Sweet Pea

What is it about nature?

When I'm out there... 
   I feel so comfortable.

Just walking through it's beauty...
  Admiring the wild flowers.
Especially the sweet pea.
   That's my favorite.

Then there's you in the mix of this all.
  You make the day go by so fast
    Too fast.

I wish I could slow it all down and take it all in. 
  Because nature has so much to take in.

I've fallen farther in nature again.


What is it about nature?

Nature is one of my strongest muses. No doubt in my mind about that. It's just so beautiful. I hope you enjoy this poem! It's short, sweet, and simple. Enjoy:)

I Won't Give Up

I won't give up.

    I won't give up the feeling
    When we are together

          I won't give up the way
          You make my heart flutter

             I won't give up the words
             Of never ending encouragement

                I won't give up the way
                You see my flaws and still stay

                   I won't give up the light
                   That you bring with your smile

                       I won't give up the simpleness
                       In the way you show how you care

                          I won't give up how easy
                          You make it to care

I won't ever give up
Trying to make you realize how I feel about you
Because I want to make you feel as special as you make me feel

You deserve to be happy, my dear.
So let's hold on to us while we can.

Because I won't give up on us.

So I was listening to the song "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz which is one of my favorite songs of all time and I decided to write a poem with the title. It's a beautiful song! Enjoy:)

Sunlight's Hope

Your welcoming arms outstretched
           Before the warmth
Of your beautiful smile

                    The first light after a dark cold night

Your warmth penetrates the souls
           Of the mourning
And the heartbroken

                     Chasing away darkness with your glow

Your arms envelop the pain
            And sorrow; giving freely
Hope and comfort

                      The forgotten darkness now filled with sunlight

The nightmare now flees from
             Your powerful,
Gentle embrace

                     Replacing hearts of fear with hearts of faith

Oh Glorious One! Oh Hopeful One!
              Your joyful rays
Now gleam around us

                      Bringing gladness to such a worried world

I will not hide
             From loved dawning light
And new hope it will bring

                      A hope and comfort needed by all that breathe

I wrote this as a sophomore in high school. It was this poem that made me realize I loved writing poetry and maybe I was actually good at it. I always is a powerful one to go back and read and still am proud of it. Enjoy:)

That Boy

There's that boy...

       The one who's smile is contagious
       The one who's laugh is infectious
       The one who holds on close and tight
       The one who takes away pain
       The one who is wonderful
       The one who is so much more than he ever could seem


There's that boy...

       There's my boy...

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

So I wrote this awhile back. I think it's one of the cutest poems I've written! I can't help but smile every time I read it. I hope it makes you smile as well. Enjoy:)

For The Better

Look here.

Tell me what you see.

I think I know.

     You've seen this girl who's life seems simplistic.
        You've put up your blinders when she is silently crying out
            You've been kind, but haven't really known her.

Guess what?

She's dying now.
     She's being replaced ever so slowly.
          She's changing for the better.


And this change is for good.

So next time you jump to the conclusion that someone lives an easy life
        Try delving into their soul

You may learn the opposite is true.

So I was listening to the WICKED soundtrack and sat down and wrote this! Enjoy:)
