Girl From Mars

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

Loose Tooth

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!

First Date

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

Chocolate Temptation Nov 2, 2010

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

A Poem Formula Every Poet Should Read

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

In My Heart

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

Ladybug

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

Finally Letting Go

I made mistakes from the very start,
And now I must pay for those, with damage to my heart
Stupid fantasies led me to believe you were 'the one'
I really want you to make some girl happy, 
But now I know,
She's not me

I didn't realize how much this would hurt me,
I guess I cared more than I knew
And I may have hurt you too
And all is forgiven.
In that aspect, I want to start fresh and new
but I know it won't really be the same,
Behind the fear and charade
I'm trying hard not to doubt you
With God I can trust
I just hope and pray you're feeling the same way,
Oh you must!

Sometimes I get caught back up in wishing it wasn't so,
But that's just petty infatuating, boy would I know!
I think I've recently matured in our friendship
And now I'm fairly certain that's all it will ever be
but still at times I may fall back,
And I then have regrets about letting you go
But I can't go through that again, I won't do it to myself
So I will fade back into the shadows

Someday my prince will come, and your princess too
But anymore I just don't think we are the missing,
Matching
Pieces of the other's puzzle
I don't want to be wrong on this,
Because I don't want to go back
For I'm not sure I could step out on that limb of trusting you again
Oh, how so much can change in a week, a day
But even still
In the blink of an eye

I don't know if ignorance really is bliss?
Not if your feelings and heart are involved for sure
For you can fall into an unhealthy cycle
Of 'fairytale dreams' and 'happily ever afters'

I know I'll always miss you with a piece of my heart
And from me, your memory will never depart
You will always be special to me
In a way others don't understand,
But that ache will fade some
I'll move on,
And I will then be free to dream again

My Secrets, Not Yours, To Be Told

You betrayed my trust
I should have been more perceptive
For it was already broken once

I was warned: don't trust that girl
I should have known
you couldn't be told

Why can't I keep quiet
All the things of passion in my heart
More discerning
Guarded
Not bursting forth as a fountain

I look you in the eye
Deception reflecting from yours, in min
Iced over
Numb & cold
Can't believe what you did
Not only once, but twice

It wasn't your secret to be told
You didn't care enough
And it easily slipped right out
Those were my secrets,
Not yours, to be told

Not everyone is as cruel as you
Leaking out secrets
That were better to be kept
From you altogether
So many things I've learned the hard way

Others know you as a gossip mill
While telling another's secret
But never your own
Oh no
You keep those locked up
Because you trust no one else
For you see no better in another
As you know of yourself

Can I forgive you?
Maybe
But forget?
I truly don't know
Because those were my secrets,
Not yours,
To be told

If I Would Write a Song

If I would write a song
It most definitely would be about you
I'd tell everyone your story & show them the real you

If I could write a song
I'd say you had a passion for what's right
A fire burning in your soul
To show the world God's Light

I would tell how much you care
About the little things in life
Like your little brother's loose tooth,
And your sister's A in Spanish

I would tell of your Sunday school teaching 'career'
How you rescued Suzy's kitten from a tree
You're every little boy's hero 
Playing 'Cowboys & Indians' all afternoon long

I would reminisce of that warm sunny day
Not long ago in June
when we frolicked in the river
All afternoon long
When you kissed me softly on the lips
And said you were all mine

You are wonderful in every way
No I'm not biased at all

You light up the room
Whenever you walk through the door
Morning, noon, & night
Your eyes sparkle with true joy
Everyone around sees the changes in you,
From boy to man
Striving to be the person
God has planned

If I could write a song
I would tell the world how much
I love you
