Poems And Quotes

Your beauty intoxicates all you encounter,
Yet you fail to notice,
This is your blunder,
You’ve had a rough time,
Though now it is over,
But yet you continue clinging to what is left over,
And in doing this your depression grows deeper,
Pulling you apart at the seams,
Causing you to unravel and fall to you knees,
Pondering desperately: "How much worse can it be? "
To ease your mind of your terrible burden,
You bargain with Satan (as if he cares),
Giving you a release, in turn for your soul:
That you believe tarnished and not worth much at all,
When all of your friends have been with you till now,
But here comes the crossroads up ahead,
They give you a choice: "Stand tall or fall down."
You have your beauty and charm,
Your intelligence and grace,
Good friends and your health,
What more does it take for you?

Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl
It feeds on loneliness and creates a void
Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture
A teenager is stricken and destroyed
There is no sound of laughter or happiness here
The little one has thrown in the towel today
Somber, melancholy moods decay the soul
It is futile to hope and dream and pray
Emptiness builds a home in this woman
In this girl, this child where hollows have bred
A deepening sea of nowhereness consumes
And eats away at every connecting thread
Confusion feeds like a savage inside her,
Leaving nothing considered worthy remains
Destined to walk through life less ordinary
Alone, exiled, different and disdained.

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

I am unique, just me
No other is the same
You will find I am me
And only me, myself
The one and only me
The one and only me
Is here before your eyes
Singing my own sweet song
Not a second hand tune
Taken from someone else

My old cat is dead,
Who would butt me with his head.
He had the sleekest fur.
He had the loudest purr.
Always gentle with us,
Was this black puss,
But when I found him today
Stiff and cold where he lay,
His look was a lion’s,
Full of rage and defiance;
Oh, he would not pretend
That what came was a friend
But met it in pure hate.
Well died, my old cat.

If I have honored
your need for freedom
Above your need for care,
I can only hope
your wild cat soul
Will feel I have been fair.

How to find and
keep the balance
No human can fully know;
But I pray you realize
how fiercely I tried,
And why I let you go.

Silver-gray softness,
you bound into my lap,
mittened paws kneading.
An aging motor hums,
and I think of you
curled around
a blonde girl’s shoulders
as she skated
down the driveway
when both of you
were kittens.

In 1983
On the day of changes, a child was born
This child did not see the world in a same spectrum as you or me
Fourteen years had passed before his views and notions would be negated
His eyes and heart torn from his soul in his time of need
His only hope to go on was his little sister
Who had died seven years before
His eyes swelled shut from the world around him
His life then taken from a bloody blade
His mind at peace with his thoughts
His hope had died with the angels

Courage is the strength to stand up
When it’s easier to fall down and lose hold.

It is the conviction to explore new horizons
When it’s easier to believe what we’ve been told.

Courage is the desire to maintain our integrity
When it’s easier to look the other way.

It is feeling happy and alive, and moving forward
When it’s easier to feel sorry for ourselves and stay.

Courage is the will to shape our world
When it’s easier to let someone else do it for us.

It is the recognition that none of us are perfect
When it’s easier to criticize others and fuss.

Courage is the power to step forward and lead
When it’s easier to follow the crowd; their pleas resound.

It is the spirit that places you on top of the mountain
When it’s easier to never leave the ground.

The foundation of courage is solid,
The rock that doesn’t roll.

Courage is the freedom
Of our mind, body, and soul!

My moggies are more than pets,
they are my children too.
They’re guaranteed to cheer me up
whenever I am blue.

Moomin is a tubby one,
she loves to roll and play,
she eats catnip by the barrelful,
and then she rolls all day!

Minstrel is the sensible one,
always in control,
but always by her sisters side,
to play fight or roll!

My two mogs are inseperable,
they’re the best cats in the land,
if you have mogs as great as mine
I’m sure you’ll understand!

My mogs will always share my loving home,
for years and years to come,
they’ll never know fear or pain,
they’re my little furry chums
