"LOVING YOU"
BY: MELANIE M.

TO ME YOU'RE LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE
WHEN IN NEED, I CAN COUNT ON YOU
TO MAKE ME HAPPY, NEVER SAD
THERE THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD

SPENDING TIME, SHARING DREAMS
THIS IS WHAT TRUE LOVE MEANS
HOLDING HANDS, KISSES SO SWEET
SO CLOSE TO YOU, FEELING YOUR HEART BEAT

TO ME YOU'LL ALWAYS MEAN SO MUCH
THE WAY YOU HOLD ME, THE WAY YOU TOUCH
THE WAY I FEEL FOR YOU IS TRUE
I CHERISH EVERYTHING YOU DO

LITTLE SECRETS SHARED HERE & THERE
NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER COMPARE
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME
IS TO OPEN MY EYES & SEE THINGS I NEVER COULD SEE

YOU ARE MY ONE & ONLY LOVE
SENT FROM THE ANGELS UP ABOVE
I ALWAYS KNEW DREAMS COULD COME TRUE
THAT IS WHY I'LL ALWAYS BE LOVING YOU




<3 BURNING LOVE <3
BY: MELANIE M.

CARRY ON, HE SAID AGAIN
I SAID I CAN'T, YOU'RE MORE THAN A FRIEND
I HURT INSIDE, LITTLE DOES HE KNOW
BUT PAIN AND SADNESS I CAN NOT SHOW

I WANT TO WIN THIS, BUT I HAVE A DOUBT
I NEED TO BREAK FREE, AND SCREAM AND SHOUT
IT HURTS TO HOLD OLD FEELINGS WITHIN
I'M FEELING THE WORST I'VE EVER BEEN

CRYING AT NITE, FEELING LONELY AND COLD
I'LL GET OVER THIS, I AM TOLD
BUT WHEN? I WONDER...ITS BEEN SO LONG
FALING IN LOVE SOMETIMES FELT WRONG

EMPTY INSIDE, I SIT AND WAIT
THE ROMANCE WE HAD,WAS ONCE SO GREAT
TIRED I AM, I CLOSE MY EYES
BUT SECRETLY INSIDE, MY HEART CRIES

L-O-V-E
BY: MELANIE M

IT'S A FEELING THAT TOUCHES YOU DEEP
YOU BECOME ALIVE AND FREE SPIRITED
WHY DOES IT CONFUSE SO MANY
BUT YET BRING SOME TOGETHER?

IT PLAYS TRICKS
AND SOMETIMES FOOLS
IT HAS ALL THE POWER IN THE WORLD
YOU CAN MAKE IT, BUT NOT BUY IT

SPECIALLY SHARED WITH ANOTHER
AND ONCE YOU EXPERIENCE IT
YOU KNOW IT IS THE BEST FEELING
AND YOU WILL CHERISH IT FOREVER

~ THE OCEAN ~
BY: MELANIE M

PUSHING UP AGAINST THE SHORE
LEAVING TRACES IN THE SAND
FEAR & WORRIES, THERE ARE NO MORE
ALMOST AS IF HOLDING A HAND

CALM AND PEACEFUL I FEEL INSIDE
WATCHING AS THE EARTH DISSAPPEARS
SEEING THE HIGH OF THE TIDE
FEELING THE VIBES OF TRANQUILITY IT SHARES

I FEEL MYSELF LOST AT SEA
WONDERING HOW NATURE DOES THIS
PRIDE AND BEAUTY OVERCOME ME
GIVING THE FEELING OF A FIRST KISS

NITE PREVAILS AND THE MOON SHINES DOWN
LEAVING SHADOWS TO FILL MY SHOES
I SIT, WATCH, AND WAIT AROUND
TILL MORNING ARRIVES WITH A SKYFULL OF BLUES

=) A BEST FRIEND (=
BY: MELANIE M.

