What I want ...

You know, I want a man who is passionate, not agressive... someone who is really into me and drinks me in.... someone who touches my face when we kiss and just smothers me sometimes...

Consistency

Consistency comes from trying, pulling strength believed true.

Knowing that trying will lead to success, big or small.

Life is a journey. You may go forward or backward, you will never stand still.

A discovery may be the slightest thing. It may be something minute. It may even be seen in the ordinary or someone you've always known.

Eyes, heart and mind are deceived so often by misconception.

Let go and live, journey to a new place. See through new eyes. View the world as a growing place, and experience goodness in all things.

Growing

Little girl lost, grown woman found.

Left in a world with endless possibilities.

Little did she know, life at times would be so cruel, choices smearing scars across her heart.

Slowly tears begin to heal...

When I look back and realize that only one life is given, I am able to sort through the pieces and hold close those I treasure most.

Your life is a puzzle, you can either put it together or take it apart....

Putting it together is an act of faith, allowing others to fill it with love.

Taking it apart is allowing parts of yourself to be given. The sharing of your innermost self, with those whom will never treasure you...

I wonder...

****This poem was written after the breakup of a 3 yr relationship...

Where you are, what you are thinking,
Do you miss me, was I worth it?
Is your life better because of me?
Will you get married, will you have children?

So many questions haunt me, unanswered, held in your grasp.

Truths that may never be revealed.

Was it a dream or reality?

Bubbles burst one by one into a puddle of tears, slowly streaming into my hands.

My body aches, longs for your touch, which will never again occur.

My mind searches towards the depths, how far does it go?

Memories of times with completeness, solitude and peace.

Looking at a future which beheld love, hope, strength, a future which showed promist of commitment, until death do we part.

Now a wonder appears, where will I go, what will I do?

What is the path I must choose?

I must choose the path to walk alone until I myself am complete, and completely free to be one with another.

Words

Intentions, promises
Fall short without actions

Genuine words
Come from a true heart,
One giving without the intention of every receiving.

Peace, serenity
Come from within, not from another.

Come
To a place where you can be side by side without losing yourself.

Stay
Yourself, do not change, conform to please.

Alone
Is not negative, it is a place to discover one's self.

Time
Is limited, fill it with boundless joy.

Be
Yourself and you will find another self who loves you.
