so, here are a couple more old poems i dug up and decided to post. the first is one that came out of a period of intense creativity (ah if only i had the time nowadays). the second was a creative writing assignment that i never got around to finishing, so i apologize if the end is a bit abrupt. once again, any feedback is greatly appreciated :).
stargazing
i dream in broad daylight
of an old front porch swing
where i sit cradling my guitar
singing you a song
while your paintbrush splashes sunbeams
across my upturned face
paint drips
in rainbow rivulets
down your sun-kissed skin
your eyes are filled with laughter
and i'm a symphony of smiles
your body is a constellation
and every star is mine
see you and me
we're painting poetry
one canvas
at a time
untitled
the other day you called me
to tell me you're in love
with a woman equally willing
to compromise her integrity
you say she loves you back
but i can see she only loves
the way you make her feel
and its not going to be pretty
when you factor yourself into the deal
now you hide in the darkness
from people who might see your light
and you cling to each other
with all your might

true friends are hard to come by...
yet when you catch them you feel like you can fly...
you trust them,
love them,
and talk of future...
you know that they will never lie...
and next to them you stand side by side...
you love them,
hug them,
and share smiles with eachother...
oh how it feels when you know your important...
that you know you have some one to comfort you...
you hold their hand,
skip down the street,
and feel no defeat...
true friends are hard to come by...
but hold them tight so away they dont fly.

shadows in the night
every one keeps telling me i'll be alright
I tell myself i'll never be the same
as long as i know his name
he made me fall in love
we never have to fight
he makes me fell alright
he is a dove the sign of love
to feel the love
it fits like a glove
love send from above
shadows in the night
we never fight
people tell me i'll be alright
i no i won't untell he comes back to me
that will set me free
we can be
the showdows in the night
he came back to me
every one keeps telling me i'll be alright
I tell myself i'll never be the same
as long as i know his name
he made me fall in love
we never have to fight
he makes me fell alright
he is a dove the sign of love
to feel the love
it fits like a glove
love send from above
shadows in the night
we never fight
people tell me i'll be alright
i no i won't untell he comes back to me
that will set me free
we can be
the showdows in the night
he came back to me
