Life's a beach
And we are,
24 hour turtles
Taking one step,
Every minute
Ever constant
Ever flowing,
We may deviate
But we always move forward,
Sometimes stuck
As if in a whale
Beached at the shore,
But always surely we seek the light
Venturing out into the ocean,
Big and wide as our hopes
Paddles in our plans,
Sometimes the tides we'll fight
And sometimes the currents we'll follow,
There will be those who combat us
And there will be those who'll tag along,
But together you and I
We've got much to explore,
We'll always have the stars to guide us
Until we reach the end,
Of our journey, and become
Guiding lights ourselves...

Three little words
Can change your life.
Give way to happiness
From feelings of strife.

Keep you warm
On extremely cold nights.
Make you feel safe
During times of fright.

My life has changed
With those tiny words.
My life is anew
With feelings that stirred.

With you in my life.
I will never run
From feelings of love
Because you are the one

If you ever asked me what I thought of you
I would tell you
I would tell you I’m obsessed with you
I dream about you every night
And every day
I write poems about you
I post them online
And hope that someone will like them
So I’ll feel less like a loser
I would say it like it was a joke
Dripping with sarcasm
‘Cause sometimes the best lie is the truth

A precariously warm night
I held my breath in your room with all my might
It grew later and our bodies more tired
We laid side by side
You in my arms and I in yours
Your arms were all I felt
You were breathing ever so lightly
compared to my nervous breath and beat
These were the only sounds I could hear
My face was nestled in your hair
It's sweet essence was all I could smell
I tasted my breath getting sour with sleep
Your eyes were closed and so were mine
Mine were closed for different reasons
Your eyes were closed for sleep
Mine were closed for the memory to keep

i write because it makes the word seem right
everything makes sense through words
ive been one to shape and scrap out all the bad
my mind is clear no more fear
all i want is to get out live the moment and write about it
my senses and feeling released hoping my readers end up pleased
i may not be a favorite but ill do right by your side
im always open with nothing to hide
ive done wrong not living with guilt
my eyes kind and caring with lips full of truth
im not looking away but focused on my path
im going towards what i want and know what i need
doing me and my greed not selfish but doin my thing

i do my best to not hurt others
but they hurt you and those who matter most
you commit to someone yu dont love
mistake lust as love
stay with someone you dont trust
you workout but eat bad
you are sad but happy with misery
cheating because you think its right
arguin to make the wrong right
nothing is what it appears
i dont get it i wish i could understand
but you dont care how i feel or what i think
id rather get it right then feel all is wrong
