Love Is Like Magic

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!

The Lost Girl

There was once a girl
who loved and embraced life
she smiled even in sorrow
but her smiles were always borrowed
But nobody seemed to notice
that there was anything wrong at all
In this tiny town she used to call home
is all foreign now

She used to have no enemies
but now she has many
its not the ones who harass her
or threaten her, though
it's the lonely girl sitting within her

There's a lonely girl inside of her
fooling people so they may see
just how brave she may be
speaking of only happiness
despite all the hurt within

But all alone is where the danger lay
as she's sprawled on her bedroom floor
with pills in one hand and a blade in the other
there are some battles that can't be fought

So she cried, cried for another day
a day to feel loved once more
she cried, cried for another hour
one more hour to say she was sorry
but it was too late.

Start To Something New

Living in my own world,
Didn't understand,
That anything can happen,
When you take a chance,

I never believed in,
What I couldn't see,
I never opened my eyes,
To all the possibilities,

I never knew that it could happen,
Till it happened to me,
I didn't notice before,
But now it's easy to see,

This could be the start,
To something new,
It fells so right,
To be here with you,
And now looking in your eyes,
I see the start to something new.

Shadows and Darkness

I wish you would take me out of this lonely place,
where the shadows and darkness hide my face.
I'm stuck in a world of terror and fears,
stuck with all these lingering tears.
I try to escape the shackles and chains,
but all that is released are many pains.
This is no life for me,
where I'm surrendering on my knees. 
This life of burden and sorrow,
my face holding smiles borrowed.
The lies and darkness is my prison cell,
this is my own version of Hell.
Where the shadows overpower the light,
I'm forever stuck in an endless night. 
It's a constant fight that was finished before it started.
I wonder for how long my heart has been parted. 
Within this dark dungeon, 
where my heart lay shattered
is where my feelings are most scattered.
Is there an escape to this prison gate,
Or all along was this supposed to be my fate?
I feel like I have so much to offer the world,
but yet here is where I remain curled.
These shackles and chains are too much.
Can you hear every last hope crunch,
down here in this lonely place
where the shadows and darkness hide my face?

If It's Love

Even with wide eyes it’s bling to me
but with an open heart I can see
that it’s you, oh baby it’s you-oh-oh
That I need

This may be lust(dust) for all I know
But if it’s love, please just let me know
(cuz) In a hectic mess you’re my peace
(and) in a shaky world your my ease
But please don’t leave (me here tonight)

There’s no need to stand up and go
Life’s too short, sit down and enjoy the show
There’s no sanity left out there
so just sit in here with me

This may be lust (dust) for all I know
But if it’s love please just let me know
(cuz) in a hectic mess you’re my peace
(and) in a shaky world you’re my ease
just please don’t leave...

Just unpack those bags and leave a scattered desk
because without you I’m a wreck
Watching you leave is a troubling sight
So please, don’t kiss me goodnight

Monday Morning Chalkboard

I'll place some poems,
Upon this site,
Some will rhyme,
Some will not,

Catch your eye,
Tickle your ear,
Make you laugh,
Nor cry,

Each week,
I'll wipe the chalk away,
But the words will stay,
Forever I remain.

Braylen

The nurses rushing
like bushels of people in Grand Central Station.
I was in a crowded room,
Yet I felt so alone. 
My world had stopped.

Soon enough, the rush was over
and everyone seemed to be dejected,
yet my countenance
filled with confusion.
Why were people passing me
with glances of sympathy?
Now I know,
my world had stopped. 

The constant “beep, beep, beep,”
had faded into the silence.
The heart monitor that was once 
doing jumping jacks had died.
Now his world had stopped.

His skin was cold
like the breeze rustling the leaves.
The blanket had a nice fold
keeping his tiny body covered.
Not one breath
was yet to leave his chest.
Not a dream 
yet dreamt,
his life was ripped 
from the seams. 
His world had stopped.

While I diverged
from the rest of the family,
I walked down the white hallways
where the cries still lingered.
The staff had doffed
their masks and hats,
some bowed their heads,
while others eyes glazed
deep into my soul. 
The world had stopped.

Do You Surrender

A feeling never felt
a time within itself
what shall i do
while I’m feeling these blues
ever since you told me your news

Do you see my tears
Do you hear my cries
Do you feel what I feel
down inside

Because you’re the reason why 
I lay awake at night
wondering what tomorrow brings
and how you’ll hold me tight
cuz it’s just right
to be here with you (tonight)

Holding me tight your hand in mine,
trying to find a piece of mind
Your lips against my lips
a sweet surrendered kiss
within the light mist
what a pleasant gift
until the fire died
within his eyes

cuz it’s alright
If you feel this too
And it’s alright
if you miss me too
Because you have my hearts key
so come and go as you please

But do you see my tears
do you hear my cries
do you feel what I feel 
every single night

Because you’re the reason why
I lay awake tonight
wondering what tomorrow brings
and if you’ll stop on by

Hell's Grace

At first, it's all smiles and laughs,
Until memories come rolling back,
All the memories I hide,
In the back of my thoughts, on the top rack,
Then more fights break out,
And the memories unstack.

Once Hell is back in the cage,
All regrets fill my mind,
And I wish I could just unwind,
But then Jesus takes over,
And Grace fills my mind.

I thought those were regrets,
But it was really gratefulness,
The rack is cleared,
And now it is time for Hell to be reared.

It's now God's turn to take over,
And find me a good luck clover,
Because Jesus is in,
Hell is out,
So say 'Hello' to a new me!

Is There Still Good In You

You beat me down,
Told me not to cry,
Not to show weakness.
You showed me no sign,
Of ever loving me,
Showing no sympathy.
You hit me down again,
and just my luck,
You didn't give a crap,
But I still believed there was good in you.

I let you hit me, 
Thinking it was alright.
You told me not to cry,
And to hold it all inside,
But I let a tear fall,
And then you saw,
Now I fell with it.
But I still believed there was good in you.

Days grew longer,
As life got shorter.
I may have only been eight,
But I still had a great ache.
I didn't understand what was happening,
Why did I keep ending up in the clinic,
With scars on my wrists?
Because you hadn't loved me enough.
You crushed my spirits,
And put a hole in my heart.
There is no good in you.
I don't know what my father saw in you.

Now I'm stuck with a twisted mind,
And can't make sense of any kind.
I cannot find,
Who I really am,
Because you never gave a damn.
So now you see,
How I have come to be.
Just a lost puppy,
This is me.
