Dear Santa....

Dear Santa,

So this year Santa,
I wish that you bring love to the hopeless.
I wish you bring light to the lost.
I wish you bring peace to the displaced.
I wish you bring health to the ill.
I wish you bring movement to those in despair.
I wish you bring motivation to those lacking confident.
I wish you bring relief to the tired.

I wish that the spirit and love of the season last through out the New Year, in each and every act that you preform. I wish that you spread your talents and gifts among your fellow man to bring hope and peace and joy for the betterment of the world.

Happy Christmas to all .......

What A Way To Wake Up.....

 

What? Why? How?

What did you say?
What did I hear?
What did I say?
What did you hear?

Did I speak too fast?
Did you speak too slow?
Did I hear you right?
Did you hear what I said?

Why did you ask?
Why do I care?
Why did you speak?
Why do I listen?

When will you care?
When will I matter?
When will you see me?
When will it be my turn?

How will I know?
How will I cope?
How will I know?
How will I survive?

Words

There are words that we never say, at least not out loud and not in public.
Words that we cannot bring ourselves to say.
Words that are too honest and show too much truth.
Words that have too much power.
Those are the words that we never say.

There are words that we say that we should not.
Words that slip out when we are not guarded.
Words that are more about the moment than forever.
Words that have the same power.
Those are words that we didn't want to say.

There are words that we never get to say.
Words that we hold on to too tightly.
Words that we wait for the right moment to speak.
Words that we want to be just right.
Those are words that we didn't share.

There are words that mean everything.
Words that share our dreams.
Words that share our hearts.
Words that share our souls.
Those are words that create our world when spoken.

There are words that mean nothing.
Words that are said to be heard.
Words that are for our gain.
Words that beguile ourselves.
Those are words that are not real.

There are words that build us up.
Words of encouragement.
Words of support.
Words of kindness.
Those are words that make us special.

There are words that destroy us.
Words of anger.
Words of apathy.
Words of hate.
Those are words that rip out our hearts.

There are words that bind us.
Words of promise.
Words of hope.
Words of wisdom.
Those are words that hold us tight.

There are words that tear us apart.
Words of critique.
Words of deceit.
Words of walls.
Those are words that divide our whole.

There are words that rescue us.
Words of heroes.
Words of honor.
Words of courage.
Those are words that feed our longing.

There are words that fate us.
Words of reality.
Words of what is.

Those are words that chain us.

What are your words?

What are their words?
Cause those are words that...

Time

Time is relative
It can be slow
It can be fast
It drags on
It flies by

A day
A night
A month
A year

Earth year
Lunar year
Solar year
Galactic year

But what is time?
Past memories
Future dreams
Current events

Make time
Don't waste time
Spend time
Don't lose time
Time is relative.

I Miss You

My Dearest,

I could open with the normal salutations, but they feel so inadequate and sound so pretentious. So do I just jump right to the heart of my heart? Or should I meander through the paths of us until I get to our secret bench under the arbor? But then I wonder why, it will be empty, you are not there, not really. Yet, I still roam our paths like a child lost in the labyrinth, looking for you only finding where you were and not where you are.

I carry your letters and hold tight to your words, for else can fill my arms. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, you stand before me with that roguish grin and the devil in your gleam. My sigh settles into a fleeting smile, for in my joy I look up to you with wide eyed anticipation only to find it was my dreams strolling by my side.

My love, I am grateful everyday for your love, the gift that fate has given, but the distance she has created seems for her sport. I am sorry, my darling, as improper as it is, I must admit that her pleasure is my weakness and I find moments in which despair seems my unwanted companion. My every wish your presence, my every dream your nearness, my every breath your whispered name; yet it is the chill of silence that embraces me.

When the situation here turns from clouds to rain, the chill is to the bone, I find that all warmth eludes me. It is during the rain that I miss you most and need you more. I no of no avail for recovering on my own, for you have entwined yourself most firmly in my state. I am at a loss for concentration when my thoughts are of naught but you. I make every effort to play my role for your sake, to be strong and joyful and industrious in the meanwhile.

I know my wishes are no grander than a spoiled child wanting you with me all the while knowing that my request is not proper or patient. I do not speak them for your compliance but in order that your knowing reminds you of my adoration. I know of no other way than to speak directly for my thoughts to be conveyed unto your own; for even though it seems as though I am but a mere book that you have read until the pages are worn and the binding smooth, it is my need to say so it is known.

