Here's a couple of poems to wet your appetite!! Because of a friend's urging (you know who you are) I decided that more people need to be introduced to my poetry, not because I'm self-loathing but because I would like each of you to respond to the poem and tell me how it speaks to you. Have fun.
Angels & Prayers
I keep reaching for the stars
Yet I wind up coming up short each time
It’s not something I can control
I have given myself to God
And am ready to accept the fate he has bestowed
I feel the strength inside of me to want to make the leap
It’s just that I’m not sure I can float on high
I have transgressed in more ways than one
Yet my own two feet are firmly planted
Movement is not an option
Heaven or hell is beneath either door
The only question is which one do I deserve
Have I been the best person I can be?
I answer that question without thinking
And believe that the best is yet to come
I haven’t realized my destiny yet but soon I shall be redeemed
I give myself to you
Unto all eternity may my spirit live on
Reaching the stars is something I can now do
And the first poem I ever wrote:
Waves and Crashes
Life goes on with a series of waves and crashes
Like the ocean far off in the distance
Seeking more than can be found
In a vacuum of space that cannot be quantified
Finding a path that leads to nowhere
Where nothing stands in my way
And all roads lead to the promise land.
Discovering my inner self is a constant struggle
With no wind at my back and no courage to stand up—
For my beliefs and my troubles—
But the waves and crashes
Still enter my mind and leave an impression behind.
