| Poetry Collection Posted: 11/18/2005 8:13:23 PM | No one sees the tears I cry Because they are in my heart From all the pain that I've been through And it's tearing my heart apart Secretly they flow and no one seems to care Since no tears fall from my eyes But I feel my heart breaking in two And my soul crumbles and dies I am nothing I have no reason to live But I stay strong no matter what it takes For I am a survivor and will continue to fight | |

| Poetry Collection Posted: 11/25/2005 11:42:26 AM | Scream Heres a really morbid poem.
I scream I curse the pain I am in is the worst I cut to bleed I need to know that I am real. I knash my teeth I bite I see.
You no longer need me here. Thats ok my love I will disappear. No more will I burn your eyes I know that I am despised
I want to sleep now so please don't wake me To fall into to a wonder where no pain can touch me. I hate you I want you to feel the way I do. I want to cut you make you bleed. As I go on you will see my sanity is depleating I wanna SCREAM I want you to die no longer will I be at your side. I am going crazy you can see I am no longer making sence. I wanna kill I wanna kill I wanna see you die. The pain you gave me I can no longer bare. I will sneak into our home, I will watch you sleep,but the they will mourn. I will slice you, dice you like you made me do.
Silence has filled the room I now am feeling the gloom Your blood is on my hands my face. Only my tears are my cleansing grace Now it is time for me to scream I slice I dice then lay by you side. I am now going to die. In your arms like I have always scene You can now never leave we are bound by death you see. I smile you see I can see him he is here for us. Dust to dust I now.............. | |

| from the book "The Invitation" Posted: 11/25/2005 3:32:55 PM | My favorite poem:
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what plants are squaring our moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can be disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trusthworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours or mine and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon "yes".
It doesn't interest me where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed your children.
It doesn't me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. | |

| Poetry Collection Posted: 11/25/2005 4:53:12 PM | There is no sun no light. There is not will to fight.
My breasts are bare. My heart still beats.
Kiss me I say to the shadow. Lay next to me.
Feel my warm breath. Against you cold body.
Wake from you slumber. Hold me close.
I ask this of you. O dark ghost.
I see not your face. But I know my place.
Next to you. The blood drips from my hands.
I know that you understand. I wait for you Death.
So plesent and sweet. I am in that state of sleep.
Never to wake. I am at your side. Never again will I hide. | |

4586 Bubble Gum Blues 27 November 2005
Some can be funny - others were true Then there were really bad movies and chewed gum on the seats that was left behind and stuck like glue
While there were topics at times not all there Because what was the state of the state fair
Even if this was a movie made from some guys play The subject was merry-go-rounds and that was another in Carousel you'd say
Some can be funny as comic as can be But who left their bubble gum here because I'm stuck to my seat and cannot get free

4698 Hinges of Hope 15 December 2005
Captured by a sky of grey alone in a restless world The voice Alison Krauss - tender in tone extracted from veins bleed
Her heavens a place to escape of a door hanging upon hinges of hope Left to endure in being - a lucky one - of eyes blinded - yet from inside truly seeing
Maybe a new tomorrow a new favourite to in rhythm drink Whether harmless to the soul with shelter heartbroken to endure
Strong in strength - reason not to proclaim This desert of paradise found in her Let me touch you for a while because on the inside were feelings This desire of reality in her smile
In her blend of bluegrass and folk music, Alison Krauss at five years old, looked to playing the violin and a future in classical music. Of a life which in the late 1980’s saw the mature versatility of Krauss debut and become instantly acclaimed in a passion of country and the rendering presence of her bluegrass sound.
In 1995 her compilation album: “Now That I've Found You” in its unique resonance characterising Krauss as the star she had become. The album reached number two on the country charts and - upon reflection, more remarkably - went into the pop Top Ten and sold over a million copies. Its success confirming her status as bluegrass' leading light in the '90s.

| Poetry Collection Posted: 12/31/2005 3:21:09 PM | Christmas Through My Eyes
Looking around at a blanket of white Covering the ground on this special night Shining brightly up in the sky you see A star that will lead the way to Thee For He was born in a manger in Bethlehem And the ones who knew bring gifts with them Even three kings visit from a land quite far By following that brightly shining star For this is known as Christmas day
I know this is a lil late gettin on here but I couldn't access a computer at the time, I am celebrating new year's at my boyfriends house so
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, I probably won't be back for a while, unfortunately. I miss you all very much | |

4959 Teresa 22 January 2006
Like love was her this Teresa to enjoy Her beauty hidden as to a photograph in black and white
Stolen love because there was no day - morning or night Of a school of fish drifting on the current of a void sea
Teresa all he felt he did need while much was beyond what could be real So intangible to that of significant reign an outlook of drought taken as to place and time
Unable to see behind the print left in no way to the gate enter Just a key to unlock and turn her love in his heart without to earn

| Poetry Collection Posted: 3/6/2006 6:43:15 AM | A day without the sun Is like my heart when I'm in pain Tears fall from my eyes Like a warm spring time rain They soak the ground as I walk With my hands covering my face So no one can see me cry I only look to see if i'm in the right place Nothing looks familiar no matter where I look Or things don't appear clear to me As if this is where I'm not supposed to be I don't know where I am
I'm lost and starting to feel scared I keep looking around until I am dizzy But I am feeling completely unprepared Could this be my life at it's final end? Or is my life just rounding a curve ahead I am feeling confused on which direction to go Turning back now seems like my only option instead Of moving forward to see what's around the bend But I suck it up and move forward in life Because one year has started and the old one is at an end | |

| Poetry Collection Posted: 3/6/2006 6:48:14 AM | wrote this one back in february around valentines day. After i split with my bf too
Love For A Special Valentine
My heart aches when you're not around Because you keep me safe and sound You make me feel as if I'm floatin on air And you treat me with such tender care I never feel alone when you're by my side My face lights up with smiles that refuse to hide Your arms feel so safe and strong I wish I could stay there all night long Your kisses are so passionate and sweet That send shivers down to my feet I never want to let you go Because there is something you should know I love you baby more and more each day And I know you feel the same way. | |

| Poetry Collection Posted: 3/7/2006 7:26:32 PM | here's an Ode
Ode to William Gabriel (my new nephew)
There's a new baby in your life That you give all your love too If your life is crazy now Just wait because you don't have a clue Many sleepless nights and feedings With the cries of the new baby boy Every smile every new thing Will bring you so much joy Treasure the moments now Because they won't last Even new babies tend To grow up too fast | |

| Poetry Collection Posted: 3/7/2006 8:41:52 PM | 5157 An Angel Purrs 08 March 2006
An angel purrs in her days of Michigan sun Like that of Ford Road united in prospect of one
It has been some time this love in friend still true That is all to savour in a factor of adding two
Mathematics to emotional ties an element of long ago All in her beauty a younger sister to know
Always never far from a thought away this treasure golden to her voice touch Just to love - just to know you mean in ways of relation so much
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.”
