My Poetry: Random



I have been writing poetry since I was twelve years old, maybe younger. I have never shared my poems except for a few select friends. Then it hit me. What's the point of writing it if no one can read it? 
I hope you enjoy these and maybe one or two will resonate with you...keep in mind some of these poems were written when i was in a tough spot in my life... I'm essentially baring my soul to you and i hope that if one of these poems does resonate with you...that you realize you are not alone in those feelings...we all have hard times...we all have good...and we all feel lost at times...emotions are what connect us all...and I'm finally sharing mine.

                                                           
SWEET SENSATIONS

Swept away on an oceans breeze
Gliding above the open seas
Sweet sensations drift upon thy face
As one's soul, one's heart, one's mind, are guided to a heavenly place
To lie thy body upon a cloud
So soft, so sweet
Tis at that time one feels complete
All of the pieces of the hearts puzzle are set
Many to make one, a feeling even an angel could not forget
Close one's eyes and let thyself go
Leaving reality and entering fantasy
As one sleeps the night away
To awaken again to another glorious day
...Of sweet sensations



DYING DREAMS

Dying dreams fall like autumn leaves from a child's hands
Drifting slowly to the ground
The child reaches for them but that are out of grasp
When all seems lost...
A soft breeze, a sliver of hope
Sends those leaves, those dreams
Back to the child's hands
A smile spreads across the child's face
He catches them and hold them tight
 He has been given a second chance at a life of fulfilled dreams
The child is happy; content; looking to the sky; the future
He tightens his grip
And continues dreaming...
A world of dreams...
With a world of hope



AN ANGELS WHISPER

Such a vibrant soul devoid of trust
Lost in love portrayed as lust
A lone sliver of pain, a lover's cry
Leaves one innocent begging to die
Knowing naught of swift coming harm
Swept away with unquestionable charm
Terror hold a guiltless girl in a dreadful place
Whilst she envisions the devils face
A damaged soul, grasping tight
Hiding within on this infinite night
A faint voice hums as she strains to hear
An angel from above a whisper in her ear
"Step out of the shadows child it's time"
"I promise sweet soul all shall be fine"
"Out of the darkness I shall show you how"
"Trust me child life is brighter now"



DANCING IN THE RAIN

I have this dream to dance in the rain
I dream it over and over again
Drop by drop soaked to the bone
Wait... I'm not dancing alone
For here he comes proud and slow
He looks so strong in the street lights glow
With his hand he takes my waist
Then he gently places the other upon my face
He guides my lips slowly to his
And i that moment he steals a kiss
He places his hand upon mine
And with his thumb he traces each line
He hesitates slightly as if taking a chance
Then just like that we begin to dance
Step by step he sets a pace
His eyes never leaving my blushing face
I shiver though not from the cold
Then he makes a move so bold
He pulls me tight to his chest
My feet move he does the rest
I melt into his strong embrace
Pure happiness upon my face
We dance for what seems like years
Nature's music playing in my ears
Rain drops tapping a steady beat
Swaying in the wind moving our feet
I couldn't have dreamed anything more sweet
But to dance in the rain...
...Over and over again...



LOST

I'm lost and lonely I can't find my way
I regret my choices each and every day
I don't think I act without delay
When I lose myself what will they say?
I hope for love and long for life
The pain it hurts like a cutting knife
I wander through life without really seeing
Tell me lord what's the reason for my being
I'm indecisive, irresponsible, and sad
I'm dazed, hurt, confused, and mad
Why is life so difficult and full of pain?
I wonder now if my hope is in vain
Help me lord this I pray
Help me discover and find my way
 Many nights I search for a reason to be
Why lord, I ask, are you picking on me?



USED

They want my body not my mind
I give them my heart and they give me pain
True love is so hard to find
I'll be lucky if he remembers my name
Used
They watch me walk when I pass by
They want me for one thing alone
Yet they run from me when I cry
They ask for pictures over the phone
Used
The thought of commitment is absurd
They know what to say to get to me
They say the nicest things I've ever heard
I wonder what they really see
Used
They wait until I fall for them
They make me feel so complete
Then they leave me alone again
Tears and heartache are my retreat
Abused



JUST ME

Too social to be the geek
To friendly to be the freak
Just me
Too lonely to be seen
Too plain to be the queen
Just me
Too opinionated to be sweet
Too broken to be complete
Just me
Too loving not to care
Not pretty enough to spare
Just me
Too happy to be mad
Too angry to be sad
Just me
Too lost to be found
Too free to be bound
Just me
Too longing to lose hope
Too hurt to cope
Just me
Too determined to give in
Too much of a loser to win
Just me
Too skeptical to believe
Too terrified to leave
Just me
Too attached to move on
Too honest to con
Just me
Too me honest and true
Too everyone, too you
Just you



