The Tree

We were young so our playground was a tree, we learnt how to play and grow with the tree.
The tree was left on it’s own, but we both knew it was home, Thanks to the tree we both found home.
She would sit under the tree reading a book and watching me. Me I would look at her and look at the tree.
The wind blowed under the tree where she used to be, but now the leaves have left the tree and her shadow can be seen.
Now the tree is no more and is the one I adore; I sit down where the tree would be lost two great things dear to me.
So I got up and went in my pocket you see, pulled something out just wait and see.
See it’s a seed, what a wonder that tree will be.

In the beginning

As soon as you pray it echoes
only God consumes its meaning
in this tall room with high rafters
once built for reverence

There's a small bell in the corner
it is chiming in the morning draught
I imagine a spirit still resides here
in this once loved sanctuary

Weddings and funerals all passed
ceremonies for the masses
we watch the candles burn
sunlight through the panes

Salvation may be hidden
in the mysteries here, for all I know
I turn a page and read
"In the beginning.."

So in Love with You

I am so in love with you
I think I've lost myself
I don't know what to do
I've put you on a shelf

I know you're all that's real
And that you're the only one
Who can take away the gray
Before my world comes undone

All it takes is your smile
To banish all the pain
All it takes is your laugh
And I'm happy again

With eyes like a tiger
And a smile like a child
Your "soul" burns like a fire
So untamed and so wild

I'm safe wrapped in your arms
Through the feeling of your embrace
We've got each others back
I know we'll last the race

Running through the mist
We hold each others hand
Always seeking the truth
In dangerous land

And I know no matter what
Even when we're near death
We'll always be together
Until our dying breath

About this poem:
This was inspired by my boyfriend. :P It's really lovey-dovey, it references the "souls" but I used the word, not out of religious belief, but out of lack to describe it as anything else that better fits the description of how it seems. lol! Hope you guys like it better than my last one... :O

Meeting Again

Resting in my chair at last
After the morning repast
Pondering what to do this day
Thoughts of you did pass my way

Smiling as I recalled that day
When we first met and talked away
And the evening hours melted away
Gone too soon dare I say

Now waiting patiently for the days to pass by
While I conjure clever ways to plan a call
To meet again somewhere close by
Not too soon or not at all

I will take my time to plan
.So I will not fail to meet again
This fine lass I have met so I might woo her best I can
When I see her once again

About this poem:
I met a lady recently and was resting the next day and decided that I would like to meet her again. This is a little fun thing about the thought surrounding the desire vs the trepidation of when is the right time after that first encounter to make contact

**Color Me

Hindered, butterfly lips
Caress periods of solitude in my waking dreams
Of you
Echoes of late night parking lot shoulder stares
In the hour glass blares
Choking my dry throat – comatose
When I want to crawl inside you to escape the cryptic sunrise
When I want to be beneath you
Weathering out the disaster
My world
Outstretched arms to feel the wind
Flying dragon kites into the tree of you
When I want to be with you
Tasting your brown sugar skin until I die a diabetic
The pathetic monotonies of this love-sick fool
The cruelty of weathered limbs
Keeping my head under water
When I’m caught in the outlines of your coloring book depiction
Longing for waxen tones to fill beyond my lines
Color me
Color me
Color me inside out

All of Our Lives are Planned

Walking down my road one day I see a little tree,
It seems so lost and alone, it reminds me of… me,
Not really having a place in this world, not knowing what to do,
But sure to grow up big and strong, this I know is true,
Feeling small and in the way of everyone around us,
Seeming like a pesky insignificant piece of dust,
Finally growing up into a beautiful adult,
Realizing that everything that happens is not always our fault,
Knowing that no matter what we have a place on this earth,
If we didn’t why would god have made us from his hearth?
Apparently we have a reason for being created,
But right now we’ll just have to wait and try to not feel jaded,
None of us can tell the future and find out what’s to be,
We can’t unlock the door to it with a little key,
That little tree reminded me of who and what I am,
That every thing on this earth has its life planned.

Yes I do

Wake up
Middle of the night
Sitting up
A likkle bit uptight
Cos it ain’t right
Me here
You there
And still I see the bigger picture
Like truth resonates when it hits ya
Still
It won’t be long
Before we’re singing our song
The way I feel right now nothing can go wrong
This rhythm of life’s beat playin n I dance along
With a heart big like King Kong
And high on your energy like smoking a bong
I’m so into you
You took ma soul n made it feel new
You showed me da real deal
Now I smile like da kid wid da happy meal
Because
I Love you
I Love you
I do
On ma mind when I go to sleep at night
In ma dreams it seems I wake with you holding me tight
Moulding me right
Such a beautyfilled soul
Feel so chilled when we’re alone
Lika place I can call home
So
Sexy n sweet
With eyes so piercing when they meet
Mine
And every moment in your presence just Divine
Giving me the energy to naturally shine
Bestie n best friend
Let this Love never end
When there comes a cork or a fork in the road let it bend
All I desire is to receive n send
More Love from ma heart
Over n over again
I Love you
I Love you
Yes I do
Yes it’s true
Coming in lika storm
All quiet at first I knew something wasn’t norm
1st eye wide open
Feeling Love vibration in the moment
No doubt your frequency rippled through me like potent
And omnipotent
Remaining calm
I stretched my arm
And you grabbed a hold
And I behold
As our story unfold
Like the rainbow n the pot of gold
I hit the jackpot
With what we got
Typical teenage fantasy
Manifested into reality
And it’s so Lovely
The way you kiss n you hug me
The way you caress n snug me
Puff puff pass n lug me
I’d be a mug me
To deny this here feeling
More than appealing
Like my heart you’re stealing
And every moment revealing
Deeper truth
Our connection ancient strong n true
Who knows the mission we gotta do
All I know is babygirl I do Love you
I Love you
I Love you
I do
I Love you
I Love you
Oh yes I do

Desire

You are my desire.
You put my heart on fire.
Whether I'm awake or asleep,
You are the one I want to keep.
I know in my heart,
I never want to be apart.
Each and every night,
I dream of you holding me tight.
Oh to be in your embrace,
As our hearts keep up the pace.

Hugs N Kisses
Kim

A Wonderful Woman!

Deserving of more than she will ever see.
Offering everyone she knows, respect and honesty.
Natural and smart she is, for all to admire.
No one will ever be as wonderul as you to desire.
Always so pretty, charming, and ever so true.
! God made a special woman in you.

Finding Your Way

Hearing of that beautiful sunset, you really haven't seen.
It's like the limited knowledge you have as a teen.
So caught up in the who you think you are.
Never truly listening or seeing what seems to be so far.
Like a baby who just wants to be happy and fed.
It seems so easy for our lives and minds to be led.
Then, as our minds starts to mature and grow
It's difficult to find someone who honestly wants to know.
Left with your heart, and a desire to learn
Understanding, feeling, and so much of concern.
Lonely as it seems, and empty as it can be
Keep being kind and patient for all to see.
Love and kindness is a better state of mind.
Understand and you make someone a great find.
Understanding and liking yourself, till fate finds a way
Into your heart one glorious and wonderful day.
