if i ever let it get too quiet
you haunt me.
you can consume my head,
making sleep i dread
because you taunt me
in my dreams
each night.

A thousand cats roamed 'round the house
now since her children left.
She fed them all three times a day
and never would forget.
She liked having the company
while everyone was gone.
They were in every room and porch
and even in her lawn.
She sung to them and dressed them up
like little baby dolls,
and watched as tiny kittens
licked off milk from tiny paws.
She loved them more than anything
in the entire world.
At night, she would lay next to them
in a ball so tightly curled.
Definitely not my usual type of poem since this one is pretty cutesy.

we're in lawn chairs
drinking raspberry tea
as the light shines
on the orange trees

it's springtime now
and the birds squawk
as the sun is setting
on the Florida swamp

what a nice view this is
as our laughter carries
throughout the evening
feeling light and airy

soon the darkness comes
and it brings some cold
but our jokes and smiles
will never get old

Most poems are about heartbreak-
the kind where your heart is broken.
But what about those times
when it is you who does the breaking?

I'm not trying to be a *****, I swear,
it's better to hurt you now than later.
But how can I not lie to myself
AND stop your heart from aching?

There's no other choice that I can see-
breaking your heart is what I'll have to do.
I pray that you'll forgive eventually,
and find your true love in the making.

i fell in love with you
under the Friday night lights
as you stroked my hair
and made everything alright

you fell in love with me
on a Sunday in the morning
we talked all through the night
about our loves and our worries

we climbed higher that we could alone
to look upon the world below
but then we fell in a quick free fall
the pain on our faces still shows

soon the sweetness turned to poison
the smiles washed away in tears
our hearts were broken open
and we filled them up with fears

but I’m still glad that I loved you
it’s better for us that way
for us, to have loved and lost,
than never loved at all is okay

Behind your eyes
used to be a spark
a light

They reassured
and made everything
alright

But now when I glance
I see a star
-less night

An urge to hate
and a want
to fight

I don't want to look
but I can't help it
I might

I am free
without a trace or a mark.
I've boxed up everything
to leave in the dark.

I am free
to grow in the light.
Nothing holds me back now-
I can fight any fight.

I am free
from you stopping me.
I will take on the world
to be all I can be.

I am free
to do what I want.
Although free in my life,
there's still dreams you can haunt.
