Red

I am the color that stands for love.
I am the hearts that fill up your box.
I am the rose that sits on your table.
I am the dress you wear on a date.
I am the ribbon on a perfectly wrapped package.
I am the stripes on the American flag.
I am the sign that warns you to turn back.
I am the anger on your face.
I am the pen on your test, “F”.
I am the horns on your biggest fear.
I am the color that stands for love,
But I am also the blood that drips off your knife.

The Stone Walls

If the heart was stone walls…
The years would build it so high and tall.
It would be so strong, to hold everything in.
Wishes, dreams, even secrets could not escape.
Then, a lonely Soul comes by one day, to admire the walls.
In all it’s days, the walls have seen nothing like it. 
It sparkled like the moon, but still so fragile and little. 
The walls thought, “It couldn’t it be so bad. I must let it in.”
Aware of the consequences it could have, 
The old wooden doors still swung open.
The grateful Soul walked in slow and carefully,
Making sure to pick up any broken pieces it see’s along the way.
They got to know each other well, the walls and that Soul.
Confidence was built, trust was gained.
Some stones did have a few cracks in them to begin with, 
But they were soon banded together with feeling for the Soul that lasted forever.
Only the Soul could say things to the stones that made them want to melt.  
“I love you” was the biggest one of all. 
They were only little words, but they knew how to build the walls up higher and higher.
Days had gone by and time came when the Soul, feeling full and satisfied,
Wandered out those gates, in came in so long ago,
Only to carry on it’s way.
And that is when the walls found the one word that could tear them back down.
“Goodbye.” was all that stumbled out of it’s mouth.
They fell with a shattering crash that echoed throughout the land.
Rain followed, to form a moat.
Protecting the walls that only time could rebuild.
Hoping that one day they could once again swing their doors open
to that sad, lonely Soul. They could only wait.
And that’s what would happen 
If the heart was stone walls...

Twisted Kiss

My hands are shaking, 
My knees are weak. 
What is this falling? 
A tear, on my cheek?
I’m trembling, 
Shaking at the thought. 
I see them glisten, 
The shine of the gloss. 
I feel the poison sink into my lips,
I have been infected by the twisted kiss. 
It is only faith, 
But this can’t be my time, 
I am the first to go,
But, then again, how am I to know?

Guess

I’M...
Red, Sticky, and Thick,
Could make you look like your dead.
Not eaten by a flea or tick,
And it’s always said.

I go wonderful with potatoes,
It’s a good match up.
I’m made out of tomatoes,
I love being ketchup!

Teddy Bear

A true Valentine’s friend 
Quiet, still, and the best listener
He doesn’t lie, interrupt or brag
But waits for the end
He comforts me when I’m sad
And dances when I’m happy
With four little hearts for footprints

Big black eyes, little pink nose
Holding a heart with X’s and O’s
Pink curls from nose to toes
He wears on his neck pink hearts on a bow 
A big smile that lights up his face
And mine

My Life

The first time I was on a near death experience,
I was 25

Cold winter day
Lightly snowing
Icy roads
Frost coved windshields 
Car lights passing
And gone
Kids in the backseat
Music going loud
Talking on the phone
Screaming and crying 
Wild like a zoo...my zoo

On the freeway 
Signs flying by,
Cars speeding past
A deer in the center of my lane
Sliding this way and skidding that way
I heard the kids go quite then screaming 
Louder than before with fear in their voices
It was all a blur
We were on a thin sheet of ice and I heard cracking 
But the one thing I can remember the most was what I didn’t know 
How to make it all go away, how to make it back to normal 
Living my life the same, I don't think I can

I don't really remember what happened 
Next but there was a flash of light and I shut my eyes,
But when I opened them 
We were in a white room, bright with lots of colors
Flowers, toys, big teddy bears
 

1 deer is all that it took 
For me to realize how 
Fragile and precious life is...
I didn't know what happen but I think I had help from above...

Will I Jump

On the edge, here I stand
Can I jump?
I need to escape the pain,
The lies, the hurt, and 
The forever lasting love.
On the edge, here I stand,
Should I jump?
For if I do, will anyone miss me,
Or will I go unnoticed? 
On the edge, here I stand,
Could I jump?
Is death the answer?
Or should I just disappear?
On the edge, here I stand,
Will I jump?
