Angels are Here

Today, when I look
In the mirror
I honestly see
What is right there
In front of thee
And honestly say,
"I have a powerful destiny"
Because God speaks
Through my eyes to me.

This happens every day.
And has been for weeks.
It is all so clear.
It is all so beautiful.
Angels are here,
And they are watching over me.
Yes, they follow me...
And sometimes chase me!
When I run around all,
My guiding light,
My end of the tunnel,
I so welcome thee!
The angels are always near!
All day and night.

They never stop!
They work hard.
They are in the room.
They are in my car.
They are in the yard.
They have come far.
They came from the top!
And they are everywhere!
They are here for you, for me
Are here for every body!

I once kissed angel
And he became sin.
I didn't know how
It happened...because
I thought I loved him first
Before I let myself begin.
So what happens now?
Will he remain my friend?
I hope not...because
I want what isn't love
Just to come to an end.
And to learn my lesson.

And I learn...all the time
And I rhyme,
And I yearn,
And I grow
Like a fern.
And the angels are with me
Everywhere I go.
I am a garden, where love plants the seeds
My angels and I work diligently.
We pull out the weeds.
That's how I know
That my path is clear
For my powerful future.
My destiny.
The one I see 
When I look into me...
When I look in the mirror
I so thank God for this ability!

Coming Out of Me

My heart sings a song
Sometimes it just lacks melody.
Come on poem, come on...
Come outta me.
This is something I have to do.

I am a lover
A fighter
A survivor
I thrive...
I am beautiful , for you.
I am alive!
It's coming outta me,
I'm coming out, for you.

My soul,
My mind,
My heart
Are all combined
Yet, can be ripped apart
Don't do this, lover.
I share them with you.

You know what to do
With all three
And what not.
Or do you?
It's all coming out 
You bring it out
It's coming out now
Don't be so hot
With me. 
Is our love meant to be?
I am beautiful, for you.

Oh lover,
What are you
Going to do
To me, with me?
I still think
You know what & how.
My God, baby!
Don't make me sink.
I hope your heart is true.
The time is now
To show me.
Because mine is for you. 
Trust me, you'll see.
I am beautiful for you.

Hearts Among Us

Our hearts are all beating.
Some hearts with soul...
Some are warm, some are cold.
Some hearts are competing,
Some are bold.

Some hearts are beautiful
And some are cruel.
Some in love...
Some are sadly a fool.

We have all been one..
Of these before.
Mine was heavy...
Weighed a ton.
Now I am lifted...
I came undone.

Some hearts are bleeding..
Embedded with pain. 
Some are vein.
Some are blissing.
Some are crying
And some are weeding
Some hearts are missing
The ones they once loved and adore.

Hearts are beaming, some are scheming
Many, including mine, are dreaming 
Hearts are burning, yearning...
Living, loving, giving...
dying...
Kind, mean, astray...
And much more.

So, what kind today...
what kind of heart is yours.

A Kiss: I Love You

When my heart beats against his
I know that I am in love.
I couldn't ask for more...
I couldn't want more.
I've never felt this before.
It is a dream come true.
It's from Heaven above.
It all began with his kiss...
and him saying "I love you."


The angels are singing .
They are no longer crying.
My heart is living.
It is no longer dying.
It is a beautiful thing.
My wish has been granted
It is a dream come true.
It all began with his kiss...
And him saying, "I love you."


I wished for friendship.
I wished for trust.
I wished for romance...
And a little lust.
I wished for inspiration.
I wished for passion...
And attraction is a must.
I wished for so much.
I wished and I wished some more.

I never believed this
Could happen before.
Then I met him.
And I was shown something new.
My wish has been granted,
It's a dream come true.
It all began with his sweet kiss
And him saying, "I love you."

Want to be with You

When you awake
Empty in the morning 
I want to fill your heart
With my love.
Baby, yours wont ache
Ever again.

