Light as a feather
Drawn by winds, the paper flies
Paperweight it needs

Bills in paper nails
Value packed, together stacked
Business they made

Light as a feather
Changes course, as does the wind
Fair weather friend

Be not the paper
On the nail, stuck forever
Nor a paperweight
There is so much to paper, light, yet holds weight
Be like the paper, yet not get weighed down

Falling

She said "I'm falling in love."

I said "I'm falling apart."
What's the difference?
i found
two old leather journals while cleaning out my old pick-up truck
yesterday

i can't wait
to read the parchment and listen to all
of the things that my heart had once to say

my heart,
it always
listens then
speaks

i swear
at times,
like tears,

i see those
old leather
journals leak

i'd love to
dust them off
down by the
old river
today

sink into
my captain's chair
and allow
my heart
some time
to play
Everyday that dawns,
you slip away a little more.
The distant stare,
the apathetic eyes.
Your love is as dead
as the roses in
the trash.
Your heart is an
abyss that I'm
lost in forever.
Belladonna drew me in.
The poison kept me there.
i was in the garden i heard bluebell ring
standing there alone a lonely little thing.

ringing out his tune so gentle and so sweet
such  a pretty tune it made me tap my feet.

a lovely melody like a symphony
standing in my garden he played his song for me.
there was a teddy bear the children loved him so
everywhere the children went teddy he would go
he loved in the park he would play all day
playing with the children made his life so gay.

he loved it in the park playing on the swings
roundabouts and slides and lots of other things
building little castles for everyone to see
he was very clever a clever bear was he

he was always happy children loved him so
to the little teddy they gave his heart aglow
then when he got tired he had a sleep and then
back to all the children so he could play again

Some says don't you dare
Some says u can't
Some says that's just all your limits
Some says do what says your heart
I said them all
I would dare,
I can do what I wanna do,
I know my limits,
I'll let my heart to go with the flow,
I wanna be free
I'm a sunflower
Don't burn me ,please let me glow.
