Poems: March Revival

I never understood love until I met you
and I was never in love until I met you
I never dreamed of being in love like I am with you
and when we were together I never dreamed I'd ever love anyone else

I learned a lot about love from you
and a lot about hearts
I've learned a lot about dreams
And a lot about time changing things

and somehow, since you've been gone,
this time around,
I can breathe again
somehow
I can dream again of other things
And understand, without too much pain,
that time will change
and just because we want it to be
doesn't necessarily mean we'll be together forever.

I’ve learned that
time has changed us, and always will
it's inevitable

And we can’t control time or love
though time will never change my love for you

lives change

dreams drift away

guilt consumes me

stress overcomes my mind

concentration is nonexistent

so many distractions

as the words attempt to appear

out of the cloudy thoughts in my mind

pen to paper

mind to matter

and the concentration continues to waive

I look up and once again

our eyes meet and soon…

nothing else matters.

Impression (15 March 2007)

Closer to God

and comfortable with myself…

A stress free life

leads me to believe I need

to change something

Something’s telling me

to take a load off

clear things off my plate

re-evaluate the important things in my life

And I have discovered that you are

                and so is HE

school and family mean so much

so much more than work

What does that say about me?

What does that tell you about the kind of person that I am?

15 March 2007

So many pages, so little time

so little inspiration

the thoughts linger in my mind

the feelings exist

the words slowly appear before me.

With great difficulty

I attempt to express

the love that I feel

the happiness within

and the confusion, the frustration

that constantly lingers

somewhere in the cobwebs

                of my clouded mind
