Your words flow

Like poetry

Softly, gently

Soaring

Unobscured

By clouds

Your truth

And honesty

Warm me up

Inside

The way sunshine

Sets me free

On a beautiful day

From one minute to the next…

Lightning strikes, where we least expect

It is with this type of precision…

We can change our lives with one decision

You really need to know…

Understanding where it is, you intend to go

The fire inside your heart…

Will spark the answers about where to start

Like an arrow stays the course…

Calculating carefully, before applying force

Moments hold such great power…

In time, a seed turns into an incredible flower

Will it be a journey or a ride…

Everything changes, the moment that you decide

I

Live for my dreams

Watching their mystery unfold is even greater than it seems

I

Long to explore

Knowing there are always new worlds behind every unopened door

I

Love with all my heart

Seeing the beauty of every living person, paint the world with their art

I

Like possibility

Finding joy in each new day of living and hoping for what may still be

I

Learn how to fly

Falling never scares me, so there really is no reason for me not to try

I

Let my tears fall

Understanding life brings both pain and beauty, if we are to have it all

I

Look all around

Discovering that after all the years and tears and laughter, it is me, I’ve found

Deep down inside

I have feelings that run ten thousand miles wide

Feelings so strong

Lyrics from my heart form into a beautiful song

I must express

The way you touch me brings such happiness

For all I know

Its you, moon beams and rainbows that set me aglow

I write

Upon a blank canvas of white

I see

An endless sea of possibility

I sing

When no one is listening

I dance

Every time I get the chance

I hope

Clinging to the end of the rope

I pray

In my own private kind of way

I look

Beyond the cover of every book

I find

Excitement in every different kind

I fly

Higher, the more that I try

I leap

Into moments that, forever, I will keep

I live

Understanding how to receive and to give

I learn

With great hunger, I do yearn

I look into a fountain

What do I see

The reflection of a mountain

Staring back at me

I gaze into the mirror

What do I see

The image is getting clearer

Staring back at me

I look out the window

What do I see

The colors of a  rainbow

Staring back at me

I gaze up at the moon

What do I see

A beaming yellow balloon

Staring back at me

I look at myself

What do I see

A book upon the shelf

Staring back at me

I gaze up at the sun

What do I see

My one, my only one

Staring back at me

For far too long I remained standing in the room

The walls seem to keep me from all that I knew I could do

It was my intention to exit very soon

I had a great escape plan, but was the last one who knew

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

The greatest dance steps waltz dancers across many floors

I am ready to learn new ways, oh, won’t you teach me yours

And with the keys in my pocket, I will be opening many new doors

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

There will be no more hiding inside those four walls

But I will be there,roaming around the halls

And I will answer my promise, when It calls

And I plan on shining, long after darkness falls

When I look into your eyes

I get lost a thousand times

I never wonder if it is wise

To get lost in your eyes

When I look into your eyes

I get feelings so sublime

I am always taken by surprise

By the wonder in your eyes

When I look into your eyes

My breath stops and then it sighs

The greatest feelings of love applies

From the beauty in your eyes

When I look into your eyes

It is like flying in the bluest skies

Then suddenly time flies

That is the power of your eyes

When I look into your eyes

I am captured by the way they mesmerize

There is no mountain I would not climb

Just to spend forever in your eyes

When I look into your eyes…

(Title poem to my forthcoming book of poetry, The Social Media Poet, poems, posts, and prose of encouragement)

He is standing at the crossroads

He is divided down the middle

He’s got mad rhythm to throw a riddle

He is living in two worlds

He’s post modern and always moving forward fast

While he has one foot planted firmly in the past

Though his beliefs are quite progressive

Still his behavior can be regressive

He has passion for his writing

He paints images so exciting

He knows he’s got a gift with words

He is searching for a hero

And feels like he’s starting at ground zero

Cause sometimes he just can’t find his way

He comes baring gifts from yesterday

He knows constant change is here to stay

He has so much that he wants to say

He has no plans to go away

He’s social and he loves to play

He’s going to bring it everyday

His poems can lift or paint in gray

Though you may not even know it

You just fell under the spell… of the modern day poet
