daisies and roses

answers in unison
dreams about the future
she understands me, and I, her
they get mad
together we walk on eggshells


jumping off swings
discussing daydreams.

the language of life

I don't know if I should trust where my tip toes lead
I have a fear of falling
I wonder why we bother with love,
if it never lasts.

this is the way

I can't explain the way he makes me feel; everytime I try to that feeling fills the air, the feeling that I'm rambling on to myself, I lost them a while ago. I try to pour some of the love I'm filled with onto them, and they don't want any of it. I'm just an embarassment; no one has the heart to tell the young and the innocent that things will change, that she's living in a dream that will shortly be interrupted. It doesn't matter though, I can see it in their eyes what their trying to say, and I'm not listening to any of it. I will stay this way forever, free; free and filled with joy. I smile, and they wonder what I'm smiling at, I laugh hysterically and you just can't help but to laugh with me, because that's all you want. All you want is to enjoy everything you have, and you know, that that's all I want too. Ask and you shall receive; He will fill you with an overwhelming amount of joy. I am exactly who I want to be, and he is everything I dreamed he would be. I have nothing to lose because He is there to catch me, and I am thankful for the tight grasp he has on me.

She'll keep waiting

I painted a picture once, but I can't seem to remember what it looks like. I used to love to paint; I used to love you too. The colors have been replaced with words, and your sweet ways override everything I thought I was. I have buried myself. They've tried to dig me out, but your the only one I trust to do so.

no matter where you are

It's not easy saying this to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
But before you go
I want you to know
I wish you strength, when times are hard
I wish with all my heart you find just what you're looking for
I wish you joy
I wish you peace
I wish that every star you sees within your reach

love will tear us apart

I've never seen anything so sad. I run down our narrow hallway, quickly, anxious to get to my room. I shut the door swiftly behind me, I can't let them see me cry, not over something like this. The tears were trickling down my cheeks, slowly, one by one and I was hoping they couldn't see me through the darkness of the room. But now, now the tears pour out, and I don't hold them back like I previously did. It amazes me that something so simple, something I love so much can fill me this much, can give me this much feeling. It reminds me of you, and how I was never afraid of my emotions. I am now though.

Thursday, August 5, 2010

please remember

the time was yours and mine
and we were wild and free
not a dream was out of reach
under a lover's sky
I'm gonna be with you
nothing short of God above
could turn me away from your love
let the stars stand
and witness it all

as told by gramp

The sound of my parents voices drifted through our tiny little house, upstairs, and into the bedroom in which my brother and I were trying to sleep. On certain nights (this night being one of them) my father would stay up late to play cards and enjoy the company of my mother. My guess is that they were in the middle of their second hand when my mother announced, that she smelled something funny. My father replied to her rediculousness with, "Oh Lily, you are always smelling something funny!" As they continued on playing, it wasn't long before my mother yet again insisted by saying, "Jack, I smell something!" The high pitched sound of my fathers chair screetching across the floor filled the house, as he got up, without a word to reassure my mother that there was nothing to be concerned about. Unfailingly, my mother was right. My father neared our basement door just as the smoke began rushing in underneath. The door handle felt hot, but he swung open the door just to reassure himself that there was indeed a fire. By this point my mother was already up out of her chair yelling in her stern voice that we were all used to for us to get out of the house, yelling that there was a fire. It wasn't that late, so naturally none of use were asleep anyways. We all jumped up, and although I could hear my sister screming from the other room I bolted down the stairs and out of the house. I knew what to do, and even under these circumstance I was thrilled. I ran towards the end of our street, where the fire alarm post sat and waited patiently for a neighborhood emergency. I pulled up the plastic case and yanked at the red handle. No sooner did it take for the sirens to sound off than it took for the firetrucks to arrive at our house. I stood there watching, the only one who seemed to be able to just stand there and watch. I looked over at my family standing together across the street, my parents trying to calm down my sister. As I walked closer towards them I saw my sister run up to a firefighter, still in tears. After a little while of him trying to figure out exactly what it was that she was saying, I heard him say back in between his laughs, "Don't worry hunny, your cat was the first one out of this house, she's safe."
Not too long after this mess began, my older sister, Vinny, came home from the movies to find that our house was the house consuming our little town with all this smoke.

Can you imagine coming home to find that your house was just on fire?

she grew up slow

this is new to me,
your administering ways

drive with me on an open highway
never knowing what we'll find


"In the depths of every heart, there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But sometimes, and oftenest at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In an hour like this, when the mind has a passive sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or controlling them; then pray that your griefs may slumber, and the brotherhood of remorse not break their chain." Nathaniel Hawthorne

she didn't find you by looking for love
so you better figure out a better way to lose her

I don't understand it yet

how can you keep your heart set on freeze
while you set my soul on fire

every dream I believed
has now come down to just one question

heart and soul on the line

The smell of her perfume encompasses the air around me as she covers my eyes with her palms.
"Guess who?" she says. I turn around and her smile is all it takes.


He just stares at me, smirking; I guess I was a dead give away...we stand there in the midst of the chaos, starring at each other, its all we can do to keep from laughing-which is all we seem to do around each other anyways


I want to know everything about you.

life in the spirit

all you have to do is sit there, in His presence
'preach the word of God, and sometimes use words'

I want the gift of laughter
to light up the world

I'm a bad boy, for breaking her heart

I picked her up in my 1995 chevy pick up, after her parents went to bed. We drove down every street in this little town and then moved on to the next. She was gorgeous, draped with Gods hand-painted beauty; 55 down 146 to the elementary school, down the long driveway, to the last parking spot on the left. Straight ahead on the dried up grass, looking into the woods i parked my truck. We lit up the nighttime sky, the windows rolled down, with silence as background music secluding us from the distant world. She stained the passenger seat with her sweet perfume, and stained my lips with the taste of innocence. Her long brown hair weaved in and out of my fingers and my hands grasped her soft skin. Her elegant stare focused into the deepness of my gaze and sent chills throughout my whole body. I could feel her melt into the saftey i gave her. She was a good girl and she loved me.

how will I do

I can't wait to get going but I don't think I'm ready to leave. I'm making plans for the future that may never happen, because who know's what I'll be in the future. What if I waste four, five or even six years trying to figure out something I'll never know...but then again what if I already have? I guess we all get mixed up in this crazy life, so I have no one to turn to. Seems like I'm walking in the wrong direction, I can barely recognize myself sometimes. Am I playing on the safeside, or is this just taking a long time? I don't want to live in fear, I don't want to be afraid to just fall down, no matter how many times it happens, hopefully someone will be there to pick me up. I'm not sure who it will be though, do I know them now? Where will I meet them, or will I make yet another mistake and miss meeting them? I will wait up for you, whoever you are. I secretly hope your waiting for me too.
