Amanda Shelton (July 3,1981)
I was born in Bakersfield, July 3,1981. My mom and Dad were not marred
yet, but with in a year of my life they were marred in the court offices
downtown it was a small wedding. Family and friends gathering together
most of them don't even like each other. Then my brother came he was born
oct.22,1983. With in two years it was over. Life got very tough and to take
away my sorrow, I wrote poetry. It wasn't that good but with a lot of work I
wrote really good poetry. Years ahead I would get on the web to seek out
poetry forums none were good enough for me so I didn't give up and I ended
up finding PoemHunter.com. I have good reviews on my poetry. That makes
me happy. Like I say to everyone life is like wine it tastes so sweet so fine, it
gets better with time.
Works:
None hoping to in the future.

A Silence I Can Not Name
There is in life a silence
I can not name but it brings
with it sorrow and pain
for I have learned to feel in my
own silence to keep my feelings
locked up tight by lock and key
for I find it easier to feel in my own
silence thin to have others fell for me

Art is in the artists Hands.
Art is in the artist’s hands, turning color in to art of the promise land, we all wish we
had these hands, but it’s a gift that can't be taken in by any hands. They need to be
artists hands, all different colors even have a flow or tone but look at the beautiful
promises they have for me and you...

As Romeo and Juliet
May love lay with you a pond your chest
Breathe in the breath of life taste the better
sweetness of your youth, no now woman
like you now me for our love rings true for
all to see our stories well go on for centuries
to come for we are as Romeo and Juliet

Babe Sees For The First Time
The babe sees for the first time
with eyes wide open behold
the wonders of the world these
colors so bright for they are the
first to be seen at first site
first blues and greens yellows
circles and square triangles
and rectangles the mysteries
of birth learning to be children
of the earth.

Don't
Don't fall in love with me.
Don't look at me like that.
Don't kiss me like that.
Don't whisper in my ear.
Don't hold my hand.
I know it’s hard to understand
But my heart belongs to another man

In Silence I love You
In silence I loved you, but you never knew, from a far I watched you imagining me and
you together forever.

Life is Like Win
Life is like wine you take it from the vine
It tastes so sweet so fine
It get's better with time

Little Things
Who knows of little things, the poor, the sick, the dying, do the angels know of little
things? The poor have the streets, the sick have their beds, the rich have their money,
and the angels have God. So are you rich, poor, or sick, or are you one of Gods angels.
The little things in life are the most important in life’s journey to bigger things.

Live and breath poetry
Poetry is in my heart and soul; I live and breathe the written word. I dream of what I
can be in my own eyes. What can come out of these hands of mine? I see the words
that could be mine that these hands have written over time, I hope they will write
much more over the rest of my life

Love
My love is forever yours
My love is blind
My love is a river
My love is a runaway child
My love is a worm embrace
from my mother
my love is kind
my love knows no time
when you say these
words to your self
it well show you that
love comes in many
forms and it lasts forever

Love is to Me
Love is to me as warm as a
burning candle Love is to
me as bright as a sunny day
love is to me as a cool breeze
through the trees love is to me
is a smile that brightens up the
cloudiest days love is to me like a
boat drifting on a summer breeze
love is to me all of these wonderful
things love is more to me then any
cool summer breeze.

Loves Footprints
Love levels footprints in the sand.
Love makes the seasons of your
hearts change. Love is soft and quiet,
like dew on the grass, and trees.
Love is like the wind you can't see
it but you can fell it.

Moments
Each time I look at something I've loved knowing the differences that love make to our
hearts. I know then how lucky I am to have you in my life. I remember the little things
and times we've shared that made me happy, thank you for each and every moment
you gave my.

Mother Earth
Mother earth sighs as she open's her eyes
behind the blue of the sky were the stares
shine as she opens her hands to reveille
the moon she keeps the planet's all in tune

My Rhyme and Rhythm
What words shale I put in rhyme, and rhythm. In words that may have all sorts of
meaning, I bring to paper with pen or pencil the words I choose that live deep with in
me, so many times I have sat with words waiting to be heard to be read by eyes of
many should they like my rhyme, and rhythm leave their thoughts and leave my mark
upon their thoughts so they well take in my rhyme, and rhythm.

See Through the eyes
Come see through the eyes of the stares
come lesson through the ears of the falling rain
come drift through the softness of the clouds
come frolic through the grass with the deer
can you fell how God is near

Sun of Hope and Greed
The sun will set.
The sun will rise
Tomorrow will be
Another day, the sun
Will set the sun will rise
But only in Gods eyes,
He hears our cries
Our prayers of
Hope and greed
But we know when
The sun sets it will raise
To greet another day

Sunrise
The sun silently ran through the darkness and slowly became the sunrise, and the
silent’s was broken by the sound of the birds greeting the morning light.

Take my hands,

Takeing All Of Me
My hand take my hand, my life take my life, my heart take my heart, my breath take

That Like a Seed
The human soul is that like a seed; it struggles until it it's the bit of light it needs to
grow and blossom.

The Path of life
The path is striate but long and narrow; the birds sing their summer song of peace.
The children laugh and play, the sun forever shines, the thorns rip and tear at my
clothing and hair. I try to push them away but they steal scratch and tear, I have been
walking it seems forever down a path that never ends, but one day when I am tired I
well reach the end of my path and start a new.

The Place is You
You are my friend, my love, my forever Valentine. Love develops deep with in you, it
grows and is constantly changing. For all the time's I never saw the things I should
have, I think you for all the time's you understood, our deepest feelings never taken
away; for they live in words unspoken. In some long ago time softly and from afar I
loved you and yet you never new. Some meetings are fashioned by chance ours was a
gift of just. There is a place I run to when I m scared or lonely, I wonder if you know
that please is you? Thank you for sharing my hopes and hurts. I wish you love to hold
when you feel empty and about to cry. When your afraid and need someone to hold, I
wish you love to hold and love forever

The way you understood
For all the times I never saw the things I should have, I thank you for all the times you
understood, our deepest feelings never taken away for they live in words unspoken. In
some long ago time softly and from afar I loved you and you never new. Some
meetings are fashioned by chance ours was a gift of just. Thank you for sharing my
hopes and hurts. Thank you for all of the kind words that touched my heart...

The world I see
Ones I saw the
world I see being
developed in its own
tragedy, going were
no world should be
dyeing on its way
meeting its own gravity
Should the world I see
tell stores of war and it's
own great tragedy, or
should it tell how beautiful
this world is to see to remember
that all I see is beauty standing in
front of me.

Time Will Pass
Time well pass, these feelings won't last. The day won't last for ever, we have Intel
never; in tell we fade into the past.

Vows
Red lips, soft fingertips, the breath of beauty in her eyes. You can see cloudy days are
on their way. Once there was rain falling on her vows soaking in words that have no
meaning. But yet she goes on with her wedding.

Were I Belong
The wide open Spaces were the sun rises to the sound of the wind through the died
grass, were no trees grow, the fields of grain flow through the land far as the eye can
see, were the sunsets on the chill of the night, were the owl sets on a died tree stump,
were the rocks rise and cast a never ending shadows on anything in it's path towering
over the land. This is were I belong...

Your Fingtips
Your name is on my lips the soft touch of your fingertips like the sweetest tasting win.
Your hands are big but so soft to the touch. You gently touch my lips with your soft
fingertips, and I fall into bliss
