You turned around and asked me
Why I couldn't sleep

But how am I supposed to tell you
The million thoughts that goes through my head
every time I try to sleep

Don't ask me
what kinds of
plans
I have.
Sometime,
I don't even know
what I'm doing
right now!
Plans for next week? Let's just live up to there and then I'll tell you.

There is something that does not have time to describe by word
When we are both
Only I can ask
Could you know the answer?
Night became a witness
We're both between words
The unspoken one
Expect time to bring courage
To come bring answers
Could we have a chance
Say a promise will not separate forever?
I wish i could express my feeling.

KNOCK

And when you pray
- ask from your heart.

And when you pray
- seek from your soul.

And when you pray
- sniff around without ceasingĀ 
through your tears
to find the doors
to brand new frontiers
that He has preparedĀ 
for you, His pioneers.

And then
you're ready
to knock.
What Jesus said
It is hard to tell everyone that needs to know the same thing at the same time. Without sharing it with those that might not need to know. Follow along as I take you on a short ride
I care for many. I am friends with few maybe just two. I trust none but my siblings. I would give my last if I thought that you not only needed it but deserved it. We have all had the same opportunities in life. With your extra, you drink, drug and ***. With mine I give to my children. I don't ask you for anything. We don't talk yet you feel comfortable opening your mouth to ask me for something. How dare you. I use to try to understand the thinking of everyone. I thought to myself, how can I help you if I don't understand you. I now understand that you are all about you. Uncaring, greedy and selfish. I am none of those, but I also owe you none of me. This journey has helped me to see that I owe you nothing. Does it hurt me not to help you? Yes! But for the love of my self, I will not. We all need someone sometime. But using people is not the answer. If it is not my sibling, children or real friend...don't ask for nothing! If you desire for things to change you need to change. Build trust, be there just to be there. Not because you have needs. I can't deal with over-grown people throwing their needs on me!
My heart is large but I am not here for you to use.

If I had a thousand wishes,
I would only ask for you.

Let me ask--
what is worthy of being untitled?

What is the poem or story with so much meaning that it cannot be labeled?

Is my work worthy of being without a title?

Is this poem that meaningful?

Will a title spoil the emotion?

-------------------------------------------------------­--------------------------------------

When we see something untitled, there always seems to be a reoccurring sense of intrigue surrounding it.

I wonder if you'll be intrigued when you read this.

----------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------------

If I filled this page up with hyphens and forward slashes, would it still be intriguing?

You could say yes, since there could be a secret meaning or code within the longer and shorter lines.

But what if I told you there was no meaning to any of this?

What if everything you're reading in this poem is nonsense?

Would there be any way to know?

You might argue that you could ask me.

But what if there is no answer?

--------------------------------------------------------­-------------------------------------

Now I wonder why you're still interpreting these words.

I hold nothing against you...

I just don't see the point.

I texted my old friend,
To see if she wanted to meet.
She was happy to hear from me,
And she did want to meet.
So sometimes you need to scrape your courage together,
And just do it.

Love is independence
To all but as one
Self love as dependent
On everyone but none

Freedom as a choice
To fly but alone
Attached to a voice
But only to their own

Let go of the finished
To be begin at the start
Negativity diminished
To open your heart

A mission to help
Our purpose to serve
Together as one
Help those that deserve

A uniqueness amongst many
Its Silence in the storm
The zero in twenty
It's love but pure form

Driven to the edge
To find only more
Unaware of the pledge
To miss but to score

A guess in the question
The path but unseen
A mind of expression
The bridge inbetween

To know only tolerance
To go but to stop
The answer in ignorance
To jump but to flop

A child of innocence
The cold to their hot
To notice the difference
To guess but to not

Pushing the boundaries
To the point they appear
Exercising the options
Dressed in passion
Without fear

The cause the direction
As the purpose becomes clear
Conceive through connection
The soul
Of the sphere

The lesson to grow
As to be as but one
Our seed but to sow
As individuals
But none
