Leave it Behind

That rear view mirror
is like chocolate
you crave it
That rear view mirror
is bitter sweet
it's hard to forget
That rear view mirror
calls my name...
I wanna punch it
That rear view mirror
makes me regret
makes me sad
That rear view mirror
needs to disappear
so, I'll leave it behind.

So many times we find ourselves drawn to things that remind us of the past, things we need to forget and move on from. I found myself drawn to something like that today. It's an awful feeling of despair, regret...thinking... what if? But we can't change the past and some things are better off left there. Move on.

Invisible Hands

Faceless friends
hold out their invisible hands for me
silly me, I smile
and jump into the crowd, crowd surfing
as I hit the floor
I begin to cry
always there, invisibly
supporting me...
ya right.


So I wrote this poem after checking my email to see if anyone I had email my story I'm currently working on to. Most of the people are friends I hardly see ever, some are family though... But it's been 2 days and no one has replied yet about what they think... I think they haven't probably started even reading it. I know some didn't even get around to it the last time I sent out the email w/ the previous chapters... So frustrating. I really need reader imput and feed back and I'm getting zilch. *sigh* Can't always be easy writing...

When the Pain Hits

Twinges of pain beat at me
What will this mean?
How do I explain to someone who wants to be with me?
with each pinch,with each wince
I see my future bleak...
everything is uncertain
Trust in God, I think
Maybe something wonderful is behind this curtain
the pain is a veil
that only with the Lord's help can I lift
Until then, I will just hunch over and endure
when the pain hits.

This is a personal, literal poem.

Time Flies

Time to live
Time to die
All we can be certain
is that time flies
Out the door
out the window
over the fence...
oh, how it blows...
Carried away on the breeze
we try to reach for it
we wish to make it freeze
Lost through our fingers
we chase it
Higher, higher, it flies
we cannot reach it
we sink to the ground
to cry
we should have listened, payed heed
when they told us, time flies...

Within

In the silent of the night
I hear your stars echo bright
your love embraces me
Yet still, fear, in my heart, does beat
Can I hold this change?
As my eyes search the pages
Where will I stand?
I just wanna take your hand
Take my fear away
In my heart, I want you to stay
Forgive me
Your love in my heart,
I want it to beat
Holy is your name forever.
Amen.
