Last night, I fell apart.
I woke up blanketed in sodden ash,
Tears saturated into the eruption's fallout
The proximity of crackling fire assaulting my senses,
I was still angry.

I felt intoxicated, drunk on words never said
But the ones that were spoken lay spiked into my head
Partners apart, but strangers together
The hawks are gone in my life, but you can still find the feathers

Questions slicing through my mind
I run away from stormy brine
These tears that fall, I think you know
Have haunted me since long ago

Buried in formaldehyde
These skeletons reflect our inside
The secrets that we made to keep
Take me before I fall asleep

Though you're my fixer and my mess
The walls echo with you less and less
I fear it's not you running from me
I'm forgetting what we used to be
"You want them when they don't want you,
Soon as they do, feelings change"

When I was oh, so younger
I used to rule the day
Catching toads
And flying paper planes
Until the lure of pretty girls
Got right in the way
My destiny came calling
And I chased it on the run
Time goes by while tears run smiles
And not every day is fun

The chase was fun,
But oh, how it ended.
They no longer caught my fancy.
I turned to games and friends instead
Until one day, girls started to chase me

And what a merry chase it was
Living and loving just because
Age is a constant gardener
A teacher of self and suffering
The premise of life eternal
An opening of not merely eye
But heart, mind and soul
To find love is to know life
And to know life is life eternal
Captive on a carousel of time
The world is yours, ours and mine

We fell in love and the world erupted in fireworks.
Nothing could have been better.
The pure joy that I felt with her was unrivaled by nothing I've ever felt before.
She was the one.

The one who became my other
Who completed me
Who took me to places love had never shown me
And felt like home
A place to belong
Yes...she was the one


No other could take her place.
She was mine,
Just as I was hers.
We were one, together,
Yet still just me and her.


And in that we found our destiny
When you have to walk a thousand miles
To reach your hope, to follow your dream
Always remember to hold my hand
I will go with you, we are a team

When you need a shoulder to lean on
I offer you mine,  here you can rest
Always remember that I am with you
I will love you forever, I will give my best

Always remember that I'm here for you
When you have to cry,  I understand
In joy and sadness, in every road you take
I will walk with you, just take my hand
We are one.  Your sadness is mine,  too.
i have no real dreams to speak of
i speak of my nightmares even less
i am just trying to reach the peak of
that mountain, where i am blessed

material goals aren't what i talk of
spiritual goals, i talk of more
i am just trying to walk the walk of
those spirits who walked before
Sister-Sister
We flirt with each other; friendship skin-tight like two peas in a pod.

Sister hood extremely remarkable we deal with one another.
Good days & bad days we are close to each other.

Best friends since day one our love has grown alot; I'd say like Louise and Thelmas' unconditional love.

Cinnamon to my favorite pop tarts
Words to my favorite fiction books, but; most importantly the sunlight to my darkest afternoons.

Dull moments are never; craziness and adventure is everywhere
From lows to highs you stick by my side
I wouldn't think of being anywhere else but right by your side.

Something for my partner in crime.
