His eyes were fire
His soul was ash

Turn Off The Lights Jun 2016

I am a one love at a time kind of girl
The memory of his smile
Still etched on my pillow
His scent
All over my room
Empty now since you left
Two years ago

I am a one love at a time kind of girl
And every love is more heady
More enthrancing than the last
2010 lasted two yearsand a lot of tears
But a stronger heart
2012 lasted two years and a lot of tears
But a wiser heart
2016 is just over now
And it has been two years
I wonder still, what will I have learned,
Now?
I still wonder, how can I love more than I loved you?
But then again
I asked myself that question
Twice already...
As I get older I realize,
The last person I will love will be loved
In a way I have never loved anyone else yet
**How wonderful to realize I have not yet loved as deeply as my heart can love
And what a love it will be

Shuffle, repeat

I went through all the steps

I selected the songs
Carefully (you can never be too careful with song lyrics)
I added them to a brand new playlist
Called it, Pour Toi
Thoughtfully (French has always been between you and I)
I found a memory stick and
The playlist was there, in my pocket, for a week
When we went to the beach
When I came for the birthday
When we had our last lunch
The playlist was there, in my pocket, for a week

I went through all the steps
Save for the
Last
One.
I wanted to be selfish.
I wanted to give it to you.
Instead I was selfless.
I wanted you happy more than I wanted you with me.

*I wonder when those songs will stop playing you in my mind

Sun

Gather hope in a cloak of dreams
Hide it in the folds of your heart
The sun will shine for you
Everytime
You reach
Into yourself

Damoclès

She was waiting for another hand in hers
Not for a sword through her heart

The winning prize

Once upon a time
A life was lost in the midst of lies
Truths were not told as they should
And wars began
Pain turned into a mistress all were doomed with
Each home was slayed with loss
A life was stolen among the good
To be found again only an act of truth
Could unleash the power of all things good
For truth is the only key
Of peace, love and action
And only in times of war
Can truth be set as the winning prize
To set a drop of water
Into an ocean of flames
And drown the pain of death
With the sparks of hope
Hope for a brave soul
Aiming for peace
And hoping for a better tomorrow.
She held her hands open in surrender
Did not flinch as death ignited through her body
Like a velvet blanket it covered her
Draping its dark shadows upon her open hands

Once upon a time
A little girl died
Killed by the misshapes of the world she lived in
*Hope bloomed

More than words

The music is innocent
But the words are powerful
