Slow Dance
Have you ever
watched
kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to
the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into a
fading
night?
You better slow down
Don't
dance so
fast
Time is short.
The music
won't
last
Do you run through each day
on
the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear
the
reply?
When the day is done
do you lie
in your
bed
with the next hundred chores
running through
your head?
You better
slow down
Don't dance
so fast.
Time is
short.
The music won't
last.
Ever told your
child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
not see his
sorrow?
Ever lost
touch,
let a good
friendship die
cause you
never had time
to call
and say "Hi"
You'd
better slow down
Don't dance
so fast
Time
is short
The music won't
last
When you run
so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting
there
When you worry and hurry
through your
day
It's like an unopened
gift...
Thrown
away.
Life is not a
race.
Do take it
slower
Hear the
music
Before the song is
over

Let's Pretend
Let’s pretend there is no one else
Let’s pretend that the only people in this world
Is you and me
Let’s pretend that no one is watching us
Let’s pretend that the whole world is our home
Where we spend time together
Loving every moment
Let’s pretend that we have no worries
Let’s pretend that there is nothing to stop us
From spending time even
Over seas
Let’s pretend to be a couple
Let’s pretend that we are getting married
You in your suit and me with my
Veil
Let’s pretend to fight
Let’s pretend to argue
Even though in the end we want each other
Let’s pretend that every night is meant

Conflicting Love
Sometimes (I) can’t stand this…
This distance between us…
(W)ill it ever close?
Will (i) be ab(l)e to handle it?
I don’t want it to tear us apart.
You were a(l)ways there for me
Even when I f(a)iled you,
Disappointed you.
P(l)ease hear me no(w).
Don’t turn (a)way from me.
(Y)ou are the one I need.
The one I want to (s)ee
In my darkest days.
Even so….
(L)ove is all you need?
I’m n(o)t so sure that is true…
It seems like you a(v)oid me…
Not looking me in the eye.
You know my f(e)elings
Are for (y)ou and you alone.
No one else c(o)mpares.
Yo(u)r light guides me…
And even if

The Lie
It hides alone, buried, concealed
Mistrust, betrayal, never to be healed
A blemish on the human soul
Colder than ice and blacker than coal
The threads it weaves stay locked in place
Hiding the truth from many a face
And as it continues to defy
The truth is revealed
As is the lie

Alright, first I didn't write this. This was emailed to me. It was written by a girl dying of cancer. Beautiful, no? She has six months to live and her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest since she never could. She'll never make it to prom, graduate high school, or get married and have a family of her own. I sent the mail on, of course, but I thought I'd share it with my watchers on deviantART. I take no credit for this poem and just want you to enjoy it. Please live your life to the fullest, if not for yourself then for her and everyone else who can't. Take things slower and enjoy life. Take the scenic route. Savor every bite.
