Another Year Gone By

Another year  gone by,
a birthday passed,
my eyes full of tears.
I can't help but cry.
Another year gone by.

One less to spend with you.
I wish we could fly
away
and never die
There would be an endless supply
of love between us.
I do not know why
I don't simply enjoy the present time
we have
because it is only
another year gone by.

This Silly Poem From English Class

Words strung together to forms phrases
Scraping some meaning and symbolism from them
Teacher tells you this is what the author means
but I don't see it
but I don't see that message
but I don't see that symbol
in this silly poem from English class
I see something totally different
I see something that has made an impact
on me
and no one else
because I took the time to look at it
with my own eyes.

I'm Sunburned

The sun turns my white palette pink.
Its rays dance on my bare shoulders.
Unknowingly I allow this to happen
Only to wake the next morning
I can't touch the rosy areas without pain
I can't help but complain
It has happened again
I'm sunburned
