Take the dreams I once voiced so fondly
Take them and smash them to dust
Take those moments my heart was pounding
Take them for I know you must

Sweep them under the rug and forget them
Sweep them away without a thought
Sweep them so far I won't be tempted
Sweep them away like you were taught

The beauty of a woman
is in the poems she's wrote,
the dreams she's weaved
and all the stories she's told.

The beauty of a woman
is in the adventures she's taken,
the lives she's touched
and all the minds she's awakened.

The beauty of a woman
is in the caring she gives,
the sincerity in her laughter,
and the passion in her griefs.

It's not the expensive clothes she owns,
her body size, the diamonds she's worn.
Measure not the beauty of woman in gold,
for the beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.
Dedicated to all women out there with an amazing mind and a beautiful soul. We are the gift of nature, soft enough to touch the core of others and strong enough to protect that and those important to us. I love you all. Believe in yourself and the world will believe in your power.

I'm honored to have it as the daily poem.

Our love is our sin
hand in hand
It's where their hate begins
Something pure they don't want to understand

Stab me, make me bleed
but my love is my right
**** me, forget me
but my love is my fight

Beat me and bruise me
Preach me my indiscretion
Scream I'm going the wrong way
I've fallen into the wrong direction  

Tell me you need to save me
Life would be better if I saw through your eyes
But I don't want this life
If I'm living through your lies

Burn me, cage me
But this love is right
Hate me, starve me
But I will fight
I saw the saddest video on homophobia, and when I read the comments they brought me to tears. People treat gays like a disease. Almost as if they think there will be a vaccine that will "fix" them. In my opinion there is nothing to fix, and their love and affection towards one another is just as beautiful as anyone else's.

By tomorrow we'll be turned to sand
Just the outline of our out stretched hand

By tomorrow we'll be devoured by obsolete
Out of date and forgotten with no competition to compete

By tomorrow we'll be swimming in our hopes and dreams
Unaware, without a care, and spiraling down without a means

Don't bring tomorrow

I sit within these walls,
Darkness swallowing us whole
The night invading the room
Making this world feel microscopic

Moonlight trickles in through the curtains
The ceiling fan spinning on high
And memories are flooding my brain
Fleeting moments I can't deny existed

A pain breaking it's way back into my mind
A sadness that brings me down sinking me under
The unfortunate second that I become aware
Of every broken piece of you and me

Left inside of this outer shell of a human body
Yet the only thing I know is....
This is a night for poetry

All these ideas swarming my head,
but my pen is playing dead
Writers block at it's finest lately -_-

Dust settles inside my veins,
dirt lingers inside my heart
Broken bones lead to shame
sharp pieces rip me apart
