  My Shooting Star

  Sparkle, Sparkle,

  Into the light you go.

  Dash across the sky,

  My enchanting star,

  And brighten the sky,

  With your amazing,

  Colors.

  ***

  Soul with Light

  Breathe in new air,

  Fill my soul with light,

  Make my heart lighter,

  Bring in the peace,

  I crave deep inside me.

  I want strength,

  To make me endure,

  Face the future,

  Conquer it,

  Accept it,

  Love it,

  Breathe me new air,

  Give me fire to push on.

  ***

  Sunset Divine

  Sunset bright,

  Heart’s delight,

  Red hues divine,

  Oranges very wild,

  Bit’s of brown,

  Like flecks of dirt,

  Perhaps, a nod,

  To mother earth,

  I smile in delight,

  The sight so fine,

  My heart content,

  Bids the day goodbye,

  Until tomorrow,

  I say,

  Another Sunset Delight

  ****

  Frustrations Undone

  There is a day frustration,

  Eats me up inside,

  Makes me scream out loud,

  I walk into the kitchen,

  Pick a knife,

  And a chopping board,

  And put the stereo on.

  I chop, cut, pound,

  And tear at vegetables,

  While I sing to

  My favorite rock tunes,

  Hours later, usually two

  Or four, depending on my mood,

  The frustration is gone,

  And all that’s left,

  Is a beautiful plate

  Of food with a smile.

  ****

  Breaking the Monotony

  Love is the beginning of a great

  Deal of life’s emotions.

  Indulge in it and you’ll discover

  the essence of living life

  When you love, you’ll hurt, you’ll smile

  you’ll cry, laugh, sing and like

  Sometimes it will be difficult, other times

  it will be easy.

  You’ll find sadness and despair,

  what’s best is that your heart

  will always run to

  that which matters most to you.

  ****

  Smile

  I missed your smile,

  Your laugh, your look,

  That special look

  Meant just for me,

  I caught a glimpse of

  You on the street,

  I ran after you

  Thinking to catch up,

  Each time, I found

  You’re not really there,

  My heart died a little,

  I cried a lot more,

  When the doorbell rang,

  And I saw you there,

  I felt like the luckiest girl on earth,

  All I could think to say was,

  I missed your smile.

  ****

  On love

  I speculate, fantasize,

  And encourage on the subject,

  Yet I’m very naïve; uninformed.

  I only want to appear better

  Than the next person,

  Perhaps I am, maybe not.

  It would make sense

  To explore, understand,

  Grasp this subject.

  I will admit,

  I claim to know so much,

  Yet, I don’t know anything.

  In fact, my naiveté is

  Appallingly vast.

  One day,

  I shall be learned enough.

  For now it remains,

  I try to hold my own,

  On the subject of Love.