You are the vessel that conveys my heart and soul through the universe. I am but a reflection of your love and protection. And for as long as you hold my heart and soul, so you must hold the rest else I be lost and broken. You are the destiny that fate has bestowed me and my destiny you will eternally be.

Completely,

My Sanctuary

You are my peace,
You are my hope,
You are my haven,
You are my world.

I love your smile,
I love your eyes,
I love your mind,
I love you.

You are my air,
You are my sky,
You are my breath,
You are my life.

I need your guidance,
I need your support,
I need your strength,
I need you.

You are my sun,
You are my moon,
You are my shining star,
You are my Milky Way.

I want your hand,
I want your kiss,
I want your hug,
I want you.

Hope Loss

In the dying light of day
We wander without knowing
And we can get lost

Never looking back
Taking chances here or there
Telling promises to ourselves
One day we find out
Fool that we have been
Each heart ache self inflicted
Each failure our ambush
Leeching our truth out
Yearning for hope
Once the source of our venture
Until that realization
Reaching down to our soul
Tumbling down the hole
Over and over again
Under the pain
Cover your heart
Hold on to the hope

My Esteemed Champion

My Most Esteemed Champion,

I wish to take the time today to tell you all the important things that you need to hear. These are also all the things I want to tell you. Those things that are bursting forth from my heart. All the comments that are just full of need to be spoken again.

You rode into my world and you were truly larger than life. You are my hero in more ways than I can count. You have seen what others never noticed. You have pushed your way past the walls and mazes to seek what others never pursued. You picked up pieces and put them where they belong. You took the time to hold my hand all night long, more than once. You reached out to me and picked me up every time I fell. You have built for me the most amazing sanctuary within your heart. You have given me a world where I am loved and protected. You have given me room to grow and explore and discover me. You are the strength, courage, support that makes every step I take possible.

I am so much more today than I was before you. I feel so much more now than I did before you. I want so much more with you than I did before you. I see the world completely different now with you. I look at tomorrow with a totally new outlook that never existed before you. I see my life in a new light through you. I even see myself in a new light through you that I never considered before you. Everything is new and different with you than it was before you.

Thank you for every moment that you have been a part of my life. Thank you for every change you have made in my world. Thank you for every little show of love that has built this castle that is us. Thank you for every word and deed that has saved me and rebuilt me and  recreated me. Thank you for tearing down the walls and stripping away the barriers.
Thank you for loving me.

Willingly Completely Indebted
YGF

For You

Today is a bright sun-shinny day
Happiness awaits us forever
All we have is perfect for us
Now we move forward together
Knowing we are going to make it

You are our strength
Only with you is this possible
Unknown ground is new adventures

For all you do I am yours
Only with you do I shine
Reaching new heights with you

Bringing new wonders to my eyes
Each and every day something special
I have the best of everything
Nothing compares to your love
Growing with your support

My world is absolutely amazing
You are my favorite escape

Words will never be enough
Oh you are held in such esteem
Reason and logic despair
Love and hope encompass all
Doubt not my adoration ever

What We Get...

From storms we get rainbows,
The clouds gather,
The rain pours,
The wind blows,
The lightening flashes,
The thunder rolls.

From night we get a new day,
The Sun sinks low,
The purple chases orange,
The darkness rises high,
The silence comes,
The coolness creeps in.

From the frozen land springs life,
The leaves fall,
The ground hardens,
The days shorten,
The animals retreat,
The whiteness covers all.

Only Darkness

A single candle flame
Dancing in the dark
Lighting the way
Shining in the night

Glowing bright and warm
Reassuring and full of hope
Guiding the lost home again
A single candle flame

All through the night
Only the dark sees
This little spark of love
Oh where have you gone

Slowly the little flame goes
Dancing becomes flickering
Lower the flame burns
Hold out just a little longer

I see you little flame
You guide me home
Please last a little longer
Let me get to you

Following your glow
It is my only guide
Without it I am lost
Let me find you

Your little flame holds so much
You are all my hope
You are all my dreams
You are where I want to be

I blinked and you blinked back
Please little light, stay
Running I stumbled on my way
I can't see you now

Only darkness remains
Searching for your glow
Spinning in circles, panic
Only darkness remains

Without You

Without you there is no sun,
The night comes and stays,
Without you there is no smile,
There is no laughter or joy,
Without you there is no peace,
The motion of time is chaos,
Without you there are no dreams,
There is no sleep coming my way,
Without you there is no hope,
No going forward no movement at all,
Without you there are no stars,
Nothing to wonder or wish on,
Without you there is no safety,
No where to shelter and rest
Without you there is no moon,
No myths or stories of fate and heroes,
Without you there is no love,
Life ceases to be without you.

