I could not find myself an ocean
That mimicked your eyes
So I went down to the river bed.
I looked at the grass and I realized
Your eyes were never blue.

dating a writer
is like guessing the weather.
you think you know what you'll get,
but you never do.

you never know
because

she'll create a hero
from your weaknesses

and she'll write a great character,
from every last flaw.

she'll create a thousand plots  
from your worst nightmares.

she'll take every last thing you hate
and create something you'll love.

she'll turn your anger
into confessions of adoration,

and she'll make you,
everything you're not.

but worst of all,
she'll leave you wondering-
is it you she's in love with,
or things she's created from you?

but here's the beauty of it:

if you date a writer,
you'll never die.

Name Game

Today at church
we played a name game
and somewhere down the line
I was sitting next to you
For the first time in ten months
wondering if my name
still tastes like honey to you
Or if you even remember
What it felt like
When it rolled off your tongue
Because I still taste yours
Vibrating on my lips
And I still feel
your vanilla kisses
across my chest
i'm not sure how i feel about this one.
you need to be naked yourself
to see the world
without all the veils
even though it will still be
ugly the same way
but at least it will be
what is really is.
My brain is so full of ideas,
And they bounce around day and night.
And until I put them on paper,
They march back and forth
Left ...
                                                               Right...
*Left.
Your problems seem so small
When you walk through the hospital walls.

They say we make a living by what we get,
But we make a LIFE by what we give.
It not too late to make a life just yet,
So let me give you loving and then I can live.
Real heroes don't call themselves heroes.
Real heroes silently serve.
Sometimes things get hard,
Life's less than perfect.
Life can leave you scarred,
But I know it's worth it.
