The Day

A masterpiece, this moment of morning

Reds and blues in canvassed hues

Whirling winds in swirling strokes

brush away the night as light renews

High in the air a hungry hawk

With hunting eyes finds her prize

A perfect catch the hunter lives,

The perfect offering the hunted dies.

Scurrying squirrels and cawing crows

welcome the sun as night is done.

We too awaken, soon to know

many parts we are of the Only One.

No Master plan, this Heavenly Healing

Unfolding Art from the Artist's Heart.

The Painter paints with Loving Light

Creating hope as again we start

The Day.

The First Snow

Everything gets covered,

As the powder falls down.

The snow seems to be discovered,

As kids start to leave town.

The rushing and running,

As kids go out and play.

Just to view the fun,

That would keep them out all day.

Slipping and sliding,

And making snowmen.

While staying in hiding,

From the blistering wind.

The kids come in inside,

To drink something hot.

And go back outside,

To make a snow yacht.

Loved Ones

Loved ones are precious

I know this for a fact

And when you lose one

It’s like an attack

I've lost some loved ones

To many different things

I hate losing loved ones

But it’s a bell that has to ring

Loved ones are special

I have many I should know

But it just seems

I couldn’t let them go

You try so hard

To hold on

But in one small second

Loved ones are gone

Sometimes at night

I pray for lost loved ones

Even though they won’t come back

This poem is for them; the loved ones

Crying Inside

I am thinking,

I wonder how long she will live,

I hear her heart beat,

I see her cry,

I want for her to never die.

I am thinking ,

I am thinking

I pretend to be happy,

but inside, I really feel sad,

I touch her hand,

I worry is she OK?

I ask myself, does she remember me?

I am thinking

I am thinking.

I understand no matter what she will die,

I believe that she's OK

Even though inside I know she's not,

I dream for her to say alive,

I trust the hospital to keep her here with us,

I hope I can see her again.

I am thinking.

Goodbye To My Dad

Goodbye dad I had to say

A few months ago on a cold winter day

I’ll remember the good times and try not to be sad

But saying goodbye still hurts so bad

I miss you more then I can express

My love for you will never grow less

I keep trying to imagine how I will go on

I realize tomorrow is another dawn

I know you’re in heaven above

Looking down on us with all your love

Only to whisper in our ear

Remember that I’ll never stopped loving you dear

I’ll always remember the good times we had

Remember the man, my wonderful dad

I’ll remember you each and every day

And if I need to talk to you, I’ll just sit down and pray

One day we’ll be together again

To talk about all the places we been

Until the time I’ll always treasure

Having you for a dad was such a great pleasure

Precious Boy

His little eyes so sad,

His mouth turned in a frown.

Why does this little boy feel so bad?

What is causing him to be down?

His smile used to be so grand,

But now he hangs onto life by a strand.

He doesn't deserve this pain,

We all have the right to complain.

His mother stays by his side,

As the doctors remain to reside.

Please she cries, let him find a way out.

Erase our faces of this doubt.

This little boy is so precious,

His happiness is infectious.

His life will be so great,

He will overcome his fearful fate.

Hope Behind The Shadows Of Pain

In some others pretty eyes

There's a great painful disguise

Disguise that dressed their lonely heart

With devastating cuts that ever hurt.

Their smiles turned into sobs

Their laughter turned into screams

Their days turned into nights

And their joys turned into sorrows.

But no matter what caused their pains

They move forward as they wipe their tears

For in every beat of a lonely heart

There is hope that lights the path.

Cry For Help

I thirst for help before it’s to late

I stand alone in the darkness as I lay

the might of his fist feels like burning coal

the power of his kick ordains the soul

the fire in his eyes makes you blind

but my cry for help you can not find

I need help and someone to help me now

he won’t let me leave him so I don't know how

he is passive and controlling

as he push me around my body rolling

I don't think I can save myself

someone listen to my cry for help

The Truth

The truth is that she doesn't have,

but what she needs to know

This life she leads leaves so much space

for seeds that need to grow

What happened then, before this time,

how did it come to be?

That she would find herself

so hurt and longing to be free

The stories told do not ring true

to what's inside her head

Why can't she live each day with joy,

not such an aching dread?

When will the past come forth

to show her how it all began?

Till then she grieves in lonesome silence,

coping while she can

Mother

if only we had one wish

we'd only wish for you

if we only had one dream

we'd only dream of you

if we could bring one person back

we'd only ever pick you

one in a million is what you were

a diamond and a treasure

a brilliant mum and friend

we'll always love you forever

and keep our memories close

and treasure your love for ever

Tiger's Dance

Sleek, slender, cracking whip

dip, arch, circle,

agile, quick, deceitfully frail,

Is the delicate Art of the tiger Tail

Sharp, focused, all seeing orbs

dart, stalk, shimmer,

clear, intelligent, decidedly sly,

Is the dangerous Glint of the tiger eye

Strong, crude, ensnaring traps

catch, beat, claim,

savage, unfaltering, with addition of claw,

Is the brutal Work of the tiger Paw

Bloody, pointed, end of the game

devour, tear, shred,

And you with your final note sang

Are taken by the ravenous tiger Fang

I walk away without giving you a second glance

It's your own fault you couldn't keep with the Tiger Dance

Don't Be Sad When I Die

When tomorrow starts without me,

and I’m not there to comfort you,

please know that I still love you,

cause I know you love me too.

When tomorrow starts without me,

and you feel lost and blue,

I hope these words I’ve written

will help to see you through.

Someday your pain will ease,

sadness replaced by fond memories

Come tomorrow you will hear

I love you whispered on the breeze.

