Simple

I want something simple
Someone to hold my hand
Like when I was little
When we would cross the street
They wanted me safe
They wanted me close
They wanted me
Or when my brother was little
I would hold his hand
Because he wanted to be safe
He wanted to be close
He wanted me
When someone holds your hand
It's because they want you safe
They want you close
They want and love you
That is what I want
Someone to want me safe
Someone to want me close
Someone to want me

Something Strange

Something strange
About when you hold my hand
You probably don't think twice about it
But it's interesting
How comfortable you seem around me
How hard you try to impress me
How much you want me to like things
Like everything you do
You want my approval
It's strange
Yet somehow seems...nice

One Wish

If I had one wish
That wish would be
For you to stay forever with me
Within our house
Within our home
And you would never need to roam
Because you'd have me
And I'd have you
And it would be nice
With just us two
And by my side you'd forever stay
Never wanting once to stray
And neither of us would ever be lonely
If I were scared, you would hold me
And I would do the same for you
And it'd be nice just us two
Yes, if I had one wish to see
It'd be forever you and me

Space

Sometimes at night
When I'm alone
And the moon shines through the window
When I'm aglow from white light
All is quiet and calm
I think about space
What it would be like
To just float endlessly on
To not be living
But neither be dead
Just to exist
Just to be here
Or there
Or everywhere
Or nowhere
To be part of space
Something larger than myself
I think of my native ancestors
What did they think
When gazing at the moon
Did they imagine life
Crops and growth
Hunting and fishing
Death and cycles
Or did they too
Even then
Think of floating endlessly
Just existing

A Really Long Question

Have you ever found someone
Not really found, they were always there
How about located
No, they weren't lost, at least you didn't know they were
Discovered, uncovered
Yes, I like that
Have you ever discovered someone
In perhaps an unlikely place or way
That you knew the person before
But not really knew them
And by talking and getting to know that person
You found yourself
And you would risk everything
To keep this person close
And maybe you didn't have a friend before
At least not really
And perhaps you were slowly falling
And you wanted to give up on things before you met this person
And they happened to come at just the right time
You didn't let anyone close, you were dying inside
But you trusted this person
And this person has pretty much saved you from yourself
Because they were so much like yourself
That they were able to help you?

Days

I think of what's to come
And what I've done
And it goes something like this

I had a home and a simple life
Didn't have much
At least not in the way of love
I was small back then, or at least that's what they say
I sure didn't feel young

That was what used to be
Before I had you and you had me
Back before I knew the right way
Back in those days

There was a story once told to me
That I keep with highest secrecy
And I don't know for certain
But I have a feeling that you might have been a little like me
A little lost without a clue

That was what used to be
Before I had you and you had me
Back before you knew the right way
Back in those days

But the future looks bright
As we talk night to night
And make plans and promise to not be like we were
And keep each other sure

That what we used to be
Isn't the future you and me
Now together we know the right way
Now in the together days

Loneliness

It's different when you're lonely
And no one is around
There are people in the house
But no one makes a sound

It's different when you're lonely
When there is nothing to do
Because that is when your problems
All come back to you

It's different when you're lonely
The problems have you trapped
And they surround you and consume you
Until your mind is wrapped

It's different when you're lonely
The problems don't stop there
They make their way to your heart
Your emotions to tear

It's different when you're lonely
You want to cry out in pain
But you know that you can't wake them
So silent you remain

It's different when you're lonely
And sleep never comes
And you wait for day to break
Feeling cold and numb

It's different when you're lonely
The sun finally rises
And you hope the coming day
Won't hold any lonely surprises

Creative Talking

This isn't really a poem, this is more like my creatively rambling on about something. Enjoy anyway.

Some people sing because its fun
Some because they are forced to
Yet others still because they have nothing to do
I sing for reasons entirely different
I sing when I am inspired
I sing when I need to escape
There is something nearly magical
About the fact that you can open your mouth
And let the music over take you
And empty your lungs and cleanse mind and body

Some people love because its cool
Because other people are doing it
I love because something inside me
Tells me that I have to
That if I don't, I won't survive
Sometimes I don't even think
My heart cares if the other person loves me
As long as I love that person it is happy
Other times it threatens to tear me apart
Piece by piece
If that person doesn't say they love me
I don't think it understands
I can't control other people
But despite this, I still keep it
What else is a person to do

