Sometimes

Sometimes the truth churns my gut
into a shape so scared.
I may feel a lie would sound better,
but for the truth, I am prepared.

Sometimes the stars turn to me
and glimmer for awhile.
They come to me, then dissapear-
burning out in style.

Sometimes feelings enter my body,
then protrude into my soul.
Calming or savage, pay now or pay later;
they always take their toll.

Sometimes I ponder who she is,
who will match my rhyme.
When I do, I tell myself
she'll show her face in time.

Sometimes lonely sight takes over
the vision through my eyes.
Sometimes fulfillment takes me higher
than the sky above the skies.

Jeremy, this is a fantastic poem. To me, it says alot. Great job!  

 Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

 "Love is the product of our discontentment with ourselves."
"Bleeding hearts release tears of fire"
"work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt,and live everyday as if it's your last"
