The Road Less Traveled

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

~ Robert Frost

Friendship ~ Love

Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust

Love is when you feel like you are the only two around.

Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care.

Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart.

Friendship is being close even when you are far apart.

Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart when they are not near.

Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best.

Love is when you bring them the very best.

Friendship occupies your mind.

Love occupies your soul.

Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there when in need.

Love is when you will give up everything to be at their side.

Friendship is a warm smile in the winter.

Love is a warming touch that sends a pulse through your heart.

Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares:

A tender laugh, which opens your heart,

A single touch that melts away your fears,

A smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven,

A voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth.

Friendship can survive without love.

Love cannot live without friendship.

Poetry ~ A Passion

Poetry is a passion of mine, it is my way of unscrambling the messed up areas of my life into a somewhat organized picture in my mind. It has proven to be a release valve for me throughout many of my life’s triumphs and tribulations. I have awakened from a deep sleep, jumped out of bed and have begun scribbling words onto a piece of paper, almost an obsession at times but always fulfilling.

I remember the first poem I ever wrote, it was in 8th grade for an English assignment. As I began writing, I was amazed at how the words took on a life of their own. Up until that moment, I had never considered how writing my thoughts and feelings down could make me feel. Afterwards, I was constantly scribbling verses and lines and it became part of my daily routine.  Throughout my high school years of melodrama, I would write these poetic words as a release for the turmoil in my life and thus writing became a part of me throughout most of my early life.

Then for a while, I forgot to remember how writing cures the aches of the soul, I forgot that expressing oneself through words is not only therapeutic but also uplifting, I forgot that by giving up a part of myself I was giving up the person I was to be. I forgot that passions or talents should not be taken for granted or allowed to fall by the wayside but should be nourished and cultivated and expanded upon.

Miraculously though, and to me it was a miracle, I began to write again. It wasn’t as free flowing as it had been at first, though I remember vividly the day I was inspired to write again and couldn’t just not write. I was on a trip to Germany and the sites, the sounds, the feelings that were invoked were overpowering. It was as though I was awakening from a deep sleep and realized that my life could be so much more than I had allowed it to be for the last few years. I began scribbling away and realized that this was my gift, my one true talent and that if I didn’t use it this time I would probably never get it back again.
