Explanation


In love with you so much was I.
I thought I'd take to the sky and fly.
I told you my feelings that once were true,
but the fool that I am is all I showed you.
I realized that my feelings were coming to an end,
and all I wanted to be to you was a friend.
I sent a letter as a last spark of fire.
To see if I had a chance before my feelings would expire.
Now, I'm sure that you hate me; the person I am.
But I just want to know if your offer of friendship still stands?

What Happens When a Person Dies?


Do they go to Heaven
or Hell?

Does their spirit fly up
and play harps all day
and night? Like the
normal stereotype.

Or, does their spirit go to
Hell for everlasting
damnation with overwhelming
fright?

Do they enter the
the body of a newborn
baby?

It’s truly unknown
like the dinosaur
extinction theory.

Life: A Sestina


Many questions are asked in life.
Most of the answers just confuse.
People develop friendships.
Some fall head over heels in love,
while others unwantingly face
the corruptive forces of hate.

The world is full of hate;
This world of ours in which we live
full of people with many faces
and races. Maybe to confuse
is the purpose. Those in love
who once had a close friendship.

The most important thing to people are friends,
usually. They're important assets that people hate
to lose. For them there is a type of love
that people have. Friends whom they've known for life.
Other friends appear to be confusing.
They could deceive you and make you lose face.

There are many disappointments that smack hard in the face.
For example when a day comes when a friend
dies. The reason why it's usually confusing;
Youngsters who are religious develop hate
for the thing of worship for taking the friend for life
whom they've known forever and developed love.

Others acquire a love
for the mystical nature on the face
of the earth; The home of life.
Where many people exchange friendly
smiles and others display hate
found by people confusing.

A lot of things in life are confusing.
Many intense feelings such as love
which is as equally intense as hate.
Many physical things like a blow to the face
or the self-security of friends.
Those are many elements to the mysteries of life.

Throughout one's life many things confuse;
The thing of friendship for love.
While others live to face the injustices of hate.

Confusion


Riding on the bus after making acquaintances.
The way you looked at me
with your beautiful brown eyes.

Confusion.

When you asked me to watch you run,
I gladly accepted, and I watched
with delight, yet there was still...

Confusion.

I was sure that I had feelings for you.
Very Badly I wanted to ask you out, but how?
Personally, through a friend,
On the phone, or through a letter.

Confusion.

Now we don't even talk anymore.
Why? I don't know.
Maybe you're mad at me.
Or maybe it's my shyness.

Confusion.

Still I want to ask you out.
To have a few moments of your time
would last me an eternity. For I must say that
over the past few months I have found the
only thing that doesn't confuse me.
That is my love for you, but the fear
of finding out that you won't return my love causes...

Confusion.

Letting You Know


You call it infatuation.
Love is what I call my situation.
You tell me I don't love you.
There's nobody who needs you like I do.
You claim what I have for you is an obsession.
Saying I love you is my only confession.
I've realized that these feelings will never be gone.
So I guess I'm bad, if loving you is wrong.
You know I'll do anything for your love,
but I know for you that's not enough.
Straight from my heart comes the phrase "I love you".
To have your love would be a dream come true.

Rocky Road



It's like a rocky road some people say.
There is nothing that comes free;
It can change in an instant from day to day.

Life can be good at the beginning of the day;
And could turn completely bad by quarter of three.
It's like a rocky road some people say.

Everyone who's close can go away;
They go away to work or to a university.
It can change in an instant form day to day.

Towards certain people you feel a certain way.
They lead you on and fill your heart with glee.
It's like a rocky road some people say.

Others just ruin your life in every way.
With them you feel anger when in close proximity.
It can change in an instant from day to day.

Life is something strange in every way
with nothing that truly comes free.
It's like a rocky road some people say.
It can change in an instant from day to day.
