There are moments when I think about telling people I care about them. I think about that phrase as I wander through the crowd of the street market, stroll in the park listening to the rustling of leaves, or when I’m just by myself, laying on my back and listening to songs that remind me […]
It was, Serendipity
The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
my Brave Heart fueling
a life in the City of Angels
as I am Sleepless in Seattle
I wonder, if I could Say Anything
Would it be heard, or leave me a Ghost
Trying to nurture this Garden State
Trapping myself in Wonderland
perhaps making me a Patriot
or a poet, like Shakespeare in Love
maybe […]
Love’s foundation
Granite mountains broken
Sand flowing like water
A Fire ignited
Raging nature completed
Life being consumed
Creation destroys
Vibrant hope turned gray
Death building the new
Sky falls
Earth Flies
Eternity stands
Once,
before I learned to doubt
I was free
Beyond the constraints of reality
And living in the substance of imagination
I was
Simply defined
A true spirit who did not know
How far my world would allow me to travel
Before finding myself, simply unique
No one
Understood
The deep passion in my breath
The heartfelt charity I would never regret
Yet I was simply me, an individual […]
Her name,
I wish that I knew her name
She was beautiful
With a friendly smile
And a laugh that made me feel
Yet when I heard her voice
My words became silent
So quiet that I wondered
Why my heart hesitated
And I was left with pause
‘Without doubt’ I thought
Would I ask her name
Yet I would not realize my delay
As the blinking action […]
I tried,
Again and again
Harder
Than ever
More feverishly than before
I pushed myself
Beyond my limit
Past the point of no return
And yet I did not stop
My heart
Everything from skin to soul
The very fiber of me
Was trying
To believe in something
No one else could see
Even my breath
Deep and constant
Fueled my urge
To move forward
To define a world
That could never be
More inspiring
I, am the one person who will never regret the memory of your words
the way you cared, the brief moment you let your guard down
My eyes, would not betray a heart as simply devoted as I let myself be
they would not disbelieve the wonder and imagination you let me see
Oh if, if only you could […]
