As I trudged home from school one day
A sweet sight met my eyes.
Amidst the dreary clouds of gray
Flew millions
Of butterflies.
On painted, colored wings they fluttered
Delicately, all about,
And even a heart as hard as mine couldn’t have shuttered
Their bright joy
Out.
They frolicked gaily in the breeze
As my wonder-filled eyes watched from below.
Then like a dancing flower from the trees,
One landed softly
On my nose.
Its jewelled eyes gazed into mine
And peered deep into my soul,
And it shook its head sadly when it did find
An empty, aching, armored
Hole.
Its soft wings brushed against my cheek
As glistening water fell down my face.
It gave me a kiss, sweet and meek,
And with its fellows
Flew away.
Now, after heartbreak that pierced me so,
The butterflies’ kind gift remains.
For they opened a door inside my soul
And let me learn
To love again.
It's my birthday today,pour me a scotch.
No,pour yourself a scotch.
No,let me pour you a scotch.
No,it's my birthday today,pour me a scotch.

Will I ever be enough?
In a world that praises perfection
Will I ever be what you want?
With every flaw I have
And every bleeding scar
Would you take me as a whole?
Would you water this dying flower?
Would you make me bloom?

One too many
I fear I might catch the bug.
No, I love life too much!
So did they!
They love the good things in life
They didn't get it
They tried and tried and then some
Nothing seem to work.
They get disappointed
Too often for their hearts
Dreamy and hopeful to take
They did all of these silently,
Maybe not.
You and I, we didn't care enough to look!
But even if we did, could we stop it?
A heart broken from hard knocks?

in death lies the seed of birth,

so as we are cradled in one form,

so shall we be cradled in another.





no reason for dismay,

no cause for anguish
somedays i think
if i looked inside your heart
he would be there
instead of me

Of you
Of your voice
Of your lies
Of your fake smile
Of your fake love
And when I see you with her
After you called to say your flight was late
I know I’m tired
Of my love for you
