Poems: Remember When

And in death, we’ll remain forever

the dreams continue on
and I'm left standing here alone to find my own way
my head is killing me
and all i want to do is sleep forever
in your arms
with my body encircled with roses
and one single red rose
woven by the stem
through my fingers
folded over your soft, protecting hands
holding me together
for eternity...
in the midst of my confusion

Love you, Dearest

I can't get over the way I feel

I can't seem to let go of the pain

I can't seem to get you out of my mind

Surely, you will never leave my heart.

You've touched me forever,

leaving a mark on my hurting soul.

Past writings, I wrote dreaming of love.

But this is true,

this is real

this is what love really is.

I see you happy.

I hear you happier.

We touch, happiest.

Your touch is tender, sweet.

Your caress is gentle, sweeter.

Your kiss is soft, sweetest.

Sitting, closely.

Laying, closer.

Embracing, closest.

I like you, dear.

But I love you, dearest.

Remember When?

I remember when

I couldn’t wait to fall in love.

I remember when

There was this aching pain in my heart.

I remember when

It seemed like forever before I would fall in love.

I remember when

It seemed even longer before someone would fall in love with me.

But I didn’t know

Love is worth the wait.

I didn’t know

There is still an aching pain of wanting to be with you.

I didn’t know

That love was just around the corner.

And I didn’t know

That you were even closer.

I didn’t know

That love like this feels so special.

I didn’t know

It would be someone like you.

I didn’t know

There was so much that I didn’t know.

Now I know when you’re in love,

It’s more than knowledge, it’s a feeling.

I know when you’re in love,

You feel like you can fly.

I know when you’re in love,

You feel like you’re walking on air.

I know when you’re in love,

You feel like you can touch the sky.

I know I am in love,

Because my heart flutters when I hear your name.

I know I am in love

Because my heart races

when I hear your voice.

I know I am in love

Because I can’t wait to see you again,

I fall asleep thinking of you

I wake up thinking of you.

I know what I feel…

I want you to know what I feel,

I want you to know that I love you.

Changed, Forever

taken back several years

 where dreams existed

   without fear…

       people dream

until it’s taken away

   forced to take another path

   to follow another dream

     waiting for time to pass

so the pain can disappear

                    and new dreams will develop

    versions out of the old

                 like shadows looming over and

               covering the bright blue sky

          that create a darkness in the world

       that speaks for itself;

    a darkness felt by many

through their own emotional let downs

and physical restrictions

          people fight

          some will live

          and some will die

          and others, many, will never be the same

we’ll all be changed forever.
