A coy but quirky little thing
Wrapping him around her finger
Kisses to his mouth
Her dewy taste to linger.

A devious but ginger little creature
Coiling around her heart
Adding tongue to the kisses
His taste not bitter, but ****.

The Fairy and the Serpent
A love so delicious it should be forbidden
Both having fiery passion
Makes them not so different.

They're sneaky and wise
But calm and collected
And when staring at each other
They see parts of themselves reflected.

He shields her with his hardened scales
And protects her with his venomous bite
She mystifies him with her glitter lust
And guides him with her magic light.

Here in their Nirvana Paradise
They've come upon a common ground
Their love is unrestrained and powerful
And a soul mate they have found.

I thought I lost my inspiration
And lacked a current destination
Now I'm in deep concentration
Writing down my contemplation
As I write these words in desperation
I wonder on the worlds damnation
Now I seek inebriation
Within my words correlation
So here I am at my writing station
Thinking in exasperation
What do I know of segregation?
How do I change it to integration?
Do you understand my stipulation?
How do I defeat this abomination?!

I will wait in anticipation
Then I will take a needed vacation
After my attempt at world *******.

I just wanted to remind you
Of how much I love you
I write this seemingly love drunk
Hopefully you will see it too.

I wanna wash over you like rain
And kiss your eyelashes like snow
I want to be the grass you lay upon
And the sun that touches you from head to toe.

I wanna be what makes you happy
But also show you where happiness lies
And I wanna be what makes you smile
But show you how to smile when you're happiness dries.

I wanna put your puzzle together
And show you how to do mine
I wanna solve all your problems
And share with you how everything will be fine.

I wanna be a part of you
And touch your face whenever I wish
I wanna hold your hand when I am lost, or you
And grace you with my loving kiss.

I just want to be yours
Even though I all ready am
I wish I could just hand you my very soul
So you can keep it, in your hand.

But I've got to keep a little me to myself
And I recommend that you should do the same
Because if we don't have any secrets
How are we to play the game?

It takes two to do most things
But it's not fun if you know all the steps
I'd like to keep you guessing
And you would, as well for me, I bet.

I'm hanging by a thread
At least I feel that way sometimes
A noose around my neck
Though I'd make some pretty wind chimes.

I'm not going to let go
And let myself fall down
Luckily I have my many stars
That guide me through this desolate town.

I wander around lost
In the burning sun
But when the night comes
I can begin to have fun.

My many stars come out to shine
Showing me the way
And though I'll have a sleepless night
I'll be ready for the day.

Maybe you can guess
Who or what the stars are
But all that matters is their brilliance
To show me how to travel far.

Though nothing glows brighter
Then the moon in the sky
I may have my many stars
And that is not a lie.

But this big bright globe
Is more than just a friend
He keeps my heart up there
I know it's more than just pretend..

And more than just a fairy tale
Of a maiden and the moon
One day it will be forever after
Though maybe not so soon.

I wish upon a star tonight
Though the man in the moon is listening
I say: "I wish I can keep him for all time!"
And I swear, after, I saw him glistening...

Forgive me for being happy
Forgive me for not wallowing in my misery
Forgive me for being in love
Forgive me for now bowing humbly.
Forgive me for being honest
Forgive me for seeing through your lies
Forgive me for crying
Forgive me for asking why.
Forgive me for speaking up
Forgive me for acting out
Forgive me for maturing quickly
Forgive me for having doubt.
Forgive me for being paranoid
Forgive me for laughing at you
Forgive me for being there
Forgive me for expecting you to.
Forgive me for having a will
Forgive me for being strong
Forgive me for being human
Forgive me for being wrong.
Forgive me for being strange
Forgive me for being right
Forgive me for being broken
Forgive me for putting up a fight.
Forgive me now or forever hold your peace
Because I won't wait around
Not for you, at least.

I'll capture your soul in a jar
and keep it close to me
I'll carry it a distance so far
and set it by the sea.

Your soul will glow and gleam
and yearn to be let out
I'll open the lid and beam
let you be free and flit about.

From the city I rescued you
from all the pain and sorrow
By the sea will do
and we will leave back home tomorrow.

