Yesterdays' Love
I saw my yesterday's love today,
on a quiet, shady, backstreet lane.
I knew his eyes, though his hair was grey,
said he'd forgotten my married name
Or would have called me when moving back
to see how life had been treating me.
Just words said to fill memory's lack
Smiling, we talked a moment or three
Then we hugged and each went

Opposites
(2 haiku)
A boy will make you
think he’s in love with you
When he really isn’t.
A girl will make you
think that she doesn't love you
when she really does.

Do Not Dash
Love doesn't dash, it loiters -
with repeated movements like music
and beautifully crude endearments.
Love does't dash, it lingers
with rhythms like dance
and boastfully rude aphorisms.
So dally my love - lollygag,
lounge and we'll share breaths
and mess about.

Desired Love
My mother instilled a desire in me
A desire for love and connection
I wish I didn’t need this slight dependency
But it’s far too late for correction
So whoever you are out there
We’ll meet and into your eyes, I’ll stare
Many adults believe teens are not capable of love
We just want a fling or someone to claim as property
Am

School Girl Crush
I walk by you at school.
Hoping you think I'm cool.
Trying to not be a fool.
The beauty that runs through my mind.
Makes me think I'm blind.
Because I'm focused on one thing.
That's the daughter of a king.
Wanting to be the one to give you a ring.
But I'm just a

I Want To Tell You My Secrets
We have been together
Since I could remember
Telling all of my secrets to him
Always playing around
Teasing all the neighbors
Playing hide-and-seek
Running up to the hill
Then when we are in high school
Everything have not been the same
We have been distancing ourselves
Drifted apart from one another
I can no longer tell you my secrets
Though I want to

Forbidden Love
So what if my mind goes blank from just a glance
And just a thought about her makes my depression lift
Maybe too cliché for me, if you catch my drift
Even when its my heart that lifts
I can't help that its her that I've fallen for
I refuse to stop even when she makes life a

Heart
She hallowed out her heart again,
She tore out all the black.
Then scraped the walls with her bare hands,
Until she reached the back.
She washed off all the rusted screws,
And broken veins, and pounding wounds.
She tried to make sense of this scene,
But honestly, she could not think.
She knew she had to start fresh,
But in her chest was

I Think Your the One
I think you’re the one, every time I see you. I never knew how much I could love somebody. But now I do know and it feels good to tell you how I really feel about you, you make my heart sing when you hug me tightly. You make my heart melt when you whisper

Am I Letting Her Get Away
I'm worried I'm letting it pass
Her heart for me to grasp
We're set to dance on homecoming night
But that's the future, the present is not right
We rarely talk, i don't know what to say
No time together, she works everyday
I yearn for the closeness, the union of two
And yet she's so far, what should i do
I will

A Glance
I’m in line,
Staring at the floor,
I look up,
I see him,
He walks by me without a glance,
I wave and say hi,
He doesn’t look up,
I keep staring and waving,
He turns around,
Smiles,
Waves,
And winks,
I feel my face redden,
He turns around,
I say bye,
He leaves.

Wishing Just Isn'T Enough Anymore
I wish love was enough.
I thought it was enough, how stupid could I be?
But what I thought was love is now just a distant memory.
One that got the best of me.
It took away my thoughts, my days, and my nights.
Hell, a lot of the time it even took away my apitite.
I lost focus,

About Time
About time you show up
About time you help out
About time you comfort me
About time you decide to step up
About time you realized
About time i that i left
About time you felt lost
Because with out me
Your not everything you say
I was your world, and you weren't mine
So listen now

Poetry Soup
Not knowing what you want can be pretty sad,
looking around and searching for the unreal is bad.
Than you stumble upon a treasure and find your self in that moment,
a moment that you have been waiting for and hoping to open it.

Day To Day
Revealed to me on this day of gray
Where my thoughts to tend to stray
What desires I seek out most
And how best about them boast
For within this hour I seek your grace
In hopes it would bring me your face
So that we could simply speak
Before my passion does grow weak
Though immortal it may be
This love of mine
