assumtions were made.
rumors were spread.
the choice was there.
you didn't have any faith.
but you still took the leap.
broken was my heart.
now shattered is a better word.

Waking up with the sun spread across my face.
Lean over the side of my bed.
Moving at a slow pace.
Matted is the hair upon my head.
Make my way to the bathroom.
Putting on the face everyone see's
I need to hurry I'll have to leave soon.
Wishing I could just leave as I please.
Grabbing my things, heading out the door.
I need to catch the bus.
Left something I needed on my bedroom floor.
Can't go back to get it, my mom will make a big fuss.
I sit there in seat double my size.
In my own world not saying a word.
Awaiting at my destination is no surprise.
Looking out my window everything seems blurred.
Arriving to where we're forced to be.
I'll sit alone in the hallway.
Until it's him I see.
We both will say 'Hey'
Then we'll talk about anything that seems to fit.
loosing track of time until the bell sounds.
other then a few moment I don't like it here not on bit.
Walking on all new grounds.

These four walls much like a cave.
In which I'm sent to if I misbehave.
The walls so seemingly bare,
Contain the stories of someone somewhere.
The air filled with sent of fresh paint.
Over all it's feeling quite quaint.
Unpacking my memories one by one,
Feeling the warmth on my skin from the sun.
The sounds of the cars speeding by fast.
Leaving my old home left a hole in my heart so vast.

Ich liebe dich..
We thought in the back of our minds.
Ich liebe dich..
We murmured under our breath.
Ich liebe dich..
We were to scared to say aloud.
Ich liebe dich..
We both knew it.
Ich liebe dich..
You finally shared it.
Ich liebe dich..
And I'll never stop..

Book of secrets book of thoughts.
Tell them nothings but tell you lots.
What's inside you'll never know,
The feelings I try not to show.
At my side throughout the day
So I can record the things I can really say.
A simple book of 5" by 8"
Bu I stay up writing in you until its late.
It's pages to me are so familiar.
But whats this I see? something peculiar.
It's not a word nor a letter,
What could it be something better?
Not made of silk, not made of leather,
Could it be a small white feather?
It's looks are so delicate,
It's looks so pure, am I dreaming? I'm not quite sure.
Then with a rattle, then with a shake!
Are my eyes fooling me is this a mistake?
All of a sudden it begins to form wings!
Then I hear a chirping like a song you could sing!
Oh tell me now is this a miracle sent from above?
God has gifted me with a pure white dove.
Not a worry in my mind, no regrets left to say.
Oh thank you God. Thank you for THIS day.