But for now we will cherish this
a moment for your soul and mine
To wrap around each other in bliss
by the sea, for a short time.

The stars begin twinkling above us
the ocean waves ride low and high
We watch the moon after dusk
and dance in it's light.

The water at our feet
cold and freezing but we don't care
Because our love is our heat
keeping us warm when we're bare.

At sunrise I return you to your jar
and carry you close to my chest
For next year we will travel this far
To this place in the west.

My one day with you
I cherish it all year long
I wish there was more we could do
to be together like music and lyrics of song.

But this is all we have
so I am thankful for it
Hopeful that our love will last
I don't know about you, but I won't quit.

So next year I can't wait
To be with you again
The time that passes I so very hate
But it will be worth it in the end.

You are bright and full of life,
You line the sky with orange light,
Full of warmth and sunny rays,
You end the night and make our days.

You always rise from behind hills,
You help the flowers on the window sills,
You are more eternal than life itself,
Forever rising without help.

You mark our days with guiding light,
God created you, to give us sight,
We plan our days around you,
And no matter what, you're never blue.

Without you we cannot see,
Without you then we would freeze,
Without you we'd have no plants,
You are the sun, and for you we dance.

Flower petal explosion
Bamboo stalks whistling
Drum beat echoing
Lotus blossoms blooming
Wood wind chimes
It's all within time, It's all within time
Flow time, flow time.

Orange and white swirling
Water trickling; tumbling
Over rocky pond bottoms.
Koi fish swimming
Koi fish living
It's all within time
Flow time.

The truth is beyond the horizon
it lies asleep
in the deep sea

The truth is sought after
to no avail

It will only wake and rise
when
the time
is right

The clock of eternity ticks
But no one knows the time
Every second counts
Adding up towards the end

The truth that is sought
will awaken

and bring
the end
of time

And all that has been waited for
Will commence in just one second

And in that one second
The truth will unfold
to reveal:
the end
and the beginning
of time.

Windmills blowing clockwise
Dandelions spreading seed
Their faces are smiling.

Fields of tall grass
Bending in the wind
They know no back bone.

The sky is brilliant
The clouds are fluffy white
Let them harmonize.

There was a time in the world
When things were not the same
They were very different
Even by name.

Everything was backwards here
Sideways or upside down
This world was mixed up
Topsy turvy, twisted around.

The ocean swells started at the shore
And then pulled out to the sea
It's madness, I know!
But this is how it use to be.

Dogs meowed
Whales were in the sky
Cats barked
And birds didn't fly.

Clouds were pink
And grass was blue
Mountains were red
And yellow too.

When people spoke it sounded like music
And when instruments played they could talk
People didn't have faces
And they danced instead of walked.

We kicked people to say hello
Shaking hands was a crime
We had fingers instead of toes
It was such a strange, strange time!

Nobody wore any clothes
And had no hair on their head
We didn't wash with water
But bathed in mud instead.

They say the world changed
When a meteor fell from space
Creating a cosmic boom
That put things out of place.

Now here were are today
Thinking everything here is how it should be
But there once was a time before this
When everything worked differently.

So there was a time in the world
Before our time now
When everything was different
Including the why and how.

Everything was backwards here
Sideways or upside down
This world was mixed up
Topsy turvy, twisted around.

You soothe all my aching pain
You cleanse me like refreshing rain
You leave behind a pleasant stain
You are sweet like sugar cane.
You teach my I've got much to gain
You keep my from riding in the tame lane
You allow me to be a little vain
And you love me as powerful as a freight train.
Our love is a smooth but scenic terrain
Though sometimes we go against the grain
Our passion is nothing close to plain
And more comfortable than a ball and chain.
I love you
Through thick and through thin
Though innocence and sin,
Like flowers to sunshine
It's not hard to define
I will love you
Like the sound of a rhyme
And hopefully, for a glorious time.

I think about you all the time
All through out the day
Anytime I'm not with you
And even when we're together.

You're always on my mind
It doesn't matter what I'm thinking about
You're always there
In the background of my thoughts.

I can't get you out of my head
I just keep thinking about you
Anything that has to do with you
And everything you are.

