Arin Tumanuvao Poems

Take time to open your eyes,
to see all that is around you.
Take time to open your eyes,
to see all the colors of life.

Growing up, I thought everything was sunshine and butterflies.
The day that my Dad confessed, was the day that my sunshine turned into night, and the butterflies ceased to exist.
From then on, my life was nothing.
here is my story:
...

As I take a trip down memory lane,
I watch as the good and bad times shape me into the person I am today.
My life is not one of fortune or fame,
but I've learned that being on the bottom is okay.
...

I have to admit, that I've never fallen in love before.
I have never experienced the feeling of being thought of every second of every day.
I haven't just stood and smiled at the thought of wanting to be with that person, while there far away.
I've never felt lost because I want to feel their touch, or their lips on mine.
