They wondered why mommy and daddy
   Why we loved each other
     We smiled at them and said
    If we could explain love
What would be the point of having it?

They pondered this
  And changed their minds
   Chasing each other instead
  Constantly on their toes
They stumbled and laugh

As daddy grabbed them
  And poked their little bellies
    Crying in laughter
   They ran
And mommy was not spared from

My tickles
  She pleaded for a surrender
   Instead I called for the children
  And we made mommy laugh so hard
She probably never wanted to make us breakfast

Ever again

I woke up from that dream
  And my hand was on my stomach
   I laughed a pitiful laugh
O Lord how I enjoyed my family

Each day, a wonderful dreams takes hold. It surfaces into my consciousness and spans upon its horizons. I become the sun, and she, the moon. We both exist, floating and wavering and become concerned with our lives. Our relationship is stable; or at least I like to think so. I provide the strength and the light, she provides the beauty and mirrors my colors into something more spectacular. When we kiss, that is our eclipse. When we die, we give our passions to another; and our roles change. I know my place in this universe, and she's still searching. That's why she orbits and rotates in an elipse. She knows not where she's going or how she's gotten through where she's been. I want to be the one to expound my light onto her, the way she does for me to this world; and I want nothing more, than to make that crescent smile a full moon laugh.

Are your proud of who I am?
Or are you rolling in your grave ashamed.
You were the pillar that held up my walls,
and answered all of my calls.

I never hurt so bad, so when did I ever lower my guard?
My dreams, my aspirations, my goals, my life revolved around you.
Always with a smile, I was a fool that never grew,
because you were the pillar who took all life threw.  

How much abuse did you endure? It must have been stressful, I'm sure.
I'm sorry my lover, I could have done more, if only I knew.
Not a day goes by that I'd rather be asleep than awake, so that I won’t have to relive all my mistakes.

Eventually your walls toppled over, so did my heart.
With the blink of the eye, your ardent flame came to an end.
I’m sorry my lover, if only I knew, I would beg god for more time.

So please tell me that you are not ashamed,
Send me a sign, that I have grown and became great!
That I am no longer the same and have changed!

Tell me my lover, for I am starting to think Ive grown but insane.
Am I everything you wished for?
Or your greatest mistake?

Forgive me lover,
For deep down I know I was the greatest mistake.

Well, that day was wonderful
  "Take a break" said my boss
      I smiled and said
   Daddy's staying home today
They all smiled and tackled me to the floor


My wife hugged me and gave me a kiss
  The children cried in disgust
And my love and I just laughed at our little angels


I woke up from that dream
  And kept laughing to myself
Most likely about nothing at all

They climbed on my lap
   Flailing and wondering why
     Daddy can't stay a little longer
   Mommy answers for me
He needs to work for your toys
And I laughed,

I work for your future
   I said

And I woke
   And cried for my children
Who didn't exist

In my dream
   I saw her smiling
     I walked to her and kissed her
       Goodmorning was the exchanges between us
      She smiled again and handed me breakfast
   The children screaming daddy across the room

I woke up with a tear
  Smiling
      And I reached for my love
          She wasn't there.