Do you grasp,
How attached to you I am?
How important you are to me?
Or how I've made this special place in my heart, for you?

I wanna be with you
All the time
I wanna touch you
All the time.

You don't need to be protected
I know
But I'll be here
Shielding you from harm.

Even as you may get hurt
Or broken
I'll bandage you up, carefully
And love you  still.

Wrap my arms around you
And let you feel my heart
It beats for you
Only you.

And this might be startling
I'm kind of put off myself
But I love you, so much
That it's a part of everything I am.
And everything I will be.
Like a web: it's all connected.

So take me as I am
Just take me!
I don't want anyone else to have me
But you.

This world is not mine
I emerged from a magic mirror
And coming here to find
That my vision is clearer.

This is where I come to escape
Flower fields and tall trees
Butterflies surround a lake
It's beauty a sense of release.

This world is not mine to keep
But I can visit it any time
This is all what I dream when I sleep
Somewhere to hold my sanity in line.

When I rise
I feel renewed
And forgetting all my stressful ties
I feel like I can get through...

Life.
And visit the magic mirror again tonight.

This is the happiest I've ever been
No doubt in my mind
I can't control my smiles
If only I could stop the time

Right in this moment with you
Your lips to mine
The world it stops turning
Everything is so, so.. so **** fine

And all this bubbling in my stomach
My hearts up in my throat
Not in the bad way
But the kind of way that you know:

You're in love
Everything is seen in a new light
With brighter colors
And a fresh-headed sight

I pull the good from the bad
Unlike times before
Because the happiness I had lacked
Is now prominently present, ever more.

I see that when things are down
It's only the dark side of the moon
The other half of the circle
The pain, then the pleasure comes soon.

You can't have one without the other
But with the one you see the light
In every dark corner
You see it all as right.

Love, love, love, love
So much of it right here in my heart
It covers all my pain with floral print
Showing the light in the dark.

Defeating all my battles
Climbing every rock
Though I'm getting higher
I fear the tick of the clock.

But I feel like time stops with you
Even as every day passes by
And every moment we have, or to be had
Will be amazing and divine.

I think you've got your head up in the clouds
And it's time to come down
You're not making me proud
Can't you tell by my frown?

You're fading quickly, I see it
I don't wanna watch you burn your life away
You're choking on the bit
I guess tomorrow is another day.

You can always try
Don't give up, don't tap out
You secretly want to say goodbye
But you don't want to face the drought.

I miss the you you use to be
I miss the smile on your face
I just want to see you free
Away from this place.

I wish I could get you out
I wish I could save you some how
But you have to defeat your own doubt
I just can't help you now.

You'll pull me down with you
So I have to leave you behind
This is the conclusion I've come to
And it hurts, so I find.

It has to be this way
This is my love speaking
I guess tomorrow is another day
For you to find what you're seeking.

I think that maybe
I'm a little more than in love
Something deeper, something stronger
If that's possible.

And I think that maybe
I could keep you
If not for forever
But for a while.

You're smile
Makes me shy
I hide my eyes
Beneath my lashes.

When you look at me
I can't help but grin
And want to just wrap you up
In my arms.

If I could find a word
To describe how I feel
I'd write it over and over
In a love letter to you.

And if I could find a song
To describe how I feel
I'd play it over and over
For you.

It's something silly
But isn't that real love?
Bumbling, clumsy
And fun.

I can say very well
That you bring out the best in me
And I feel like that maybe
I bring out the best in you.

This isn't the best poem
But I've been wanting to say for a while
That you make me so happy
More than I can describe.

I love how you look
How you look at me
How you smile
How you smile at me.

And I can feel your love
When you're talking to me
Hear it in your voice
Like a tone only I can hear.

And your actions speak volumes
Loud enough and large enough for me
To know that you truly love me
And I don't even have to ask.

So just so you know
I hear, feel, see, breathe your love
And it's enough
I couldn't ask for more.

Except maybe for a kiss
To remind me
A smile to make me smile
And a hug to feel your love.

I love you.

I feel like I'm standing
On a Tower Of Cards
Like I could fall at any moment
My ground collapsing beneath me.

