Poem: I Stand There Wondering

I stand there surrounded by darkness

And wonder if I’m making a mistake

But it’s not like I have a choice

There’s nowhere else for me to go

So I must remain where I am

And hope that things will get better

Yet hoping is simply not enough

I have stand strong and confident

I have to take action and fight

To make things better in my life

So I don’t have to stand there

Surrounded by darkness

With tears streaming down my face

Wondering if I’m making a mistake

Poem: We Become One

Our bodies fit perfectly into each other

Making melodies beneath the starry skies

As our flaming hearts beat as one

In tune with the rhythm of the endless sea

Our burning passion shoots us up into space

In the direction of undiscovered galaxies

Where the hands of the clock are at a standstill

And piece by piece you and I finally become one

Poem: Two Lovers

Two lovers meet in their secret garden

And among lush bouquets

Surrounded by the beauty of nature

Soul to soul, heart to heart

They make unforgettable memories

That forever remain within them

Even after their date comes to an end

Poem: Memories of Dinner at Grandmother’s House

Though my grandmother has long passed

The memories of my time at her home very much alive

Her apartment filled with the aroma of fried potatoes

And chicken patties frying on the stove

The table set with gold embroidered plates

And filled with my other favorite treats

I am tempted to pick up the phone

And invite myself over for dinner

Only to realize that she is no longer here

My stomach begins to growl

And I make my way to the kitchen

Ready to recreate the dinner in my own home

Poem: Thoughts of the Future

As the bus speeds down the highway

Its destination yet unknown

The soon-to-be wedding of my dreams

That I’ve always fantasized about

But never thought would be real

Starts playing out in my mind

And I wonder if this is a sign

That my once uncertain future

Will be the beginning of a better life

Where my unrealized dreams

Will morph into actual achievements

And I finally become the star

That I am destined to be

Poem: There Are No Boundaries

When inspiration strikes

Your voice will guide you

To be one of the dreamers

One of the fighters

One of the leaders

When passion and creativity

Exist within your heart and mind

There are no boundaries

To what you can achieve

There is no limit

To how high you can soar

Poem: Alone in an Empty House

She finds herself alone in an empty house

As darkness settles in outside

She is no longer a child

Yet every noise she hears in the silent night

Fills her with anxiety and fear

Unable to fall asleep

She tightly hugs her plush dog and cries

Trying not to let screams escape her

There is no ghost or monster to be found

But there might as well be

Because she doesn’t feel safe inside these walls

And worries that her story

May not have a happy ending
