In a Very Unusual Way

In a very unusual way one time I needed you.
In a very unusual way you were my friend.
Maybe it lasted a day, maybe it lasted an hour.
But, somehow it will never end.

In a very unusual way I think I'm in love with you.
In a very unusual way I want to cry.
Something inside me goes weak,
Something inside me surrenders.
And you're the reason why,
You're the reason why

You don't know what you do to me,

You don't have a clue.
You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you.
It scares me so, that I can hardly speak.

In a very unusual way, I owe what I am to you.
Though at times it appears I won't stay, I never go.
Special to me in my life,
Since the first day that I met you.
How could I ever forget you,
Once you had touched my soul?
In a very unusual way,
You've made me whole


Thank you Barbra Streisand for the beautiful music! Happy Birthday!!!

The Spring Fling

Thoughts leave

Like the scattering of light

flung

Off the last leaf;

Before night

falls...

Until the shadows rise

Out of lost dreams

sprung

From yesterday's lies;

Tomorrow, I redeem

the fall that waits for winter.

For my friends...

...who read my blog.  Thank you so much for your support!!!!  It means so much!!!  I have 2 projects to do for my classes.  I've decided to try to incorporate poems for both. --(insert big smile here)-- But the pressure is on!!! The last few weeks of school have taken up so much time, I haven't had much time for my personal writing.  After I've submitted my projects for a grade, I'll share them here!  I'll be taking a creative writing class over the summer... I'm hoping that will give me more time for a southern poetaster!!!

I started this blog to give me a creative outlet, because.. well... I had very little opportunity for creativity in my life.  Since I've started school, my creativity has an outlet... but I miss my blog!!!  I miss spending a lazy afternoon with music and poetry.  However... I have never been in a better place in my life!!!  I have met my destiny!!!  It's nice to finally know what I want to be when I grow up!!!  --although, I do hope it involves more writing!!!