But isn't that how life is?
It could easily be ripped away
As it is given,
Tread lightly, little girl.

But I'm not a little girl
And I don't walk as careless as I use to
I walk cautiously
And tip-toe in all the right places.

So on the top of this Card Tower
I can see the world
And as long as I walk like upon egg shells
It will stay that way.

We're all individuals
But part of a tree
Some of us are leafs
And grow into green.
Others are seeds
That plant a way of life
Some of us are flowers
Growing beautiful, through strife.
Plenty are juicy fruits
Coming with the harvest to please
Then there are the branches
That carry them all and put them at ease.
The bark covers the tree
Protecting all that it is
And the roots grow deep into the ground
Keeping the tree from falling amiss.
We all grow towards the sky
But most don't make it that far
Will we ever reach the heavens?
Will we ever touch a star?
But whatever piece you are
No matter our differences
Were all a part of the tree
Past, future, and present tenses.

I see your soul like it's on fire
Flickering like your inner desire.
It's beautiful and gold
Something for me to hold.
It lashes out at my own soul
Igniting my fire from burnt-out coal.
And in the coal lies diamond shards
That I gamble with my cards.
We roll the dice together
But the game goes on forever.
Your soul binding to mine
Our bodies entwined.
The fires roaring inside our being
Keeping us from fleeing.
And on and on we go
On and on, to and fro.
To the end together as one
Dancing since the fire begun.
Finicky flames, but burning bright
You and I, what a sight.
Liquid love, cold steel blue
Combining, becoming what is true.

Don't let them drag you down as they die
It's hard to let them go, but you must
It's the way of life.

They're heavy on your shoulders
An unnecessary burden to bare
Free them as they grow colder.

Don't let them drag you down when they die, it'll only destroy you
Let them fall to the ground
This is what you must do
This is what is true.

Unfamiliar sadness
Is the worst kind of sadness
At least I think that's how it goes.

You tell yourself to smile
You tell yourself it's okay
But that's simply not how it flows.

It engulfs you like a fire
Swallowing its surroundings
Swallowing you entirely whole.

It's a new kind of sadness
Though you've been sad before
This one continues to burn hot like a coal.

You try to stifle it
You try to drown it
But it keeps eating you day by day.

Little did you know
That this type of sadness
Has to be put out a different way.

Unfamiliar sadness
Is the worst kind of sadness
I've pretty much figured that out.

It might take you a while
To put out the fire
But then you'll know for next time, what it's all about.

Staring into the fire I see
Your face and wish you were here with me

But even deep within my secret desire
I know we will never be

Unfortunately

I had to let you go
Because  you didn't love me anymore

But even still I want you to know
That I love  you down to my very core

Unfortunately

I don't want these feelings anymore
I can't get you out of my head!

Yes my broken heart is healing
But I won't forget the tears I shed

Everything is black and blue
Everything is dark and cold
Without you, who am I to hold?

Unfortunately nothing is fortunate anymore
Unfortunately you're gone
Unfortunately I'm still here
Unfortunately we lost our bond..
But fortunately everything is now clear.

Love is just a word on the surface
When I plunge so much deeper than that
To the bottom of the ocean.

I took a dive head first
Without looking back
And it almost shocked me beyond shock.

But it was such a wonderful dive
And I'm still going
Cause I don't really think there's a bottom.

When judgment is dropped
And love is knowing
You'll just deepen the sea.

With the ocean around me
I can feel your intense emotions
The ripples breaking against my skin.

I've become a part of your existence
And I understand all of your notions
That I ripple back the patterns you send.

Together in this ocean of rapture
We ripple out our feelings for each other
And accept them without blocking the movement.

You've become part of my existence
The emotions endless for another
In the sea we've deepened beyond depth.

Because depth is measurable
But rapture of love is not
At least my own emotions are not confined to a barrel.

At the bottom of my barrel I've dug further
But now more outside of the barrel is sought
Outside of the confines is so define-less.

So much more than love
So much beyond comprehending
But do we really need to comprehend it?

Just feel it inside
Our egos transcending
And let me love you like an untamed sea.

His scent it lingers
Like a pheromone, there
I kissed him gently
And stroked his hair.

