He is so many words
that cannot be spoken
or even be truly written
as a beautiful rhyme.
My bursting heart chords
they sing,
to love they have awoken.

He is always on my mind
to him I am devoted,
I recall beautiful memories
and embrace my comforting thoughts
because I know he is mine.
I smile,
as words of love become woven.

He radiates a love so strong
our bond cannot be broken
my happy heart leaps
leading my undying rhythm.
My never-ending song
I dance,
to poetry in motion.

Secrets

I wonder if our secrets are heard by the trees?
As joyfully dancing leaves gently fall to the ground.
I do wonder if they tell our secrets
to the ever flowing breeze?

Do the sweet sounding birds hear our secrets whistle by on the wind?
Are songs composed and carried by feathered wings,
as birds create beautiful melodies
and recall our secrets as they sing?

Does the rainfall catch our secret whispers with each drop?
Telling all as they become one with the sea?
Does the lunar pull send them out with the tide
and share our secrets with the stars which stay silent but shine eternally?

Photographs

Charming photographs arranged proudly,
hung from walls and displayed to see.
These wonderful memories captured,
As moments encased in a fragile frame
preserving an image of immortality.

"I love you"

Those words pass so easily through your lips but they mean so much more to me.

You see...
My love would move mountains for you,
it would climb tirelessly towards the highest peak and share its breathtaking view.

My love flows deeper than any ocean or sea; It navigates the tides and kisses the shoreline of your soul.
This aqueous body of love appears unfathomable to me.

My love is a beautiful flower, perhaps a humble garden rose, my thorns keep me steadfast, while I bloom with lovely petals
as tokens of a love for you that will forever grow.

My love for you will endure through this life; I will remain constant, caring, and true; Because, to put it simply my heart

"I love you too."

Writer's Block

Sometimes,
When I am with my demons or angels,
and drowning alone in silence,
I find solace in my inauspicious life.

Sometimes,
Solitude is the only place
where I can remain contemplative,
as thoughts freely flow within my mind.

Sometimes,
There is beauty in quiet introspection,
my unvoiced passions are never denied,
but must I remain unloved, as time slowly slips by?

Is my mind merely irresolute?
Torn into pieces by ambivalent thought,
at war with itself, until reason intervenes...

and then I begin to write.

The Burden of Empathy

In this world, I find myself alone,
Surrounded by a chaos of troubles, including my own
As you expect me to stand strong as everything crumbles,
because you expect me to help you atone?

I am a dancing light through the darkness
For many, it seems, through their stress.
My heart grows weary,
yet I remain humble,
As you plead for me to protect.

Through all of your worries and woes,
I stand with you, and I oppose;
But when all is resolved,
I'm left to struggle
As life deals me blow after blow.

Why is life so ominously wicked
To those who are giving and committed? Through it all,
my priorities are juggled
and from my time, you greatly benefit.

But these questions keep manifesting in my mind:
Why do I care so much,
and why am I so kind?
Why must I carry everyone's burdens
When they do not feel inclined?

Indomitable

Hurt lingered here,
deep within my heart,
as loyalty and misery
Tore me apart.

Disappointment ate away,
Devouring my every thought,
As the angry words replayed over
after the battles we fought.

My mind was forever searching
and looking for clues,
hoping to find the source
Of the anguish in you.

Time is unforgiving,
But I will choose to forgive,
I'll never forget the torment,
Yet I'll learn to truly live.

My scars tell their stories,
Some you may never see,
The pain is not easily forgotten
but it no longer defines me.

I am fortunate and free,
I've finally moved on.
Peace is now with me,
As I emerge brave and strong.

To leave is a brave thing to do.
