Look at my soul, what do you see?
A diverse human spirit hiding in me.
Protective barriers and walls I build.
Whilst living behind them, a life unfulfilled.

I love the flowers that bloom in spring,
for all the joy and love they bring.
I love the sun that warms the sky
How do you measure success in this life?
And who should decide if you fail?
Do life's sweet temptations guide you along?
Or in the end does your conscience prevail?
It’s the little things
isn’t it
that mean more than anything
and the simple pleasures
My words are like my heart beat.
They tell the world that I'm alive.
They recite the tale of who I am
And of all I have survived.
Along this huge labyrinth
That we call life,
You will face great trials,
Adversity, and strife.
We can all live and just be
Who we are meant to be in life.
Allowing love to set us free,
Rather than giving into strife.
Your springtime has gone.
Your summers have passed.
Autumn's now waving goodbye.
He danced as a buck,
sang as an elder and
beat a drum as long as he was able.
If I could create a picture book of
memories from the past,
every chapter a masterpiece
of unforgettable moments rehashed.
Ever gotten there?
To that place where
You have nothing to prove
and can just be.
"I"n this moment, my heart is open.
"N"ever before have I felt such powerful emotion.
It is "N"ow that I realize the true meaning of living.
It is for being loved, loving, "A"nd also forgiving.
I'd be happy, only if...
Our often deceptive belief -
If I were a superstar,
You are the only one
who can save you
no one else can
do it for you
I can't prevent attitudes
from knocking upon my door,
but I decide which to let in
and which ones to ignore.
I don't mind accolades
freely passed on my way,
I'll take encouragement
gladly, any given day.
I really relate to this poem and many of your other poems. I should love to know more about you and what started you on the path to becoming a poet. Perhaps you could fill in your bio on...
This is what I like reading. I love it! It reads so calm and peaceful, so soft and warm. You did an excellent job.
I've never wished for fortunes,
I've always prayed for better things.
I'm happy and contented,
Never wanting to live like a king.
It’s the simple things
that bring me joy
it’s being with you
that fills my soul
