Verdad

Love means saying no

Turning away

So the tears don’t show

Walking away

With your head held high

Heart breaking

Knowing it’s for the best

Not for you

But for your beloved

For without you

They will soar to new heights

With you

All they will have

Is you

And you are not enough

For anyone

Decision

Decision

So warm and comforting

Your hand on my cheek

Just a little thing

To show how you care

How you hold my hair back

While I worship the porcelain god

When you bring me weak tea

And dry toast

There’s still love in your eyes

How long before you resent me?

Before you regret

The choice you have made?

I love you enough

To tell you to go

But I’m selfish enough

To ask you to stay

It’s your

Decision

Divinity

Divinity

Dancing along the head of a pin
Crowded out, pushed way too thin
Too many people, still not enough
Arguing for sanity is dangerous stuff
Trolling for power the rush to be beat
Rivals will mark you, steal a hasty retreat
Never forget Paris, The bouillonnant vibe
Feel what it’s like to be truly alive
Tomorrow will come without much applause
Making it easy to dessert the cause
Listen for footsteps, the tiniest patter
The simplest way to make sure you matter
It’s easy to forget childhood goals
When glory and fame make life seem whole
Time hasn’t finished, there’s a new story arc
Now is the moment; We must leave our mark
Take what is offered, a well deserved prize
You know what is needed, where divinity lies

An Answer to New York by Snow Patrol

First, If you haven't heard the song "New York" by Snow Patrol, Go NOW!  First it's a great song.  Second I wrote this poem about what the girl the song is written to feel when the boyfriend is home.
Here is a link for the song.

Is it Ever Enough?

The time we have together is precious

Way too much to waste

But what can you do when you only have minutes

When time together could be snatched away in an instant

When you only get brief glances

The future of husband and wife

We want to tell each other,

Of our secrets and our sins

If but one second is wasted,

That pressure is multiplied

To a thousand hours yet to be.

The stars lose their place in the heavenly orb

Without the Solar wind to guide them, to get them home.

So the time has come to conclude the telling of this tale

It is the moment to start a new fiction.
