"Love Lied"

In this moment I desperately wish for tomorrow

So I will have yet another day further away from all that was you and I

One more day at an attempt to mend my broken heart

Because bitterness does not even begin to describe the loss of faith in your actions

The failure of hope in you and your choices lacked any sort of compassion when destroying my heart

Memories now fail to recall

Any single point in time when all things changed between us

Until now

Ripped out by the roots

We had grown....

Or so I thought...

That strength would have been found in numbers

And a connection was made

But now, devastation is found only in one

After my emotions were dismissed by the simple wisp of your hand

All that once was has come crashing down

Passion runs cold

Tenderness turns to stone

My voice no longer wants to call your name

Because my mind can't seem to stop thinking

What was the lie?

You?

Or our love?

"Poetry Through A Readers Eye"

Upon the page

Ink flows like a river

Telling readers a little story

Giving them a glimpse into a different landscape, feeling, or emotion

Words of expression fill every line

They flow beyond an unmeasurable depth

Or soar above the highest cloud

Every thought is defined

Some sing to you sweetly

Others strike your heart strings like keys upon a piano

Questions of love and life are asked or even answered

Joy and peace sometimes can be found within the same body

Because pain, anger, and strife are all written

Experience ingrained into the paper, directly from life

Diversity found

Thoughts lost

Sometimes in between the lines hidden messages can be found

Like a story it may have a theme

Each one with unique characters and scene

Conflicts are played out or worked out

Like a film written and shown within your mind

Life through words

As powerful as they can be

Used with strength and a sense of compassion

You truly never know what you may feel or see

So take a moment or two

Let your eyes fall over the next poem your feet come upon

Because you may come to realize that its more than just some words printed upon the page

Maybe you will realize that sometimes we are not meant to fit into tiny little labeled boxes

Maybe the true fact is, that we need to simply build a bigger box to exist within

Or maybe, we don't even need to be defined or held within a perfectly labeled box at all.

"Our Time Now"

These are the days that are never ending

These are the moments in between

We are here...

Standing in the now

Waiting for the chance

The possibility...

To live...

To be able to grow beyond our former selves

To reach high, beyond the stars

Its our turn to shine and bask in the glory

To receive what is rightly ours to own

To stand in a place of unity, equality, and freedom

These are the days of things that have long since passed

These are our days of wholeness and of completeness

These are our days to just be...

Free.
