My Book of Poetry

Star Light, Star Bright:
Heart,
won't you lasso the moon,
kiss the prayer infested sky,
and forgive the stars
for shining so bright,
it's not their fault
you keep asking for foolish pride...

Wish a new wish for life
and grant your dreams
a reason to believe in reverie,
furnish your soul with hope
and faith shall bestow
your shark bitten heart...

Might it be a lover
echoing sweet balladry
with a beat that compliments
your own unique melody;
or a ratty old coffee cup
to console your icy cold fingers
into a poem of majestic quality,
whispering humanity rests
behind the pathetic words
of this so called prose...

Desires can be found
in four leaf clovers,
friends and sometimes even mothers,
behind the arms of time,
and dusty old bibles
sworn on by sinners crimes,
so latch on to your preference
and do your heartstrings right
wish a crucial wish, tonight...

I look back on these years
To see how far I've come and grown,
I take a trip down memory lane,
And what I see has shown ...

That every step I've taken,
You have been there by my side ...
From infancy to being a teen,
We've stood the test of time.

You cradled me and nurtured me,
Through all these many years;
You held me and did comfort me,
Through happiness and tears.

You'd pick me up when I would fall,
You'd dust me off and then,
Encourage me to get back on
That horse and ride again.

Your constant care and loving,
And your warm inviting heart,
Has always been a treasure that
I knew would n'er depart.

If I could be "just half" the person
You have been to me ...
Then you have taught me well dear mom,
For in my heart I see ...

A woman whose most gentle soul,
Embraces me each day ...
A woman whom I dearly love,
Much more than words can say.​

You're still sleeping,
I'm waiting for it to end,
But for as long as you're gone,
My heart will never mend.

You're resting your head,
But no dreams haunt you,
I'm counting the years,
Pushing on through.

You're holding your hands,
So still together,
Six years you have been gone,
And it feels like it's been forever.

No tears will fall from your eyes,
I'm still trying to understand,
But my tears are falling,
And I still find it hard sometimes to stand.

I'm finding it unfair,
Still after all these years,
My heart is still bleeding,
I'm still wishing away my fears.

I still need you here,
I'm holding a picture of you,
You're my beautiful angel,
Moving on is all I can do.

It still hurts deeply,
It still feels so wrong,
This is tearing me apart,
Like it has been since you have been gone.

I'm singing a song about you,
Wishing I could hold you so tight,
I'm wishing you were here,
So everything could be all right.

But you're still sleeping,
I'm still waiting for it to end,
But for as long as you're gone,
My heart will never mend.​

A Sign:
Something clear to see
But invisible to you and me
Something strong to grab hold of
But the eye can not see

It stands in front of them
But they are to blind to see
Open your eyes
Don't be a fool
Why can't you see
It's standing right in front of you

The truth is being shown to you
Grab hold of it take it by the hand
It might not come again
Show it to the ones that care
There is where its dreams come true

But only if you see
The truth within me
So open your eyes
Look inside
See the truth
See whats meant to be

People all around
Unable to see
People all around
Blind to what they see

People are hurting inside
People are invisible
People are forgotten
People are alone

Never noticed
Never seen
Never heard
Never spoken
Never whispered
Never wished

Always forgotten
Their lonely life
Nobody can see
Waiting for a sign from above
To set them free​
