Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Broken heart: 1 of 235

~Broken Heart Again~ I thought that love would wait for me, when you went your separate way~ I knew your heart would stay with me, while you searched for a new day~ I saved the love I had for you, when you left me far behind~ I hoped my heart would heal from you, although you stayed on my mind~ I know that love won't be with...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Adoption: 1 of 32

~I'M WHO I AM BECAUSE OF YOU~ By another I was given life, But then lovingly accepted by you~ You both chose to guide me, and see that my dreams would come true~ Your love for me began so blindly, while I was yet in my Mother's womb~ You already had three children, But, for me, you still found room~ The first moment that you...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Angels: 11 of 242

~Angels in Heaven~ Asleep in the night she began to dream, and a knock came at her door~ There you stood, looking in, just as so many times before~ Her disbelief entangled her, as she stared into your face~ Just as though you'd never left, she reached out, and you embraced~ With you were two others, your journey was not alon...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Confused by love: 15 of 254

Misplaced Love Where am I to place this love- if it was not meant for you? Where am I to place my heart- while I wonder what to do? When am I to trust this hope- if your love is not my fate? When am I to trust this faith- if "someday" seems to be too late? How am I to hide this hurt- so I'm free from all the pain? How am I t...

The Sheets If you're one who has had the opportunity to explore the dating scene, you have experienced, what I call, the relationship association phenomenon. It seems that there is always something, that one thing that will occasionally remind you of a person you once loved, dated and/or did. Most associations are typical, s...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Adult friendships: 4 of 27

We both come from different places, someday we may go separate ways- But the present molds the future, so look through the clouds of gray- The paths that brought you to today, I may not completely understand- But the forces that darken your days, can be erased by your will and command- Destiny has crossed our lives, and may ...

~Already There~ Lower your shield and feel my warmth~ Close your eyes and take a deep breath of me~ Open your soul and see I'm already there~

~Comfortably Conflicted~ I'm mad, I'm amused I'm clear, I'm confused I'm fine, I'm abused You're here, you're away You're good, you're betrayed You're done, you're okay We're close, we're afar We're tight, we're ajar We're lost, we're on par Let's quit, let's begin Let's stop, Let's pretend Let's love, Let's just end I'm sur...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Inner struggles: 86 of 498

~Inner Strength~ My inner strength is real and powerful It is the only thing that has enabled me to have faith, when a huge part of me saw nothing to believe in~ It is the only thing that has allowed me to love, when a huge part of me wanted so much just to hate~ It is the only thing that has given me laughter, when a huge p...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The passing of loved ones: 9 of 35

How many parents have the privilege in life of honoring one of their own children as one of their personal heroes? I don't know the answer, but I am inclined to believe it is a relative few. I happen to be one of them, thus the basis for this story. From one of my most painful moments in time, emerged my child, my son, my he...
