Frozen Love

snow flakes in the sky makes it cold, but just outside in the heart heat hides so don't fear the cold though frozen, love can be felt and melt in the soul

A Quick One Before You Go

Do you have to leave? Words you never think you'll say 'Til it's time to go Time wandered so slow  But today crashed in with speed To take you away There's no way I thought I'd be grabbing on your sleeve Begging you to stay -- I'll open your door And make sure you don't get caught Setting yourself free. 

Secret Dream -- Yes I write Haikus sometimes & sometimes when I do,they rhyme

I woke from a dream Spoke not a word while awake Hushed hope never breaks. It's easy to win With no team blocking your aim; Dreams are just like games.

Do Not Disturb

Here's a poem that I wrote: Do Not Disturb Do not disturb, demands the sign A girl hangs on her locked door Like it's her choice to be confined A story she believes no more. A bare room, her locked door hides With secrets scattered on the floor Pieces of pain can shatter her pride Aches from loneliness have no cure. So she keeps them to herself Her secrets on the ground Telling them to no one else Tales never to be found. But how would the story go If she let the sign come down? She doesn't need an ending though There's nobody around. Nobody's knocking either way Deep down she knows it, too Still she hangs that sign each day Mocking everything that's true. She likes the quiet, she insists Wearing her headphones on her ear Alone by choice, she's so convinced She doesn't want anyone here. The lock makes her feel secure And the sign's just like a crown For nobody can ignore She who never makes a sound.

Finding it Again

This is a work in progress... Sometimes I use music to help me write.  When I do this, I'll listen to songs of all different types of genres played on shuffle & I'll take something from each song in order to create my work.  I might add more to this one; so far I only used 4 songs. Finding It Again Is it a doctor that I need?  Will magic prescriptions set me free and make me feel alive? Or I could search the cinema forever until I'm revived. No one can take away the treasure that defines me; for my favorite movie will always remind me. And if I don't find it on the movie screen, I'll hear it in the tambourine that plays my senses back to me 'til I'm once again awake Nothing will shock me enough to stop me from dancing to my escape. So even when I'm at my worst, I always know that love comes first and never really leaves. Nothing is gone just based upon what somebody else believes.

To a daring guy I knew...

I wrote something for a daring guy I knew who chose to leave this world too soon... The first time I saw you I had no clue what you could be The first time I saw you I had no clue what you'd do to me. Then when I heard your voice you were shouting so loudly, you gave me no choice but to hear you; I still hear you now. If I shut my eyes I can still see your face so clear; It's as if you were here, even though you've gone off to a better place It's as though you're next to me laughing as you drag me into our crazed secret days You'd pretend to be scared and make fun of the looks on my face. Come give me another dare 'cause you always were prepared to keep me safe. Remember when we went jet skiing and you called it jet falling 'cause we couldn't stand up straight? You told me life was like a balance beam; falling wasn't as scary as it seems, & that the scariest part was the wait. I swear I can still hear you though I&

The Invisible Teardrop

This is for a good friend of mine who I lost too soon. I just realized I've never posted it anywhere. The ocean hides the teardrop that you never showed to me Sometimes I try to visit you by going to the sea The water seems endless as waves crash to the shore And separate drops join into one splash and I can't find them anymore And so I am reminded of how you always hid your tears Behind forced smiles and claims that you hadn't cried in years. And so today I dig through the sand continuing my search I'd give anything to dry that tear that tore you from this Earth. Your war with this world has come to an end, but you've left so much here with me And wherever you are, I hope it's peaceful. Peaceful like the sea.

Let Me Save You Part 2 (another poem made with the use of Andrew McMahon titles)

This one's for you... You know who you are. I was a hostage with a restless dream to wake up and explore You traveled 'round the globes and maps just to open my locked doors. You unraveled my racing thoughts, casting lines into my mind Unlike the people running at full speed, leaving me behind. You found me as a broken bird who could never watch the sky You're the astronaut who released me and taught me how to fly I lived but a little piece of life until you rescued me I knew nothing of American love 'til you let me see all the thrills I was deprived of 'til your life with me you shared You took me dancing with a gun and I wasn't even scared. You said "I want to save you." Well, your wish has come true I'm ready for the world now 'cause I can spin through it with you.