His taste is on my lips
I did not wish to part
It was a moment long enough
To flutter the beating of my heart.

His vivid memory in my mind
Brings me to write out my adoration
His smile feeds mine
And I am to be patient..

Until I see him again
And grace his lips with my kiss
I'll think about him every day
'Til a moment like this, he, I will miss.

The taste of blood on your tongue
Your eyes gazing into twilight
Chills dance across your flesh
Your thoughts and heart racing wild

Sinking your feet into the sand
You stretch your arms to embrace the dark
Closing your eyes you imagine:
A whole new world

Skin scarred and wounded
Heart, broken and torn
Memories ruined
With so much to mourn
Eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep
Crimson ribbons trailing from fresh slashes

Not a suicide attempt, no
But a way to release it all
Laying there on silk sheets
Lifeless to any call

You don't see the light yet
But you wish you could
You don't see the one yet
Your then eyes open to the world..

Tasteless
Black and white
Silence
With no light
Naked
Icy flesh
Speechless
Alone in this mess

Again..

A world surrounded in barbed wire
And thorns
No color
No life

I remember when I was young
My life was like a ride on a swing
And my heart it always sung
With the joy the ups would bring.

But when the swing would ride down
My heart would no longer soar
It was almost unsettling
The depression overtaking my core.

The swing would go up
The swing would go down
Fill up my cup
And then pour it out.

Unnerving
Exhilarating
Painful
Complicating.

Up and down
Happy and sad
Continuous motion
From good to bad.

But little did I know
A swing ride isn't forever
You can easily jump off
And release your tether..

To the ups and downs.

Then how much I love you
On Valentine's Day.

We have been
Through thick and thin
From start to end
From here to there again.

I wish I could give you
Anything you desire
The world and it's treasures
And the Lord's holy fire.

My heart belongs to you
It may be here in my chest
But it beats for you eternally
And it only wants the best.

God has chosen my knight
And with great joy
I accept him wholeheartedly
Man or boy.

Your cruel crimson lips
Blood dripping from your finger tips
My love a shattered work of art
The result of my broken heart

Splatters of scarlet hope
Mark the sheets where we eloped
My love a discarded virginity
The result of my mistaken affinity

Garnet was the decadent shade
Of the dress that veiled my vestal glade
My love a slippery hemline
The result of my relentless pine

The rusty curls on your head
Delivered me willingly into the bed
My love a handful of tangled hair
The result of my wanton affair

The flowers he sent were red
Reluctantly, I told him you were dead
My love a half-hearted lie
The result of my wandering eye

A ring offered, of ruby and gold
Silver is better, but I was sold
My love a rehearsed song
The result of my doing wrong

A burgundy kiss for a charming knight
A wedding of chastity white
My love a perfected role
The result of my injured soul

An artificial cherry-flavored *******
Sloppy second copulation
My love a feigned first
The result of my unquenched thirst

The sheet is stained with merlot
Out with the trash, then he will never know
My love a memorized line
The result of my spilled debaucherous wine.
I'm still trying to decide if I want the title to just be "Vermillion" or if I want it to be something like "Vermillion Nevermore"... but, that will have to be figured out later.

And, I'm struggling with whether it should be an artificial cherry-flavored *******, sloppy second copulation or ******* and copulation switched to be: an artificial cherry-flavored copulation, sloppy second pentration.  I think I like it how it is, but I will look at it again and probably be able to choose.

I'm also wondering if I can ignore that it is hope--eloped, and not a more fitting rhyme..

Well, I still love it. :)

I feel inspired
But it's hard to write
When I have so many words in my head
And a foggy, blocked sight.

All these revelations
Epiphanies and truths
But I can't find the words
To explain them from their roots.

It's not that simple for me
No, not today
The structure evades me
Making my song hard to say.

I guess I know everything
At least inside my head
A deep profound understanding
Like the color red.

I could say I know why
The flowers bloom in the spring
Or how we learned to speak
And what love has to bring.

But really the true knowledge
Is realizing what you know
Is really something no more than nothing
And what it has to show.

It's everything you've always known
And the little voice in your mind
That tingle in your toes
And when your heart beats out of rhyme.

