Sometimes, sometimes you make me feel like... like I can make you happy and me happy that maybe we, we, could be happy and sometimes sometimes you make me feel warm when you hold me tight and bury your face in my back when you pull me back to bed instead of letting me get up early and sometimes I miss you and I think of your laugh and the way you get little crinkles of firework lines next to your eyes and your smile, your chipped tooth, and the parentheses on either side of your mouth and I think of how you’d tease me what mean or silly little things you would say and I smile when I think of you smiling, and my heart leaps, jumps right out of my rib cage and I never can seem to find it and I think of you looking at me watching me while you read, while I study while we sit together on your bed, with your funny green sheet and our ***** bare feet like we were meant to be there like it’s where we’ve belonged all along and we just hadn’t found each other yet.

Sometimes
I’m from sunshine and bird call mornings cat stretching on flannel sheets tasting the sun with my skin welcoming the dewy grass and the wet bricks and the fresh air I’m from cloudy skies and redwood trees alarm clock wake up calls frozen morning breath sunshine on squiggles and beach views and forest adventures I’m from wanderlust and airplanes opening my eyes to a new place everyday from the unknown to the awesome taking in all that I can I’m from rain forests waking up to sticky-sweet-hot air and mosquito netting enjoying the symphony of birds and bugs and the lights of the fireflies at night welcoming the abundance of colors and the wondrous creatures and the tall tall trees I’m from fast cities waking up to car horns and street hawkers starting the day with street sounds and street smells coexisting with the rest of the beating heart that is a big city navigating the veins of streets with their loads of cars living in tiny rooms and big buildings I’m from deserts motionless morning air and sunburns and tans with their glorious sand dunes and their hot sunny days their honeycomb color and their unbelievable sunsets I am from here I am from this world from this glorious green and blue orb I wake up everyday to any number of things not knowing what I will find and always ready for that adventure

Where I'm from
I’m not so innocent and I’m not so blind so why is this clarity fogging my mind? I’m not so happy and I’m not so sure I don’t know whats wrong or whats right, as it were my thoughts are all jumbled but in a straight line I’m chaos, I’m crazy, no, really I’m fine it’s going all fuzzy, the image is clear am I or aren’t I really just here? my head’s in the future my thought’s in the clouds my heart is inside me myself in the crowds I’m really not sure I really don’t know I guess all I can do is subside to the flow

Clouds of Clarity
imagination running wild in my mind, i’m still a child cardboard hearts and clouds on strings stars dangle from the ceilings my heart cannot contain these feelings adventure filling up those nights looking back all full of lights I long for time that is now gone in those years that I am missing memories of days long passed I wish to have them back at last

Days Long Passed
unknown to me are mine own thoughts this mind I have filled with blank spots the gaps are growing they fill my unknowing further am I into perplexity if only I could understand this complexity here am I sitting in the unknown here am I all, all alone.

Unknown
I reach out in the vastness but meet with no sound I wonder and wonder but no answer is found plunged into confusion each new thought an intrusion I fumble through these empty spaces and wander through such shapeless places In the void I hear not a word and I try to take flight a great wing'ed black bird

Black Bird
The white walls grey with lack of light The darkness fills the blackened night The shadowy stars dance through the halls The shimmering lights glow up the walls The clouds are dancing off to sleep All the children lay counting sheep The monsters crawl back under beds While sleeping people rest their heads The sun is hiding in the night And the moon comes to show off its light Wonderful dreams creep into slumbering heads As all of the people lay asleep in their beds

And the Night Comes
deprived of sleep my thoughts they creep to lands of far away my eyelids slip I lose my grip and fall back in to dreaming and in my sleep I am awake a little noise this world will break and everything is as it should be the ones I love are near and I can banish all my fear in slumbering I am most serene and so I slip back to my dream

drifting off
Everyones left Everythings gone And now only I Am left to remain on Everythings quiet Everythings still All that is left Is me and my will Everythings frozen Everythings stuck Its me all alone This is my luck I am motionless In this still air Here am i all alone Upon me the universe does press I feel the weight The wait All alone Here am I On my own.
