TO the house that once was
a mansion that towered
above all the rest
I beg of thee to house
my family and myself.

Let you walls be
the arms that
hold us
closer

Let your roof come
up above us
shield us
always

Don't let down your shield
or the warriors
thunder and lighting
shall have their way with us

Don't let your shingles
lose their compactness
for fear that the hail
will come along to play.

Please Please House
I beg of thee today
keep this family
safe
dry
warm.

Seasons go by and leaves change color
Lime, maroon, golden, brown, black
And there are suddenly no leaves.
Time passes and every waking moment I think
of the one guy that makes my day
he may be off on a business trip somewhere
but to my heart he is right next to me
staring into the sky where there are many stars
and I come out of this fantasy to wonder
If he sees these same stars
Does he see the full moon hidden behind the clouds?
Does he dream of the day he is back holding me in his arms?
Do I appear in his sporadic thoughts
as he stares at his cup of coffee in the morning?
Only time will tell if he’ll ever return.
He Is my strong evergreen pine,
my gentle snowfall.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The door goes….

When the darkness engulfs  you and you can’t  find a way out  because you’re full of doubt…

The door  that you can’t see or touch because of the lack of light…

It is in these times that one must look in the light of their life…

The people who love, who care, the ones that are true…

The thoughts wondering in swirls around my head have, been ones of ruffled hair..

Of memories and times that they’ve been there…

The one thought that comes to my head…

The ones of you, and the times we played…

It is the times we played that we grew to know each other…

And with that thought the darkness was all gone…

It was our spark that made us go right out that dark door..

A spark that I feel will last an eternity and forever…

My lover pushes me away with the belief that I don’t know….

I wonder why it has to be this way but I move along for their sake…

Oh but to move along is so difficult because I cant comprehend their actions…

I plead and hope to understand but I still cant comprehend….

All I need to know is that they know I trust them with all my heart…

And will never fail them no matter what comes this way…

But what comes this way is danger and warning signs that my heart will be broken…

But I continue despite the danger for I will always be there no matter the price…

Even though the price may cost the ultimate risk…

I will stand by their side because that’s who I am, that’s what I promised…

And my promises I will never break for if I do I will lose the person I am….

And that is not a risk worth taking, to lose yourself over something so small…

But logic is beyond my keeping promise for now that is all I hold on to…

It is all I know, for now I will focus only to fulfill my side….

For I know now that what’s to come can never really be in a fortune…

Its in all the little things that make us up….

The laughs, the smiles, the kisses and the hugs that’s what makes us….

Life’s little moments that make it worth living…

Just to know that they’re there for me is but one of the many blessings….

I cherish them for eternity and forever, as long as the meaning may last…

Treasuring the path before me as i walk

makes all the pain feel all the less.

Meeting new faces and going new places

makes all the pain feel all the less.

Allowing my mind to wander around solo

makes all the pain feel all the lees.

The sunrise i stare at makes me find hope

The Moon as i gaze across the ocean reminds me

of her beauty. It takes me across the entire galaxy

and makes me feel all the better.

It makes me feel alive and not confused.

It reminds me that I too feel and am

allowed to shed a tear or two.

The memories float along as i try to

forgive and forget and as i finally push them down

away for all eternity i shed one final tear as the

chapter ends in sadness that is only understood

to be true happiness.

Roses have thorns like the pain in my heart…
But they have soft petals like the light that comes in through the window in the early morning…
The blood red color of the petals fills my heart with blue blood cells needing replenishment…
But the soft feel reminds me of the time I caught her eyes and she caught mine….
The thought of falling again brings the bittersweet memories to my mind in a whirlwind of petals floating across the sky….
As I spin with the petals I think of the times I held you close and landed a gentle kiss on your forehead…
And the time I felt my face burn after the words of snakes slipped from my tongue…
The fluttering petals swallow me with the light feeling of love…
This light feeling brings me in a full circle again and I feel like I’m going to be sick…
And then it passes as the crimson petals continue on their way to another couple…
To create moments full of despair and sadness for those who have betrayed the other like…
The thorns on a rose who betray the beauty of the thing….

He wander in the middle of the road with rain and wind in his face

With the hope that the next though isn’t suicidal.

He thinks and walks and thinks and walks.

He tries to see a way out of this endless circle but he can’t think of a way out.

This scar is one only time will heal

and yet Another chapter has gone and passed and

yet he refused to listen to the Morals it presented him.

It’s a never ending story and now he is ready for The next chapter.

The one that will conclude this book….

This new chapter begins with erasing her from my memory.

Going back To the way it once was.

Living in ignorance once again.

Back when it once

Was simple and when he didn’t force himself to be different.

Even as far back As adolescent even elementary.

For now he will bid farewell to the memories

Of a chapter long ago ended and

when one day he’s healed with the passing of time

he will live with her as a friend.

As for the time being he is but a stranger

That was in her life and tried to take her heart.