A DISEASE

My life is a memory fading in the back of my mind
I struggle to recall the year, date, and time
Why are they keeping me here? What did I do?
My eyes perceive nothing familiar; it all seems so new
Who is this man whom calls me his wife?
I feel that I know him. What’s happened to my life?
I’m losing my mind; a fact that I’m sure of
Where are my family and the ones that I love?
Did I do something wrong? Is god punishing me?
I know I’m old. My body hurts, I can’t see
Why can’t I remember I’m trying so very hard
I look at the pictures; I’ve re-read every card
I remember for a moment than that moment fades away
I don’t understand why the images can’t stay
The doctor reassures me with an apologetic look
As I try to remember the life from me which he took
A hot tear streaks my cheek as I cry out, NO GOD PLEASE!
He places his hand upon mine and utters… dementia it’s a disease



                                         Dangerously Safe


 I live my life in a bubble
 A sphere of safety protecting me
 My worries by the day seem to double
 Watching from the outside I’ll always be
 My life flashes by without a chance
 Or is it that I take too many
 I’m too terrified to stand and dance
 I fear I take chances a plenty
 The choices I’ve made haunt my mind
 My head and heart battle within
 Everywhere I turn I’m in a bind
 I hide my tears with a grin



                                       HATREDS EYES


How can hatreds eyes be so blind
So many faults yet to find
A glistening tear falls from his eye
It hurts so bad he can’t help but cry
He trembles and shakes not from physical pain
But he’s hurting just the same
Such painful words cutting so deep
Echoing in his mind while he tries to sleep
He stares at his hand dark as night
And pictures his life had he been white
Why does color matter so much?
His skin looked different but felt same to the touch
Every word scarred his soul
At times he thought he’d lose all control
But to hate because of hate was a contradicting lie
He questions himself asking why
He wishes their words didn’t hurt
Black not white, skin like dirt
He talks different; just not the same
But was that any reason to cause him pain?
He was who he was he had no shame
And as for his untimely death; hate was to blame



                                HATREDS LAST BREATH


Somewhere out there is a little girl
She lies awake trying to sort her fate just trying to understand
On her arm she looks and she wonders at the reddened print of her daddy’s hand
Her sister cries in the room next door
Her daddy’s screamin’ loud as he can
She hears a thud and the slam of the door
She can’t hear her sister; not anymore
The door swings open and he stomps in
She waits for him to beat her again
He grabs her, he shakes her, throws her to the floor
He’s not finished, she knows there’s more
She smells the alcohol heavy on his breath
As she tries to accept her coming death
She stares and she sees his hatred filled eyes
He smiles as he watches her death
She gasps for air and takes her last breath
Somewhere there is a little girl she lies awake tying
Just trying to understand
                                                                   Hatreds last breath    




LIFE

Flashing by resembling the blink of a firefly’s light
Moving as swift as a hummingbirds flight
A breeze that bristles through a tree
Like a shooting star for all to see
As the sun sets behind the hill
It leaves most wishing for more still
Fading away like winter to spring
As beautiful as anything




THROUGH A CHILD'S EYES

The earth is stunning charming and true
All is exciting and all is new
The world a mystery unraveling through time
Life thus comparable to a nursery rhyme
Truth is perceived through a child’s eyes
Immeasurable possibilities reaching the skies
Inquisitive eyes search one’s being
Leaving all curious as to what they’re seeing
The world a sandbox; a place to play
Discovering new wonders each coming day
If all might see through a child’s eyes
Humanity would be more the wise





Better Days

Fishing with friends on muddy banks
Helping laughing giving thanks
Cattails bowing in the breeze
Winds humming through the trees
The river runs racing the wind
In anticipation the grasses bend
The fish jump wild and free
Shiny and silver for us to see
A hawk calls as he seeks his prey
Soaring in his majestic way
The sun sets down over the hill
The wind settles and the night is still
Silence overcomes in a piercing way
Many goodbyes left to say
As friends go their separate ways
We’ll fish again on better days





SHADOW HORSE

Galloping across grassy meadows
Attempting to beat our relentless shadows
Running from the past chasing destiny
Neither to be found, yet I’ll still be
Racing time and testing fate
Eluding such the pearly gate
Riding upon my shadow horse
Straying from the path of fates set course
Worries race by; akin to wind in my hair
As I cling to my ever encouraging mare
Her hooves beat the ground with fierce power
As I envision our ever darkest hour
 Riding upon my shadow horse
Lest I am stopped by fates mighty force
When we are no longer able to outrun time & fate
And then must face the eluded pearly gate
Through the heavens now, though together still
We shall race our shadows as we always will
