Time has been sustained with the light

it is late

You infest my thoughts

Like a cancer that has taken control of my actions

How do you do it?

Snake through the nerves in my eyes deep into my head

Forcing your words in and tears out,

Seeping over the brim of my soul

Get out, get out, get out.

There is no more room in this heart or this head.

It is so worn from you,

so tired.

Please, let me be, for I am so tired

So restless

May the sun find you when all you encounter is cold and dark
If I am not there let it bring you the spark
The brief moment of joy that two people can share
When their lips touch or their eyes catch in stare
I hope it will find you late in the night
And I hope it will bring you hope and light
let it make you laugh and smile and smother all fear
and may you think of me fondly everytime it appears.

Let me have the courage to do what is right
Let me have hope where there is none
Give me faith in others, and myself
And let me have love in my heart and find it in those who I love.

Tell me your hopes and dreams
I want to know them
Share your secrets and fears
I want to hear them
Show me your mistakes and lies
I will adore them

No matter what you dare to dream
What you’re scared to say
Or what you want to hide
I am here
To tell you it will be ok
And I know because…

All the secrets I kept
And all the mistakes I made
Helped me find you.

Oh devious Time….
Give me a minute, a second
Let me have a moment of you
My soles are torn and weary
And my eyes heavy and weak

I have ran so long with you at my heals
And I have tried to hide in every possible space
But it is time, Time for me to rest and to sleep

So kiss me hard and squeeze me tight
For I don’t think I’ll see you for while, Time.
But as much as I ran, and as much as I hid
I don’t regret anything you did
All the laughter was worth all the tears
And I’m glad you’ve been with me through all the years
Like the breeze of fall or the smell of spring I have felt your presence
And how fast it all went by

Oh astonishing time
Be fleeting.

He said I was pretty
This boy of fifteen
He can’t even drive but thinks he knows what love means

We walked  through the woods with just a  flashlight
And we walked and talked and got lost in the night
There was laughter and tears and secrets that were shared
He gave me his jacket and held my hand when I got scared

He said he’d treat me better than anyone ever had
And  he promised to never let me be sad
He said all the things that  I wanted them to say
All the people that I loved but refused  to stay

His face is so sad and his words are so sweet
I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek
For I know he’ll meet someone young and kind
With a contagious laugh and a beautiful mind

And he’ll hold her hand when she gets scared
And surprise her with hugs just to show that he cares
But for tonight I’m glad it was me
For tonight
He tells me I’m pretty.

Oh the beautiful words that there are
Let them appear as morning dew
I’ll say them as seeds and plant them as trees
And grow beautiful letters and poems for you
And through the years if there are tears
And our love should wilt away
I shall blow a breeze to scatter the leaves
So that the words may not decay
By the wind may they be tossed and taken,
Lost in the loveliness of the world
So that the presence of our love will not be forsaken
But with the lives of others be furled.
