Lost Love
Current mood: creative
Category: Writing and Poetry
Lost Love
i gave you my love
then I set you free
you threw that love
right back at me
we were once so close
there was nothing we couldn’t share
you drifted away
now no longer do you care
i’ve cried into my pillow
and dreamed of you each night
you no longer care for me
i’m all alone at night
so one more time
i set you free
live your life as you will
you still have a friend in me

The Arms of a Friend
Current mood: hopeful
Category: Writing and Poetry
The Arms of a Friend
I'll take your hand
But I won't lead your way
I'll walk beside you
And guide along the way
I'll whisper softly in your ear
The words you’re longing for my dear
I'll kiss your lips and touch your skin
Bring out our passions from deep
within
Pull you close and hold you dear
Take away all pain and fear
In the darkness of the night
I'm afraid love and can’t be your light
For within me shadows dwell
I'm in my own lonely hell
You'll find your wings so you can fly
I cannot soar, I fear to fly
Can't enter your heart, I've a wall of my
own
My chains are dense as you can see
Can't break your chains they're to
heavy for me
Can't you see I need to be free

A Hole In My Heart
Current mood: numb
Category: Writing and Poetry
A Hole In My Heart
you know you have left
a hole in my heart
who will mend it
now that we’re apart
i knew the time would come
when we would no longer
be together
but the time was to brief
a friend tells me
move on with your life
you are still friends
and will be for life
a life i see
without your fond embrace
is a life with empty dreams
with a hole in my heart

Our Time Together
Current mood: numb
Category: Writing and Poetry
Our Time Together
our time together
has brought me such joy
each time we would meet
was like heaven to me
when first we met
i was shy and scared
you were patient and kind
and the fear went away
i told you
that i would always
be here for you
till you had no need of me
the days with you
made me complete
the nights with you
nothing could compete
our time ran out
your need of me gone
still i bask
in the love that you’ve shown
thank you so much
for giving me such joy
you will always hold
a special place in my heart

A Broken Heart
Current mood: numb
Category: Writing and Poetry
A Broken Heart
a broken heart
crying in the night
the love she lost
and without a fight
she gave you her heart
with no strings attached
then she set you free
hoping you would come back
for a time you came back
and she loved you all the more
but then you became to busy
to see that her heart was sore
she turned to another
who needed her for a time
but that time came to an end
and again she is alone
as the tears she is shedding
for the love she thought she found
the love who is to busy
although he is not bound

Category: Writing and Poetry
A Birthday Poem for My Sister
seems like only yesterday
mom left me with mimi
on that april day
and she returned with that
bear in her arms
i only wanted you sis
thru the years we have argued
and we have cried
alway you were there for me
right by my side
we are not as close
as i would like for us to be
but you always live in my heart
my wish for you this birthday
is all the things you want in life
you only deserve the best
life has to offer
i love you sis

Current mood: determined

Starving for Attention
when we met
i was starving for attention
from the one i lived with
i was starving for attention
so often we would talk
so often we would play
no longer was i
starving for attention
now we no longer talk
much to busy are you
so once again am i
starving for attention

Handle With Care
i give you my life
please handle with care
i give you my heart
please handle with care
it’s all that i have
please handle with care
once it is broken

be repaired
please handle with care
to start life anew
a new life with you
a life to be shared
please handle with care

Difficult People
Current mood: determined
Category: Writing and Poetry
Difficult People
difficult people
make life hard
never being fair
difficult people
lie, cheat and steal
maybe not in earnest
although it seems for real
difficult people
just don’t understand
that when you take from another
life is not hand in hand
difficult people
selfish and self-centered
will always be alone
never really having a friend

Locked Out Of Your Heart
Current mood: determined
Category: Writing and Poetry
Locked Out of Your Heart
we were once so close
we shared everything
now i’m
locked out of your heart
tossed aside
like a discarded shoe
locked out of your heart
yet still not over you
but one day
i shall be free
and you shall be
locked out of my heart

Do not stand at
my grave and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand
winds that blow.
I am the diamond
glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the gentle
autumn rain
When you awaken
in the mornings hush,
I am the swift
uplifting rush
of quiet birds
in circled flight,
I am the soft stars
that shine at night.
Do not stand
at my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.
