Eh.. my writing isn't so much poetry as it is prose... and it tends to be sad/dark or so I'm told.
Untitled - JnE A shining beacon in the blackness, to help find the way. A warm and welcoming light to cut through the darkness. Midnight consumed the world, and we were all that were left.. waiting and wondering. The bright rays were promising, and we reached out for them.. only to watch them fade to grey and then to nothingness. I looked for you, but you were gone.. lost to the blackness. You let go when I was holding on...sorrow filled your spot, keeping me company. A world away, I shut my eyes.. closing everything out. Memories of you flood my mind, warming my soul. Forever and always..
Words for Angela - JnE Often times where others see beauty, we ourselves can not see it.. no matter how hard we try to.
Laying in the grass, looking at the stars.. imagining the world was different that it is.
Pain is a beautiful thing.. when shared between two people who understand it. It helps us feel in this lifetime that makes us numb.
You danced into my life.. in need of someone to help you heal. I held you when you needed it.. and offered you my all to help your wounds close. You showed me things I had closed my eyes too.. the beauty that is hidden in everyone and how to find it.
Like a whirlwind you tore through everything I had locked up.. and threw it out into the world. Let people enjoy your art.. let them rejoice in your words.. you said. I let myself open up, blossoming under your touch.. like sunshine on the dew kissed petals of a daisy.
You grasped at everything that I could teach you. You loved to paint, loved to write.. loved to express the world around you in words and color.
I wish I had known your world went dark and grey.. There's nothing left to say.. goodbye.
Ode to Puffy Dog - Me
Beautiful girl of emerald, topaz, and onyx. You shined brighter than any jewel. Bringing happiness where there was sadness.. and smiles where there were none. Like a ray of sunshine you brightened the world, and like an extingushed flame left it dark. The memories are vivid, like brand new pictures dancing across my mind. You'll always be with me.. no matter how far away you are. I know you're smiling down on me.. with that twinkle in your eye. Waiting patiently for me... and the time when we can be together again. I hated saying goodbye.. not having you around is like having winter in my soul when there should be summer. I'll miss you always, but hold on to the promise that we'll have forever someday
Untitled - JnE
Somethings are better left unspoken.. the silence can speak volumes. It's hard to find the right words sometimes.. and I stumble and fall quiet.
There are days when I just want to lay my head on your shoulder and feel your warmth. Times when I just want to watch you sleeping... afraid this is just a dream and I'll wake to find you gone.
When you stroke my cheek and look in my eyes, it stirs something deep down inside.... awakens feelings that I thought had died long ago. With you I feel safe, the world could crumble but we'd still be standing.
This feels so right.. like stars in the sky on a moonlit night... and I wonder, where do we go from here? In this crazy mixed up world, you're all that I need... all that I want. I'd wrap the sun in a bow and give it to you. I can't promise forever.. the future isn't mine to see. I'm holding on to now, and hoping for tomorrow.
Without you the world seems dark, you're the lighthouse shining my way through the blackness. A shining beacon on the horizon..
When I'm alone.. you're in my thoughts. I love how it feels..like the world is alright.. as long as I have you.
I want to run my fingers through your hair.. softly down your back.. I want to feel your lips against mine. I want to breathe you in.. and hold you forever. Let time slip away while we're lost in each other.
This feels so right.. like stars in the sky on a moonlit night... and I wonder, where do we go from here? In this crazy mixed up world, you're all that I need... all that I want. I'd wrap the sun in a bow and give it to you. I can't promise forever.. the future isn't mine to see. I'm holding on to now, and hoping for tomorrow.
Leap of faith - JnE
You came into my life, a small flickering flame on the horizon.. barely noticeable. You became a raging inferno, a force to be reckoned with. You melted the ice from my heart, after many years in a deep freeze.
Not content to be a bit player in my life, you stormed the stage demanding a leading role. Dared me to take a chance.. promised the waters weren't too deep. Leap of faith.. you promised it wasn't a long ways down.
Tempted to run, you let me go. You didn't hold on.. just let me know you'd be there when I came back. Confident that I wouldn't run far... and would come back. You promised a new start.. and wouldn' thold my past against me.
Not content to be a bit player in my life, you stormed the stage demanding a leading role. Dared me to take a chance.. promised the waters weren't too deep. Leap of faith.. you promised it wasn't a long ways down.
I love how you see in a different light.. you see radiance where I see dull. In your eyes I shine. You washed away a lifetime of dust, and polished what was once tarnished. I'm grateful for you.. the way you make me feel. In your world I'm one of a kind. I can only hope, that the words I say, make you feel the same way.
You're a lead role in the story of my life.. the reason I took a chance. The waters weren't too deep, they were soothing instead. I leapt, and you held my hand.
