Watching Love Grow, Forever Letting Me Know

 This is why events unnerve me

They find it all, a different story

Notice whom for wheels are turning

Turn again and turn towards this time

All she ask's the strength to hold me

Then again the same old story

Word will travel, oh so quickly

Travel first and lean towards this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown

Heaven knows, it's got to be this time

Watching her, these things she said

The times she cried

Too frail to wake this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown

Heaven knows, it's got to be this time

Avenues all lined with trees

Picture me and then you start watching

Watching forever, forever

Watching love grow, forever

Letting me know, forever.

Love to Lust

Eid

Light Eyed
Flowers on the Porch

Now Night Turns Cold
Dark Hearted
Solstice

dreamer

 he will never see through the blue of your eyes
never take surprise to the far wind or sunset

he isn't made of it - he's a dreamer, he says

then why not dream bigger? i ask

If I Could, I Would

If I could manifest someone to love me 

So I would...

This lonely heart has been waiting for so long.

I almost don't even know what it feels to be human anymore.

No one Knows me but Creator

I'm like a dead battery

Or a flower that's dried out

Even down to the roots

& the very core of me

I am starved

I once thought I was a seed to something great

But some days I feel as a rotten fruit

Doomed to be cut down

Incapable of change

& Never able to finish anything I have ever started in my life.

For how can you learn to finish anything in life

When you never learned how to begin?

Someone I'll Never Be

 It's so hard wanting to be (good) ... something I will never be.

It's hard knowing what's right in a world where most don't know truth.

I know my heart and I know what I wanted...

What I wanted is like a dream of a past life when this world is so different.

It is nothing how I imagined this life to be.

My Last Quarter

 

i'd use my last quarter to write you a letter

but you used yours to write someone better

Fair Neighbor

goodbye, fair neighbor

although i loved you so

just like the seasons change

the tides, they come and go

goodbye, fair neighbor

although i felt that spark

and imagined us something

more like a card at hallmark

goodbye, fair neighbor

although i saw the future

our last moment spent together

undoing past lives' sutures

goodbye fair neighbor,

although we may meet again

somewhere between now and then

in a far off distant land
