Do not stand at my grave and weep..
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry..
I am not there. I did not die.

I** Have Been Thinking,
Lately, I Just Think Of You,
Lately I Have Thought,
I Have Thought Of Only You,
Have You Been Thinking Of Me?
Me? Smitten?! Who Told You?;)

Length civilizes.
Brevity immortalized.
Between, a clothesline.
One of the first poems that I posted on the site, that about three people read, so I resubmit for you consideration and my reputation's reparation

Black or white,
We are all human.
Straight or gay,
We are all human.
Tall or short,
We are all human.
Small or large,
We are all human.
Republican or Democrat,
We are all human.
Smart or average,
We are all human.
Athletic or brittle,
We are all human.
Secure or insecure,
We are all human.
Outcast or accepted,
We are all human.

Society is defined by stereotypes.
We are so quick to judge.
But it shouldn't  matter what we look like,
Or what our opinions are.
We are all apart of the same race:
The human race.
We may seem different,
But we really are very much alike.
We all have the same parts,
Just our own ways of expressing them.
We all struggle,
In one way or another.
Reach out your hand to a fellow human in need.
The pain is more bearable together.

We are individuals,
But we are one:
One race,
One species,
One community,
One population,
One identity.

*We are one.

Your beautiful dark eyes
Makes me smile

Your beautiful lips
Makes me wanna kiss you

Your beautiful voice
Makes me wanna listen to you all day

Your beautiful strong arms
Makes me feel safe

You are beautiful
And that is why it never will be

You and I

It feels wrong
To listen to our song
The words don't sound true
Either do you

You say you love my smile
But it's your fault it hasn't been there
For a while
I'm not going to pretend anymore
You are no longer the one I adore

You have only been playing with my mind
All your lies are the only things I find
I want to get the words out of my head
I want to have my three words unsaid


I
Love
You

Please delete that
From my mind
From my heart
From my lips
From your ears
Delete me

Clouds rolling
In
Winds picking
up
Waters getting
choppy
The moon is disappearing
The stars are disappearing
Maybe I can
also
disappear
on this night
On the wings of
the wind
and
just float away
