A person can
Be smiling on the
Outside and
Crying on the inside
So be nice
To everyone
You meet
Whether they deserve
It or not
You never know
What a hard life
They could be
Going through at home

When I write my poetry
I curl up on the couch
With a cup of hot coffee
And my computer
Upon my lap
© SilentCry

I’m sitting here
Watching the droplets
Of water fall from
The kitchen sink’s faucet
Dripping and dripping
In perfect beads of liquid

What is love to you?
Love has been my death
© SilentCry

I watched in silence
As the flames flickered
On the candle’s wick
Dripping hot melting wax*

I am lonely
And it’s all because
I am waiting for you
© SilentCry

The closer I get to my destination
The further away it all seems
The more I reach out for reality
The deeper I fall into my dreams

My dreams are like grains of sand
They blow away on the breeze
My heart is broken in shattered pieces
My happiness all too quickly leaves

But then my dreams run into you
A single dune on my life's beach
Where they pile up in wonder
Love just within reach

I embrace the love freely given
Into the sky I release my pain
My dreams finally come true
Showering blessings with falling rain