When tomorrow starts without me

cause God has called me home

I turn, blowing a kiss for thee

Sad that you may feel alone.

I will miss you tomorrow

as I take one last glimpse

a tear falls from my cheek

I’ll be going home.

And tomorrow will start without me

Cold Dark Corner

There's a cold dark corner

in the back of my room,

it speaks to me

and says I'm coming for you.

As I lie on my bed

in the fetal position,

my eyes are closed

hoping and wishing.

Maybe that one day

my dreams will come true,

that I don't have to be here

so down and blue.

The corner keeps talking

about how I'm going to die,

all I can do

is lie there and cry.

As the corner gets closer

and takes me in,

my soul starts to burn

as so does my skin.

My bones shall lie there

turning to dust,

my bed surrounding

nothing but rust.

I Have A Dream, Too

I have a dream, too

But must walk across the stage,

But in order to do that,

I must leave this day and age,

I’ll leave friendships and bonds

With friends old and new,

It’s gone by so fast,

It doesn’t seem true,

I’ve become a better person

It’s been so much fun,

And it seems like I’ve gone

From a walk to a run,

I have a dream for the future

But I fear too much change,

I fear once I move on

It won’t be the same,

A family, new friends,

A house, and a car,

To go to that from this,

It just seems so far.

I wish it would stop

But it goes faster and faster,

The more I struggle

The less I seem to last here

Ice Princess

Sensational tresses like locks of snow

Passionate eyes like embers aglow

A pale face with indication of desire

Surrounded by subtle white fire

Delicate limbs carved by ice

Shrouded in thy gown of sleet

Alluring smile; we it shall entice

Still she lies, so quiet and sweet

Enclosed by the winter white

A single loved and precious sight

On the wind her whispers ride

and on the wind the hymn does glide

Upon the horizon the sun ascends

When the wind dies down and the hymn does end

The silence falls and she makes amends

With still and peace her heart does mend

Why?

Why?

Why can't people see the real me?

I try so hard to be the perfect person I can be.

Sure I'm young, quiet and shy.

But I'm such an amazing person, which many pass by.

Why?

Why can't people just take the time?

Just tell me your favorite thing to do and I'll tell you mine.

The people that do, I hold dear to my heart.

They see me as mysterious, sweet, funny and smart.

You can't expect me to open up the very first day.

It takes time, but trust me, I'll soon have a lot to say.

Why?

Why can't people wait and get to know the real me?

I bet you I'd be a much different person than you first did see.

Island Of Love

A stranger in an island of my own

Where fragile desire collide

With our suffocating love. I walk alone

Walking against mysterious tides

As her illusive reflections leave me blown

My brain decides there was no pride

Only deserted hearts to dethrone

In empty dreams where i cried

No shame in being mud-down

Regretting the love that died

When her shadow was my only crown

A water-pure love which was denied

A'd rather be my island's clown

With nowhere to hide

Than be the impostor of her town

Do you now see the prince inside?

I need strength from above

My desolate island will soon divide

To name it the island of love

Was a well-hidden lie

An island of love

With endless love to provide

This was her perfect fall-off

This This was my revengeful lie

The Game

Let me tell you about a game I play

Where I close my eyes and fade away

I float away to a special place

Beyond the stars and moon and space

In this special place you see

There are only two people - just you and me

In this place, all is right

Nothing but love, and we never fight

In this place, there is no sadness

No cells, no courts, none of that madness

No rules to follow, no laws to break

No bars to hold us or separate

No one to tell us we can't kiss or touch

I don't just tell you "I love you" - I show you how much

But eventually the game must end

My eyes must open, and reality sets in

You Think

You think you're so good.

Think you're so perfect in everything.

You think you can control my mood.

Please you must be joking.

I gave you all my heart.

I believed in everything you say.

I trusted you from the start,

and everything went your way.

I guess I made my biggest mistake,

when I became loyal to you.

You're one of those friends that are fake,

in everything you say and do.

I thought your kindness would last.

But now, I feel so used.

Because when I think of the past,

I thought you'd never give my heart a bruise.

Why did I ever rely on a word you said?

What did I ever do to deserve this pain?

I've trusted you but you've hurt me instead.

And I don't know if I could believe you again.

In My Dreams

My Spirits' been hurt

So deeply by your actions.

It literally turned me off

Of all other attractions.

You were the one who

Broke down my wall,

Opened my heart to love

Not just to you, but to all.

On a pedestal

I held you up, you

Were what made me live

and never to give up.

What a fool I've become

To trust you to love me

How blind I was, how

Couldn't I see?

You were my world or

so it seems,

When my eyes are closed,

In my dreams.

Anticipation

I dream of the day that you are freed

so that my passion you can feed

My loins burn with strong desire

My heart swells with a burning fire.

The touch of your hand against my skin

Brings to my face a lustful grin

The thought of all the things we'll do

Your deepest desire will of course come true.

Your arms will once again hold me

And I will beg so passionately

For you to never let me go

And we will rock gently to and fro.

Your lips will touch mine and I will quiver

For my desire will make you shiver

I doubt we'll make it through the night

Without some squeals of pure delight.

So think on my love of that wonderful day

When I can look at you and say

I want more than anything

Right here right now, make my body sing

A Friend

A person who will listen and not condemn

Someone on whom you can depend

They will not flee when bad times are here

Instead they will be there to lend an ear

They will think of ways to make you smile

So you can be happy for a while

When times are good and happy there after

They will be there to share the laughter

Do not forget your friends at all

For they pick you up when you fall

Do not expect to just take and hold

Give friendship back ,it is pure gold
