Stalker 3/15/2006
Every step I take
I feel it walk with me
Every breath I take
I feel it breath with me
I'm helping it to breathe
I can't run away
It's always there
I try to pretend it doesn't exist
But this silent stalker
A killer lingers with in my flesh
When the treatments have begun
and my short brown hair falls out
The tendentious diagnosis
A death sentence with it's devouring ...

My True Love 3/13/2006
I thought
That I would never find my true love
Until I met you
Love is the most important part of my life
I want our relationship to last
Forever
And ever more
Our love came so naturally
But
We must both work to make it last
Oh my love
I will always try to understand you
My love you are so real
And
I love and respect you
Until the stars fall down from the sky above ...

Captured Moments 2/26/2006
If you had one moment in time
Would you capture it
Or would you let it all slip away
I see your face in my mind
Also in my dream as well
I feel as our hearts have connected
And our sould have become one
If you had one moment in time
Would you capture it
Or let it all slip away
For destiny is our key
And it is true
Should we act upon it as one
If you had one moment in ...

Knocked Into Yesterday 2/17/2006
Trudging thru life,
Day after day -
I know how to do this,
Nothing new.
It's comfortable this way.
Keep my head down.
Don't get hurt.
<br>
Then one day
I let my head up.
And suddenly REALLY saw him.
<br>
His magical smile slammed into my heart,
And knocked me clear back into my teens.
I'm falling into beautiful eyes -
His boyish grin grabs me.

We had become so cold and all alone when we met by chance in
the chatroom....we were simply amazed with all we had in
common...the wants and desires for a richer and happier
life with someone who needed not all the material items
that others want in life...only love and the warm gentle
touch from that special someone....we finally met and
we have never been apart...she is my true love and ...

Reach Out and Consequence 2/8/2006
Reaching out in the grey cover of human fog, a hand found
mine,
It was yours.
Fingers curling, together, minds exploring thoughts
and words.
Two humans became one,
And a tower grew where nothing was before.
And then.....you disappeared.
And the tower dissipated with you.
<br>
Sometimes towers and people are only temporary.
What is eternal is the reaching out..... ...

Words can hurt
they tear through the space between us
and fall like arrows
some wide of the mark
some scratching the surface
and some piercing the heart.

would be better to be a solid unfeeling block
