father
an misunderstood phenomenon
a role forced him by nature
to be caretaker
never tired, taking responsibility of children's
though daughters alone understood the real meaning
Seeing a responsible father with few children's was like
One River fills many wells....

my first crush committed suicide.
i remember the hurt at a young age
from chasing him around his living room
begging him for a kiss.
from my young age i knew i wanted him
in my life forever.
through his weaves and gagging
running around the furniture and up the stairs,
losing him sounded foreign then
and having lost him now, still feels the same.
our fathers drank and our mothers giggled
born three months apart
our future planned together
both saying "i do"
uniting us all together.
life flew on by
us both fighting with ourselves
and downing the bottles underneath the bed
loaded and silenced
family portraits painted in red
long life memories all put to rest.
only one made it out alive
but it's hard to breathe
out of us how was it me
and you in a little box
where a diamond ring should be.
my mind keeps wondering
when will i stop chasing you
then my heart replays
every time you turned a corner
you looked over your shoulder
and how you smiled at me.
i miss you
My favorite time to love is at night.

When I turn my head to see my

lover's face illuminated by the moonlight coming through our

window.

My eyes soften and my heart melts, much like his tired

mind leaking out his dreams all over his pillow.

I caress his soft lips

and run his baby smooth Black hair through my finger tips, as I hope

this moment I'm having never slips away …..
I write this for you.
It's not much but it's what I do.
I'll comfort you when you are feeling blue.
Brother, I will always love you.
Be here because it's what sisters do.
Take you places where you want to go and show you what life is about.
Fill up your head and heart when you are in doubt.
Hold you up when you are down.
I'll be there to turn your frown upside down.
I'll kiss your cheek and hold you tight even when you put up that "I'm too cool for this fight".
You are my strength and love of my life.
Without your Studley charm I wouldn't be complete.
Don't worry I'll keep this poem discreet.
Brother you warm my heart and watching you grow puts tears in my eyes.
So much fun with you has made the years fly by.
My ride and die taco bell buddy.
Inside jokes that no one would else find
funny.
Don't forget you owe me money.
Love your one and only *****.

If I could turn back time
I would hit Backspace all day,
Id put on Caps Lock
and SHOUT what I say.

I'd use the whole Alphabet
To tell you hello,
Press seven Numbers
Til you picked up the phone.

I'd Tab through the comments
I didn't want to hear,
And use the Arrow Keys
To drag your body near.

I would Delete the harsh words
I didn't mean to speak,
And Insert the "I love yous"
I before couldn't leak.

I would use Ctrl to
Keep reigns over my heart,
And I would Escape lies
That tore us apart.

I'd Print out your photo
And kiss it goodnight,
Use the Calculator
To check that we were right.

I'd Paint you a picture
of us, you and me,
Then I'd hit Enter
Just so you would see.

Those are the things
I would do in my strife,
If only Backspace
worked in real life.
This is the first poem (that I have a copy of) i wrote that I actually thought was good. I was in seventh grade, twelve years old, and I wrote it for a newspaper competition. I knew it was really great but I didn't think I would beat all other applicants in the state in my age group. So you can imagine my surprise I'm sure when I DID win! That is the first time I was proud of my writing. So this one has a lot of special sentimental value. Thanks for reading.
