3 Wishes

3 dandelions
  Alone in a field
    3 wishes
      Waiting to be wished
        3 desires waiting to be granted

1 wish
  Peace inside and out.
    No more rushing hearts or flushing faces
      To be calm

2 wish
  Strength to beat
    Destroy the demons
     That whisper cruel thoughts

3 wish
  Love and be loved
    For it to come easy
      And to be unsought


                    3 dandelions
                   Alone in a field
                3 wishes
              Waiting to be wished
           3 desires waiting to be granted

***********************************************************************************

The format of this piece is unusual even for me. I was talking to a friend and he mentioned how he saw 3 dandelions in the middle of an open field. Well, I told him I was going to write a poem about it so I did. I like how unusual this one is. Enjoy:) 

Cheshire Cat Moon

You.
 
  You are doing this to me.

You got me giggling,
                 giddy,
                    falling again.

You got me with a smile like the Cheshire Cat moon.

          I haven't been like this lately...

But you got me seeing a light
     at the end of this dark tunnel



I missed being this happy
                    This free of tears
                               This... Smiley

You got me with a smile like the Cheshire Cat moon

*********************************************************************************

The other night, I was driving home from work. The moon reminded me of someone smiling really big and then the Cheshire Cat came to mind. So I decided to write  love poem based off of this. Enjoy:)

For Whom The Bell Tolls

For whom the bell tolls...

I know not.

A deceased loved one...
  A happy bride...
    A call to mass...

I hear the bell calling.

As if it were calling me and me alone.

Without thought
        Without control

   I follow

For whom the bell tolls...
 

                   For whom the bell...
                 
                                        For whom the...
               

                                                          For whom...



For...

********************************************************************************

One day, I had a copy of Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" sitting on my desk. I found the title intriguing. This idea popped into my head of a bell calling a person to their grave. Kind of grim, I know. But I was excited because it was really different from other pieces I had written. Enjoy:)

Disguised By Nature's Beauty

The trees hide us.
    The birds in the sky disguise our voices.
We are in a moment of pure beauty.
    This moment doesn't seem real.

It's too perfect to be real.
     Emotions are running wild.
We are letting them.
     There is no one else around us.
No one but nature to see.

I feel your heart beating.
     I feel your chest move with each steady breath.
You feel me shiver.
    You pull me closer.

Our lips come together for a moment.
     Those tender lips I have wanted to touch.
I feel my heart skip a beat.
     Your heart does too. I can feel it.

This moment seems so unreal... But it is real.  

Disguised by Nature's Beauty...

We are invisible to everyone but each other...

What a beautiful moment.

This poem is just a simple, nature-inspired love poem. Enjoy:)

Sneaker Wave

Floating in the waters
  Letting the current wash away
All my thoughts and worries
  That collected through the day
My mind becomes free
   And my heart becomes clear
I open my eyes and see

The current carries my new companions
  Friends, both old and new
Each in their own wave of thoughts and emotions
  But there I am
I mix my energy with all of them

        The Sneaker Wave

*******************************************************************************

This is a couple years old but I still like it! Enjoy:)

Sweet Eyes

Every time I get lost
   In those sweet eyes...

I try not, I just can't help myself.
They give me butterflies.

The words whispered...
   Words not spoken with so much honesty before

I can't help but wonder what you see...
Because you see me differently then I do

Your sweet eyes see a whole person
   Not a broken one...
They see a beautiful girl
   Who can't see it in herself...

Why you want to look at me like that? I don't know.

But please... Don't stop.

*********************************************************************************

Here is another! This is one I just think is cute. Enjoy:)

Trapped

Eyes open...

Watching out, not wanting to fall into a trap.
    But here I sit.
                Trapped.
No way out...
Or should I say no safe way out.
No way without pain
   Without hurt
      Without cuts
         Without bruises
    Trapped.

But there are some traps you'd rather not escape.
And that is the trap I am in.

I'm trapped.

I don't need help out.

********************************************************************************

So this is one I found interesting. The concept is that every once in awhile being trapped isn't a bad thing because it can help you get out of other things in the future. Enjoy:)

Under The Influence

Intoxicating...

   That's all she is.
   You lose control
              And she'll take it.

She'll take everything from you.
    She doesn't care about you losing your innocence.

When you are under the influence,

    All you can think about is the addictiveness of her ruby lips
                                            The pleasure felt from her curves
                                                 The drunken words she whispers into you ear


While this may seem enjoyable...

Remember, my dear,


      Being this drunk is not a good thing.

***********************************************************************************

One day I overheard a conversation about people getting drunk. This is what I thought of after thinking about that conversation. Enjoy:)

Lies of Truth

Dear You,

   I'm you. Your me. I'm that voice that is always with you. I'm that voice that will always be with you. You want to get rid of me but you never will. I'm with you forever. Silencing me is impossible. I'm that devil inside of you. The one that will always bring you down, bring you doubt, bring you lower. I love my work. It's horrible, but wonderful. Don't try to argue with me. You know I speak truth. I'll lie to you forever. You know it's true though. 

You are ugly. 

You have no one. 

You will never be accepted. 

You will never be happy.

The one you care about... They'd be crazy to look at you. 

You aren't worth anyone's time. 

No one cares about your tears. 

No one cares that you exist.

No one will ever love you. 

These lies I speak are the truth. You will forever believe them. You do what I say. You can't expect to think I am being untrue. I'll lie to you forever. I'll lie to you truths. 

Try to beat me. I know you can't.

Forever yours,

Your Little Devil

********************************************************

This isn't a poem, persay... But I am incredibly proud of this piece of writing. I was into playing with this concept of speaking from the point of view of that voice in your head that drags you down.It's different and I feel very good about this piece. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Little Love Poem

Once Upon A Time

You searched for your princess.
  The stunning beauty that you would love
True Love's Kiss.
Wonderful bliss.
You fought dragons for her.
Only to learn she didn't feel the same way.

I know I may be a toad compared to her.
  But maybe you are wishing after the wrong fairytale.
I know the truth...

Maybe I'm her...

But what if I told you I was her?
  I want to be able
       to help you
        to hold you
         to love you
     We would be us at all times
 

Our lives would be intertwined.
   Loneliness would never be with us.
     We would live on
  Into our own

Happily Ever After.

***********************************************************************************

So I really like the idea of Fairytales and this is one of those poems that shows that. Enjoy:)