It's what you've always wanted to say
And everything you've wanted to do
What I really know
Is nothing more than you.

It's what makes you look up
Instead of looking down
And what makes you smile
Or what makes you frown.

It's when you cry so hard you laugh
And when you laugh so hard you cry
It's those secrets you see in the mirror
And those motto's you live by.

I don't know anything more than you
I just express it well
Instead of locking it inside
And wishing things were swell.

So really what I've been trying to write
Though I've written many lines
Is that everyone knows something
It's just whether or not they've realized.

It's nice to wake up next to you
A comfortable feeling
That I could get used to.

Rising whenever we please
Taking our time to get out of bed
A ***** feeling, it puts me at ease.

Just as I am waking
I know you're next to me
And a smile is immediately forming.

I really could get used to this
Sleeping next to you
And receiving a good morning kiss.

I want it to last
But you cant stay in bed forever
I am hoping tonight comes fast.

So I can get close to you again
Hold you in my arms
And maybe the night wont end.

Does a blind man see nothing
Or does he see black or white
Does he see a certain color
Or does he see a lack of light?

We'll never really know what a blind man sees
He may see nothing
But what could nothing really be?

A blind man might be the only
Man to see nothing
For nothing is nothing
And that really is something
--That we can't see.

We try to define nothing
When we cannot see it
And maybe that is the only
Something a blind man can see.

We'll never know the truth
But I am sure it is something
More than black or white
Or the the lack of light
This is what he sees without his sight,
Right?

That I can do whatever I please?
I can speak out my opinions
And I can drop my formalities.

I don't have to wait to be told
Whether or not it's okay
I can do anything I desire
I can say what I want to say.

I have the right
Who needs validation?
I don't need it, neither do you
Nor do I need confirmation.

I can write my own rules
I can stay up late
I can break them, too
And I can sleep all day.

Why do I seek to be told,
Whether or not it's all right?
I can do whatever I want
I'll spread my wings and take flight.

To be bold is to do what you want
Not what you're told
And I know I want to be bold
I'm not going to wait until I get old.

I'm not going to wait until I break
From holding myself back
Cause then I've waited too long
To conquer what I lack.

Time is running out
Even though they say you have plenty
But they say that as a comfort
Cause they waited, like many.

I won't wait any longer
Time isn't going to freeze
When am I going to realize,
That I can do whatever I please?

Before I even started writing
I knew I wouldn't want to share it with you
Because it's about you
Or really, directed at you.

I probably won't share it with you for a while
I  don't want you to feel any pressure
From my emotions
From my needs.

I'm a little upset
Well maybe 'upset' isn't  the word
But I'm bothered
And I keep thinking about it, and have been all day.

You wouldn't tell me if something was wrong?
Really?
Why?
I don't understand.

But I guess I slightly understand
Trust has to be earned..
You make it seem so easy
To not tell me things.

Like it doesn't bother you at all.
You answered quick to my question
As if you had been hiding all ready
Because you knew the answer, before thinking about it.

I guess I'm just wondering
When you're going to open up
But I'll give you space, I'll give you time
Because that's who I am.

And I'm sure I should just stop expecting
You to tell me things
When I suppose it's something normal for you
To hide away, behind your walls.

I get it
You probably think I don't, but I do
I know what it's like to hide
I do it all the time.

I know what it's like not to trust
Or trust the one you love
With your secrets
With your pains and your scars.

But I'm all right with that
It's not gonna stop me from loving you
It's not gonna stop me from telling you how I feel
Or telling you my secrets.

Cause maybe you have to figure me out
Before you can trust me with all those things you don't tell me, or anyone
Maybe that isn't the case
But I can tell myself that, and it'll make it understandable.

I know I can say all these things
But you won't open up
You'll have to do it on your own time
And I get that, I do.

I guess I just wish you could talk to me
And maybe that's a bit of a jump
Because you do talk to me
But I guess I just wish you'd tell me those things you don't tell anyone else.
That you'd tell me your deepest secrets
And let me past the surface.

Everyone can wish, but most don't receive.

Like a Daisy you smile
When the sun beats down on your face
Your hair is blowing in the wind
And you're walking with a felines grace.

