Vanishing

The sun burns brilliantly. Blazing threw my soul. To balm my numb body. Making me feel once again. I can feel it liquefy the ice within. Cold water seeping down my arms and legs. Creating crystal tears, dropping form my fingertips. You are my sunbeam, my blazing star. You are my ardent light.

My Undoing

My soul aches when I think of you. My soul cries when I touch you. My soul shutters when I hear the sound of you. My soul melts when I taste you. My soul loses it’s control around you. You are my undoing.

The Unnamed

It was yet again, another ending to another day filled with endless thoughts of you. The feelings of emptiness, doubt and impatience. Where are you? When are you going to come? Forever waiting to look up and see your face. Constantly anticipating that shock of recognition that you are the one whom I have been waiting for! It is strange to me, this feeling that you are out there, somewhere. But it is the only sure feeling that I have. Anxiety of wondering if you will see me, if you will know, as I do, keeps me up at night.

Boredom At 2:18PM

I am alone

at a mahogony desk

with scratches at the edges

from some careless trustee

back in '82 when I was

only a girl in love with

John Stamos and Travis Wainman.

I sat at a desk then too

next to Mike Vogel and Lisa Hall.

I made engravings there

"CC +TW 4-Ever!"

"Math Sucks"

while Mr. Aiken spouted off something

about equations...

how to solve them...

should have been listening

but it was 2:18PM and minutes

from a bell I much anticpated: A prelude

A simple Dream

They always said that it was impossible

As always I strived to make it possible

I was not going to accept their negativity

Now it was time to show them my creativity

My disabilities were not going to get in the way

Let them talk until they run out of things to say

Their denial was my most needed motivation

I will walk until I reach my wanted destination

Some stood by my side as other’s started the trash talking

Even if the roads became longer I will keep on walking

Plea For Love

How could I proceed?

When I lost all I need

Tell me the words to say

Only you make pain go away

Lady, please listen to this heart

For it was hit by cupid’s dart

How can I live this life?

Without you as my only wife

There are words I could write

But will they make us unite

Under the summer moon

Or on a chilly afternoon

Please be my shoulder

As the weather turns colder

Why should we come to this?

Can't you forgive with one kiss?

Or will you let me cry for years

For A Special Lady

Could I just depart?

From your heart

Or will my mind

Constantly rewind

To our yesterday

How do I walk away?

When you mean so much

I need your every touch

I try to keep it within

Like I’m hiding a sin

My face says it all

Without you I’d fall

Into the pits of pain

Surrounded by rain

Oh this must be wrong

I need you to be strong

Alone I will not survive

You keep me alive

Only you feel right

Like a clear summer night

Please make my tears

Determined

Silence will not prevail

Failure will not set sail

No sir this young man

Will do all he possibly can

To prove that he will achieve

All the dreams you did deceive

Your rejection will not stop

This lad from reaching the top

You can try but you won’t succeed

He has all he will ever really need

A bunch of dreams that you ignored

He deeply loved and has stored

Into his heart until the very end

These dreams he does closely defend

When he said yes you said a simple no

Dream Attained

I allow my almighty pen
To speak to those arrogant men
They laugh at my hidden creativity
Are they qualified to judge my ability?
Jealousy painted a picture on their face
As I willingly put them in their  place
In this world dreams are mostly craved
Few allow these roads to be paved
Doors of the past are never closed
Weaknesses tends to be blatantly exposed
I admit that I am not a product of perfection
Instead I swim in the sea of their rejection
Tears will fall and that fact I will not hide
Strength is weakness if you put it aside

His Yesterday

The door is closed
As pain is exposed
Sick of the rejection
Strives for perfection
Pursuer of his dreams
Victim to their screams
Tears are never shown
His passion is known
As he picks up his pen
He travels to back then
To before he met pain
A place that will remain
In his mind for all time
Where a smile is no crime
A land that only he knows
Full of Broadway shows
Oh he misses those nights
Without the constant fights
As he writes his last line
His face starts to shine
Like he did in the past
