These days
Our love is in the airwaves
I'm riding on my reasons
Toes upon the seasons
Waiting for the winds
Take my seat
Beside your feelings
Hold on tight for
Teasing, reeling
Close my eyes to
See through ceilings
Send my thoughts to
Satellites
And wait for your reply
When I know to
Flee or fight
I'll hear it in the sky
your lips touch mine, a simple revelation
that begins a revolution
walls crumble
guards stumble
as you fumble for the key
you open me and see
that I am no longer who I used to be

you found the door
that leads straight to my core
and because of you I can love like never before

so now that I've moved on from all that has been
I plead to you, baby, kiss me again
Swear to me we can keep this as it is. This moment will be ours.
Swear to me, you wont forget, dont let it be for nothing that we met.
Let this always remain simple and happy.
The future will change the path is unclear.
Swear to me, in some way we'll always be this, as it is, right here.
Would you believe me if i said it was over, would you ask me why, plead with me to explain, even reconcider. Would you turn away or chase after me, quitly except or openly protest, demand a reason for this seemingly sudden change of heart.
      It scares me that I barely remember my life before, my past has ceased to be memories of my life and become a montage of our time.
Stop telling me im special
Please, you make it impossible to say what is dying to be said
Stop saying my eyes are like no other
There is so much you dont know
Stop looking at me like that
Do yourself a favor, im not the one to make you smile
Stop missing me, forget please forget
You have no idea what awaits, this is not a path you want to take
Stop writing to me, your words hurt in ways you cant understand
I've been here before, i cant go back im sorry
My mouths speaks words i did not intend
Why do I stand infront of you and pretend, that all I need is this?
The lies come easier these days, so quickly we release our old ways.
Theres no reason for this, not too long ago i would have been happy with kind words and a kiss.
So quickly this world can alter, never did i believe i'd be the one to falter
Words no longer offer reasurance that this might last, they mearly resurect deamons of the past...
Five months ago i said no and prayed you knew it ment yes, luckly for me you took that guess.
I never knew how far a little no could take us. now im stuck here trying to remember who i was before i was us
before we were lost.

Gary Butler
We often lay awake at night
   While others are asleep
No one knows our sorrow
   No one hears us weep
It's been many long years 'now'
   Since God took you's away
'But' We still feel your presence
   And 'that is' every day
May the 'wings of love' blow gently
   And 'whisper' for you's to hear
For we shall always love you's
   And forever hold you's dear
We know what's in our hearts
   And 'that's' coming from above
That you 'both' showed courage and compassion
   And you 'both' showed loyalty and love
We may be far apart now
   And not be able to touch
For we can only 'feel' and 'say'
   We loved you's very much
In life we loved you's dearly
   In death we'll do the same
So stay in our hearts and memories
   Until we meet again
                                    Amen
I wrote this poem dedicated to 2 beautiful girls who died in a house fire. One was my niece Leah aged 14 and the other her brothers fiance Vicky aged 19.
i'm sorry that i don't stop over more. i miss you and my brother.
i'm sorry you live so far away now, it makes it hard for us to see each other.
i'm sorry that i never told anyone what you did to me.
i'm sorry that i didn't meet you before, but also sorry if i've misinterpreted things.
sorry for ALL the things i've kept hidden from you.
sorry for the time i cut your bangs funny, i really didn't mean to even though you think i did
sorry for the time i went off on you about talking to my mom behind my back
sorry if i'm not everything you hoped i'd be

but i'm mostly sorry for myself, because i wish i had made different choices and done things differently.
Our lives are full of constant manipulation
Yet no one can seem to find any real solution,
Finally I realize that we are fully capable
And that our lives are actually quite escapable,
Therefore I plead with you to join my silent revolution
In order to create an awe-inspiring instituition,
That will result in a cease of being susceptible
And instead further lead to the creation of an individual,
An individual with the choice to either accept conformity
Or to stand up against normality
And create an altogether new formality,

So I ask you,

Will you join me and build upon this realization
Or forever live among a simple and mundane regularity?
