To Dance
I want to dance with you underneath the forever light that shines as brilliantly as my soul whenever I'm near you I want to dance with you to fall in love with every moment you take my breath away so that I know what it feels like to be alive I want to dance with you to twist and turn even if it rains even if the wind tries to carry us away from morning to noon to night just as long as your heart's beat guides our rhythm I want to dance with you underneath the stars and the moon as heaven stretches across the forever night to dance with you until our image is of one soul |

Truthfully
The truth has been blinded by bright lights and white lies so all that's left is dark spaces and dark corners dark skies and dark moments falling from eyes Five people died pause for effect did you get that five people died I bleed red white and blue from a wound that will never heal because the latest cause of an uncivil war is an election they're trying to steal the "peaceful" anger you see now is why some kneel because the pain of unfairness believed whether or not real is the most powerful thing someone can feel so imagine if you will that five people died pause to reflect did you get that five people died We could be at that crossroad of diversity where we stand idly waiting pondering the next step for democracy does it work for whom does it work questions never before that had to be asked or answered because there was the underlying positivity that we as a nation would always be the bastion of a proven philosophy that everyone through the trials and tribulations of history were the beneficiary of a constitution that states all men were created equally but five people died pause to acknowledge their memory they died at a time that didn't have to be because truth should always matter |

Every Single Day
Today somehow feels like everyday which seems to feel like every other day Not sure if I was expecting something different maybe sunshine or even rain just something different to ease the same I woke up to winter then summer arrived and in between the two was spring and fall and another moment without a surprise It's not that I'm bored but well ok maybe I am because the days come and go and there's nothing to do but live another today |

What It Feels Like
Alone in my thoughts arguing with the fire's temptation as curiosity slowly numbs my ability to discern Flames rising like emotions should I shouldn't I I know I shouldn't because I'll burn But the want the desire for its escape has grasped my soul like an addictive yearn So I close my eyes the warmth is so inviting that I stop doubting the reality that it could be more than just this one turn I had to the rage persuaded my soul like the devil's invitation to hell and now I know there is no return And I pray I pray to find a way to forgive myself for having to live this lesson I've learned |

Need to talk? I am here friend Thanks for the offer but I'm fine. It's just a poem and not a reflection of my personal well being. |

Suffering Alive
Life for me seems to be never ending waves of complications like an ocean that refuses to flow easily It feels as if I'm drowning while drifting without anything of normalcy to keep me afloat I want to die now right now because it would be easier than waiting for tomorrow's moment to take me from me once again I imagine the darkness each time time's hands pull me under and I feel whole because it is only then when I'm suffering alive that death feels closer |

Once again...

Walk with me on the beach, Dance with me in the rain, Say that you want me, Come let's fall in love again.. Look deep into my eyes, See your picture in my heart's frame, Say that you need me, Come let's fall in love again.. Whether its days, weeks or months, My feelings will remain the same, you have nothing to lose, nothing to fear, So come lets fall in love again, Maybe its time now, To forget the past, To let go of pain, Maybe its meant to be, So come lets fall in love again ps this is the very first poem I wrote and posted on this forum :-) And it is beautiful |

Good Enough
Blurred lines unable to escape my mind thoughts run to and fro I wish I were able to let go screams internal as I author my journal poetry that's what the words are called but to me they're the life I've mauled each sentence feels as if I've lived a life's sentence yet I'm still here crying living in fear of being the very person I never wanted to be I am forever me someone who will never be good enough |

These words are a reflection of my daughter's situation. Wish I could heal her pain but in the end that's how she will grow.

Now
is the greatest distance you must travel to reach tomorrow Now is the greatest obstacle you must overcome to be who want to be tomorrow Now is not the time to wonder why you must challenge yourself to find yourself tomorrow Now is the moment you must fight now is the time you must seek Now and only now will you have a moment to both look towards the past to learn and to tomorrow to see what now will allow you to be |

Holding the Wind
It is often said that life is but the air that comes and goes with the passage of time If this is true then I'll hold my breath so that maybe I'll be able to hold onto forever I'll fill my lungs with dreams thought too heavy carry and possibilities so light they could fly away I'll hold the wind so tightly because I know that all we have is the dare to soar while being grounded by our imagination |

Within the Broken Heart
The vast expanse of darkness feeds my soul devouring dreams like midnight to light I am quiet in this hopelessness as searching is futile for there is nothing but the vast expanse of loneliness called my soul's shelter |

Goodbye
I close my eyes to hold back the tears I know I will cry when it is time for us to say . . . I can't say the word and honestly I never want to try because we've not had enough time together to end beautiful with the word . . . And yes this is wrong we are living in a love that is a lie so I know home is a different shade of who we are now me with her you with him so we have to say . . . I wish this was different that these stolen moments where lasting moments for you and I because my heart is so heavy simply thinking about you saying even whispering you must go though I know it is time for us to say . . . |

US
We cannot undo time so what's here now between us is us For better or worse imperfect and afraid is us We've all heard the whispers of possibilities and yet we neglect to have the uncomfortable conversation about us We cannot undo time we cannot change or rewrite history we cannot forgive even if there was an apology because it wasn't you who created us We cannot undo time but we can change and rewrite tomorrow we can be the ones who define us |

Nice poem . That last line “I guess that’s why they call it the blues” is the title to an Elton John song. You know I didn't think about that until you mentioned it. |

"Out of Control"

"Out of Control" What is going on, the world is spinning. And in the end, no one will be winning. I never thought within my lifetime. I would ever see, what I'm seeing in my prime. People have taken to the street protesting with no clue? Destroying things, painting them, and taking down the statues. This is not what peace is about, falling into a place of no return. When will they ever understand and learn? We need to stop fighting and find a way we all can live. Within the same place, where we all can survive. Just because we don't think alike, and have the same view. Does not mean. We cannot have a world that is true. One that we all can live within and get along. It does not mean that the other person is wrong. Just that not all people will think the same way. My wish is one day we all can get along one day.. K.L.M. 7/11/2020 One day it will happen |
