Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Poems for children: 25 of 213

Every Reason I Need. For Erin. A child of Aquarius, near millennium's dawn. A wise and gentle soul. There's no delight in each angel's song, As is mine to watch you grow. As you reach your twelfth summer, count up each bright sun, And add every ray, every beam. And my love for you would eclipse every one, Knowing you is the ...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Sunshine: 7 of 44

It's Alright. Heaven's just a heartbeats breath away, as darkness swallows every ray of glory. I take it in my stride now every day, while writing chapters in this perfect story. Time passes by, I chew my mind, then you throw your arms around me. So bring the sunshine, and light it your own way, and I'll find the words to sa...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: True love: 13 of 70

My morning star. What in the world could make you start again, with pieces torn apart again, you think you'll find a way? All that you carried broke your back in two, didn't seem like you'd even make it through. It's not for me to say, but look at you today, your living all this while, just like an angel child. And you make ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Advice for teens: 8 of 25

Angel Child. Thirteen steps upon your path, which weaves and winds before you. Unseen days to live and love, with sunshine waiting for you. Each new moment holds a truth, a softly whispered story. A message carried on a breeze, a wish for golden glory. Laugh a lot. See the good. Raise a smile. Worry not; this world's yours, ...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Self reflection: 9 of 25

Sunday morning solo. Another Sunday morning solo, another headache pounds the wall, another dream you said it's over, blue devils have come to call. The love you took, the love you made, and the sunrise. Sometimes alone, but you moved within me. And high above in a starlit eden, you promised you'd break my fall. In my life, ...

For Tracy. If all the stars were to fall in one magnificent apparition, or the sun should supernova in tribute to Love's ambition. Would my heart discover a more fantastic beat to sing? Should demons crawl within and with malice plague the night, break free the shackles that bind you and entrust me to be your light. For a sp...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Losing love: 42 of 91

You make it easy. You make it easy.. You make it easy.. You make it easy.. You make it easy.. Silence is here, writing down, all the words that spin around. Chasing a name, or a place, yet another chance to waste. Changing the past, one to ask, tell me what are you to me? We're filling our minds, with designs, still we wake ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Turning forty: 28 of 56

These honored ages marking time, occasions passing down the wine. Such milestones conjure contemplation, musing through each generation. Those lives which touch and dance with mine, and shape the ways I tune my mind. Slight fleeting moments, merging souls. Countless actors play their roles. The friends we lose, the friends w...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Christmas: 17 of 33

Dear Virginia. (For Erin) Dear Virginia, are you watching out tonight? Dear Virginia, have your dreams yet taken flight? Dear Virginia, did your father let you know? Dear Virginia, don't be in such a rush to grow. It's all you know. Dear Virginia, can you see it in the stars? Dear Virginia, the whisper of the passing cars, D...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Drugs: 11 of 20

Lost in you. Let's drink to the good times, and throw a mind to the last time, when all you needed was a little space. All you needed was to find the page. You've been around, you've been upside down, and with your head in the clouds you simply went to ground. To see you there in the candlelight, liberty caps the mind tonigh...
