Today, the first day of spring
The first day, of everything.
Such a lovely
time of year, that spring.
It creeps up on you
greets you with
wonderful winds
surprises you
with new smells
and colors
new tastes
so alive
it feels as though
it's been forever
I've waited for you
to grace me with
this wondrous weather
I'll miss you Winter,
but spring,
is incredible

Fear, fear, fear
this and that
but not that
pretend
to fear that
but not this
and can't
forget that
Fear, fear, fear
what am I afraid of?
Of you, of it, of them?
What is it?
I question the mirror
to understand
why so fearful
my friend?
what lies inside?
fear, fear, fear
builds up over time
eating away
every day
a parasite
infested
in your veins
let go of it
run for it
face it
embrace it
fear
don't fear it
look in the mirror
it'll become clearer
don't be afraid
you aren't trapped
you only think
you've been
let go, let go, let go
my friend

"It's like you reached your hand right into my heart, and plucked those very words from my soul.....I know, I know, it's okay, you don't have to say, cause' I know, I know.."

Just something that came to mind when I was trying to get some homework done....
Love is amazing, lovers that is. You can be sitting in the same coffee shop, two tables over, on the same day. When you see them, you'll know. It's an unmistakable energy, flowing from them, a brand new life source, it seems. True love, oh, what a beautiful thing. You can tell, you can see it. They may not see the beauty in the shining light radiating from them, as if they were wearing an extra layer of skin. Such beauty shines through, when two lovers step in. You see, they love so much, and feel so much, the love begins to spread. You see it, and you see the dread, slowly leaving everyone's faces, as if God walked in and showed them all the way. I've never seen such beautiful a thing, as when two lovers pass by me. I look, I smile, and carry on my way. When you witness such a love, it almost takes your breath away, as if all the ice inside your heart, could just melt away. Love is, the beginning, the middle, and it has no end. There is no other way, than to love, be loved, and eventually float away. Pay closer attention, when you're out and about, you never know, two lovers may come along and just warm your heart.

I see the ground and the sky
is it above or below me?
Quite possibly I'm blind
The world is always spinning
But there's not much time
The sun is slowly dying
and I haven't accomplished
my dreams, so what am
I left to do? But just live my life
Do, feel, see, touch, taste, experience
whatever, wherever, with whomever I'd like
And eventually, my soul, It'll fly off into unknowns
And finally, oh finally, I'll be on my journey home.

We speak in revisions
and ever flowing renditions
We laugh, in sonnets and haiku
We speak from our hearts
and often times, become removed
Lost in a poetic world of rhymes,
and lines. Scattered across
many, a many lifetime
We write, we write, we write
because we know, words
are always on our side
I could give you more
explanation, but I'm just
living a poets life.

My heart, my heart
will eventually
unfold
All these secrets, secrets
untold
My heart, my heart
it bears, far too much weight
I must release, release everything
before, way before, I walk the plank
I must release, release once more
before, way before, or this ship will sink
and no more passengers, are left on board