Apology

I'm sorry that I am upset
I'm sorry that I am hurt
I truly do not mean to be
I truly need for you to see
I'm sorry that you've lost my trust
I'm sorry that I've let that happen
I'm sorry I don't know what to do
How to act or speak around you
I'm sorry that to me something has changed
I'm sorry my heart's been rearranged
I want for things to go back
To be the way they were
You and me and no one else
Why did you take that from me
We were so happy
So why did you ruin it
Now my heart is bleeding
And I don't know what to do
I can either choose to stay
Or run away from you

Knowing

I know why I love being with you
Why I feel like I need it all the time
Because the only way I can make sure
That you are completely safe and ok
Is when I can see you next to me
And I know why I love holding you
Having you in my arms
Being able to feel your breath on my skin
Because then too I know
That you are healthy and well
And I know why I still need you
Why I always will need you
Because I care about you now and forever
And because I love you

Hugs

It's a warm soul sharing
Saying it doesn't matter
What happened in the past
Or what's happening in the future
Or even what's going on right now
All that matters is you and me
Right here, right now
That's all that's left
I forgive you for everything
I'm sorry for anything I've done
I care so deeply for you
And I want you to know that
I love you.
That is a hug.

Thunderstorm

I can't help but wonder
As I lie upon my bed
Late at night when all is quiet
And the only sound is the
Gentle tapping of the rain
On the window pane
How a person who meant so much
Who you talked to every day
Who was the most beautiful girl in the world
Who was your dearest friend
Who you deeply loved and cared for
Can simply not exist any longer
And when the winds pick up
And the lightning crashes, once, far away
I think of the distance you put between us
Of the pain I felt for so long from awayness
And my current sense of indifference
A feeling I waited for, to stop the pain
But am not sure how to handle now
I wonder how you feel
And when the thunder softly sounds
The rain comes down harder
Maybe you think of me
Maybe you feel the pain too
Just when you think it is quiet
You see lightning just outside the window
So close and the thunder shakes your home
Perhaps you care about me
And feel sorrow when you hear my name
When your friends mention me
When you see me, or things that I gave you
When your sister talks of me
Or maybe you have no feeling
And have done what I am doing now
Blocking out the sad, loneliness
In the process, also the good
But something must block the pain
You must stop caring
The storm reaches the climax
Lightning so close, nearly touchable
That just disappears with no trace
Like the hopes of you and me again
The storm quiets, ending
Just as we must do
But the next storm
I just can't help but wonder

Sleepless

night
peace
silence
someone is crying
always at night
every night
someone
somewhere in the world
is crying
helplessness has led them to tears
no one listens
no one cares
because if someone did
they wouldn’t be crying

Rainbows Are Overwhelming Joy (an acrostic)

Rain comes
And we
Intently look at the sky
Needing to see something that
Brings hope to our lives
Opens our hearts and
Weakens our stubbornness that we may
Sing and show compassion
All that we have kept inside
Revealing who we really are to
Everyone in the world
Opens our minds to the
Vast knowledge that comes when
Everybody learns to
Relax and
Watch the sky so they may
Help others because when
Everyone
Loves
More
Is accomplished in
Not as much time as before
Giving us the ability to
Jump and reach the unknown
Only if we all would look not just
You and me

No More

Dearest love
Hidden secret
No more shall I suffer
No more shall I be victim
To the cruelty
That comes from being me
Who I am
How I live
The torture I
Receive
From the inside
My innermost being
From myself
No one to blame but myself
No one’s fault but my own
How does this happen
That I should be this way
In any case
It shall not exist
Anymore
I can’t stand it
Anymore
No more shall I suffer
No more!

Wisdom

No one can worry
All the time
As the birds
In the sky
There has to come
A time
Where it stops
It must
But where
Shall we be
When the time comes
Shall we be listening
When worrying seizes to exist
Or shall we instead
Be so wrapped up in our troubles
That we forget to listen
And wonder throughout eternity
Doing the one thing
That was so important
That we forgot to listen

Introduction

Nearly all things have an introduction, so why would this be an exception to that rule? Besides, I think it may need a bit of an intro. I will post some of my best poetry on this lovely blog (perhaps you knew that by the title). And maybe some of my worst too. Maybe some of my friend's too (if they give me permission, and if they ever bothered to write any, wouldn't hold my breath for that...). And anyone that wishes to comment may (well, I'm not sure how blog rules are for that, but if you want to comment, feel free to figure out how). And...that is probably enough of an intro. Enjoy!
