POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Expressing myself was never my strong point until I was exposed to poetry at the age of 14. I still have trouble "voicing" my feelings but give me paper & pen or an electronic device to type there's no stopping me!
Thinking Things Through
How can a few little words change my life?
How can those words change the way I feel?
I thought I had it all figured out
I thought I was ready to move on
Those few little words mean a lot to me
Those tears you shed mean even more
But how can I forgive what you did to me?
How can I forget all the pain you caused?
So many questions I wish I knew the answer to
So much pain that I still feel today
I need to figure out what to do next
I need to figure out what is best for me
I know I will always love you
I know I...

Missing Him
For years my life has felt empty
For years I cried out in pain
The pain of losing you
Was more than I could stand.
My best friend was gone
Never to be seen or heard again
Just a memory in my heart and mind
A memory I never want to forget.
Praying that will never happen
Because I had over 30 years with you
I know that's more than some others get
But it wasn't enough for me.
I never wanted to live life without you daddy
But here I am today...
Left loving and missing you
On this cold and miserable day. ...

Loving You Missing You
Wiping the tears from my eyes
Watching them roll down my hand
Feeling numbness deep inside
Just wanting to disappear
To be with you again
But I'm here and you're there
My heart is missing you deeply
But nothing I can do
I wish I could just change the past
And have you here with me once again
To see your smiling face
To feel your loving touch
The tears continue to fall
There's no stopping them now
I will just cry myself to sleep
...

Something To Believe In
I finally have something to believe in
Something that makes me smile inside
I have no idea what will happen yet
But I had to promise to still live my life.
I know how I want things work out
But I know things never go as I plan
So as they say...Hope for the best
But plan for the worse.
The best will be having my dreams come true
The worse being that my future with you isn't bright.
One day at a time is all we have for now
But that's more than I had before.
The more I learn the more I will wait
Just knowing that your smile lifts...

Chemistry
No one but us can understand our unspoken language
No one but us knows what it is that we feel.
To describe into words how I feel
Is probably close to impossible.
Do I believe in love at first sight?
No but I do believe in chemistry.
The chemistry we share is like no other
When you're around nothing else matters.
My mind is yours and what you do to it is unique
Making me think but at the same time explaining your reasoning.
My heart has been crushed but your willing to work with me
Giving me hope when I...

A Thousand Dreams
I can dream
A thousand dreams
And they all
Would be
Of you!
You are my dream
Come true
My wish
Upon a star
My one and only!
You are my heart
You my soul
You are the air I breath
Each second
Of everyday!
I will dream
A thousand dreams
Each ending differently
But having the same
Meaning behind them.
The meaning of love
And happiness
That I have only
Felt with you
That will last a life time.

My Wish
Looking at your picture when you're not there
Reminding me how much you care
Waiting for the day you can hold me near.
I feel our love getting stronger each day
Knowing that our love is here to stay
You make me smile when I feel gray.
Planning our future and the days ahead
Each night together as we get ready for bed
You hold me tight and kiss my head.
You smile all day long
In your arms I know I belong
I have been trying to write you a song.
My words are in my heart
They have been there from the start
But putting the on...

Thinking About Our Love
I can only imagine
What it will be like
Making love to
The love of my life.
We met online
But talk every day
For hour and hours
Sometimes all night long.
We are making plans
To meet in the near future
Where we kiss and cuddle
And fulfill our wildest dreams.
We have talked about
What gets our juices to flow
So when we meet
We don't need to waste any time.
It's not just about sex
Our connection is unlike any
I've had before
At times I feel we're one.
He makes sure I know
When he's...
What it will be like
Making love to
The love of my life.

Evaluating My Heart
I thought I was in love before
But now that I think back on it
I was in love with being with someone
Because I was afraid of being alone.
My eyes were just opened
To a love that's honest and true
I don't need to tell him
What makes me happy...
He does it all on his own.
It's the little things he does
That makes my heart beat
All day long
And keeps me going strong.
I love him more and more each day
There's no doubt at all
That he is the one I waited for
The one that fills my heart and soul ...

In My Heart And Mind
Never could I have imagine
My life without you
Now that I have your love.
Your love makes me stronger
Your love makes me smile
All day long I'm thinking of you.
Not only are you my world
But you're also my best friend
I love you with all that I am.
Please love me forever and a day
Because that's how long I'll love you
Maybe even longer.
Together we will last
Because our love is true
I feel it in my heart and soul.
My life without you
Now that I have your love.
Your love makes me stronger

Please love me forever and a day

Don't Ask For Much
I don't ask for much
Just the need to feel loved
The need to feel wanted
The same way I show it to you.
A kiss or message each morning
Asking me how my day was
Wanting to spend time together
Another kiss or message before bed.
Time and Time again
It's been proven that this is to much
For anyone to give me
So do I give up or lower my expectations?
I think I have been patiently waiting
But seems like my patients ran out
I want what I want
And I want it now.
I am willing to give all my love ...
