Hey,

If this was a year or two ago, this page wouldn't be on here. I would've thought poetry to be totally uncool and lame. But now my views on poetry have changed and I have come to enjoy both reading and writing it.

This page includes poems written by me, and poems written by fellow peers and other poets.

Hope ya enjoy! Email me with any comments or suggestions.

Thanks,
Heather

"It Was You, It Was Us

"I was dreaming awake one night
When I envisioned the most wonderful sight
It was you

We didn't say a word
Not a sound was heard
It was us

Then you smiled
And my heart went wild
It was you

You kissed my lips
With a sweet tenderness
It was you

When we touched
It was just to much
Baby, oh baby
You were driving me crazy
Crazy in love

Chorus:
And though you are no longer mine
You are always on my mind
And though I want to forget you
I can't although I want to

Because there was once a time
When you were mine
And you and I
Were so in love...
It was us

"Poetry not only opens the mind, but the heart as well."
"Your Gone"

"We arrived just after midnight
I asked my father, "Are you all right?"
He said, "I'm so sorry, but it was time for her to go."
I responded, "Daddy, I know, I know."

I looked at the body, it was so paleI
I touched her hand, it was so frail
I didnt speak a word and tears began to flow
It seemed so unreal that she had to go

We packed up the last of her things
I realized my angel had gotten her wings
I held her hand one last time
And then realized she was no longer mine

"Only the good die young..."
"Friends"

I got carried away,
I guess you could say
'Cause when you called
To apologize
I could tell by your voice
That there were tears in your eyes

I didn't mean to be so harsh
I didn't mean to be so crude
But when I wrote that letter
I guess I wasn't in the best of moods

My heart gave in
To your endless plea
How could I refuse?
For you've always been a friend to me

I told you not to fret or even cry
Over the heartless things I may say or do
'Cause when worse comes to worse
I'll always be a friend to you"

"Each Night"

"Each night
You lay in bed
Tears streaming down your cheeks

Each night
You lay in bed
Feeling so hopeless and weak

Each night, as you cry
You wonder why you feel this way
Why you have to pay

Each night
You lay in bed
As your heart breaks
As you lay there and shake

Each night
You lay in bed
Pages of memories
Turning inside your head

Each night
You lay in bed
All that is running through your mind
Is the question why you can't leave the past behind

Each night
You lay in bed
Knowing one day
You to will be cold and dead
