Today

Finally, today was the day...
Just listen to every word I have to say...
Your the reason why I'm smiling at the start of the day...
Just seeing you read this poem takes my breath away...
Every time your in pain, I wanna be there for you...
I wanna fight away all your tears...
and replace them with happiness
and take away all ur fears...
Your heart beat is racing and you don't know why...
but all I have to tell you is that
I'll love you till I die...
Just follow me and my lead...
I wouldn't trade you for the world,
your all that I need...
The day we met, I can't explain the way I felt....
Feeling all these emotions that I can't even help...
Every little thing we do is so special to me....
We are meant to be and thats what I want you to see...
Look into your future and don't think of your past...
Just stick with me and know that we will last...
I wanna give you all my love and heart...
Would you give me chance and a brand new start???
and I promise to treat you exactly like the first day...
and I promise that I'll never go away....
Elizabeth I really do love you....
if I didn't I would have never cried for you....

- Michael

You did

You did this to me
But that view is one you don't see
You are blind to what has become
With each hit, you feel more numb

I take it on for both of us
With this cold I loose trust
You have done to me whats been done to you
It is all your fault, you caused this shade of blue

I will hate you, I promise that
That is the pain we end at
My thoughts of you will end
My heart will begin to mend

I thought I knew you
I thought you were true
But now I know they were right
This is a battle I shouldn't fight

I see myself down the road
Far away from this pain and cold
I live in sunshine and happiness
Its there I find forgiveness

Go on to those you wanted more
There will come a time when you hit the floor
But I won't be there
I won't care

It is you who is alone
You have no place to call home
I took my heart back
Because of everything you seem to lack.

Three Mothers

That day, two people died.
No she was alone in the car.
(Thank God for that, some said)
But a tiny life vaporized
Far, far away.
Sniffles, tears, mourns, sighs,
Man in the hall
Baby in the bedroom.
The maid rocks and strokes,
The baby knows better.
“Oh, she’s dead! The love of my life!
Twenty years I have loved her! Twenty!”

A week later, she moved in.
Prettier than the first, the baby thought.
Reds, pinks, oranges flutter about
A touch of lipstick, a dab of rouge
We have a party to attend, after all,
(There’s always a party)
And you’re not invited!
Wails go unheeded
Feminine tantrums pampered.
Diapers everywhere
What’s the maid for, after all?
All alone at night?
You know I’m scared of the dark.
What happened to the occasional cuddles?
The tickles, the giggles, the tucking in?
A separate room?
Privacy?
(What’s that?)
Whims are adored,
Milk bottles ignored
(It was only an inch away)
The maid’s here overtime
At least she smiles
I thought he liked me…
I could be wrong.
He seems happier
But I miss the first smiles,
The first park totters
The first family videos-the laughs, the love
I want to be a part,
The toys are cute,
They’re still not you.

Arguments erupt,
Fights pick up,
He screams, she screams,
There’s banging and clanging.
There’s more fluttering-scarves, skirts, photo-frames,
A swish of black, a begging follower
The door slams
Cries, screams, pleadings
(No! No! Don’t go!)

He bursts in
(It’s nice to see him again)
It’s all because of you!
You won’t stop crying, wailing.
Why don’t you shut up?
See what you’ve done!
Now another’s gone.
Guilty hugs, fake apologies ensue,
Reminiscences of old.
(Where were you all this time?)

The maid was early
(The baby glad)
But she stood perplexed in the hall
Don’t leave me, too!
She blushes and tugs at her plait
Man smiles
(Relieved)
She trots into my room
And my six month old hazels
Beheld my third mother.

