Tonight

Great big eyes
With much surprise
From a far
In my car

One small kiss
My foreign bliss
Here and gone
Time moves along

See you soon
Under another moon
In your sight
A great tonight

Games

More time than normal
Not quite so formal
Watching those travels
Your soul I unravel

Sometimes I wonder
If I will end up under
Or on top of this
Reassurance kiss?

The clock is out
I am looking about
Where did you go?
Oh, off with that

All just a game

Neverland

reality depends on focus
focus often directed to things unreal
caught up in things that are wisps of smoke
suffocating and clouding the clear air
once so pure, now quite tainted
memory of breathing almost lost
gasping for gas to fill my lungs
aware it is time for fresh air again
realizing it is only found in Neverland
trapped in fantasy, smoke in my eyes
luckily tears often help me find the way home

You never have the one you want

You said hello today,
I said hello to you,
asked me on a foray.
too bad you have no clue.
I guess I'll say hooray!
Inside I feel so blue.

This poem describes the interaction between myself and two guys.

Just talking

Maybe the best time I have had
Discovering the reasons we are sad
What does it mean to be alive
Caring and loving your answers derive
If someone ever asked if I knew
any good man, it would be you.

you inspire

you make me think

writing not just with ink

time we spend together

can we make it forever?

the places we travel

my heart will unravel

expose my true feelings

not the plan of our dealings

not all the way

but still in the grey

do you like me 

or just want to be?

it was only one kiss

progressing to this

imagination on fire

the thoughts you inspire

notes: friends are funny things. One of mine asked me one day if I was attracted to another guy friend. I answered of course I was and questioned if friendships are ever formed if both parties do not find the other side attractive. Relationships are not just for people who are together romantically, but are family and friends. What are friends though? When friends begin to spend time together is it inevitable that they will begin to develop more feelings for them? I see this friend almost every day. Was it always going to happen? Writing has become an emotional release for me. People are complicated, they love you until you have something they want. If you knew would you still love me? I want to believe yes. I am sure we are not as sneaky as we would hope. Right now I wish things were different. I wish you liked me. You know in that special way. Who knows what next month will bring though.

the wingman always scores more than the actual dude  -- one day it will be in my book, promise

Dear you,

You are creative, and see the world in a new light. You make me realize how much more the world has to offer than I can see for myself. One time you asked me if people would ever get bored with each other. I could never be bored with you. The world has too much to offer to become bored with life and a person compatible to share it with. I am positive we will be friends until I die. (Hopefully I go first.) When this all begun you said it was expected. That surprised me because I never thought it would happen. I know it is casual, but I am too fancy for this type of friendship. Friend feelings, are they the same as those other kind? You have made me become one of those girls I despise. The ones who giggle, and forget to think before they act or speak. I need to get a handle on these emotions, or you should step up so I can let them overflow. Why are there always multiple pathways to life? Is there no set direction. Either way our future takes us you should know how amazing you are. Your life has changed more than just my opinion on abortion. There is so much more I could say, but I'll save it for a different day.

Love, (I'm pretty sure it is a little past that friend kind)

Me

teabag heart

in a cup
soaked it up
warm and smooth
fountain of youth

spiced my life
man and wife
middle age
minimum wage

too long steeped
one marriage reaped
comes about
tea is poured out

this feeling

people say to guard your heart against falling in love

or having feelings for other people

especially the opposite sex

after saturday I was sure we were friends

I was sure we were not friends at the same time

do actions really influence feelings

did I act because I feel, something

you felt too, or nothing

and we just felt like it

this is not a poem to signify my love

these are just words to help me get rid of

this feeling