NightTime

I open my eyes,
I look around
but you are not there,
I whisper your name,
I get no reply.

I look at the clock,
Another hour passed,
I sigh and close my eyes,
I pull the covers higher,
I wish in the dark.

Lightening flashes,
Thunder rolls,
Rain pours,
And so my tears,
I am powerless,
I am small and weak

I fade into the night,
The wind carries my dream,
There is only emptiness left,
I curl into a ball,
I whisper your name,
I get no reply.

It's Not Love

You lock me up
You call it love
You chain me up
You call it duty
You insult me
You thank me
You deny me
You need me

It isn't my promise
It isn't my duty
It isn't my injury
It isn't my trail

You beg for help
You chose your course
You demand assistance
You stayed your course
You claim no control
You kept silent

I didn't get a say
I didn't force your hand
I didn't have a vote
I didn't hold you down

You only see your pain
You use only words
You hide from truth
You shirk obligation
You deny reality
You refuse honesty

First Memory

Shadows climb across the walls
Darkness moves ever closer
Silence pushes in and in
Fear weighs the air down
Is anyone there
Will anyone come

No

The child closes her eyes
Tears will not help
She curls up in a ball
But still the cold is there
Hoping praying wishing
For what
For whom

Nothing

There is no dawn to come
There is no sun to shine down
The air is gray and thick
The clouds do not rise or fade
What is the crime
What was the sin

None

Dispair has conquered all
Even the evil is gone
Still there is no safety
Still there is no hope
What will be tomorrow
Will it be better

Never

How do you live
How do you survive
How do you hope
How do you believe
Is there more some where
Is there some one who cares

No

Dreamtime

I have this dream
just a little one
one that I keep
and hold onto tight
it is not big
it is not shiny
it is not fame or fortune
but it is mine
it is just for me
it gives me hope
it gives me joy
it is my dream
maybe one day
it will be more
but at least for now
I have my dream

Volim te

All I want is to see you smile
Love you till the end
Letting you see the best
Every thought of you
Sweet dreams away carry me

Gathering emotions
Under the stars
The way I am
Every night with you

Zig then zag through the maze
Up and down and up again
Make you feel my love

Greatness is in the heart
Every breath that catches
Bringing me closer
Underneath your clothes
Reaching up and out
Touching heaven
Stars falling all around
This is paradise
All I have to see is you
Gather near my love

Feel This....

Making me smile
Opening doors
Righting wrongs
Every little thing you do

Taking my breath away
Holding my hand
Always lifting me up
New adventures everyday

Wrapping me in your love
Oh, I've gotta a secret
Reading my thoughts
Decoding my moods
Seeing my best

Calling just to hear your voice
Allowing my moments
Not forgetting

Every breath I take
Variable not at all
Every moment with you
Rarely more could be


Each day more than the last
Xtra is the norm with you
Pieces collected
Reasons growing
Every look
Smiles to share
Secrets to keep

How Do I Say

Sometimes, I don't know just how to tell you all the ways that I love you.
Maybe that is because I don't just love you, I admire you and respect you.
There are so many feelings that I feel when it comes to you.
You have such a huge impact on every part of my life that I know I never want to be without you.
I can also say without a doubt you are the best thing in my life ever.
You haven't just changed my world and my life, you have changed me.
There were times before you when I used to wonder when would my dues be paid; when would it be my turn.
Now I have the blessing of having the best man in the world for my turn.
I have you for my sun, my moon, my universe.
I have you your support, your love, your encouragement.
I have you the best part of us, the best part of all that is good, the best part of the what the future holds.
I have you the keeper of my dreams, the keeper of my heart, the keeper of my soul.
I have us, our love, our dreams, our future.
I have us, the best love story, the best love song, the best love poem.
Best of all for me, you have me.

There Is No More

Without the Sun there is no sunrise,
No streaks of orange fingering through the dark,
No warmth rising from the cool night,
No new day to look forward to.

Without the Sun there is no sunset,
No purple fingers softly drawing the stars,
No tinge of excitement at what might be,
No reason for sweet dreams carrying us till dawn.

