"Poetry is what gets lost in translation" -Robert Frost

Life has been pretty good lately. I have been pretty busy with school work since finals are this week. I get to go home for the summer on Friday!!! I am so excited!!! I am getting tired of this place and school...part of me just wants to leave and never come back...but I'm sure a couple weeks at home will cure that longing...So I thought I would put a couple of my poems on today and maybe a couple of pics...





LOVELINESS(10-27-06)
Delicate
A young heart breaks
Tender
With every tear and ache
Broken
Without a prayer
Healing
Breathes in the air
Concern
Always be true
Forgiveness
From who
Faith
Letting go
Courage
Just to know
Honesty
Within a heart
Beauty
From the start
Treasure
In every day
Dancing
Cares go away

BECAUSE OF HIM(12-25-07)
On a winter’s night
Restless eyes awake
Every day a fight
She almost breaks
When she understands
The Father’s here
He’s holding her hands
There’s no need for fear
He always will stand
Wiping her tears
With His loving hands
She finds His cheer
She wants to die
She’s bound to live
She’s going goodbye
Her tears maker her live
She tastes the bitterness
Alive and free
Because of His caress
She can be

ALL OF WHO I AM(11-16-08)
My heart is beating
I feel nervous
I feel your stare
Look up
No one there
Someone is watching
Someone sees my shame
I try to brush it off
I try not to notice
I hear your scoff
What am I doing
Does anyone see
No one can care
No one can tell
All alone, no one to share with
My burden lingers
I am trapped in blame
I am trapped in guilt
You say you’ll forgive
You say you can heal
I want to be forgiven
To not be ashamed
To not be afraid
Of all of me
No one sees
You reach out
I push away
I push away
Further to not hear
All the words you say
I know you’re true
I’ve been here before
I’ve been in this place
All I want to do
Is see your face
Take me
All of me
All of who I am
Me in YOU
YOU I AM
