Poem: I Saw You From Afar

I saw you from afar
You who I loved before
My heart was truly filled
Then I remembered

I wished upon a star
Then said "Nevermore"
My love was mourned, stilled
I felt insecured

Though the memory a mar
Jealousy in my core
The feeling I killed
For I matured

I saw you from afar
You I loved a bit more
My heart was truly healed
The days I numbered

Poem: Alone Remembering

Trying to live alone
Wind below my wings
A daily grind and fling
Something I should atone

God is surely with me
In the light and dark
Here I lay my mark
Over the wide blue sea

Friends come and go away
Peace and quiet still my heart
Missing you while we're apart
Now I live day by day

Poem: April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day!
What is it that you say?
I got engaged!
Then I am enraged.
Twas a joke oft repeated.

Tissue paper rolls strewn about.
Do you really want to go this route?
Silly string, hot sauce on food,
You pranksters really ruin the mood,
When on a whoopee cushion I am seated.

When my vengeance comes,
You will regret what you have done.
I will put insects in your crumbs,
Spiders crawling out of your bun.
I hope to see you this day conceded.

April Fool's Day!
It's all just a fun game!
Just don't hurt people, I say.
Because that is really lame.
My need for attention is sated.
