[b]Poem #4
The Two of Us
Something was there, that only they could feel,
the love for each other, so strong and real.
They were always together, never apart,
sharing almost everything, even their hearts.
Their hands met, clasped so firm and tight,
they were never out of each other's sight.
He was there when she needed him the most,
when everything felt seemingly hopeless and lost.
The day soon came when she had to go,
when they exchanged good-byes, he told her so.
"I'll wait for you, no matter what,
for you'll always be in my heart."
"With all my heart, I solemnly pledge,
with all my love, I solemnly swear."
Their lips locked in a passionate kiss,
she soon left, leaving him thinking of what he'll miss.

[b]Poem #13
Someday
Someday, IÂ’m just going to
say I give
up
And throw my hands
into the air
Cupping the stars and hoping that they
plummet
What a very mean thing to think
Santa Claus wonÂ’t be very happy
to find that you wished his
traffic lights dead
YouÂ’ll regret this
as soon as the first snow
falls
and the death of silent night
brings presents for everyone
but you
Someday, IÂ’m just going to
pray to the air and the roads
And not to God
because they are here
deciding my fate
and He is Above
Me
Up there behind the clouds
Hiding
behind the shamed moon
Watch and wait, I will burn
up
like the stars
that you want me to become
Someday, IÂ’m just going to
walk the plank
Because IÂ’ve never seen sharks before
in real life
And who knows if they arenÂ’t really
the kindest beasts
in the whole wide world?
Someday, IÂ’m just going toÂ…
