I am from Ice Breakers mints
From pigtails and books
I am from my backyard
(Where the cool morning dew sparkles like
stars and anything is possible)
I am from golden pastures
And quietly grazing cows that I had to say goodbye to
When the leaves turned brown

I am from hot tuna casserole and playing pretend
From Pasture Robert Morris and the Hobart store
I’m from the do it yourselfer’s
And will work for food
I’m from elbow grease and hard heads
I’m from All In His Hands
The Blood of the Lamb
And John 3:16

I am from the neighbor and family friends
Crock *** stew and fresh slaughtered cow
From the arthritic hands of my great aunty Evelyn
that always help another
And the cane of my papa
that stole his independence and his youth

I am from our small country house
Because that’s where I grew
With clothes on my back
Food in my belly
And a loving family
that are always there for me

That is
Where I come from

And she wrote
About the way the sky looked
At the end of the day
About the way the stars danced
When she looked at them through her telescope
About the poem she read
That made her cry
About the ocean
As it found its way to the shore
About the storm she witnessed
As it angrily shot out lightning
All beautiful things
All beautiful things

But most importantly,
She wrote about you.
About your kind eyes
And your soft smile
And the way you could talk to her
And the way you laughed
The way you would look at her
Like no one else did
You understood
All beautiful things
All beautiful things
I closed myself off from love,
Because I didn't need the pain.
These feelings can either make or break you,
Tearing you apart or healing the scars.

But something happened,
That changed my mind forever,
Something that took a dead flower,
And made it bloom into the most beautiful sight.

My heart beats a little bit faster,
When I see you just up ahead,
I always look away and tell myself it's fake,
There's no way I'll let love destroy me.

I think I'm falling in love with the fire,
But I know if I get to close,
It'll burn me mercilessly,
Don't touch the flames.

They say I'm crazy,
But I don't care what they say,
It's like he's pulling down the walls,
Around my heart.

It feels like gravity is pulling us together,
I'm not going to fight this feeling,
Let's watch it grow like plants,
Waiting to get closer.

Feel the heat of passion,
Nature and Fire were never meant to mix,
But we'll make this work,
We'll make it bolder than anything.

Some say it's a disaster waiting to happen,
I couldn't disagree more,
I've never been so happy in my life,
I feel like I'm floating!

It feels like we'll never fall,
Always be here,
Nothing could ever happen...
It's perfect, meant to be!

...ah, you weren't supposed to fall that hard,
You weren't supposed to ruin it,
With your blood,
My love is what killed you, isn't it?

It's burning down,
The embers are falling beneath the earth,
Passion going up in smoke,
"Until death do us part."

Love is what brings people together,
It's what tears them apart,
Leaves a hole,
That nobody but you can fill again.

There's a second chance,
A chance for life,
A way for your eyes to open,
The light returning to your face.

Love is forever,
It can pursue through even death itself,
So let's let this city burn,
And lose ourselves ... together.
The xanthe poppy
springs out from the fertile land
God smiles, now happy
It was a spark
that started this love

a spark
of a word
of a verse
of a song

The way it felt
rolling off of my tongue
the meaning
and the life
and the feeling of it all

The way it ebbed and flowed
with such grace
and leaped
and twirled
all over the place

a spark
of a word
of a verse
of a song

Poetry's flame
Burns lifelong

When you love someone
Who can't love you back

It feels so dreadful
Like an internal attack

Then when you look
Into their beautiful eyes;

There are no words that exist
That could ever describe

The feeling of empty
Explosions inside

Leaving you ashamed
And wanting to hide

All the good feelings
That you ever let slide
#love #loss #never #again