SOMEONE TO LISTEN
TO WIPE YOUR TEARS
KNOWS HOW YOU HURT
CRYS WHEN YOU CRY

CAN KEEP A SECRET WHEN TOLD
SHARING SPECIAL MEMORIES
GOOD TIMES, AND LOTS OF LAUGHS
SADNESS AND FEARS BEING TOLD

LOOKING OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER
BEING AS ONE, A TEAM
HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN YOUR HEART
ALWAYS TOGETHER YOU WILL BE

RESPECT IS HONORED
LOVE IS GIVEN
TRUST IS PROVIDED
A FRIENDSHIP IS BORN

DESPERATE HEARTS
BY: MELANIE M.

THINKING ABOUT YOU DAY AND NIGHT
A FEELING SO STRONG, IT PULLS SO TIGHT
AND IT HURTS, AND BURNS TO LEARN TO LET GO
TIMID AND ASHAMED, I FEEL IT SHOWS

HOLDING HANDS, A HUG AND KISS
FLIRTY TALKS, OH HOW I DO MISS
SINCERE THOUGHTS, HELD ASIDE
IN YOU I FELT I COULD CONFIDE

I GUESS IT'S TRUE OF WHAT THEY SAY
LOVE CAN COME, BUT THEN GO ONE DAY
THE SCENT OF YOUR COLOGNE STILL REMAINS
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY GRIEF AND PAIN

I HURT AND YEARN FOR SOMETHING MORE
HOPING YOU'LL WALK BACK THROUGH THAT DOOR
ITS OK, A GIRL CAN DREAM
AND TAKE AWAY FROM REALITY OF HOW LOVE MAY SEEM

AN ODE TO MOTHER
BY: MELANIE M.

MY MOTHER, MY FRIEND YOU ARE SO DEAR
ALWAYS HAVE A WAY TO SHOW YOU CARE
A WARMING HUG WHENEVER IN NEED
THERE TO TELL ME I WILL SUCCEED

MY MOTHER, MY FRIEND YOU ARE THE ONE
WHO TAUGHT ME HOW THINGS GET DONE
MADE ME REALIZE I HAVE A GIFT
ALWAYS THERE TO GIVE ME THAT LIFT

MY MOTHER, MY FRIEND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
ALWAYS FIXING THINGS, WITH A SPECIAL TOUCH
THERE TO WIPE MY TEARS DRY
LENDING A SHOULDER WHEN I CRY

MY MOTHER, MY FRIEND I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY
WITHOUT YOU I WOULDN'T BE WHO I AM TODAY
I AM PROUD TO SAY YOU ARE MY MOM
AND WANT TO THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE



PROMISES LAST FOREVER
BY: MELANIE M.

HOLDING IT IN, QUIET AS CAN BE
PROVING YOU CAN TRUST IN ME
TOLD YOU I'D BE HERE FOR YOU
MY FRIENDSHIP FOR YOU IS TRUE

MEMORIES AND FEELINGS SHARED
OVERCOMING THINGS WE ONCE FEARED
GROWING APART AS WE GOT OLDER
ALWAYS THERE TO LEND A SHOULDER

HOW TIMES DO REALLY CHANGE
MY WHOLE LIFE HAS RE-ARRANGED
THERE IS ONE THING THAT I DO KNOW
I WAS NEVER AFRAID TO LET MY FEELINGS SHOW

NOW YOUR GONE AND IT IS TOO LATE
I WISH I HAD TOLD YOU AND DIDN'T WAIT
I PROMISED MY HEART WE WOULD BE TOGETHER
AND MY PROMISE WILL LAST FOREVER

** MISSING MY LOVE **
BY: MELANIE M.

YOU COME TO ME IN A DREAM
FAR AWAY ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS
VISIONS DANCE THROUGHOUT MY HEAD
AS I LIE ALONE, COLD IN BED

IT'S LIKE YOUR WITH ME...AT MY SIDE
BUT A PART OF ME HAS DIED
ICE COLD TEARS ROLE DOWN MY FACE
IN MY HEART YOU HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE

I WISH YOU HADN'T GONE AWAY
I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY
ALONG WITH YOU, WENT MY HEART
YOU PROMISED WE WOULD NEVER BE APART

I KNOW YOU WENT CAUSE IT WAS RIGHT
BUT I STILL SEE YOU IN THE LIGHT
IT'S QUIET AND PEACEFUL, AND YET SO SWEET
BUT I KNOW THAT ONLY IN MY DREAMS AGAIN WE'LL MEET

~THE ANGELS DANCE~
BY: MELANIE M.

