Attached are 3 (slightly edited) poems written by my 19 year old daughter that I thought quite well done. Hope you enjoy them. (Comments are welcome)

A Star, So Far Away

As I remember my past
I see myself,
happy and unsatisfied,
living in the shadow
of an impossible dream,
blind to reality's
painful scheme,
hurting the ones I love,
for a star,
so far away…

A heart,
so vacant and alone,
my world
gone up in flames,
my life,
flashing before my eyes;
everything I'd ever known,
happiness,
a loving home,
was gone,
tossed away,
for a star,
much
to far away.

Clouds Of Heaven

She smiled
as he took her hand.
Spinning and twirling
they danced all night long,
locked in a trance,
unable to look away,
and the world disappeared
as their souls became one.

It had been years since
their last dance,
neither able to let go,
their hearts united,
even when parted by death.

Now they begin again,
a brand new start
as he holds her tightly
and they dance
to their song.

Reunited after 20 years
once again
they feel the warmth
they had never lost,
and they dance
their dance,
on the Clouds of Heaven.

I Promise You

I'm so sorry
for the things I've done,
for the pain,
the sorrow,
that I've caused.
Consumed
by false dreams,
I made them
reality
and was blinded
by the love
I never received.

I was vacant,
empty of the love
I left behind,
drowing
in a pool of lonliness,
living in Hell,
lost,
wanting to go home.

I'm sorry,
for the anger,
the disappointment,
the pain,
that you felt.
And if I could
do it all again,
there's so much
I'd change.

I never meant
to hurt,
or push you away,
I never meant
to leave,
on that horrid day.
I love you,
so very,
very much,
and I promise
I'll never
let you go
again.
