Still...
OWritten: July 1, 2006
They're still inside
Still won't go away
A little bit has subside
Sarcasm was the way
Borne from days of keeping
Too much patience kills, I see
Not the offender, but the being
Who let things just be
For this long the heart's still heavy
It will take time to heal and be ready
Still there's hope, no need to worry
In time it will pass and still be happy.

If only
Originally written on Wednesday, February 08, 2006
If only....
If only I could stop it
If only I could control it
If only I could block it
If only I could harden it
It's deep inside me
Swelling, beating relentlessly
Restlessness is what it brought me
So ceaseless, totally undistracted
Oh why does it have to be so soft?
Why can't I just reach in and pull it up?
Why won't you put me out of this misery?
Rise and be light, oh my heavy heart!

Ode to my favorite books
Written on August 24, 2005
I made this poem by using all the titles of Judith McNaught books - my ultimate favorite author.
I still remember when I first saw you
You're so perfect, too good to be true
Something wonderful fluttered inside me that day
And I just knew you're someone to watch over me
Even the night whispers they agree
Your presence bring miracles and changed my life
That I never thought there were angels until you
I was in paradise when you said you love me too
The two of us together was such a tender triumph
It was a kingdom of dreams coming true
From then on my world is always almost heaven
I pledge my love to you in double exposure
Double standards will have no place in our lives
I adore you, my love, and bear this in mind
Every breath you take all your life
I love you for only once and always
