I write because
It frees me
From deep inside
My soul cries out
Through the ink on the page

I can hide behind the words
And yet release my inner being
Because no one
Reads a poem
Exactly the same

I write because
I love the way
The pen glides smoothly
Over an untouched surface-
The canvas for my lyrical paints

Writing is music
For my literary mind
I love poetry

It is hard to say
Quite where my excitement begins
Seemingly deep inside,
The adrenaline pumps
Straight from my heart.
Intrinsic as it is,
This energy builds from the drums
And the power of the cadence
As it rolls off the rims
And pounds it's dissonant melody
Deep in to my core
The roar of a thousand bodies
United under a unanimous thought
A single goal
I nearly cannot contain
The passion building inside me
The crowd swaying me
To wish for exactly what they want
I am soon swept far away
Lost deep in the energy
Propelled by endless streams of
Enthusiasm
And loud cheers of affirmation
I cannot and will not turn back
I love being lost here
Inside this beautiful cacophony
Echoing cries of pure joy
And music raised to the stars
Underneath these Friday night lights
Yep this is about football. I'm a little addicted to the high school games.

Oh, but you have broken my heart.

It's now in two halves,

And one belongs to you

I can't promise you
It will always be easy
I can't promise you
I'll always know what to do
I can't promise you
I have all the answers

But I can promise you
A lot more than that
I will hold your hand
When there's nothing else I can do
I will stand by you
Until I am ripped from your side
I will protect you
With all I am
I will defend you
Care for you
Encourage you
Cheer you up
I will always be ready
With a hug for when you're sad
And a kiss for when you're lonely

Nothing can keep us apart
No force on earth
Has the power to make me
Un-love you.
And so,
I won't.

I love you
With all of my heart
And I intend
To continue doing so
Until the end of time
I have now spent a year with my best friend, my boyfriend. Thank you for all you do for me. I love you K.

I broke them
Those foolish walls
Guarding your most
Prized possession,
An item nearly
Within my reach-
But for the wall.
Now, it has left
The guard is down
No more lock and key
Just an open stretch of land.
I can see the end,
But feel as though
This is only the beginning.
The wall was merely
The first obstacle.
Through the fog
I can see the next.
Indecision, tension,
A heart so burdened
With things it had
Never
Released.
What lay beyond the wall
Was more than I had bargained
And more incredible
Than I could've ever fathomed
But it was all worth it,
All worth it for the one thing
I've wanted all along-
Your heart

Slowly and calmly
Down the brook
Floating silently as
An owl stalks it's prey
The quiet leaf
Fallen days before
Drifting
Drifting
Blown with the wind
Carried by the current
No place to be and
No time to be there
Perhaps this is the picture
Of true serenity
Peace and tranquility

Nothing but a leaf
A slow and gently moving
Leaf
Inspired by another poet, with his poem encouraging young poets to write about leaves

Sanguine eyes
Rose colored glasses
The way of life
I used to live
No longer there
In mind
Mood disarray
Disposition shattered
Positive negative
Happy sad
Charming tragic
I cannot return
Yet I wish
And isn't wishing sanguine?
