I sit here with so many thoughts going thru my head I just want to close my eyes and go to bed. How many times have you felt the pressure taking its toll?

(5/29/13) All that I am, all that I can be Is because you came into me I felt a sensation, a shiver, and a chill I lost control, I lost my will. So many words rushing through my mind It was like I was out in space, and out of this time. The words flowed like a brook into the river Gathering everything in its path to a final destination Giving me peace, giving me gratification. Words, so many words with different meanings...

(5/28/13) She lost her life while texting that day And never got to finish what she had to say “I will meet” were the last words she said As everyone wondered “what went thru her head”. Was the message more important than her life? She was an only child, a mother, a wife. Because of a “text” family and friends mourn her today. She should have waited to tell them what she had to say. Before “texting and driving” you should...

Into Black and White

needs for communicating

Into black and white I often wonder if our voices are actually heard. If people read our every word! Or is it like life where you skim through it to get to the end Never realizing that you might lose a friend. We don’t stop to see and admire the picture as a whole And “that beauty” will never unfold. You know! I also wonder! That GOD could have made this world, humanity And the entire universe in a split second, yet he ch...

She held my hand

a guiding hand

(5/20/13) It is a lucky man who gets to hold her hand As she takes you far beyond the Promised Land She will take you on a trip that you’ve never been before As she opens up every door. She will take you through the doors of dreams The doors of hope, and teach you how to cope. She will let you peak in doors of anger, doors of fear But will not allow you to get too near. She will hold your hand tightly as she shows you the...

all alone

letting time slip away

(4/18/13 I sit at home with nothing to do, I ‘m all alone and feeling blue Where did the time go? That it went so fast! I was looking at the future and now it’s my past. I chose to ignore love because I felt I had time. Why oh why? Was I so blind! Now I’m all alone with my heart in my hand With no one beside me who could understand. No one really wants to be on their own And in their face it is shown! I look ahead to what...

(6/8/12) Some time love hurts to a point you want to cry You feel as if everything in you has begun to die You try to fill it, but it's like shoveling sand against the tide . I recall when I first saw you standing under the street light My mind started jumping and my heart took flight. I walked over to you and asked you your name I didn't feel guilty and felt no shame. Life is like a traffic light - it's a stop and go Fir...

the deceiver

deceived by the word love

(4/12/13) She sat in the bedroom window with tears in her eyes How could she have believed all his lies? He told her he loved her, he told her he cared And her life he wanted to share. He held her, and kissed her as her passions grew At exactly the right moment he knew what to do. As his hands traveled up and down her spine He said not to worry – everything would be fine She knew what he wanted, but she could not resist A...

rain in my heart

Losing your love of your life

(4/11/13) I am walking in the rain as so many people do Letting the rain refresh me as I thought of you The rain erasing all doubts from my mind Knowing you’re one of a kind. Your love like a pearl in an oyster shell Is worth more than man can tell. GIRL! Your love became like an eternal fire Filling all my heart’s desires. I am giving in – can’t take it any more My life has changed since you walked out that door. I’ve ha...

(the story of a destined love) 4/3/13 The castle stood on a mountain so high, that its tips touched the sky And as she ran across the field, every fiber of her being she could feel. The excitement building up in her like a thunder storm cloud Ready to explode “ and her love would begin to unfold.” Struggling to climb up that steep hill, with just her determination and her will. Breathlessly she scrambled with her hands an...

(4/2/13) The sun is out and the wind is blowing my way I’m here in the park with my grandson today There are some kids with which he found to play But it was for a short time, for their mothers took them away. So with him I played a game or two of tag, football and “Steal the old man’s bacon” – he would run and I would just fake it. We walked over to the exercise course, but those were built For a strong young horse. Not...

(3/30/13) I had written about my heavy heart and how you Had become such a big part. So with these thoughts going thru my head I will lay my fears to rest. There is so much beauty on this site, that it Fills my heart with strength and might. There are so many of us going thru aches and pains That to abandon you would be a crying shame. There is so much hope in the words of all poets And insights never seen or touched befo...

love made in heaven

finding true love

(3/8/13) The angels gathered in heaven to witness our wedding day For this was a match made in heaven as they came together to pray Long before our births-GOD had made this plan And he had all the angels give a helping hand.

We...
