A Valentine
For her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous eyes,
Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
Search narrowly the lines!- they hold a treasure
Divine- a talisman- an amulet
That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure-
The words- the syllables! Do not forget
The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
Which one might not undo without a sabre,
If one could merely comprehend the plot.
Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
Of poets, by poets- as the name is a poet's, too,
Its letters, although naturally lying
Like the knight Pinto- Mendez Ferdinando-
Still form a synonym for Truth- Cease trying!
You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.

if the love of your life died,
what would you do if they died a terrible death,
would you get revenge,
would you hate everyone,
would you become a murderer in return,
would you cry your life away,
or would you take your life away?
What would you do,
if your best friend committed suicide,
what would you do if they died terribly,
would you laugh because no tears will come,
would you cry until it is all over,
would you do the same,
would you run away,
or would you just throw it all away?
What would you do,
if you were hit by a car,
what would you do if you were dying,
would you feel sorry for yourself,
would you cry until the end,
would you remember everything you have ever done,
would you call your mom,
or would you hate the person until your life has gone away?
What would you do,
when everything ends for you or a friend?
What would you do?
Here is another poem. It is a bit dark but the truth is always darker than it seems.
Isolated,
I am isolated,
I isolate myself from the people who might care about me...
Watching,
They watch me but are blind,
Blind to the emotions that are always rinning through my mind while they just stare...
Broken,
My heart is broken,
The cracks run deep and I know will never be filled...
Unseen,
I feel unseen,
Unseen by the ones who walk the halls and just look right through me...
Tears,
They never want to stop,
The tears stream down my face until the burn my cheeks...
Darkness,
I am lost in a sea of black,
The waves crash around me and threaten to swallow me forever
Isolated,
I am isolated,
I isolate myself from the people who might care about me...
Watching,
They watch me but are blind,
Blind to the emotions that are always rinning through my mind while they just stare...
Broken,
My heart is broken,
The cracks run deep and I know will never be filled...
Unseen,
I feel unseen,
Unseen by the ones who walk the halls and just look right through me...
Tears,
They never want to stop,
The tears stream down my face until the burn my cheeks...
Darkness,
I am lost in a sea of black,
The waves crash around me and threaten to swallow me forever
There are times when our loss makes us to feel happy
When in a problem one small support makes us to feel lucky
Times when we are crying one word makes us to laugh
Even if heart is all ours they live in half
Making fun even if we don’t like is their habit
On our single smile in sadness they jump and run like rabbit
Don’t recall the past, don’t worry about future
They teach us like experienced tutor
They are my dearest friends
Who live with me with love that never ends
No end, everyday is a new start
There is no way we can be apart
When in a problem one small support makes us to feel lucky
Times when we are crying one word makes us to laugh
Even if heart is all ours they live in half
Making fun even if we don’t like is their habit
On our single smile in sadness they jump and run like rabbit
Don’t recall the past, don’t worry about future
They teach us like experienced tutor
They are my dearest friends
Who live with me with love that never ends
No end, everyday is a new start
There is no way we can be apart
Dedicated to a friend of mine, may he and his family and everyone who knew him know that he now is with God

Only knew you for a few years
Cause of Dad's new job
You always were my favorite
One of them to talk to
You always smiled
And never thought a bad thing
Even when your son was messing up
You just laughed and helped him
And always forgave
No one knew you would leave us
On that cold winter day
Now i cant rember your name without crying
We never were close
Yet we had so much in common
No one needed to know us
You and I were fine
I knew it wasnt a cold
It was always something more
You ignored it all
And went on with your life
I wanted to say something
And i never said goodbye
I wish i could of said goodbye
For you are here
No more

When I talk to my friends I pretend I am standing on the wings
of a flying plane. I cannot be trusted to tell them how I am.
Or if I am falling to earth weighing less
than a dozen roses. Sometimes I dream they have broken up
with their lovers and are carrying food to my house.
When I open the mailbox I hear their voices
like the long upward-winding curve of a train whistle
passing through the tall grasses and ferns
after the train has passed. I never get ahead of their shadows.
I embrace them in front of moving cars. I keep them away
from my miseries because to say I am miserable is to say I am like them.

I am mysterious yet sweet
I wonder what the future brings
I hear wolves singing to the moon
I see diamonds swimming in a black sea above me as I lay in the grass.
I want people to understand me completely
I am random yet shy
I pretend I am always going on new adventures
I feel misunderstood
I touch shards of my past, remembering them
I worry that I won't find someone who can view things the way I do
I am courageous yet cunning
I cry because the blames fall on me
I understand people's problems
I say witty things that persuade people
I dream of an absolution & life of adventure
I try to fit in but it's just so boring
I hope to travel around the world making more friends along the way.
I am all that I am, I am all of me

Good and evil
Love and hate
The balances of life
Makes everything flow just right
Until misery takes control of your world...
Misery is a parasite
Feeds off other's to become stronger
It hunts for those who are happy
Only to bite and infect them
With it's disease
It penetrates deep into your mind
Death and despair flood the thoughts
The virus spreads further...to your soul
You are sick with misery
Contagious
You don't want to infect
Forced into isolation
A weak body and a weak mind
There is no cure for you to find
Until the day comes when an antidote called Love
Finds it's way inside
And kills the virus
But cures are hard to find
Like any love is...
