The Moments

"I bet many little girls

With big, bright eyes

And bouncy little curls

Have had plenty of dreams

With images in pen

And pencils and markers

They dreamed of men

Who could hold them tightly

They imagined a loving team

A partnership with a man

A gentleman full of dreams

That would care more than any other

A man that can carry them away

They imagine moments of tenderness

And how he'll always stay

They imagine things that he will do 

I imagined that too

My life was filled with dreams 

I prayed for them to come true

Even if I hid it inside"

From my poem, "The Moments"

Only Three

"I cried many tears

I opened many cuts

I fought many fears

I died many deaths

I went through many hells

And all I can think of

Is you

Your wonderful self

And How

You saved me

You love me

You held me

You kissed me

You served so many

You brought much love

You stood for liberty

You fought for what's right

So many words I've heard

So many words have been spoken

But only three

Make a difference to me

And they are

I love you"

My Poem, "Only Three"

On Clouds of Love

"I once flew over a silver moon but the moon turned crimson and dripped with blood so I slit it across my wrists. I once danced on the clouds below a shining sun but the sun turned black and fell. He tried to rekindle the flame but he can't do it by himself. He needs my help. So I plead with him that we can start with a new golden moon. And we can dance in a new way on clouds of love."