A BRIGHT LIGHT FROM UP ABOVE
CALM AND PEACEFUL LIKE A DOVE
SHINING DOWN OVER ME
A BEAUTIFUL RAY, THT ONLY I DO SEE

FILLING ME WITH STRENGTH AND SPIRIT
A SOFT WHISPER, AND ONLY I DO HEAR IT
SOUNDS SO SWEET, BUT YET SO FAR
SHINING THROUGH THE DARK LIKE A STAR

ALWAYS THEIR TO GUIDE ME THROUGH
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM, WISH I KNEW
FOLLOWING THE VAGUENESS AND STARDUST
WHEN IN TROUBLE..IT'S YOU I TRUST

WHEN IN A DILEMMA, YOU ALWAYS ARRIVE
ENCOURAGING ME TO GO ON AND STRIVE
IN YOUR DIRECTION, I TAKE A GLANCE
AND SOON DISCOVER HOW ANGELS DANCE

~*~ONE NIGHT STAND ~*~
BY: MELANIE M.

A KISS SO SOFT ON THE LIPS
HANDS SLIGHTLY TOUCHING THE THE HIPS
ROCKING TOGETHER IN A MELODY
AND FLOWING TO A RHYTHM OF TRANQUILITY

LIGHT WHISPERS IN THE DARK
NOTICING A LITTLE SPARK
TENDER HANDS TOUCHING EACHOTHER
YET THEY REALIZE THEY ARE LOVERS

HEAVY HEARTS POUNDING SOUND
STILL THERE IS NO ONE AROUND
NIGHT HAS ENDED AS DAY IS NEAR
AS ONE'S HEART BEGINS TO TEAR

GETS DRESSED
AND UP THEY GO
THEIR FACE AGAIN
WILL NEVER SHOW


THE STALKER
BY: MELANIE M.

CREEPING UP, YOU'RE VERY SCARED
THE FEELING OF SOMEONE NEAR YOU
FRIGHTENED BY THE SOUND OF BREATH
NERVOUS TO TURN AROUND

WALKING AT A FASTER PACE
ALMOST IN A JOG
HEAVY FOOTSTEPS FOLLOW FASTER
YOU BEGIN TO RUN

SWEAT POURING DOWN YOUR FACE
WHAT DO YOU DO
RUN FOR HELP AS FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU DONT WANT THEM TO CATCH UP

REACHING HOME YOUR WORRIED
TURN ON THE LIGHTS AND CRY
CALL FOR HELP ONCE MORE
ITS ONLY A SHADOW...YOU BECOME SANE ONCE AGAIN

~*~ WHAT HAPPENED ~*~
BY: MELANIE M.

WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?
I WISH IT WASNT SO
IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE ME
I NEVER WANTED TO LET YOU GO...

LAUGHS AND LONG WALKS
SPENDING TIME WITH YOU
SECRETS AND LITTLE TALKS
MY FEELINGS FOR YOU ARE TRUE

LITTLE KISSES HERE AND THERE
TEARS AND SECRETS HEARD
I WANT TO TELL YOU I STILL CARE
BUT YOU WONT LISTEN TO A WORD

HOW I MISS YOU EVERYDAY
MY HEART CANNOT REMEND
WHY COULDNT YOU JUST STAY?
EVEN AS A FRIEND

NOW I'M LEFT ALONE AND SAD
FILLED WITH HEARTACHE, I AM MAD
BUT I STILL LOVE YOU


HIDDEN LIES
BY: MELANIE M.

