Welcome to society, / We hope you enjoy your stay, / And please feel free to be yourself, / As long as it’s in the right way, / Make sure to love your body, / Not too much or we’ll tear you down, / We’ll bully you for smiling, / And then wonder why you frown, / We’ll tell you that you’re worthless, / That you shouldn’t make a sound, / And then cry with all the others, / As you’re buried in the ground, / You can fall in love with anyone, / As long as it’s who we choose, / And we’ll let you have your opinions, / But please shape them to our views, / Welcome to society, / We promise that we won’t deceive, / And one more rule now that you’re here, / There’s no way you can leave. / / ~e.h / / *this poem makes you understand just how fucked up our society truly is.
something in the way you are ....draws me out and calms my soul...
something about you makes me smile contentedly....
something about you comforts me when im locked deep down an abyss....
something about you change how i look at life...
something about you my beautiful lady.....there is just something about you......for when i found you......i found me...

I wanna come home....
I have looked amongst thousands of faces,
looking for someone i do not know but felt.
The journey began, leading me deep into the forest
to an altogether different land.
You continued to elude me
and I was afraid I’d lose my chance,
Just when i have given up all hope on love...
You appear on the horizon...
my love, my joy......my light! my life has begun:)
There's a feeling of peace and serenity
..............I finally found my home ...
I do not need to be saved
I do not wish to be owned
I just want to find my way back home

no one ever tell us bout the dark side of life
the pain never really ends,
its like a stabbing pen,
on this heart of mine...
silent screams that ring into the night...
no one hears....its echoes over and over with all its might..
if only life was simple....cruising through; smelling roses instead of obstacles blackening the countryside....
dreams sustain us through the madness....
the whirlwind, 3ring circus...total mayhem and pandemonium of this so called life...
yet amidst the turmoil... angels are sent...
the people we met, whom we love shaped our destiny,
held us on through love, strength and hope...
the bond we formed will make the path a little less lonely......cherish the short intervals,God's gift to you.......but in the end.... you will have to travel alone......that is also true....

Death i am called....my arrival usually accompanied by screams and cries of horror and pain...even utter silent acceptance,
begging for forgiveness ...
i can't save you humans!
.......in my hand, my scythe.....i have to take you, with or without a fight...i am but a messenger, an angel of death......
i am lonely, i must confess.....i have no friends,
stealing souls is my forte.
i lurk in darkness for eternity with nothing but wails of misery.......
i clench my fists; shaking with rage....
i desperately stare above....wishing to fly, free as a bird.......to be released from this
chains of loneliness..
no reprieve .....only madness and shame.
shoulders bent....i trudged many weary miles...
even i could not stop death....

Tonight, I did the saddest thing,
I called out your name to the evening star,
clearly pronouncing the syllables
to see your name dissipated......in the air, evaporate.
I tried to write my feelings down on paper, but felt like it wasn't enough, so inadequate?
Have you ever just wished they could read your mind
so they would know just how much you love them?
Have you ever loved someone so much they're all you think
and dream about?
Have you ever been in love?
Its nights like these.....that I wish I could hold you in my arms......... our lives together, to be as one

you hold my heart in your hand,
it is safe there, in sunshine land.
my mind often wanders,
to you it must go....
no other vision but of thee,
closest to my heart it must be
you hold my heart from day to night,
from sunset to the first sunlight...
my world has become a wondrous adventure,
*"a magic carpet ride, over, sideways and under,
Indescribable feelings,
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling" ........:)*
you have me quoting lines from movies....
ahh i must be in love.....abash.....sheepish....how groovy
I love you my redhead, blue eyed ladybelle
well that you must know.....
in your hands, my heart's aglow

i yearn...
what most people take for granted:
~ to hold your hands
~ to look into your eyes
~ to kiss you good night
~ to whisper in your ear 'i love you'
i yearn for the mere joy of being with you
........all that i am......i yearn for you...
*You are of the gentle things in life,
like a warm mug of coffee on a cold night,
big comfy sweaters to sleep in.
You are of the beautiful things in life,
like the sky when the sun rise,
the way your face lights up each time you smile...*

i tried so hard not to fall in love with you...
tried so hard to stay unaffected but you...
you blew in .......shook the walls of my heart,
blinded me with a light so bright, it lifted the shroud of gloom and hopelessness...
i have grown to see love lost
and to find disappointment...
i have felt love treacherous's grip....
but you touched my weary soul......
with you.... home is just another word to describe you.....

Did you know ...
That there is no one in my world besides you with whom I can spend my entire day doing whatever comes along with never a thought for anyone else
Feeling completely satisfied because we are together?
Did you know ...
That there is no one besides you whom I can talk to openly and honestly
Knowing our love will only grow and feeling a need for nothing but our conversation?
Did you know ...
That there is no one more comfortable for me than you
Whom I can enjoy silence with and never have a need to fill space between us
Because there is no space?...
Did you know ...
That no one has ever made me as happy as you have or loved me so completely
Never have I known true intimacy until we grew to where we are?
Did you know ...
That in loving you
I have experienced feelings far beyond any I could have imagined and far better than I believed possible?

frustrations.....we all have em....when 3-fold applications of doubt surround my fate, words I've found they bring me peace and light.... the weight we carry lighten ...the cloud of gloom dissipated.
we all have weights......a cross to bear,
we all have our sorrows........while it varies in dimensions...the color of grief is common to us all.....
"Be still, my soul; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain ...
