"Pure Moments"

Sometimes those simple moments can hit you deep

Warming your heart

And radiating through your entire being

Pure in nature

Filled to the brim with hope

Or better yet

Happiness

A smile will strike out across your face

Like the bright rising sun of the morning

That welcomes a brand new day

Thanks is given for the chance taken

And the possibility made

Making you realize that this kind of happiness is priceless

That is why its net worth is limitless.

"New Step Forward"

I wish you could see every part of me

And not just what you choose to view

To have the curiosity to know more

To dig deep into everything that is me

Unearth my passion

The heat at my core

Be brave enough to reach out and connect

Let fingers entwine

Hands palm to palm

Let all that has been in the past fade away

This is a new beginning

A step forward in the right direction

I give to you the deepest promise

Of absolute truth and caring respect

Expecting the same in return...

Hold tightly to these new emotions as they flow

Feel them through your heart and soul

Patience with kindness will let them naturally grow

Let the wind of change sway your heart from relationships past

Because I bear a light to help you out of the fallen darkness

Let these moments carry us to wherever they may lead

With opens hearts and open minds

Existing in every vibrant step laid out before us.

"First Kiss"

What would it be like?

To give yourself over to something so completely?

Skin to skin our bodies embrace

The warmth from your core heats me through mine

A shiver of intensity surges

The seconds speak

As you drop your head in between my neck and shoulder

I hear your breath inhale

Then, warmly exhale

Passion holds us

Our eyes meet in the middle

Making ourselves seen complete

Our lips touch

My breath catches in my mouth

My skin becomes a blanket of pin pricks

Tingling with excitement

If freedom ever felt like anything

It would be this moment.

"Simple Rules"

Time waits for no person...

And some thoughts leave you wondering

Some choices made cannot be undone

Actions put in motion can rarely be stopped

Ones intentions should always be made clear

Open the lines of communication and speak direct

Eye to eye

With words on the level

Games played will result in consequences gained

Lies and denial are the path that lead you astray

And doubt always means don't.

"Real Time"

There is a point in time in life

Where you get to old to be governed by the fear of others

Because our choices are just that

So own them

Making the hardest part about caring for anything in this world

Is that you do...

Be not the ideals and judgment that you preach

Instead be the change and the example you wish others to follow

Be living proof that change is possible

Open your mind

Challenge your expectations

And show others that its never to late to learn

We are not the wrong assumptions made against us

Our imagination is just that

Ours...

To create with, work with, and control

Love with all your heart

Hold compassion for yourself as well as for others

Belief in ones self and others is the most important

And the words spoken with unfailing faith of “I understand”

Are all ties that bind

Carrying endless meaning to those who receive it

Exist in the world

This is where I am found

Where are you?

"Cherish The Moments"

Its funny how the passing of time changes everything

Emotions, thoughts, and feelings

Eyes gain a new point of view

Life takes a turn

A new direction to walk

Another path to take

To live upon...

All things hold a new meaning

Everything that was once so clearly defined begs to be renamed

Filed and stacked away upon the shelves of life

Keeping all in order

We ourselves are living proof that all these things do happen

One second leads into the next moment

The next step brings you to the starting line of tomorrow

A new day ushered in by the dawn

Brings another clean slate to write your life story upon

To be molded and crafted by your very own hands

Creating the pieces of your daily life

Memories remembered

Experiences made

Learn from every ounce of existence

Simply be you

Even though the building blocks of impossible may stack against you

Keep pushing through

Fight back

Because there is belief in you

There is hope

Love

And the will so survive

So cherish everything that is you

For all the days of you life.

"Better Image"

Trapped inside yourself

Lost...

In an image...

In a dream...

Frozen in parallel lines from me

Pressing your eyes shut to block the tears

You wait...

Struggling with the choice

Or the decisions already made

I try desperately to remind you

That its not so much how others see you

But how you see yourself

I wish you could see yourself through my eyes

Then you would truly see a better reflection of yourself

Other than the one that haunts you

Starring back at you in the mirror.
