Pamela Jean

by Ben Laney

Her name is Pamela Jean

The most beautiful baby sister

Any little boy has ever seen

I used to hold her in my arms

And sleep with her in the crib

But she got sick and was gone

Before she ever wore a bib

Though many years have slipped by

Since that terrible night she passed away

I have not stopped missing her

I think about her each and every day

So now I am awaiting

For the resurrection day to come

You know then I'll be running

To introduce her to everyone

Her name is Pamela Jean

The most beautiful baby sister

Any little boy has ever seen

When I first saw you

I thought you are an angel.

My heart grew wings

And flew to you

To rest in your arms

In total peace

Like a helpless child

In a mothers arms.

I saw an angel

Descend upon you

At that moment

I knew

I was truly

Blessed to have

Angel like you.

Better than Life

Fairuz

The thing that's better than life

Is you

All I love all the things you help me with

And do

If there's one thing I love

It's you

You've made my heart, my soul and mind

So knew

And ever since I met you I knew we're meant

To be

Because I really love you and you really

Love me

My Mother And I...

Jessica Imhof

we stayed up talking late into the night...

my mother and i.

we talked about boys and giggled a lot.

we practically talked about everything under the sky!

sometimes she's my best friend.

she holds me when i cry.

sometimes she's my worst enemy...

but no matter what-she will always be the sun in my sky.

things are better now...

we have gotten closer these past few years.

she picks me up when i fall

and wipes away the tears.

she takes care of me when i am sick...

and even when i am not.

she teaches me new things everyday...

and even stuff that i've forgot.

i hope we'll always stay close.

i hope our love will never die.

i hope we will stay together forever...

my mother and i!

SITTING AT MY DESK A MESS

BY:Tasheema Foy,

Hurt and pain is what I felt when you left. You left me a mess sitting at my desk. Pouring my heart out to youasking you why this is happening to us.

Pleading for you to stay, even if it's just for a couple of days, so we can work things out. You had all doubts about things going back to the way they were.

You tried to give me hints that you were against everything that I was saying but the love that I felt wouldn't let it get through cause all I wanted was you.

You told me it wouldn't work, without any explanation or any hesitation.

You didn't care that we spent so many years together. I thought this was forever but I guess you thought never.

You didn't want to be with me that's something i could never see, how could this be. As you walked away and started to fade-in to the shadows, I started to think of all the good days. The good days out weighed the bad ones, but now your picking up your bags, hoping in a cab. I'm sitting at my desk looking a mess putting things in my mind, he could have let it out kind. But that would be just wasting his time.

For Teenagers

My heart is a ray of sunshine

rising above all troubles, providing

comfort for those snared by

loneliness, or discouragement.

I am anxious to burst forth, as food

and shelter for youth seeking

truths and a belonging. Perhaps

I can add to their strengths

my paintbrush wiping out

woes, colouring over failures

a salve for inner selves.

I am a flame of hope for the young

my song, a red brilliance within

the promise of morning sun

love and understanding are my

weapons of peace.

Views From The Heart

Cindy Mich

It is rare in your lifetime to find a love so rich and sustaining

One human being who fulfills your soul's desires and awakens the senses both in mind and body

The two of you will discover new challenges and live in each other's dreams

Always remember the most precious element of your lives is the love you share each moment

The glances sometimes overlooked

The quiet moments in which words are not needed

Little smiles or hugs which one seeks at the end of each day

Remember that love is a promise that bonds you and your mate

Growing stronger and more passionate through time and nurturing

Never forget moments spent yesterday

Enjoy today as the first day of forever

View tomorrow as a privilege to love and be loved forever

Breath

by Nigel Estick

The Well ain't dry baby

its covered over with dirt and grim

throw a pebble in and it ripples

the crying has stopped now love.

You see, the water has stopped flowing

but the well ain't dry baby, no, its just resting.

A Mommy's Love

Suzanne Elizabeth Sweet

A Mommy's love is purer and unconditional...

A Mommy's love can never be erased...

A Mommy's love can never be replaced...

A Mommy's love continues through all time...

A Mommy's love is in a smile or a hug...

A Mommy's love is better than all loves combined...

A Mommy's love is unlike no other love you will ever find...

THE HEART

by: SABRINA PEEK

The heart is a precious gift.

It feels us with its loving beat.

Its beat is our life.

Though we may not know why.

We know we would die without it.

How precious is the heart.

Realize now the love that is inside.

Realize your gift.

Share your loving beat.

From your heart to mine.

Realize the beat it is combined.

From your heart and your mind.

Sweet and pure.

Power from within.

The heart and mind.

They are true.

