IMiss You

The haunting slam wakes me each hour,

reminding me of what I lostAll my tears have proof,

I walk the streets hiding behind plastic smiles

Hoping no one sees what's truly in my eyes

I'm wasting my time, searching

for what I can't find - she's not out there -

No one else is good enough.

Her shoes just cannot be filled.

No other hug, touch, caress or kiss

can replace or even come

close to what I miss

Girls

I can't stand to be around you

Yet you still won't leave,Emotionally I hurt you, call you names,

And all the while you still shift the blame,

Get out, leave me alone, get away.

Don't ever come back

"Girls"!

Can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em.

She Doesn't Even Know

My secret admirer and I'm Mr. X

Like school yard children I leave notes-,

on her desk,I love her at least I think I do, andShe's my girl but she doesn't know it yet.

Oh no! She sees me, and she's coming over,

I hope it's not to talk to me, please God no.

Whewl She's gone and she still doesn't know.

Time

What once was

is now gone

but always here to stay

Reminding us of our own mortality

And how much we need to pray

Open Meadow

A sea of green

Is a colorful field

Children laugh and jump as themajestic and mysterious blue whales at play.

A precious and rare treat for all.

Poetry

Close your eyes and see with your heart,

Feeling a oneness with everything around youListen to silence and hear its beauty

For all of life's wonders are in what we

can't explain.

Fear

Fear grips the heart and nearly rips it

to piecesThese silent chains hold with an unbelievable

weight,

The anxiety, worry and uncertainty tell us

to run, but

curiosity keeps us in place.

I'm scared, I'm alone,

And I long for your warm embrace

The warmth the love, the melody of your

heartbeat stills, soothes me as if I were stillinyour womb,

You carried me and protected me

You nursed me and raised me

You taught me and loved me

and now I may never see you again

"You can make it" were your last words

and now the haughty echo through my mind

"I'll be back!" I promised

But my eyes said goodbye forever.
