BOYS

Boys can make you happy.

Boys can make you sad.

Boys are always up to something

And they can make you mad.

Boys will always do

Exactly what they want to.

And seldom, very seldom

Do you find a boy who’s true.

I hope one day I find one.

Though I may hope in vain.

But somewhere in this world,

There has to be a boy

Who’s not totally insane.

SILKEN MYSTERY

A silent silken sky lies just before my eyes.

A dark delicate reminder of how we used to be.

A vision of mighty mystery a lovely nocturnal hue.

A dismal sense of misery a frightful wish for you.

MAGICAL NIGHTS DREAM

He’s a mystical creature

With his silver horn

He moves with a grace all his own.

Faster than lightening he moves

Upon his silver hooves

He shines in the night

In the glorious moonlight

In my dreams my magical dreams

I ride on his back

As strange as it seems

I ride fast and free

The creature and me

The last of the Unicorns

Born to be free!

The Cliche

The cliche is I was half
But now I'm whole.
I don't believe that's right.

You touch my soul
And light up my nights.
You help me reach my goals;
fill my days with delights.

You make me believe
All things are possible
And I do the same for you.

I don't need you
but I want you
as a part of my life.

You don't have to be  my husband
I don't have to be your wife.

The cliche is you complete me
But I don't believe that's right.
You enhance me is a better way
to keep a relationship in sight.

You make Me more me.
You make me happy.


You make me believe
All things are possible
And I do the same for you.


I don't need you
but I want you
as a part of my life.

You don't have to be  my husband
I don't have to be your wife.


The cliche is
for movies, for poetry, for books.
In this reality , for me it doesn't work.


You don't have to be  my husband
I don't have to be your wife.


I don't need you
but I want you
as a part of my life.

One Day You'll Understand

One day you'll understand

You roll your eyes and shake your head

believing you know more instead.

One day you'll understand

Words said to you  in your youth.

One day you'll understand

How accurate this sentence.

How it was filled with truth.

One day you'll understand

You hear the echoes of that phrase

As you work more than 9-5 each day.

One day you'll understand

Reflection in the mirror reminds you

of where you originally heard this statement.

One day you'll understand

Songs on the radio remind you

of how not to be so complacent.

One day you'll understand

A sentence, said casually

predicting everyone's destiny.

One day you'll understand.

You hear it as it rolls off your tongue

Into the ears of someone young.

Writer's Collapse

I forgot the thought in my head
while washing dishes.
It fulfilled the void of
being annoyed with someone's wishes.

My hopes and desires
won't soon retire
to remember the initial plot.
The thought so good
it understood the feelings that were wrought.

But sadly I search
with no recollection
of the original verse.
A momentary lapse
of writer's collapse
A temporary creative curse.

Valentine's Haiku

More valuable

than a dozen red roses

The words, "I Love You".

Cupid's arrow flies

You appear before my eyes

My heart's filled with Love.

Emotions combined

Devotion is yours and mine

Happy Valentine's!

Wonder

World of wonder
World of delight
This strange identity
Just can't be right

Wishing upon a star
Wondering where you are
Hope it's not very far
Wishing upon a star


Beautiful dreamer
Beautiful dream
wake up to reality
it's not all it seems

Candy Coma

Heart-shaped boxes
sugar filled treats
All these delicious
sweets to eat.

Chocolates for dinner
and breakfast too
plenty of choices
so what could I do

Cookies and Candies
my taste buds you're pleasin'
February is sweet
for so many reasons.

Happy Valentine's Day

A day of Hearts and Roses
Romantic dinners and red wine
A day of guilt and misery for
many people all the time.

Singles feel as if their lives are somehow less than
 if they aren't a part of the love fest.
Couples feel they must  show their love in a grand fashion.
Or somehow their love is just not the best.

Gifts are purchased
Expectations run high
People forget
some start to cry

Why do we force ourselves to
show what we feel?
When what we should do
is show it for real.

Love is a beautiful gift
found in many ways
 in all our lives.

To find someone to love
is indeed for which
we all strive.

Dinners, gifts, relationships
Friends, lovers, family
Valentines they all can be
Don't get stuck in
superficiality


A simple "I Love You"
 is more precious and expensive
than any dozen of roses.


After all, Love is the greatest gift of all.

A Love Filled Arrow

Cupid that mischievous fellow
Will get you with his bow and arrow
He’ll hit you no matter who you are
You can try to run but you won’t get far.


Cause Cupid that mischievous little fellow
With his little bow and arrow
Has the perfect aim.
He loves to capture people’s hearts
For his match-making games.


He’ll sneak behind you very softly
Then BANG! he’s hit you
Now you’re caught.
Your heart starts going flippety-flop.


So if you’re sitting sad and lonely
You had better watch it.
Cause you might just get hit by a little fellow
Cupid will get you with his bow and arrow.

He wasn’t working on a cure for colds or asthma

But something new and special called Blood Plasma.

This new invention helped save the soldiers of World War Two

And if we’re in an accident

This doctor’s hard work might help save us too
