A shooting star goes whooshing by
Across the darkness of the sky
As if to send a sparkling sign
In the shape of a bright light
A sign to those who look up at night
To tell them they will be alright
A sign to give a sense to them
That all will be right again
The world will make sense soon
As sure as there will be a moon
So if you happen to see this star
Remember that from afar
There is a star that is shining bright
Waiting to tell you that all is right

I'm Not Enough

I'm Not Enough

Everyone always talks about how beautiful she is and how much everyone loves her
And I agree, I think she is beautiful and I love her
And I bet you could too
You're already half way there
You just need to love her.
I'd love her too
And I know she wants you to love her, I can tell by the way she talks about you
And by the way I want to hit her when she does.
But you see
I think you're beautiful
And I love you
So can't that be enough?
I might not be as perfect as her but can I be enough?
And now I'm afraid to mention her name in a conversation
Because you will realized how much you two deserve each other
You have been working so hard at her for so long
And I may not write beautifully
Or take stunning photos
Or act as mysterious
But I want to be enough for you
I want to prove that you don't need more
But I cant prove that to you until I believe it myself
And I don't
I believe you can do so much better than me
And I'm afraid you'll come home and realize that she
Is so much better than me.

Here and now, alone.
Missing you, empty again.
I ******* love you.

The Ocean's Lullaby

The Ocean's Lullaby

She wanted the waves
Of the bounding main
To lull her
To blanket her
To drowse her
With their lethargic drift
To sway her tired limbs
And pull her deeper
Into the blue, sedating tides

Chocolate Men

Chocolate Men

Men are like chocolates
some to soft, some to hard
some sweet and tasty
some dark and nasty
I’ve tried a few in my time
on some I wouldn’t spend a dime
I like the ones that melt in my mouth not in my hand
add a few nuts, yummm, that’s grand
men are like chocolates
some flavoursome, some not

Silence Is Golden

Silence Is Golden

I will not show my disappointment
I will not express my sadness
I will sit quietly and I will wait
I have always done my best
To be calm
But I have failed many times
I will always be a failure
But I will fail silently

Rabia al Basri

Reality

In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.
Speech is born out of longing,
True description from the real taste.
The one who tastes, knows;
the one who explains, lies.
How can you describe the true form of Something
In whose presence you are blotted out?
And in whose being you still exist?
And who lives as a sign for your journey?
