We all have our dreams that we strive to achieve. Most of us set our sights so high that they may seem impossible to reach... But we should never let others tell us it can't be done -- keep reaching, continue trying... never stop flying...

We as humans have a tendency to feel that we need another person to make us whole so we search and search for our "other half" and in the process, are hurt countless times by those we thought might have been our soulmates.

This poem tries to express this feeling of hopelessness that we feel when we're alone, and the misery we feel when a potential life-partner goes sour. What I am trying to say with this poem is that we cannot be happy with others until we are happy with ourselves. A second person does not fill the void and complete our song, rather, the second person adds harmony to our already beautiful melody.

This poem was inspired by a certain famous movie star. Keanu Reeves visited my fair city to play Hamlet in a local theatre's production. During this time, the people of the city went wild with trying to catch a glimpse of stardom and paid any amount for a ticket to the play. The poem describes how people worship their idols and forget about their own lives, making nothing of themselves.

Life can seem completely hopeless... and maybe it is. But our friendships are what keep us hanging on…

Years ago, I had been given a friendship bracelet by a good friend of mine, and I still wear it to this day. One day I wrote this simple little poem about what it means to me. I've also found that this is a good poem to give to a friend, along with a handmade bracelet, to tell them how much they mean to you.

Sometimes, people want something so badly and search for it so hard, that they don't see what's right in front of them…

This is a sonnet about a relationship that was wrong from the start. Perhaps I didn't see how wrong it was until it was over because my vision was blurred with tears...
