Without You

MIMI
Without you
The seeds root
The flowers bloom
The children play
The stars gleam
The poets dream
The eagles fly
Without you
The earth turns
The sun burns
But I die
Without you

And that song just goes on and on for ever, so we'll leave it at that. Anyway. Got into a thoughtful mood last night around midnight and wrote some poems, which I'd like to share along with a few others I wrote a while back, (BTW - it's it amazing? I'm on 2 whole days in a row! not weeks, days!)

A New Kind of Love
When I see your eyes
They sparkle like stars
And when I see your mouth
You face shines like the moon
As you walk through the field
I am watching you
Then it starts to rain
And I am sad for you
I want to bring you an umbrella
But then you'd know I was watching
So I wait for you to pass
And suddenly you are dancing
Spinning away the raindrops
Becoming a beautiful fountain
Flashing in the spray
I cannot hold back any longer
So I run to dance with you
I run between the raindrops
And then blend in with the falling
When the rain stops
The sun comes out
And finally you notice me
Because we are alone
Our gazes meet and I know
We are the same
I feel your soul
Never did I know such a connection existed
As the one I feel with you now
So please just love me
Together we can fight any opposition
In this hateful world.

Real World
Finally things
Are going your way
So maybe you don't
Have to be scared
Anymore.
Things are going so well
It's as though
You left the real world
Behind. And left
Me behind in it.

For Forgiving
It has taken me
All this time to realize
That we were never
Meant to be
But I still wish
I hadn't given up
Yes I know now that I
Gave up
I am lucky just to
Have you
As a friend
I hope he knows
How lucky he is
Better than I did.

Storms Ahead
I caught you like
A wispy cloud
So sweet and innocent
Honest and caring
What we had was beautiful

But you can't hold clouds for long.

For Mandy
This
A poem
For one of the
Strongest people
I know
Who is caring
Original
Sensitive
Enthusiastic
Encouraging
Understanding
Pure
And for all this
A beautiful person
Who I love.

For Alonzo
After all
That I've done
The only thing
I can do now
Is say I'm sorry
And thank you
Because I want you
To be happy
That's the least
You deserve
For all that you've done
For me.
--11.14.04

For Chi Chi
There was a time
You never knew about
Whe I was just glad
To have you there
I am still glad
You're here now because
I don't know what I'd do
Without you.

For Shannon
I only want to asky
Why you don't care
That we lost such a bond
How best friends
Could become strangers
Part of me will always
Be empry because
You meant - mean
So much to me
Through all the moments
We shared
And thoughts we never spoke
But always knew
Were there
I was told friends are forever
I guess forever
Wasn't long enough.
--11.14.04

For Molly
What can I say
That hasn't been said
Before?
I am tired of repeating myself
And being unappreciated
You want to make this work
Then work
Is what you'll
Have to do.

LinZ Says
LinZ says people
Are like trains
Picking up friends
Like passengers
And dropping others
Off.
Some are lazy
And didn't want to go far
So they only ride
For one stop
But some people
Stay on forever
Because they think it's fun
To ride the train.
If that train ever
Goes off course,
The passengers
May die too.

And with that, I leave you to mull over your thoughts (and mine) and then post comments. Please! More coming soon, my mind is still buzzing. Love to all cause love is good.
