I'M Back

Your Poem though not long
Sang such a beautiful song.
I hope I've not misunderstood
But all your words sound so good
I know I gave up and moved on
But that had its own pro and con
I thought I didn't have a chance with you
But I had absolutely no clue
So now I'm back
And I'm ashamed for all that I lack
I miss being with you
So much you have no clue
I'm sorry we didn't talk all summer
That is such a bummer
Maybe things will change now
But I don't know how
All I want to say
Is yes I will stay!

A Second Chance

My dearest friend
You ask that I take you back
But my love does not bend.
I dream of your touch
But knowledge unveils before me.
You had your chance
Don't you see?
Your time has come
Your time has gone.
A second chance is not for me to give
My love was yours
Your love was mine
You said so-long
And I said fine
But now your back
And so much you lack
I long to touch your hands
And feel your lips on mine
But what I must do is shut the door
For a second chance
Is not for me to give.

Fools Love

The time finally came.
It was hard but I finally said goodbye.
It's so hard to move on
I am once again alone in the world.
Tears hide behind my eyes
As I hold it deep inside,
My heart cries out
But not one tear escapes my eyes
Nor one word from my trembling lips.
The reason Why?
I don't know how to cry.
How did fools' love play it's trick on me again?
Like bulging rain clouds my eyes swell
Slowly drop by drop my tears come,
I feel the sting of my tears
As they slowly roll down my cheek.
I'm so lost and confused
I begin to wish we were still together
Why did I say goodbye?

The Way I Feel

I wish you were here
My sweet dear
Each minute your with me
I'm happy and glee
I sti by the phone
Each night all alone
Waiting for your call
To ring from the wall
Each time we say goodnight
You hold me so tight
Safe in your arms
Away from all harms
Never let go
Just kiss me like so
But right now I'm alone
And I feel like a clone
I wish you were here
My sweet dear
My sweety I love you
Oh how time flew
Good night my sweet dear

Grasslands

Loud thundering sounds
Come from a herd of horses
Across the grassland

The Lone Rider

A man sits on his horse on a lone hill
The only sound is a steady beat 
of the horses hooves on a lone trail
The two dusty faces stare 
down the path in the lone night
The thought of a warm drawn bath 
lingers in the cowboy's mind
His Job's done, the hands are gone, 
and he is a lone rider once again
The inns' are full leaving him 
no where to go and no where to stay
He rode up on that lone little hill 
and threw out his role
With a saddle for a pillow 
and a mat for a bed
He fell to hard ground as if he were dead
A lone tear roles down his cheek
On that lone little hill
Of the family he left back at the mill
Night is almost gone and day is almost here
He hears in the distance 
the sound of a lone deer
Tomorrow is the day that He will be home
And he will no longer have to roam

My Place

I sit in my corner watching the world go by
Tears roll down my cheeks as I cry and cry
Each new thing that enters my mind does not last

Life is like a giant puzzle, each piece represents someon's place
My mind wanders and my eyes fly back and forth in a race
Where is the space that my puzzle piece goes? Where is my piece?
Joy and laughter fills the room haunting me like one big tease.

I seem to be that fly on the screen, noticed by all, but apart of nothing
The loud obnoxious school bell plays its part in one loud cling
The gym empties and I stare across the empty room
Quiet fills my ears, and stillness continues to loom
Where am I, who am I, what am I? The questions still linger
The time seems perfect for the arrival of my executioner.
Very few even seem to notice that I am in existence.
I reach out many times to be part of that seemingly real world
But it always vanishes just like a dream, and my nightmare comes unfurled.

I am startled from my daxe by the second cling of the bell
I'm late for class, my P.A. is ruined and my life gets worse, but I'll never tell

A poem is the only way for me to pour out my soul
For I know not how to express emotion after sorrow's tole
Read each line carefully for they all have a meaning of their own
From my mouth you won't hear a mumble, not even a moan
So pay attention to the small glimpse into my life
For it's the only time you will see my sorrow and strife.
Though things seem perfect and right
They are not can you see the light

School gets out and I take my long drive home
The onel place my mind has the most time to roam
I check my e-mail to find one message that brings a smile to my face
A simple poem from a special heart. I realize I have found  my place.

An Old Friend

A bolt of pain
Stabs at my sorrowful heart.
Paralyzed with fear and knowledge
I kneel at the side of an old friend.
My eyes swell up with tears
As I stare at the faithful loyal horse
Lying helplessly at my feet.
His once round smooth belly
Now rough with bony ribs
Heaves up and down with great effort.
His once gentle dark brown face
Now gray with 38 years of age
Winces with pain.
Too weak to rise,
He rocs his nose up
Stretching his neck
and reaching out to me.
A quiet muffled nicker
Is al lthat escapes his throat
As he gives up his effortless struggle
And lays his head back in the snow.
I close my eyes racing back in time
Back when Red and I were young.
when my eyes open once again
The life flows from my dear old friend.

A Great Loss

Only images flash through the eye of my mind
Of the horse I knew when I was only nine
Through my haunting, never-ending doubt,
The tears of love and loss flow out.
Still stands time,
As silent as a mime.
How could I possibly make it through?
I absolutely have no clue.
She groaned as she flailed and thrashed,
Into the walls of the barn she crashed
I ran into the house and up to my room
The whole place was like a tomb
From the other room noise did I hear
The sounds just, seemed so near
Down the stairs and to the window I ran
Next to the horse I only saw a man,
In my Daddy's large hands rested a gun
The whole thing was almost done
From deep within the horse came a nicker,
Her life was only a flicker.
What was to happen next the horse knew
In the scene I saw was just those two
A shot rang out
As my mind quickly takes its route
Through the memories of old
Her tender soft head I wanted to hold
I cried and cried
As I stared at her red blood that had dried
The whole thing was so unclear,
But the end of her great struggle was here.

A Fool I'Ve Been

What a fool I've been
Thought my judgement was keen
I mistook you for false love
But now I can see
That your'e the one for me
