blind diner windows
scribbling absentmindedly
dog-eared carte du jour

love unconditionally
love limitlessly
love infinitely
love with every inch of your being
and keep loving for as long as you live
even if you get nothing at all in return
be the one that gave everything you could,
not the one that took everything they had

A sunflower
Growing in a garden of roses
Searching for its home
Always wandering,
Alone.

A sunflower,
With auras of red,
White,
And yellow.
Hues entwined
In a weave so painfully mellow.

In a garden of roses,
Moving, growing, searching
A sunflower remains
Alone.

are you mad
at what i said
or are you mad
because it’s true?

Bright  little star above
Stay with me forever
While I’m looking at you
in the night .
I know he is watching too!

The flowers keep wilting,
For they know that you’ve gone.
They sing out their lonely, heartbroken song.

They long for your touch,
Attention,
And care,
Breathing your water,
They thirst for your air.

They live out the days,
In their milky white vase,
Murky water subsiding,
Reflecting your face.

keep getting swallowed up
missed the teeth again
scaled right enough to get tossed back
and just be a lump in a belly cry Wolf

when i fell in love
it was not because i was searching
for a soul to patch my wounds
but instead because
you were the first person
that i have ever wanted
to make permanent in my life

the finding of myself:
country music and gold jewelry
the color yellow, and God