New Life

unexpectedly
without warning
a world
I'm no longer winning

It rains
It stops
then you smile

one fine day
in my sweetest
morning delight
sleepless even
at night

without a fight,
you conquered me
where dreams
seem so right

you give life
and add colors
in my dying sight
I feel the adrenalin
in my veins
my heart goes faster
as you appear
you let time
pause and disappear

your lovely face
at first sight
lasts forever

your passion
captured me by heart
the day you smiled
making life worth
to survive

oh dear God,
let me have you
as I grow old
through this life
my loveliest sight
who gives light

don't ever go,
let your light
shine the path
of my long lost life

for I will be
the knight
who try to fight
and love you
with all his might

for I will offer you
my life, my heart
just to have you
at this side
to be my precious
and only life

dear God, let
my one and only
heavenly light
who shines, give hopes
in my darkest fight be
the only meaning
and center
of my one last
new life...

I wish u knew

I wish u knew
All the feelings I feel for you
When Im sad, You make me happy
When Im mad, You make me calm
When Im scared, You make me feel safe
When I cry, You make me smile
On a rainy day, Your my sunshine !
Your the one I think of every night
And I am NOT giving up on us
WITH OUT a FIGHT !!!!!

For you Scott

New Start

For those who are suicidal

I know your thoughts I feel your pain,
but to kill yourself theres nothing to gain.
Let him or her see your smile so bright,
Even if you have to wear it with a fight.
Don't cry over them for it's their loss,
Just rid your life and become your own boss.
You are far too sweet and you have a big heart,
And with them out of your life you can have a new start.

- Deb

Stay

These past weeks have been confusing
I hope it is not you that I am losing
Sometimes I get scared and have some fears
These fears quite often lead to tears
The fights, the words can hurt so much
When all I want is to feel your touch
Not the touch of your physical part
But more the touch of emotional heart
Sometimes it seems like we both doubt
But you're the one I cannot live without
Some things we say don't sound the same
Like saying goodbye to just a name
We look at each other and it is love that we see
But look deeper and see what I'm trying to be
I'm trying to be the person you never had
To put a smile on your face even when you're sad
I want to be there for you through thick and thin
Especially when stress causes your head to spin
I want to be that person that you go to
And make you feel better by saying I love you
Because love is not just a word to me
It means much more than words of three
It is more a feeling that I cannot explain
It's a feeling at times that I cannot sustain
But love is different when I'm with you
It feels immense and feels so true
Please don't worry it will be just fine
Give me your hand and put your heart to mine
We have something that most people don't know
And because of that our love will grow
So baby please trust that you are the best
Very unique and far different from the rest
Do not take this poem in a negative way
All I want is for you to stay
Our love is complete, and so strong
There is no way we will go wrong
Let's make a one from the number two
Stare in each others eyes and say I LOVE YOU!!!

- Emanuel Sifuentes

True Love

Words will never describe how much I love you
You're the greatest and our love is true
These past months have been confusing
I hope it is not you that I am losing
At times I break into tears
Because in my mind I have fears
They are in my head, and over and over they play
When all I want, is for you to stay
We both seem to be sensitive now
But why now? And how?
We fight so much over little things
Then the next minute your giving me wings
It might not seem that way all the time
But when I do one thing wrong, it's a big crime
I know I mean everything to you
And trust me baby, I love you too
We will get through this
By talking or maybe a simple kiss
Our love is so strong
And there is no way we will go wrong
Please trust me and have no doubt
Because it is you, that I cannot live without
You bring me happiness and sunshine
All I ever wanted is for you to be mine
Now I have you, and I'm doing wrong
I guess emotionally I'm not that strong
I'll do anything for you sweetie pie
I'll get down on my knees, and even die
How can I treat you this way, so bad
It makes me so mad, but yet so sad
I used to be so perfect and so nice
I would never ever think twice
But now I feel like I'm the worse
It feels like maybe it's a curse
You don't understand how much I try
And sometimes I ask myself why?
Inside I know its my fault, and my problem
And you probably ask yourself, How do I stop 'em
My heart is crying in the middle of a smile
This has been happening for while
I am not lying and this is true
But the reason is not you
So instead of walking away
Think twice, and stay
Because great things are destined to happen
Just be patient, and don't ask when?
Baby you are my heart
And without my heart, I will fall apart