You have a body sculpted by Gods
And I had always envied you
With hair pretty and long
And the best personality to boot.

I thought I wanted to be like you
But that wasn't the case
I just wanted to be me
And something similarly great.

So I went out into the world
And sought out myself
She was hidden in a couple of rocks
And waiting on some bookshelves.

When I found her she smiled
It bloomed across her face
And she took my hand and led me
Down a beach to a magical place.

I no longer envy your beauty
But marvel at you with smiles
And realize when I look at myself
I have my own womanly wiles.

And why do we envy each other,
Us ladies all pretty and sweet?
Because we never look in the mirror
And let our reflection and self, meet.

Lies like liquid dripping from your tongue
You hang it out, forked and scandalous
Your words like venom, they stung
And I look at you like you have no soul.

The taste of honey on my lips
My words are soothing and fresh
We tear at each others pride, and it rips
Like poorly sewn seams of a dress.

Your eyes are vicious and angry slits
Mine are doe-round and bright
There's a darkness lingering around all your infamous wits
And I knock them down easily, one by one.

You're a tattered and tortured thing
You live by your words, but would not die
And I skip around and merrily sing
Oblivious, or not, to the hatred you harbor.

Like magnets we oppose each others side
But it takes two to tango
You are here and so am I
We will learn to live together -- Yin and Yang.

Howling at the moon
I think is what I was doing
It wasn't too soon
I was losing control.

Cause really I'm an animal
Whether it be a dog or a cat
I'm wild and unpredictable
It's in my true nature.

I usually repress it all
And keep it locked inside
But that night I began to call
To who I really am.

Yipping, yowling
Growling, barking
Purring, howling.

That is true to myself
This wild beast inside
It's something I can't help
And I won't hide it away.

Besides, sounds are so much more appealing
For moments when you lose yourself
Words just aren't as revealing
To what you are feeling.

Yip, yip.

I don't think you see yourself
The way I see you
Do you see what you're made of?
Do you see what you can do?

I feel like maybe you're blind
Or lack some kind of confidence
But I think you can do everything
So you should stop being so tense.

Can't you see yourself?
You do everything with this kind of grace
That people come to you
To find their place.

Even I have come to you
To find where I belong
You've pointed me in the right direction
The direction I knew all along.

It's okay to be arrogant
Because more or less, you're always right
I think you should apply your greatness
And let yourself shine bright.

Don't hold yourself back any longer
Quit hanging onto your fears
Because you should be who you really are
Have you taken a look in the mirror?

You're ******* beautiful, okay?
What more can I say?
And you're going places
You're well on your way.

Don't let anyone or anything
Halt you in your plight
I'll be right here by your side
Helping you put up a fight.

Because you deserve a good life
So you can really grow
And spread out your seed
So that everyone will know what you know.

But first you have to conquer yourself
And I'm telling you right now
Don't be afraid, of you, what you're capable of
Because really, you're a 'wow.'

I wish I could make a list
That would convince you
Of how great you really are
And all the things you can do.

But you don't need that
Because I'm sure you all ready have found out
That you're gonna do great things
Even if you have the doubt.

I just wanna tell you that I''m not behind you
In all that you do
But beside you through this endeavor
To first conquer you.

Because before you can challenge the world
You first have to challenge you
And once you do that
You'll know all you need to get through.

So don't get offended
Or turned off by my words
This is only half of what I feel
And only part of what I've learned.

And I know you can do it
I know it in my heart
Because I can see you
See who you really are.

I want you naked in my bed
Or I want to be naked in yours
I miss you tonight
Especially when I lay in bed, all alone.

You don't realize it
But you're amazing
At everything you do
At everything you touch.

I wanna kiss your mouth
And caress your face with my hands
I want to run my fingers through your hair
You're amazing, so amazing.

I get a shiver inside of me
When you stroke me the right way
The only way you know how
The only way you ever have.

And I get the butterflies in my stomach
When I think of your smile
I nearly blush, when I normally would never
But you make me feel in all the right ways.

You're amazing, so amazing
I thought you should know
You're amazing at everything you do
Especially amazing at me.
