Have you ever wondered
which hurts the most:
saying something and
wishing you had not,
or saying nothing,
and wishing you had?

I'm an avid reader of books,  many different books
Tolstoys War And Peace took me seven days to read
Lord Of The Rings Trylogy just 3 days
One of those books I've read just once
The other I could almost quote
word
for
word
I read some truly great works of poetry here
Some simple with a message loud and clear
easily understood
Some long but with a rhythmic flow
the sort of poem where you cant let go
Then there is the long drawn out dirge
full of metaphors and unusual words that I don't even understand
I might read it once,  try to understand then file it under done
I just write the simple stuff,  that's what I do best
But, no matter how or what you write its all good.

                           After all, poetry is not a test ~
                      it is an expression of our humanity.

I've been lying
in my bed for
like 20 minutes.

I 'm not thinking
about anything
but at the same time
I'm thinking
about everything.

I'm thinking
about death.

Is it true
that you see
the light
at the end of the tunnel?

Do you have pain
while you're dying?

Do you die like
you have lived?

Do you look
for death?

Or the death
looks for you?

Everything in this live
is so strange,
but the death is stranger.

What does it taste?

Is it true
that all your life
go through your eyes
while you're dying?

Do suicides go
to Heaven?

Is there anything
after death?

What is death?

Sometimes I feel
I can do anything,
and nothing hurts me.

I feel sick.

I've been lying
in my bed for
like 30 minutes.

I keep thinking
in death.

Sometimes I would like
to die, but
sometimes I feel so alive
that I can fly.

I have so much questions
about death.

But I have no answers.

*Sometimes I think,
that I'm already dead.

Mommy, you've nurtured me,
Since the day I was born,
Watched me grow,
And taught me many things I've learned.

In my heart you'll always be,
A hidden treasure,
Just for me, since everything you do,
You do with love and pleasure.

And on this special day,
I'd like to say,
How much you really mean to me,
Because you always find time, even if it's out of your way.

I am my biggest enemy,
I am my best friend.
I push myself of the ground
And criticize my self.

Then I'm the stretched out hand
Who picks me and brushes me off
I say the words that inspire me
Make me cry at first, and then laugh.

No one can take me away
From the person residing within me.
It tells me what to say,
Also the correct way to behave.
It sees what my eyes see,
it understands what I feel.

The truth is, I rule me.
The truth is, I'm not sure if any of the above makes sense.

i wish I could show you
the pictures I took today
on my first hike of spring

they are pretty spring flowers
so fragrant in bloom
lilacs and wildflowers

they tell me, in sweet whispers,
"spring is really, truly, here"
and I feel my winter blues, disappear

I cant say that this heals me
or fills me with joy
but it gives a small tint, of hope

as I watch the birds flitter
from branch to branch
I let my imagination soar.

I climb up to the tippy top of a tree.
and wait. after all is still,
nature resumes.

and I watch. and it gives me
hope.
and faith.

that life will go on.
even when I don't really want it too.
its springtime again. which means my normal, inner darkness occasionally, cracks. and lets in some, mostly unwelcome light.
