Why Ask Why?

If it sets a smile upon your face...
         Why ask why?
If it quickens the pulse and makes
your heart race...
          Why ask why?
If it awakens all the butterflies,
And dries the tears of endless cries...
Let down the walls and just admit...
If it makes you happy don't question it.
           Why Ask Why?
Leigh-Ann Sanders


Hate,
A symbolic word,
symbolizing the fear
between you and me.

Hate,
a sign,
signifying the
end of you and me.

S. Marie Chachere


thinking of you,
dreaming of you,
just wonna be with you,
come back to me,
baby you'll see,
It'll just be me and you,
I'll prove to you,
our love is true,
just please come back to me,
and you'll see...
the endless possibilities

"At Sky Level"
Strange...
To wander amongst the clouds
In billowy bliss,
To prance through fields of cumulus
And float upon the stratus
That catches my fall...
Natalie S. Aubele


THE STORM
Thunder...
(Like the thoughts of the day)
Rumbling,
Rushing,
Past my mind's yard,
Rattling my soul's window,
And distorting my view of the world
As I try to see through the glass
CARLA WHITING

Sorrow

Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain
Going through life
Going insane
Being to bold
Nothing to hold
Wanting my pride
Wanting to hide
Living a lie
Nothing left to hide
Wanting to die