TRYING TO HOLD IT IN
WHY DOES IT HURT?
YOU WANT TO SCREAM
BUT YOR WORRIED

YOU WONDER AS TIME PASSES ON
WILL THEY EVER KNOW?
YOU WANT TO SHOUT
BUT NO ONE WILL REPLY

TEARS ROLL DOWN YOUR CHEEK
THEY DRIP SOFTLY
FINGERPRINTS MELT THE SOUL
WORRIES FILL THE HEAD

PAIN BECOMES HEAVY
AS THOUGHTS BEGIN TO FORM
END COMES NEAR
DARKNESS TAKES OVER

COURAGE COMES FORWARD
DIGNITY IS REGAINED
PRIDE IS ESTABLISHED
TRUTH IS FULLFILLED

~*~ WANDERING EYES ~*~
BY: MELANIE M.

LEFT TO RIGHT WHERE DO THEY GO
AND WHERE THEY STOP, NO ONE KNOWS
SPOTTING SOMETHING WORTH THEIR WHILE
TRYING TO HIDE IT WITH DENIAL

CONTINUED PATTERNS KEEP ON GOING
PULSE GETS HEAVY, AS BLOOD KEEPS FLOWING
STARING INTO A DAZE
INTO THEIR PATH, SLOWLY THEY GAZE

FINALLY THEY CATCH YOU, AND FALL SO DEEP
FALLING HEAVY, ALMOST READY TO SLEEP
READING WHATS ON THE OTHERS MIND
SECRETS AND FEELINGS SOON YOU'LL FIND

HOPES AND DREAMS YOU START TO SHARE
NO OTHERS COULD EVER COMPARE
LENDING A HAND TO HELP THE OTHER
THE FIRST LOOK, YOU KNOW YOU'RE LOVERS



" LIFE'S CHOICES "
BY: MELANIE M.

KNEES SHAKE, HANDS TREMBLE
BREATHING BECOMES HEAVY
SWEAT BEGINS TO POUR
ONE'S HEART CANNOT RESIST

THE TOUCH AND FEEL
ITS LIKE NUTHIN BEFORE
A WHOLE NEW WORLD TO EXPLORE
A JOURNEY FOREVER ONGOING

SCARED TO GO AHEAD
BUT SCARED TO FALL BEHIND
DO YOU GO? OR NO?
CONFUSION REMAINS

CHOICES RE-ARRANGED
THOUGHTS EXPRESSED
EMOTIONS SHARED
APOLOGIES ACCEPTED

FIRST IMPRESSION
BY: MELANIE M.

IMPRESSIONS ARE MADE WITH THE FIRST GLANCE
AS ONES HEART BEGINS TO DANCE
SOME TOUCH OTHERS, AND MELT THE SOUL
WHILE OTHERS TAKE THE HEART AS WHOLE

LEARNING TO TRUST, LOVE AND CARE
SLOWLY ERASING ALL YOUR FEARS
OUT OF THE BLUE THERE THEY STAND
ALWAYS THERE TO LEND A HAND

GAINING RESPECT AND DIGNITY
YOU'VE TAUGHT ME TO FIND THE "REAL" ME
LIKE A CIRCLE, IT NEVER ENDS
IT'S GREAT TO KNOW I HAVE A FRIEND



<3 HERE TO STAY <3
BY: MELANIE M.

WISHES AND DREAMS...QUITE A FEW
BUT SOMEWHERE THERE IS SOMEONE THINKING OF YOU
WANTING YOUR SMILE, THINKIN ITS WORTH THE WHILE
TO SIT AND WAIT, POSSIBLY ANTICIPATE

DREAMIN OF WHAT IT COULD BE
IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE
THEIR FEELINGS FOR YOU ARE TRUE
THE DESIRE TO BE THERE HOLDING YOU

WHY ITS SO HARD, NO ONE KNOWS
NOT EVEN HOW A FEELING GROWS
WHEN IT HITS YOU, IT KNOCKS YOU OFF YOUR FEET
FROM DAY ONE, WHEN YOU FIRST MEET

PULSES THROBBING, HEARTS BEATING FAST
KNOWING THAT THIS MOMETN CAN'T PASS
THE URGE TO TOUCH, AND EVEN FEEL
MAKING SURE THAT THIS IS FOR REAL

