Poems: Secretly...

My one true desire,
She ignites me and sets my soul on fire,
While she sits with who she believes is her one and only,
I stand alone without her, cold and lonely,
I pray all day just for a dream,
If only for a moment to be happy and completely serine,
I wish only for her joy,
If only I could be her boy,
I wish we could walk hand in hand in stride,
My life would be hers to guide,
As of now she knows not of my feelings and I could only guess,
If only I could ask for more and risk nothing less.
I know there are moves to make,
But how can I, when there could be three hearts who's stand to break,
Do I even cross her mind,
Is it best to stand in the shadows far behind,
Could I make her see things clearer,
Can I even be the man she needs me to mirror,
I'll tell her in due time,
But won't I be crossing a line,
I know its her decision to make,
But now it appears it's only my heart who's stands to break,
For years now that has been my epic struggle,
I would die to know that I caused her this much trouble.
Is it fair,
No but this is my pain I need to bare,
Mine and mine to own,
I much rather see her happy even if it means I stay alone.
Until that day, I'll be in constant prayer,
For now this is my secret I dare not share.

Poems: Stories Untold

So many stories collected,
Tales of dragons, fairies and princes selected,
Votes were in, destruction elected.
What took decades to build, wiped out in an instant,
Isn’t that always the case, now looking back so very distant,
How could it all be, were we really this different.
Days, months, years, expectations rose,
The final bell has rung, curtains close,
Cold air of relief, I froze .
Never able to return,
No matter how much we yearn,
Who said cold air couldn’t burn,
As we watch the final page turn.


Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Did I lose it all,
If it's meant to be, we will stand tall.
But Anger, Rages Deep, Souls on fire,
You against the world as they all conspire,
Look Harder, Slower, Longer,
Realize there’s no one to Blame, be Smart, be Stronger.
