There are boxes on shelves,
they litter my mind.
I sift through them sometimes,
too see what I find.
Hurts, disappointments,
friends and lost loves.
A girl I can't remember,
rises over lifes shoves.
A mother, a wife,
she's a lover, a friend.
Broken and battered,
fighting so life won't end.
I rattle my boxes,
see what will fall out.
Spent dreams and desires,
landing all about.
I look on in wonder,
at all of my past.
Tangled around me,
I touch broken parts.
But then I look deeper,
a smile warms my heart.
I find laughter and love,
hopes, dreams, second starts.

About this poem:
I guess that this poem describes those moments in time, when we look back at all the baggage we carry, and how we attempt to compartmentalise it, to reduce its effect of our present lives

I Miss you
A little too much
A little too often
And a little more every day
Thinking of you
I miss you

I miss
I miss the heart that says
the loveliest words
I miss the hair that every woman is envious of
I miss you and every moments
that comforts me
in times of despair
I miss every part of a second I
spent with you
I miss the laugh that I rejoice at
I miss the tears that call on me to wash
I miss the smell
Oh, that pleasant odor
I miss you far and even more
when you are near
I miss the letters that you wrote
I miss that words you repeat
I miss the first time
when you said you loved me
I miss the times when I had to apologize
for being unkind to you
I miss the times when you forgive me
I miss the colors that you like
because I don't
see them anymore
I miss your name so much
I repeat it to myself everyday
I miss the dreams that we dreamt of
I miss the hopes that we hoped
together
I miss the wishes you made for me
I miss the gifts you gave me
I miss the kindness that
no one else can show
I miss the happiness you can bring
I miss the heart that was so
big that it can love the whole world
I miss the sweet voice that heals my wounds
I miss everything about you
Days passes me by and they seem like ages
I don't feel anymore
I can't hear anymore
I can't smell anymore
Life has no taste
Darkness prevails
But what keeps me holding
myself together is only one thing
I miss you

I am giving you this ring as a promise to you
That no matter what, I will always be here and I will always be true
For you, I would walk a thousand miles and more
Just to see your beautiful smile that I absolutely adore
I promise that I will make you smile when you feel like crying
I promise that I will comfort you if you feel like dying
I promise to steal away your every sorrow and fear
I promise to wipe away your every tear
I promise to cherish every minute I spend with you
Until the daylight sky is no longer the color of blue
Without your love, I do not know what I would do
I will not have a future unless it involves you
You've changed me for the better and I have never been so happy
Now, with you in my life, I can't picture a world without you and me
Fate decided it was time for us to be together
And though our time here on Earth is short, I promise I want you always and forever
I promise that no matter what may happen we will make it through
Please take this ring as a symbol of the love I will always have for you

Floating, heart askew
In the dark deep tunnel of nothing
Claw with every cell of me
Reach out for anger greed sorrow
Not the alone gray empty
Tiny shred of light
I wait for, hope for
A delusion there to help
Hold my hand tighter
Around the severing rope
My only tie to the world
A better life, twinkle dust
Of joy, love, a home
No more tears, aching soul
For a touch to hold on
Until then hope for, wait for
The tiny shred of love.

., in my sleep,
when I met an angel,
he kidnapped me from my dream,
flew with me through time and space,
the years passed, we came forward,
there we saw an old man,
the head so bald, the eyes very dull,
one recognized a broken mind,
he knelt in front of an old stone,
surrounded by grass, and cleaned it clean,
Tears fell on the stone,
he wiped them away and they came back
he looked up but did not see me
looked the angel directly in the face,
his eyes filled with terror,
Memories came, you saw them,
he stretched out his hands towards the creature,
he began to tremble, and then to plead:
"I knew you a long time ago,
you have freed me from a dream,
I dreamed of love, and happiness for two,
but I lived in solitude,
You wanted to give me liberation,
the prospect of a beautiful life,
but you brought me pain,
have snatched away my little heart,
If I had the choice, I could decide again
I would rather live with all my suffering! "
The angel looked at me questioningly,
I recognized the question, I was this man,
now located in front of the stone,
which once was his heart.

EVERY MORNING IS A NEW MORNING
and EVERYDAY IS A NEW DAY
and EVERY NIGHT IS A NEW NIGHT
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD LOVE MORE
AND EVERY ROSE IS A NEW ROSE
and EVERY FULL MOON IS A NEW MOON
and EVERY SKY IS A NEW SKY
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD RISK MORE
AND EVERY HEARTBEAT IS A NEW HEARTBEAT
and EVERY BREATH IS A NEW BREATH
and EVERY SMILE IS A NEW SMILE
BUT STILL
I WISH THAT I COULD BE MORE

About this poem:
Blowing through heaven and earth, and in our hearts and the heart of every living thing, is a gigantic breath—a great Cry—which we call God. Plant life wished to continue its motionless sleep next to stagnant water, but the Cry leaped up within it and violently shook its roots: “Away, let go of the earth, walk!” Had the tree been able to think and judge, it would have cried, “I don’t want to. What are you urging me to do! You are demanding the impossible! But the Cry, without pity, kept shaking its roots and shouting, “Away, let go of the earth, walk!”
Animals appeared--worms--making themselves at home in water and mud. "We're just fine here," they said... But the terrible Cry hammered itself pitilessly into their loins. "Leave the mud, stand up, give birth to your betters!"... And lo! after thousands of eons, man emerged, trembling on his still unsolid legs... He has been fighting, again for thousands of eons, to draw himself, like a sword, out of his animalistic scabbard. He is also fighting--this is his new struggle--to draw himself out of his human scabbard. Man calls in despair, "Where can I go? I have reached the pinnacle, beyond is the abyss." And the Cry answers, "I am beyond. Stand up!"

today i stand up with so many
with the proud colors behind me
as there was no time to think but the under standing of
who we , they , them are
as i looked up and down i see so many happy.
for what they are standing for.
we , they , them are not any different but so many are afraid
y i dont know but im not one of THEM

Even though we are miles apart
You are never far from my heart
I loved you then
I love you now
It's always when and
Never how
Take me back to yesterday
All the wonderful things you had to say
I loved you then
I love you now
It's always when
And never how
I see your eyes
I feel you near
Although you're not
Really here

Silent shadows
running thru everglades,
Silence molds clouds
all-day
Silent moonlight
bouncing thru cypress trees,
Silence swings low thru
the gate
Yet
when my heart
is with you
its shield breaks
oh Lord how it breaks
in the most
tender way.
Silent snowflake
falling like a dancing ghost
Silence two steps across
the lake
Silent stones
cobble no thoughts,
Silence gives my heart
away
