I want to live where the sun shines I want to wake up each morning and taste liquid gold eat brightness for breakfast I want to touch feather-light fire and let its warmth seep into my skin through to my bones.

Winter
You know how i feel when i look into your eyes? No, you dont. Because I've never told you. Although, if i did, I dont think words could describe... but I'll try- Adrenaline ****** Pouring fire into my heart slamming my viens over and over my fingers tingle my chest contracts it seems you pull the air out of me. Those unbelieveable brown eyes just one look forever burned. You are what i want. What i am fighting for, to keep you, to love you, to hold you, begging you to stay. Im searching for your answer and in that one second, when our eyes lock, I cant breathe. But i can feel the smile tugging my mouth upwards. And that's all i need to know. You... you make me melt. Please, before you leave, look back at me so i can at least glimpse what once was and what, for me, forever will be.

I'll Try
It's funny how i thought i could trust you after so many times, you let me down. Funny how i never got tired of seeing your face, even after every lie- and i never will. Really funny how i always come crawling back. no matter what you do. So funny how i love you, and will never stop. even when you stopped loving me. It's funny how i am the one person that was there for you but you brushed me away. It's funny. and i am laughing while you cry.

Funny
you are an itch that drives me crazy. A rash that spreads across my heart. Poison ivy has nothing on you. You make me scratch and scratch till I bleed…but still, no relief. Inflamed is my soul, waiting for the burn to stop…will it ever stop? Fingernails digging grooves into swollen skin, I need ice, snow, something…anything to stop this fire. But its no use. For every ounce of relief I gain, you sting me twice as hard, reminding me that you will always be there. Buzzing around me, crawling up my back, swarming my body. Making me writhe. Yet only you can stop this. Only your cool skin against mine, only your sweet breath, your touch. You are the only medicine. The only one that can help me. Your kiss is the only relief. Your love is the only cure.

Itch
crimson lipstick and rosy cheeks hot, wet tears she never thought she'd see you die lying on the ground and you pallid features stone cold cheeks ice engulfs your heart. blue and blue surrounds your body as death claims your space your icy lips, wordless. quiet. and then. a moment- their lips did fuse and for a second created purple

Lava molten moving Slowly eating Burning burying Rolling down The hot black Igneous Grey smoke plumes Twirling trembling Orange and red Crackling surfaces Silent destruction The ground shakes Like a snail It moves. Violent and massive Fearsome fire Cataclysmic 1883

Krakatoa
The Summer is here...or was, once. I remember it, beautiful and green. The lush hues unbroken shining in the golden sun. green stretching for miles, and i loved it. But soon the fields began to change. The sun burns too much. moisture evaporating, air becoming dry. And the green was slowly dying, on the lips of Summer's mouth, and just hot breath was left and even that was dissappearing. The Fall was coming, waiting. For Summer to leave. Gently helping by dousing the trees with kerosene and it dropped the match, while i was pleading, begging for Summer to stay. But the fire had started, the leaves began combusting and i could do nothing but let the world be set ablaze. The green melted into golds and oranges. Reds and browns. And i was left with falling leaves and a promise that Summer would come again.

Electric currents Surging Pulsing Flow. White hot light Traveling Currents. Thrum Thrum Thrum. Static feel And the steady Vibrations On fingertips Energy Rippling Invisible. Spark Spark Spark. Flames Orange and Hot. Catch quickly To the bedroom Wall. Licking the Curtains. Toasting the Ceiling. Invisibility, Can destroy. Thrum Thrum Thrum. -5/9/10

This fear, it is unlike any i have dealt with before fear of being, fear of knowing fear of re-opening my sore  these tears i hold on the edge of my lashes come with the sudden heat my body radiates i can feel my heart speeding, pounding in crashes  i wish i could show you how badly this hurts i need to leave.  i feel like i have to.  all i wish for is to have no emotion to not feel this pain to be happy.  that is my devotion

Today, I met a man. Ive known him for over 5 years now. But today I met a different man That really is the same. Same in the way ive seen him walk, Heard him talk… But different in my sight of him. Because now, Ive really heard him, Feel like I know him Just a little better. Know I will never know the whole story, The complete man. But thankful to get a snippet, A shard, a piece Of the years and stories he holds. Listening intently to only a few of his memories. He sang in front of and in the audience of The Vienna boys choir. He sang at the berlin wall. Captain of the football team. Met Bill Clinton and Colin Powell And had cigars with them. Loves his two children Has a heart bigger than most peoples. Treating us to dinner We sit and listen To tiny pieces of an amazing person, A life filled with travels, love, and hardship. This man that I already know, I met him again today. 2/13/10
