Hi, nice site u have here, the calling rock. Just wanted to add one of my poems to the site, hope u like it....are u sitting comfortably? then i'll begin.

Listen

Do I Listen to what I�m hearing? What I�m Saying, Or What Is Said?
What is saying the things I�m hearing? Is It Truth or lies instead?
I listen to my feelings, the constant beating of my heart,
But when my mind speaks its mind, I can�t tell those feelings apart.
Sometimes I�m happy at present, being told what I want is already there
Other times I listen to ballads, your sweet scent filling the air.
Thinking of you, thinking of me, listening to all your thoughts,
At times I feel we bond beyond belief, psychic understanding, of sorts.

Like A child, unsure, jaded by past, you look with diversion of trust
Your, the same, Is my brand new, your possibly, I see as my must.
You have climbed the steps, so silently, no faulty boards, not a creek,
What must it take on the penultimate step to make just one final leap?
If you ever made that final leap I will hold you close forever
But my encouragement may just be my fear, the finality of the word never.
Never together, never like that, never us, never you and me only,
I don�t want to regret it by the time its too late, when the chance has gone
by,
when I�m lonely.

Listening to the evening breeze, waiting for it to call your name,
Indecision haunting me, yet I still feel the same.
I should be in love, but its different with you,
Is the difference love? If only I knew.
Your friendship means so much, like it never has before,
My mind is asking; Why? I care about you far more.
Will I ever know? I don�t know, but the future is not yet in sight,
All I know now is I love you as I should, and at this moment that feels
right.

Do I Listen to what I�m hearing? Looking deep for the answer that�s true,
Yes I do Listen to what I�m hearing, because now, all I�m hearing is you.

By Alden Smith
