goodbyes
glide
as
silk
from
a
hopeful
tongue
awaiting
reunion

byes
on
the
other
hand
slap
do
not
return
stickers
all
over
your
heart

there
is
nothing
good
about
byes
they
are
forever
harsh
and
hurtful

Song

when i think of all i gave
and forgave
and all i dreamed
and strove for
of every moment i spent in awe
and every day i adored you
when i think of all the time i spent
trying to make something real of
circumstance
i ache inside
my heart feels used
my love abused
and i will cry
oh, how i will cry
but, how could loving you hurt so bad
no one person is to blame, they say
but, i have never been done this way
you didn't lose me
you pushed me away
i will not settle for second best
my love will not be put to test
you only hate me because i won't allow you
to make me hate myself

Song

there's nothing more i can say
nothing more i can do
i'd write a song about it
but you took my words, too
you took everything from me
my heart, my soul, my tunes
save for my pride
which i stole right back from you

Song

Sugar

I want to coat your world with sugar
drench your forests with mallowcreme
chocolate-dip your mountains
pour honey in your seas
confectionate your meadows
sprinkle sugar in your trees
freeze the perfect rainbow
for your summer's delicacy
I want to mold your stars with liquid gold
from melted butter rum
and throw them up into your sky
each gleaming with my love
I want to frost your moon like lemon pie
with sweet peaks of frothy whites
and add to your sky a hundred puffs
of gooey marsh delights
I want to fill your sun with nectar
dip my finger in 'til sweet
then, stir 'til thick and bubbly
and set the rays to steaming heat
I want to pick the sweet and plumpest berries
the earth has ever grown
and squish them 'til pure-blue magic
runs between my toes
then, take this gorgeous fluid hue
and fill a candy straw
so I can blow you a sky of grandeur
with a scent and taste to awe!

Song

Love Ain't so Easy


love ain't so easy
as a
one-way
one-stop
on the bus
heading directly
to your destination
kinda
idealized
romance novel
painless
endless
sorta
love

Nope!
Sure Ain't!

sometimes
there are delays
detours
transfers
layovers
congestion
potholes
or other
rugged terrain

and perhaps
the damn driver is so drunk
he doesn't know where in hell
he is taking you
and keeps you in a never-ending circle
way off your route
until you get so desperate
you leap off the bus
into the path of an Amtrac
that gets you there fast...


Song

A Ray of Light

...and out of the pain
comes tranquility
odd
how the sharpest pain
and
the deepest darkest pit of despair
can bring forth the most beautiful ray of light
to help guide us through the darkest days
and
caress our pain with warming light.

She's an angel


she's an angel and she's fell in love
she's the one everyone is speaking of
when they're lying wide awake
and they feel their heart will break
in two
she's the one who's missing you

she's an angel and she's fell in love
she's the one you're thinking of
when you're lonely and you're drugged
on her intoxicating love
she's the one you gave your heart to
she's an angel in love

she's an angel who has shed her wings
flying solely on what love can bring
her halo's like the burning sun
or flaming ring, branding you with love
she's the angel they are speaking of

and she flys like hearts sing
without voice, without wings
flying solely on what love can bring
She's the one they are speaking of

she's an angel and she's fell in love
she's the one everyone is speaking of
when they hear that certain song
and they're singing right along
with you, too
she's your angel and she's fell in love
with you


Song

When an Angel falls in Love


when an Angel falls in love
she sheds her wings

and soars into her lovers' heart

wings are not needed there
they are a futile part

all she needs is her smile
and her grace and her heart

she is content now to rest
snuggled deep within him

he loves her dearly
she shed her wings for him

this is what keeps her aloft


Song

TY

how can you wake up one day and no longer feel love?
like flicking a switch and blanketing anothers' world in total darkness
it still amazes me how easily this can be done
there should be a return policy on a heart
because you havn't given me mine back,
intact
you only replaced it with something cold
something crushed
I want my heart back
the one I gave you so unselfishly, but
even then, a part of you has embedded in my soul

Song

It has been a year without you
my heart is still in mid-beat
suspended here
not knowing quite what to do
incapapable of going back, yet
fearing that the next beat will
surely break her in two
she is frozen here between beats
clueless
waiting for the answer
just what lies between
love and indifference?

Song

TY

Stillness


I feel the stillness
of the night stabbing at me
The silence screams in my ear
He is gone! He is gone!
I shudder as I search for you
across this cold vacant room
I long to hear your voice
Just call me and tell me again
so I can finish dying inside
It is hell being only half dead

Song

I can Dream


when you know it is over
but your heart won't listen
and you are left with only dreams

dream not only of what was
or, what may have been
dream of what will be

dreams are made of wishes
dreams are made to dream

I dream of you
loving me

because, you can do that
In my dreams


Song
