Music, one of my greatest loves; a true form of poetry. This, this is where a lot of my poetry is written.

Since the recent changes with tumblr my computer has refused to allow me to log in, therefore my posting has been significantly lessened, out of frustration I finally decided to create a new poetry blog, http://fromthemindofawriter2012.blogspot.com I will be posting 90% of all posts there from now on, however, I will still try to post poetry here every now and then. Here’s one of my newer poems.

Blank Pages

**

So many blank pages…

But what will I make of them?

Soon they will be filled with

Whimiscal magic of my design

Stories taking place in far off lands

That don’t exist anywhere else

But on the paper’s surface, and in my mind.

***

So many blank pages…

With which I can write as much as I like

It does not judge nor ask questions

It lies in wait for me to fill its space.

***

So many blank pages…

To me, they are never empty

But rather, the words are invisible

Awaiting the day someone puts their pencil to the paper

And makes the words visible for all to see.

It is a trusted friend,

That I welcome the sight of again and again

Yet as soon as it arrives, I find I’ve lost it

For so quickly the paper is no longer blank.

***
So many blank pages…

I do not see the emptiness of such blank sheets

Instead I see the stories that soon it will meet.

Run, Little Chicken, Run

*

Run, little chicken, run

Out for the day to have some fun

You can eat the bugs, the mice too

Enjoy the sun, it is good for you.

run, little chicken, run

Frolic about, or bask in the shade

Do whatever you like, it is your day

To do with as you choose.

Run, little chicken, run

Back to home, for the day is done

It’s time for bed, so lay down your head

Hop up on a roost

Or curl up in a nest

It doesn’t matter where you rest

Because you’re safe and sound

With all the other chickens around

And tomorrow you can play again

And have some fun

And run, little chicken, run.

Falling

*

I don’t know how to explain this feeling

I don’t know what to say

But I can feel myself falling faster

Day by day

My emotions, they have changed

I’m falling for you,

And I don’t know what to say.

At the beginning of each day,

I think of your pretty face

And wonder if you do the same

I know I’m falling in love again

Just when I thought the pain would never end

You came in, and captured my heart

Please oh please don’t tear it apart.

Is it possible you could be the one?
If so then I need to let you know

I’m falling…

Falling way too fast.

Yeah I’m falling for you,

Please oh please say you’re falling too?

Sabrina Justine

This isn’t one of my better poems, but it’s about a friend of mine who died of cancer a couple of years ago, and since she died in early March, I figured I’d post this.

*

Sabrina Justine is the bravest girl

I have ever known,
She lives without fear

Never worrying about the little things.
And although I have not known her long,

I shall miss her terribly when she’s gone.

*

Sabrina Justine is  my friend

and as long as she likes I will be here

To Listen when she needs an ear.

*
Sabrina Justine is a wonderful girl

More caring than most

She lives with a smile

Always making her life worthwhile.

*

Sabrina Justine, oh how I respect you,

You are only fourteen,

and already you are braver than I could ever hope to be.

Change (Near to me)

*

So close, yet so far away

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve prayed,

For something to change.

Thought for a minute you knew,

How I really felt for you,

But you don’t have a clue.

*

I just want you near, to me,

Wanna listen to your heart beat

And I know things aren’t going to change,

You’ll never feel that way.

I just want to hold, you close,

Don’t wanna ever let go

And I know things aren’t going to change,

you’ll never feel the same.

*

I thought at least we were good friends

But now you don’t seem to have the time

And I’ve been left behind.
Feels like I’ve been left at the door

Kicked aside, while you go inside

This wasn’t the change I had in mind.

*

I just want you near, to me,

Wanna listen to your heart beat

and I know things aren’t going to change,

You’ll never feel that way.

I just want to hold, you close,

Don’t wanna ever let go

And I know things aren’t going to change,
You’ll never feel the same.

*

So close, yet so far away

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve prayed,
for something to change.
Thought for a minute you knew,

How I really felt for you

But you don’t have a clue…

The Magical Night

*

The night…

It’s like a blanket in which the stars sleep

It holds the moon,

Glowing brightly from where it sits

Yes, the night is magical.

The animals that hide during the day,

Now come out to play

All is calm, all is right,

On this beautiful, magical, night.

Wanting

*

Am I insane

For wanting what I cannot have?

I want her so bad,

I must’ve gone mad!

*

She does not know

if she did would she care?
Or would she turn her back on me,
And forget everything?

*

I’ve been wanting her so long

That no longer does it feel wrong.

I feel so complete

When she’s near me.

*
But my feelings I hide

never letting her know

I’m wanting her so.

The Jewelry Box

*

Dark, dark brown

It’s been around for years

Just the sight of it nearly brings me to tears

It’s so strange to see it in my room

Just the sight of it reminds me of you.

Each drawer contains a memory of you

Different pieces you collected over the years

So much jewelry I doubt I’ll ever wear

Most of it looks so elegant, meant for dates or special occasions,

Some pieces I’d like to wear for special times

Like a pair of earrings I want to wear for my wedding.

It’s so strange to think that all of it is mine now

I reorganize the contents to create more space

And mix my jewelry with yours

Old memories mingling with new ones

As it sits here in my room

Reminding me of you…

I Love You

*

I love you…

Never have I spoken words so true

I love you…
And you say you love me too.

But are the two loves the same?
Do we look at each other in the same way?
I love you with all my heart, my soul
And I think you might be the one
To be with till I grow old.

Do you feel the same?
Or do you love me in a different way?
