My Words, My Soul

When I write poetry, I don't think about what I'm writing. I put my pen to the paper, and words form on their own. I don't go back and read what I wrote until sometimes weeks later, so what it says is a mystery to me. Feel free to comment, but please don't criticize, because my poems are a reflection of who I am. Enjoy.

Eye of a Hurricane

The clock ticks on
But it feels as though time has stopped
How can I possibly believe
When people say that everything will be okay
That this time it really will?
I’m trying to be strong
Trying, trying for you
But I don’t know where you are,
And I feel so alone
It’s like the world has stopped spinning,
All motion has ceased.
Suspended in time, I see the world moving around me,
But I cannot grasp it.
Everything I know stares back at me,
Their familiarity spun into a whirlwind of colours,
Shapeless,
Intangible.
I hear nothing but my own heartbeat,
Whose hollow beat hurts my ears.
A deafening, unrelenting reminder
Of the fragility of life.
I feel nothing but the pang in my heart.
Worry,
Guilt,
Fear.
As the confusion around me spins faster and faster,
I remain floating in nothingness,
Not seeing,
Not hearing,
Not feeling,
Just unaware,
Lost in the eye of a hurricane.

This is my Goodbye

Well I suppose it’s that time again
I need a change of scenery
Something new
Something different

It’s time to move on
Bigger, better
It won’t be the same
Newer, stranger
No, it won’t be the same

I’ve taken a step back
Thought about it hard
What I could do
Where I could be

It’s time to move on
Bigger, better
It won’t be the same
Newer, stranger
No, it won’t be the same

I hate to leave
But I need a change
I don’t want to stay
It’s hard to go, but

It’s time to move on
Bigger, better
It won’t be the same
Newer, stranger
No, it won’t be the same

I’ll start a new journey
Venture into the unknown
I’m kind of scared
I’m more excited

It’s time to move on
Bigger, better
It won’t be the same
Newer, stranger
No, it won’t be the same

Well I guess this is it
There’s no more I can say or do
This is my Goodbye

Goodbye to most everything I once knew
Goodbye to the people who helped me through
Goodbye to that which I did one time love

This is my Goodbye
I will not turn back
I’ve made my choice, I’ll now be on my way

This is my Goodbye
I’m leaving now
But I know that we’ll cross paths sometime again

This is my Goodbye
Please don’t be sad
It’s time to do what I know is best for me

This is my Goodbye
My final wave
And now I’ll turn, and I will not look back

This is my Goodbye
My final Goodbye
My final
Goodbye

Si...

Si je ne disais que la vérité,
Me croirais-tu?
Si je ne me cachais plus,
M’accepterais-tu?
Si je partageais un secret,
Le garderais-tu?
Si je te téléphonais en pleine nuit,
Te fâcherais-tu?
Se je pleurais devant toi,
M’étreindrais-tu?
Si je faisais une faute,
Me pardonnerais-tu?
Si je criais ton nom,
Viendrais-tu?
Si je t’offrais une fleur,
Le prendrais-tu?
Si je disparais,
T’enquêterais-tu?
Si je dormais,
Me protégerais-tu?
Si je mourais,
Pleurerais-tu?
Si tu me connaissais,
M’aimerais-tu?
Si je te disais mes pensées,
Me moquerais-tu?
Si je te parlais de mes rêves,
Rirais-tu?
Si je faisais quelque chose pour moi-même,
Me supporterais-tu?
Si je réussis,
Serais-tu fier?

Your Smile

And when you smile
Everything else melts away
Disappears from sight
From thought
Suddenly nothing else matters
Yesterday’s troubles forgotten
Drift away in time
Simplicity creates peace
Freedom brings joy
The look in your eyes says everything
All the words that can never be spoken
Your eyes
They smile the true smile
Your lips could smile anytime
If your eyes are empty
It means nothing
But you, when you smile
It’s in your eyes
A beautiful shimmer
A brilliant spark of life that lights up the world
When I see the smile in your eyes
My heart skips a beat
Warm tingles run through my body
And I blink my eyes
Because it seems almost too good to be true
Almost

Far Away

She stood by the window and gazed outside
Deep in thought
She looked West, where, thousands of kilometers away
He anxiously awaited her return
Her body was here, but her mind was with him
The one who matters most
The distance between them hurt
Like her soul was being torn apart
All she wanted was to be with him
To hold his hand
To hear his voice
To see his smile
Without him she felt so weak
So alone
A tear glistened in her eye
She remembered their last moments together
She could still feel his soft hair against her cheek
And she remembered the look in his eyes when she left him...
The hardest thing she'd had to do in a long time
SHe'd had the same look in her own eyes
A look of sadness
Of loss
Of love
It hurt her to leave him
The comfort of his embrace
The safety of his presence
And it hurt him to see her slowly turn and walk away...

Never

When times get tough
And I feel like giving up
I think of you
And I lift my head and carry on

When nothing seems right
The world is out to get me
I run to you
I hear your voice and I remember:

Never have I felt this way
Never will this every change
Never will I give up while you're here
Never will my fears subside, but
Never will I abide
Never will I stop thinking of you

You mean everything to me
Words cannot possibly say
You've changed my life
Black and white to beautiful colours

When I'm in your arms
Nothing's ever felt so right
You kiss me and
All my fears are quickly washed away

Never have I felt this way
Never will this every change
Never will I give up while you're here
Never will my fears subside, but
Never will I abide
Never will I stop thinking of you

Everything you've ever said
Every time you've held my hand
You can't imagine just how much it means

Never have I felt so strong
Never wanted to go on
Never could I thank you just enough
Never will I never cry, but
Never will a day go by where I
Never smile a genuine smile

Never have I felt this way
Never will this every change
Never will I give up while you're here
Never will my fears subside, but
Never will I abide
Never will I stop thinking of you

Help?

I’m so confused
I don’t know which way is up
Someone please come
And point me in the right direction
Take my hand
Gently guide me
Don’t carry me
Just give me support
Kind words
A loving smile
That’s all it takes
To make a world of difference
I’m lost and alone
And secretly afraid
This world scares me
I don’t know how to deal with it
All by myself
But with your guidance
Your warm touch
Your love
I know I can make it
So please
Just be there
I need you
I love you
From the bottom of my heart
Please don’t be afraid
I won’t hurt you
I’m here for you
Can you be here for me?
Together we can make it
I promise
So…please?
