Jacob dear you are still here
Living in my heart
With every beat, the memory
Of you held in my arms

The day we met although short lived
It's you I still adore
But who am I to question why
God needed you more

As surly as I live we'll meet again
On the other side
But until then I will keep you in
Both my heart and mind
Kim Johanna Baker's poem Jacob touched me so much I was moved to write a poem...
My room is all cleaned up
and my confidence is back
I have tell you now
living hasn't always been my knack
But with this sweet essence of acceptance
I think I've found my nitch
yes when people like my art
I find Im not so much a *****.
Swing low baby,
Hit me right below the knee
I will fall to the ground, a desperate sound
Begin to hear my plea

How i loved thee, how I loved thee.
Separate your view of me
From what ever you expect it to be
let go of what you think you thought...

I'm sick of drawing lines to reach
the marks you may have set for me
But honey let me tell you
I'm in love.
Its not right,
Not exactly what I Thought
it might
be because
What you have
is
very very new.
Every single time you try
to tame the flaming fire inside
You have to dim the lights a little
You have to stiffen the bribe.
And every single time you try
to tame the flaming fire inside
I see your lights I see your lights
they dim.

Don't loosen my load
Dont take the long road
dont leave me behind
Hi and dry
I want to try I want to try.

I'm floating in outer space,
Chasing the sun like a lunatic,
Given a universe with no center,
Every motive is purely synthetic.
Sometimes, I wish I was like you,
With sunshine in my lungs,
You were installed in the right track,
To your center, you're strung.

But here I thrive in the darkness,
Hidden from your perfect curves,
My points far beyond the margins,
Contributing nothing more or less.

But you look me in the eye,
and you deny any other parallel universe,
You point at the clock,
And you tell me nine to five is what it is.
So I never want to be you,
Smaller than the orbit your tucked under,
I'd rather drink this grey oxygen,
If it means your borders will be open to wander.

My world will remain inferior to gravity,
A push and pull meant to celebrate the chaos,
Maybe one day the rocks will fall, gravity winning,
I only wish, I would've gotten a hold of the outer layers.*

Her body belonged to the ocean
and her heart to the stars
and the moon
and the night
Her lust for love and adventure
was deeper
Than all the secrets
of the ancient
and forbidden seas
She was a mermaid
with the blood of eternity
and the hope of dreams

I left you in the woods
Now you can haunt me
