The Lover- Oh, So Wrong (20)             You say that it's your fault, why it went all wrong
     You sang the wrong words, you held the wrong tune, you picked a lousy song.
                   Your mind went crazy- Made the mistakes
              Now you watch as we crumble, and slowly it breaks.

                   Everyth

The Boy With the GlassesThe boy with the glasses
Puts them on
And sees the world
For what it truly is

Cruelty, loneliness
He sees
Anger, frustration
He sees

And it is all too much
He can't take
Their expectations
Their rules, their ways

He would rather just see the world
Through his own blinded eyes
So he takes the glasses off
Not wanting to see
He takes the glasses off
To forget.

Heart On My SleeveThere are tiny holes
In the sleeves of all my shirts
And my sweaters
And my dresses
From where I used to proudly pin
My heart for all to see
Until that day it got torn off
Smashed and mangled on the ground
It's doing better now
I keep it tucked safely away
Although I still shiver a bit
Whenever the wind blows
Through those tiny holes

another day.
another week full of pain.

but this ones different.

he's sweet, sensitive.
nothing like the last guys.
how many will she go through?
before she changes her mind.
shes ruining her life.
she cries and cries.
but no one feels sorry for her.
not anymore.
shes just a tramp.
shes a mistake.
so what makes her do it then?
who knows?
but don't worry Emily.
the next one will be different.
the next one will love you.

SaltwaterTo wake up in a single's bed;
to drink the ocean from a cup.

AgingWhen I walk on the curbs
of downtown, I can turn my head
and see my reflection
in the glass.
In the windows that stand guard
against the smoke
and the rain
and the winds.
I can see myself,
flickering between panes
as I move down the streets.
I can see myself,
wrinkling
wisening
waiting to grow old
and learning how to remember.

To the Silver Moon[To The Silver Moon]
Shining brightly silver moon
From a crescent to full bloom
Up above the Earth so high
Like a lonely seeing eye
There was a dream all men shared
To stand on you and look back here
All through the ages that we dreamt
Till *god took us, so we went
Wars and battles you saw all
Life and death with no recall
But still you shine on with hope
The kind that we do not deserve
All the things from up there
And what we disregard down here
Sea of blue and brown patches
Filled with the mess of progress
Stepping off-world was a dream
Uniting the divided
Scars left by meteorites
Now joined by rubber soled prints
Sky's the limit wasn't true
A portal to the stars
The legacy left on the Earth
Can be continued from afar

Clay ladyShe was beautiful, kind and fair
With sparkling eyes and lustrous hair
Her smile was one that shone so bright
It called me as a beacon in the night

But when I touched her, she flaked away
When I touched her, she was made of clay

She moves so swiftly through the world
How should I have known her to not be a girl?
How could I have known she'd disappear,
Whenever someone should draw near?

But when I touched her, she flaked away
She crumbled up; she was made of clay

I remember her, to this day
The strange being made of clay
For what purpose was she made?
That dusty terracotta maid

When I touched her, she flaked away
Turning to d

I WonderWill I ever tell you, I wonder,
How you make me feel?
It's doubtful at best
For I don't even know
Who you are
I may have clues
But do I really want to know?
Yes, of course I do
Just the thought of you
Passing through my mind
Fills my heart with joy
I want to dance with you
Sing with you
Let you in my heart
And hope you want the same
But I'm not sure
If I have the courage
To tell you
Or even figure out who you are

We Have ForeverI think I've said all there is to say today
I've been filled with the devil
I followed him to heaven's door
I knocked
But they wouldn't let me in
I guess it wasn't worth dying for
I said a few choice words
That I probably shouldn't have chosen
I played with fire
And I was caught in a flood
I watched my blood
Run from the words on the page
I never said I was a sage
I only give advice to the willing
It can be thrilling
Having heavenly gifts
I know this
Because I believe you are mine
You are my present
In both essence and in time
I have only this rhyme to give to you
Swallow it slowly
Let it dissolve on your

DreamsI hate it when he leaves at night,
When those few dreadful words take flight;
"Goodnight, my Sweet, tomorrow calls,
The moon has peaked, and now it falls,
And I must sadly go to bed,
Where only dreams of you will tread."
If he must sleep, I'm glad he dreams,
I hope our time together gleams.
We live apart, so when he leaves,
There's part of me that always grieves.
Now, hours have passed; I miss him still,
Of time alone I've had my fill.
Tomorrow's dawn will soon be here,
And with the sun his arms draw near.
And so, to speed the moon's descent,
I'll go to bed, and I'll relent,
And while I dream, I'll dream of him,
Until the moo

thieveryshow me how to taste the sugar cube truths
and swallow the falsehoods that make my tongue

so swollen. share with me this bitter mocha,
it's our last date: dark chocolate with
whipped cream and cinnamon on top.
the elixir lends color to your
pallid face and worthless eyes.
humans, we are low and vulgar, you say,
because we kiss with our eyes open.
my tongue remains swollen

from all the lies i told you,
that quiver shawlless and ebbing
in the yellow air like tagged machetes:
the feverish promise i gave you,
failed to see through, then rebuked.

but these waters were always salted, pirated
by angels, contaminated by the tear

Do You Remember?Do you remember when we were younger?
The days were brighter.
The world was simpler.
Everything that mattered made sense.
How have things changed so much?

Do you remember those two little girls?
Their lives were happier.
Their dresses were spotless.
No invaders had left them ragged and worn.
Where are they now?

Do you remember those summer days?
The laughs were louder.
The girls were braver.
We shared countless carefree days in your backyard.
What has made the girls so sad and scared?

Do you remember when we were happy?
Our smiles were sincere.
Our tears were fewer.
Now I can't see you smile without thinking you're hiding de

Just a Little LongerDance with me just a little longer,
Though I know you have to leave,
Your face will linger on in my mind,
Long after our tune has faded

Love-Loves last Lines-

If I told you the truth would you laugh?
Would you trust that what I say is real?
The truth in my heart is too painful,
For one man to ever conceal!

Fancy words are for Lord's and Lady's,
The words I write are from the heart.
The truth I hold deep within me,
Is tearing me slowly apart!

If the truth was about you, would you listen?
Would you do anything for it to be free?
The truth that I hold so closely,
The truth about you and me!

My heart is an open book to you,
I could never deny you a thing.
The truth in my heart is a song,
That your love taught me to sing!

If you had one wish, what would it

The Last of the Warm Days

Save one last dance upon thy breeze,
For I, a leaf, doth fall for you.
O whipping wind! with gentle ease,
Twirl me softly, spin me true.

Glow strong! Glow bright, O setting sun!
Your dying rays a shadow cast
And I, a broken, little leaf,
Shall chill and fade to ground at last.

Sky so dark and night so fine,
The frost hath settled in my soul.
I'll keep this secret forever mine,
The last warm day I briefly stole.
