Photographic Memories

I went through all our old photographs

memories made over thirteen years

Pictures worth a million words

that bring my soul to tears.

I study each one carefully

replaying the memories in my mind

looking for clues of what the future would hold

and the heartache it would leave behind

Smiling children, visiting new places

a canoe trip, a wedding, the park

How could we have known that summer day at the Lake

how quickly our bright lives would turn dark

Birthday smiles and Christmas mornings

Putt Putt golf and a day at the beach

So carefree and not knowing how soon

happiness would be out of our reach

Our passage through life captured on paper

If not for the photos would soon disappear

Fade out of our minds like the love in our hearts

bittersweetly remembered through the years.

I Hate To Cry

"I'm not scared of anything"

I wish my lie was true.

I don't want help,

"I don't need anything from you!"

I hate when I cry.

I hate when I'm scared.

My life is going by

I can't feel anything, anywhere.

I'm sad and depressed

I'm weak an abused.

I'm told I'm bad.

I just don't know what to do.

"I don't want your help"

But I don't want to cry.

"Leave me here"

"Just say good-bye!"

"So your gone....?"

"Good riddance" I say!

I guess I'm going to cry for

Just one more day!

Water Droplets

So much depends upon the little water droplets

falling from your big brown eyes

about to run down your rosy red cheeks

Coming from somewhere lying deep down inside your heart

Yet in the end all they are and will ever be

are little water droplets

running down your rosy red cheeks

My inner Child

Looking through the window

There is a small child

Sitting with his pillow

He has been there for a while

He is nervous about the room

And the place where he stands

His smile turns to gloom

When he sees my large hands

Looking deeper through the pane

To see what is wrong

He’s not sure he is sane

He has been there way to long

As I peer into the glass

This child starts to fade

Leaving no mass

And me standing in the shade

Your Star

I miss you so much

But I can still feel your touch

I preyed to you last night

As I hold on tight

I look up and I cry

A tear drops upon the floor

I look for more and more

Another star means another death

I miss you so much

I love your touch

It’s not the same without you

That’s so true

You should still be here

Holding on to me

I miss you so much you mean a lot to me

Our Frienship

As I think of our friendship, I begin to see

Mere words can't describe what you mean to me.

When this cold, hard world has me lonesome and blue

I look up to see my angel, my sweet angel, you.

You dry the tears that fall from my eyes.

You bring me sunshine to brighten my sky.

You rescue me when I'm scared and alone

And take my hand to lead me home.

No matter the miles that keep us apart

We're always together in each other's hearts

Sometimes we take for granted, I fear,

The ones who are so close and dear.

We get so caught up in life and things we must do

Sometimes we forget to stop and say I love you.

If ever you felt I forgot or didn't care

Let me stop right now, my true feelings I'll share.

You're the sun in my sky, the bed where I lie.

You're the home where I'm safe, the field where I play.

You're everything I am, everything I do.

So what I am saying is I LOVE YOU!

Indecisive

A tag of war of rivals amid reciprocal sways

My head and heart on floating question stains

Innocent, naïve which might will I surrender to?

Whose aroma will my sense be persuaded to?

Pushing and pulling, I felt so defenseless

I had no power over my obedience

The inconsiderate thieves snatched my right

I couldn’t craft a step, a move, and an answer

How precious am I whose worth is to be robbed?

An offer like a blood to a thirsty vampire throat

What am I? A hand-friendly basketball

Elastic from anyone’s hand security

How I wish my mouth wasn't stitched

I could shout like an echoing bell kinetically

Their ears would be plucked angrily like a gong

Frightened, choice less- they returned my gold

Love

its raining hard with thunder bolts,

and lighting with a thousand volts.

you try your hardest to keep dry,

it seems the rain wont let you by.

you make a dash from door to door,

trying to dodge the hard down pour.

it cant be beat that endless flow,

you cant shelter from it all night you know.

so brave the torrent and make a dash,

and ignore the thunder volts that crash.

just come on home its cozy here and,

I will say I love you dear.

I LOVE YOU DEAR

I Love You

You look at me as if I'm the only girl around

You make me feel important and never let me down

You've showed me how to live

How to smile. what to say

You've showed me what its worth

To love someone each and every day

So this poem goes out to you

For everything you've done

And I hope now you understand

That baby, Your the one !

I Love You Baby

Tears Stained Cheeks And Blood Shot Eyes

The angel lost her grace,

As mascara ran down her face.

She forgot love, remembered hate.

She no longer had her faith.

With tear stained cheeks,

Through blood shot eyes,

She saw only pain and suffer.

Love, she couldn't conquer.

As the blue sky faded to black,

Darkness filled her heart.

Her wings vanished from her back,

And her kindness fell apart.

Even with all her might,

Her dress still went black from white.

She was sent to save,

To help those who weren't brave.

But as she looked around,

At the marks she left...

Tear stained cheeks,

And blood shot eyes.

