To Hug a Bear

Twas that frightful night,

Twas all alone,

The wind was howling,

The moon shone.

She came running, wild.

Wheat hair did flow.

Stars twinkled in blue

Eyes that fear did know.

Her hammering heart was

Ready to burst.

The wild bear behind her

Sought blood for thirst.

As she tripped and fell,

She heard a fierce growl.

She steeled her heart for death,

Was ready for foul.

But to her surprise another

Bear did appear.

He fought so valiantly,

She had to cheer.

As the first bear did

Sink to death,

She suddenly realized

What she was left with.

She jumped, ready to spring

But tripped by her feet.

The bear was upon her

And their eyes did meet.

The kindness she saw

Confused her so.

He nuzzled at her hand,

Her eyes like a doe.

She reached out playfully and

Poked his nose.

A hearty growl shook the ground,

echoing through her toes.

A giggle escaped her lips,

Floated like stars.

The moon reflected

Wary as Mars.

Were they friends,

Bear and doe?

Or just wild?

Only they know.

My friend asked me to write a poem for him and this is what I came up with. It was fun. =) ~T

My Best Friend

Create that color book picture
color in it all
rip one out for me
and paste it on the wall
Big and Bold
write my name
for all to see
It remains the same
when you forget me
when you get bored
you paint me over
and my tears I will ford
The picture of yours
I ripped it out
and pasted it on my wall
at it now, I shout
No paint for me
I still see you
even when you cut me deep
I know what's true
You are my Best friend
Though you don't seem to remember
I am that til the end
maybe you just lost my number
Though yours I know by heart
Just know that I miss you
No matter where you are
I'll survive this amnesia with tissues
Do not fear
You are my Best friend
and I'll never forget
I'll remember til the end.

This is dedicated to the person I have considered as one of my Best friends since we were in elementary school together. She moved away years ago and we have kept in touch over the years with her visiting and phone calls but lately I haven't heard from her at all even when I try to contact her with messages on facebook and texts... Hurts to feel like your friend has forgotten you or doesn't care to talk to you. =*( ~T

We Create in Different Ways

Again, going to talk before the poem. :) This poem was inspired moments ago by my realization that I love it when people comment and like about my art work and scenery photos I post on facebook. Where I post art, my friends and family post pictures of their children. I'm sure they feel proud and happy when people "like" and comment on the pictures of their children too. ~T

Smile, birth
Smile, create
photo, awww!
photo, neat!
1 step, 2 step, Cheer!
1 line, 2 line, review.
giggle, giggle, Hug!
snap, snap, upload.
scribble, scribble, fridge.
Doodle, doodle, display.
your children, your creation.
my children, my creation.

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...

Her

Each breath brings her closer to tears
what has she done with all the years?
Las Vegas stole part of her soul
Now she searches for a new goal
God granted one small blessing
Now it's time for nesting
what path will drop before her next?
only hope will get her through the tests.

This one was inspired by a friend of mine. From my point of view, she has had a rough time through life. But hopefully things are looking up from now on.

Stars in the Sky

By the wings of my heart
I fly at night
mind and soul wretched apart
I take flight
take me somewhere peaceful
soft nature surrounds
take me somewhere beautiful
where I'll never be found
floating silently
I soar by
riding the wind gallantly
but all you see is the sky
and rain drops fall
from a clear starry night
don't look appalled
like this isn't right
explanations are pointless
just enjoy what God gave us
close your eyes
and soar with me
I promise
you'll be happy.


I wrote this within the last year and a half. I was tired of conflict and betrayals of friends and vowed that if I could just escape it all I could be happy and if I could bring those with me whom I trusted and held dear, that they too could escape it. But they had to trust me first...because one who is silent and only writes out her opinions and feelings apparently gains no merit easily, even among friends. To be honest, I have found over these last few years that I have few friends that have stayed true and among those few most are related to me by blood. Sometimes I feel it's just me, that there is something about me that people ignore me or my opinions and feelings and thus I become a small person they pay little heed and reverence and so when times of strife are upon us...they abandon my advice to their own selfish wants. But I know I am not one to be ignored. Those who choose to do so are foolish. A foolish man leads a foolish life of no value.
