The Day You Said You Loved Me

I remember the day you said you loved me,
It came so unexpectantly.
Hand in hand, side by side,
You whispered it to me.
Silently it fluttered out
From your tender lips.
I got a tingle so strong
It started at my fingertips.
"I love you," is what you said
"More than words can say,
I think of you all the time,
Every hour of every day."
I closed my eyes to take it in
And then I opened them.
And when I did that's how I stayed,
For what I saw was him.
It was the truth that I could see,
Shining from your eyes.
You had trapped me in your love-
The day you said you loved me.

Love Is Blind

As long as rain will fall,
Your smile will flash rainbows through sky blue,
Because I am the giver that does deliver,
My aching love to you.

The stars that glitter the winter night to so bitter,
Are silvery sweet and diamond bell,
There is nothing that could separate us,
Not even the flaming fires of hell.

I know that I may be a rhapsodizing romantic,
I realize my dreams are fantasy,
Love is blind and blind is love,
And in darkness you fail to see.

Together we can overcome,
Unfortunate strife we cannot alone face,
Still love for us is a concept,
That I cannot begin to place.

Even if our love fails,
I know I can rely,
For our everlasting infatuation,
Inside will never die.

Love

Love is like a ire burning within you.
It can bum forever on passion and loving care
that can fill you with warmth and happiness.
But it can be blown out by despair and loneliness
know you and feelings unwanted.

A Poem

Lock yourself up in your room
the more you try the more you get confused
Feel like a puppet in some forgotten play
collecting dust, watching time fly away
In a dream you once thought that you had made it
upon waking up, you notice the finish line's so far away
you can't even see it
Try, try, try
You might succeed one day
But your heart's so tired from the hurt and pain
Try, try, try
Your soul won't let your heart break down
won't let your heart give up
Don't give in to the catastrophes that make your life so difficult
Don't back down, never give up
Live your life, don't let go
You'll make it if you just keep getting up
We'll find each other on the other side
You just watch, the day will come:
Your peals of laughter ringing true
Your eyes twinkle with the sparks of experience
So bright, so blinding---
the stars above will envy you.

Think Before You Do

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting; she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great, But the
Moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoked and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(And by a pass, I don't mean playing football.)
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff far away:
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car was alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!" Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there-she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her Mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant, but true
The moral of the story is to think before you do.
