The Storm

Who is the cause
Of all this fussing and fighting
The storms that are brewing
The thunder and lightning

I say that it's you
while you say that it's me

We throw angry words
Into the wind
Best hold on tight
As hurricane season begins

You blame it on me
I blame it on you

No early warning
This twister of fate
This destroyer of lives
This dust storm of hate

While it could be me
I still think that it's you

Then come the tears
The flash flood without warning
Into the night
Until early morning

While it might be you
you still think that it's me

If we go through a drought
In our love together
There is never a doubt
We're the perfect storm for each other

When it comes down to it
I guess it's the both of us

With You all I felt was
Fire
A burning passion tinted with
Ecstasy and
Desire
A closeness bound by
Scars and shared
Secrets

But

With You all I felt was
Protected
Police tape signed with
Chivalry and
Endearment
A closeness bound by
Texts and tender
Friendships

And now

All I feel is torn
between
aching desire
and passionless safety
I wrote this after reading a quote; "You never feel the same love twice"

Lord, is it true
You keep the tears I have shed
The ones that fall so heavy
Like the precious blood you bled

Do you keep a count
Of each lonely sad lament
A record written down
Of each feeble plea I've sent

Lord, is it true
You know each mornful wail
Every thought of sadness
Every heart wrenching tale

Lord, I know it is true
Written in the 56:8 of Paslm
Not one tear has ever escaped
The healing of your balm.

somedays you are up somedays you are down
somedays you will smile somedays you will frown
but when the sun comes the smile is there to stay
it will make you happy and take the frown away.

it will lift your heart and bring you happiness
blues they disappear take away distress
just a little sunshine can fill you with delight
make life seem worthwhile make life seem so bright

Have you ever seen the sun rise
After a big fat buffalo's stampede
Have you ever seen the sun rise
On a big fat salt lake in the West

Have you ever seen the moon shine
In unison like the stars in heaven
Have you ever seen the clouds darken
At a speed unmatched by light

Have you ever seen the loving eyes
Of someone who'd do anything for you
Have you ever seen the love
People are so eager to give

Have you ever stood still
To unbind yourself from the biases put before you
Have you ever stood still
To realize that you are so incredibly small

Have you ever stood still
That every big person started out small, too
Have you ever stood still
To love all the details

Have you ever stood still
To see the beauty all around you
Have you ever stood still
That you are loved
So when you complain, remind yourself that life is omniscient and you are but a traveler passing through.

Your chances of being happy and successful depend solely on you. Not on society, your parents, your friends or your peers. Just you. That must feel like an awful lot of pressure, but you know what? Take it easy. As long as you do what you love and you love what you do, you'll get there in your own special way. Just be yourself :)

Everyone has a different path; everyone grew up to a variety of differing perspectives. Don't be stopped by your surroundings; and don't be stopped by yourself. If you're afraid, face it...step by step. As I always say: "Baby steps...you'll get there".

Don't give up hope.

You're unmatched.
You're unprecedented.
You're irreplaceable.

Now, you better believe it!

silence claims me because I want it to.
I want the silence to speak
and silence does speak;
loud and clear and precise;
with no admixture of emotion
no judgement no applause
no pretence and definitely no lies

Those pale eyes
And the flushed face
A death-like appearance
And bloodless veins
Can they allow
the wilted lips
to smile
when you are away
Gone without
A word of explanation
And leaving me
with question marks
If only you knew
how agitated this heart is
And if only
the heart knew
how to wince..

I hold an umbrella
Turned inside out and filled with sand
Cradled somehow beneath my grip.
You take my other hand
So I let it slip

Can you hear me

I keep calling out to you

during the day

in the night

in the crowds

and when I am alone

Did you hear me ??

I can't explain what it feels like
to be alone without you;
it feels like a void
a huge gap in time
a long dark tunnel
no light until the end
and I can’t walk that far alone
without you being here with me,
because I just can’t
and I don’t know why.

I wish the time
that we were together
is back for a while
the time that was the best
for two of us to feel,
to love and smile.

And I wait patiently today
for the time to come
when we will be together
and our hands will meet
never to part
never to miss the other
and in our hearts we fill
our love so sweet.
