My Refuge

A long rough day
I need to push the world away
Go to my room, lock the door
Turn on my karaoke machine, track four
I sing and sing until my voice is hoarse
But that doesn't stop me, of course
Reaching for my guitar, pick in hand
I write a new song about the beach and its sand
Drifting away to my favorite place
This, right here, is my own secret space
The music brings me comfort, relaxation, and peace
It helps put my mind at ease
When I just want to shut the world out
Music is my refuge, no doubt
It is the safest place to sit and hide out

Don't Wake Me

The lights glistening around us
Been waiting for so long, I don't fuss
In your arms once again
Sitting here now, remembering when
Your laugh, your smile
Its been such a long while
I've missed you more than I can explain
Being with you takes away my pain
-my alarm clock screams, I jump out of bed
The wonderful dream leaves my head

When I Was Your Her

I remember the way things were
When you were my him and I was your her
Your voice, your smell
This I remember so well
Your eyes, glistening like the sun
Yes, my heart, you have won

A Work Of Art

Writing poems is fun and exciting
Relaxing and uniting
It brings joy, creativity, and expression
All while teaching some kind of lesson

Poetry is a work of art
One that is close to my heart
It paints a picture, dark or light
O', such a sight

Emotions poured onto a sheet
Some leave you on the edge of your seat
Scary, happy, angry, and sad
This part of English makes me so glad

Some may grumble at this assignment
But I find it comes with perfect alignment
Pick up your pencil, let the words flow
Poetry makes my heart glow

November 24th

November twenty-fourth, its that time of year
We come together full of cheer
Family and friends
The food never ends
A list of things to be grateful for
Floor, walls, a roof, a door
Friends and family, we adore
Food, jobs, there's so much more
The gift of all gifts, most importantly
Jesus Christ paying for our sins
The opportunity to be with Him eternally
The ultimate price
Paid by Christ
So I express my gratitude in this way
Here and now, this Thanksgiving Day
