one on the left and one on the right
us little ones in the middle
one on the left
one on the right
like bookends, bookends for me.

one on the left and one on the right
with four little ones in the middle
and i look to my left
and i look to my right
my sisters and i smile and see.

one on the left and one on the right
precious little ones in the middle
one on the left
and one on the right
strong, beautiful bookends for us.

and i hope one day,
when i'm finally a man,
i can be a bookend, too.
i'll be on the left
she'll be on the right
strong, beautiful bookends we'll be.

if the sun turned to black
and the moon dissolved to ash
the mountains to pebbles
the ocean to sand

if the stars fell like rain
and the clouds flew away like birds
the trees to kindling
the flowers withered with a small sad cry

my love
my love would remain.

i haven't been much good at rhyming
i know it's all about the timing
and i never can seem to get that right
but here i am, just trying in spite
...of it all...
uhg...
see, that's what i mean
i can't seem to keep a good rhyming scheme
try as i may and try as i might
i can't always get the words i want right
but here i am, i'm on a roll
so let me try to express how i ... feel?
no, ******, that's not even close
let me try again...
but here i am, i'm on a roll
i hope this poem doesn't take its toll
on our relationship, or anything
i'm just trying to say what i mean
and write a cute rhyming poem for you
but i can tell it sounds like poo.
hah! that was a joke! oh wait...
maybe the word "poo" is't appropriate
for a valentine's day poem, you see
so now i should just...

ok this is ridiculous, i'm done with the rhyming.
but here was my try at a rhyming poem.
it ******.
but i can't seem to even begin to write something that rhymes without it sounding cheezy and stupid anyway.
oh well, i tried.

uhh, I love you!

if i could,
i would smile softly at you, so that you would do the same
i would hold your face in my hands, so that you'd blush
i would kiss you on your forehead, so you would close your eyes
i would kiss you on your nose, so you would laugh
i would kiss you on your mouth, so you would kiss back.

if i could,
i would kiss you on your neck, to take your breath away
i would pull your arms around me, so you would hold me
i would kiss you on your collar bone, so you would squeeze me tight.

if i could,
i would pick you up, so you'd laugh again
i would set you down on your back, so you'd look into my eyes
i would sneak into you and steal a kiss, so you would want more
i would kiss you again, so you would grab the back of my neck.

if i could,
i would hold you the closest, so you'd know I'll never let go
i would say your name, so would say mine back
i would kiss you until our lips forgot how to do anything else
i would kiss you until my heart ached with the ecstacy
i would kiss you until our skin burst into flames and we would melt away into embers.

if i could,
i would.
but we'll wait for now,
won't we?

remember that time we traveled to a new world that time we rode a giant bird way up into the sky and it seemed like forever we were up there and then it came gliding back down and we weren't anywhere we'd ever even imagined the people weren't even people they were aliens and the buildings weren't even really buildings they were gods and the mountains were like mountains from a story that starts with "Once upon a time" i swore i'd never seen anything so beautiful until you'd stare into my eyes and i'd laugh to myself and say "oh yes, of course i have" and then we'd just keep exploring this strange strange land without a name with their strange people and their strange buildings and strange ways of doing things it felt like we were there forever but we weren't and it felt like we'd stay forever but we didn't and then i realized that in my heart and in my mind and in you that place will live forever and it will never die and never fade and never leave me so as long as you stick around that'd be great so i'll never forget the time my love and i went to a land so magical it only exists in stories that end with "Happily ever after"

If I had no eyes
I'd listen to your voice forever

If I had no ears
I'd gaze upon your your beauty forever

If I had no voice
I'd write you letters every minute

If I had nothing at all in the world...
That's okay, I'd still have you.

i've been cut open, child
i've been  c   u    t    o   p   e  n
she picked me up
put me down
cut me all over
and hung me out
i've been cut open, child
i've been all cut up

sew me all up, butter cup
sewmeallupagain
you're the only one with a needle
a thread
soft fingers
and the desire at all
so sew me all up, butter cup
sew me all the way up

nurse me back to health, my baby
dress that wound until it's clean
clear away the blood
change my bandages
help me sit up
help me out of bed
and nurse me back to health, my baby
nurse me back to strength again

now kiss me here, sweetheart
kiss me right ******* now
kiss me on the cheeck
the nose
the lips
all over
kiss me right ******* here, sweetheart
kiss me til i can't breathe no more.
