I Carry Your Heart with Me...

i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go,
my dear;

and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,
my darling)

i fear

I was watching something recently and I heard this poem being read.  I thought it was poignant.  Love is an all encompassing word.  It can be passionate, friendship, or sisterly/brotherly love.

Beauty Beyond the Ashes

Today commemorates the tragedy of 9/11/2001.  Remember how I told you that everyone has a story?  Well this book is written by the widower of one of those that were on the airplane that day.  Her story, as well as countless of others, are being shared by those that were left behind.  Sometimes a quirk of fate saves your life and sometimes you meet your destiny.  If push came to shove, would you want to be left behind?  Do you see the warning signs of impending doom?  What will you do?  

Ode to a Nose

The Nose Knows

The nose knows
what it does
not know
just by sniffing
and smelling
everything around.
Flowers smell good
and garbage smells bad.
Some smells
can be too pungent.
Some stinks
make you gag.
Some scents
make you sneeze.
Achoo!  Achoo!  Achoo!

Between colds and allergies some people just do not enjoy certain seasons to the best of their ability.  And summer is on it's way out but fall is not far behind.  Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is smell.  Because some people are ok with certain smells whereas some just aren't.  And I didn't say ain't cause ain't is not a word but you know it probably is now.

Labor Day

Don't Work Too Much

William Shakespeare

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances..."

I was listening to a message tonight titled "The beginning of The End."  What do you think?  Do you agree that it's the beginning of the end?  Ironically enough I was planning to write a poem with that title but he beat me to it.  The stage is set and the players are all on stage.  Will this be the ultimate tragedy to ever play on this earth?

Hmmm...

Wishful Thinking

I think I might
have a wish
I wish tonight!

I want to
meet you soon.
Someone...
I have never met
before.

Someone
that gets me.
Someone
that lets me
be me.

Someone
that I have
always hoped to meet
but not quite
sure existed.

If destiny
was meant
to lean that way.
That you and I
would meet!

They say you never know what you are searching for until you find it.  But you know when it is not.  Deep down inside you know.  So your answer is no.  Until you finally find what it is you're looking for.  Because unfortunately others who are not in tune to who they truly are will try to catch you in their snares thinking they know you when they really don't.  Who knows you best?  You do!  And with some people you always show your company manners and with some you know you are who you really are and so you are comforted and comfortable.
