Why must it be
Every time I try
To love a new person
They push me to the side

I wish to know a person
To really have fun
Yet all they do is shun me
And leave me to die

Thrice over have I
Been pushed in the corner
Left there alone
And nobody cares

Up it rises, up it goes,
Ever flowing, ever knowing,
Covering all we once knew
In an unknown sea of blue.

We long to see what once was there;
It’s all suddenly gone; so unfair!
Did we miss the chance?
Or is it still right there?

As if in answer to our prayer,
The ebbing begins
Unleashing the old to us again
Yet, we are still unsure.

Will it work? Is it us?
Or is the undertow
Simply too much?
We may never know.

If you decide to get your feet wet,
Watch out, be careful!
Next thing you know,
You’ll be in an unexpected flow.

Open asphalt field
Stretching across the land.
It seems the future is sealed
Without my hand.

The appeal of the plane.
The ability to simply leave,
Leave behind the archaic bane
To the sky with one heave.

If only to fly!
Leave it all behind!
Current life die,
New one, I find.

The simple answer,
Harder to cure than cancer.
This is my absolute favorite of what I have written, hope you all enjoy!

The gentle tap
On the pane
Awakens the sleep
Within the sane
On it goes
hitting the ground
On it stirs
On it pounds
A flash of light
A clap of sound
In the night
Awakes all around
The man who comes
To tap the pane
Has one name
And it is Rain

In the South,
We rarely see
Winter Weather
Like Snow Flurries

But this year,
Winter's made fame.
Below average
is no game.

2 snow days
Have already come.
Are there more?
Where from?

A temperature rise
Would come as a surprise.

Up
Look out the window,
As far as the eye can see.
Look at the beauty
Of the newly risen day.

From way up in the air,
Clouds covering the ocean.
Dawn breaks over the day.
Dim light starts it all over.

Never has such a sight been seen!
Such beauty hidden from the world,
Not because of lack of observation,
But because of the need of sleep!

Looking towards the sky
From 35,000 feet high
There, at the horizon,
I see the edge of the world!

Not as thought in olden days,
Back when the world was flat,
But off towards the New Frontier,
One day, an adventure to be had.

And yet, just above,
A lighter color,
As if a barrier
Keeping space trapped.
