Quiet and tired
But can't fall asleep
As the music plays
He tries counting sheep
Contemplating life
Can't find any hope
Maybe it'd be easier
Just to tie the rope
Thoughts racing through his head
Like,
'This world has too many people
Who cares if I were dead'
Dead inside
He begins to cry
As he takes his knife
And let's it slide
Across his wrists
Across his arms
Across his feet
And across his palms
Sheets stained with red
He starts to drown
Beneath his bed
Cuts too far
Cuts too deep
The last breath comes out
He drifts off to sleep
Sleep forever
Dreams for a lifetime
His soul arose
And began to climb
It's not his time
Not his time to die
Love sends his soul back
Back inside
For there are people
Who love and care
About this boy
There is no spare
There is just one
Just one indeed
It makes you special
So you need to lead
Lead on with your life
Just like everyone too
Because just like them
There's someone who loves you
Her
Cute and funny,
But oh so much more.
Her eyes and her smile,
Is what I started falling for.

As pretty as the ocean,
And as beautiful as the sky.
Oh dear god,
How can she be mine.

Filled with love,
Right down to the core.
So different from others,
It's what I adore.

Whenever I think about her,
It warms my soul with heat.
And as our lips touch,
My heart skips a beat.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

As I watched the fire
burned my cigarette
I put the darkness
of the smoke  
inside my lungs

then I thought of you...

you watched my desire
you shared your secrets
I saw your sadness
we shared lame jokes
I was happily stunned

now...

You are tired
You wanted to keep it
And now I'm hopeless
because last time we spoke
I thought that wasn't the last

now I need to light another cigarette.

Be still my soul.
Be still my heart.
Rest assured that he is watching over you.
Be still.
Because he loves you.
my heart longs for Jesus warmth and presence. I seek for his guidance and love.
I watch the stars
And the streetlights
And the leaves
I watch the fire
The waves
and the trees.
I watch
And watch
Humanity
But never understanding.
I watch the laughter
And tears
And screams
I watch them speak
And call out greetings.
I think its beautiful
Raw emotion
The way we are all linked.
But the hate
And greed
And ignorance
Drowns out the good.
So I will watch nature
And the stars.
Beauty much easier
To understand.
Here stands a boy and a girl
They live their own life, in their own worlds
But this is not a story about their lives
For this is the time to say goodbye
As the boy looks down at her, he smiles
He says not to worry "I'll only be gone for a little while"
She looks down and begins to cry
She sobs into the boys shoulder and asks him why
"Why can't you be real and stay here with me,
Be here when I wake up, it could always be 'we'"
He says he's sorry but it's time for him to go
He starts to back away as the girl cries no..
He disappears into the light blue sky
As the girl wakes up and opens her eyes
"Someday" she says
"Someday it will forever be just you and I"
Here they stand gazing upon the sky
Two good friends, a girl and a guy
They both loved being together
And hated being apart
So when one of them left, it broke their heart
Of course, being just friends wasn't enough
That's when he decided to let it out, all sorts of stuff
He didn't know what she was going to say
He didn't know if this was going to scare her away
But when he was done, she looked up at the guy
Her eyes shined as beautiful as the sky
She said, "I've been waiting for you to tell me for so long,
I was so scared, I thought I'd be wrong"
She hugged her friend, so tightly with love
The sky shined so gorgeously above
The guy was shocked, so scared he was wrong
He hugged his friend back, for so very long
The two friends shared something no one else did
They shared their love for one another that no one could get rid
Unfortunately for him, she was not quite ready
For she was mistreated before by a boy who was unsteady
Her friend knew he had to wait
For the right time to come
The right time to date
He knew she could get through this
He knew they could make it
For she liked her friend more and more each day
Connecting with his spirit
As days went on
She thought of her friend more
He was the only thought in her mind
The only thing she adored
So when that day came
When he decided to ask
To make them official
He said "baby lets unmask,
Let's show the world what we've become,
It's time to open up,
We can do this as one
I love you babe,
And I know I'm ready to say it
Now show me you're ready
And commit to it"
She looked up at him
As if just getting up from bed
And when she opened her mouth,
This is what she said...

I was really missing you
I'm glad you are here now
when the language of rain
is in need of
translation.

when the parallel lines
have
crossed.

when observing the time
by the pizza boxes
arching
toward
a ceiling fan.

when pages of
stories are skipped
to the end unread.

rain touches the lonely,
rain is weaving  
the hearts
with dreams.

rain colors the lonely
arching in color
touching the sky.  

droplets  of water
through your window glass
tapping of comfort
of watering eyes.
