Danielle Ste Poem
I met you today
Memory you will erase
I stayed positive
I could feel your pain
You did not want to let go
Our paths must part now
The tears were hidden
until I was left alone
I miss you dearly
Sense cannot be made
Of the circumstances that be
Fate dealt a cruel hand
I had just met you
But our friendship ran too deep
Then you said to me
We shall never again speak.

Danielle Ste Poem
Memorial Day
Nightmares haunt him in his sleep
The faces of soldiers he couldn't keep
His body drenched in sweat, yet
shivering with chill
As I lay beside him wishing peace
within would hold him still
He sees their shadows in memories
throughout the day
Yet he wakes and pushes on, willing it
away
The fireworks displayed on many
holidays
Remind him of sounds from those
horrid days
He defended our country, his actions
are with honor
Yet in his reflection he cannot see the
valor in the mirror
Scars from battle are visible on his skin
But the scars run so much deeper
within
He walks with regret because he no
longer serves and protects
His body worn down, but he worries
about the men that he feels he neglects
A man of honor, a soldier, a vet
Someone many easily forget
Their sacrifices are more than most
can imagine
The simple idea many could not fathom
So, today remember those who have
fallen and do not forget
To be thankful for the service of our
Vets.

Danielle Ste Poem
You think you know me
Look through my eyes to see
You don't know my fears,
Angers, what brings me tears
You see my pretty face
And curves in all the right places
You don't see the ugly rot inside
too far gone to be revived
You don't know my passions in life
or all my struggles and strife
You see me as loving and sweet
deep within is misery, no treat
When you look deep into my eyes
You see your own reflection
My eyes hide my fear and depth
your lust is for a misconception
You must break down my walls
To even begin to know the real me
when I speak it it is in truth
But I can tell a good story

Danielle Ste Poem
I have married two men in my life
And I loved neither
I have loved two men in my life
And I couldn't marry either
The relationship with each
Fleeting though it may have been
Was magical and whimsical
Like sparks floating in the wind
Our souls linked together
In this life and perhaps another
One lives out a life in my dreams
without seeing him for many years
The other still a fresh memory
Provokes many fresh tears
I know they are not mine
To hold or to long for
But deep in my heart a memory
Is protected by a padlocked door
Let go and let love
Is what they always say
Let go and let live
Is the lesson I obey
For these are kindred spirits
Or at least I pray
Just a glimpse of my soul mate
And how he'll be one day
For in all my pain and agony
I have lost myself and others
But my journey is just beginning
Because I know there is another

Danielle Ste Poem
What are you?
What is a painter
Without his brush
What is a lover
Without his lust
What is a poet
Without his lyric
What is a doctor
Without the sick
What is an artist
Without his muse
What is a survivor
Without the abuse
What is joy
Without the sadness
What is humility
Without the madness
What are you
Without your words
Actions speak louder
Lack of them burns

Danielle Ste Poem
Alone
When I wake
Alone
When I sleep
Alone
When I'm happy
Alone
When I'm sad
Alone
When I'm mad
Alone
When I'm in pain
Alone
When I'm in love
Alone
When I'm with others
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Do I choose to be alone to be safe
Or do I choose it for peace
Even in laughter and love
Right now, I am alone
