Only Short Poems

I sit here staring into space
but all i see is your face

the memories that fill my heart
the still pictures a work of art

the thought of you tears at my soul
ive lost you now ill never be hole

the time has come to pay my dues
wish you could walk in my shoes

one things for sure you wouldn’t last
the pain inside from my past

you caused it all the pain the laughs and yes the tears
that all belongs to yesteryear’s

i thought i had moved on
and finally found where i belong

but every time i think the pain is gone for good
the pasts fire gets more wood

burning till pictures into me
so now i give give my final plea

leave me please alone broken
without any sore words spoken

Life…………
Sometimes you have to let go of the past and shame and move forward.
Darkness is overbearing, it taunts you and consumes your inner beauty.
Your world has collapsed.
You beg for help.
There’s no reply.
Do you relentlessly allow this behavior to devour your very soul or do you face the existence of life and set forward to a destination titled, “Future.”
I once believed it was fairly easy to feel emotionless and go about my day masked.

Today, my eyes awaken.
I take the rails of this ship and set my eyes upon the horizon.
I dream, how I missed this feeling.
I begin laughing uncontrollably, forgetting how the sound makes me feel.
Smiling.
Standing with my arms wide open, I allow the breeze to push against my body.
I feel. Oh, how I feel. This feeling, it’s contagious I tell you.
I look up at the sky, I swear it seems as if the clouds make out a butterfly.
I gasp, with my hand over my mouth and cry.
Cries of pure happiness. Butterflies have always symbolized beauty and being free.
My shoulders feel weightless.
“I’m ready.”

My best friend Caitlin,
she is so nice
but she doesn’t even know how to make ice.
Because she is so blonde…
She once did a dive into a pond.

My heart is crying,
my soul is dying,
yet I never once shed a tear.
You’re all around me,
I’m glad that you found me,
but please, forget I exist.

Love is not a day fool
love cant be judged quickly
its not a fairy tale to hear
it is like a sea wave to experience
love is not a iron rod to sink
its just like a ship to sail in the ocean
love is not a fish to catch
love is not a word to tell
love must come from their heart

Around the corner, down the street
I know you’ll always be there.
When I’m feeling down, with no one around
I know I can look to you.
When I need a hug, or need a friend
I don’t have to worry.
For when we met and became friends, I knew I wouldn’t be sorry.

Tonight, I have shed another tear,
As it may drizzle gently down my face
In reaction to why I called you here,
With a heart-felt feeling that cannot be replaced,
For a love greater than one can obtain;
To give a love stronger than the heart it resides,
And keep this memory that will remains
For the mentalities in which it presides.

With the discernment that I cannot bear,
The thought of not speaking with you
Is linking to a sentiment that I care,
Perhaps, that’s why I have done what I have to;
I know that I’m not the man from your finest dream,
But I am candidly able of becoming a man of yours;
There will be obstacles for us as it may not seem;
Take one at a time and love shall portray the course.

I hope I have touched you the way you have for me,
Because I have my cold feet in fear;
If I have offended you in anyway, I’m sorry,
Due to this very night, I have shed yet another tear.

For, I am on the verge of losing you;
Now, I’m lost and don’t know what to do:
This is no ordinary love, as you can see,
Because I’m falling in emotional agony;
My pride is getting melting like ice,
Since the moment you said love’s not nice.

Baby, don’t get me wrong,
I want to spend my entire life with you;
I don’t want to go back to being alone,
That’s something I just cannot do;
It’s hard enough to be me,
But not with you,
Because you fill me with gee.

You left me without a word to say,
Just hurting me each and everyday;
Don’t get me wrong, you’re beautiful,
But sometimes, you can be rude;
Disrespecting everything I do,
When I do it all for you.

The right to vote for change,
And to improve a great nation,
By electing someone not too strange
With this may take a bit of patience.

Ooh, it feels so good…

To work for such an honest living,
Providing for your children and self;
As you punch hours well given
Making brighter tomorrow by all else.

It’s home again…

Good feelings I feel inside
Are real even through we don’t see them
This comfort of pride
And I call it freedom…
