I love petrichor ;
The way that seconds after the first few
drops start falling ;
The scent of Ozone fills the air .

I love the smell of fall,
The beauty of trees showing us that you can still shed bits of you that have died... Yet still be beautiful.

I love the sound of my nieces laugh;
The way it steadily always brings me back
to earth durning chaos ,
Reminding me to be joyful.

I love the ocean.
How beautiful is it from the surface ;
Knowing no one will ever see all the beauty
That lurks beneath the depths.

I love seeing peoples faces describing
The person they love.
Their features change , they
Become alive .

I love coffee, and my dog, and my tiny feet, and whiskey, and sportscenter, and lime popsicles. I love sleeping in ,and watching Braveheart .  I love love, and i love living .

What do you love.

My love is like FIRE
So bright and warm you want to touch it
My love is like FIRE
Easy to light and hard to control
My love is like FIRE
Loud and exciting durning the night but when the sun finally comes up
Petty pointless
Unless you want to cook breakfast
And then put me out because lets face it
You only needed me for light,warmth, and food
You only need me to deafin the silence that surrounds the camp site
But dispite that
my love is still a FIRE
And I will let you use me to your hearts content
Because I know even with a sleeping bag you'd still be cold in your tent

Pray if may
Pray of health
Wealth and love
And what you say...
Pray for sun
For rain to wash all the dirt of
Hurt words and wrong play...
Pray he washes your sins away...
Pray for all the ones that don't believe anyway...
Give them a reason, help them want you more,
Dear lord...
This why we pray...
Pray that one day the world will obey...
Pray once home they never stray...
Pray for me, you and everyday...
In our work
In our play...
In our sleep
Durning our dreams...
Pray the evil, hate and pain go away...
Let it be scared to stay...
Cause God is in it's way!
Pray just pray...
Have a little faith! Today!
Pray!

I keep thinking about being shirtless
Sitting on your lap,
Looking into your eyes
You asked if I was happy
I muttered out "with what"
Happy with us yes
You asked do I love you I said yes
You asked am I in love with you I said
Yes,
Yes because I am in love with you, with the way you ask if I'm in love with you, with the way your voice trembled in fear of rejection
or maybe that was my voice when I muttered out the word yes
maybe I'm scared of how I actually feel
or maybe I was stuttering in my head and my throat was too in awe to speak
So I just shook my head yes I mean nodded my head yes
it's funny,
There are certain things I am happy with, certain things like
car rides
and the amount of cigarettes I smoke and boy it's the whole pack in less than 3 hrs
it makes me happy
It keeps me busy
natural lighting against white painted walls,
Make me happy
I like to think that's what my body is
Out in nature
Is nature
Natural lighting shining through tree tops against my blue eye shadow bubble gum snapping carefree walls
but not enough of that makes me happy to be happy in general
so I walk at 2 in the morning to get where I need to go
I don't have a car
so I chain smoke
So I lock myself in the room durning the day
let the light shine in while I sleep
So I apply my blue eyeshadow when I wake to resemble the sky
So I snap my bubble gum too loud
Keep me from hearing my thoughts
So I make twigs, branches and sticks glide in the wind across my upper thigh
or a least I used to
but I think about breaking that habit of trying to keep all the promises I make.
No,
No I am not happy, yes my voice is trembling
or maybe i was stuttering in my head and my voice was too in awe to speak
so I just nodded my head no
I mean shook my head no.

paddling madly
like a lost sailor
dark thoughts rises
hovering my mind
yet I fill blank pages
pondering so drenched
foggy words they crash
waves of true emotions
in my determined mind
yet across this journey
miles away exploring the
gloomy woods in my brain
the white paper it shines
forming inspiring shadows
a written desired path with
a destination thats unknown
through winding roads entwined
confusion of purpose and reason
I keep traveling the mapped blue
lines leading the writer inside me
the words I write takes the wheel
durning my written therapy session

I can hold myself together durning the day
I can occupy myself with
mindless tasks or,
Sleep to escape it all
But at night is when
I start to unravel
And my eyes
They leak
And my insides spill out
And pool into my lap
And I'm struggling to keep my head
Above the water
And it has always been too
Shallow
To drown in but
I think it's finally
Deep enough.

(poetry/writing)

-Evidently, a push over is not a factor to me-

The propaganda on a troubled tongue
will spoil truth, by a coal miner's lung
I dive into that crazy sarcasm, chucking spit
slammin' pessimistic tactic on holy writ's
Word of the "everyday" is just simply "stop"
I cream like a bee, melt it down like a lollipop
I put road block on every crooked corner

keep on the path with my

... sword

... shield

... and amor

Durning my journey I slay every red dragon
I **** with mighty wings like a Queen of Athens
I roach clip the weeds and lawn the poison Ivey
I hand them out word life but it come spicy
they struggle to handle yet they forfeit equality
Because when if they stop to think about it
Their own souls are like lonely vagrant ships

I gather an eye from
each of them red dragons

... tossed

... trashed

... abandoned
