seeking fulfillment
         in dreams travel far
    yet bless being present
                complete where we are
Oh how I've missed you for such a long time,
How I long for those moments when you were all mine.
I will never forget your beauty and grace,
Or the close ups I had of your exquisite face.
As I went to kiss you on your rose petal lips,
I'm sure that my heart made no less than two skips.
Your beauty is such that there aren't enough words,
So even to try seems almost absurd.
We have been parted for quite a few years,
But when I remember you darling I still shed my tears.
My heart will never completely mend,
And you will always be with me right to the end.
When we parted that terrible day,
I begged and begged you to stay.
But you had to leave as we'd grown apart,
And when you went you took a big chunk of my heart.
Take care of that heart, I'll tell you why...
Because my love for you will never die.
i always thought that this meant something more,
something with meaning i couldnt ignore,
the hearts unfold,
meanings erode,
skin withered away,
our souls left to stay,
lost in a fire,
our lives on a single wire,
loveless,
dancing in a gruesome fight,
crosses turned,
people to be burned,
as the people cry,
they know its time to die,
for the grim reaper
is the soul keeper.
There is no calm after the storm.
Just silence on the outside

Anger, frustration, sadness inside.
And there ain't nothing you can say to fix it.

That's the "calm"
just eatin' you up on the inside
The Second Time Around

Today I met an old friend
That I worked with long ago
She never really knew the me
That I wanted her to know

We had dinner and we talked
And we spoke about the past
I wondered if she knew back then
Of the feelings that I had

I always liked this lady
But back then I couldn't ask
We both had others we were with
So I let those feelings pass

This time there is a difference
For we're both single now
So I asked her on a second date
A night out on the town

Now I think I like this lady
And I'm glad I asked her out
Who knows, maybe more then friends
The second time around

Self explanatory..lol
Today

Today I do this just for me
I start to care for what I need
Listen to what I feel inside
And allow myself a better life

Today I decide to change my mind
Leave old habits far behind
Realize what was plain to see
That we were never meant to be

Today I let go the past
Find new love and make it last
Allow my soul to be renewed
And give my heart to someone new

Today move forward and never back
I embrace the future and leave the past
The memory of you I now let go
Today I wanted you to know
Today

Test Of Time

There is a feeling of excitement
As we start a brand new love
Not knowing what the other feels
And not wanting to mess up

So I try to show my best side
In a hope that they will see
The person that I really am
Not just the outer me

It takes some time to understand
What a person's really like
To see if what they are inside
Is more then meets the eye

That excitement of that someone new
Over time will fade away
It is only then that we will know
If the love was meant to stay

So I will not rush to fall in love
Or to call that person mine
For only then will true love grow
And stand the test of of time

I Saw Perfect

Today I looked in
And I saw a perfect face
A smile that lit up the room
When others looked your way

There was this calm about you
As you looked around the room
Knowing just what you want
And who is right for you

You looked my way and smiled
And I wondered who you saw
Not realizing it was me
That you searched for all along

I felt this calming peace within
As your eyes peirced my soul
I saw the inner beauty
That I knew was there to hold

That perfect person in the room
Was there for all to see
For that perfect face that I saw
Was in a mirror in front of me

This poem is about finding yourself first. Seeing yourself differently and knowing that the way you see yourself, so will others. Believe that what you have to offer is what others want and others will want what you have to offer. (Wait I see a future poem in those last few words...lol)