Without the Sun there is no high noon,
No reason for the dew to leave the grass,
No need for the leaves to reach the sky,
No desire for the bloom to open its petals.

Without the Sun there is no reason,
No measure of time to move us forward,
No sense of hope that comes with the light,
No movement through the Heavens to home.

Without the Sun there is no season,
No new life bursting forth from the frozen dirt,
No cycle to give us a present and future past,
No joy in seeing the fire flame up and die down.

Without the Sun there is no more.

Words, Their Words, Your Words

Take the road less traveled,
Blaze a new path,
Dance to the beat of your own drum,
Follow your heart's desire.

No pain - no gain,
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
You aren't given more than you can handle,
Adversity builds character.

Reputation is what others think you are,
Character is what you know you are,
What you do when no one is looking --
that is who you really are.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself,
It is fear that gives rise to hate,
It is easier to hate than to understand,
Ignorance is no excuse.

Love conquers all,
With love all things are possible,
Love is the greatest gift of all,
Love is patient, understanding, and eternal.

Borrow the words,
Write your own,
Speak up - be heard,
Your voice matters, You matter.

I Saw This And Thought......

Scrolling through my wall in FB, I saw this post from Hopeless Romantics 101's and as I was reading it I thought . . . . hmmm, I don't know about the conclusions made. While, yes I agree that being in love and loving are 2 different things. I believe that love doesn't begin when being in love ends, not if it is real or true love. If it is real and true then being in love and loving join and become an incredible union in and of itself. One doesn't stop and then the other begins, not if it is real and true.
See, I am very much in love with my man. Just the thought of him still gives me butterflies. His smile still melts me. I still think he is the best thing since sliced bread, no he is the best thing ever, even better than sliced bread. No one has ever made me feel the way he does. He can make me feel pretty and special. He lifts me up when I am down. He encourages me when I want to step outside my comfort zone. We still have long conversations, some with no pauses, some where we are so excited that we talk over each other and some with very comfortable pauses. And those hours are the best part of my day. His hugs still make everything better and his kisses sweep me off my feet.
Absolutely, yes, I still get overwhelming separation anxiety. I miss him like crazy when he is gone and hate going a day without the sound of his voice. He is the one that I always want to share my day with, the good, the bad, the ugly. He is the first one I want to 'brag' to. He is the first one that I want when the day beats me. He is the one who's opinion matters most.
While I do consider us 'perfect', we are a real couple in a real world. We have had tears, both happy and sad ones. We have had the stress of life, moves and new jobs and new opportunities and family drama. We have had sadness, loss and misunderstandings and challenges to face and overcome. But for me, none of it was ever a chore. I never considered it to be the worst of him or me or us. And I have never wanted to be anywhere else. And I certainly have never wanted to be with someone else.
I still get giddy excited by random 'I Love You's. He still gives me flowers just because. I still love giving him handwritten love letters. He still calls just to hear the sound of my voice. I still get overexcited when he has extra time just for us. I am still super proud of him and all his achievements. He is still my favorite thing to brag about. Matter of fact he is my all-time favorite topic. I always feel his love and presence in everything that I do. I will always be in love with him and I will always love him and show that love in everything that I do. So no, my being in love will not end and my love already exists. Cause what we have is real and true love. It is timeless and eternal. It is both being in love and loving joined as perfectly as he and I are joined. It is that rare thing that everyone looks for and few find. It is perfect and it is ours.

My Best Things......

I have the best best friend,
I have the best teacher,
I have the best partner,
I have the best mentor,
I have the best confidant,

My Dearest Darling,

I am so blessed to have you for my partner, my best friend, my lover. You are my strength, my courage, my port in the storm. You give me hope, security, a place to dream. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am the luckiest girl in the world. Each new day with you is better than any dream. My life before you was 2 dimensional black and white. With you my life is larger than the big screen and more exciting too. You absolutely without a doubt are my other half. You complete me more perfectly than I could have imagined. It is amazing just how perfect our 2 wholes join to make US, the most amazing dynamic incredible union one could imagine.
Life is an adventure and I am lucky enough to have the most amazing perfect traveling companion anyone could have. Life is to be lived to the fullest and shared with the ones you love most and there is no one I love more than you. You are the air I breathe, you are the wind beneath my wings, you are the aura of my soul. You give me purpose and focus and direction. You inspire and guide and encourage. You are absolutely everything that I need and all that I want. I would have never imagined that I could ever find someone that is all that to me. Someone that I could connect with on all levels. Someone that could meet my mind, heart, body and soul. Yes, you are all things to me and you have all my needs and wishes within you. You are my whole and complete universe and that is a rare and beautiful and amazing thing.

