Extra Time
How weird and random is the day
That comes but once in four
But I am thankful ‘cause it gives
A chance to love you more

Casual Kind of Love
Can you believe it wasn’t that long ago when we first met, and nervously said hello, and how are you, and the unnecessary small talk and jokes to calm a nervous stomach? Now we’re old friends like we’ve known each other our whole lives, and I am completely comfortable with you, like we always belonged together.

Vivid
They say I dream in black and white but when we are together- even in the darkest of night I swear I dream in color.

My Little Angel
Her eyes are heavy but her heart is light satisfied by the day that she’s now spent for although she hurried from place to place not resting as her long day turned to night nothing could pull the soft smile from her face. She knows nothing of the reality of how she should worry about the way her smile can control the sun in my sky; never knowing how everywhere she went her carefree laugh had...

Your Love is My Light
Will this night ever break into the bright day you promised would come, because it would help to see redeeming, revealing, light fall upon me and my life; for as I sit here in my darkness I find that I am lost, it’s too dark for me to hear my voice inside my heart; the night steals the words before they ever leave my lips, and once again I wonder, will this night ever break?

40 Watt Friend
‘Cause sometimes I pretend this light that hangs so low is not my only friend but in my heart I know the sickly glow it casts though dim is bright enough to light my hidden pasts within the shadows stuffed and I can clearly see the reason for my state who’d want to be with me and share in such a fate resigned I pull the chain in darkness to remain

Sounds of Sadness
Sometimes I wonder what sound a breaking heart makes. Is it sharp like a terrible clap of thunder? Or perhaps more discordant like screeching tires; of course no one knows for sure if a broken heart is loud like shattering glass or delivered in mind-numbing surround sound volume, but I, I would imagine, a truly broken heart to be more similar to the softest random...

Instead
the blue glow of the screen illuminates your face, and reflected in your glasses I see the world you immerse yourself in small and constricted within a black bezel and living only as long as the weak battery allows, and yet you choose it, you choose a world shown within a 10 inch window instead of the beauty of this world surrounding you in living color, instead of the world I’m...

Story-Telling Eyes
her eyes tell a story her lips never could but I read carelessly and not very good because now in the end I find it’s just me all alone to pretend I knew what would be but the truth is I skipped the final chapter where she altered my script to live without her

Slow Repair
You’ve healed my broken heart but be patient as I heal no longer torn apart I must learn again to feel. The cold and hollow place that has grown inside of me in time love will replace with warmth and security.
You told me you believe I saw it from the start I promise you’ll receive my newly mended heart.

Heaven Answered
Those nights I spent just staring at the sky.
The hours my faithful prayers with heav’n were shared
as fervently I pleaded to know why
my life was empty and nobody cared.
The nights stretched on and hope grew ever dim.
Perhaps a life alone was meant for me,
could I be destined for a fate so grim?
To live and die as chance alone would see.
But prayers I sent into the air above
were...

Bridged
His hands are outstretched as he pleads for the one he needs. The distance between grows greater as the chasm widens such a minute crack when it first began now a gap spread too wide to bridge and he can only hope that this distance too great for his arms is not too great for her love

Carefully
I knew this day would come, a
Grand and glorious day when In a moment of cautious and Very careful deliberation with Emotions reigned in just as
Much as I possibly could I Yielded to the voice in my Head, the one that told me how Everything was as it should be And now was the moment, the Right time, to do what I had Thought and planned so
Thoroughly for. And I knew the Only thing stopping me...

An Example
These dripping leaves hang low
burdened ‘neath their weight;
the sorrow which they show
speaks about their fate,
for long before this day
destined they would be
to suffer in this way
so that I could see
the way the strong endure
when the clouds arise.
In hope I stand secure
as tears roll from my eyes.

I Love Her Hair
It’s the way she grabs her hair

No More Night
The hours dissolve into the shadows deep as darkness rises o’er the shine of day, though earth should try the setting sun to keep a blood red glow the only sign to stay. For though the stars are beautiful and bright, and though the moon assurances would give no twilight wonder can provide the light which gives to man the surety to live. For when the sun is shining overhead we think not on...

I Wouldn't Change A Thing
Your words inspired me to think a bit differently-and
to share the world which I see, when looking through
my jaded view at a never changing you- oh,
the way you stared when I dared- when
my heart I shared, but you left me seeing
there was no sense in being- hopeful
for a love so fleeting. Ours paths had once met
and I would bet, that I shall never regret- the
nights of fun and the days in...

