There's a boy I know and love.
He's near and far and kind.
He's all I've ever dreamed of.
There's a boy who's on my mind.

His eyes are a deep brounette.
His hair; a soft whisper.
I'm glad the day we met,
T'was the day my heart grew bigger.

I was alone, lost, and forlorn.
Then he came along
And without a shout or warn...
He righted all the wrongs.

He's here close by my side
Each and everyday.
I have a boy who's on my mind.
He's changed my life in every way.
:)

Dear Uncle Lee. It's been years and years since I've seen your face.
In fact, I barely remember it. I miss you.
Why didn't I get to know you?
Why didn't you stay here?
I know it wasn't your choice to die, but it really makes me sad.
We could've had so many wonderful memories together as big, happy family.
Do you miss us down here? Cuz we sure miss you.
Do you come to visit? Cuz I feel things that seem like you.
I miss you, Uncle Lee. I wish you were here to see me grow up.
I love you, Uncle Lee. And I know Dad does, too.
Goodbye.

i don't like blue eyes on my guys
but his hold shards of beautiful ice

i don't like short hair either
but his is soft as my horse's fur

his body is smooth, but well-toned
and in the proper places

his laughter make me smile with every breath
his arms are so so strong, but the most gentle

i love his back and shoulders and neck;
as odd, as that may sound.

i love his voice and the way he talks to me
i love his legs and the way he wraps them around me

i like everything about this new kid
i hope he likes everything about me.
i hope this goes somewhere.
i don't like this poem...but i don't want to get rid of it. lame.

Your words astound me
Not what you say, but how you say them
So earnestly
So peacefully, but with confidence
I trust you

Nothing sounds as right as when you say my name
When we’re lost, but found together
We are beings of contradictions, don’t you see?
In and out all at once, but feeling and sensing atoms in the air.

When the skies come down I’ll be here for you
I’ll shield you from the pain and sacrifice myself
If only to save you. If only you.

You don't know how much you mean to me.
You are strong and I am not.

But alas, I see your weakness as I begin to strengthen.
I see your chains while my bonds are broken.

I feel your sadness and I pray to help
But what good is prayer for an agnostic?

Oh, boy. I need you every day whether we talk or not.
You keep me sane and help me to make good choices.
Although, my choices as of late have not been ideal.

People make mistakes.
Learn from mine.
Live a little
Love a little.
Relax.

Life is good.
Especially when you have a friend by your side.
friend :)

I love you so much.
But I don’t know exactly who you are
A combination of all my favorite people!
Or a question of who I truly want.

Your eyes are so beautiful
Your body is perfect.
Your hair; as soft as the breeze
Your kisses relax me.

Your gentle laughter brightens my day
Your obnoxious laughter makes me giggle; I know it’s just you now.

Your arms are strong enough to hold me forever.
Your touch is gentle enough to put me to sleep.

When I hear your voice, I fall in love all over again
You don’t realize how much I need you.
I need you like a bird needs wings or a tree needs roots.
Sure, birds can walk, but it’s just not the same.
Yes, trees can lie down; but can’t you see they’re dead?

I’ll never stray from you.
I’ll stay near as long as you’ll have me.
I’ll be here as long as you need me; if you need me at all.
You, though, I feel like you don’t need me.
I feel like you need someone, but it’s not me.
I wish it could be me. I don’t know how to make that happen.

Your advice gets through to my core.
I listen, I truly do.
The sincerity in your voice astounds me
You really are a nice person; you mean no harm.

I would do anything for you.
Anything at all.
You have been with me through thick and thin no matter what.
You are my best friend.
You are my lover.
You are my therapist and my conscience.
You are my co-workers and my family.
I love you so much.
this really is a combination of all my favorite people :)

The truest love is that of an innocent heart
Now I'm older and not so pure.
It makes me sad, but we all get smart
Now I'm older and not so sure...

As time goes by I wonder if I'll love again
Now I'm older and I fear the feeling.
I see these boys and girls and men...
Now I'm older and I know I'm healing.

A glance here, a touch there, and a spark of passion
Now I'm older and I enjoy the rush.
A kiss, a hand, a leg in bitter fashion
Now I'm older and called a lush...

But are they right? 'Cause I think not
Now I'm older and know the world
But I'm still young if you forgot...
Now I'm older and still too wild.

Tame me; I dare you.
i'm older, but still a child.
