False Reflections

If I searched your heart 

maybe I'd see Jesus 
hanging up for you 
and Rising up for you. 
I wish to see 
love for me 
and you and I 
hand in hand. 
I hope to see me 
reflected back 
as something better 
than I truly am.
c. 1999

Note: This was written for an exboyfriend of mine who was very religious. I felt that there was a rift between us that was pointless because he didn't know the love I had in my heart for Christ. However, he is now married to a beautiful woman and they have a baby who embodies the best in the both of them. Truly, I love to see happy endings. They are living theirs and I will patiently await for mine to start.

Oldies But Goodies... Maybe.

Over the next few days I'll be posting some of my old poetry. When I say old, I mean old. It's all over ten years old and it shows. When I found them again recently and was reading over them, I was slightly chagrined at the naivete involved. However, as the years pass we all learn new things and improve upon our skills. I hope my new stuff shows progress and is better developed. I have a clear style when it comes to my poetry and it's easy to distinguish.

During this trip down memory lane, I hope you enjoy the words and emotions expressed. I also hope you express some words and emotions with me. Nothing makes me happier than feedback, but do please keep it appropriate.

Catch you on the flipside....
