Let's be Honest
We aren't perfect
Let us accept our flaws
And not call them
Anything more than
What they are

Do not call me
By anything other
Than who I am
I am not Godly
I am only human
With some magic
In my words

I'm not all that beautiful
But my personality..
That'll catch you.
I won't lie to you
But sometimes I lie to myself.

I have bad days..
We all do.
But I won't pretend to be happy
And let you see a smile
That isn't real.

I will tell you how I feel
Let us be..honest.  
With each other
Because sometimes it's all we are.
We are creatures of emotion
Let us bear it only
If we want to, and I am.
I'm not hopeless.

Just a little scared
But let's be honest..
We're all a little unprepared.

I tell you
Goodnight
But I don't know what
I really mean by that

The Sun Sets and Falls for the Earth,
There are many like her
And only one like him.

He needs her to live..
And still she is ordinary.
Not even the brightest out there...

Warm, and so is he, through her.
Inviting life into his core,
Needing her light and spirit to thrive.  

But the Sun, still falls.  
Though not for him.
But because she does it on her own.

If you wouldn't
Take the Sun for granted
Do not take Me for
Granted


But you forget
Who brings you Warmth
Don't you?..

Please                                  Do not stare
              Don't look at me
Please                       Do not reach for me
           Leave my hand be
Please                     Not this kind of love
          I don't want this
Please                    Just leave me
                  Please

I reach for love
and find I am holding fire

the two kinds
but never both at once

I travel with a Mantra
taking all the fire with me

this wholeness that's me
a contradiction

all the good and all the bad
we all go together

the Mantra is a road
a beginning and ending.
