Hi there, how are you
I'm happy you stopped by
I really like the poems
you've been writing

You worded them so nice,
the phrases made me smile
I read them and my thoughts
begin igniting

I learn so many things,
from your creative work
You've taken me to places
I’ve not seen

The endings were superb,
your stanzas so enchanting
I felt as if I slipped
into a dream

You touched my lonely heart,
while I just sat here reading
Hoping when I did
it would inspire

So I could write like you,
express a thousand feelings
About this special woman
I desire

For I am so in love,
she makes my body tingle
More beautiful than I’ve  
seen anywhere

And when I kiss her lips,
completely mesmerizing
Like heaven sent an angel
down to share

My life is not the same,
whenever she is with me
To hold her in my arms,  
it feels so good

So thank you for your words,
the poems you’ve been posting
They help me out just like
I hoped they would

Now I am off to read
some more amazing poems
That I now find are scattered
on this site

And thanks for stopping by,
you wondrous hello poets
Keep writing and I wish you all
good night

we are breathing the same air
we are looking at the same skies
we are living in the same world*

but why are our hearts are not beating in the same rhythm?

the sun sets
and with it, my defenses

the night makes me vulnerable
to you

the stars come out
and I look up

I replace each of their names
with a memory of you

and when I piece them together
you become a constellation

the sun rises
     you rise
the moon rises
     you rise

you are a constant light

they say you shouldn't hold on to the past

the thing is, you were always the future

every red light asks me on repeat
where is she?
shouldn't she be on the passenger seat?

They kept asking
What I would do
If I ran into you

But it's the thought  
Of never seeing you again
That keeps me up at night