Always yours

Some days and Everyday

Some days I get
excited and eager,
Some days I get
productive and creative,
Some days I get
confident and proud.

Some days I get
insecure and shy,
Some days I get
doubtful and silent,
Some days I get
lost and unsure.

Some days I am
happy and loud,
Some days I am
singing and dancing,
Some days I am
smart and witty.

Some days I am
quiet and thoughtful,
Some days I am
little and distant,
Some days I am
scared and hiding.

Everyday I am
looking for you,
Everyday I am,
loving you
Everyday I am
trusting in you.

Everyday you are
my every breath,
Everyday you are
the beat of my heart,
Everyday you are
my whole world.

I had a thought....

My Dearest,

Today, it crossed my mind just how far we have come. How much we have shared and learned and discovered about each other and us. All the ups and downs have been worth it. Never before have I wanted something so much. Knowing that you are there for me and that you love me is the best feeling in the world. You are absolutely the best thing ever to happen to me and the best thing in my life. Of every little thing that you do I am forever grateful. Unconditionally you shower me with your love and support. Forever would never be enough time for me to show you all the ways you have made my life better. Out stretched hands reaching for the stars like a child free to dream is how you make me feel. Right before me you stand full of magic and wonder and giving me the encouragement I need to grow and learn to fly. Each and every day your confidence in me helps my confidence in myself. Very much so. Either by word or deed you have a way of making me feel special and important. Ready to catch me if I fall or cheer me on if I fly. You are my greatest inspiration. Letting me be me is one of your greatest gifts that you have given me. I feel so safe and protected by your love. There is nothing that I cannot do with your support. There is no place I would rather be than right here with you. Lead me around the world and back again. Every where and any where that you are, that is my favorite place to be. Thank you for loving me. Hearing me when I speak.. I love that I matter to you. Nothing in the world makes me feel the way that you do. Giving you my all is nothing less than you deserve for all that you do for me. Today is the first day for me to love you more than I loved you yesterday. Heart and soul soar to reach the stars and give them to you. All that I am is enhanced by your love. Tomorrow is the best thought in the world, next to today that is. You are my first thought and my last thought each day. Our journey has just begun and I am so excited. Ultimately, this is my greatest dream; YOU. Defining my love for you is something that is beyond my ability to fully express. Oh, but I will continue to try to find the words.

I wish for you to know all the ways that you impact my life. Like the brightest star in the sky, you shine over my whole world. One of my favorite things is just how much you know me. Viscerally you seem to flow through my veins, soaking into my every cell. Every day you give me more and more. You are more precious than any treasure in the world. Others can agree with me about your value. Understanding how many gifts you have is an overwhelming ecstasy. Each and every gift you have makes the lives of those around you enriched. Those that know you well, know just what a rare and special gift you are. Every one of us that can say we know you can say we are better for it. Really, just your presence can be enough to impact those that can feel your energy. Never before have I been so blessed. Always will I be grateful for every gift and every moment. Lifetime is such a short time, so I will ask for 1000 lifetimes to repay you. Love from you is the most special I have ever had. You are that special to me. Forever I will be yours. Our time is eternal. Real and true is my every thought and word and deed. Even in the night your light is there like the stars shining like diamonds in the night sky. All you give is without compare. Caring and sharing and giving what is needed and wanted. Heaven is not a place, it is just being with you. Ask and there is nothing that I would not give. Nothing would be too much or more than you deserve. Day and night and day and night you are the center and the goal. Each thought of you brings a smile that also brings peace and security. Voices carry over the distance to feel empty nights with promise. Each action is just one more reason to fall in love all over again. Rising to your heights just to see your sights. Yes, you are a prime destination for me. One I will always desire and pursue. Needing your presence is just something that is part of me now. Ever'more you are the center of my universe and the star of my dreams.

Siempre

Spring Colors

Yellow rays of sun
Orange sunsets
Under purple skies

Azul seas beckon
Rosy checks glow
Every shade claimed

My rainbow shows
You bright colors

Firey blazes alight
Among best friends
Voyages of adventure
Ore land or sea
Riches sought
Isn't gold or silver
Tonight it is more
Every hearts desire

Do You Know.....

