Welcome to Gaia! ::

These are just three of my most recent poems. Please tell me what you think
Life will go on:
Just as the seasons come and go
So does life I know
Even after you will go

The leaves will still fall
Year after year
Counting down the seconds left
Till you return home

The winter will come
The snow will fall
And create its blanket of white
The serenity of life

Letters will come and go
First from afar
Then to you from home
Life will go on I know

The winter will melt away
New leaves will form
New grass will grow
Just as our hopes
For you to come home

The summer will come
Its bright sun warm
Its blue water cool
Full of memories of you

The years will pass
Far to slow
Full of letters from you
And letters from home
In due time
As the seasons change
You will come home
But nothing will be the same

The leaves will still fall
The snow will still be serine
To melt and yield new greens
The water under the summer moon
Will still hold old memories of you

As life does not stop
Or get put on pause
I know it goes on
No matter who's gone

So I will change
As each season does
And pray to God
To still receive letters from you
As I know you will change too

Maybe some way
Our changes will morph and melt
As the seasons do
And I will get new memories with you

Bring a Smile to my face:
Bring a Smile to my face
Make me laugh
And light up my day

Hold my hand
And kiss my cheek
Make me feel like I'm the queen

Tell me jokes
And great ideas
Show me things are really real

Take my storm clouds
Push them away
Show me today is a better day

Kiss my lips
And hold me tight
Let's try to make it through another night

Text my phone
Call me late
Tell me sweet things
I'll try not to wait

Write me letters
And promise to come home
I know you're going to the war zone

So bring a smile to my face
Make me laugh
And forget you're going away

Cinderella:
Do you believe in love
Love at first sight?
Do you believe in fairy tales
And people who are meant to be?

I believe in Cinderella
The shallow
And obsessed
Those who see beauty and perfection
And must make it their own

I don't think true love can happen
When a person just walks by
Why do they feed me the ideas
Of handsome princes'
And lovely damsels in distress

Don’t they know Cinderella isn't real
That the idea of love at first sight
And handsome princes' is a lie

No ones meant to be
Love is some gained
Not found by looks

I believe Cinderella hated it
After the glory was gone
When the title was just a title
And the prince grew ugly
I believe the fairy tale ended
When she tried to tell him goodnight

I personally love "Cinderella"
