My Original Poetry

Loving Arms

I feel as if a spell has been cast upon me
You spoke to me and my disbelief of love was destroyed
My memories full of sorrow were replaced by a lifetime filled with joy
We two are soulmates who found true love in each other
The pleasure of this kiss and that hug is immeasurable
You always take my breath away and make my heart skip a beat
I feel your presence and my knees go weak
The magic is forever stowed away in my heart
I will love you until forever and a day
This is what dreams are made of my love

Lost Love

The sun rose above the mountain tops
Fiery orange and blazing in all it's glory
Like two lovers waking in the morn hours
Sharing a wonderful blaze of lust
The agony was there
Soft and pale and real
Tearing at her heart and she said I love you
But she was alone
Forsaken by the rest
By feelings of love and contentment
Sharing and soaring high above the rest
He had shamed her
Given her nothing
But fear and sorrow
The pain of losing him
Of never gaining him
Of being without her one true love

My Father

It was him alone that shattered me
Coming into this world was scary enough
But being rejected is one of the worst feelings
Yes, my family and friends love me
They are wonderful and they are my saviors
Still, why doesn't he want me?
He hurts me through and through
Cards and money, even occassionally, don't replace
Love from him is what I seek
Now, even though I don't want to, I hate him
I hate him for what he has done to me
I hate him for what he has put me through
My very own flesh and blood
How and why is what I want to know
Pent up rage boils inside of me
I love him for helping to make me
Yet, I still hate him with a passion