I never want us to be apart.
You are my lover,
You are my best friend
My sweet sensation
My blessing
My inspiration
My miracle from above.

I always want to be with you.
My heart is true.

I want to be with you.

Baby,  I miss you.
All I want to do...
Is be next to you.
Have you, hold me,
And kiss you.
Make sweet love to me.
Fill me up too.

I want to be with you...
I love you. 

I want to be with you...

Baby, I want to feel you.
Feel your heart beat
Next to mine.
Let's make our song...
Let's retreat...
And dance all night long.
It will be sublime.
Oh, the things I want to do.

Because I want to be with you...
Every day and all night too!

I always want to be with you.

The Story of Lovely and Me

1

It was on a warm summer day

When I was a little girl

I went to the playground

To run around n' play,

And to get on rides that twirl.

It got so hot, that I had a frown

It was time to have a cool down.

So I sat down in the shade.

It was then that I noticed a pretty sound.

Twas the breeze through leaves that swayed...

So peacefully, all around.

I had to look to up to see.

And gasped, wow! I was awed by her beauty!

I sat under a wondrous creation God made!

With millions of leaves dripping like gems
Of emerald and jade,
From branches to stems.

She was a gorgeous green, gigantic tree!

25,000 times my size, looking down on me.
Looking so wise.

I thought, How beautiful the view at the top would be!"

2

So, I stood up and walked to daddy,

And I pointed the tree out.

I said, "Daddy, will you please help me out?

So I can climb inside,

And see what she, my new friend is all about?"

He then sympathetically replied,

"Sweetheart, you have to wait til you've grown."

I asked ,"Why?"

I began to pout...and I wanted to cry.

He replied," Because I, too have a tree of my own."

I asked, "Daddy, where at?
Where is your tree?"

He then calmly yet firmly said to me,

"I can not tell you that."

And pointed to her saying,

"That tree is for you and my tree is for me."

You have to go your own way,

Someday, you will see." 

I said,"Oh, okay."

But I was puzzled, so I just walked away.

3

I walked back to my new friend

And studied her from the trunk to limbs end.

I smiled and said," Hello.

It is so nice to meet you,

But first I should greet you."

(I was one to pretend.)

I said to her, "I am going inside you

And I am going to explore,

And I plan to grow right beside you,

And make myself at home too,

Furthermore.

I hope you don't mind me,

I am new.

My name is Michi,
By the way.

And I already love you.

So, I will call you Lovely!"

At that instant, the breeze blew.

Her leaves rustled gently.

At that moment I knew,

She was talking to me.

Yay! Lovely and I were in harmony!

4

I wanted so much to get in!

So it was time to begin.

I gave her a big hug.

As mommy would put, 'a hug as snug 

As a bug in a rug.'

I tried to give myself a lift,

I tried a boost, push and shove!

Lovely was like a new gift.

She was my new friend.

So I tried, and I tried with so much love!

I wasn't going to stop.
All I wanted was to ascend.

I was willful indeed!

I wanted to see what it was like at the top.
So, I gave it my all from fingertips to toes end.

But couldn't move one foot above.
And I wouldn't let myself drop.

Thank goodness mommy

Said I  grew like a weed.

That would help out Lovely and me.
I kept trying til my knees began to bleed.

Then there she was, mommy was right there.
She knew I was in need.

But, she took me by the hand 

cleaned my knees & fixed my hair.
She said, What've done?
Now you stay over here."

I turned my head and said to Lovely,

"Good-bye for now, my sweet tree,
I had fun, more to come.
I'll be back.. in less than a year!"
Or if I am lucky, maybe weekly!
As I walked away, I admired her...she was so grand!
I felt on my face the warmth of a tear.

And spent the rest of my day building castles in the sand.

