This Is Me

I would say on first summings, being a little  shy
 sit back and read my poem,i`ll try to explain why
   my speach is not so perfect flowing,i get a little tensed
     until you get to know me,i let down my gaurd and fence
  
         Of all that can succomb to me,`til i`m comfortable you`ll know
          my confidence,relaxing and along my speach will flow
            when i  do feel at ease, and amongst all friends
              the joker does emerge from me,then i will probably tend

                 To come out from my shell, and enjoy a drink or two.
                   Or onto my Fiance` and family,that i love so dear
                     my friends i do have a few or just general peers
                       i have one daughter, and a grandson,my heart i hold so near

                          I like to think i`m thoughtful,kind,selfless and caring
                           and give sound advice,whenever it seems bearing
                             so Tracie, i`d like to think i`ve covered, all of your ground
                              without blowing my horn, i`d say i`m sound as a pound.

Hearts

HEARTS

                        Somewhere back in time it started,
                        The beating of two lonely hearted,
			Synchronized by times now charted, 
			And there they stood together.
                               				*
			On a grassy, sunlit hill
			Those two hearts made their appeal	
			For one another's love so real,
			While not a sound was uttered.
                          				* 
			One heart looked in the others eyes
			And saw love there to no surprise.                              
			Then at once, both realized 
			Their love for one another.
                            				*
			Innocent, and not really knowing,
			Those two hearts their love bestowing
			Their love to one another showing
			As the world and time went by.
                           				*
			It isn’t really fair they say,
			For hearts to be in love this way,
			Keeping their secrets locked away,
			But there they stood together.
                                                  *
			For what did those two sad hearts seek
			When together they did meet?
			Was it for love to be complete,
			Which they could find in no other?
                                                  *
			Was it truly in the stars
			That those two hearts with all their scars
			Would find love where morality bars
			Their loving one another?
                                                 *
			Now this grassy sunlit hill
			Where two hearts made their appeal,
			Is standing desolate, parched, and still 
			And not a sound is uttered.
