Tomorrow's meaning.
Something you look forward to.
Or yesterday's mask.

Telephone ringing.
Something tells me it is you.
You said we were through.
No, don't think I will answer,
all these calls out of the blue.

Where did your dreams go?
Did they expire over time,
or hide in your mind.

Time will slip away.
On promises made in haste,
precious life we waste.

The night calls to me.
Fireflies outside my window.
The jasmine in bloom.

It's so hard to stand,
firmly on your own two feet.
When you're pushed and shoved,
knocked completely off balance,
by every person you meet.

Independence is.
Not needing anyone's light,
to help find your way.

I've been lost before..
Having no one to find me,
I found inner strength.

Poetry frees you.
You must feel some agony,
to express your pain.

While my back was turned.
You stomped on and crushed my dreams.
While you're living yours.

Photos of good times.
They're untouched by lifes restraints.
The smiles, we embrace.

Think outside the box.
Watch your adventurous side,
collide with your dreams.

Lifes a crazy map.
Getting from point A to B
Without directions .

You just don't get it.
You never say you're sorry.
Even when you're wrong.

I want to extract.
All the love you hoard inside.
Pour it over me.

Dogs are so selfless.
Laugh in the face of danger.
Needing just your praise.

Leave me with anger.
If it's all thats in your heart.
Least I'd know you feel.

Poems, works of art.
Mental pictures they create.
Painted with a pen.

Daylight grips the dawn.
Many opportunities,
wait for you and me.

The numbers are crunched.
But they don't add up to two.
Sum of me and you.

I've shadows inside.
I hesitate to explain.
Happiness I feign

Do dreams have meaning.
Or does fate have a strong say.
Or was it the schnapps.

Life is challenging.
First they give a name to you,
then take it away.
Because your truths don't align.
With what's written on a sign.

It might do you good.
To embrace differences.
I differ from you.

I've walked on eggshells.
For as long as I've known you.
Time to break some yolks.

You could strike a match,
when the light goes from your life.
But that's a quick fix.
You have been my guiding light,
Now please, take some light from me.

Young and young at heart.
Hope there's time for a new start.
Longing plays a part.

I have memories.
Of the faces and the places,
where my past resides.

Writing is vital.
When you have no place to turn.
Like a long lost friend.

Treasure peace of mind.
It could be gone tomorrow.
Or gone forever.

We pass in the halls
It's as if I don't exist.
My name forgotten.
Your arrogance and your looks,
your true face lies behind.

I can't let you go.
Without whispering to you,
our love was so true.
You got me through the bad times,
light in the darkest tunnel.

Words can be caustic.
Burning down into your soul.
Where the scar remains.

Good outweighs the bad
Should we settle for the worst
Human kind offers?

It amazes me.
How you've gotten through this life.
Without common sense.

Endings always come.
Long before we can accept.
What the end will mean.

It is sad to me.
Silly politics will be.
What splits you and me.

Music of today.
Has its roots in yesterday.
Like some words we say.

On my way back home.
I'll pick up some trust for you.
It doesn't come cheap.
You can pay me back with faith.
Doesn't come with interest.

Lovely black and whites.
They're photos that come to life.
Colors of my dreams.

Movies mimic life.
Lives we'd never know to be.
Not like you or me.

Don't throw shade at me.
While talking with your hands full.
You've enough to bear.

I cannot be bought.
You have tried your very best.
My soul not for sale.
Only because he's been caught.
The devil then tries to bail.

You are always there,
when I need a hand to hold.
When I am at my wits end.
When I'm shaking from the cold.
You love the person I am.
I love the same thing about you.
We were once two strangers.
We met out of the blue.
We've been through it all.
Through the good times and the pain.
You're a rose among the weeds.
My shelter from the rain.
I will say I love you.
And that comes right from the heart.
I will swear it In my vows.
Our journey then will start.

Careful with my heart.
It has been battered and bruised,
denied and refused.
I will fire a warning shot,
just to protect what I've got.

Where do you run to.
When you don't hear I'm sorry,
as he breaks your heart.

They look right through me.
With a look of true contempt.
I blow a kiss back.

Life can hurt so much.
Pain is etched into your heart,
by your acid tears.

I write from the heart.
Inner feelings I mix well,
with the tears that start.

Life can feel brand new.
When you brush aside the past,
today Will call to you.
