Souls Connect
(Dedicated to Anthony Mitchell)
Souls connect
Through words,
Emotions, and feelings.
My heart beats
At the sounds of
The waves through
Your mouth into
My soul.
The only noises
I hear are of your
Spoken feelings
And vibrating
Emotions.
Stars shine
Bright when
It’s not night,
The stars join
Together as one
And creates wisdom.
Connection arises
Between one and it
Cannot be separated.
Visions of life’s
Future comes to
My mind and i
Visualize you only,
My soulmate.
Souls connect
Through one
Another, our
Heartbeats are one,
Our lives are one,
We are one.
Force Doesn’t Exist
Pure, gleaming
Sand goes through
My soft fingers with
No force upon it.
Force doesn’t
Exist in my world,
But my world is not
Real.
The only
Light I see
Is at night when
The moon shines
And ricochets onto
The sand and pierces
Those who uses their
Feet to feel the warm,
Rough, gentle, powdery
Jewels that shines
Only with the soul.
Souls connect
With nature
As nature connects
With the mother of
The living.
Every piece
Of sand that’s
Picked up is cherished,
One by one.
It’s loved,
It’s intimate
With the divine,
It’s never to be
Forgotten,
It’s real.
Nothing in
The world matters
At this moment,
Nothing is forced
Upon me at this moment.
Whispers From Heaven
There’s whispers,
I can hear them.
The whispers
Is like music to
My ears.
I can’t
Stop thinking
About the whispers,
They’re delightful
And peaceful.
They’re whispers
From heaven.
In Love
A woman
Is in love
With a beautiful
Flower.
Darkness
It’s dark outside….
Pitch black
Wither Away
Just wither away,
Please,
Go away.
I don’t need
You here,
I don’t need
You in my life.
You never cared
About me,
You never loved
Me at all.
Please,
Just leave
And don’t come
Back here.
Just wither away,
Please,
Go away.
Shame On Me
Shame on me
For thinking you
Cared,
Shame on me
For thinking we
We’re paired.
Shame on me
For trusting you,
Shame on me
For giving you
My whole heart and
Soul.
Shame on me
For thinking we
Were real,
Shame on me
For thinking
You loved me
More than anything.
Shame on me
For loving you.
Fragile
I’m as fragile
As an immature
Baby,
I’m as fragile
As a little old
Lady.
I’m as fragile
As an ant,
I’m as fragile
As a little unhealthy
Plant.
I’m as fragile
As fragile can get.
Happiness, Sadness Gone
Tears of happiness
Running down my face non-stop –
The sadness is gone
Climbing A Mountain
I’m climbing
A mountain to be
With you,
I’m climbing
A mountain to see
Your face.
I’m climbing
A mountain so we
Can be happy,
I’m climbing
A mountain so we’ll
Never be apart.
I’m climbing
A mountain to
Stick by you,
I’m climbing
A mountain for you
Because I love you.
Look Me In My Eyes
Look me in
The eyes and
Tell me you don’t
Love me.
Look me in
The eyes and
Tell me that you
Hate me.
Look me in
The eyes and
Tell me that you
Don’t care about
Me.
Look me in
The eyes and
Tell me that the
Last three things
Are true because
That’s how i
Feel about you.
Going Down
I feel like,
Like my world
Is tearing apart,
It’s like I’ve
Been hit with
A dart a million
Times.
See,
What i
Feel inside
Doesn’t
Have nothing
To do with you,
It has something
To do with me.
It seems like
I’m going down,
Then I’m being
Lifted up like
A pattern.
There’s only
So much I can
Take and I feel
Like I’m not going
To make it.
So, please,
Save me from
Going down
And please bring
Me back up.
The Break-Up
You think
It’s not hard
For me to
let
You go?
Do you really
Think that this
Is what I really
Wanted to do?
This break-up
Was hard on me too,
Probably harder
On me than it was on you.
I may act
Like I’m over it,
But I’m really not,
I’m just faking it.
In Poverty
We’re living
In poverty,
We have nothing.
Homeless,
Living in trailers.
People calling
Us trailer trash,
Not caring what
We feel.
No food,
No clothes,
Last but not least,
No money.
Having to knock
On doors of people’s
Houses for money
Because we don’t have
None and because
We’re in poverty.
A Dream I Dreamed
I remember
When I was little,
I dreamed of
My prince charming.
I remember
I dreamed that
I would be the first
Choice between me
And that brat.
I remember
Me dreaming
About being loved
Unconditionally.
I remember
Dreaming about
Him being
My one and only,
But I found out
That it was
And always will be
Just a dream.
