Currently,
I find that
All I want
Is to roll over
And drape my arm around you

I can practically see the sunlight around us,
Lighting up the dust motes in the air
The birds are loudly chirping;
They awakened us from our slumber

If only life was as good as my imagination

me.gs

I can't sleep
Because once again,
You are on my mind,
Invading every corner and space
I just can't get a moment to myself,
Can I?

Can I?

me.gs

Goodbye, Ryanson.
You will be so missed.
Your kindness, goofiness, and welcoming nature were
Rare.
And so welcome in day-to-day life.
I remember
You were walking through school with a plate of cookies, and
I
Asked if I could have
One.
You gave me the whole plate.

If that doesn't tell people what kind of person you are,
Were,
...Then I don't know what to say.

Goodbye, Ryanson.
Rest in peace.
You will be so missed.

me.gs

The girl with the wooden heart
Ka-thunk, ka-thunk
Living, growing, breathing, beautiful,
Wood.

And then it petrified, fossilized,
Became stone.

Because some pain just stops you
Dead.
And you can't move past it.

me.gs

God, I'm just
So
Done
Begging for scraps from you,
Chasing after you,
Always being your second choice

I deserve more and better.
And you don't even realize what you do.
Which makes it worse.

God, I think
I'm
In love with
You.

But I can't do this.

We're leaving,
And you'll never even know.

Goodbye, I guess.
I hope we meet again.

me.gs

I graduate high school in four days, and
There's so much I haven't done or said
And I wonder
Is it because I never got the chance?
Or did I just miss it because I was waiting for the "perfect time"?

me.gs

It smells...
Sweet and earthy.
With the water giving a hint of acidity,
And the rocks, some solidness...

This, This is a sensory experience I could devour forever.

(And the sun, it just... lightens everything up.
The
Tiniest
Bit.)

me.gs

The gradient of the sky, it
Makes my heart ache
Just the teeniest bit

White to blue.
Pure to sad.
Purely sad.

Too many of us are.

me.gs

Soft green lances of grass
Sweet and supple, I imagine.

They tower up into the sky,
Reaching, reaching, reaching,
A contrast to the cold hard dark rocks in the lake.

One stretches up,
The other hunkers low.
But it is not like they have a Choice in the matter.
That is how, why, and wherefore they were created.
We all have a different purpose in life.

me.gs

The sweet and sour green taste in my mouth
Reminds me of the leaves in the trees,
In the sun.

Light and snappy, all at once.

me.gs

The sunlight dances off the water,
Playfully carousing on the overhanging branches

How lucky we are,
To have something bring us light, life, and love
Every day.

me.gs

I don't know where I'm drifting
But I honestly don't mind
As long as I
Find
What I'm looking for:
The strength
To be
Kind

(It's hard when you're big and tall and strong and hurt)

me.gs

As I look above the trees,
There lies the sun.

And if I turn 180 degrees,
The moon opposes me.

The sun and the moon,
Separated only by a lake.

Such small distance,
Yet it contains such depth!

me.gs

What do you do
When you're surrounded by Blue?
Blue skies,
Blue water,
Blue flowers...

The sun beats down,
Shimmering White on the water

When we are but Blue,
One can only hope for some
White light
To turn the melancholy
Into pure Gold

me.gs

The spider spins its web,
Oblivious to the
Entire Universe around it

Such small focus!
How admirable.

me.gs

Dust motes float through the air,
Brilliantly illuminated by the setting sun

The light makes the leaves glow,
Turning them a golden green color

The wind pushes my canoe,
Bringing me where it pleases

Towards foreign shores we drift,
Happily and quietly,
With the peaceful sun and gentle air.

me.gs

I am weary.

My joints ache and crack and crunch and pop,
And my eyes droop,
                                   lower,
                                              lower,

F
   a
     l
      l
       i
        n
          g

I should like to lay flat next to you.
You'd heal me better than any balm or bandage.

me.gs

"Lonely"
The word sits there,
Mocking me.
How can I protest and say I am not, when
Your heartbeat is the Only thing I want to hear
And your sweet, soft, heady scent is all I want to breathe

I'd choose your arms over a bed any day.

Too bad I'm stuck with what I have.

me.gs

I'm falling asleep
Passing into the blackness
I want to never return

But going in, it
Re-energizes me
And I come out,
Wanting never to
Leave the light again.

I am so...
Wishy-washy.

me.gs

Raindrops falling
Dark receding
Here comes hope,
In the guise of the Sun,
Riding a new day

me.gs

Just thinking of you,
And the light shining out of your face

You are just too sunny
For a sad soul like
Me

Maybe if I go to bed now
I'll brighten with the rising sun.

me.gs

You make flowers grow in my chest
Where once there was just heaviness

And you make the sun shine out of my eyes
Where once there were only clouds

me.gs

I say your name like it's a *******
Prayer and I'm drowning and it's the Only thing that might save me

me.gs

Quilt on the laundry lines,
Sheets and blankets too
Running through it all,
Playing games,
Racing...

Oh the magic!
Laundry lines make a mystical land!

me.gs

Leap from the forest,
Over the trees,
Faster than the wolves,
Faster than the breeze!

