And today I say you're Beauty
A light no night could cloud
All your life you were a diamond
Treasured
Loved
Protected
You were the focal point
The mystery
The reason the Broken stared
You gleamed from the inside
Your glow engulfed you
And today You say you're Broken
A light the night devoured
Shattered by torment
No longer a diamond
Just shards
Broken glass
If stride is broken
are you not at your own pace
If a mold is broken
are you not your own form
If a rule is broken
are you not your own master
Your gleam has left your center
Your glow is beyond your surface
And today I say you're Beauty
A light no night could cloud
If you break, break free
Don't be the focal point
The mystery
The reason the Broken stare
Guide the Broken to your shambled soul
Let your pieces form an essence
Let your light form a beacon
No longer light encased by a diamond
You are light, aggrandized by shards
And today I say you're Beauty.
A light no night can could cloud

Beware:
I am the calm.
I will show you the sunrise,
sing you serenades.
I will shoulder your crying,
carry your weight.
I will share my secrets,
tell you my truths.
I will win you with wordplay,
whisper you weak.
I will be the one you collapse into,
in terror and in joy.
And when I destroy you
as you look up to me,
smiling,
you will understand
why people
and storms
share names.

Spin a globe
pick a spot
Glide your finger
'til it stops
If we don't land
near ocean blue
Spin again
until we do

If you're headed towards the light
Make room for one more soul
I given all the time I can
It's starting to take its toll
I've walked this earth from edge to edge
It lied in such a drought
Seeing all I didn't see
I see why some opt-out
The world's been rather cruel to me
I came in bare and stranded
If I get back what I put in
I'll be leaving empty handed
The good've gone bad
The sane've gone mad
Yet they all fight to survive
The worthwhile wasn't
The feel-good doesn't
And there's no getting out alive
So if you're headed towards the light
Make room for one more soul
I given all the time I can
I've lost my self-control

On a night like tonight
You can't help but think
Of an undersold smile;
Watching hazel eyes blink
Attached at her hip, need she whisper in your ear
Your heartbeat can't match
The thrill or the pace
Take her by the hand,
Take her out of this place
Easily done once she drinks down her last fear
But, oh,
The wake which will ensue
And, oh,
The trouble you'll get into

When next you see me travel
Do not ask if I will stay
I've not the time for talking
You'll not get the time of day
My time, my dear, is money
With such worth, I'd nary trust her
My words, you'll heed, are golden
Your two cents, mere bronze, lack luster
Fit the bill, you do not
Of cases I will juggle
A blind man could see with either eye
Pettiness is your struggle
Complaints of yours, I'll not hear one
For requests, I lack forbearance
Ask a favor, don't you try
Charity's beyond my inherence
Those paws you clinch, you'll also wash
Dare you raise a fist to me
Your filth exudes; nay, it disgusts
Mealworms out-shine thee
So step off, peasant, you've done enough
Of this wasting of my breath
Be gone now, & clear of sight
Lest thou wish for their own death
"Your majesty" I shall be addressed
No more else should such **** say
And when next you see me travel
Do not ask if I will stay

If ever a time should pass
Where coincidence reconstructs fate
I would long for a dyadic destiny
With that woman of serenity
I love the look in her eyes
When she looks in the eyes of God
I see such distance in her glares
Yet they draw me in so near
Every joy I've ever known
Reflected in her daze
Every pain I've ever felt
Erased within her gaze
I look at her, as she looks at God
She sees what He has shown
Anything He has ever made
Means everything to her:
Every cloud in the sky, a dream
Every clover found, a wish
Every gust of wind, a guide
Every sound of nature, a call
Every storm of night, a showcase
Every blink of the eye, a masterpiece
All the while, she's lost in time
And I'm lost in her eyes
The simplest grin rests on her face
Yet it overwhelms me to see it shown
And when I tell her she is beautiful
She bashfully concedes
Outside, so passive and sweet
Inside, so strong and deep
Even so, so tender, is she
One misguided word could fold her
Never the cause of another's harm
Always ready to right a wrong
So gentle must I be
With such a pure gift from God

The only negative
to being so
blessed
is having so much
you could take
for granted.
Always be grateful,
humble, and
kind.
Release the burdens
of your
heart
and smile for all
you have or
have had.

The Music swims past my ears
To get you off my mind
But the fact is what I’ve always feared
That we've run out of time
This song was ours, or so you said
But now who can claim it theirs
For our relationship has fled
And this song needs a new heir
Whoever it is that dances slow
To this song that’s in my heart
I only want that guy to know
How quickly it can fall apart

Well, my Dear, What can I say
I've thought of you this Valentine's Day
But this should come as no surprise
You brighten my day; You're my Sunrise
There's rarely a day you don't cross my mind
When I close my eyes, it's you I find
So I know it's not much, but it is a start
Accept or Decline, you have my heart
When God made you he must have smiled
At the beauty confined in this confident child
And the big man sure must like me too
Since I was clearly blessed in meeting you
He sent me an Angel, for when times get rough
But for a girl like you, I can't thank him enough
And I know if I need you, you'll be there
Accept or Decline, I know you care
It's been too long since I've seen your smile
But when it comes to you, the wait's worthwhile
It's been too long since we spoke last
But the feeling it gives me is unsurpassed
Over this time our friendship has grown
So I'll throw my request into the far unknown
I send this on an arrow, to my sweet Valentine
Accept or Decline, Would You Be Mine?
