//"A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom." Robert Frost //


 * " Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."  T.S. Eliot **

__" Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason." Novalis  __

__Ice Cream__ I Love The cool, Sweet, savory taste Of summer's favorite treat. A rainbow of delight; My pleasure on a hot starry night; My sweet tooth’s most potent weakness; My kryptonite, my Achilles’ heel, ice cream. Delicious, delectable, scrumptious, tasty, Lip smacking, yummy, mouth-watering, The dictionary can’t even come up With the words to describe my Love for the dessert that I crave. The song for Children that the ice Cream truck wails, “I scream! You Scream we all Scream for… ICE CREAM!"

__Courage__  The little candle flickers Ignited by one tiny spark The little candle flickers Opposing the rain, wind, and dark The little candle flickers Alone in its fight The little candle flickers Given the chance it’d gladly grow and spread The little candle flickers Despite abuse, it refuses to go dead The little candle flickers Struggling against the odds The little candle flickers The symbol of right in the sea of wrong The little candle flickers On and on and on

**Stupidly staring with your bovine eyes** **A scolding hate that chokes me every time **   **Your crooked smile satisfies my thirst ** **Your attention is my private goal **  **Stuck in loath and love, nothing more to do**
 * __Love to Hate__**
 * Each word you breath is nothing more than lies **
 * Biting my tongue, resisting impending crime **
 * Beware! Your nearness makes me nauseous **
 * <span style="color: #1ee6e6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dangerously on edge, ready to fall **
 * <span style="color: #1ee6e6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I strongly recommend that you be cautious **
 * <span style="color: #1ee6e6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crippled by your poison, it makes my skin crawl **
 * <span style="color: #1ee6e6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Infected by obsession, beyond self-control **
 * <span style="color: #1ee6e6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Confessing to insanity, set to burst **
 * <span style="color: #1ee6e6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It’d be my luck to fall in love with you **

__** If only you knew... **__ Before I hadn’t cared Now I can’t resist Tempted and undeniably scared Somehow, you managed to persist

You found the single crack In my armor worn thick Too far in to look back This must be some trick

You can’t possibly really love me But you don’t let me go My sensible half wants to flee Haunted by your warm hug from long ago

You made me fall You made me take this chance I opened up and explained it all I stupidly let you make your advance

We sat in the rain We walked in the sun I hadn’t expected the pain We used to have fun

But when it really counted When I laid it all on the line Nothing we felt had amounted And I’m not really fine

Your reasons make sense It’s not that I don’t agree You put me on the defense You left me with all the debris

Why’d you string me along? What was the point to the time ideally spent? What made you decide you were wrong? What was actually meant?

I would have been fine I wouldn’t have given a second thought I should never have crossed that line I would never have been caught

Now that I’m in Well over my head My armor has turned thin There was more you should have said

First romance does end You may have been being protective But rules can bend What about my perspective

Before we were friends Now we hide it The start is the same as the end But unlike you I didn’t want to quit __ [|Call Me When Your Sober - Evanescence]

“I can’t believe we’re going to boy’s States! It’s just not fair! I wanted to go to Penn State.” “I can’t wait to go to boy’s States!
