Love bleeds
From my body
In lay...
And yet
You still insist
To stay...

He laughs at the way
I make lucky paper stars
When I'm anxious
or scared
or sad
or lonely.
He thinks it's cute,
Or so he says.
But when he sees me making them
He comes to sit with me
And I've started to fill
jars of stars
A lot slower
Because I like his smile
when he sits with me.

Filipino rose
Heaven's own;
Her winged abode
I want to settle into.

When I can no longer discern the path
when I am seeking a seer's looking glass
I walk miles of desert alone, travel years from home
to stand hot or cold, in a wilderness, fragile or strong
in storms, sun sweltered and windblown.
I believe in fire, the burning into ashes reborn
look for defining lines, watch for the telling signs
I listen for the music of words, spoken softly sweet
for love notes, tucked in heart, to keep.

Last night I could not sleep
with visions of the Pin-up
Girl of past

How she laid(y) there
with arms spread
and legs bent

There!
on the dust of cobwebs

"Let me Go" she vociferates
into her soft safe place

But, I dream still
of a night
in your land of plenty

Honey!

I'll always have something
To say
To make you know
Your the center of the universe
I'll always be able  to make
You feel
Like no one else ever could
Your the center of a universe

It's in me
If it's in me
It's in you
If not now
Just believe
I am you
And one day
Not now becomes forever

Not now
I hold you in my arms
Not now
We're physically close
Not now
I am a stranger
Right now
The love you need
To be strong
I
Am
You

Finding love


The love I need to be strong

I'll always have a body
To touch
And despite any distance
My obdurate soul
I'll always fall in line
You have control
I'll always be able to make
You feel
Your in control like no one else can be
Not even the hands that touch me

When you can't

Forever
The words you speak
Forever
The way they reach me
Forever
Love we look for
Right now
The love we have found

It's in me
So it's in you
Your inside me
I'll be inside you
With my hands to touch
What no ones ever seen
Or even realized
Existed

You are my angel
I try to explain
When I know I can't
I can't understand

I love you
And anyone that thinks
They love you more
Can go to hell
I love you more
I love the stars and universe
Your a part of
Can I be a part of you?

Forever
Forever
Forever
For now and always

And always and always
