			<title>Caught in the Middle</title>
			<description>In the broken home of my heartIt feels like I am falling apart.The screams gather in my throat,But nothing important here to note.I am just a piece of nothing;Wishing for a little piece of something.Vain tears fall down my faceAs I feel like I have lost my place.When will they seeHow much it is they..</description>

			<title>A Soldier At Heart</title>
			<description>This is a poem I wrote in dedication to my friend Bearrie whom has always supported me in my writing...I am so thankful to him. It's not only in dedication to him, though. It's also for all those men and women who fight so America can remain the land of t</description>

			<title>Unexpected Romeo</title>
			<description>Your whispers were carried on the winds, my love.Like a sweet sirens song, your words caressed my ears.Now I hold you in my arms,Yet the pain within my heart still remains.Though I love you, it is not to be.For star-crossed lovers are we,Forbidden by both Heaven and Hell.So, hold on to..</description>

			<title>Dreams of You</title>
			<description>I close my eyes As I'm thinking of you. It turns to a dream That will never come true. A dream of caresses, Of forbidden kisses. Your hand on my cheek As your lips brush mine. My heart beats sadly As these visions continue. They will never be reality, I know that now. Y..</description>

			<title>By Your Side</title>
			<description>Your rare smiles, And even rarer laughs. I hold my breath to see and hear The happiness you feel, if even for a moment. I hold you near and dear, Even as you try to push me away. My heart is breaking more each day As I wait for you to see me. See me for who I am. The one who lo..</description>

			<title>My Friend</title>
			<description>As I sit here, I begin to wonder. Where did the time go? The long nights of talks, They&amp;rsquo;ve nearly faded. Missing your presence in my life. Wishing that time would stop, Giving me more time with you. My confidant, my friend. So tired, you are, as you sit here with me. I wa..</description>

			<title>The Road</title>
			<description>A road lies before me. It&amp;rsquo;s one I&amp;rsquo;ve never been on. I&amp;rsquo;m scared of what it holds, Excited to find out. I look down at this path, Paved in it&amp;rsquo;s plated gold. Hold me as I start my walk, To what future has in store. As I start my journey, What do they think?..</description>

			<title>As You Sleep</title>
			<description>I lie awake as you sleep, Your breathing can&amp;rsquo;t be heard. I call your name, there is no sound. No, you don&amp;rsquo;t say a word. I hear music in the background, It reminds me of a theme song. The theme of your dreams, I hear it echo, Entwined with my tears. It reminds me of my..</description>

			<title>Rock Angel</title>
			<description>Angel of despair, carved in rock, Cry your pebble tears. No longer can the torment be heard, For it rests within the center. Frozen in a time of pain, The tears, they just keep coming. But, as your desperate cries continue, Not a word is heard. Stay within your sheltered place, Let..</description>

			<title>Morning Musings</title>
			<description>The smell of the rain, It awakens my soul. Reminds me of a time when I felt so whole. Now we're apart and nothing is the same, Making us feel a longing pain. I still remember your gentle touch, It's no wonder why I miss you so much. I hold to my blanket each night, For it is the ..</description>

			<title>Richard's Laugh...</title>
			<description>Another beauty for challenge # 11. I was kind of surprised that this wasn't the first play that I wrote about...But I knew it would come, seeing as it's another one of my favorites. This is about Richard III's lie to Lady Anne.</description>

			<title>A Mother's Love</title>
			<description>A mother holds her daughter at night,Assures her it will be all right.A gentle song lulls her to sleep.No longer does this angel weep.A soft kiss to a small girl's head,As mother tucks her into bed.A mother's love, so pure and true,Like an angel, she'll watch over you.</description>
