A River of Belief
The love swells as an ocean in my heart
Growing immensely towards a goal
For once all hope seemed lost
All seemed inevitable, of an impending fate.
As the tides come and go,
So do the loves...
One can hardly see amidst the pain,
That there's good in it all.
Until one can fully express themselves,
And not be afraid of what he might find
Love will come, as well as, love willingly goes.
So love yourself before loving another,
Because looking for someone before noticing yourself
Is in no way a reward.
Before you can have an ocean of love,
You need in yourself a river of belief.

Stars of Love
Starlike moments in time
explain much
But just how do times
like these arise.
It's when many glorious
stars turn into a bunch
Then it branches out and
almost doubles in size.
Love is practically the
same disposition
Only love gathers upon
time manifested in itself.
Now upon which star
is your love wishing
Is your love based on
truth or pelf?
m. Elizabeth Poole
From "Where Dawn Lingers"
The National Library of Poetry - ISBN 1-57533-065-1
This poem was written during one of the darkest spots in my life,when I was 15 or 16 years old, when things can be a bit much(or so teenagers think) but it's one of my favorites and sparks emotional venues in many(or so I have been told).
The Mistake
Here I am, don't ask where.
All I know, it is a place of despair.
It stinks down here, rotten and gory.
I should not fret, my life was boring.
I took it all for granted --
All the love that was planted.
I hurt a lot of people, a lot of friends,
But now it is all over, it came to an end.
All the attempts, the mistakes,
The love I turned to hate.
Sorry everybody, I hurt you so.
I just didn't talk, you could not have known.
Just like a storm, come and gone.
Thanks for everything - the love and life.
If I had made it - it would have been too much strife.
But now I realise the mistake I made.
If I could change it - I certainly would, to live with you, mom & dad - like every child should.
