I've loved writing poetry for a long time. Here are some samples of my work!
"Walls", the first one, I wrote when I was 16. Please note that my poems have
been copyrighted as some of them are published works. Enjoy!

WALLS

These walls I live behind
Are a creation of society.
They are not walls of wood or stone,
But walls just the same.
They keep me safe and warm;
Guarding me from the dangers around.
While outside my walls the demons lurk,
Purring like kittens,
Lulling me into a sense of complacency,
Until, ever so slowly, the walls come down.
Then they attack;
Like crazed tigers;
Tearing, shredding, destroying my emotions and my mind.
Finally, the walls are restored
And once again I am safe and warm.
And alone!

FEAR

She sits alone in the cold dark hut,
Filled with a silence born of fear.
While outside the door the cannons sound
And the young girl cries but a single tear.

TO MY LOVE

I wake in the early morning light,
And touch the softness of your face.
I carress it gently, lovingly.
You look into my eyes and my heart begins to race,
I've waited for this love so long.
Your love is all I will ever need.
My heart pounds with a passion so strong,
Longing to be by your side forever more.
I hear the whispers and I smile,
Knowing that they will never understand.
I pull you closer and hold you for awhile,
As I whisper the words I love you.
You look at me and say me to.
A smile creeps across my face,
Because I know for the first time ever it's true.
I search for the words to express my soul;
It is an empty quest, for the words have not been created.
How can one find the words to express,
A passion so strong it can never be satiated.

ONCE AGAIN

Once again I feel the darkness closing in;
Shrouding me in doubt and fear.
An emptiness grows within;
Beyond emotion, not even a tear.

A bitter lost soul;
A heart that can nolonger bleed.
No future, no goal;
A life I nolonger need.

PASSIONS PAIN

The center of my universe;
The pain which devours my heart!
A distance I can’t traverse.
Always together forever apart.

So close I can reach out and touch her;
Yet so distant I never truly will.
Two hearts torn asunder.
A pain strong enough to kill!

The emptiness surrounds me;
The passion slowly dies.
I wonder is it me?
I search for the answer in her eyes.

My thoughts turn to others;
My heart lingers behind.
A desire to be lovers;
A curse that plagues my mind!

THE FACE OF LOVE

I lie and gaze upon your face,
In the stillness of the night.
A mere silhouette I trace,
As I await the dawning of the light.

With mornings first splendor I gaze once more,
Upon the beauty that is my wife.
I think, nay I am sure,
You are much more than this, you are my life.

I BELIEVE

What is beauty?

Some say beauty is like a rose;
Perfect in it's conformation,
And with a smell so sweet,
It is easy to overlook the thorns that tear at the flesh.

I believe that beauty is like a wild flower;
Unique in it's shape and style;
With a smell of nature,
Carried on the wind.

Some say beauty is the perfect figure;
Blonde hair and blue eyes,
And a voice so sweet,
It is easy to overlook the ugliness within.

I believe that beauty is the essence of the heart;
A smile so warm that it brightens the darkest day,
And eyes so honest and true,
It's easy to see the love that lies within.

So tomorrow when you rise with the sun,
And walk to the mirror to gaze upon yourself;
See not the rose you wish to be,
But the wild flower, you've always been.
