We Learn

Step by step,
We make a plan.

Hand in hand,
We learn what we can.

Body to body,
We learn to hug.

Heart to heart,
We learn to love.

Walk to skip,
We learn to flirt.

Tear to tear,
We learn what hurts.

Head to head,
We confess what we've done.

Eye to eye,
We merge as one.

Lip to lip,
We learn to kiss.

Head to mind,
We learn what's bliss.

What Is A Dream?

Is it a wish deep within our hearts
or is it something more?
something less?

Or better yet,
is it just a random thought,
floating through our minds,
daring to be caught?

Maybe its anything you want it to be,
a certain comfort always there,
and when the time is right,
it is ready for you to share.

What is a dream?

The Mess Inside Of Me

Nobody knows the real me,
And if they did,
I would be surrounded by pity,
’Cause no one has seen,
The mess inside of me.
I can’t keep it in much longer,
But it hurts so much to remember,
If I don’t get it out soon,
I will surely break.
The mess inside of me,
Wants to be cleaned up,
And the only way to do that,
Is to get my story out in the open.
But to do that,
Would drag out painful memories,
Which I am not yet ready to face,
So won’t you look into my eyes,
And see the mess inside of me?
I need your help,
Because this mess,
Is to much for me,
To bear alone and in silence.

My Writing

I dance with my pen
across the page of this paper
singing the words like no one.

My pen is my instrument
I orchestrate the music
that is a song of poetry.

I paint words of silence
my pen is my brush
and I create.

Think Positive

Some can say that life is great,
For others life is what they hate.
They don’t like it much at all,
They think others don’t care when they fall.

Who’s to say that they’re not correct?
Life is never what you’d expect.
Some people have nothing and others too much,
Some will break down with every touch.

Few are thankful and many over-look,
The simple path in life they took.
They expect the best and come out wrong,
Attention is short and days run long.

Not all people are the same,
There are those who are responsible,
And those who blame.

A simple perspective can change a thought,
Either something you thought of,
Or something you’ve been taught.

People just think they can’t do a thing,
But if you put your mind to it,
You can accomplish anything.

In darkest of thoughts think to yourself,
I feel the same as someone else.
Millions of people,
At least two can relate,
You can always find someone to share a debate.

Life doesn’t last long,
So love it while you can,
Because you never know when your hour glass will run out of sand.

Don't

Don’t say “Hello”,
Because I’ve been here all along.

Don’t ask where I am,
Because I’m always in your heart.

Don’t give up,
Because you just might win.

Don’t be afraid,
Because fear is acknowledged.

Don’t say “Good-bye”,
Only “I love you.”

Beautiful Horror

Why can't I hide?

Why wont it leave?

This feeling so deadly keeps engulfing me

Stronger than anything I've felt before

I'm trapped in this beautiful horror

I pray to God that it works out

He says it will but I still have my doubts

So many people before have been crushed

By the beautiful horror we call love.
