Friends of Then
Old photographs
of times nearly erased
captured laughter and quaint smiles
clueless to the life they will face.
A friendship bound together
yet living lives on their own
one that could have lasted
if only one could have picked up a phone.
Now they are simply too busy
to stop or even say "hi"
become mere strangers
to each other when the pass by.
Each of them will remember
a friendship that could not withstand such a bend
no regrets, it's still over
a friendship that has found its' end.

THE GREATEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE IS ~ LAUGHTER!!

== Laziness is a chosen act, not an inherent trait. Opportunities come with hard work and dedication, not served on a silver platter. So don't speak to me of how hard it is if you've never tried. I have no understanding of those who have never had to work for the life they have been blessed with. I show no compassion for the irresponsible, and unmotivated. One can not be helped if they are not willing to help themselves first.==

-My One Wish-
I wish upon a rainbow,
On every single hue,
And pray with my entire soul,
That my one wish comes true.
I wish upon its' colors,
That shine so bright,
That amongest all others,
one day we just might
find one another.

To Remember
A smile to remember
all those memories.
A song to remember
the calming of the seas.
A flower to remember
such elegance and grace.
A picture to remember
a fine young face.
A poem to remember
the memory that will not stray.
and A grave to remember
those who have passed away.

Again if you could please sign my guestbook and give me your opinions. Be brutelly honest. I can take it.
For now the link is on page 1. Thanks again for visiting my web page. Come back soon for updates and additions.

Untitled
My soul is searching.
It's my eternal quest.
I'm only living my life,
but my heart will not rest.
So why does it feel as though...
I'm living this dream.
I yearn for the scene of my tomorrow
as I look to the sky
and upon the splendor of the restless sea.
To lay myself to sleep I feel no sorrow.
These are the pursuits I cherish most.
Striving to shield no dreams inside.

I send a shout out to all of my family and friends. Nothing but Love for all of ya. Take care and keep in touch.

Music:
"When Doves Cry" - Prince

__That is the Qustion__
What do I want?
The answer is easy enough.
Quite simple.
Yet so tough.
Words seem so meaningless
difficult to write.
And even harder to experss.

Look to the Sky
Standing under the bright full moon
on a night with its end nearing soon.
Look upon the twinkling stars.
Squint a little further, there is mars.
Embrace the darkness, with all its might.
The sun will rise soon and bring forth the light.
Gaze upon a shooting star, and a rainbow hue.
Makes all your sincerest wishes come true.
These powers locked within your soul.
Deep inside where your lifes control.
To deserve all it may give.
Here's your life, now go out and live.

~~The absolute find...~~
Looking for my "Partner in Crime." Someone to share the little things that make us laugh, cry, and most importantly SMILE. The one that will give me butterflies when I hear his voice, or the mere mention of his name in certain circles. Someone who can make me laugh until I cry, cry until I laugh and everything in between. Tickle me until I scream in horror, hold my hair back when i'm sick and comfort me at my lowest point. A shoulder to cry on and a smile to laugh with. We should be able to communicate a common path together. One on which we both eventually reach our destinations with the other by our side in support. A compromise that creates minimal sacrafice on either part and offers us a few minor challanges to keep us grounded. I don't want just anyone to hold me though. To experience that moment in which we can sit in complete silence, totally comfortable with each others' presence. No need to speak because we know what the other is thinking from a brush of the hand or glimpse of the eye. That very moment I can look into his eyes, see the heavens open, and think to myself: "Oh my GOD, he's the one." To let my guard down eternaly, to bear my soul without remorse. Swallow my pride, this is somthing I just can't hide. My heart's racing, breath is shallow, weak in the knees, i'm scared to death but overflowing with excitement. To initially start out as friends and eventually grow old together. Take it slow, the little things are lost in the rush.

Fated Times
Sometimes in our lives, things don't turn out right
and we are on the verge of surrendering to the fight.
A venture that isn't always the best,
we wonder why we can't have lives like the rest.
Why do certain things have to be so difficult,
they just happen for no rhyme, reason, or fault.
Just when we think our dreams won't come too late,
in comes yet another bad dose of reality called fate.
But through all of this suffering, we must always know
without it we could never fully grow.
Life will eventually return to its normal vin.
Feel content to know we can persue our dreams once again.
Although along the path it may not seem much fun.
Believe in the end, its the future that will be won.

~SMILE~
I'm gonna smile.
It's contagious.
Never goes out of style.
Be courageous.
Pass it on gracefully.
Don't let me down.
Set your heart free.
Show the whole town.
So flash your smile.
Wear your heart on your sleeve.
Let loose for awhile.
I want you to believe,
Your smile makes
my heart skip a beat.

My mind and heart are dancing in circles. Beating to different drums. To follow my heart as it speaks. It guides me in one directin, and my mind shields it. If only to convince my mind to allow my heart to lead.

~~Afraid to Fall~~
I've got alot of things on my mind
as I lay here sorting through them all.
But the one thing that occupies that space,
is the thought of the one I will never find.
However that is the eternal problem.
Perhaps I have already found the one.
My saving grace, my budding stem,
and i'm just blind to your smiling face.
There is just something in the wake of your smile.
I am all too afraid to let my heart fall,
to free all my passions and desires.
For my biggest fear is you will not be there to catch me.
I wish you knew just how it is.
Wish I had the courage and strength to tell you.
I don't know why I feel this way.
Nothing is what it seems.
So much to say, but can't find the words to express.
I strive to follow whatever my heart deams.

When it is your time to leave, you might look back on your life and regret the things you did or did not do. But what you will regret the most are the things you gave up on. Live life to it's fullest. Live free, live long, live like your dying.You never know when it will be your time to part from this world and all those you have grown to love and cherish.
