Though today is Tuesday
Many think it Monday,
But that was yesterday...
'Twas a Bank Holiday!
Which in a strange weird way
Many thought was Sunday,
But just on Saturday
All of us knew the day!
But who cares anyway?
Tomorrow is Wednesday,
Just to get through Thursday
Then hooray!! 'Tis Friday!

Traveler
A Travel Alert
Has been issued
For the Travelers
Of The Earth

Quite unfriendly
The world views
These inhabitants
Have given birth

Condition High
All Travelers hide
Take shelter
From the storm

Our children rest
In weary arms
As fear becomes
Their norm

There is this girl
Who appears out of nowhere

She looks at me
She smiles at me

A look that cuts straight to my core
Waking up my veins, my body, my soul

A smile that pierces through my heart
like a billion of Cupid’s arrows

On top of the other, one right on the top of the other
Then another on top of the other, arrow after arrow

Straight..
Into..
My soul

Straight..
Into..
My heart

And this is the part of the dream
Where most girls will grab your hand

Where most girls will embrace you
Kiss you, saves you

But this girl isn’t the same
Isn’t the same with most girls

This girl didn’t save me
This girl holds my hand

She smiles again
And asked “are you ready?”

And finally I am
I am ready

She didn’t save me, together we fall
No, we didn’t fall, we jumped

And this is the part of the dream where
as we were falling into each other

I woke up, I woke up
Too bad I woke up

It could be perfect, this girl
But it was just a dream

This girl..
Just a dream..
Because I couldn't sleep. Ugh.

They would never truly know how much their kinds words had touched her
How many times she would replay them in her head on a bad day
And how many times they helped heal her
They would never truly know
because a thank you would never be enough

Chocolate ecstasy on my tongue is

dumbing down is the new smart
if you wanna get ahead best start
too many roses are no longer red
and violets are welts of our cred
but with all things photoshopped
all blemishes are airbrushed and
any rough edges can be cropped

Starfire
Laughing and dancing
To keep our spirits bright

We bring joy to the world
And sharing our memories with one another

"A time to enjoy ourselves" I thought

Different people brought together
By dancing, singing and laughing

What a wonderful time to enjoy ourselves
Together as one whole universe,
A diverse nation

Maybe this summer?
Maybe these stars?
Will be the distant midnight fires
Which will look down upon this tired old heart
And rejoice as it falls
Endlessly
Stumbling upon the greatest love of all
Maybe this summer? Maybe these stars?