"After Stolen Love"
by: Daniel Rolando Goicochea

This love I had was so real

and a thief in the night came to steal

it took away my heart

and my soul it tore apart

empty space only remains

unguided feelings damped by the rains

life has lost its passion

my tale has become old fashion

I've walked this path before

this time I'll stay on it, leaving it no more

there is no room for someone else to fill

intranquil my heart will become still

never to feel love again

only memories that once I had a friend

sharing with the dark it will feel my pain

comfort me shadows let my heart her memory retain

Heavenly Dreamer

from Tomine

Heavenly dreamer

Your voice touches the sky

So light even getting lighter

Yours eyes runs so dry

Your voice is a jewel

So deep and so calm

My angelical dreamer

My heart isn’t hard

Your feet get off the ground

And wind coaxed your soul

I saw a heavenly dreamer

Dancing in my room

When angels get their wings

Natasha R. Copley

As spirits float to heaven above

Your heart may drain of warmth and love

The hall of spirits is full again

Another baby is born on earth

You may not hear it

You may not see it

But angels start to sing and sing

And that's when angels get their wings

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER

youngsta_thang

i was so shy i was a loner

so, harrassin nobody,i was a dreamer

people were talkin about me like"the SHY LIL GIRL"

they thought i was shy,strenghless and a loser

they used to say :"hey whos with sarah?"

they used to answer:"nobody only the SLG."

so times went by and i got used to it

i was the SLG hangin with sarah and joana

in class when we had to work in teams

i was always the loner not seen

in gym class,when we were makin teams for b-ball

i was always the last picked by all

in my childhood they thought i was nobody

till i grew up and became somebody

now everybody wants to come around like i owe them sumtin

now im seen on TV and everybody wants 2b in my team

now everybody wants a piece of the SLG

its crazy how things can become

i used to be the lil girl in the corner

now im the woman in all the newspaper

now im the marilyn monroe of all time

none of 'em thought id become this fine

none of them thought id ever be in the spotlight

till i grew up and i blew up and became the vision to every sights

My knees shake when your in sight, then the

rest of the day your in my mind.

I'm in a

nervous wreck as you can see, will you just

set me free.

When I come back to school I see your face, it's almost like a sweet

embrace.

When I see you reading a book, it's

hard for me not to look.

Can't you see i'm

so confused, i'm trying not to blow a fuse.

Can you look at me and tell me what you see.

I'm so confused what can I do, I can't

think of anyone except you.

Please tell me

what I should do, my heart & soul is filled

with joy from you.

The reason is I dare not

speak, but you are my one true love, my

heart,my soul,my sweet.

There is no way I

could forget you, from all the things you

have put me through.

But just to be near & close to you it's my blessing of confusion,

I hold within myself. (confused)

"we"

we argue

we fight

we yell

we scream,

we laugh

we smile

and we love

we are sisters

and no matter what

we love one another

If I Wasn't Me

Sam Price

If I wasn't me

Who would I be?

Would I be a shepard tending to my sheep?

Would I be in a coma and never wake from sleep?

Would I be a pilot flying in the sky?

Would I be a chef specializing in apple pie?

Would I be a politician making stupid decisions?

Would I be a golfer hitting a ball with accurate precision?

Would I be a mugger never learning my victims name?

Would I be a stripper never hiding my face in shame?

Would I be born a women and wear skimpy clothes?

Would I Be conceived with different skin, a different face, a different nose?

Would I be changed if i was very, very tall?

Would it have been better if I had never been born at all?

I WATCH YOU WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPING...

BETH COLEMAN

I watch you while your sleeping

Sit quietly on your bed

I whisper that I Love you

Kiss you softly on your head.

As I sit there watching you

My heart is radiant with love

I take the time to say a prayer

Of thanks to God above.

For I received the special gift

Of love that feels divine

Each time I take a look at you

I still can't believe your mine.

I promise I shall always stand

Forever by your side

For you have made my life complete

You make me shine with pride.

Fixing the mountain

by n.estick

We'll ride it to the top

you in your navy shirt, legs your beautiful natural color

i'll have a T, sneakers and maybe some shorts

We'll stroll the country side

you taking in the morning air

i'll be watching you till the days are done

We'll sleep tonight

you in your beauty, me in amazement

in the morning we'll fix the mountain

~*Why do you keep me apart*~
MiZoo

Beautiful beautiful...that's how you are

shining & shining.....just like a star

your style, face and smiles....and every thing appeals

but your away so many miles...then how can my heart deals?!

every word you said seemed true

you say and say but never do

i always tried to be close but u never tried to

i pay you much care

it may be not so clear but believe me it's always there

then why?

why do you keep me apart??

all i want is to play in your life a part

when i don't cause you to be happy

even if your belief is right, you are to blame

cause you followed the bright light

without thinking what's hidden in the night

but I'm so different so release your heart

him love and have the true startand let

Love

Alejandro Medina III

Love is something hard to find,

when it's there it never last,

Your heart shatters just like glass,

for every day you're heart will fall,

not knowing what to do at all,

It hurts inside to know she's gone,

For you'll never end the pain,

Tears will run like thundering rain,

and every day you'll fell the same,

With a broken heart you'll fall apart,

For love will always be something hard to find,

Lost through out the ends of time.