5

I returned to see Lovely
A half year older
And two inches taller
The weather was a little colder

Funny thing was, she didn't look any smaller.
She looked different, much bolder.
Here emeralds became amber and had fallen.
I approached her without fear.
I missed her so...
so much, so I had to let her know.
So I gave her a warm welcome, and didn't want to let go.
When I saw her, everything felt complete.
I said, "Hello Lovely, how are you my dear?"
Its been a long time, so glad I am here.
I was so happy to see her, so I just took a seat.

And there we were side by side.
I asked her, "Sweet Lovely, where do I start?
I wish you could help me get off my feet.
You know how I so want to be inside?
I wished it helped that I am smart.
Hey! You look pretty this time of year."
(I just then pretended to be mommy)
"Have you changed the color of your hair?"
"So Lovely my friend,
You called out to me,
Because you knew I have heart
And I've heard, have no fear...
And love you my sweet tree.
You spoke to me as your leaves rustled softly.
I never want us to part.
I am your friend to the end.
All I have to do is ascend...
Up your strong beautiful trunk.
But, you too...
Have grown since I've last seen you,
So I feel like I have shrunk!
Hmmm... Lovely my sweet tree, what should I do?"
I looked at her and heard no sound.
I heard no answers...
Her leaves laid on the ground,
Then suddenly twirled like they were dancers.
That is when I suddenly knew.
She wanted me to remain grounded for a little longer too.
My Lovely, an angel was she,
My sweet tree knew what was safe for me.

6

So whenever I returned
I returned to the park,
No longer the playground.
I sat under her shade.
I sat with her, read books and learned
While other children ran around
Wildly and played.
I listened for her pretty sound,
Whom she and her neighbor made.
Twas the breeze and her leaves that gently swayed.
Sometimes, I sat with Lovely
Until the sun would set.
I would lose track of time...
The passing hours I'd easily forget
Twas the sound of her and the breeze...
It always put my mind at ease.
It was a lovely melody,
Her own song that she played
So pleasant for my heart to hear.
With that, many days would fade.

7

I did this year after year...
I sat, had quiet lunches, read and learned.
Then one summer day it happened,
And my desire in big bunches to see everything returned!
I was ready, ready to ascend.
I wanted it so much, I was aching.
My heart pounded, I yearned!
It could no longer contend!
I stood up,looked at her and gave a gentle touch,
and said" Lovely, I am ready to try again.
You know that I love you very much.
You know that I have no fears.
I know the view is breathtaking.
And I have grown so much these past years.
I am ready for the making!"
So, I wrapped my arms high around her,
and brought my first foot that much higher,
And ascended myself with all my heart and desire!
Twas a day to celebrate...
For what I achieved!
I never felt so great...
before, I never gave up, & always believed!
And would have done so, if I wasn't ready to retire.
I made it to her lowest branch..
And could not go any longer.
I had to work harder to get to the top
And make myself stronger.
So, I sat on her shoulder for hour and hour,
And daydreamed while perched the remaining day.
After sunset, came down, said, Sweet adieu, I love you."
Walked home, took a shower...
And slept the night away.

8

I just loved to climb
My sweet Lovely as much as I could.
I wished it were daily.
If I had more time
To, than most definitely would.
Her sound, as sweet as a chime.
Yet, I was becoming a young lady,
As my mother would say.
She would giggle when I was off to see Lovely
And wondered why I couldn't stay away.
She thought because Lovely's spot was so shady.
And that was true...
So I left it at that, but I would see her for reasons
That no one else knew.
When with Lovely, I asked myself things
I thought nobody else should.
Lovely was an Angel with wings
She kept me out of the hood.
Her beautiful leafy wings
Where I could perch myself on.
And when I would do so
All my worries and concerns would grow
Wings of their own and soon would be gone.
I began to see Lovely through a different light.
She was there to guide me
And provide me with insight.
Lovely was so fantastic I would've stayed
With her all night!
So I nicknamed her "Love", for what she made,
And gave, everything always feeling so right!

