I'll write your name with rose petals
And lie them on the bed
Put lilacs on your pillow case
Where you lay your lovely head

Your beauty renders me speechless
My words have run away
You steal my breath, with just one glance
I don't know what to say

Your smile can blind the morning sun
As you cause the flowers to faint
You could make da Vinci more famous
But you're much too perfect to paint

The poets of old lay down their quills
For all of their muses stare
For none can find the words to write
Of a vision, they find so fair

Even the diamond as it touches your skin
Sheds tears in utter disgrace
For no one can see its perfect shine
Compared to your beautiful face

Even the words that I've written here
Are scared of making mistakes
For they've asked me to read it a million times
Or ever how many it takes
Lost in words,
Lost myself,
Lost everything.

Still striving,
Lifelessly surviving,
Living by the hour.

Gone in 60 seconds,
Had to learn my lessons,
But it's far to late to turn back.

Metal bracelets,
Free car ride,
A bed, a blanket, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Burned a bridge,
Tried to swim,
Drowned....

Who said that love was fire?
I know that love is ash.
It is the thing which remains
When the fire is spent,
The holy essence of experience.

Moss, softly green as grass
some bare feet to pass
red fox and deer to tread
mossy stepped, quietly the forest led
soon to rest golden heads
bright leaves
falling sleepily
to bed

Little hummingbird
I see you fly
Magical and free
Your flight
Is a true mystery
You fly and zip
Truly magical
Is your flight
A miracle wrapped up
In a little package
You hum along
Buzzing through life
Reminding us
Of what it means
To fly and to soar
And to zip along life
You are beautiful
Little hummingbird
Show us your grace
And your spirit
And your joy
At a glance you
Are there
Then just
As soon
As you come
You disappear
Again
As miraculous
And mysterious
As you entered

I saw you this morning,
You made me weak at the knees
Next time I'll brace myself
For when your smile breaks my heart
I was dreaming of a girl I know, and I woke up with these words barely lingering on my lips. I'm glad I could get them written down.

Walt Whitman
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

Sitting here on the cool bench
Looking at dark clouds pass over the sun
Seeing the dead leaves drift to the ground
Waves swell and become white.
I hear the birds calling each other
The smell of apples and spice is in the air
I fill my lungs with this special atmosphere
And I think to myself, it's not all bad.

"I am not desperate, but hopeful;
I am not elusive, but careful;
I am not devoid of thought, but private;
I am not naive, but at times, too trusting;
I am not a fantasy, but real with beauty and flaws, just like you.
I love you, but so far you are my fantasy;
When you are ready to be real, l will be real with you."

(take with)
falling slightly to smaller pieces when you leave
than when you're here my reach is
(both hands)
stronger and
the pieces stay in place.
not
shattered to a million pieces
(pull)
like clouds of dust in space, but
sections lumber clumsily
(over)
like stones rolled face to face.
