Who I am & Want to Be.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

EE Cummings

I LOVE poetry. As you have probably already surmised. I am in love with the idea of love, but I am not convinced it really exists, except in Christ. I want to be a Pablo Neruda poem in my love life..."...I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride..." that is how I really am..."...Because, I know no other way than this..."..

I love to write poetry...Play music. Listen to music. Paint. Draw. Teach. Mentor. Love Jesus. Take snappies (my TRUE passion besides music!)...Be with my friends. Have fun. I will try anything once...Except for the OBVIOUSLY disgusting.

My Music:

I don't love you much do I
Just more than human tongue can tell and that's all
I don't love you much do I
Remember how I kissed you in the hall

See how it sparkles in my eyes
I couldn't hide it if I tried- that's right
I don't love you much do I
Just more than anything else in this whole world
I don't love you much do I
Just more than all the stars in the sky
I don't love you much do I
I think you hung the moon and that's alright

I don't love you much do I
You can feel it all the way across the room
I don't love you much do I
Like the spring doesn't make the flowers bloom
I don't love you much do I
I'd follow you to hell and back again
I don't love you much do I
Just watch me light up when you walk in

Where could I even begin???

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Someone else stood by your side
She looked so satisfied
I can't help it
I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealin'
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old-time feelin'
I can't help it
I am still in love with you

It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it
I'm still in love with you


I think I could go on forever! HAHAHA...

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play you're coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.


I want to be a stellar HUMAN BEING. I think there are so few GOOD people in the world...If we would all just remember common courtesy...If...

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

-- Rudyard Kipling

I love classic literature...

SHAKESPEARE, Tennyson, Keats, Neruda, Browning, Socrates, DaVinci, Elizabth Barret Browning, Emily Dickinson, Virginia Wolfe, Leo Tolstoy, John Steinbeck, Euripites, etc...