9

When I was twenty
I thought I knew
And had everything I needed to.
I had a great lover, I had a cool car
I lived in cool condo
I heard I looked like a movie star!
I thought I could do anything I wanted,
And I felt so free!
But what I didn't know
Was that I was quite far
From being the real me.
Thank goodness for my Love.
She brought me to understand
The lessons I was too stubborn to see.
I learned things go better planned.
I would explore Love and stumble
Or go so far that I would fall.
Love taught me how to be humble..
To realize I didn't know it all..
By the time I was twenty-three,
I fell down, got up and tried
Again, sometimes, I even cried...
Time and time again, a many.

10

I would explore and explore
I always loved to adventure
So when I did, I'd want to see more
so I pushed my further
and extended myself higher.
With each new beginning I was more mature.
I was surfing the waves of desire!
Sometimes, I went too far
And would lose balance
Or go out on a limb and break a branch.
I would fall to the ground.
I injured myself, would heal, would scar.
But I never stop... I never heeled
First reaction was just to look round
I always kept taking a chance
Much more was to be revealed
And was glad that nobody would see
A fall, because I had my pride.
I didn't want anyone to see weakness in me!
So I would fall, get back up
I took the mistakes I made in stride.
Dust myself off to start again
And soon realized that if the lesson's learned,
The the mistakes made are meant to be.
I no longer carried the ashes from the bridges burned.
I would remember mom's voice,
It can happen to you, it can happen to me."
Most important lesson learned is that I had a choice.
Love and life revealed I am in charge of my destiny.

11

Love was always there with me...
Through the years, through the tears and today.
When I believed I saw a fairy,
When everything was make believe,
Love was there every time I went outside to play.
When I fell down and broke my first bone,
And pretended to break my crown .
When I went to Disneyland and didn't want to leave.
Love was there for me.
Through a broken home, divorce, first time I felt alone
Love was there.
Even when I ran-away...
From what? I didn't know.
But just like Love, I continued to grow.
She was there with me...during my journey.
Love never left me stray.
Love was there.
Love was there for me...
Every single day.

First boyfriend, abuse, heartbreak, breakup and victory.
Yay! Love was there for me.
Partying, alcohol, experimental drugs,
Good friends, bad friends, long cries, warms hugs.
Love was there, She was there...
Even when I wanted to pull out my hair,
Though I wouldn't dare!
She was always there..
Through a few loves, a few hates,
Love was there when I didn't know how to.
Through miracles, child bearing,
Near death accident, body wearing and tearing
Broken rules the law regulates.
Love was always there....
When I felt big and when I felt small
Love was there through it all.
Love was always there.

12

Then there is success and strive,
And what makes me stronger.
When I think about it all, I think Wow!
If I knew then what I know now.
This is life and it goes on much longer..
I am so grateful to be alive.
I live here, Love is here!
And I do now know how.
I know now what makes me thrive.
The lessons still happen, and the good...
It always makes its full circle back to me.
Love and life is more understood.
Love, my beautiful, gorgeous thriving tree
Was she... that transformed into my life to live
With experiences perched at unreachable heights.

I understand now Daddy what you meant that day.
It was the best advice that you could give.
You too, mommy...you taught me everything you knew.
You both taught me how to give.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
You gave me the room to learn wrong and the rights.
You let me be me out and about,
Your wild tree climbing adventurous child,
Days and nights.
And you always believed in me.
You allowed the room to explore and be free.
And just like a tree, I always reached for the sky
My life is just like Love the tree
And understand why.
I do finally see!

You are Love for me.
Yes, I climbed, I fell..
So often, I began to do it well
At times I even had to crawl..
And get up again, wipe the dust of my shoulder,
Because from high levels, I wanted to see it all.
I do this still even though I am older...
Simply for the experiences that inspire me.
And the view, awwe, the view is as beautiful
As I always imagined it to be!
Life is Love, life is lovely!
My heart sings this song with glee...
Love is here for me!
