Poetry is art
      Poetry is visual

Poets can see the words

The way a play write
Can see the actors on stage
       with every line he writes

The way a musician
Can see the notes dance on air
       with every key she plays

The way a sculptor
Can see the final sculpture
       with every cut of their knife

The way a painter
Can see the waves of the ocean
        with every stroke of blue
                  on a blank canvas

Poetry is visual
      Poetry is art
            Poets are artists
       They write **from the heart

I hate the way you don't tell me your feelings
I hate when I feel like you don't care
I hate that even though you're near, you're not there
I hate that you make me feel so many different emotions

I want to punch you in the jaw
I want to kiss you on the lips
I want to kick you in the shins
I want to hug you close to me

I love to hear you walking down he hallway
I love when you tell me your fears and dreams
I love when you look at me in the eye
I love that you make me feel so many emotions

I need to be able to call you mine
I need to have you around always
I need you in all ways thought
I need you to want me back the same

I love you
No, wait
I hate you

Worlds shaking
Hearts breaking
Iniquity razing
our reality

The castle with
lonely halls
desperate calls
for holy hands

Frustration breaks
your stained glass
pieces of beauty
forever despised

As worlds shake
and hearts break
forgiveness rebuilds
the castle stands still

When you Turn 22
Things tend to tread for years on end
No longer the blushing youngster
or the naive college drinker
the world may open slowly
as an oyster holding closer it's pearl
the same goes for the world
once coming of age
becomes the ripe wine we've been waiting for
you will not turn to stone
but turn into the truth
which is who you've been designed to be
after 21
this is when the silhouette you've been filling
finally fades on in
who are you
who did you want to be
well now,
let's find out.

Five years we've been together
And everything has been great
We've shared our deep dark secrets
And stayed up talking late

I know what you are thinking
With just the slightest glance
And with every passing minute
I know we didn't meet by chance

From the moment that I met you
I felt a connection to your soul
And with every single "I-love-you"
I've felt my heart becoming whole

Whenever I am with you
It's like my heart is set aflame
And I feel it skip a beat or two
At the mention of your name

I can't imagine spending life
Without you by my side
And if you got down on one knee
I'd happily be your bride

More than anything in this life
I want to spend my days with you
Building our lives and future
And knowing our love is true

You are the one I want
My only love is you...
*But I know you don't really love me
You only think you do.
