Crystal Cross Poem
I wrote this way back in sixth grade & I have been able to recite it since, actually the
only poem of mine that I actually have memorized, such a shame! anyways read on:
There once was a girl from mars
Who ate and ate candy bars
But then she got sick
And decided to lick
The mud of a small purple car
~we even had to illustrate it & everything, but so sorry I can't attach that one with it :)
*Thanks much for reading

Crystal Cross Poem
The reason I wrote this poem is to symbolize anything that ever catches you in the
clutches of temptation, be it small like chocolate as this is, or bigger like porn,
smoking, alcohol, etc..fill in the blank, everyone has something that it seems like they
can't quite conquer. The struggling and the realization that nothing on this earth with
satisfy that God sized whole in your heart, even if at the beginning you believe that it
will. Thanks for taking the time to read. Hope you enjoy.
A romance swirled in cocoa brown and creamy white
Smooth flavor
Charming you to take another bite
Promising to stay with you forever and ever
The allure of wanting more
So much more
Beckoning to catch you
Catch you in its trap once again
Enticing
Ever inviting
Daring you to take another bite
Sinking deeper into temptation
But the fun is over before you know it
Never getting enough
You're always wanting just a little more
Your mind in turmoil
Questions flooding
Racing
Why does this happen every single time?
But you fall to the ground
Every time afterwards
Brought down lower than before
Always
With the same answer
Chocolate never really loves you back

Crystal Cross Poem
I'm sick, with what I can't say
get a doc, without delay
the flu bug got me
prescribe something quickly
my first date is on Friday night

Crystal Cross Poem
My first tooth fell out last night
It gave me such a big fright
"Oh, Mommy help me"
Or so soon I will be
With dentures like grandpa, Dwight!

Crystal Cross Poem
I was lying in bed
Trying to sleep late one night
A small spark,
Nagging & prodding
In the back corner of my mind
Slowly forming into more
Then a solid idea strikes a cord right then
Taking shape & quickly growing
With each minute that passes me by
Not leaving
Until I have it written down
Quickly reaching to grab a pen & notepad
smoke rising steadily
From the sheet
Inspiration has struck
Giving birth to a poem
~I'm sure every poet has had an experience just like this one :) And ironically that is
exactly how that poem came into existence. Thanks for reading

Crystal Cross Poem
He's broken into my heart
Climbed all the walls of my self protection
So precariously constructed
Past my guard against a possibility of being wounded and betrayed
My soul laid bare before him to crush or embrace
If I told him,
How will he react?
I value our friendship more than he may even know
So I keep quiet
With one glance from his charming blue eyes,
My world turned into a spinning spiral
But I am absolutely powerless to stop it all
this madness of a fairy tale story
Unfolding right before my eyes
I'm falling hard and fast,
It feels as if I've jumped into an endless free fall
When will I land?
Where will I fall?
It's so unclear to me at this moment
What all this might transpire into with time
Does he think about me
As much as I think about him?
What if my hopes for him are shallow?
Am I being biased and blinded?
These are the questions that haunt me everyday
So no confession escapes my lips still
My once seemingly innocent friendship with him
Has quickly transpired into a fascinating,
Though frustrating,
One-sided love affair
His mysterious and shy demure has rendered me captive
Alluring me to a place of no return
Why is this so difficult?
If only my walls had been higher,
Thicker
But then I ask myself,
"Maybe, I really want him there?"
Though my answer may scare me slightly,
I can't hide from myself,
I know I am now
Madly and hopelessly in love
With this sweet boy
I want to tell him so badly
But arrows of self-doubt invade my thoughts
He couldn't like me,
Not possibly
So I stay quiet still
But the one thing that matters the most is this,
I hope he will still be there,
Waiting,
To catch me when I fall

Crystal Cross Poem
Quiet humming
Wings flying
Six legs
Landing on a leaf
Red backdrop
Black polka dots
Splattered across the top
Dainty
Crawling slowly along
Carefree
Time to enjoy nature's display
Observe the Lady

Crystal Cross Poem
When you look into his eyes
You must look ever so closely
Past all the cover ups
to an even greater distress:
A stormy & raging sea
If you can look beyond all the hurt and betrayal,
Mistrust & denial
You may just find a boy hovering in the corner
Just acting brave
So others never detect his inner struggles
Has anyone ever gotten close enough to see,
If this boy has a need
Just like everyone else around
Longing for a loving & listening heart
Some wouldn't even notice
Because they only care about themselves
But hidden behind those tall walls
So precariously erected
Is a heart
Hurting & wounded
Some have already broken through the barrier
Before it was so strong
but as an enemy in disguise
Only looking for self-exulting
And just adding to the pile
Of all the debris of people and things
In his past who didn't care
Or truly even seem to understand
About the fragile soul buried deep inside
So He just slams the door
And locks it even tighter
So as to repel anyone
who would try to puncture
His seemingly untainted armor
Will anyone scale those tall structures he has so strongly built?
Break into the inner chamber
that holds his bruised and broken soul
With gentle kind word
And slow,
But steady prodding
God will successfully reach that dying boy
With a touch of light & love
Finding himself
Among the shadows of yesterdays' scars
Now beginning to heal
True freedom
From the grip of another's opinion
Not mattering anymore
Only then will his true self be unashamed to brilliantly shine forth
He can then emerge
into the bold man
God has so carefully planned for him
Now stretching his wings
To fly

Crystal Cross Poem
I think I’ve gotten much better
At writing on command
You say, “create” with purpose
So I enthusiastically pick up the pen
Eyes gleaming with confidence
Now suddenly my mind is
Utterly & completely…
Blank

Crystal Cross Poem
I am scared to know you actually cared
To let you in so quickly
I can't help myself
For it has already happened
Scared to believe your words to be true
Excited & giddy
To have found
An apparent match in you
I didn't want to care for anyone
I wasn't looking for love
But some things can change so quickly
If you're not on the same page
Not feeling the same way
Stop saying things
That lead me to believe differently
I'm scared now to believe
Someone would actually care for me
Saying you will miss me
Do you truly know what that means to me?
You not aware
That I care so much for you already
In such a very short time
Do you feel the way I do?
Hearts connecting in harmony
Or are you playing high school games
If that is true
I want out of your trap
Release me from this trance
I didn't sign up for this
Are you hiding behind a joke?
Teasing
I can't believe you,
Only to have my heart broken
I hide from my feelings
I don't want to admit anything to myself
For if I'm wrong
Only believing in a lie
The pain may already be too strong
I desperately need to know
What is the catch?
Running out of time, to figure it all out
I try to find the disguise
You're hiding behind
Or do we really have something going
Something special
Uniquely created & Heavenly ordained
Will we even give it time to bloom?
Time to see
What God has in store
In the end
For you & me
