I was inspired to create this page by my best friends in the whole wide world web. Whenever they are not around I find myself going to their pages and just thinking of who they really are. I have cherished the many hours of pleasurable reading. I dedicate this page to them. I hope that anyone who stumbles across this page will find themselves immersed in the
poems written by my friends and I. Enjoy and God Bless.

All My Smiles
My HEART it GROWS
for you today
that is just my STYLE.
My LOVE it SHOWS
in every way
maybe you're WORTH while.
My MIND it KNOWS
but still I stay
to go the EXTRA mile.
My finger SLOWs
like curing clay
when I TRY to dial.
My SADNESS GROWS
while you betray
without your DENIAL .
My LIFE it BLOWS
you walk away
taking ALL my smiles.

If I Could Tell You
If I were to tell you
I could give you the moon
And all the stars above
Let you hold in your hand
Even if for just one moment
All the beauty of a summer's night
Would that change the way you see me
Would I have a chance
If it was up to me
You'd possess the world
Never be let down again
Or have to go through heartache
If those things would make you mine
I'll spend the rest of my life
Trying to bring the moon
And the stars from the heavens
Within your grasp
But to me
You will always
Be more beautiful
Than anything in the summer's night

Old Blues Tune
There it was the month of June
My salary was plenty
I had to be at work by noon
So I hopped into my Bentley
I drove down to the local bar
And walked into the smoke filled room
I picked up my old folk guitar
And started to play an old blues tune
But as I started playing
Time made my mind forget
That all the songs I had been playing
Were never really set
I was thinking about those yesterdays
Though darkly through the haze
I was thinking about those yesterdays
We went our separate ways
Where'd you go and who'd you see
Do you know just where you'll be
Now that it's today . . . .
Well anyway I'm still here
And it's still the month of June
Only it's later the next year
And I still haven't set an old blues tune
No longer do I drive my Bentley
Nor do I work at the local bar
In my pocket is my last twenty
And on my back hangs my guitar

Faceless Names
we're shadows in the crowd
no face
we shall be called by
no name
we are just writers
no fame
with spoken words
we tame
we indulge in many
a game
amongst our peers
no place
resolving issues
we blame
questions we ask
seem vain
will our friends
be sane
will they treat us all
the same
or will they just
refrain
our open hearts
feel pain
the tears that fall
will stain
our reaching arms
are strained
our learning minds
no shame
so however you may try
to change
and whatever is now
your name
you will forever have
your grace
and your friend i will
remain

Chains of Ice; Sword of Fire
It's bitter cold where I choose to reside
Hearts freezing over every minute
Spirits breaking from the night's cold air
Souls trying to be revived with a non-existing warmth
Unable to move about with all my muscles frozen
It's a mystery as to how I got here
But here I am
Prisoner of the cold
Stuck in chains of ice
I am the only resident in my frozen world
Never thought I'd live to see the day
When another soul could withstand the cold
But an innocent sweet child who seems not to notice
Immune to the element which I am held prisoner
Has found a way in
Something in the air seems different
It's been so long
A sense of warmth fills my world
Starting to thaw my heart
And mend the broken spirit
My soul being revived
But I'm still stuck in chains of ice
I give the child a confused look
She pulls from under her arm
A sword of fire
Cuts through the iced over chains
Free after all these years
I run to her and we embrace
Once again we become but one

The Fool So Right For You
Times have to change
feeling so insane
looking for the fool
you think is right for you.
Since it is later in time
and you still can't find
the fool
that is just right for you
change your silly childish ways
and get rid of that wandering daze
thinking about the fool
who's so right for you.
Lately you've been feeling down
with your eyes fixed on the ground
let yourself rest and take a sigh
time heals all as it slips by
chasing the fool
you know is right for you.
love is always found so cheap
so why do you still weep
and tell me why do you keep
losing all your hard earned sleep
over the fool
who's just right for you.
Yes, time has surely changed
you're no longer feeling insane
but you're still looking for
the foolish fool
you think's so right for you.

Rainbow Friends
Strangers talking for the first time
finding out where each other live
most times, we forget what we've shared
but the more we talk, the more we give.
Now, we call each other friend
even though we are so very far apart
I can hear the laughter in your smile
making each other happy from the start.
On days when you find you're down
I want to hug your blues away
to bring the sun into your darkness
to calm your storms that are so grey.
It's said that laughter is the best medicine
when you're around, that seems to be true
you turn my fallen tears into rainbows
such a wonderful friend, I've found in you.
Friends without faces, only the words we see
we share so much of each other on line
noticing when they are not around, we miss em'
no greater friend, with caring hearts, you'll find.

From Within
No matter where it is you go
I'll be there by your side
any one you meet you'll know
I'll be the one inside.
Anywhere you find yourself
wherever you may be
I'll be there with you always
as far as your mind can see.
When you need someone to sneer at
or just need someone to talk to
you'll find your closest friend in me
I'll be there just for you.
When you feel you've been rejected
I'll be inside your head
don't tell me all the stories
I heard everything they said.
When you're looking to be held
or just looking for a smile
no need to keep on searching
I've been here all the while.
When you need someone to pick you up
and you've done all that you can
look to the one that you call friend
and you will see my open hand.
I've listened to your every thought
and pursued your every whim
I am the one who knows you
and guides you from within.

Faith
On the wings of faith we fly
Journeying through life
Into the valleys and over the summits we soar
Not being guided by our own will
But via the Heavenly lights
For living in Faith is following that which we know
But cannot always see
The road may be steep and the journey long
No promises of an easy ride
Or even a joyous one
The only promise is of eternal life and an inner peace
So guide your path by heavenly lights
Make your journey flying high on the wings of faith.

Keep In Mind
My inspiration had to go
and now today I just don't know
how I'd be or what I'd do
if or when you leave me to.

A Poem by Poetress Lisa
As I sit here basking in a full moon's beauty,
wondering, what do you see?
Can you see me here, watching you?
Writing and watching Coyotes pass through my yard,
