I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when my life seems to be dry
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when I question why
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when I lost the courage to try something new
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when I need encouragement then I get it from you
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
to ease some anxiety
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
let my emotions swell
I take to take a dip in the poetry well
while holding paper and a pen
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
where inspiration never ends
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
where I can gather with my friends
This is for All My Hello Poetry Friends!!!!
Thank You so much for your friendship and encouragement!!!

Kisses in the Dark

think I'll take a song I'd like to sing
and shower you with the love it brings
I think I'll take a dance step that you know
and turn it into happiness that shows
You know I'd turn a rainy day to blue
If this is what I'd have to do for you
I'd build a mighty castle in the snow
If I thought it would make our own love grow
Your world isn't my world, but you know
My world is for you, I want it so
You just stand there small and powerful
I just fall and tell you all I know
Kisses in the dark they do not tell
Everything there is let's ring the bells
Now I can do everything I've told
Because I love you more today I'm sold
Kisses in the dark they do not tell
Everything there is let's ring the bells

I'm the white crayon
The third wheel
The odd ball out
I'm the one who has to walk behind when the side walk gets to thin
And I'm the least important friend

People say ,"You scared the hell out of me".
I think, There is a Hell inside of all of us.
Either we want to get out
Or we haven't got in yet.
Hell inside of us are the voices that tell us negative thoughts.
That are screaming at us to do things.
Are the disturbing thoughts that float around our mind.
We have Hell Inside Of Us.

When a pen's point touches paper,
The ink spreads out,
The page bends around your words,
As you mark the page forever.
With computers, every word is written,
Removed,
And rewritten.
With a tap you can delete
Your words,
Your mistakes,
Your regrets,
Everything.
But you can never take back ink.
The drop can never go back into the pen.
The paper will never again be white
Or perfectly smooth again.
You can't delete pen.
ironically, i must have rewritten and deleted half of these words half a dozen times before posting this. go figure.

How can I tell you not to talk?
I'm gonna show you.

And when you see me, on the silver screen;
Or when you hear me, over the radio waves;
You're gonna melt.

And when you evaporate,
And you take your new form in the air;
I'm gonna let you rain on me.

Cuz we're in this together.
And I won't have you walking around like that.
I would rather you be swallowed up
And made a small part of everything that's wonderful.

Save your voice for singing.

My love became a full stop
In the twisting of my days
An isolating anchor
That dragged me to the deep
This pain became a reason
I put my heart to sleep
Burn the spoken words
We shared
No one heard them anyway
Company is agony
That's why I walk away.
