the people smile and laugh when
they see
us two
i’d like to say thanks but honestly the best part
of me
is you
To Be With You (All Over Again)
honestly, if you’re wondering
I am simply terrified
of the thunderous love in your eyes
of the rapturous rose thorns piercing my side
to tell you the truth my dear
to hold your hand would be a leap of faith
and in the worst case if my resolve were to break
What lonely soul would be willing to take my place
Lost in your absence, darling im not sure you know
the waves play a loving song,
drawing me closer to you
with every crashing note
Promise you’ll love all of me
Promise me i’ll have all of you.
Snippets #4
i was born and raised
to kiss your crying face
and to hold your trembling hands
Im a creature of folly
and God knows
that i believe this is meant to be
My heart has skipped a beat so many times
That i should be dead
and if that’s the case
This moment may as well be
Heaven
Snippets #3
And when we met
My heart fluttered like a thousand butterfly wings
Father told me you were just looking for trouble
and Mother said I reminded her of Her.
Never giving a damn about what Father said.
Snippets #2
So i dreamed quietly that i’d save you
though you didn’t need saving
And that we’d fly together
though you had already written down the drunken anecdotes of Europe
like rainbow waterfalls cascading down her face against the back drop of a lonely smile .
She’s a wildfire that cannot be extinguished .
the silent light amidst a mid winter’s fog.
She is Her. She is Beautiful. and I Love Her .
Snippets #1
Her love is like the sand
endless
but the tighter i try to hold on
the more it trickles through my fingers
Her love is like the summer
unforgettable
but when i step away from the comfort of her arms
I burn, I blister and sometimes I just can’t sleep
We’re Such Idiots !!!!!!
How long ago did we realize
we were the two opposites
that had the matching bits and pieces
that fit so correctly
We held the hands of Fate and she brought us together
We looked in the eyes of love
We were hypnotized, confused, bedazzled but so awake
We’re such idiots
Promise me you’ll love me
when i turn old
When my teeth fall out and i can’t see past my hands
when i snore in my sleep or can’t afford the earrings you want
When my eyes are fixated on the game moreso than on you
in that pretty dress you worked so hard for
that new hair cut you thought would impress me
Love me when I drink a beer instead of the coffee you make
when I don’t bond with the kids as much as I should
when i seem to be out of the house more and more every night
when i leave my socks on the floor
when i try to sneak back into bed trying not to wake you
when I sit on my ass and do no house work
and when I no longer open the door for you
hold you as tightly as I should
or kiss you like I’ll never see you again
Love me even though I may stop loving you.
Can you keep that promise?
I hope you can
Will you ?
you’re such an idiot
I saw your angel wings
and heard the beauty that came from your mouth
Beneath that rainbow, where we first fell in love
with a path of chinese silk gilded with gold laid before us
In my heart and as a fool, I told you this
I promise
to love you when you wax and wane
Even if the stars are brighter than your eyes on a winters night
and even if your hands tremble and shake and you can no longer hold mine
I promise to love you when dinner tastes bland
when you keep fidgeting in bed
and When you’re on the phone gossiping five hours a night
i’ll love you when you force me to watch stupid chick flicks
when you get super emotional over the same cliche
when you forget to pay the bill, when you nag me non stop
when you think you’re always right, but you’re actually wrong
and when you pick fights over the stupidest things
when you leave whenever I’m around
when you barely look at me anymore
or when you don’t kiss me goodbye
I promise to love you, even though you may stop loving me
I can keep that promise
I hope I can
I Will .
I’m such an idiot
Land Mines
You don’t need to wander the desert
Your feet sinking in the sand
You don’t need to climb mountains
Your arms weary with fatigue
You don’t need to sail alone
Singing to the crashing waves
You don’t need to follow the stars
Watching them sparkle and die
To find me
To find me
You don’t need to sacrifice your dreams
Leaving all that you care for
You don’t need to write a song
Every note more beautiful than the last
You don’t need to suffer sleepless nights
Awake and counting to ten in the dark
You don’t need to ask passing strangers
Listening to blank stares with no answer
To find me
To find me
You don’t need to pray
Asking God why
You don’t need to wonder and think
Asking yourself why
You don’t need to cry
Tears rolling down your face
You don’t need to shout and call my name
Losing your voice in the name of love
To find me
To find me
Im wherever you need me to be
Sitting by your door
Writing in the book you share your dreams in
Lying next to you
through the coldest night
My arm around your shoulder
When you’re too afraid to smile
My hand entwined with yours
When you don’t want to walk by yourself
Together we count the disappearing storm clouds
Embracing the sunshine
looking in your eyes, that are brighter still
You never need to be alone
I’m right here waiting.
King Whoever, The King of Whatever
We believed all that we could
You destroyed whatever you wanted
We made promises in the light
I broke them in the dark
I questioned your thoughts
You gave no answer
You asked who I loved
I replied “no one”
I’d rather be blind
Than to wake up to see our pictures burning
We were so innocent
So willing to fall in love
We sang words that made no sense
Pushed against the wind
just Wanting to be heard
just Wanting to fall down
What makes a man
Does he punch a wall, break glass
drink away all his sorrow
and dispose of his fears
or does he cry
Either way he’ll be alone tonight.
when all is said and done
I’m the one with the broken heart
closing my eyes
trying to forget it all
Truth.
Being idealistic gets you shot .
But so does holding on to someone that’s letting go .
