Dancing on the Inside

Joy
I'm dancing on the inside
To be loved
Is the greatest gift of all

Emotions (untitled)

Emotions.
I swim through a sea of emotions.
Tossed and turned.
No moorings.

Calm.
In me.
I float on the gentle waves.

Feelings strong (untitled)

Feelings strong
Now muted.
A roaring stream
Now a quiet river.

Scared (untitled)

Scared
Temptation
Can I resist?
Do I want to?
How do I separate your call, Lord,
From Satan's illusion?

Deception (untitled)

Deception.
Beautiful lies.

I dared to hope.

... deceived.

The lies shatter.
I'm left alone.

a father figure (untitled)

a father figure
lost little girl cuddles in the arms of her daddy
absorbing his love

To America

America,
Land full of nature.
Forests
Deserts
Mountains
Beaches.
Beauty anywhere you look.
America, I love you.

a beautiful gift (untitled)

a beautiful gift
someone to trust
I trusted him when I could not trust myself
friend
someone to lean on
someone to believe in me
someone to love me
a shoulder to cry on

I like to think that man

I like
To think that man
Is really good inside,
For if he weren't the why would we
Be here?

Tangled Vines

tangled vines
intertwining
intermeshing
weaving in and out of each other

where does one stop
and the other begin?

If men (untitled)

If men
Don't want to fight,
Then why do we build weapons?
And if indeed they want to fight,
Why?

I like to hear the sounds (untitled)

I like
To hear the sounds
Of nature in the Spring.
It makes me feel peaceful and
At home.

The Song of a Little Bird

Sing little bird sing,
It makes the world seem better.
Sing your little song
And the world will sing along,
And our troubles go away.

When the birds fly north (untitled)

When the birds fly north
Their sweet, sweet sounds fill the earth
And brighten the world.

Dogwoods and redbuds (untitled)

Dogwoods and redbuds
Sprout flowers white and purple
And beautify earth.

No words (untitled)

No words.
I have no words.
How can I capture in a poem
My love for you?

Leave fall from the trees (untitled)

Leaves fall from the trees
Landing softly on the ground;
Birds are flying south
To find a warm place to live;
Snow is awaited by all.

The sun shines by day (untitled)

The sun shines by day
And the stars shine down at night;
We watch from below.

Lions in the grass (untitled)

Lions in the grass,
A tigress in the jungle,
A man to hunt them.
