Time machine
I step into the time machine,
I close my eyes,
mind my dreams.
I know where I will go.
Where will I go?
Out through the glass star shiny sky,
then spinning fast, they circle by.
Circles in my mind.
What will I find?
There is the window,
There he stands,
Holding the spiders in his hands,
Grey shirt, orange sleeves.
Down fall brown leaves.
Gone with the wind I stir on my way,
where will I go?
Where will I stay?
Grey clouds above,
Feel my own love.
Moon...
I close my eyes,
mind my dreams.
I know where I will go.
Where will I go?
Out through the glass star shiny sky,
then spinning fast, they circle by.
Circles in my mind.
What will I find?
There is the window,
There he stands,
Holding the spiders in his hands,
Grey shirt, orange sleeves.
Down fall brown leaves.
Gone with the wind I stir on my way,
where will I go?
Where will I stay?
Grey clouds above,
Feel my own love.
Moon...

The Mighty Oak Stands Tall.
This mighty oak has seen it all.
The tales reside in the bark.
Can't tell by looking at it,
here when America got its start.
There is history stored within.
Yet man tried to take it away.
Remove in the name of progress,
it still survives today.
Born in the 1700's.
Washington was President then.
Betsy's flag still flew.
Churches heard their first amen's.
Remember the Alamo they yelled.
Took place while the oak stood tall.
Cowboys and Indians fought for the west.
The telephone allowed us...
The tales reside in the bark.
Can't tell by looking at it,
here when America got its start.
There is history stored within.
Yet man tried to take it away.
Remove in the name of progress,
it still survives today.
Born in the 1700's.
Washington was President then.
Betsy's flag still flew.
Churches heard their first amen's.
Remember the Alamo they yelled.
Took place while the oak stood tall.
Cowboys and Indians fought for the west.

siren
amidst the rustling of leaves
and entangled branches
the alluring call of a siren, like a mist
I'd be admiring if I could only see
methodically and melancholic, it breathes
its song into every crevice of my being
serenity's duet with the howling of the wind
the gentle beams of light permeating my skin
the concrete underneath my feet in resonance
with the dry, dead heaps of leaves that mute
the humming of traffic seething streets
and at last, I can see! O' what you mean to me
and entangled branches
the alluring call of a siren, like a mist
I'd be admiring if I could only see
methodically and melancholic, it breathes
its song into every crevice of my being
serenity's duet with the howling of the wind
the gentle beams of light permeating my skin
the concrete underneath my feet in resonance
with the dry, dead heaps of leaves that mute
the humming of traffic seething streets
and at last, I can see! O' what you mean to me

Untitled 2
I used to dodge Cupid
Thinking love was stupid
But his arrow gutted me deep
This feeling is so profound
Like a sweet melody
You stir my insides
I transform into a juvenile
Every time you smile so effortlessly
Whilst staring so passionately
With a serene face
Your love is like a moon
That shines brightest in
the dark times
Your voice so sweet
It's an infinite poetic rhyme
Thinking love was stupid
But his arrow gutted me deep
This feeling is so profound
Like a sweet melody
You stir my insides
I transform into a juvenile
Every time you smile so effortlessly
Whilst staring so passionately
With a serene face
Your love is like a moon
That shines brightest in
the dark times
Your voice so sweet
It's an infinite poetic rhyme

none
Heavy stones pave my way to hell
Stones of hate, anger and deception
Stones of separation.
Heaven’s ladder I build with deeds of love,
In patience, giving and acceptance
Both I built with my own hands.
Stones of hate, anger and deception
Stones of separation.
Heaven’s ladder I build with deeds of love,
In patience, giving and acceptance
Both I built with my own hands.

Blurry Daydreaming
I was in a random office on a random day for a random thing
I stared at a door sticker that said happy.. surrounded by flowers and rainbows
I stared until it got blurry
I soon could tell that everyone else in the room read the look of worry but for what reason I don’t know
I was just imagining things
let me be
just let me go
Into a realm of a day dream where everyday it could snow
Snow dreams, money, and happiness but where I was, I would never know
Low on a meter but one day I would rise
I think I was rising now, I hope so
I want to...

Happiness=Nature
Snow is melting
Sun is shining
And I'm starting to see grass
Its that time of year again
I love it so much
My mood improves
I can live in nature again
Nothing can break me
As long as I take a moment to look
Days are beautiful and bright
Nights are cool and mesmerizing
That is my true happiness
My time will be full
Enjoying the forest, river, and animals
Just listening to the sounds
I have a lot to look forward to
I don't need someone to make me happy
All I need is the world...
Sun is shining
And I'm starting to see grass
Its that time of year again
I love it so much
My mood improves
I can live in nature again
Nothing can break me
As long as I take a moment to look
Days are beautiful and bright
Nights are cool and mesmerizing
That is my true happiness
My time will be full
Enjoying the forest, river, and animals
Just listening to the sounds
I have a lot to look forward to
I don't need someone to make me happy
All I need is the world...

Not this, not that
They never told me
I could not be named
That my true face expressed
Through every form
That my real body spread
In every corner
Of this world and
Beyond.
I had to find this
On my own
Refusing labels
They gave me
Of things that I was not.
I could not be named
That my true face expressed
Through every form
That my real body spread
In every corner

kindled spirit
And when you came into this world
a fire was lit inside of me
a candle in my inner circle
burst and filled the void in me
You know your mom and I prepared
to keep that candle burning bright
to shower you with all our love
and help you stand here in our light
And even if the day might come
when darkness swallows our flame
just know we are so proud of you
and have been since the day you came
a fire was lit inside of me
a candle in my inner circle
burst and filled the void in me
You know your mom and I prepared
to keep that candle burning bright
to shower you with all our love
and help you stand here in our light
And even if the day might come
when darkness swallows our flame
just know we are so proud of you
and have been since the day you came

me
she loves
she loves me
she loves him not
i know she loves me
she lets me kiss her lips
down where the river runs deep
neath the tranquil shades of evening
where eavesdropping birds are piping
down where the river runs deep
she lets me kiss her lips
i know she loves me
she loves him not
she loves me
she loves

The Storm
Her sails were disheveled and worn, tattered and torn,
As she was headed toward a storm out at sea,
Alone but with the courage of a seafarers lust for life,
Under ominous clouds as far as the eye could see.
At first they were all rough blue waves and sprays,
But quickly they turned to walls overhead and high,
As the raging winds turned everything to blackness,
Followed by lightning in the frightening darkened sky.
She holds steadfast and strong with unwavering calm,
Knowing that all this will blow over into tranquility,
Even as...
As she was headed toward a storm out at sea,

But quickly they turned to walls overhead and high,
As the raging winds turned everything to blackness,
Followed by lightning in the frightening darkened sky.
She holds steadfast and strong with unwavering calm,
Knowing that all this will blow over into tranquility,
