You want to disappear?
That's fine. I'll do it for you
The only difference between
you and me, though
Is that I won't come back
like you always do
If I disappear, it's for real
It's crazy, isn't it?
That the only real thing we can ever get
Is our end

I fell in love today.
With a man I'd never met.
He had a power over me, what can I say?
Oh, he's a hero, don't you fret.
He is tall, and witty, and debonaire.
He saved me from the bandits with his flashing swordplay.
All the while the sun glinting on his hair.
Then he took me back to his castle on page 109.
When he crowned me there was so much applause the walls shook!
I cannot wait to see what happens on the next line,
because my lover and I are one on the pages of this book.
One of the many realities I have escaped to in my time.
Reading, a pleasant distraction that cultivates ones mind.
It is so deliciously good, pleasure at its prime.
The characters I've met have taught me how to love and hate, how to be cruel and to be kind.
I have won battles, and lost friends.
I have made love with Vikings, and danced with mermaids.
And it almost always makes me weep when a book ends.
Then it's back to the bookstore on one of my story raids.
I can't wait to slip between the pages.
The ink to my mind like silk to my skin.
There I will meet heroines, criminals, and sages.
Between each set of covers a new life will begin.
Flip the pages and inhale the drug.
the fine biblichor that sends my head spinning.
A fine way at the end of the day to unplug.
A new book, the best way to get me grinning.

Like a shining star in the black night sky
born to radiate happiness and smile
Like a drop of rain on a deserted mountain
created to spread hope and passion
Like the flowers in a verdant forest flow
Born to shine with all the grace and glow
Like the new morning brings new life
Created to beam with freedom and love
Like the beauty of nature at it's most serene
Born to spread peace and harmony
Like the rays of the sun brings warmth
Created to inspire and motivate
You too are created to inspire and live
With a soul of abundant beauty

I want to breathe in
I want to speak
To your body
Like nobody else
I want to feel
I want to feed
Your Fire
Like nobody else
I saw the silhouette you left
Cast through my cigarette
As I said nothing
I felt all of it

Please, I beg you
I implore you
To leave me alone
If you're confused
Or had a moment of weakness
An impulse of momentary courage
that will fade quickly
Please don't
Don't do it
Don't come back
For I know you will leave again
with no explanation
other than leave me wondering again
Why
Why is it always a desire
Instead of a fact
I'd rather have you leave forever
Than come back
And be a lie I can never have

Maybe it's not about this
Maybe it's not about the way you say my name
Or about the paper planes you wrote our dreams on
And then tried to fly them from your room
To my hands.
Maybe it's not about the songs you played to me
On your old guitar
Neither about the way your laugh would come killing
Every sad minute in my life.
Maybe its not about the way you'd show me the snow and the sun
The rain
And the autumn in your eyes.
Maybe it's not about the way you've taught me
how to fight loneliness
Or how to smile and chase away the demons in my head.
Maybe it's not about any of these.
Or maybe it's about everything.
Maybe it's about the fact that I love you
And
You've never taught me
How to stop this.
All I know is
Paper planes don't always fly
Only my dreams do
All the time.
Away from me
Away from you
Away from us.

Opportunity gently knocks
Whereas temptation demands to be let in

together
we are an enigma.
not because we
don't understand
each other,
but
because we
don't understand
ourselves.

The years are liars and they don't keep their word:
They promised me maturity,
But all I got was soft places where I should be firm.
They swore me wisdom,
But all I found was a different kind of foolishness.
They said I'd have new insights
But all I saw was how I miss the flowers of youth.
The years are untrue and make vows they don't intend to keep
They promised me contentment,
But all I received was a slower paced restlessness.
They told me I'd find fulfillment,
But all I've discovered is a bigger yearning.
They assured me these years would be golden,
But I can see through the veneer to the green beneath.
And I curse the days and weeks and years
For they lied to me and then ran away.
