When you can’t eat, can't sleep, can't breathe without them. When your chest tightens up  and it feels as if a hand has reached up inside your chest, squeezing your heart between cold fingers.  When your eyes sting  because there’s no more tears left to cry. When all you want is better times  but know that they’re gone forever, like a memory that will never fade, like a dream that became a nightmare. When you lie awake at...

My bare toes curling in warm sand Your arms around me, time unplanned To feel the impulse of your thoughts Which whisper up from depths opaque Our minds are one soft rippling lake. The impulse of a kiss arose, I hope my blush hides in shadows You notice, softly laugh and smile “I haven’t kissed you yet” you say The thought’s enough for fond display. It scares me. Squeeze. Don’t be afraid. His comfort floods, from warmth i...

Free-wheeling down the lanes of lifeWe seldom think about the end of the roadThat comes so often so swiftly Before we can reactOr understand whyWhen there is no reason whyIt just isLifePassing byPassing awayLosses we feel and know others are feelingBecause it is a universal anguishTo be bereaved And grieve. They leave us, oh, so soonBefore we have time to touch themTo tell themTo let them really knowHow much we careThat t...

As I sit alone no matter where I am I think of you and it all comes rushing back.  The memories I cherish and the love I gave up.  The first time we spoke, in a chat room filled with hope. Getting to know each other and learning to cope. With the past that was now gone. And the way it changed our lives. The day you finally came to me, With open arms, that night making love was fantasy charm. my prince charming had finally...

I feel so many things That when I take a moment to breathe A moment to pause before sleep overcomes me I cannot feel anything I am empty. I look on the past It’s a flurry of cold anger The freezing storm that lays a sheet of ice upon my forehead To cool my thoughts With a rustling wind carrying hate For the people that have wronged me. More dangerous than any heated heart rate. With the sun beating down On an affection I’...

The paths of trust can be most hard to find When hearts have lost the confidence once known. So many ways have hindrances unkindThat trip you up and turn your faith to stone. Each person wants the sureness of love's touchThat leads the way through trackless wilderness,And gives each lover one more needed crutchWhen life has dealt the blows of harsh duress. You'll always have anxiety addressed Because you have my help alon...

At first she knows only of those, That young and selfish, always try To be the best, turn up their nose. She cares not for them but gets by. Yet next she meets the bitter child That smiles politely in your face And then your talent is reviled And jealousy takes friendship’s place. An angel graces troubled times A human kind and so divine She wonders at her sins and crimes And thinks more of the fate’s design. But lost aga...

My Green-Eyed Temptress Has eyes that are Bright Shining Alluring Inviting Mysterious Playful Vexing My green-eyed temptress has eyes that are Pools of love laced with golden glitter Pin pricks of desire boring into me Hints of passion yet to come Beacons of hope on a dark stormy night within my soul Transforming me Helping create a revival of passion within my soul A window to her soul My green-eyed temptress has eyes th...

You came to me and curled up in my arms not saying anything as the tears run down your cheek. I look at you and pull you close  telling you quietly "I'm here, it will be alright" you stay quiet except the occasional sob. Running my fingers up and down you back just holding you tight until your ready to talk Knowing that if I push, you will just get angry  and no one benefits from that, so I just stay quiet and softly kiss...

I L Y She'll know if she reads this... I L Y Because you strum my heart strings I L Y Because you taught me more about myself I L Y Because you did not let me make a fool of myself I L Y Because of your smile so warmly given I L Y Because you provide inspiration I L Y Because you provoke my imagination I L Y Because you let my fantasy blend with yours I L Y Because you cast so much ‘glitter’ in my life I L Y Because of B....

Lay your beating heart by mine Cross your fingers intertwine Search your soul for hidden sign Toss the straws and fall in line. Rest hope’s head upon your bed Have no tears left to be shed Sleep not on this path we tread Read the notions left unsaid. When you tire keep it in If you stop you won’t begin Journey to yourself within Find what’s needed to fit in. When you’re wretched, when you’re sad You’ll see men in same clo...

Birds screeching, With leaves afloat Trees moving, Bees sucking the nectar, Children hanging around  And some couples enjoying the occasion,  What a pleasant view! It's so wonderful to be with the nature Where our hearts have the joy And feeling great to be born.

To love is ... To accept someone for their differences, as well as their similarities; To love is ... To hold them in your heart, even when you can't hold them in your arms; To love is ... To forgive and forget and move on, instead of moving on and forgetting to forgive; To love is ... To allow different interests to compliment who you are together, instead of complicating who you are seperately; To love is ... To grow to...

Talk is cheap that is true; A lesson learned from loving you; You lead me on so subtly;You hold me close though set me free; You say you love me though I wonder why; When I see the truth within your eyes; You know the game, you play it well;It's hard to know the lies you tell;The contradiction that is you; I sit and wonder what to do; This tug of war between faith and pride; To stay with you or run and hide.
