Poems I've written:

Reflections:

I don't profess to have a cute giggle
Or even magnetic eyes
I'm not a flirt, a tease, and my hips
don't wiggle
Nor do I fit the "ideal size"
My voice isn't deep and soothing
Not exactly what you'd call perky or fun
Though you might find my personality moving...
And you should see me run!

My hair never stays in one place
My lips have been described as small
I'm not aware of style or grace
But at least I can claim to be somewhat tall
I wish I could sing beautifully like a bird
Unfortunately I can't sing a recognizable note

I'm sweet or so I've heard...
And just wait til you read what I wrote

Nervous and short are my smiles
Shyness seems to be my creed
My limbs seem to go on for miles
and my love is all you'd need.

Wash Away:

The sky opens up to have its say
Sheets of water pour down
To wash me away

Is the sky crying for me?
Or mocking these steady tears?
As it is getting more difficult to see

Wash me away,knock me down
Remeber the foundation?
I'm rooted in the ground

Dear sweet lightning please strike
Light up the world
So I can see my options for life

I'm waiting for the thunder clap
To drown out my inner scream
I'm caught in a trap...
And trying to live inside a dream.

Forever Friends:

We used to be the three amigos
Stuck together with glue
Where I go, you go, she goes...
Now we're the dynamic duo

You didn't want to only be a driver
I don't recall hailing a cab
We're both reaching for something higher
and enjoying what we already have.

When Feelings Fade:

That song's still playing on the radio
Liner notes are scattered across the floor
The words may remain unchanged
But I'm not singing them anymore

I never want to be a prelude or a segueway to
something better
Even though I'm a lyric few would quote
I never promised to be a chart-topper or trendsetter
Still, our song is something I'm glad we wrote

We want to go on as though it's all the same
But if you really listen, you can hear the track skipping
We shouldn't have to settle for the mundane
We should be flying together instead of tripping

Where do we go when the feelings fade?
It's time to pack the memories away
Let a new tune be made...
A fresh chorus for another day.

Birthday Blues

My pleas are falling on deaf ears
I'm blowing out candles
Nobody cares

When people sing the birthday song
I want to blush or hide
But now the fighting is going on
And maybe I want those singers by my side

Where are all the streamers?
Invisible are all the baloons
I don't reacall inviting the screamers or the loons

The Biggest Fear

The roads are all fuzzy up ahead
I force my foot to push the pedal down
While my head is swimming and My heart is filled with dread

People yell, "Stop! Don't go"
they lecture "ease up, you're a little too fast"
then it's, "you can still be cautious without being so slow!"

The plastic card digs painfully into my side
While my fingers are clenched on the wheel
I will never get used to controlling the ride
And while In all probability I'll be safe, that's not how I feel.

I refuse to acknowledge the other things I could do
Even though the thought of driving makes me want to cry
Why doesn't it bother you????
Why do I keep thinking I'm going to die?

Cyber Space Crush

I dream about you all day
Though I've never felt your touch
I really couldn't even say...
Why you mean so much

I've memorized your face
from a grainy scanned picture
We've never been in the same place
I'm not sure you even know I'm here

Why do I think about you all night?
Why does my mind think you're there...
When my fingers feel to the right...
to the side of a bed that has always been bare?

Dancing Shadows:

Memories
Dancing Passing Shadows
That come and go as they please
Real Images Appear
Were they only dreams?
Now they seem so hazy
When once they seemed so clear
Pictures from the past
Play inside each head
Some memories are alive again
Others now are dead.

Tell The News, Not All Life Is Violence:

Even when far apart
Two souls are guided by heart
The longer they stay away
The more they will have to say
Through tears and stormy weather
Two joined friends are hard to sever
And while eventually they must stray...
A Goodbye never means forever