LIKE A CHILD, ALL HAPPY INSIDE
NOT TO BE OBVIOUS, TRYING TOH IDE
YOU WANT TO SHOW THEM IN EVERWAY
THATS YOU LOVE THEM AND YOUR HERE TO STAY

THE GOOD OLD DAYS BY: MELANIE M

CAN WE EVER BE AS ONE?
WHEN WILL THE DAYS...TURN TO FUN
HOW DID WE LET IT SLIP AWAY
HERE..ALL ALONE..I LAY

LOOKING BACK AT OLD MEMORIES
SEEING HOW THINGS USED TO BE
TEARS NOW TAKE OVER MY EYES
AS STORIES TWIST AND TURN TO LIES

I CAN'T MAKE YOU BELIEVE ME OR EVEN TRY
ALL I CAN DO IS WONDER WHY?
HOW DOES ONE'S SELF, DO SUCH A THING
MISERY, AND PAIN IS ALL IT DID BRING

TOGETHER WE CONQUERED SO MANY THINGS
GROWING UP, GRADUATION, COLLEGE, SUMMER FLINGS
THE CLOSER WE GREW, THE FARTHER WE BECAME
AND OUR FRIENDSHIP THEN, LOST ITS NAME

I MISS THOSE DAYS, WHEN NOTHING WAS WRONG
WHEN WE ALL WOULD SING TO OUR FAVORITE SONG
I WISH IN SO MANY WAYS
THAT WE CAN GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS
(*DEDICATION TO THE ORIGINAL "M"SQUAD! *)


What Do You See

Do you see me, like I see you
Do you believe
The sky will always be blue



I dream of you everynight...
Holding onto
My pillow tight...

When I wake I see your face
I know my heart, has reached a place

A place in which
I'll never leave
A comforting place
And I'll always believe

I'll always believe
We were meant to be
I'll always believe...
Forever you and me

So back to my question
Please answer it true...
Do you see me
Like I see you?

* I would like to take this moment to send this section of my poetry page to my boyfriend Joel. He is a HUGE fan of NASCAR...and about a month ago, a Legend passed on. So at this time, I dedicate this piece to the INTIMIDATOR himself *

DALE EARNHARDT
1951-2001

Heaven 500
-ANONYMOUS

The Heaven 500, was just getting started, an All-Star race, for the racing departed. Heroes of the track, with nerves like steel, and sitting on the pole, was a cat named Neil. Adam Petty was there, with his beautiful smile, Kenny Irwin determined, to finish in style. Lee Petty was glowing, with that Grandfather pride, with Davey & Clifford, both in a new ride. Fireball Roberts, floated in on a cloud, while Tony Roper waved, to the Heavenly crowd. Morrosso & Nemecheck, then Tim Richmond appeared, Al Kulwicki strapped in, while the racing fans cheered. The honorary starter, for this Heavenly race, Ralph Earnhardt was chosen, a tear on his face. But the red flag flew, just before it had begun, and every eye, was open wide, and looking to the SON. A last minute entry, was the cause of delay, while the fans were instructed, to kneel and to pray. The Heavens turned black, and the clouds turned dark, the lightning was brilliant, the thunder did bark. Then out of the rumble, for all there to see, the clouds formed a number, a black number three. The Heavenly fans, then erupted with pride, and welcomed this star, who had recently died. With a bolt of lightning, Dale Earnhardt arrived, as he stood before Jesus, his spirit revived. Jesus hugged his precious child, then revealed his perfect plan, "I brought you home, to let you know, that I'm your biggest fan!" "The Intimidator was needed, for this Heavenly race, leaving all of your earthly fans, with honor & with grace." Ralph Earnhardt then stepped forward, embracing his son, then whispered in the ear of Dale, "Let's go and have some fun!" As Ralph stood proud, the green flag flew, the crowd went wild and the tension grew. And just like Salvation, the admission was free, as every eye focused, on the black number three. When the checkered flag dropped, no dry eyes remained..It was a photo finish, as Jesus explained. He said, "There are no losers, on this Heavenly track, this was a welcome home party, for The Man In Black!"
