~ Hey! It's been awhile since I last posted, although I've been steadily writing. Here's my latest. Enjoy!~


I smile stupidly
While looking at you
Hoping to myself
That you might love me too

I've never felt like this before
It's making me a bit scared
I think I might love you
I hope the feeling is shared

You've helped me so much
And made me realize
That this feeling's not lust
That's the big surprise

You're the grestest guy
And you've been there all along
Can emotions this intense
Possibly be wrong?

I'm way too scared to tell you
How I truly feel
Because then you might leave
And my heart would never heal

If I tell you how I love
And truly care for you
You might want to just be friends,
Might not feel as i do

So I'll silently love you
And openly be your friend
Hopefully through the years
The friendship won't end

You'll have other girls, though for me
There are no other guys
I'll go through life pretending
It's not love in my eyes

And you'll laugh at my foolishness
As I sit there grinning
Thinking of a love
I have no hope of winning

I still smile stupidly
When I look at you
And yes I still hope
That you might love me too




~You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in people, than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.~

This is piece is very... true. Straight from the mouths of babes and the hearts of the innocent. In a way, this makes you want to sit and just smile with a cheesey grin on your face. Ahhh Love stories, I can never get enough of them. Oh and an excellent write as well.

Something my mother painted on the top of the stairs leading to my childhood room;

Carpe Diem

Take it from a bitter soul.  Yesterday can never be recovered and today is lonely. Don't wait.

Blah...i think you could have been more concise. I dislike bloggy poetry, though thats just a pet-peeve.  I honestly think you could reduce whilst maintaining the effect.

"Our child is in your hands
So let's see you smile now
Cause i'm not impressed with your loneliness"

I enjoyed this... I relate to it a LOT right now.

Rise Of Truth- I really liked your response. It meant as much to me as that poem did.
