Best I Think It Would Be Best Poems


Forbidden Love

I can’t deny my feelings for you they are too deep
You are the first thought when I wake and last thought before I sleep
I know it’s wrong for me to feel this way and I am trying to hold back
I try to find something wrong with you but there is nothing that you lack
We can’t be together and there is no point to even try
But to say that I won’t take that risk would honesty be a lie
You can’t help who you fall in love with and I’m in love with you too
Although I want nothing more than to be with you that's something I can’t do
I want what I can’t have and you know this so please don’t call 
Because every time I hear your voice I can’t help but to want to give you my all
Each time you come around I try to avoid our connection that we both know is there
I avoid the sense of me feeling that I need to be with you but it’s too much to bare
I pray to God that I can let this thought go but he just pushes you near
Now I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and I don’t want to be here
What would happen if I gave in and gave you a chance to be my boyfriend
Do you know some of my friendships and family members relations might end
Besides I don’t want to keep hiding and meeting up at our secret place
So I think it would be best to go our separate ways and give each other space
I have to realize you are my fantasy and I am your dream but we can never touch
And it’s very difficult because if we are away for a day we miss each other so much
The feelings that we have for each other gets stronger and deeper by the way we resist
Because the anticipation of when we take that leap of faith knowingly exists

Wanta

I see a fire burning and
I see flowers blooming and
I see you standing in the door way
With the sun light sparking on you,
Making you so beautiful,
Can't you see that I want you 
to myself tonight,
I just wanta watching the stars 
go dancing in the moon light 
with you by myside,
We will be holding hands 
playing in the sand
as the ocean waters touch our toes
We will not run just see how far it goes
It will be such a pretty thing
make up some songs and
listen to mother nature sing,
We can take a day to rest
You know I think it would be best
bring this love to the test cause everywhere we go
We can not be alone and I 
dont want to go homewith out you 
I just gotta have you too myself again

Premium Member FACE TO FACE WITH A RACCOON

We have five feeders hanging on our porch…for the birds who frequent there
(and the occasional squirrels…who have no idea what it means to share.)

During the day while sitting on the porch..we love to watch birds come and go.
So many of these birds are regulars…ones we’ve come to know.

We bring these feeders in once the sun has set and the sky is devoid of light
but we leave one feeder hanging…for the raccoon who comes at night.

He usually comes when we’re asleep…sneaking along the rail in the back
stopping at the feeder for his nutritious evening snack.

We’ve had this wonderful relationship.…which all summer we’ve been working on…
I leave a little extra seed in the feeder and by the time I wake up…
the raccoon has come and gone.

Last night all that changed…as we forgot we were teammates…
when I woke up a little early and my friend the raccoon was running late.

At the top of the stairs to our upper deck…I heard a familiar THUMP
and as the raccoon ran to the other end of the deck…I gave a little jump.

because when he got to the end he realized…there was no way out…
so he made a course correction…
which meant this frightened raccoon had turned around and was heading in my direction.

He stopped when he saw me…we were now face to face…
and I called on all the courage and wisdom I could muster 
to handle this moment with dignity and grace

I wanted to say “Hello, Raccoon.  Sorry I disturbed you…
but you’re a little late today.
I think it would be best…if we both were on our way.”

Instead I looked that raccoon directly into his little bandit eyes
then screamed at the top of my lungs…(who knew my voice could go that high!)

The raccoon scooted by me…faster than I’ve ever seen him move before…
while I ran into the cabin and quickly slammed the door.

I imagine that raccoon went home and told his family about his adventure of the night
how he finally met the man who leaves the feeder out…and it was not a pretty sight!

It was not my finest animal moment…but in my defense we took each other by surprise…
Tonight I’ll leave a little extra scoop of seeds in the feeder as a way to apologize.
