Beauty and Kindness
It is believed the latter comes with the former,
But that is not right.
The former is something for which we yearn--
While the latter is something that we learn.
They rarely come together

Gabe Shelly Poem
Beauty is a flame--
Short if shallow, long if true--
Painful when not understood--
Yet a delight if you could--
It burns my heart

Gabe Shelly Poem
To see oneself in another is Beauty
Like sunlight through water droplets--
For it means we are not alone.
That as we travel through this "Never"
There is someone who cares

Gabe Shelly Poem
What is this feeling--
This sudden urge?
We all come to the edge,
And we all want to jump.
For something in us is crying--
For freedom--
For leaving.
And 'Dying is Knowing' then

Gabe Shelly Poem
What do you see when you look at me--
Your eyes say what they feel,
But I need to hear what they'd speak my dear--
Your pupils do bite and tear yet...
My ears do not listen to the stares they glare--
And I cannot understand these two mighty holes through me
Wondering as I fall,
"What made you so my love?"

Gabe Shelly Poem
Don't love me for what you see but for what I am--
When you cannot know what this is.
For that is more than the skin of a woman or man
Big-ass ****

Gabe Shelly Poem
They all gathered 'round some tittered others smiled
The chesty one with the long legs glared,
Nothing can be more inconsiderate than to be told "no"
Your dream is dead

Gabe Shelly Poem
This I must do
I have to rape you.
Going on your weary back,
Pushing myself as we continue.
Through you I will come
And always you groan
Every step, every breath
I gasp, you moan—
Anywhere I could go
But you I will only follow
The Bike Trail
(This is about running; I’ll go over it line by line for you. The first two lines are easy— when you are running along a trail you are hurting it through erosion, usage, etc. The third line is true because you are running on a path, not over it. The fourth is about fighting through the pain, making yourself run when your body wants you to stop. The fifth is also true for you are going somewhere ‘He came jogging down the path’. When you take a step—even walking—the ground beneath you makes a sound from your foot hitting it which is what the next line is talking about. The next two lines are basically describing that action. You are gasping for breath as your going and the ground beneath your feet makes a sound as you run or walk over it. The last two lines simply say that you could go anywhere but you are following the trail instead. I hope this makes sense to you.)

Elephant Ears
Hanging low and voluminous too,
Try to hide them they do,
But always they show--
To fondle them, kiss them, nuzzle them,
Ich liebe "Elephante Ohren"...
It's a German term

Gabe Shelly Poem
Diamonds on Elephant Ears,
A beauty from Heaven's tears.
Silver and green in a pretty, little scene,
Water reflecting Light like a firefly in the night.
All atop velvetty ears every summer year
(Elephant Ears are a type of plant. When water droplets rest upon them and the light reflects off of them they look like little diamonds.)
