Circa 1994
I was there for a while,
The tops of my feet
Just skimming cloud nine.

Baby, I danced on air.

But then I looked down at the treetops,
And I traded paradise for earth.

Because I couldn't feel love or life or anything up there.
But on earth I can feel dead loveless human beings.
And aren't they worth that fall.
I felt an overlap.
And my reflection almost looked familiar.
I felt once,
And I'll feel again
And I'll overcome whatever it is
That cursed me from my body.
His eyes are like sapphire jewels waiting to be picked up,
they longed for love so pure and they picked up by the poorest female around.
Hair will cover the eyes of the warmest heart,
the one which will not love the way he has done years before.
I don’t want to intrude upon your life, sweet sir,
please let me, remind you why you tried.
I want to see you fly higher than the clouds above,
forming fictional minds to dream above.
I don’t, want to feel the cold weather anymore,
please let the rain pour one last time as I cling to you tight.
Don’t forget me, please don’t leave me,
don’t leave me behind in this sweet ride of pain.
You'll think you have me in the palm of your hand and like snow I leave only water, but don't soak yourself over cold things and empty-looking glasses, because that is what will keep you going and make you strong. Don't ignore it's existence because it has no bright colors or fear when the warmth hits your hands that touched something so frozen, and so heartless that warmth burns, because eventually the burning will go away and the warmth will flow throughout. You aren't glass and going from cold to hot won't shatter you, just hold yourself together. In the end I know my words are shunned, and shammed, but I still say 'get well soon'.
To you,

I  am sorry for being weak
In my faith
Though I always say
I always believe



To myself,

I am sorry for dreaming too much
For not knowing your destiny
For asking God what He wants for you
For floating all the time
And sometimes you feel
You are so tired
And only wanted peace...

Thank you for both of you for not giving up!
There is reason not to give up
Its hard to make it through
each day I'm left to spend
with chin falling on fist
from rising thoughts of you.
An hour drones and though
closer to you I know
I am, I'm not complete
So lonely, empty.  Here
I lie and concentrate
with thoughts I must compete
to keep myself from our
temple, shelter, shower
Love me, love you, over
and over everything
