I wish I could sleep next to you right now
I miss how your body feels next to mine
I miss how you're holding me,
Putting your arms around,
And how you fall asleep faster than I.

As the moon is full in sight
I lay awake at night
thinking of you

The stars shine in the sky
waving to say goodbye
as a boy travels far far away
from someone who wants him to stay

A spark that ignites
suddenly feeling so bright
The soul is crawling its way through


Mirror mirror on the wall
who’s the brightest of them all?

It’s you

It’s you

goodnight stars
you have been good to me

goodnight to the past
and recent regrets
doubts that swirl in my brain
like a never-ending current
you're gone too

gone are the thoughts that don't serve me
serve in a way that gratitude
and appreciation do


I'm sleepy now
with a kiss of happiness
and love so sweetly
whispering beneath me
from my pillow

Moonbeams dance from up high,
While stars their secrets keep,
And the heavens slumber in a velvet sky
As gentle dreams run deep.

Please close your eyes and drift away
On wings of peaceful rest,
Until the morning light breaks soft and new
And wakes you at your best.

I wish the silence goodnight
In case it cannot find its voice
I wish the silence goodnight
In case it has no choice

I wish the silence goodnight
Because however it came to be
The silence on this starless night
Silently misses me

Magnolia flowers!
Close your bloodshot eyes.
It's time to pray
for mercy in the manufactured marathon.
You'll not be running, or?
May their flesh match souls,
And words detail what is.

Grandma would smack my hand
Gently
She meant well and I'd feel guilty
Lessons she'd learned passed to me
The lore solidified this importance
A compromise? To the salon!

I'd pick at my nail polish
A compromise from the worst?
Chipping and scraping them bare
Until they were ugly
Back to boy hands

Tomorrow could be life changing
Yet I'd face it without rest
Will or would?
Fine, I'll stop picking.

As I gaze at the Midnight Moon,
breathing slowly as I Sigh.
It wishes Me Goodnight,
and assures Me I won't Die.
The Sun will show it's Face,
after the Moon falls off to Sleep.
When the new Day has Dawned,
My Tears begin to Weep.
Life was a Beautiful Teacher,
that smothered Me with Kisses.
Alas I forget all My Lessons,
Hence I'm losing on the Blisses.
Time was a cruel Companion,
Which I lost somewhere on the Way.
Love was just a Friend of Mine,
Who One Day........ran Away.
