YOU


I glance across the room
Our eyes meet 
I feel something 
Something I’ve never felt before

My heart is racing like I just ran a marathon
I can’t tear my eyes from yours
Your baby blue eyes pull me in
Encasing me warm wonder
A smile is playing upon your lips
Your trying to hide it 

I feel the blood rising to my cheeks
My friend elbows me from behind
Then you flash a full smile
Your smile puts movie stars to shame
We stare at each other for I don’t know how long
You finally divert your eyes from mine
Did you notice??

As I walk away 
I can feel the stares of others
People snicker
But no one can take my eyes off you
Your light hearted chuckle
The twinkle in your eyes
The dimples that appear when you smile
Your relaxed, gentle demeanor
The way you tousle your hair when you are flustered

Everytime I think of you 
My heart jumps
Everytime I see you
I’m tounge tied
Butterflies overtake my stomach
I giggle
Everyday I look forward
To seeing you.

  • Awaiting An Invitation

    Tree limbs dance in
    the breeze of baited breath,
    roots threaten to break ground zero.
    time;
    too much
    too little
    only the trees understand 
    me

    glass stregthens
    mirrors melt
    clouds converge and darkness reigns

    Sentenced

    I am guilty

    The bars which restrain me
    are but my own fault

    I am guilty

    The lifeless walls
    frozen, unfeeling
    yield no give as I fight to break free

    My crimes:
    To want,
    the stars

    Only A Memory

    The wind
    brushes my cheek, with a kiss. 
    Neck craned, my eyes
    skim the sky in bliss

    The scene before me,
    a canvas to interpret,
    I stare, deep within the soul of each star
    this game I refuse to forfeit.
