See the place for many, when empty.
But slowly now it starts to fill,
and the noise it begins to rise.
Faces friendly and faces not
looking to and fro,
for their own small space in that place.

They gather here and there, I notice
with the him or her they most prefer.
And every now and then I spot,
a certain he or she,
who is by chance or purpose,
making their place with me.

New Poem, Will I...

Will I...
ever regret not telling you,
all that I wanted to say,
all that I kept thinking.
...
That was only the first stanza click here to see the rest.
Often in movies and especially in TV the common drama is: I'm in love with him/her but if I say so we might lose our friendship. Normally the producers can get at least three seasons out of something like that.
Perhaps a little more honesty would do everyone in real life some good.

I wrote a new poem I just put it up for all y'all to see. I only put the first stanza here, click http://www.mattspoems.com/i-heard to read the rest of it.

Today I heard a flower,
and it whispered me, your name.
I couldn't resist so I picked it up
and now present it to you.
...

I hope you all enjoy it! ---Matt Wade

    Welcome to the Matt's new poetry blog. I hope you all ind the things I post to be interesting and informative. First a little bit about who I am.

    Who am I? I was born, and then I began the journey, the adventure, the great search, to find the answer to that question, "who am I?" Thus far I have found several answers. The first answer is, I am a christian. That is to say that I believe that a man, who was both God and human, named Jesus lived and claimed to be God. Jesus said that the only way to heaven was through him and he was killed for that statement. If I thought that the account ended there, then I would say he was probably crazy. I mean really a man who says he is God, that's ridiculous. But I believe that after being dead for three days this Jesus came back to life. It's because I believe he rose from the dead that I think he is God and all the things he said  were true and not delusional ramblings. And so I say I am a Christian and so I find part of "Who I am."

    Who are you?
