When We Listen

I wrestled with the wind After awhile  I knew I had lost. The ocean was of no help at all It too only pushed me around. Nothing left in the palm of my hand Another fight lost I yelled at the clouds But they only laughed and ran away I screamed at the sun It fried me! I tried to move a mountain It wouldn't fight back I kicked at the rocks They stumbled away They too didn't want to stay. As night wrapped around me and stole my fight I gave into its selfish plight. "Tomorrow will be better," it said You can't be angry any more You no longer even know What you are fighting for. I allowed the breeze to take my revenge The stars then danced for me "Everything isn't what it seems" I let these words settle in As I laid my head against the stone The wind came back to cool me The oceans mid-night roar, soothed me They were right There are reasons to stay and fight And there are reasons

I love the kiss The deep sensual feel of someone so close The way it makes all thoughts go How the skin feels hot How the heart beats as if to explode I love the kiss The way the tongues dance together The hands explore I love the way a kiss makes everything so much more. Close your eyes and see Just how amazing a kiss can be Everything you need to know Can be explained by the kiss. How much I've missed you I will show you How much I need you You will feel How much I love to be with you It's all shown With the touch of my lips and the tip of my tongue. So many feel it's just a kiss but when it's as emotional as this It can move you to tears or make you smile It can last for a very long while Don't ignore the power of one's lips Don't forget the strength of a kiss If you want to know how I feel Plant your lips on mine and if the walls disappear and we float together Believe me wh

Once there was a little girl who only wanted to be loved! She looked in all the wrong places just for a hug. She was told she had to give more if she wanted to be seen. She was told she had to be more if she wanted her dream. She gave, they took... she waited to see. Not enough was all it ever seemed to be. So, she gathered her things and turned away, to start a love in a different way. She found her strength, she found her voice. She lived a life of her own choice. She knows if she could choose who she would choose to be. The choice to choose would be... "Me!"

Do you know me? I hide within the shadows I run behind the wind I blend in with the trees Leaves stumble around me with ease. Do you see me? I pass you every day I walk in your shoes I glide behind you as you move I watch you move about your day I wonder what it's like to be you Do you hear me? I reach for you, but I can never get close enough I scream for you, but my words float above you, and are carried away I wonder why you can't hear me I wonder why you wont see me But, I will wait until you do For, I am that power you are searching for I am what you are always hoping to find, but choose to ignore. I am what you have spent your lifetime looking for Once you believe in you, then you will see me Once you find you...you will hear me. Once you know; you can do anything You will have set me free I am that power within you I'm just waiting for you to believe !!

I am a survivor of things no one wants to talk about.   I am a statistic of too many numbers to count. I am a fighter. I am a believer that all things are possible. I have hurt deeper than I thought possible. I have looked up at the world,  I have stood next to the sun, and I have cried tears like rain. I have hidden from life.  I have asked "why" more times than I care to admit. I have spoken my truths and fought for my beliefs.  I have lost, but in losing, I have won. I am human.  I am imperfect  I am as weak as I am strong. I am no longer silent. I am no longer hiding. I am looking for what everyone is looking for...to be seen!
