Living In My Shoes

2007-08-07T18:18:00.000-04:00

Hey bloggers! It's been a while since I have posted anything. I think a whole year! Well, here are a few new poems of mine that I have written recently:

Piano Keys

Piano keys
create a beat
tap you foot
and grab a seat
and listen to
the blind man’s words
of wisdom.

Piano keys
dance between
a young man’s fingers
till they gleam
stealing the night
away.

These little keys
dance the streets
into homes
of thunder.

They dance beneath
stark green leaves
and watch
as flowers
bloom.

They sing the song
of life gone wrong
of dark melodies
to come
of words unsaid
of memories erased
of unforgiven dreams
that plague.

These black and white
piano keys
whisper darkness
whisper please
do not forget
of little me.

They continue on
to dance beyond
your visions
to
your dreams.

Dance,
dance,
piano keys
for one day
they,
too,
will stand
still.

Reality

Reality is more
than what is
Now.

It is more
than what was
Then.

It is more
than what will
Come.

It is the means
to an end.

It comes
and goes
but never stays.

A visitor
in it’s house.

It borders on
Insanity
testing what Time
will tell.

Neither here
nor there
but somewhere
in between
lies the common ground
in which
Reality
can be seen.

Hello, bloggers!!
Here are a couple of more poems that I wrote:

NEVER ENDING RAINBOWS

Rainbows
that never end
cover the skies
and engulf the mountains
leaving us
behind

Their colors bright
against the white
they’re a fleeting memory
come the night
but still they come
a silent mouse
creeping over
the hills at bay
a slow smile sweeping
upon this day

Red, yellow
they mark the sky
as a bruise marks
a broken heart

They stretch on for miles
never ending
its trail flat
against the clouds
making a path
to follow.

Where this rainbow leads
no one knows
for some things are left
to chance
but as we watch
in its trance
we cannot help
but wonder
where does
this never ending rainbow
stop
and where
does life
begin?

STAGES OF LOVE

Burning desire
fills my soul
my heart on fire
blackened charcoal.

His love for her
powerful,
strong,
fills the weeping night
singing their song.

Rage explodes
anger permits
harsh words said
a test of their limits.

Love,
Passion,
Angers,
and tears
the four stages of love,
gone through the years.

All that is left,
an empty black hole,
dividing their souls
on every dark road.

The end will come
to those who wait
for one never knows
ones own fate.

Love,
Passion,
Anger,
and tears
the four stages of love
gone through the years.

Below is a short poem that I wrote recently:

Morning Flowers:

Fresh flowers
from my garden
grace my sadden
tone.

They brighten up
the morning
yet cease to ease
my mourning.

These
beautiful,
beautiful
flowers
have yet
to truly
grow.

Hello, again!

Since one of my passions is peotry, I have decided to post my poems. Here is one of my favorite poems and one of the first I ever wrote.

A Ticking Clock

A fragement of life
an afterthought
one pure moment
that never stops
for when it does
reality appears
like a ticking clock
that guides you through
the years.

Passes hours,
passes minutes
life's a ticking clock
waiting,
waiting,
to be stoppped.

Hello!

"To truly be happy is to live in the company of those you love."

In life, we are given only so many pleasures, so many passions. I have decided to dedicate this blog to anyone who has a passion in life. My passions are helping the world and making an impact in other people's lives. I want to help the world, no I need to. So this is my blog, where my passions and the passions of those who come here are celebrated. I have many passions in my life including writing and peotry. I love to run and to laugh. I love to meet new people and make new friends. I love to live.

Every person who enters my blog is welcome to post about their passions. In fact, I encourage it. So come here, relax, read a little poetry, and share the things important to your life. This blog is for you, so enjoy. I hope you have a good time!

xoxo,
