i get what you are saying-- poetry is so soul-baring and intimate. that is why i am shy about sharing my own and admire those of you who do. to share my poems would be to share a side of myself that i don't let a lot of people see. to be brave enough to do that is a rare gift. :-)

I found this in a magazine many years ago and I cut it out and have kept it.
By Bobbie R. Coleman.

If you touch me
I might not let go, I might
creep inside your body
silent and soft
as a cat's paw
I might merge,
become part of you
enter your being smoothly,
effortless as air, I might
want to mingle with your molecules
synchronize with each synapse
touch each cell carefully
delicate as a butterfly's kiss
inhale and exhale in unison
then curl up and sleep
in a corner of your heart.

right now i'm feeling so worn out
in this place i don't belong
my soul is feeling so spread out
how long can i hang on
to the endlessness of lonely nights
that follow lonely days?
i ride the train to the city lights
and the sadness it portrays

and a hand touches my shoulder
and a stillness warms my heart
tomorrow i'll be older
and i'll have the strength to start

the man on the street wants my money
so i give him my last dime
i know that i'll find myself someday
but i fear i'm running out of time
to figure out where i belong
and where i ought to be
i know i'm right but i think i'm wrong
because the one thing i can't see

is the angel up above me
and the lessons of my past
and the gentle hand of destiny
that will guide me there at last.

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without, please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind all those, I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the love we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home.
Then God looked down and smiled at me, from His golden throne,
“He said this is eternity and all I promised you.”

Today life on earth is passed, but there it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same day,
There’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last are free.
So won’t you take my hand and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.

The sound of your voice, turns my insides to mush
The soft moaned 'I want yous' that cause me to blush
Everytime with you, I get that first time rush
I love you, I do, you're my number one crush.

I love all your poems, Gidget. Thanks for posting them here.

I thought I'd lighten the mood in here a little bit... I came across this when going through old boxes of stuff I've been holding onto since HS. One of my assignments in 9th grade English class was to write a ballad. Kind of gives some perspective on how young I really am, given that I was in GRADE NINE when this was all over the news. Incedentally, I got the only perfect grade on this project.

The Legend of the Lost Pee-Pee

One day, John Wayne Bobbit's wife
was getting sick and tired
So she went and got the kitchen knife
and said, "John, it's time to retire".

She waited 'til he was asleep,
then crawling on the ground
to the bedroom she did creep
making not a sound.

She pulled, and sliced, and tugged, and tore,
and through this, all the while
All John Bobbit did was sleep,
on his face, a sheepish smile.

Blood soaked through the sheets and bed
turning them dark brown.
John, unaware he'd lost his head,
still slept without a frown.

She threw it in a field of rice
not far down the road
She was sure that John had paid his price
for now the world would know.

John woke and found it wasn't there...
he searched A.S.A.P.
But he couldn't find it anywhere!
Where ever could it be??

He cried, "Oh No! My peter's gone!
Whatever shall I do??

But the good old docter sewed it on,
saying, "There! As good as new!

Now, John is a porno star
all the girls will flock to see.
He's got a great new house and a fancy car
and a legend... The Lost Pee-Pee.

Conversation long overdue
Wind now in my hair
The memory of your voice
Still caressing my ears
The words take on
A reality of their own
Each utterance a thousand feelings
Who’d have thought we could grow
Beyond the actions
Beyond the past
A new world emerging
A happy ending at last.

I read this again today and wanted to share it:

Things I Have Learned

I've learned....
That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned....
That when you're in love, it shows.

I've learned....
That just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.

I've learned....
That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

I've learned....
That being kind is more important than being right.

I've learned....
That you should never say no to a gift from a child.

I've learned....
That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.

I've learned....
That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

I've learned....
That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

I've learned....
That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.

I've learned....
That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned....
That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.

I've learned....
That money doesn't buy class.

I've learned....
That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned....
That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned....
That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?

I've learned....
That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I've learned....
That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

I've learned....
That love, not time, heals all wounds.

I've learned....
That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

I've learned....
That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

I've learned....
That there's nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheeks.

I've learned....
That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

I've learned....
That life is tough, but I'm tougher.

I've learned....
That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

I've learned....
That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I've learned....
That I wish I could have told my Dad that I love him one more time before he passed away.

I've learned....
That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I've learned....
That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I've learned....
That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

I've learned....
That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.

I've learned....
That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

I've learned....
That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.

I've learned....
That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

I'm not sure who wrote it, but I read it here.

lives destroyed was never the plan
starts full of promise
what makes us keep doing it
again and again

tears hot come unbidden
to the sound track of our lives
songs once so joyful
cut like a knife

most of us go on
some even heal
but some hearts arent so resilient
and wish they didnt feel.

Cat got your tongue?
You make me laugh
Speak for yourself
And not through your staff.

Keep your friends close
Term used loosely
Enemies closer
Step on the debris.

Be a cliché
Weak parody
Or grow backbone
And bring it to me.
