The End!!!!! 2009

Dressed in red,
Caps and gowns,
Walking across the stage,
receiving diplomas,
shaking the principals hand.

Cheering at the end
with tears in our eyes.

One last final celebration
before we go our separate ways,
pictures by the dozens,
with friends and family.

When the principal
announces us as
"Northwest High Schools
Senior Class of 2009.

Why me? 2009

Why is my life this way?

Why is it falling apart?

Tell me the reasons why
this is happening.

Can someone take this
pain from me?

My heart is breaking,
my soul is shattered.

2 Complete Opposites 2009

You love the coldest winds of winter.
I love the hottest rays of summer.

We both love the outdoors.
But, do different things.
you work on cars,
I relax in the sun.

My place is neat and clean,
While yours, is cluttered and messy.
You work with your hands
But, I go shopping.

You're very hyper and outgoing,
I am calm and keep to myself.

We are so similar yet, so different.

Two complete opposites
of the same whole.

Solitude 2009

School is over for the day,
walking through the door,
finally able to relax
and absorb myself in the
nice, quiet confines of my own space.

Music loud,
drowning out all other noise.
Doing homework, reading, writing,
or drawing.

Escaping the world along
with any other worries
even for a few minutes or hours,
Just to get away.

My kind of heaven.

His Ring 2009

His ring sits around my neck
solid with its imperfections,
reminding me of the reasons
why I love him.

A calm smooth silver sitting in the
darkness of the night sky.

Faced with a stone that
places you in its trance very
much like the eyes of a lone wolf.

Love 2009

Do you know how much I love you?

Will you truly ever know?

It makes me wonder about
what goes through your mind
every time you see me, kiss me,
hold me, or touch me.

I love you with every part
of my being.

I don't want you to leave.
But, I can't change what is
in your near future.

I can't help but think about our
future, me here and you so very
far away, makes me want to cry.

Now you know, how much I love you.

Why? 2009

Eyes filled with tears,
called out of class.
Teachers were crying,
telling me daddy was
coming to get me.

Mommy is gone,
Buried by the rubble,
not coming home,
in a better place now.
Sitting in daddies arms,
just crying.


In remembrance of all of the lives lost on that fateful day. Sept.11,2001

No Love 2009

I've been lonely for so long,
too long to be able to survive
without some kind of love in
my life.
        Not just friends,
        Not just family,
        But something more
        from someone that needs me and
        wants me,
        not just to use me
        and throw me away like before.
But, I guess that will
never happen for me.
Because, right now it doesn't
sound at all possible.

Poetry 2010

Sitting here,
absorbing all that he saying,
learning more about the thing
that consumes my mind
more and more each day.

Poetry,
different types,
different ways to put
it down on paper,
different ways to
express your thoughts
and innermost feelings.

Watching and hearing
the reactions of my readers.

King of Kings 2010

He died for your sins
yet, you continue to
push him away.

He allowed people to
stone him, He drug
the cross that they
nailed him to.
His precious head
bore a crown of thorns.

Which, pronounced him:
"King of Kings"
