Today I take pause
For all the people who died
Always remember

Oh puppy in the park
Making a ferocious
Bark
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out
Chasing your shadow
Tripping on your paws
Making a ferocious
Bark
Like a tiger

Waiting to get out
Chasing Butterflies
Catching flies
Making a ferocious
Bark
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out
Oh we like the puppy
Chasing shadows
And tripping on our feet
Making a ferocious
Cry
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out
Chasing butterflies
Swatting flies
Making a ferocious
Cry
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out

I wander for words
Through hallways of
Humanity
Where words are
Easily found
And sadly displaced
A dictionary cannot
Describe
But perhaps feelings
Can

Sometimes I sit, stare
Empty paper before me
Waiting to be used

I tend to think
Of you
Not through Flashy
Clothes
Perfumed air about
You
Polished nails
Painted cheeks
Instead I think
Of you
Through words

Most times I don't  know
The words just pop through my head
I just write them down

You're a poem
Within a poem
Sometimes hidden
Deep within
Other times
Ready to
Explode
Ready to share
Ready to keep
To hold deep
Inside
Or release
To the Universe
Only time can
Tell
When to
