Dreams 09/11/02 A dream today is but what Life could be tomorrow. Sometimes but an illusion That fills the empty spaces In our minds. Sometimes an illusion That promises hope But rarely keeps its word. A dream, Is what some people do, To keep themselves Away from reality. And yet to some, Dreams are what inspire. Dreams propel us forward To strive and achieve To scale those peaks To fulfill tomorrow.

Show Them 09/16/02 Within us, is a soul. Within the soul, resides truth. Within the heart, is love fettered. Within the mind, are thoughts aswirling, Minor and major, Petty and trivial, Profound and prosaic, Good and bad. All man kind alike. Sift and sieve, Or else lie hidden, Locked forever, Unknown to all, lies the treasure within. Reach within, Define your soul, Seek within, Discover the truth. Open your heart, And, Radiate love.   Many people think they will not be accepted if they act like who they truly are; but its not right to do that. If people cannot accept you for who you are, then you don't need those "unwanted" people in your life.

Truth 10/04/02 If happiness made a difference, Then I would change. If sadness meant anything I would be a dictionary. But nothing of the above Makes a difference to me... Nothing ever said or done Made a difference to me... Not after the way we ended. Not after the things you said. You tore my heart And this time it can't be sewn Back together. My heart is numb now. My heart is worthless. Will I ever love again? Will I ever open my heart To anyone? Will I ever go back to being the old me? I wonder sometimes... Did I ever know "you"? Did I realize the truth of pain? Did I ever know the meaning of love... I am not a heart broken puppy, Like I seem to be... This break up has made me stronger This has made me a better person... May be not for others... But I think I know myself... The numbness is fading... The happiness is invading, The sorrow is retreating... And I am becoming me...

That Guy 11/06/02 There are a million butterflies In your tummy? Have you ever seen that smile Which makes your legs wobble? Have you ever looked into Those eyes, which know you so well... And yet have no clue you're feeling? I have. Have you ever smiled before He kisses you... Knowing well your night ahead? Have you ever felt like saying sorry, Even if it wasn't your fault... Just so that you can end the fight And be with him again? I have. Have you ever trusted someone, Only suspecting they'll betray you? Have you ever had someone laugh at you, Even when they know how it feels To be laughed at? Have you felt a need for the guy who Did all this to you...? Even though he made your legs wobble, And made you see the butterflies; And even though he betrayed you, And laughed right into your eyes... Have you ever felt the great need, Of wanting him, needing him back...? Have you ever felt the want and need... Of loving him...? I have.

This Life Of Ours 11/15/02 I blew it. I tore us apart. I know this sounds crazy after, All I've said and done, But I'm still in love with you. I always will be. I belong to you. Yet we go out with other people, And claim to love them more, Whitest the truth gives us looks, That we most often ignore. May be this was meant to happen... Maybe we were supposed to break up... And then magically come back together... Maybe love will find us worthy, And choose us. Maybe life will take a turn Into our lane. Maybe Cupid just ran out of arrows. Maybe...   We're good together, You and me. No one can change that. We're friends now aren't we? We're close aren't we? We're in love... Aren't we?

If I'm A Friend 12/18/02 'Take life as it comes... Let it surprise you.' Say bye as it goes, And don't look back. Don't stop, Because you won't be waited for. And smile because It's the only way to happiness. Don't give up you'll never Reach the end... Don't cry all the time, Let them hear your sweet laughter. Don't risk losing it all... Trust, and be trusted. And you'll know who to not. Love, and be loved, And you'll know when to stop. Laugh, and share your happiness With me... And I shall have my dream come true. Love me, thats all I ask of you. Trust me, if you find me worthy. I promise that I'll stand by you. And I'll hold your hand, And give you my heart, But all, If I'm a friend.

01/06/03 Another year gone by, Another lover done with. Another time will fly by, And only I will be left, to shed my tears and cry. Another year gone by, And I'm not all alone. I'm thinking of all the things I could've done, But it's too late now... Another year shines upon me, And I'm still smiling. Another year smiles upon me, And I can't find my tears. Another year laughs with me, And my stomach starts to hurt. Another year dawns upon me, And I hold my head up high and say, This is year will be good... but then again, it shall be like every other year... It shall bring tears to my eyes, And laughter to my mouth. It shall bring happiness to my body, And sorrow to my heart. It shall bring me so many things I don't remember asking for... But it shall bring me one fulfilled dream... It will bring me you.

To Him 01/19/03   Seeing you again, Makes my eyes fill with tears. Seeing your smile, Makes my heart truly melt. Now, Your voice is the only thing I hear. When I see you now, I only wish I could hold you, And say that you were mine. I wish that I could love you, Even more than I can define. I wish, though, most of all, That together we will be, Our love unexpressable by words... Our feelings shared With emotions but no fears. Wherever you are, Whatever you say, My unconditional love for you, Will refuse to go away.

Pink Roses In An Empty Hand 07/06/03 So in love, he could only dream. So much faith, he could only believe. So much life, he could barely breathe. He looked down to see pink roses in an empty hand. So sorry was he, he regretted his mistake. So depressed was he, he wished hard for his old life, So sorry was he, he asked softly for her... Yet when he looked down, he only saw pink roses in an empty hand. "Illusions", his drunk mind claimed, was all she was. "A Witch" his heart claimed, for she'd cast an evil love spell on him. "Cupid" he claimed, was the devil's cherub with poisoned arrows. Yet he cried out her name, And wished she heard his calling. Yet when he looked down, he saw those pink roses in his empty hand.

Christmas Love 01/02/04 In a place far from Bethlehem, A place where everyone still believed in him, The old lady sat, And clutched to her heart the cross of his love. The wind was cold, The air was hostile, The flowers stayed wrapped up in their buds. The children were soon about the streets, The shops overflowing with Christmas shoppers, The old lady sat and observed... Suddenly there was a young lad at her side, Who had seen five or six springs. "Where is your grand-baby?" he asked her. She just stared at him Not knowing who he was or what he wanted with her. The boy turned and ran upon hearing his name being called. The old lady's empty eyes filled up with tears... Who was that lad? That innocent angel from heaven? It was Christmas day and the old lady sat there, Observing the people around her. The old lady sat, And tried to absorb some of the happiness... The feeling of belonging... Suddenly there was a group of people in front of her And they were singing carols...for her. Water trickled down her already tear-stained cheeks... Her skin was old but soft; Dirty but familiar... After they had finished, The very same lad from the previous day Came up to her and gave her a present. He hugged her and said, "Merry Christmas!" The people then left, And the lady was left alone to get lost once again in her thoughts... She past away a few days after the breaking in of the new year... But they say she had a smile on her lips, and her hand was on her heart... Inside her left jacket pocket, was a paper that read, "When God installed the gift of life in me, He never warned me about the little angel Who would see me through my last few days... Thank you." That little boy touched that old lady's heart... He gave her joy and love and eased the pain of reality... Whose heart will you touch?
