My tide
Love unrequited
Pulled you
my love
in too.

|b.g.|
ten word poems, an effort towards simplicity
People say you fall in love
I like to think I flew.
The only fall I've ever felt
Is getting over you.

|b.g.|
Late nights, short poems, and working through the same feelings in different memories.
This game we play
I cannot say
That no one's keeping score

With minds at bay
And hearts astray
Repressing something more

I cannot pretend
You're just my friend
And didn't build these dreams

And in the end
The truth won't bend
This is more than it seems.

|b.g.|
Rest your sleepy soul tonight
Dream amidst the pale blue light
Let your pain and worry go
Under the spell of azure glow
Lightly flowing through your hair
How I wish I was up there
Where hued halos ignight your dreams
Kissing your face where I should be.
Where are we going, what can we do
When we are lost in lonely blue?
It's you who haunts my dreams tonight
My almost love in pale blue light.

|b.g.|
Tell me is it day or night
The dark of dawn or dusk's dim light
Where winds are still yet silence blows
As steady as the river flows
Shades of grey all blend to one
A lost lament of love undone
Moonlit mist or sunless shade
Are all well, or all afraid.
Tell me is life dark or light
Tell me- is it day or night?
|b.g.|
You're just a bird
So fragile and frail
Afraid to fly
Afraid to fail

You're just a bird
Still safe in your nest
With feathers just forming,
Strong heart in your chest

And one day you'll fly
And spread your own wings
Into the clear sky
And over the seas
But you're just a bird
Who'll soon forget me
But always remember
When we shared a tree

You're just a bird
Who sings as he sways
His own little tune
Even as his heart breaks

You're just a bird
So un-self aware
Still learning to love
To consciously care

And one day you'll fly
And spread your own wings
Into the clear sky
And over the seas
But you're just a bird
Who'll soon forget me
But always remember
When we shared a tree

Oh the places God will have you go
And oh the heart that God will help you grow

But

You're just a bird
And wherever you roam
Think of me fondly,
And the tree,
That we
Called

Home.


|b.g.|
Lyric
We carved constellations
We slipped through the stars
                           Drew deeply new breath
                           When love became ours.
 But fog faded in
Clouds covered the night
                            I only gave in
                            When you gave up the fight.
Slowly all storms pass
To clear moonlit skies
                            But stars seem less bright
                            When not in your eyes.

|b.g.|
*Author's Note:*
I only gave in when you gave up the fight.
Thank you for giving up, or I would never have had the courage to give in.
Goodnight, and goodbye.
