Who Should I Be

Who would I be?
Without my pen to touch your soul—
Would I work as a teacher
To inspire the minds, I wish I had.

What could I possibly become?
If I could not write like this.
Would my heart be full of love to share?
With you and the rest I see.

Would my pain still grow,
Knowing that no one cares for me.
Even with this pen—
Managing to die a little more
With each word and phrase.

To which I was once so proud,
But now can’t manage to read
Without a shudder of my voice,
And a tear in my eye.

What More Can You Be

Have you cried yourself to sleep at night?
Thinking about those who hurt you,
And your heart could never forgive.
Does that heart of yours still yearn for a love?
Or has its thirst been quenched
Upon life’s stone.
The pure thoughts and memories I have seen,
Sprung from your lips
And those rosy cheeks—
I have longed to embrace.

You have the destiny to find someone,
As others watch smiling at your accomplishments
To the task.
The memory that shall never fade,
Will linger in my dreams

Who You Really Are To Me

Do you see the things that I dream,
Can you understand why I feel this way.
My hands know not what to do,
Nor does my mind know how to act—
Why is this so hard?
To understand when I started,
But only seems to fade into this.
A mere image of once was
Inspiration and perplexing all in my eyes.
A beauty that cannot be known,
And you are nothing less—

Minds to dreams,
Dashed hopes with dazed realities,
Why be mine, as you have others to see—
I am just one who knows you
Among the adolescent minds

My Love For You

Should I really write about you,
The one I need to know
Yearning to hold on one fine day.
But is it plain to see
That you are the only one for me.

And now you are all I see in my dreams
But never shall I know the end,
As you are so far from me.
My love is like no other,
And like my other love it shall only know you.
For even now my passion
Is devoted to this science—
Where my heart is in a pen,
And my mind is on paper.

Still there you are so close,
Just out of my reach—
Barely can I stand to see you

What More Can There Be

I try to understand this word,
Call it in no avail to its purpose.
And still my heart says why,
While my mind tries to find its mate.

But when I say your face,
Its smooth skin with the light just beaming from it
With oceans of blue
Flooding from your eyes.
I knew my time was near,
To fin all I needed to know.
You are my love,
And I will never let you go.

When will my heart feel like this again,
To have the time of my life
In your arms,
As there are no worries
To see.
So take my hand,

Love Meant to Me

Love is like a fountain,
Always full of life and strength
Knowing the path its always taken,
And sticking to it no matter the cost.
Unlike so many things
How can a love so pure from you last
Through the nights
Days and weeks,
Inside of this incapable world.

Hard to think so much could be lost,
At the drop of a hat,
Or at the payment of a dollar.
To me I wish so much more
For my love to be a rage
Like a waterfall
Which does not know retreat.

My Only Memory of My Love

Beauty is not just a word,
It’s a lifetime to live by—
With your hair as soft as silk
And those hands delicate as a hummingbird.
I walk in the silence of this night,
Watching the stars gazing at us.

You in my arms,
Just the memories in our eyes.
This would last forever,
If only we could stop time.
Lost in your heart
And cannot find the words to say—
How much I love you tonight.

Until this silence has gone
We will both have each other.
Inside this hopeful dream,
Where the sweet scent of hazel,

Again We Meet

You’re the only one who told me this,
When the time would be right
For us both to step into life.
But what shall make this different
From all the others.

Time will always torment us both,
Taking the love we could have had
And the friendship you deserve.
Never will I stop caring for this
Keeping it so close to my heart.

What a grace you have in your steps,
Making each movement great on its own—
These are the moments,
Which I have prayed for
To touch your heart
Your hand—
Thanking God I am alive

Just That Day

Love may just be a feeling,
But that smile
Shows me so much more.
The rain begins to pour,
And you just laugh harder
As you dance in the puddles.
No one has ever given me so much
In just one thought,
A flash I wish could last forever
In my heart.

The rain beads off your face,
And your clothes are already soaked—
But you still pull me closer.

As a final thought runs through,
“Why me?”–
Then its over as we kiss,
Our first time
Making the world around fade

May I Walk So Shallow

May my day come soon,
When the sky fades away,
And my vision becomes pale
Like the man in the moon.

Me heart deserves that much,
Where hell has splashed and played.
Given horrors to each one moment
While telling the other its time is over,
Nothing but the pain of anguish.
Terrestrial moons—
And distant stars that have no faces.

Where is my time,
The life I want, need, yearn to behold.
But I know the path,
Must face it alone.
So well can I heart those voices screaming,
Wailing like an unfit child,
