Poems from the heart by Kara shumaker (carter reed .TXT) 📖

Unseen Friend

Although you are a friend of mine and letters we exchange, I wouldn't know you on the street, and doesn't that seem strange?


You hold a place within my life, unusual and unique; We share ideals and special dreams, and still, we do not speak.


I picture what I think you are, perhaps you picture me. An intriguing game for both of us for someone we can't see.


So for this friendship we possess, we owe this mail a debt, Perhaps the charm lies in the fact that we have never met.

For My Best Friend

Friendship is something to hold on to But for me that's not the case Cause I don't feel I need to keep Something that can't be erased


I am sure of what I have Cause with you I have no doubt For what we've built, can't ever fail It's what I care about


I find it hard to describe This thing that we share Especially when there's nothing else That ever could compare


Others always know That together we will be For there can never be another "Tani and Kerrie"


Those two words, known all over Might as well be one Cause without a Kerrie, there is no Tani I'm sorry, it just can't be done


For you're the "U", and I'm the "S" And forever that will be Cause together we make "US", and so YOU COMPLETE ME!!

Between The Miles

Because existence can become severe in one day, just sense me and I'll be there. In the minds eye, I'm not so far away. If you hold out your hand, in the whispers, I'll become the zephyr. and besiege you. If your eye's upon the stars, in the crystalline darkness, I'll become the moon. And the light shall guide you. If you rest upon the ground, in the warmth, I'll become the grass. And embrace you. If you turn outside, in the wetness, I'll become the rain. An upon your forehead, kiss you. If you free the air, in the light of day, I'll become the sun. And smile for you.


Between the miles- if you need me. If you need a friend. Let me be the friend, I want to be.

Dance upon the wind

I wasn't looking for it, but some how it came, and found me. Before I had a chance to react, it wrapped it's warmth around me. Like a thief in the night, it has come and gone. I have nothing, but that vision to reflect upon.


Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind. All day long, in my mind, I walk love's lonely street. Like a tired man that longs to sit, but just can't find a seat. Then, there it was again, up ahead, to light my way.


Only to vanish once more, just like all my yesterdays. Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind. I don't know where I'm going, and where I've been isn't much to speak of. I just know my heart is always showing, leading me to some far off love.


Just when I give up the fight. Here it comes to make the bad things good, and the wrong things right. Only to leave me lost and lonely again. Drifting away as my thoughts dance upon the wind.


It has a name, I think they call it friend.

I want you back

you were always there for me always by my side I guess I couldn't see with out you I just can't abide


those times I loved the most were just talking with you who would've known now I'm all alone and all I can do is think of you


I loved it when you held me all safe and warm I felt no harm could touch me in your strong protecting arms


but then I messed up I really don't know why with you I broke up and now I am sorry


all I want, is a second chance I understand that's not easy to do even if you won't give me a glance I want you to know, I'll always love you

You

The first thing I think of When I think of you, Is your wonderful smile. The second would be your adorable laugh. I could go on and on, But the list would never end.


When I think of the short time That we've been together And of all of the happy memories we've already shared It amazes me to no end And I know that we were meant to be together. I look at you and see overflowing love, hope, and joy As well as charm, strength, happiness and dignity. With all of these wonderful qualities It's no wonder I love you so.

We Will Be Together Again

Not holding you in my arms is tearing me apart. Being away is something I never imagined from the start. I never thought we'd fall in love, so mad. I never realized life without you would be so bad. The gentle reassurance in your hand led me away to a make-believe land. Now my heart can't resist, but to yearn for your warmly embraced kiss. And being with you is something I miss. The things I'd give to have you in my arms - To just hold you close and protect you from harm. They said it will never work because of our age; To them my love for you was just a phase. When they came in our world and tore it apart, It soon became a broken-promise land of the heart. They don't know what we've been through, How much you love me and I love you. This can't be over; we're still not through. There's so much we haven't shared - so much we promised to do. I don't know how to hide my love enough so it doesn't show. I can't hold back and refuse to let go. If they only knew how you made me feel, With all the problems you helped me deal. How you taught me I was much more than I had ever thought - All of the Joy, Happiness, and Love to me you brought. You showed me I was beautiful outside and in, And showed me true love time and time again. One day I will return to you all you have given me, In some shape or form; soon you'll see. Send a message to my heart; promise me we will never part. One day we will be able to be together every day, And we won't have to worry what they say. So when the time comes, promise me you'll take my hand and be with me forever as long as we can.

I miss you

I miss your smile I miss your laugh I miss everything about you. I see you everyday and all I can do is smile and wave. When I really want you back I care so much for you. I don't understand what did I do?


I thought we would be together for so long You were so sweet and charming with you words you said. But something happened I don't know what went wrong I cried so hard just lying in my bed.


I say I am over you but I really know I can't forget you and I never will. I want you back and I love you so. You don't even care and don't even know.


I saw you the other day Talking to some girl I don't know I stopped and stared I just couldn't look away. It hurt so bad why did it have to turn out this way?


I guess we'll never be together again like I had wished. I'll never forget you and the times we had. The places we went and when we kissed. I don't hate you and I am not pissed.


I just miss you so but I guess you'll never know.

The Risk I Took To Love You

I've written these words to help you know The love, pain, and hurt that I never did show. I knew your cousin, my best friend was she, I was aware of that fact that you didn't know me. After some time, she introduced me to you. How surprising that we became friends too. At that time I had no feeling of this sort. I guess it's because - for me you were short. Not only that, but you were younger than I. It looked really funny when it was me you stood by, But after a while of laughter and fun, I had this feeling that I knew was too dumb. I started to like you - I don't know why. You just gave me a feeling that made me soar high. I knew in my heart that I couldn't let you know, Because of the risk, I kept it an easy-going flow. The days after that, our friendship was great, But then I thought, "What if I was too late?" I gave it more time, more consideration, In order that I would make a wise decision. I knew you wouldn't like me; the fact was so real. But what would I do with the emotions I feel? I gave it a try, but not so clearly to you, I just thought that I would give you a clue. I was afraid if I told you, my newest friend, Our fun and laughter would come to an end. Then it came the time to speak my heart, Even though I knew that our friendship would grow apart. When I told you that day, you took it so well, No longer in that decision would I have to dwell. The weeks after that went by so fast, But I knew that one day our friendship would no longer last. Soon I started to feel nothing like before, I guess you could say I liked you even more. But soon after a while, it started to come true, Farther apart I became from you. At first I didn't know what was going on, But as soon as I stepped into reality, you were already gone. Now you are just a picture, a dream in my mind, But trust me at times I'm happy when it's your memories I find. When I remember those times and recall your voice, I think of the past because I really have no choice. I tell you that at many times, you've wiped away my tears, And at many other times, you've thrown away my fears. Please don't ask why because I can't exactly say how, But it doesn't really matter because you're gone from me now. Just remember that at anytime, anywhere, To me you could look because I'll always care. Even though we went our own separate ways, I'll never forget our happiest of days. Tell me your problems, I'll understand. Tell me your needs, and I'll reach out my hand. But now that's just a fantasy, as true as it may seem. Yes, you my old friend are just a dream. For always I've wanted your hands to hold, Because I wanted your friendship, it was more valuable than gold. For one year, there were things you had said, That with your words and love, I was led To show you kindness and