L.O.V.E
Love is beautiful
Often it can be doubtful
Very sweet and good
Even loving and that’s how it should be
On Earth
The sounds of
The rain hitting
The window,
The crickets chirping
In the meadow.
The wind
Blowing cool
And smooth.
Frogs croaking
Around the pond,
While me and friend
Talk, laugh, and bond.
Sounds Being Heard
Crickets chirping,
Water splashing,
Cold breezy water.
Crows and birds
Flapping their wings,
I, hearing the wind
In the spring.
Late night owls,
You could hear from
10 miles.
Trees hitting
Windows,
I can hear,
I can hear sounds
Coming from nature.
Never Give Up On You
It seems
Like miles
That I’ve had
To run just
To not lose you
And just to keep
You in my life.
I’m running
Short and as
I run,
It seems that
I may never catch
You.
Tears run down
My face as I feel
Myself giving
Up and knowing
That you are gone
For good.
It kills me,
It kills me to know
That I will never get
To love you, see you,
Feel you.
I will never
Meet another
Person like you.
I don’t think
I’ll ever want to
Because to me,
You’re my one
And only and I’ll
Never give up on you.
Left Me Hurting
You left me,
Left me alone,
Unattended and
Now my heart is
Broken.
Because of your
Selfish, unrighteous,
Ego, I’m afraid I have to
Protect myself from this
cold-hearted world.
I have to
Protect myself
From strangers,
Family, anyone who
Has a mouth to even
Speak falsely to me
In that unknown language
Of sickness and pain.
Never in my
Lifetime did I think
That you of all people
Would step on, scratch,
And tear my into my
Heart and soul,
Trying to make me
Feel unloved and hurt
As to which point,
I would feel worthy of
Not living in this so
Called “perfect world”.
You left me
And you hurt me
But now, I’m trying
To mend my
Broken heart and
This time,
You’re not coming
Back.
Why Are You Here?
Why are you
Here all of a sudden
After you tore
My heart into pieces
Like I meant nothing to you?
You left me,
You abandoned me
Like I was a stray
Out on a street.
After all that
I’ve been through,
I expected you
To be here, but you
Were nowhere to be
Found.
You say it
Was for my
Own good, right?
But to me, that’s
Just another excuse.
Sometimes, I ask,
What did I do wrong?
But all I could think
Of was loving you.
But if loving
You is a crime
And if loving you
Is what made
You leave me,
I would take it back
In a second just for you
To come back to me.
But you could
Care less because all
You’re going to do
Is leave me again.
So, why
Are you here?
Why are you here
If all you’re going
To do is abandon
Me all over again.
My Lullaby
My lullaby
That I now write
Is of my life.
For you do
Not want my life.
It is like
A puzzle that
Can’t be fixed.
It is like
A tornado,
Running wild.
My lullaby
That I now write
Is of my life.
The good
And the bad
That comes in
And goes out.
Heartbreaks
That never stop.
My lullaby
That I now write
Is of my life.
Suddenly,
There’s life,
Then there’s death.
Never knowing
What to expect.
My lullaby
That I now write
Is of my life.
Life comes
And goes, but
The spirit of human
Life will always stay.
Worth It
Why?
Why does this
Happen to me?
Am I supposed
To deserve this?
Am I being punished?
What did i
Do wrong?
I feel as if
I’m not worth
It,
As if I should
Just leave
And never come
Back.
I always
Wonder if that’s
The best thing,
But then I think,
“no”, stay and
Experience.
But still,
I wonder if
I’m worth it.
No More Chances
You stab me
In the back,
Not physically,
But with your
Words.
If you think
I’m forgiving you,
I don’t know what
You heard,
I’m not the one
To just give in.
You take me
For a fool,
But you don’t
Know what I know
About you.
I gave you
So many chances,
But now,
I don’t have
No more chances
To give.
Cry Me To Sleep
You cry
Me to sleep
And not
In a good way.
I feel abandoned,
Abandoned in a way
I can’t say to make
You understand.
I now see
You’re not the
Man for me.

Untitled
My stuffed animal
Sits there
As it watches me
Do my hair
Bubbles
Blowing bubbles is
So much fun I cannot stop-
Bubbles are floating
Mating Bird
Male bird is chirping
To mate with a female bird-
Reproduce offspring
I Won’t Miss You
I won’t miss
You after how you
Hurt me,
I won’t miss
You after being
Stomped on and
Thrown away
Like trash.
I won’t miss
You after you
Used me,
I won’t miss
You after you
Wasted my time.
I won’t miss
You because of
Your infidelity,
I won’t miss
You after what you’ve
Put me through.
I won’t miss
You… I won’t
Miss you.