Days are better
Sun is brighter
Nights are more
Moon is fuller

Yesterday at peace
Today bursts out
Tomorrow beckons
Time is relative

Dreams are bright
Desires are focused
Fear is absent
Doubt is starved

Rivers rush to the ocean
Mountains reach the stars
Waves caress the shore
Dawn kisses each petal


Sunlight warms
Rain cleanses
Breeze kisses 
Earth nurtures

Thoughts shift
Words change
Actions follow
Goals reached

Let Me Tell You.....

There's this man I know.....
He is amazing and intelligent.
He is compassionate and generous.
He is passionate and motivated.
His smile is the sun of the galaxy.
His words are a symphony to the soul.
His view of the world is a Van Gogh in progress.
In his presence I feel such energy and joy.
In his presence I see so much more lit by his glow.
In his presence I am encouraged to know that I am more with him than I ever was before him.
In his presence I feel free to be me, to be and to be more.
There is such happiness in being in his presence.
There is such encouragement in being surround by his presence.
There is such serenity in being within his confidence.
He is the best friend.
He is the best mentor.
He is the best confidant.
He is the best.
Best of all...................
I am his!

Meet Me Tomorrow

Yesterday was covered in clouds,
Outside none dared to venture
Under the awnings huddled the masses

Another end to something good
Remembering the joy of ole
Ever wishing for more

Make me that again
Yes we can have more

Sing to me of dreams unlived
Hear the desire in my voice
I know the way to get there
No room for doubt here
Instead only love for you
Need and want combine
Great are the pure of heart

Stubborn and naive in realness
Taking your hand to drag you near
All will be better than before
Rest knowing that I Love You So

Winter

As winter, so is his Fate
Storm comes again,
Clouds block the Sun
Wind blows, the world turns white

How long will it last
The question hangs
Just like the breath
In the air thick and heavy, waiting

He stands at the door
You should go
Before its too late
Get wood, we will need fire

Her look is gentle
Even kind, he stares
He stills, what if she stays
No, not that, she must go

Like reading his mind
She tilts her face
To see him direct
I'm here to stay, I can't leave

But the darkness comes
The winds will howl
The snow will fall
For how long will it last, this time

The stillness comes
Like an avalanche
It is heavy and unbending
But she doesn't move, he stares

She rises, he watches
I can do this too
She piles the wood
Lights the tinder and gently blows

He turns away
This isn't right
Not the plan at all
How can it be not what I want

She puts on water
What is she doing
What is she thinking
I said go, she can't say

I don't mind
I like storms
And when Winter leaves
When Spring comes, then tell me bye

If you still must
If you still want
If you still need
But I will not leave while dark comes

Valentine

I've got a secret,
for my one and only,
just to make you
feel my love,
at last,

You make me smile,
I am hopelessly addicted,
when you kiss me,
you leave me.....
breathless

If I leave it all
in Boston,
Would you come along
to New York?

You teach me
how to be loved,
These words, you say,
Take me to Heaven

To hear you say, you
Miss me when I'm gone,
In my heart, you
Bring on the wonder

Nothing else compares,
when you,
love like we do

I will love you,
Always Forever

Faces

Which face to wear today?
Should it be the happy face,
the one that is smiles and laughs
all sunshine and lolipops
good thing no one looks at you

Which face to wear today?
Should it be the strong face,
the one that never flinches
all knowing and certain
nothing to surprise or shock

Which face to wear today?
Should it be the thinking face,
the one that is quiet and removed
all distant and thoughtful
no real emotions just facts

Which face to wear today?
Should it be the pleasing face,
the one that simply says yes
all please and thank yous
no demands or requests

Which face to wear today?
Should it be a question asked,
to feel the need to hide
no honesty no truth
nothing that is real or worthy

She

She's not quite enough,
She's not tall enough,
Even when she jumps,
It is all luck if she grabs the bar
She's not small enough,
She isn't considered petite
She's just somewhere in between

She's not quite enough,
She's not smart enough,
Even when she tries
It just isn't enough for any pride
She's not smart enough
She's not respected for thought
She's not not smart enough
She's not blissfully ignorant
She's just somewhere in between

She's not quite enough,
She's not nice enough
Even when she tries
Its too much or just wrong
She's not nice enough
She's not considered sweet and kind
She's not mean enough
She's not considered strong and independent
She's just somewhere in between