Run, run, fast as you can,
No one can catch me,
Nobody can!

Running towards the sun,
Like I was shot from a gun!

(I don't even know what I'm running from.)

me.gs

The daffodils are sprouting,
So much color in the ground!
The birds are singing sweetly,
And as I look around,
I see color everywhere,
And I hear it too - the sound
Of birds
And bees
And trees,
Far, far off the ground

me.gs

Rough bark
Feels strong
Long high branches
They tell a story
I wonder what it is
Is it happy or sad? Would
It make me joyful or mad?
Is it a story for the ages,
And if so,
How many
Pages
Would it fill?

So many trees
So many pages

I should like to read them
All

me.gs

The duck walks from the water

Springing in the breeze, I
See Daffodils
I can hear conversation across the bay,
Lilting
The flutter of the chickadee's wings,
Blackbirds chasing each other in the sky
Clouds drift on high,
The sun warms my back,
And,
Life
Is beautiful.
     Simply
               Marvelous

me.gs

Pine tree tops
Adorned with little cones -crowns-
The jewel of the heavens,
Brown and prickly

Beauty comes in many forms
It's a shame we don't always see it.

me.gs

Flowering buds
New life
Fresh scents
High heights
Good taste
Better smell
Happy here
Not in hell

me.gs

Little red fingers
Atop little red hands
Adorning little red arms
Poking through the leaves
What are they reaching for?

Whatever it is, I wish them luck

We all reach for something, but how many of us
Actually get it?

me.gs

The birds are so active!
Screeching,
Hollering,
They turn the forest into a busy marketplace,
Each hawking their wares,
Buying or selling

And when the sun goes down,
Homeward bound, they are!
Packing out,
To wait for the next day
In the busy bird marketplace

me.gs

Moss-on-rocks
Lichen on trees
Humans on earth

We are all rooted to something,
For better or for worse

(In our case, definitely worse)
Sadly.

me.gs

The clouds drift across the sky
Sweeping the birds' songs over the land
I wonder
What else do they bring with them?

me.gs

I think perhaps you are a daffodil,
A Hardy creature
Blooming before the rest of us even poke up our heads
Beautiful,
Radiant.
Like a little sun.

me.gs

Your lips look so inviting
More than a tall glass of lemonade,
More than a cold shower after a run,
More than a pile of leaves in the fall

How I wish I could just
Dive right in!

me.gs

Just
Being in your arms
Would make me feel better than
And soup or medicine
Could

me.gs

I want to walk through the city with you,
Two drops in an ocean.
Anonymous.

Just you and I in a million

me.gs

I think there must be a waterfall in my chest
Because whenever I even think of you
I can just hear my feelings pouring forth,
Gushing,
Flooding my heart
With pure devotion

It honestly terrifies me
How much you mean to me

I'm slowly drowning in these feelings
And it's getting hard to breathe
But you probably don't even care
You're above feelings,
I bet

Especially about me

me.gs

Skeletal fingers
Reaching towards the sky
Wishing, hoping, wanting
For just a drop
Of water

They plead and beg
But nothing will come
Of it

me.gs

Your face,
More gentle than how the trees touch the water
How you move,
More graceful than the dance of branches in the wind
Your laugh,
Bubbling forth more peacefully than a stream

Nature is so beautiful
And it has captured my heart
But you just about

Have it beat

me.gs

Cold, clawed hands
       Gasping,
Reaching,

Tearing me

Apart




I'm drowning

me.gs

No words
Only pictures

I don't really know
What I could say that
Would even compare
To the beauty
Of the sunset before me

(This happens more than you'd think)

me.gs

Tonight is a night
For cheap cigarettes and cheaper whiskey
For getting mad at your parents
Who never taught you to love yourself
For letting those thoughts run through your head that
You'd never even consider if you were sober
For sitting in the cold and letting yourself freeze because
You deserve it

Tonight is a night for angry faces and angrier thoughts
For wallowing in self-pity

Tonight
Is a night
To be weak

Because when morning comes
You'll pretend it never happened

me.gs

The cold wind bites

It lets me know

I do not belong up here

I am not a tree, tall
Though I am.

I think, perhaps, I am not hardy enough,
Not uncomplaining enough

I am only a visitor,

Tem-po-rar-y

me.gs

Standing high in the trees,
I am
Untouchable

One with the branches and bark
Smelling of sap and needles

If only I could just...

Melt into the wood
And
Be done with all this

me.gs

I can feel the heartbeat of the tree,
Gentle, soft,
Contrasting with mine
Harsh, unyielding.

Ah,
To be so
Green and simple!

Pleasantly strong,
A wonder to all,
And achingly, simply,
Happy

me.gs

Sometimes my joints ache so  much

And, I think,
Nothing could heal them
Quite like you

me.gs

Nothing fills the air,
Save the workings of a solitary woodpecker,
Not concerned with much,
Mind you,
But the tree and itself.

I should think all should strive for that:
Simple thoughts,
Simple doings,
Simple happiness,

And simple life.

me.gs

You might have it beat,
Though.

The sun can't hope
To
Compare to your beauty,
And radiance.

Pure and simple.
You are nothing but goodness.

me.gs
