Best Friends

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.

Best Freind

Please define for me,
o; pretty please,
a best friend to me.
Someones who's there till the end?
Someones who's a good friend?
Does everyone have one?
Does anyone really even need one?
Its hard to tell who has my back,
just from who has it long enough to stab it.
If i let someone in,
I have to tear down the walls and reveal all my sins.
They have to swear to secrecy,
If they tell, I just might go crazy.
Who's my best friend?
I'll be by myself in the end.
I don't have one,
Am I ok without one?

Precious Love

Love is a precious thing
It is a feeling that
makes your heart sing.

Whether you are far or near
it is like whispering in my ear.

When you find true love
it is something you
keep within your heart.

A BETTER TOMORROW

Author: Yvonne Warren

I never knew there would be a better tomorrow
But you've come into my life and taken away all my sorrow

My days of sadness are a thing of the past
Because I have found true love at last

My days of emptiness are gone for good
Because you fill a void in my heart that you should

You've opened a window
You've shown me the light
And my love for you will continue to burn bright.

A marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time.
~Anne Taylor Fleming

?Poetry by Pablo Neruda

And it was at that age ... Poetry arrived
in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when,
no, they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.

I did not know what to say, my mouth
had no way
with names,
my eyes were blind,
and something started in my soul,
fever or forgotten wings,
and I made my own way,
deciphering
that fire,
and I wrote the firts faint line,
faint, without substance, pure
nonsense,
pure wisdom
of someone who knows nothing,
and suddenly I saw
the heavens
unfastened
and open,
planets,
palpitating plantations,
shadow perforated,
riddled
with arrows, fire and flowers,
the winding night, the universe.

And I, infitesimal being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
for myself a pure part of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.

Love

A Life with love will have some thorns... but a life without love has no roses.
Life is What You Make of It.

Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Langston Hughes

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Frost

music

Music is what makes you move
Music is what makes you groove
Music can be good or bad depending on how its used
Music can make you choose different clothes to wear
Music can make you change your hair
Music can make you choose new friends
Music can make you want to dance
Music can make you fight
Music can make everything alright
Music can take care of you when your alone
Music can make everything feel like home
Music can harm and take away
Music can make you want to stay
Music is the only friend I have
Music is my mom and dad
Music is what keeps me alive
When I feel like I can't survive

Before I was a Mom

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,

I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
t he heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.

Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

Colossians 3:2 (American Standard Version)

GIRL IN BLACK

she was happy
no family or face
but always sunny
turned sad and lonly
but she was NEVER alone
no trust and depressed
'trust no one' was her motto
always suicidal and hated
but never jumped
A girl in black
just met her DARK prince
he just happened
to be DEATH...

Sex Without Love*

A pleasure we do out of love for the other person
We our sharing the sexual experiment with
When the innocent become the sexual

It’s when that passion of love turns into a hobby
Then into an obsession and then that turns into a have to have
You can’t stop thinking about your next fix
You look for it everywhere in everyone
You start having withdraws from it
You wonder how you got this way
So dependent on it to get you through the day
You think it’s the only thing that your good at
The guys keep coming and going like fire
At times when it hurts so bad you cant do anything
You tell yourself no more not another time
But as soon as soon as your better
Your right back at it
You ask yourself
Why you do this every time
You just don’t understand
It’s as if your being sexualy
Taken advantage by your own body

You wanna tear your hair our if your not doing it
The people just keep getting older while your still the same age
Started 2-3 years now it doesn’t really matter how old as long as you get the fix
You have to do it
It is your drug
Your Acid

People have been telling you for months that you need help
The people that know you the real you
This isn’t the real you and you know it
You can feel it
The lying
The addiction
The lack of pride you have for your body and self
It’s not you
It’s like he said right before he left
How does it feel to be trash now that you are trash,
And now you are truly trash.
You are not trash this is not you

You know how this started a young women lost within her broken hearted emotions
You just know you don’t know how to stop it
You now need help
Lots of help
Cause sitting here
Your itching to do it again
And pleading someone help
HELP! ! ! PLEASE! ! ! HELP! ! !
You don’t wanna be like this forever

Beautiful Fate

We were so young
all we had was time
the moments flew by
we didn't even notice
we didn't care where we were
as long as we were together
so naive and careless
sweet abandon saved us
hearts were wild and in love
others thought us crazy
we didn't listen
had are whole lives in front of us
stuck in a moment of time
faith is all we had
to hold on too
now we have grown up a little
since then and still haven't let go
maybe it was fate, or chance
love found us broken here
saved us both

Four Line Long Poem-Hurricane

Gods Holy Light

I am God's creation.
God loves me.
I am important and belong in this life.
No matter how hard and how painful things appear, my life is precious and sweet.
Because I am with God, I am never alone.
God is here right now, there is hope, and all things are possible.
I am not giving up because I am living my whole life with God.

Aging Gracefully

As you get older, it is easier to be positive.
You care less about what other people think.
You try to live the rest of your years gracefully.
Life is to short to mope around.
too short to critize all.
Too short to be negative all the time.
Live your life to be helpful to all.
Too Short to look back and wonder why. The reasons are always there.

Be Graceful
