its strong and its sudden
and its cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love

Raindrops down the window pane
Sound of thunder fills the air

A storm of confusion in my head
My heart is in despair

Wind is howling the rain is heavy
On and on it rages

My soul to you was an open book
You tore out all the pages

I usually don't just sit down to write and brainstorm. My poems come from emotions that I feel. Almost all of my poems are short and are very similar to the emotions we feel as human beings. Alot of times our emotions are short lived, but, very intense. It seems that the more intense an emotion is the shorter it is. A person sometimes does things out of character because they are driven to action by an emotion an emotional response.

My body reacts as you come into view
My brain scrambles at the thought of you

I love your hair and the way that you walk
My tongue gets so tied I can’t even talk

We share no words or a single greeting
You pass me by, the moments are fleeting

You don’t know my name or even how I look
But I learned more from you then any book

For I went to that spot for several days in a row
The days turned to months and you never did show

I learned to act upon my hearts desires
To seize every moment before it expires

The power of love

Can change a mind

Reaching

To the depth of soul

Shades of darkness

Fade to light

Joy of spirit

Takes hold

A new life

A seed that grows

Changing of a season

A heart that beats

In perfect rhythm

Full of love

I went on a journey to save my soul

For my life of sin had taken it's toll

Over mountains and through thick woods

I came upon a bridge of rope

Stretching over the valley of darkness

It would test my faith and hope

The wind howled, the thunder roared

As the bridge swayed to and fro

I could hear the demons Laughing

And taunting me from below

My sin was heavy

My guilt was strong

Hope began to fade

So on my knees I prayed to thee

To give me strength and courage

As rain fell down upon me

And I thought my end was near

I felt the touch of Jesus

He told me not to fear

1) My grandson
2) waking up alive
3) wh wh what was the question again
