~Her~

I'm waiting on you.
Your person is only sparks in my mind.
But I'm waiting on you.
Your frailty hidden by secret's cruel bind.

Your love, wrote in dreams I've made.
Your face, of unfamiliar beauty laid.
Your words, with wisdom's timely delay.
Your hair, like springing life in may.

Your hands, of lovely petite crest.
My eyes on frail and beauty rest.
Your life, like spring time flower's bloom.
My heart of midnight dreams, made room.

To have you, hold you, take you soon.
Lack of your song is death's cruel tune.
To sleep and dream of loves fair thought.
To feel all the love you've brought...
Beneath the goodness two can bring.
By plans unveiled from our king.

To have you, hold you, as love stirs.
To know this dream, means hope endures.

To know that hope can endure.

(for "Her"... for you... I want you to know I do, and will always love you forever. how can I not love you? and I know if you are reading this, that you might think "how can you not love me because you only know the good things I've done"... baby I know you'll love me, and I've lived far from perfect. someday I know you will understand. I love you)

~Paper Soul~

I've seen your soul, your mind, and your heart.
Spilled out to make words, and a piece of art.
I've never seen you, I don't know where you live.
I just know these beautiful words that you give.
I love the wait, the pain, and the wonderful joy.
I love the situations, and dealings, in the words you deploy.

Your inspiration is key to your life.
Most of your words are gentle... others cut like a knife.
I feel I only indulge the reader a look of alphabetical rhyme
acting out my poems as if I were a mime.
But you set your life in a beautiful poetic embrace.
I'm just saying you've inspired me, even though I've never seen your face.

You've taught me that even love doesn't make your life wonderful,
it just makes your emotions more deep and more beautiful.

Thank you for your poems.

(to Megan Staley... I'm not a wack-o. I'm not in love with you, I don't want to stalk you... I just want to tell you that your poetry has inspired me. and I love how beautiful it is. thank you)
