Isn’t she beautiful?
Just look at how she glows,
But yet she’s lonely,
If only he knows.

When he is up,
She’s always away,
When he is down,
She brightens our day.

But there has been times,
When he would visit her,
Even for a few minutes,
They were together.

It started with a wish,

A wish of a kiss,

A kiss from the heart,

From the heart it starts.

It starts this love,

This love from above,

From above we can see,

We can see our destiny,

Our destiny of being together,

Being together always and forever.

The name of a doubter,
How ironic in some ways.
Others don’t even bother,
Mainly on what he says.
Anything doesn’t matter,
So long as he lives his days.

I may be over my head,
But it’s so cliche,
“Don’t wait for the storm to pass,
Learn to dance in the rain.”

It’s like people have no new idea,
But I have something say,
Just wait, the storm will pass,
And there will be a brighter day.

Annoying,
Just one of the ways to describe you,
Don’t get me wrong,
I’m just telling the truth.

You can also be funny or cute,
Or maybe even nice,
Well that’s just how I see it,
Don’t blame me, I’m just a guy.

Let’s not get off topic,
Im here to write about a girl,
A girl who’s fierce and joyful,
Someone who can rock anyone’s world.

The first time I met you,
I knew you were going to be a problem,
You just kept on talking and talking,
And sounded like you had your own anthem.

Not only were you a problem,
You were once trouble too,
Now she became best friends with this other girl,
Double trouble, now were doomed!

But later I knew something has changed,
You grew up a little and became more mature,
That made me happy,
You were growing up to something pure.

I’m just happy to be a part of it,
Seeing you grow,
It gives me joy inside,
To be someone you know.

Well this poem is to you,
Miss “I love soccer and friends,”
And “Just ask to know more about me,”
I hate you, but you’re friends with Jordyn.

You guys have been together,
For 35 years,
So much has changed,
With lots of Laughter and tears.

You guys have struggled,
You guys have persevered,
As your children,
We had this growing fear.

That we could never satisfy,
That our goals were unclear,
But you guys guided us through,
As our role models through all these years.

And now another milestone,
35 years in the making,
Of love and happiness,
And we are here celebrating.

All apart,
But yet together in your hearts,
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

I have something to say,
But I keep on holding back,
It’s nothing wrong or offensive,
It’s just a slight courage I lack.

I have this feeling I’ve been keeping away,
Sometimes I feel like I have to scream,
But I don’t know how to do it,
I just can’t decipher what these feelings mean.

Now I’m running out of options,
And things aren’t going our way,
It’s not you but rather me,
I just don’t love you anymore, babe.

The world continued,
And left nothing of me,
No one realized,
How I was to be.

—Thomas James Written on February 19, 2012

I’ll let you go,
So I can catch you again.
I want you to know,
I’m here as your friend.

I’ll be here everyday,
Waiting for you.
Cuz’ I don’t know what to say,
Or what to do.

I’m lost in a thought,
Not of you or us.
But instead lost,
Of what it was.

Why did I even care?
You were never there.
I loved you,
But you never followed through.

—Thomas James Written on August 21, 2011

I wish I was famous,
Instead of being shameless.

I wish I was a star,
With an awesome car.

I wish I could fly,
So I can touch the sky.

I wish to be,
Something greater than me.

But I don’t have fame,
Not even a little flame.

I’m no cosmic matter,
Unless it meant fatter?

I can’t fly,
I’m barely even five-five.

So I wish to be,
More of a real me.

Today I overheard an old man say,
“Let your imaginations free,”
It made me smile and think,
Of my worst enemy, Poetry.

A rainbow that stretches far and wide,
A river that flows through and through,
An ocean that’s vast and deep,
Are all ways to describe my love for you.

—Thomas James Written on October 20, 2011

Let me be that guy,
You know,
The one that will,
And forever be by your side.

Let me make you my girl,
You know,
The one that has,
And forever will rock my world.

Let us make this vow,
You know,
To love each other,
Forever and now.
