Your Love

Your Love

Your gaze, it paints me sunrise hues,
Bathing doubts in golden beams.
My wings, once tattered, mend anew,
Soaring high, on confidence, it seems.
You whisper compliments, like whispered prayer,
To seeds of beauty slumbering within.
My heart, once shrouded, dares to wear
The brightest bloom, no darkness can contain.

This love, a tapestry of stars unknown,
Embroidered with whispers soft and slow.
A depth we plumb, where hearts have grown,
Beyond the shores where others cannot go.

Never thought, I’d sing such fervent song,
A melody with you, forever bound.
This love, it rights the every wrong,
A symphony, in you, my love, I’m found.

So hold me close, beneath the endless night,
Two souls entwined, a love untold.
Forever grateful for your guiding light,
In you, my love, my story has become gold.

Two Souls Collide

In shallow waters souls may graze,
Years spent wading in a friendly haze.
Laughter shared, and tales unfurled,
But oceans deep remain unpearled.

Then, a tide comes rushing in,
Whispers secrets on the skin.
Two souls collide, a spark ignites,
A supernova in shared sights.

No awkward pauses, no forced cheer,
Just kindred spirits drawing near.
Mirrored thoughts in whispered verse,
Understanding without rehearse.

Time loses grip, days weave like dreams,
In unspoken joys and silent screams.
No need to bridge the distant shore,
For sisterhood blooms at the ocean’s core.

So let the shallows play their part,
But hold true treasure close to heart.
For some connections, bound by fate,
Transcend the years, and rise above the gate.

And You Still Love Me

You Still Love Me 
I can tell you everything,  
All that's on my heart.  

You can see me cry,   
and  
Hear me laugh.  

You see my flaws,  
and  
My faults.  

And somehow still,  
You love me.  

I can tell you everything,  
All that's on my heart.  

You see me mad, 
And  
You hear me scream.  

You see my errors  
And  
You see my pain.   

And somehow still,  
You love me.  

I can be myself,  
As odd as I am.  
As kooky and bizarre as I am.  
And you love it all the same.  
That's what love is supposed to look like. 

Can’t We Be Friends

Can’t we be friends despite it all,
Despite the others, just you and me?
Can’t we forget the things that fall
Between us, and be happy free?

Forget the words we’ve said in spite,
The looks that hurt us, and the tears;
Forget the past, and let us write
A new and brighter page of years.

We’ve known the joy of friendship true,
And felt the warmth of love’s caress;
We’ve shared the sorrows and the dew
Of life, and known its bitter stress.

Why should we let the past destroy
The friendship that we hold so dear?
Why should we let the shadows cloy
The sunshine of our lives so clear?

Let’s rise above the petty strife
That clouds our lives with clouds of care;
Let’s clasp our hands and make a strife
Of love and friendship everywhere.

Let’s build anew our shattered dream,
And make our lives a thing of worth;
Let’s live for each other, and redeem
The past by love that knows no dearth.

Can’t we be friends despite it all,
Despite the others, just you and me?
Can’t we forget the things that fall
Between us, and be happy free?

Friends Whom I love

Friends whom I have loved, though that time has gone. 
Friends whom I still love, but they have turned cold.
I know not why they turned away,
Nor what has made them cold.

They used to smile and speak to me,
And now they pass me by.
I long to ask them why they frown,
But dare not ask them why.

I know not what I've done to them,
Nor what has made them grieve.
I only know that I am sad,
And they are cold and leave.

I wish they'd come and talk to me,
To bury whatever this pain is. 
I'd do anything to please them,
And make them friends again.

I'd give them all I have to give,
If only they would come.
I'd give them my heart and soul,
If only they would love me as they used to do.

For so long I waited, now my heart is cold as well. 
Though I still love, and pray for my parted friends, 
I must know when the time has come, to be them far well, and move on.

The Storm

The wind pushed the sand into my face.
It stings as it hits like tiny bites across my flesh
I can barely see the endless mounds of sand in front of me.
I close my eyes, sheltering me from the ongoing storm.

Nothing is there to stop the storm.
I push one foot in front of the other.
One hand blocking my face,
And the other reaches out, hoping someone is there to pull me along.

The winds pick up, they swirl around me.
 No matter how hard I try, I can’t move forward.
I kneel and cover my head with my hands,
In a desperate attempt to keep the sand off of my face.
I kneel there helpless and alone. 

Then a hand rests on my shoulder.
Someone kneels down behind me,
 and shelters me from the storm.

You Make Me Feel

You make me feel confident.
You make me feel like I can make a difference. 
You make me feel like what I do is important. 

You make me feel valued.
Like I can accomplish my goals.
Like my goals mean something. 

You make me feel talented.
Like what I write is good.
Like my writing is a worthwhile endeavor.

You make me feel complete.
Like I have been waiting my entire life for you.
Like my life finally makes sense. 


No one has ever done this for me before.

My husband Surprised Me

/ / 2 Comments

My husband surprised me one night when I was feeling really stressed and not good enough. He wrote
me a poem, and anyone who knows me knows that I love poetry. I in turn wrote one for him.

 I want you to know (From My husband to me)

I want you to know
I will always be here
Through good times
And the bad ones too
I will stand with you
I will love you
Until the end of my days
I want you to know
There is nothing in this world
That can change how I feel
How special you are
How lucky i feel to have you in my life
I want you to know.
Just how amazing you are
How much love you have in your heart
How talented you are
I want you to know
I love you babe

And this is the poem I wrote for him. (This is not the first one I wrote for him, but it made me feel so loved that he wrote one for me.

Poem about Shawn

I want you to know
How creative you are.
How forgiving you are
How patient you are

I look at you and I see
All the goodness that God has placed in you
Nothing in this life will ever take me from you.
I will be with you in the good times and the bad

I want you to know
How understanding
how compassionate, 
and how loyal you are

I want you to know
How lucky I am to have found you
How blessed I am that you are in my life.

Always Alone

As much as I give, I lose.
As much as I care, they don’t.

How do you know how important you are?
Do I think more of you than you think of me?
I am hopeless and alone, always and forever

As much as I help, it’s never enough.
As much as I love, I hurt.

I am not important and never have been.
To those I care about, they care little for me.
I am hopeless and alone, always and forever.

I am the one who gets tossed aside, forgotten each time.
A new thing comes along.

Support (A Poem About Supporting Others)

 Support I give and rarely receive.
How is it the ones closest to you,
Are the ones who don’t support you?
Strangers give you praise and those you love
Wonder why they should.
Why can’t we praise people and support those we love?
Are we only there to support, when times are rough?
Why are those in your corner, not truly there for you?
When they have so much to give when your cards are down, 
But nothing when you achieve your goals.
