I'm not afraid to be silent in this place
Although I have a lot to say
Plenty of Words
I know would be heard
Yet, They rest with you
I'm usually at my best with you
No radio, No TV
Just You & Me
We can talk for hours
Doesn't really ever seem like talking
More like checking in
& Catching up on many lifetimes with an old friend
I laugh so much with you
I smile so genuine near you
I have no fear in or around me
In this place I am free to be who I really am
In turn I have learned
That love is not something we can make ourselves feel
Just the same it's nearly impossible to stop feeling it
You respect the inhabitants of my heart
The only one you dislike is the one who broke it
I have grown to forgive in order to be forgiven
I found all the things I was missing
Not in anyone else but in myself, with God
When we are silent if you listen closely you can hear him smiling
All he wants from us is more than we think we have to give
In this one life we have to live
I'm forever committed to seeing my vision thru
Funny how things look much clearer
When I'm alone with You...

My heart has skipped a beat before
what you make me feel
is more like hopscotch
or beat breaks in hip hop
you're dope!
not addictive
I won't need rehab
if we don't last
what am I saying?
I'm playing
not last?
everlasting isn't tied to expirations
tru-love
doesn't expire
or retire
it's a decision made before life
that even when it's not right
it's still light
that's why I hide my face
but I never hide who I am
I blush with you
because there's so much trust with you
your loyalty showed me what love should do
in time of need
you make it all about me
take the back seat to your own dreams
to push me forward
pushing toward it
the ultimate goal
constant reminders
that I am special
to you
to God
a blessing to anyone
who knows me
or knows that they never will quite like you do
one half to my whole
the mate to my soul

Morning Sunshine
Said the Sun
Long before
The day begun

Hello Superstar
Said the Nova
Long before
The cow jumped over

the moon and all its magic
some days nights are tragic

yesterday was someones tomorrow
today our time is simply borrowed

from where we were
where are you from?
are you traveling?
how far have you come?

will it be long till you arrive
do you realize
the things we idolize

the truth isnt hard to find
we are the ones who choose to hide

I still stretch like a cat in the morning
Holding the breath of my last dream
inhaling the thoughts of my next one
You never meet me there.

I stumble to the kicthen
Wash my hands
& fry my eggs sunnyside up
You never meet me there.

I place my favortie coffee mug upon the counter
Fill it with rich, smooth, bold,  black coffee
let the creamer sweeten it as I open the blinds
You never meet me there.

Your absence is a noisy silence
When my heart yearns for you
It beats like an Orchestra
I don't know where you've gone
I do know my Mothers patience
Beyond a virtue
Is more like Celeste
Either she believes she'll see you again
Or you've never left

I cry sometimes
More often then I should
it doesn't get any easier
You never meet me there.

I reminisce sometimes
Not as often as I should
there's a peace in my past
I cannot leave you there.

You are my Father
You did your job
Above average is your middle name
Greatly was your first
& the last you left behind for us, Love
Greatly Above Average Love
You set a standard
You are my latest
Greatest
Inspiration
A million Thank You's I never gave
A billion hugs I can no longer give
When I make it to the deepest corners of my heart
I am confident
You will meet me there! <3

Dare I say you're exceptional
in a world of temporary things
darling you are perpetual

I hear rushing water
and roaring waves

That's just when you blink outta your sleep

That feeling your smile gives me when you're awake
is a lot to take
overwhelming is a price I'll pay
for this embrace

You're sweeter than they'll ever understand

I get it
Your heart is encrypted
Luckily I'm gifted

This present time
of a presence divine
with permission to unwind

only for a moment
without a moments notice

We both know it
A love so heroic

We might succeed at saving each other from what we want
To focus on what we need

If only you believed...
