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
"If love could be explained, it would be nothing more than science. True love cannot be estimated or weighed. It can only be prepared for. However, even then, the data always changes. Look at it such, dear child, and maybe you'll understand, being a scholar and such." - Gaia(character from my book)

Idiosyncrasy
I never get what I want
so I guess I'll just want
for you to not feel the same
for you to go away
hoping*
just hoping
you'll stay.
Preparing myself when you leave.

Maybe it's a turning point on this road
A calling I'm not listening to
But the calling's got your name
all over it, all over everything

This fire that got ignited
will go off without your care
And I will look at other men
but I need you to be there...

It's a tensiOn I can't reconcile
I fear the shutdown
Drowning again the way I did
I'm trapped in between!

I need your Kiss real bad
I feel the calling in the train
It's a faceless impulse...

Maybe I'm not listening
but your song fills the air I'm breathing
I am getting closer
To the time when things go right
This is my greatest fear however
Gives me nightmares late at night

Something has got to give
As I live and breathe
Trying to be someone that clearly I am not
Has got me dropping to my knees

I will pray for Gods help
I will beg and plead
Until I start believing
I have all that I need

Show me there's a glimmer
Of hope I can achieve
A triumphant minor victory
Not unlike the air in which I breathe

I reach but cannot grab it
A forgotten memory
Recalling my lost childhood
Back when I held a lead

When I still had time to catch up
No matter what my speed
The challenge set before me
The final victory

Trees are Earth's way of speaking
To a listening Heaven
In their greenery of reaching
Out to God's kingdom come

Send down your rain of blessing
Heaven in your listening
Wash us with forgiveness
Return this your sovereign land
Quote set to poem...
Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heavens . Ravindranath Tagore
cant do right for doing wrong
been caught short for far too long
repeatedly beaten down for being proud
refusing to play along
thats the weakness in being strong
