Finding the Poet
I believe that we, as poets,
Observe More and
Feel More.
Heartbreak can
Inspire Us, or
Un-inspire Us.
--
And, even though we may stop writing for a while,
we will always be poets.
We will observe and feel,
then tell the world about it!

The Fairer Sex...
Her eyes,
Her smile,
Her charm,
Her wit,
Her kiss.
There is nothing "fair" about it.

The Dark That Lies Ahead
She had tears in her eyes.
They gently rolled down her cheek
as she breathed a stuttered sigh.
He knew that he was the cause of her pain.
Twisting the dagger
that was piercing their long held love.
She wanted her dream come true.
And he tried to be everything she wanted,
without losing himself in the process.
They each wanted to be happy.
Wanted each other to be happy.
But both were scared of what lay before them.

Nightmare
Had a dream last night.
One of those where you watch yourself,
Out-of-body type.
Watched myself do things.
Evil things.
Things that any conscience would forbid.
And I was hurting those who I care about most.
However, the worst part of my dream
Was not my actions.
The worst part was watching helplessly,
and knowing I am better than that!

Imperfect
I know I have flaws.
I just wish they could be
sexy, fun, and exciting.
That would be ideal.

Temptation
In the darkest corner of my mind,
A whisper.
Beckoning, urging, longing.
Becoming desperate.
A feeling in my gut.
Wrenching.
It's what I want,
But hearts can be shattered.
No one needs to know...
No one will find out...
The lies I tell myself.
Very convincing.
A whisper.
Beckoning, urging, longing.
Becoming desperate.
A feeling in my gut.
Wrenching.
It's what I want,
But hearts can be shattered.
No one needs to know...
No one will find out...
The lies I tell myself.

Life As a Soundtrack
What defines you?
Is it one genre? One artist? One song?
Or is it a mixtape?
Do you pick the track to reflect your mood?
Or do you select the song to make you feel something?
How many times do you let it repeat?
Can you move on when it's been overplayed?
There comes a point were you must decide:
Do you keep listening to what you are comfortable with?
Or do you update your playlist?

Talking to You (Still in My Head)
Removing my armor and making myself vulnerable.
Placing my complete trust in you.
Hoping you will protect me.
Asking you to let your guard down.
Realizing it is difficult based on your past experiences.
Still seeing some of your walls intact.
Can you...Will you trust me with your heart?
Are you truly happy now?
Maybe I feel like I failed you in some way.
Or is it just my mind putting words in your mouth?
Someday I hope my worries will be dispelled.
But know that I still love you. Always.
Placing my complete trust in you.
Hoping you will protect me.
Asking you to let your guard down.
Realizing it is difficult based on your past experiences.
Still seeing some of your walls intact.
Can you...Will you trust me with your heart?
Are you truly happy now?
Maybe I feel like I failed you in some way.
Or is it just my mind putting words in your mouth?
Someday I hope my worries will be dispelled.
But know that I still love you. Always.

"I'm Happy"
It's hard to explain.
But it is a joyful feeling
To get a text from someone you love
Just to let you know that they are happy.
Life can be cruel,
Hurtful,
Surprising at times.
But these little moments are what we'll remember.
So few things last forever.
We must cling to memories that make us smile,
Feel loved.
Where an instant can last a lifetime.

Hurtful,

But these little moments are what we'll remember.

We must cling to memories that make us smile,

Death of a Poet
He lies there in his thoughts.
Watches helplessly as his Inspiration slips away.
Terror engulfs him.
His gut, wrenching.
He wants to vomit. (As if that will make him feel better!)
Things were about to change.
The fantasy he knew plays in his mind.
He must adapt if he wants to survive the real world.
