There's
Nothing
That can lift
One's spirit like
A message, email, or call
From a friend, out of the blue
No matter how far away they are in
The world: Germany, Philippines, Nigeria,
Michigan, England, North Carolina, Georgia,
Or next door
And many more
It makes one feel like a child opening gifts on Christmas morn

Petal pie
Waxing and waning
Faxing and feigning
        Flexing and texting
Tweeting is fleeting
        Facebooking onlooking
Hello Poetry Goodbye monotony!
Just a silly stream of consciousness! ***

He instills the dream in me
The goal is all i see
He plants and grows the seed
I water the seed
He keeps the seed alive and growing in me
The Dream is growing in me
At night i close my eyes and all I see is dreams
I reach for the dream and he touches me
He makes the dream come alive
So i know it's meant to be
He takes off the blinders and sets the dream in front of me
and says "My child, it's up to you what to do with the dream that's in front of you"
My child walk through, I am with you
I am the Dreambuilder
It's up to you to chose the dream that's before you
Open the door and walk through to your dream
I made it for you because I love you
reach for the dream my child and you will reach for me
This is an older poem of mine it was published in a poetry anthology book by The international library of poetry , I believe it was called: The best poems and poets of 2002. I hope you enjoy the poem!

O How confuse that I am, why do you want me to stay single.
I struggle because others get to be married but I am stuck being alone.
So tell me why do I have to suffer while others get to be married.
Am I not good enough to get married and have a real life with someone.
Speak to me O God, I am failing, it is like a struggle between us.
If only you would speak to my heart and let me know why I have to stay single.
At least explain why others get to be married but I have to stay single.