I believe I can do anything not because I’m some super hero but only because I have one thing held tightly in the love which you show the confidence I need to go on the strength to do the things that seem hard for your deep, deep love helps me press on my fear and trembling I’ll not regard I rise today with my head held high to greet the sun shining in my sky

I Wanted the Moon
I spoke of forever, of dreams bigger than me, I was never going to give up or lose my desire of trying to pull the moon from the sky, from trying to hold the stars in my hands, but my words of love fell short, stars slipped from my fingers as you slipped from my life; now I can only dream.

At The End
At the end of me with no where to go, it’s then that I see- you already know the right words to say and just the right tone to show in your way that I’m not alone for you’re by my side my strength you will be- in you I can hide, and no one will see the tears that I shed or depths of my fear. To you I...

Upon the wings of love I fly tonight your gracious words of hope and love my wind I rise above the cares of mortal flight into ethereal realms I ascend the glowing moon reflects in silver beams across the clouds which glide beneath my soul a silent witness to your whispered dreams even the heav’ns are under your control but even as I make my way to you I close my eyes to fight the coming...

You cannot see the wind but merely its effects you feel its soft embrace and know that it exists you do not know just when or where it once began but only where it is when in the present felt- much like the wind that blows my love you cannot see but feel its soft embrace and know that it exists you cannot see its past nor can you see ahead but here within my arms you’ll feel my love’s...

Nap in a Hammock

For a Moment, For Ever
The brevity of life so oft forgot, here for a while, then vanishing away. We carry on without a second thought with willful ignorance we try to stay forever young, deny mortality, and only think of what we want to do: to seek out happiness, where e’re it be. Alone, we search for love to see us through. But few will fill the longing in their hearts, and fewer still will ever know the truth-...

A Quiet Mind

Dreams
My eyes are growing heavy.
The world around starts to fade,
midnight colors pull on me
with a royal purple shade.
No fine details left to see
only outlines ‘gainst the sky
of the things that used to be.
On the dust of stars I fly,
in the night I am set free
to drift far from the present
to a place where we were we;
to a place where we were meant.

Stand Up
You want to go? Let’s go. I won’t back down I won’t backup I did not slip nor did I stutter there are times when fault lies solely upon my shoulders and I will take that blame and I will own my faults… but not today, no, today was all on you, all on you. So - you want to go? Let’s go.

Stolen Heat
You said your hands were cold and wrapped them around my heart for the heat of my love you sought to give your extremities some warmth and so I gave all that I had to you the burning passion of my soul until at last you let me go your hands now pink and warm without a thought you waved goodbye and left me with my cold cold heart

My Light, My Joy, My Love
My Light
when darkness threatens my skies
and shadows loom so deep
the secret that I keep-
you are the light of my eyes
My Joy
when my sadness tears apart
and happiness is weak
the pleasure that I seek-
you are the joy of my heart
My Love
when hatred tries to control
and I am vexed within
the treasure that I win-
you are the love of my soul

Consumed
Only the touch of your lips on my skin, the Very whisper of your breath upon me, is Enough to send my frantic fevered mind Reeling into the highest realms of a Wonderful euphoric sense of glorious Heaven on earth. My lips yearn for yours and my Eyes close in bliss as you show me how you Love me. My heart burns within my chest as My skin tingles with the thrill of pure Ecstasy; and I know in that...

Repeat
Same old story, same old play
heartbreaks, and happiness
secret enemies and faithful friends
gradual progressions and sudden
stops
the blatant mismatch followed by
the surprise romance
same old story, same old play
only the actors change
instead of scripted failures
why not mimic life

More Than
The person in the mirror which I see standing there is not what I imagined when I try to compare the stories that are whispered when I would turn away with the memories I hold when tempted to dismay but perhaps there’s more to me this shadow to surpass I’m more than a reflection trapped in a piece of glass.

My Grandfather, the Woodworker
His hands were calloused and worn
deep crevices running across their surface
decades of work they had born
the hardness they hold you could not miss
rough from years of laboring
in silent dedicated devotion
he sought to give us everything
in spite of his quiet lack of emotion.
Many splinters have pierced his skin,
the scars of some here still remain
and sawdust too is trapped within

Nature's Metaphor
Slogging through the muck and mud of past mistakes grabbing to my legs and the rain-soaked memories - the weary burdens which weigh on me, I’m caught between soaking downpour and clinging of an earthen pull. Still I press on, determining neither heav’n above nor earth beneath worthy a foe to keep me from pursuing you.

Soft and Steady
I love to listen to the gentle rain that falls in random tapping all around and I am quick my eager ears to strain, as each dripping drop fades into the ground. I cannot see their presence in the air though I would try their movement to discern their evidence of life is everywhere; in damp spots spreading without a pattern. But though they fall invisible to see, still I enjoy the soothing subtle...
