He told her
she was
like pottery;

*fragile
but beautiful.

.

If the forest screams
and a tree falls,
which sound would you hear?

.

*All I have left now
to remember you by
is the constant pain
of my broken heart . . .
I hope it never subsides

.

*I find the poetry I read
While running through this site
Takes my breath away from me
And makes me want to write

But when I sit to do the same
With thoughts I have to share
I drop the pen and realize
That I can not compare

For here I find so many words
From in their hearts so deep
Emotions put down on the page
Within my mind do seep

Amazing is a word I use
Describing what I see
Every day there’s something new
Right there in front of me

I’d really like to name a few
But please don’t take this wrong
My list would have a hundred names
And make this thing too long

I know that none of you would stay
And read this to the end
So I’ll just say to everyone
My thanks to you again

And now with that I’ll end this piece
So happy to report
I managed to thank everyone
While keeping this quite short

.

*Sadness invades
every corner left open
Ears falling deaf
to the thoughts that do scream
Heartbeats are breaking
in moments of worry
Tears on the edge
of a fracturing dream

Anguish now splintered
as window panes shatter
Closing the curtains
to fend off the fear
Still there is one,
hoping you will hold on too
Look in your heart
and you’ll find I am near

Taking your hand,
bringing light to the darkness
Trudging a path
so your feet do not bleed
Lifting you up
when your spirits are drowning
I will be there
in your moment of need

I am not much
just a friend who adores you
Taking your pain
as if it’s all my own
Heeding your call
nothing else it does matter
A long as I breathe
you are never alone
