POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Death Not Far Behind
Tell me where to find the sun, when it is hidden from the sky
Tell me how reach the stars, when I fall so far behind.
Remind me that when my life gets hard
Nothing is difficult for you
Help me to remember those days of long ago
Days when my body was not so weak and I didn't move so slow
Many times I don't remember
And there is much that I forget
I know that time is moving fast
and is no longer on my side
But I know that theres a road that lies just up ahead
And suddenly my fear, turns to peace instead
What awaits me is a journey...
Tell me how reach the stars, when I fall so far behind.
Remind me that when my life gets hard
Nothing is difficult for you
Help me to remember those days of long ago
Days when my body was not so weak and I didn't move so slow
Many times I don't remember
And there is much that I forget
I know that time is moving fast
and is no longer on my side
But I know that theres a road that lies just up ahead
And suddenly my fear, turns to peace instead
What awaits me is a journey...

Wounded by Love
Love is a game that I have never won
It is like a race that has not yet begun
Do I want too much
Or do I expect too little
In the beginning I wasn't jaded
And I believed in the magic of his touch
Yet time and time again I was wounded
And these wounds, they would not heal
So over time I began to build a wall
I built it high and built it strong to protect me from a fall
Yet the wall it could not hold me
And through the cracks my feelings crawled inside
Finally I had found a door that I...

You Believed in Me
I close my eyes and I see that place, that smile that laugh still on your face. It was years ago that you were there. The memories fade, still your voice I hear. As the years pass by and I think of you, I am more even more amazed at who I knew. A love so deep it filled that hole, that emptiness within my soul. When I felt weak, you made me strong. You believed in me, and i carried on. These words I had not the chance to say, cause our time was short, and you went away. If i had an hour, or just one minute, if your body still held life within it.
Yet that dream of mine can...

Adopted Love
I became a mother today
But quite in an unusual way
I waited anxiously to be told
But when she came my arms were cold
My heart now filled with joy and pain
The sun still shining through the rain
I could somehow feel her in the air
As I envisioned the color of her hair
Somewhere thousands of miles away
A little girl became my daughter today
She opened her eyes to see the light
But was quickly confused by the sight
She heard these voices all around
But could not understand a sound
Where was the voice that she longed to...

The Faith of a Flower
Sometimes Lord I don't know where I am going, or why I have suddenly stopped growing. I remember how I used to dance all day with the sun, everyday was a new day that had just begun. My roots were planted so firm in the ground and nothing could ever turn me around. Today I am nothing of what I used to be, but this oh Lord I know you see. My petals were once a vibrant red, but see how they are almost dead.
Am I just a wilted flower that is waiting in vain, or are you going to bring down the rain? Is there something that I must learn in this season? Please tell me oh Lord that...