Hidden Feelings

I met you in the month of June

since then my feelings for you blooms

I'm always trying to impress,

but you never notice me

maybe it's because I'm not that beautiful

and you always treat me as friend.

deep inside my heart,

how I wish you could care for me

not just as a friend

but somebody who loves me

sometimes I have a mental block

because I'm thinking of you

I'm dreaming of you and myself

together in my fantasy world

where all my dreams come true

All The Way I Love You

How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways

I love the way you love the real me

For no pretense does there have to be

I love how you can make me laugh

Though my world seems so dark

I love how you make me feel

As though I can tell you anything

I love how just the thought of you

Brings a smile to my face

Just knowing that we are going to spend

our lives together

Is enough to make me feel like the happiest

person in the world

That's how I love you and it's how you make me

feel!

Snowy Owls

Sleeping softly through the day ,

Never making a sound.

Only seeming to wake up ,

When the sun goes down ,

that is when

Young snowy owls come out to play.

Opening its eyes ,

ready to fly.

Wings at the ready ,

at the edge of the nest

Leaves the forest into the night ,

eyes lit by the moon .

Wishful Dreams

If I had one wish to make

I'd use it up on you.

Just to see you one more time

In the heavenly sky so blue

All I have are the memories

The good ones and the bad

The day you finally let it go

And left me more than sad

I wish that you could come back here

And fill back up this hole

You put it there years ago

When your body left your soul

You always made me feel special

You were always there it seems

But after all this is too big

It's only wishful Dreams

Changing World

The light is cold. The day is dark.

The only thought I have, a spark.

The only breath I breathe, my mark.

In this ever changing world.

The mirror is the truth, my face.

The reflection is only mine, a trace.

I decide who looks back, I decide the space.

In this ever changing world.

What happens next is up to me.

Cage up the bird, or let it free.

The blinding sun over the setting sea.

In this ever changing world.

I Love You

I love you.

You’re the joy in my heart,

The sparkle in my eye,

The light in my life.

I love you.

You’re the wind to my wings,

The steps to my dances,

The voice to my songs.

I love you.

You’re the reason for breathing,

The purpose for thriving,

The cause for living.

I love you.

You’re the most caring human being,

The very generous and gentle,

The loveliest of them all.

Just look

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

It won't be happy

It won't be pretty

The way I act

Makes me seem happy

It makes me seem fine

But look into my eyes

There you will see

See the hurt

See the hate

In my eyes I will seem distant

Look into my eyes

There you will see everything

Everything I hold inside

There you will see me

The Perfect Dream

Waves beating on the sand

There we sit hand in hand

Waves crash down

And I wipe away my frown

The sun begins to set

It seems like we've just met

But we've known each other for a while

Now just the thought of you makes me smile

We begin to walk

And we start to talk

Our steps are in sync

I can't even think

He stops and looks at me

I look up and he is all I see

He leans in

And it's like the perfect sense

But I always wake up

And realize It was all just a dream

Love. Pain. Cry. Hurt. Die

I wake up thinking of you,

I fall asleep thinking of you,

I sometimes want to die with you...

You were the light in the dark

The squeeze in a hug

And the sister in my heart

When I heard the blood in my body stopped

My heart screamed

And I felt dead...

You made me feel happy and loved

I see the signs everywhere that you are present

But I never will stare in your eyes again...

If there was one thing, one thing at all...

I would take back 1:53 am...

FOREVER!

I cry for you

I love you

And I would have died for you...

L, is for the Laughter I give to you every day

knowing you'll never go away

O, is for the Options we'll have when were together

knowing our love couldn't get any better

V, is for the Visions I have of you

knowing I'll never find anyone quite like you

E, is for Everything that's true I've every said

especially when I said "we'll be together till were dead"

I Love You

I never really knew you

you were just another friend

But when I got to know you

I let my heart unbend

I couldn't help past memories

That would only make me cry

I had to forget my first love

And give another try

So I've fallen in love with you

And I'll never let you go

I love you more than anyone

I just had to let you know

My feelings for you will never change

Just know my feelings are true

Just remember this one thing

I will always love you

Heart Ache

You lie there motionless

There's no you left on earth

I am surely torn from this

God made me feel this hurt

I blame myself for what happened

Even though I wasn't there

God took away my best friend

Like me without my limbs

I made it this far without you

Even if I'm dying inside

But don't look down from heaven

I don't want to feel your cry

Bullets are overrated

Knifes are the way to go

Cutting my veins open

I've feel I've gone insane

I'm still here without you

The devil took God's place

Sins are never forgiven

I'm starting to shake with pain.

My Daughter's Best Friend

My daughter has a best friend

who'll never leave her side.

They've been close since she was small.

He's been there as her guide.

They like to eat together.

They play great at the park.

They watch cartoons on T.V.

They snuggle in the dark.

When you're in a rocking chair,

you can't rock her to sleep.

She must have her friend by her

so she'll not try to weep.

When they go to play outside,

they tend to get boo-boos.

I'll go and kiss them better

like every mom should do.

My daughter has a best friend.

Little Leo's his name.

Though he is a stuffed lion,

their friendship is all the same.

Together Again

Never thought that I'd be leaving you today

So alone and wondering why I feel this way

So wide the world

Can love remember how to get me home to you

someday?

We'll be together again

All just to dream in the end

We'll be together again

So many fears were swimming around and around in my mind

Who would have dreamed what secrets we would find?

I found a world

Where love and dreams and darkness all collide

Maybe this time

we can leave our broken world behind

We'll be together again

All just a dream in the end
