Clutching for words, I sink into silence.
Your waxing smile soothes, but light
Not the darken sea nor calms the violence
Wrecked upon my soul by a still tongue's blight.
Your laughter, bells that chimes heaven's bliss;
Your touch shivers that skin feels erect;
Yet my world yearns for a tender kiss.
Through havoc and chaos comes something perfect.
Gentle madness and crazed frustration start
When silence through your sensual stride
Take pass my smitten heart.
Dazed and stranded, beach by your tide
My castaway heart sits upon a broken keel
For which only your love can heal.

Pellets of water scattered in the ground
Bursting like an explosion of memories
We stood amidst the fog of our pasts
Letting the rain cry for all our sorrow

A glimpse of light beyond the skies
Peeking into the darken world
I start to wonder
Do you remember me?

Our past flashed in the nimbus sky
Like a movie late at night
Where were we amidst the great storm?
Washed away like the September rain

The blanket of stars at night
Sparkle each moment you forget me
I start to wonder
Do you see me when you kiss her?

As the birds soar through the sunset sky
We find ourselves dancing under the twilight
Surrendering to fate this unending song
As the light fades to dark

Our palms touch in this sweet surrender
Darkness is our light amidst the forgotten
I start to wonder
Does our love finally start forever?

I am forever amazed at how the world breathes with its oceans and its forests
and how you love with chocolate eyes
that have hurt themselves more times than count
and that harbor such love and dying guilt
and a secret laugh that I am allowed to see, and touch, and hold in my hand and in my heart.

You can sit and watch grass grow,
Drop seeds and reap what you sow,
Get dirt on your hands, you know?

Wait and see what mystery winged things
                                                             bring,
Observe their dance, how they see to clean
                                                             wings,
Absorb the flight and the strut and the peck and
                                                      the song it sings.

You can walk the dog a good long ways,
Run with ear buds for the endurance phase,
Remember either way get out and go play.

Listen carefully, take care of you, only you know how,
No one else really can, not even your lover or friend, wow,
Free yourself, find peace, seek as much blue and green, Allow:

A Time for Love;
To Express Joy;
A Life in Peace;
Doctoring your Patience;
Delivery of all with Kindness;
Self-discover Goodness;
Unearth Faithfulness,
In the realm of Gentleness;
Wear a Patch for Self-Control;

but -

Start with time to watch birds

We have good times and bad
But there's no reason to be sad
We have each other
Love stronger than a mothers
We love to keep
Not date and sleep
You are the one
To show me fun
To show me love
Love sent from above
My passion is you
And has always been you
You are my first
You are my last
So love me now
Forget the past
Give thanks to god
Don't think that it's odd
That your still alive
Through your actions and lies
Through the corruption
Through the unfaithfulness
He kept you alive
Not for your mother
Not for your school
Not for your pride
But for me
And god
I could have left
Many many times
But I stayed
Not for sex
Not because of a happy ending
But simply because I love you
And god loves you
This isn't a honeymoon phase
This is true love
This is our intertwined souls
This is us

What is this feeling,
This ache in my gut
Is it love?
What is this pain,
That I feel when you're away?
Is it love?
What is this smile
That only comes out with you,
It must be love.
What are the laughs
That escape from my mouth
With every joke you say?
Is that love?
Is it love when I am dreaming
And dreaming of you?
Is it love when I am yearning
Is it love that I am learning?
It can't be love...

But baby oh baby
The things that I feel
Are much to unreal
To be anything less
Than love.

Surly this is too good to be
Really you're too good for me
Is it love
Or is it just me?

Before I sat in the dark,
Swaying sleepily on my own,
I became rooted in the madness,
Day dreamed into stone,

He wrote it in the holes
Perforated through my heart
And that was just the beginning,
I knew we couldn't part.

We always were together,
I never strayed too far,
And it wasn't long before my dear love,
He grasped for the stars,

As the galaxies fell
Before his eyes, I begged.
My world please stay with me,
"We'll flow like water instead."

It all went up in smoke,
On the blessed first of May,
He left me then, my security
He simply could not stay.

In truth,
I guess I always knew,
The words just weren't right,
You can’t contain a star.
You can’t hold onto sunlight.

They owe more.
Then we could ever imagine.
They owe more.
Then many ever think of when surrounded by them.

They sacrifice in ways we don't know.

So return the favor to all of them.

To the child that adores their parents deeply.
And understand, what return the favor means?

I can honestly feel those that say they love their parents deeply.
I honestly can.
Those, who will drop things instantly to do for them.
Like they drop things to do for you.

When they said they couldn't make a school meeting.
Then for you to look up and there they were.
Even, if it was a school play.

A parent smile takes you a long, long way.
Yes, return the favor.
To your parents.
And do it with love.

If we wasn't a burden to them.
Then they mustn't be seen as a burden to us.
