Singles Awareness Day

It’s Valentine’s Day,
Singles Awareness Day,
It’s today, Monday,
But I’m still happy.
How odd,
Aren’t I supposed to be sad?
Well I’m not,
Why am I not mad?
Aren’t I supposed to curse V-day,
Or stab baby Cupid?
Take away his bow,
Because I feel stupid?
This is rather weird,
A new sensation,
One of contentment,
Or exhilaration.
V-day can’t pull me down,
And make me sad,
No romance is needed,

To make ME glad!


In...Like?

My stomach is turning,
My eyes are wide,
I smile warmly,
When he's at my side.

I often think,
That I'm in love,
It makes me feel,
much like a dove.

But I know,
The feelings fake,
Although I think,
I see a wedding cake.

Though I wish,
I could marry him,
I know as well,
The prospects dim.


A Sweet Thing

A little crush,
That's what it is,
She's sitting there,
What is this?

He's wearing a black shirt,
I don't like to stare,
But I can't help it,
He has some flare.

She's bad at Ninja,
She gets out every time,
But that's okay,
She's so divine.

My mind is racing,
He knows so much,
My hand is tingling,
At his touch.


Romeo

When I see your name,
On the screen of my cell,
My heart pumps faster,
Everyone can tell.

I talk to you all the time,
About nothing in particular,
For hours on end,
Or a very large integer.

Your mannerisms make me smile,
The way you are with kids,
You mess around all the time,
The way you always forgive.

I am happy when I talk to you,
And sad when I can't,
When I tell you something,
You always understand.

Sometimes I wish,
You'd be interested in me,
But too often I think,
That it just can't be.


Young Love

A red couch,
A brown pillow,
A comfy quilt,
Sweet, I know.

They sit right there,
They whisper low,
Holding hands,
Time moving slow.

Smiling faces,
Short giggles,
A quiet laugh,
Small chills.

A young man,
A little lady,
Sitting together,
In perfect harmony

Stars sparkle,
She glows so bright,
Compliments from him,
All this night.

And here we leave them,
These lovers two,
They need some privacy,
Wouldn't you?


Wind Chimes

The air is full of wind chimes,
Chiming in the air,
With musical little tinkles,
No sound could ever compare.

The chimes hang from trees,
Surrounding the small beach,
Slowly we walk forward,
Our lives seeming complete,

The wind floats softly over me,
Across my face and arms,
Across my hand entwined with his,
Sending off silent alarms.

My skin feels electrified,
As we walk hand in hand,
His whisper in my ear,
Our feet in the sand,

His face lights up,
With a mischievous light,
As he pulls me toward the water,
I don't put up a fight.

The sand between my toes,
The wind in my hair,
The water climbing my legs,
The music in the air,

The sun set splashes over us,
As the water swirls round,
Our eyes lock,
Not making a sound.

I catch my breath,
Stare deeply in his eyes,
The moment perfect,
No words can describe

He leans towards me,
My heart skips a beat,
My eyes closed tight,
Our lips meet.


When Love Strikes

When the mind and heart are tangled,
Fighting love and logic,
When ones throat feels tight and strangled,
Leaving one’s middle sick
When tears are tempted down pale cheeks,
Making red lips tremble,
When legs stand immobile and weak,
No one moves a muscle
When two hearts or a luckless one,
Fall deeply into love,
When their soul-mate’s finally won,
They’ll thank heaven above
Then life’s perception starts to change,
The pieces seem to fall apart,
Like a puzzle we rearrange,
Giving us a new start


I Miss You

I feel lost,
No one to cling to,
I feel lost,
No one to sing to.
My mind is lost,
I am so confused,
My mind is lost,
I’ve been so misused.
My heart would race,
Every time I’d text you,
My heart would race,
Every time I’d see you.
My imagination runs,
I really miss you,
My imagination runs,
Wish I could kiss you.
My life goes on,
You’ll never come back,
My life goes on,
But it’s still off track.


A Letter From Him

A letter,
Just lying there,
Unopened,
I can only stare.
My heart pumps,
My face turns red,
It’s for me,
Wonder what he said.
Hands fumble,
I open the seal,
His writing,
A warmth I can feel.
He asks me,
If I am okay,
How am I doing?
What to say…
Short and sweet,
The letter ends,
He said “Yours always”,
*Reads again*


Once Again
Once again,
The tears are falling,
I’m so confused,
My heart is calling.
Why pick me?
Can’t we just be friends?
My feelings torn,
This always happens.
They fall for me,
Or I fall for them,
But it never works,


Not in the end.


Charmed

You say you’ll always love me,
That I have your heart,
You say you’ll never leave me,
That we’ll never be apart.
I said it wouldn’t work,
Don’t you understand?
Don’t reel me in again,
Don’t reach out your hand.
You know of course I’ll take it,
As you pull me bit by bit,
You teach me commands,
Speak, roll-over, sit.
I cover my ears with my hands,
And hide my face in my arms,
Hiding from your magic spell,
From your irresistible charm.
As much as I care for you,
It’s only as a friend,
You say you’ll always love me,
Your heart will never mend.
Gosh, you know you’re sweet,
And lovable to boot,
But I am not in love with you,
That’s the irrefutable truth.
