Staring through my windowsill

Starting through my windowsill
The sky is full of dust
Poetry beats at my window
Like the gusty wind.
Staring through my windowsill
Leaves dance in the air
Like the thoughts in my head.
Staring out the windowsill
The raindrops fall onto the ground
Pitter-patter-pitter-patter
Like the beats of my heart.

Taste the moment

Press your lips against the rush
Let your hands linger during each minute.
Grasp onto the duration
Kiss the adrenaline
Hear each second
Just
Taste the moment.

Look at me now (part of this was inspired by that Phil Collins song..)

Standing there
With an empty heart
That was once filled.
Losing the grip to my soul.
Staring right back
All we had has left
How can you just act
As if we had nothing
Nothing with any meaning?
Wandering around the room
In awe of this tragedy.
Can you look at me
And tell me that you
Were numb to this?
Just take a look at me now.
And reveal this truth
To my blank face.
Just walk away. Don't turn back.
Nothing can be recovered.
Take a look.
Take a look at me now.

Daddy where have you been

(This poem was inspired by thoughts during childhood as I grew
up without my father.)

Little girl with brother.
Little girl with mother.
Little girl without a father.

She sits in the kitchen
Watching her mother close.
Waiting for her daddy to walk in
And tell her he loves her so.

In her room on her bed.
Holding her teddy bear close.
She cries at night.
When she needs her daddy the most.

Little girl with brother.
Little girl with mother.
Little girl without a father.

The most

The one who is the most
Makes her happy when she is around him.
The one who is the most
Follows behind her everyday.
The one who is the most
Mesmerizes her with his love.
The one who is the most
Is glued inside her thoughts.
The one who is the most
Is always there when she comes back.

She loves him

Reflecting on his words
Visualizing him there
Thinking about him
As she says some prayers
Finding herself not getting enough
She constantly has the urges
To attain some of his love
Lost in his eyes,
Captured by his smile,
She wouldn't mind
Being with him for awhile