BROKEN BEAMS

Alex McCauley

you are,

like the sun

peeping malicious denial.

such things should be kind,

not voyeurism on my state of mind.

wind me,

in your whim.

my head is cotton wool,

Full,

with you.

Blind in a spotlight.

I wish

Cristina Ruela

I wish I lived centuries ago

I wish I lived in a warm loving home

I wish that life would be simple

I wish that a ripple would look

Like your smile and your cute dimple

I wish that hate would disappear

I wish that love would reappear

I wish that death would end

I wish that money could not spend

I wish that all these wishes came true

I wish that all these wishes could bring me back to you

LIE TO ME..

Jen~~ copywrite jen~~@2003

You said that you would love me forever

hold me, cherish me, hold me dear

You said we would be together, loving

and laughing, inseparable through our golden years.

Lie to me again darlin, make me feel loved inside

Look in my eyes and smile that smile that makes me melt

Hold me tight and close, tell me what my heart desires.

Now the seasons have passed and its raining at my house

My tears mix with the rain and I will love you forever

Even though we are apart and you say you love another

Baby I'd give my life if just one more time you would,

Lie to me again darlin, make me feel loved inside

Look in my eyes and smile that smile that makes me melt

Hold me tight and close, tell me what my heart desires.

I gave my heart to you so long ago, I had no other to give

You took my heart, you took my soul, on that spring day long ago.

So I sit alone watching the sunset on this God given beautiful day.

Rocking myself like a child, so cold, and wishing once again for you to.

Lie to me again darlin, make me feel loved inside

Hold me tight and close, tell me what my heart desires.

The one who cares

By Robin

your the one who cares

the one who shares

the one I can talk to when I am sad

the one who is always there when i need to cry

the one who makes me laugh, the one who makes me smile

your the only one who truly knows how I feel

you are god the one who makes me stronger and stronger each day

the one who can make me over come anything

you are the one who cares

=0=

Alone With A Thought

P. Polcari

Alone I sit with a thought in my mind,

of the one whom my heart forgets not.

The one who always reveals most the time,

that together our bodies too hot.

A stare for one sends the other a note,

sparking their soul's dance to start.

His soft lips eager to fall on her throat,

feels the rapid increase of her heart.

No doubt will he know as deep as the bone,

when he touches her skin any place.

Her message is clear by simplest tone,

matched by the glowing eyes on her face.

Their power shoulders the burden of life,

like the fruit on a blossoming tree,

This commitment between husband and wife,

will be made with you down on one knee.

This is the place and now is the time,

to forget the path of "alone".

I will be yours and you will be mine,

for forever each other a home.

ACCEPTING ME

Janell Joseph

I met this girl with a quite different

personality

she tried to be my friend

but she's not someone I would really

care to see

not that I don't like her

cause I wouldn't be mean like that

I guess I could give her a chance

just to find out her stats

maybe if I get to know her

I'll like her

maybe we'll be friends

but I'm not so sure

I wonder why she's so different

and not like the people

I regularly see

maybe because this girl

is really me

will I accept her?

The broken girl waltz

by Lara Richards

She bled onto the bedsheet.

she had no idea,

she wasn't aware,

no one had seen but her.

She cried into the bathtub last night.

bathed in the saltwater.

She had no idea,

you were filling it with her.

She cried in your arms.

She made a warm wet spot.

She was so loud

your sobs fell on deaf ears.

She cried in her alone,

wishing it was you

she knew you were gone.

She was broken and there's no way to fix a girl.

Twenty to Eleven
StratBoogie

It is twenty to eleven and the night is perfect.

It is a clear night, each bright star is happy.

They see I am here, somewhere else, for someone.

It is a cool night, perfect for walking or waiting.

The damp grass welcomes my tired feet so I might rest a while.

It knows I think absent thoughts.

It is a still night, there are noiseless fireflies and moths here and there.

They watch my invisible form, alone.

It is ten to eleven.

Where is the moon?

Has it gone over the horizon to find you?

To envy your smile?

To hear your musical voice?

To see the way you rest your cheek in your hand?

He has gone.

It is eleven.

It is a lonely night.

=0=

SILENTLY SHE SITS

Erin Paulsen

Silently she sits

Counting the stars

That fill her eyes

Waiting patiently

For his return

A small unknown star

Shines brightly

In her memory

Of the night

He quietly left

Her eyes no longer

Shed the tears

Her heart no longer

Aches in quiet pain

Silently she sits
