So many days go by, and I am still here,
People pass me by, but they don't see my ocean of tears,
I stand here alone with my thoughts and my fears,
I cry out for help again and again, but noone seems to hear.

Every day is another to be endured,
When will it end? When will there be no more?
'Wonder if there was ever a time that I didn't feel this void.

Memories fall elapsed with time
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
And what you'll find.

Think only of your present - not the past
Cherish all your memories
Always make them last.

Tiny vicious thoughts erupt
Almost everytime
Don't think in them they'll just corrupt
Your heart, and thoughts, and mind.

Many tiny happy tears
May weep within your heart
Think of all your hopes - not fears
Cuz that's the place to start.

Love is the strongest emotion
Except when it comes to rage
Love can bring two fools together
Or watch as you turn the page.

Sometime's love is just not enough
To fool one's wicked heart
But those who spend life enjoying what they have
Are strong enough to be a part
So smile those happy-go-lucky smiles
And think happy thoughts today
Cuz anger, fustration, and saddness at heart
Pushes true feelings away.

Mary....don't worry, everything will be okay.
Just remember don't think about tomorrow...just be happy today.

The following poems were sent to me by my buddy Sven to be added to this page. They are absolutely awesome!! Don't take my word for it though read on and find out what goes through that Viking's head!


Flesh and fire conspire
To become one
Truth obscured by the sun
A light
Rips away the night
Frightened
Exposed
Dawn's breaking finds me
Cold
Wet
Shaking



Unrequited
Laughing at my love
I swore
I'd never be caught
A child
With a lesson to be taught
Life's fortune revealed
And swept away
By the same hand
Heavenly nights
Earthly delights
Spun together
Crumble to sand



I put on this face
This seamless disguise
It's really not me
You see
In my eyes
I am my own god
Omnipotent force
I am my own devil
Blessed with a curse
Creation takes will
Destruction gives chance
My heart cant be still
In this divine dance
