This is my page specifically for my poetry. I've lost a lot of them due to
natural disasters, computer disasters, and online disasters. Thankfully I
still have a few hard copies of some, however it may take me awhile to
update them all.
This page will continue to update until I die :P
Nieces Laughter and Friends Smiles
I sit here thinking of the past,
of things that were, and things that could of been.
I think of the things I've been through to make
me who I am, I cry as I remember.
Family lost, friends left, and wars fought.
I realize that no matter what hardships I
fought, I won. I often don't see it, but
when I'm sitting here watching my best friends
faces light up at a stupid comment I make, or when
I hear my nieces laughter float up to my ears after
I attack them with 'auntie kisses' I know I'm blessed.
I know that whenever in doubt that my life isn't going
the way I planned, I have these memories to remind
myself of all the things I am blessed with every day.
Not Enough Love
*To Mom, Cary, Krystal, Jammy, & Lindsey*
I want you to always know that my heart
will never be big enough to show you all the love
that you've shown me.
Yet, I will try in my actions, the things I do,
and the thoughts I have of you.
I love you with all of my heart, soul, mind, and body
and don't know how I can ever thank you for all
that you've done for me, other than to tell you:
I love you more than anyone could ever know,
and more than anyone could ever show.
How Does it Feel
It's not about the way you praise
or find ways to compliment me.
More about your want to know me,
and the fact you actually listen.
No matter how terrible my day was,
you know exactly what i need, without asking
It may not be love,
but baby, it sure feels right.
Guilty Pleasures
Sitting here in my car in the rain
watching the ocean waves break.
Singing to disney love songs on my stereo
while sippin' my strawberry/banana smoothie
...my guilty pleasures
Sleeping in a half an hour after the alarm
knowing the day is mine to make it.
Spending the afternoon in my pj's and slippers
playing video games and snacking on cheetos
...my guilty pleasures
Sitting here beside you, holding you close
with the sounds of the world around us
Looking into your eyes and watching you smile
and remembering that you are the one i love
...my guilty pleasures
Found Perfection
I've never wanted to be perfect.
With perfection comes change.
I am with I am, I'll never be different.
With me comes imperfections and flaws.
Then there was you.
When you came into my life,
my whole world altered around.
Never was I forced to change,
not once were my flaws challenged.
It was then that I began to realize,
It wasn't about changing to become perfect.
But finding the one who thought of me as such.
And that was what I found in you.