She's not quite enough,
She's not old enough
Even when she speaks
Her words are not listened to
She's not old enough
She's not considered knowledgeable
She's not young enough
She's not naive and innocent
She's just somewhere in between

She's not quite enough,
She's not rich enough
Even if she could
She would not buy him or his love
She's not rich enough
She doesn't own her world
She's not poor enough
She won't sell her heart or soul
She's just somewhere in between

She's not quite enough,
She's not pretty enough
Even all dressed up
She doesn't stand out of any crowd
She's not quite pretty enough
She won't turn heads
She's not quite plain enough
She isn't completely ignored
She's just somewhere in between

She's not quite enough
She's not a lot of things
She wishes she was more
She's not the worst of things
She knows there is worse for sure
She's just somewhere in between

She's not quite enough
She tries her best
She knows it usually short
She gives her all
She knows its too wrong
She just isn't quite enough

I Try

It starts as just a feeling,
Just this faint little nag,
A little shadow in the back of my mind
It sits and waits

It waits for the sun to rise and fall,
Then in the dark it grows
Just a little at first
Just a whisper, a wonder

It waits for the silence to show
It knows that silence echos the whisper
It sends the whisper to fill the silence
Just a thought, a question

I try to ignore the rise and fall of the sun
I try to encourage the voices in my head
To keep out the silence
To drown the whisper

I repeat words heard
I whisper wishes in the dark
I grab emotions to hold tight
I beg for what I need most

I sit and wait
I wonder and think
I converse with the voices in my head
I imagine a different day

Rise and Fall
Step Forward
Step Backwards
Fall Down and Stand Back Up

I have

Beautiful sights
Love given
Eternity
Serenity
Sights unimaginable
I love yous
Night treasures
Gifts given
Salvation

Who?

I stand on the ledge,
I look down and wonder-
Who is really the brave one?
The one who flies into eternity
Or the one left on the edge.

I stand on the ledge,
I look around and wonder-
Who notices if we stay or go?
The stranger in the cafe
Or the one whispering of love.

I stand on the ledge,
I look up and wonder-
Who notices us, really notices?
The angels on high
Or just the shadows of our dreams.

I stand on the ledge,
I look down and wonder-
Who is looking and seeing now?
Just a stranger bored with their day
Or no one with time in the rushing of life.

I stand on the ledge,
I look around and wonder-
Who would feel it at all?
The stranger that is witness
Or those called friend, family, love.

I stand on the ledge,
I look up and wonder-
Who am I to wonder at all?
Who am I to matter at all?
Who am I to lose at all?

Still

Alone without another
It comes midnight
Not even the moonlight
Still it searches.

Sun rises Sun sets
Beyond the reach
Sheltered by the clouds
Still it searches.

New Moon to Full Moon
Winter to Winter
Sleepless dreamless
Still it searches.

Torrents of rain
Gales of wind
Flashes of lightening
Still it searches.

Air biting cold
Frost to ice
Snow of blizzards
Still it searches.

Mountain summit bluster
Scorching desert sands
Roar river rapids
Still it searches

River Styx
Coin for the feryman
Firey cold of Hades
Still it searches.

Still it searches.

Words......

They plan escapes,
They carry you off to far away lands,
They protect you,
They make you forget the hour glass sands.

Sights and sounds
Wonders and delights,
Places and people,
Hope and freedom.

You are strong,
You are clever,
You are brave,
You are pretty.

Dreams and desires,
Rivers and mountains,
War and peace,
Justice and honor.

Find the answer,
Find the way,
Find your purpose,
Find your path.

Time and space,
Light and darkness,
Heroes and kingdoms,
Seas and shores.

Take the chance,
Take the risk,
Take the bet,
Take it all.

They can take you away,
They can bring you back,
They can keep you safe,
They can make you sound.

Words on pages
bound in books
the answer to ever
within each line

I See

You are larger than life.

You are like the sun
bringing light to the world,
You are like the oak
giving shelter and strength.

You are a knight, a protector
giving hope to the hopeless,
You are a beacon, a fortress
providing guidance and shelter.

You are like the ocean
immense and bountiful,
You are like the mountain
solid and eternal.

You are a mentor, a teacher
showing the path to the blind,
You are a friend, a confidant
giving support and encouragement.

You are amazing.
