Male penguins scour the Earth for one little pebble,
A perfect one, for someone special.
Giving the pebble as a sign of love,
...

I'm sorry I walked into your life,
I'm sorry I ever loved you,
I'm sorry I fought so hard,
Just to lose you to,
...

How can I help myself,
Because I'm starting to fall.
...

Life is full of restrictions,
Too many decisions,
Not enough organization,
Making fatal collisions,
...

If Heaven wasn't so far away,
I'd go see you tomorrow for Father's day.
Tell you how I've missed you,
And how I love you too.
...

Her hands are soft and small,
And they can't hold much at all.
Her nails are painted rainbow,
Hurt and sorrow they don't know.
...

Oh I can't sleep,
Oh I can't breathe.
I feel diffrent,
I feel like me.
...

I like you the way you are,
Your short blonde hair,
...

It's hard to explain how I feel,
Or how it's my heart you heal,
When it's not your place to,
But I'm very greateful for you,
...

Your eyes,
They draw me in,
Your lips,
Makes me want to kiss you,
...

[7/5/10- for my dad who died 6 months ago that date. My dad always wore these brown work boots.]

Daddy's boots left by the back door,
The sight of them makes my heart sore.
...

Whisper your secrets into my skin,
Come out clean, I'll hold your sin.
Whisper your secrets to my lone heart,
Before our sin's poison gets a head start.
...

The waves crash onto the sandy beach,
The sun dries water off our skin like a leach.
The warm sand covers our wet feet,
We dance around to the background beat.

What is teenage love,
And is it ever enough?
...

(originally written: Auguat 19th 2011)

As she stood there with an upturned face,
A man behind her held her waist.

[Written July 3rd]

I'm the green of the dancing trees,
I'm the wind blowing the billowing weeds.
...

Lips locked tight I'm not one to kiss and tell,
All those moments always went so well.
The sweet breeze blowing my hair,
blowing away any worry or any care.
...

[Written September 18th 2010]

The music in the background,
Fades as we dance around.
...

I want the world to see,
That in the end it'll be you and me.
When people look at us they'll know,
That a love likes ours takes time to grow.
...

[A poem for my Father who died a few months ago.]

After traveling compleyly alone,
I'll find my way back home,
