I lay down in the dampened sand
A little too close to the waves
I wish to feel a helping hand
And maybe the sun's rays
Daylight makes way for the evening star
The tide is slowly rising
I hope to travel very far
Yet love is still depriving
Back and forth the waves I feel
I tense as they get near
Go on I say, do what you will
And then I have no fear
Dreams sweet dreams take over til morn
I awaken all anew
Then upon myself I shall adorn
The refreshing morning dew
My kindred spirit has gone with the tide
When shall we meet again
The memories are deep inside
I'm ready to begin

a true love is some~one by just looking at her everything you
were mad at
feared
hated
even things u thought u loved
slides away like a second skin
a true love is the one person your think of when you wake up &
the last thing on your mind when u go to bed
every where a beautiful thing is, it looks like her, in every shape & form
my true love goes to my school
she is all these things to me
all~though she doesn't know it
if she left my world would shatter
the only thing that keeps me going is the thought that i might catch a ray of her brillance that shines off her
all~though these thoughts are my own some day they will be set free

the pain of uncertainty
subsides for awhile
when your smile invades my eyes
the softness, the sureness
the lenses that blur us
from what may become a disguise
dreams seem attainable
burdens restrainable
when your hand barely touches my skin
walls fall around me
there now is a found key
to unlock the door to get in
YOU'RE THINKING BY NOW
THAT NOBODY LOVES YOU,
AND FROM YOUR HURTING
SOUL,
COMES SAD THE HUNTING SOUND
OF FLUTES AND VIOLINS.
AND YOUR LOVE SOUNDS
I HEAR THEM IN THE WIND,
SO CLEAR TO ME LIKE WINDCHIMES,
AND SULTRY THE MUSE OF YOUR
LOVE CHARMS
THAT COME AND GO WITH YOU,
LIKE MELTED DEWDROPS OF GOLD AND
SILVER,
UNSEEN BY ALL AND FROM HUMAN
EYES
GATHERED TOGETHER IN ANGEL DUST,
BY THE LOVE FAIRIES,
THAT HAD BLESSED YOUR LIFE FROM
THE BEGINNING,
WITH GREAT LOVES.
YOUR LOVERS SEEM TO FADE AWAY
IN THE SOFT SOUNDS THAT MAKES THE
NIGHTS,
AND IN THE GENTLE WIND THERE'S A
RAPSODY IN BLUE,
WITH IRISES AND ROSES IN FULL BLOOM
THAT PLAYS WITH LOVE AND OPEN DEVOTION,
STILL MY LOVE TO YOU,
IN THE WHITE SILENT OF THE WIND
THAT BRINGS YOU BACK TO ME,
IN THE SWEET SOUNDS OF WINDCHIMES AND
VIOLINS,
TO RESIDE FOREVER IN YOUR HEART OF GLASS.

I WAS MISTIFYED BY THE MISTERY IN YOUR
EYES,
AS YOU CAME UP TO ME AND
QUICK YOU LEFT ME IN THE SUNRISE.
SO I WAS SO APPREHENSIVE,
WHEN I SAW YOU AGAIN IN PLAIN
DAYLIGHT AND STARTED TO RAIN,
AND YOU SEEING ME SO SAD,
YOU DREW FOR ME, A BIG RAINBOW
HIGH IN THE GRAY SKY,
AND THEN YOU LEFT ME AGAIN
WITH THE SUNSHINE AND YOUR SHADOWS.

Listen to the silence
of the softly falling snow.
It brings to mind a special place
for you and I to go.
A secret place for just us two
that no one else can see.
Because it exists only in our minds
this place we long to be.
So let the clouds close in
and let the sky grow dim.
For a cabin in the woods awaits
and a fire glows within.
When the snow falls cold and deep
I'll walk out to meet you there.
Then close the door on the world
close the door on all our cares.
In a cabin warm, we'll have our fill
of snuggling close, a winter's bliss.
As dusk decends, hearts exploring passion
beginning with a kiss.
Why offer your hand to hold
When I'm holding back a waterfall
My gift, my curse,
Is my two little feet
Firmly on the ground;
No maniac howls of pain from me,
No crazy shifts in ideation:
I'm Jesus Christ, I'm Joan of Arc, I'm a beached whale
Just a feminine little girl
Who thinks she's the King's son
Incognito in this town
I can't entertain the townsfolk
As a troubadour
But I can play Tragedy
How can you give me your hand?
--a hand right through my dike--
This waterfall could become my flood
You'd call me a pest
You'd want other little girls
The palace would be shamed.
Little angel sittin on the sidelines
Pure smooth satin, wings that glimmer
Her smile says that everything’s fine
Eyes that let her deep blue soul shimmer
Present a perfect face, kind and good
Scream your truth, as all men should
Fight the system that embraces your world
Break space, break mind, break pain, all hurled
Bring about freedom’s revenant
Little angel with one wing bent
You’ve glimpsed the truth, photographed the hope
You’ve seen the viper of the hangman’s rope
Little angel on the sidelines
Pure smooth satin, wings that glimmer
A voice says everything is fine
And eyes that let her deep blue soul shimmer
Beauty, mind, strength, spirit
Future, small or great, there’s no need to fear it
Can you withstand the shaping fires?
Or will this angels frame adorn the funeral pyres?
Little angel on the sidelines
Pure smooth satin, wings that glimmer
Aura that says everything is fine
With eyes that let her deep blue soul shimmer
When I am dead, encased in dirt,
With the concrete slab in place,
You may then know grief and a hopeless despair,
But for me there won't be a trace.
For I shall have peace and I won't feel a thing,
Though you kneel at my grave through the night.
Maybe then you can learn what true loneliness is,
And what loving a cold heart is like.
