Untitled.
Mine is no sad story,
rather, it is only a reflection of true life.
It has its ups and yes, it has its downs-
It has some twists and turns,
Its ins and outs.
Life is a series of pitfalls
And mountain tops.
The pitfalls remind me
of the mountain top's sweetness.
The mountains tops remind me
to engage my hope in the pitfalls.
Life is inevitable.
Hope is a choice.
rather, it is only a reflection of true life.
It has its ups and yes, it has its downs-

And mountain tops.
The pitfalls remind me

The mountains tops remind me
to engage my hope in the pitfalls.
Life is inevitable.
Hope is a choice.

My Love
I have a love that is forever,
I have this love that will never say never,
and I have a love that tells me I matter.
This love stills my anxious heart,
and it keeps me from falling apart.
I enjoy this love an this love is lavished on me.
My Love is great,
My Love is kind,
My Love is never far behind
me, this love is my soul to be.
In a moment,
at my worst I know I can always cry,
"I need you!"
And my love is there, no matter the day.
Love does not confuse me,
not will it ever abuse me.
Instead it...

In Those Moments
In my moments, baby,
in those moments, honey,
will you just
hold on to me?
Please, only pull me closer,
no words,
no questions,
only the silence of my falling tears.
Because, darling, in these moments
I really can't explain-
I just need you and the rain.
Rain down,
your warm love rains down,
so please don't let go
Wash me in your love.
Those nights- just you and just me,
as plain as we, truthfully, be.
Well, that's all I need you to be.
In love and so very close.
Thank you, my one, my only, my love forever and always.
in those moments, honey,

Thank you, my one, my only, my love forever and always.

Where was Superman?
You were supposed to be
my Superman,
my strongman,
my great champion.
Am I supposed to believe
that my Prince Charming is out there?
Because I feel like he couldn't be farther
from me.
So tell me, what do I believe?
Because I just can't seem to see
anything but
where my Superman was supposed to be.
My knight in shining armor
for him, I'll be waiting for forever and hours on after.
My Superman failed.
He fell short of the aim,
and I'm not sure if I can take this again
and I fear I can't regain
what I feel may be...
my Superman,
my strongman,
my great champion.
Am I supposed to believe
that my Prince Charming is out there?

Forever Friends
I don't have the words to say,
I have no more to give.
I am broken,
and I am sad.
Daily, I find myself surrounded
on all sides
by this storm- so severe
that it threatens to shatter
whatever's left of my backbone.
"I've been thinking, trying to get my mind sorted out"
So have I, my friend, so have I.
Inside my mind,
the only one who ever is
on a daily basis,
I'm the only one facing this-
an everlasting internal crisis.
"And while I haven't completely figured out my feelings, I do realize that I have...
I have no more to give.
I am broken,
and I am sad.

The Beast
He's right inside,
his bulk beating against his trappings,
and the metal cage employed to hold him-
failing.
His tongue lolls out, he screams to be let out.
This beast inside, hungry inside, untamed insides
Aggression and passion boiling up and out from inside.
I can barely stand it now,
with every ounce of energy he creates
one more ounce of my staggering breath makes its escape.
About to burst, it takes more than all
of my effort to not give in and just let him out.
Sure, it would be much easier
to let the beast inside...
his bulk beating against his trappings,
and the metal cage employed to hold him-
failing.
His tongue lolls out, he screams to be let out.
This beast inside, hungry inside, untamed insides
Aggression and passion boiling up and out from inside.
I can barely stand it now,
with every ounce of energy he creates
one more ounce of my staggering breath makes its escape.
About to burst, it takes more than all
of my effort to not give in and just let him out.
Sure, it would be much easier
to let the beast inside...

Shapes of Love
I've got these words that I'd like to say,
But for now been keeping them just at bay,
To allow for time
To organize
So that when the words to come out,
It won't be perceived as lashing out.
I know this hurts,
an I know its hard to maintain
being soft and showing your frailty
in spite of your timidity
But I find that I
can't help but see
this thick layer of haze
that's descended to cloud your longing gaze...
Now it may sound right
to get exactly what you've given
it may sound fair
to expect that too
But that is...
But for now been keeping them just at bay,

Rock Bottom
When I could no longer feel,
feel the beat of my spirit,
and the only beat from my chest
sounded forlorn and lost.
Reduced to a repetitive jerking motion,
solely bent on keeping me awake,
broken but not alive.
Out of the weakness that sprang,
from that mechanically beating heart,
I was wishing death-
death on everything that made me, me.
I wished for the nightmares to swarm,
their swirling mass of agony to bring back the dark.
I felt it swallowing me whole in the stillness that night.
Fear was dulling every sense,
And oh,...
feel the beat of my spirit,
and the only beat from my chest
sounded forlorn and lost.
Reduced to a repetitive jerking motion,
solely bent on keeping me awake,
broken but not alive.
Out of the weakness that sprang,
from that mechanically beating heart,
I was wishing death-
death on everything that made me, me.
I wished for the nightmares to swarm,
their swirling mass of agony to bring back the dark.
I felt it swallowing me whole in the stillness that night.
Fear was dulling every sense,

Finally
I'm beginning
to love this so much more than before.
Every glance,
every chance... to see-
I'm beginning to believe,
beginning to really receive
everything.
And it turns out- it was always meant to be mine.
Because everyday
in all the little ways, I learn to love it so much more.
I won't shut anymore doors,
I won't dim these new reflections,
And everyday that used to be filled with screaming,
everyday, I will finally let myself hear
No longer subject to my old desperate fear.
And I'm living it up now, never...
to love this so much more than before.
Every glance,

In Your Hands
In the palm of your hand,
I will find my peace,
because even while the world keeps
spinning,
In the palm of your hand
all my strivings are meant to cease.
And these choices I make
They cause my knees to break
So I'll fall to my knees
calling "Father... please..."
And I will try
to make it day by day
and fail every time
But one thing I know
Because you love me so,
that when the storm comes
I can carry on.
But Father, please,
when you look at me,
won't you tell me who you see
because all I...
I will find my peace,
because even while the world keeps
spinning,
In the palm of your hand
all my strivings are meant to cease.
And these choices I make
They cause my knees to break
So I'll fall to my knees
calling "Father... please..."
And I will try
to make it day by day
and fail every time
