A Simple Yet Powerful Step

We consider the biggest steps in life

As those that take the most courage;

A step in which we explore our very existence,

A step to realize that what we fear should be nothing at all...

Just like how the founders of our lands;

Those we thank for our lives on these soils,

Started with a simple yet powerful step;

To step into the unknown and explore this Earth...

To take such a step represents our humanity;

To look at a blurred line guarding an unknown world

And rebel against our fears, both mine and yours;

As we set foot upon the unseen land and finally understand...

Just like this, we looked up into the night sky;

Imagining what could become of us if we ever touched it,

To explore a world never understood by us for millions of years;

To fly into the night and explore yet another blurry world...

We sit here now at this very moment in time

To look up at the beautiful night

And realize that their journeys beyond ordinary;

Steps of unprecedented courage and curiosity;

Steps that challenged the fears of the entire human race,

Took us beyond the edges of our known reality

And brought us closer yet again to the meaning of our existence...

For millions of years our species has looked up and wondered,

Only fifty years ago did we finally take the leap of faith;

Another step in our exploration to understand our existence,

That one man carried the wonders of an entire humanity

As Yuri Gagarin flew higher than the rest and touched the night sky.

Heartbeats...

I stood beside her,

Sat beside her;

Holding her hand

As she breathed gently;

Inhaling and relieving my fear-

-of her loss...-

Exhaling and bringing the fear back...

...Yet I remained at her side

Grasping her hand

As if I were grasping my life,

Feeling the warmth of her hold

And sensing the life in her Heart...

...As the beats remained constant

No matter how slow the rhythm

The music continued...

...She opens her eyes and smiles;

Some things I will never forget;

I see no sickness

As I see her strength;

Becoming my inspiration

To live beyond living

As I see her struggling to survive...

...And continue to fight without fear...

...Her Heart continues to beat...

...Slower in pace...

...Revealing her endurance

Within each single beat

To defeat the Beast

That threatens to defeat her.

...I stand beside her;

An outsider would claim that I stand alone...

...I look inside and I see her hand in mine,

Her eyes and her smile,

Her Heart...

As it continues to beat...

I bowed my head to see my God,

I looked up to see her.

How Do I Tell You... ~Mix of Earlier Poems~

So I decided to combine a few ideas from past poems into one. This isn't the final product. I'm trying to make it a really really good love poem. Lol

_______________________________________

How do I tell you I love you...

Do I stand before you,

Isolated

Yet not alone,

Staring into your glimmering eyes;

Encompassing my feelings;

Becoming one with the ocean

Yet not lost at sea,

Breathing in what I must say

Creating air in this vacuum

So I may somehow tell you...

But how do I tell you...

I have sailed into this ocean;

Drifting endlessly towards you,

Your graceful star-like beauty

Drawing me closer to the center;

Where my burning love

From which my heart races

At the sight

And even the slightest thought of you;

In the form of speechless expression

In the form of darkness,

My heart drifting to collide,

And become one,

With yours. Somehow.

Where words;

Even the most complex,

Cannot within even a speckle

Describe your luminosity

Yet earth-bound humility

To which I have become drawn-

To where your gentle breathing

Takes my breath away.

In this airless breeze

Holding your soft hand;

Grasped by my heart;

Realizing that I cannot let you go

As you are your own emotion

Found within me

Where somehow I may show you...

Tell you...

I may never know how to...

Do I still stand where I stand,

A single line on a line-less map

Navigating with my heart as the compass

And you as the destination.

How do I tell you I love you...

How do I tell you...

Have I told you

that I love you.

I might be getting a DSLR camera very soon! Really excited for this because if you didn't know, I'm a huge fan of photography. Hopefully I can buy the Canon EOS Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Camera with the standard 18-55mm lens. Hopefully the BestBuy sale, which offers the XS model with the 18-55mm lens AS WELL AS the 15-200mm (I think) IS or VR lens (most likely VR lens due to the pricing) at around $700. However I'll probably start at around $500 by getting the Nikkon D3000 model. The Canon ones are much better but I'll start low first. Hope to take really beautiful pictures and post them on here!

A New Person...

(Everything I say here,

Remains confined,

Listed as my past;

Memories-

-and mistakes.

No matter the good;

Thankfully the bad as well,

Remain locked within this small

Compartment

Of my mind,

Remaining as distant memories;

Maybe even grim reminders,

That I may only reflect upon-

-but never reveal-)

To the new World that I enter,

Becoming a hopeful journey

For education

And independence.

I cannot say anything yet about what I may become;

What troubles and enlightenment I may face;

Who I may meet...

(But I know that I will have these historical inquiries

About myself to prevent those childish mistakes

Ever again.

These memories locked within my mind

Will serve as lessons...

And even hope,

As I will no longer be that dependent child)

I will become a New Person.

(Love)...

I feel that I will never be able to (say);

May it be in a (poetical love song

That arose from my heart; Thought too long).

I wish I could (tell you that the first thing I see

When you walk through the doors

Are your beautiful star-like eyes that shine

To mesmerize my emotions, Where I sacrifice my feelings

Until all I can willingly feel is enchanted love);

Unspoken (out loud).

I try to escape my mesmerized (confinement).

But the presence of such majestic beauty

(Where your unforgettable smile

Makes me feel that you are mine);

(The inner princess that you are,

Possessing a royal hold on my heart,

Where I would willingly submit

To your grace)(Yet I still cannot tell you);

It is as if every time I inhale to speak

(To express my feelings for you),

Your delicate, graceful beauty

Always finds a way to take my breath away

(Until all that remains is love).

Controlling Water...

The palms of his hands

Pointed towards;

Facing a pool of water,

Try to use telekinesis

To bring it to his control

And manipulate a lethal hold

On this natural element.

Every attempt

To bend this water

And the water beyond

One pool,

Fails every time

Regardless of Man's resiliency-

-To succeed;

A sad fact he cannot understand

(Within the element itself that

He refuses to comprehend,

Believing that nature will be tamed

When the truth remains

That a cycle will repeat

Which will drown him once again).

He directs his palms to the pool of water

And tries to take control

(Once again).
