A Warm and Sweet Escape
The words “I love you” mean so much
Those words definitely do not carry a simple meaning…
Before you came into my life and captured my heart and my soul
I believed that love was a fixation only the foolish dreamt about
I never believed that “true love” existed and could possibly make a person whole
My opinion on love was nothing but pure doubt
Sure I had my share of hopes and dreams about finding my one and only love
My other half… My soul mate…
The one that was sent for me from up above…
The person that was destined to...

Finding Your Place in This World
Everyone tries to find their place in this world, but no one really has a certain place.
Life isn’t about finding your place amongst humanity.
Life is about creating yourself.
Trying to fit in, with what the world has created, is insanity.
There has to be room for creativity in one’s own self.
Without one’s imagination, life would be monotonous.
The world would just be plain black and white.
The lack of “color” would be the world’s weakness.
Do not give up this fight!
The fight for individuality.
The world would be dull and dreary...

A Best Friend Lost
She walks down the narrow road and into a small graveyard at twilight.
She knows it is getting late, but she is drawn to the grave of her best friend, and cannot leave…
She was her best friend.
The only one she trusted enough to tell all her secrets to.
Together, everywhere, they would attend.
She kneels in front of the headstone and begins to weep.
“How could this have happened?! Why couldn’t it have been me instead,” she cried.
The memories of her friend, she will forever keep.
The most depressing memory, though, shall always be the day...

Imperfections
The little things, that make us different, separate us from the world.
The world sees imperfections in a way that make us want to hide our own.
We see our flaws right down to the bone.
We fight to hide our flaws every day…
Looking to hide our imperfections in each and every way.
We were crafted out of clay,
So weren’t we made to be this way?
At least for a reason?
Just like each season?
Our flaws and imperfections are what make us unique in our own little fashion.
We each have our own different passion.
Imperfections...

Him
He never fails to make me smile.
Just listening to his voice is worth the while.
Every word spoken through his ever sweet and loving lips is carried out as if it were a beautiful song.
These feelings, that I feel deep inside, cannot be wrong.
I loose myself within the wondrous depths of his magnificent eyes.
The only thing that escapes from my mouth are sighs.
The sighs of true hunger and pleasure.
He is, by far, my greatest treasure.
When I fall into his strong embrace, it is as if I am in a far distant land.
Where there is...

A Love Lost
The man walks to the nearby cemetery.
He never thought he would be here…
At least not for his love that has been lost.
He lays a beautiful, rich, red rose on the grave of his beloved.
“Oh, why did this happen,” he cries.
He feels so unloved.
His tears begin to fall where the rose now lies.
Sorrow and despair begin to consume him.
He now carries, as a burden, the weight of this depression on his shoulders.
She vanished from his life on a whim.
He has lost the only thing he has ever truly loved.
He can’t ever feel the warmth...

The Desire to Be Normal
Everyone has this desire to be normal,
But what does being normal really mean?
This burning desire that we have inside, to be a certain standard, gets us nowhere,
But, yet, we still cave to the world’s dare.
The dare to be different from humanity.
To abide by everyone’s standards is pure insanity.
We long to be ordinary.
It is a burden we all carry.
How can we crave this,
Like we would a lover’s kiss?
It has to come to a halt.
This is beginning to develop into a cult.
Taking over the minds of the young, ...

Out of My Reach
I see you,
But you are out of my reach.
I try...
And I try...
But it never seems to be enough,
Because, you have yet to be in my arms.
You are out of my reach.
The tears I cry are from the pain.
The pain I feel when I am no longer with you.
The light is gone,
The warmth that I once felt,
Is no where to be found.
And all I can see is this darkness.
This never ending black abyss.
But you are out of my reach.
I try...
And I try...
But it never seems to be enough,
Because, you have yet to be in my arms.
You are out of my reach.

The pain I feel when I am no longer with you.
The light is gone,
The warmth that I once felt,

And all I can see is this darkness.

I Lie Awake
I lie awake this very night,
Thinking about us…
How everything between us has turned out just right.
We have been through so much together.
Nothing has managed to tear us apart.
Not even this bad “weather”…
I lie awake this very night,
Remembering every fight that we have ever struggled through.
We have made it out of the darkness and into the light.
Overcoming our struggles and hardships are something that we do.
We have made it through…
I gaze at the beautiful handmade ring.
The ring that you gave me when you...

How Can I Go On?
How can I go on living every day the way I do,
And living without you?
The tears are now streaming down my face.
How could they have come,
And where from?
Who are you to make me shed these tears?
So full of sorrow...
So full of the aching need to be with you...
This ever growing ache in my chest is begining to consume me,
Or maybe it already has.
The pain I feel without you at my side is never resting.
As long as you are not around,
My happiness is nowhere to be found.
What happiness I do have lies with you.
And living without you?
The tears are now streaming down my face.
How could they have come,
And where from?
Who are you to make me shed these tears?
So full of sorrow...
So full of the aching need to be with you...
This ever growing ache in my chest is begining to consume me,
Or maybe it already has.
The pain I feel without you at my side is never resting.
As long as you are not around,
My happiness is nowhere to be found.
What happiness I do have lies with you.
