adjhe Poetry (528)

Another year
Another dream
Aim your goals
as high as you can
Make sure their
attainable for you
to reach the
simple things
in my life make
you happy.
The simple things
are what you
need in life.

For today a man
I never knew
Blessed me with
his presence
Complimenting me
of my poetry.
Telling me i could
be so special
down the road.
Telling me he
could help
me turn into
the person
i always wanted
to be a
WRITER.
Never thought it
could happen for me.
Thank you for my
answer to a dream
i have had for
a lifetime.
You never knew
that is what you
are doing today.
Thank you and
I am so glad
you told me this
is possible for
my life .
Thank you for
putting energy
into my dream.

Distorted images in my mind
To many images i can not find
Which one is real I do not know
Which one is me i can not find
To many images running to and fro
To images how do i know which
one is the real me
The person person i want to be
The one i want to put out to
The world the one i want
All To See.

The trees are
covered with a
thin layer of
LACE as if to
be clothed from
their nakedness.
The snow flows
from the sky
glistening in
the moonlight.
Lighting the street
as if to silhouette
the couple.
Setting the mood
as if out of a
ROMANTIC novel.
The wind blows
setting nature's
orchestra in
full swing.
The mood is set
NATURE has done
it's part now it's
their turn.

A man with a heart
is all i see the
man on the outside
who is he, for it is
a dream for the heart
to be real and
genuine.
no worrying
just a safe
peace of mind.
For his inside
and outside
seem to match.
For soon others
will see that.
For this is not
a dream it is a
piece of reality
letting everyone
know he is whole.
Take a look
without seeing
the face and you
will come to the
same conclusion
he is a man of a
special kind a man
with a beautiful
heart and mind.

For day dreaming
is what i do
setting here
thinking of you.
Wondering if this
is true.
For in this
Fantasy you can
be what you
want to be.
Yet who is
coming through.
Who is the real me
shining on the
outside and in
is the real me
just ready to begin.
For at the times
i see i want be
another someone
yet is that person
real or fantasy.
Today i look in the
mirror and see
the real person
that is me.

For in the lines
of the internet
a friendship has
developed here.
It seems like
all my walls
are down.
For the real
person can come
out protected
by the screen
for not another
in front of me.
No one can see
the real me.
Now i can be
who i am ME.
I always try to
put the right foot
forward, but shyness
loneliness seems to
pull me back.
Make me longing
for a friendship
more yet scared
to open that door.
Tonight i let the
wall down just
the screen be that
invisible shield to
protect me on the
inside until i am
comfortable to let
it come down.
Letting me come
face to face
with you at last.

Life is a jungle
with no direction
just a maze.
You must travel down life's road
not knowing where to go.
Being careful not to get caught
in life's traps and obstacles.
Every so often
you get a helping hand
reaching out to you.
Just reach out and take that
hand up saying thank you.
Maybe they know the way.
Keep your eyes open
traveling forward
never letting yourself
get a s t r a y.
Just go onward
Upward today
and every day.

God sent an angel
Long before i was born
God decided
That angel would be a father
He made him real tall
He made him strong
He made him a child at heart
He made him always cheerful
He gave him a sweet tooth
He showed him the woman
He would love forever
They had children
The angel loved them
More then anything
God brought his angel home
The wife
The children
The parents
The sister
The aunts
The uncles
The cousins
Shall always remember
God sent an angel
Then he brought him home

In the muck i sink deeper down
as if i am drowning
can't anyone throw me a line.
Further down i go and it gets
darker as i go down deeper
into the quicksand feeling
it pulling me under.
reaching for the sides
trying to pull myself out.
The world adds a weight to me
and deeper i sink pulling
at the edge trying to see the light
at the end of this road yet
no one nobody encourages me
so deeper i sink.
Trying to get that energy to fight
one last time at the world.
Yet i go under gasping
for air wanting to live
but needing a reason.
For the world has said
goodbye to me so now i
relinquish my life
sink into it's will
my last breathe is taken
i bid you a farewell.

Falling asleep
dreaming of you
in my mind.
Holding onto a
fantasy if only
for a time.
The dream can
not be reality.
For it is not to be
there never will
be a you and me.
A life so different
from one another
a lavish life
is what is for thee,
but no mother or
family for me.
Yet i dream of a
real life of
an existence for
more then
meager rations.
A life where you
can see a real
existence for
YOU and ME.

The snow falls so softly
on the branches
as if to leave a
layer of lace
on natures canvas.
The trees seem to cover themselves
with the snow gliding
down from top of
the tree to the ground
that encompasses the trunk.
The snow glistens in
the moonlight as if
to make the tree shine
with dancing colors.
The wind blows
causing music to be
played throughout
the neighborhood.
It feels like nature's
canvas is dancing
for the world.
Silhouetting the couple
to produce a romantic scene,
as if out of a romantic novel.
