Me
What do you see
when you look at me?
Do you see the fire and demise
or the love and happiness in the skies?

When you look at my eyes
Can you see all the lies
or do you see all the hate?
There is very little good, it's my fate

When you hear my words
Is it beautiful like chirping birds?
Or do you hear the hurt
so much pain, crumpled up in the dirt

When you hold me tight
can you see the light
that you radiate so bright?
It makes my world so right

When you look at me
I hope you see
The love, the birds, the good
and to be your light too,

I would.
Some thoughts I had recently.

I must be suffering from insanity
to me a calamity
I'm overwhelmed by such tragedy
Please redefine sanity?

I'm sure I'm not that crazy
These creatures of thought are obstructed and hazy
Out of order and not in shape
Can I fix this with duct tape?

No I'm definitely insane
Still driving in the wrong lane
Oddly I feel no pain
Though not receiving anything to gain

I still wonder what the bases is
Is there some sort of sanity quiz?
Let me take it
I have quite the wit!

I should open my mind and look inside
peel my brain back open wide
See all the creatures and beings inside
'Here is your sanity' they lied.
There has got to be someone that sees me as normal, right?

To some
  it may just
    be words,
  poetic thoughts
     written on a
          page,
   found within
             the imagination...

but to me
  it is a heart
    reaching out,
  in honest phrases
        penned
   by one who
         wishes he were
           in your arms
     at the beginning
   and the end
         of every
                *verse
She is my poetry in words written on my heart.

Cinnamon wishes
and good morning kisses
the coffee is put on to brew

Sunlight is shining
a new day designing
the lawn glistens covered in dew

Songbirds are singing
their melodies bringing
sweet harmonies floating so true

My smile now beaming
a perfect day gleaming
*I can't wait to start it with you
Good morning beautiful

It's the birds in the air -
how fair is it that they should fly care-free
only to land on power lines that help your faraway words get said to me?
Replayed through my head in dreams where I'm climbing up some impossibly tall tree to grab at fruit that withered weeks ago.
Bitter flesh tastes best when blended with the rest of the roots.
I can't keep track of which of these fields actually yielded vegetables.

Snipped at the base,
soaked in water,
sprinkled with lemon juice to spruce up the taste.
I just need a minute.
Please, just give me a moment to clean up the place.
What a mess.

Over thinking and analysis
can result in self-paralysis.
Digging through dirt for truth can leave you stuck in a ditch
with dimensions the perfect size and fit
of your own body.
Lines, holes, graves.

There is a war in my heart
When did this start?
I feel like I'm caving in
to myself from within

Such a heavy weight on my chest
Can someone take a little and leave me the rest?
But there is no one in sight
Just me outside and alone on this starry night.

This pain is getting the best of me
fading away of what I used to be
I can feel the raging war
My heart grows fierce even more

I fall to my knees gripping my heart
It throbs about to burst apart
I sqeeze my eyes shut to the pain
Feel the water run down my face from the rain

Then I hear someone close by
I look up and begin to cry
For who I see in front of me
Is the couple we were meant to be

I wander to where I was last
I sit
I read
Your name, the dates on the stone in different contrast

There is a War in my heart
I pray it will be the last
To a friend.
Can you still hear the music my heart is making?
Gentle and clear.
I see you.
I feel you.
I need you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

Because...

All I can hear now is the beat of your heart-
Loud and firm.
**I see her.
I feel her.
I need her.
I love her.
I love her.
I love her.
I love her.
I love her.
Not you.
It's been awhile since i posted something happy here but now that all i could feel is brokeness.. i couldn't fill my pages with words to mend a broken heart.

Sweetest temptation
One I adore
Angel from heaven
I love you more

Skin soft as satin
Eyes like a gem
Lips sweet like candy
Kiss me again

A heart that is caring
A soul that will fill
Laughter for sharing
Warmth from the chill

Beautiful mornings
Magical nights
Springtime in winter
Every delight

Shooting stars shimmer
When you’re with me
Waves sing harmonic
Out on the sea

Leaves change their colors
Snow on the ground
Loving each other
No ones around

Now until ever
Far past the end
My love keeps growing
To you I send

Fantasies fashion
From up above
Forever my darling
You I will love
Good morning Beautiful
