A Bridge to your Heart!

Michael Murphy

A Bridge to your Heart!

I stand here on river's edge trembling with excitement
Gazing through the morning mist to distant shore I seek
A vision, once only dream, now slowly reveals

A silhouette of form so wondrous appears
The answer to the only prayer I've ever prayed
The destination of the only path, I've ever traveled

Only raging water of pounding force separates me from journeys end
Will it be the end of me, or will it be my destiny?

Für Elise

Für Elise

She wears the sea
in her eyes
and dances with the sand
beneath her feet

I would swear I could hear
the sun playing on the ivory
keys of her smile

and at night when the wind
is right across the sound

she runs her fingers
through my waves
and lingers while she plays

Für Elise on a black piano.

You're Never Gone

Makenzie Odom

You're Never Gone

I keep on calling and I don’t know why,
I was hoping the pain would be gone by now.
But I guess when there are so many memories,
Nothing is ever really gone.

Maybe someday you’ll understand—
How it was for me from beginning to end.
You took a piece of me—
One that I never thought you had;
And now there’s a hole in my heart,
From where you up and left.

And even though you’re gone,
I still think about you.
It may **** me inside,
But the pain is what keeps me alive.

I’ll cherish all the moments we had together.
Maybe someday we’ll see each other and talk,
But until then—
In my heart, your memory will live on.

Twenty-two Years

Twenty-two Years

At twenty-two years of age
I have experienced more death
than many of my elders.
In the past year alone
one expended his brains onto the ceiling
one died a mystery
face down in the river
one died in a car crash
on the run from the law
and the last faded into an ****** induced dream.
Twenty-two years
and I can no longer count the lost.

fall silent absorbed by earth

Dear Sister

Dear Sister

If I could,
I'd steal a star.
I'd wrap it up in the night sky
So that you'd never forget
That you're not alone.

If I could,
I'd tame the power of the sun
To create light in your world that's gone dark.
So that you could find your way out
And find happiness in a new place.

If I could,
I'd put a cloud in a bowl.
It'll be a safe place for you to hide your secrets.
And when it rains,
The clouds will take your sadness away.

If I had the power,
I'd change your world
Because the one you live in scares you.
Take my world
Make it yours.
