Hot taste in my mouth

Softly I break
under the weight
of your words
you don't even think
of what you say,
I feel confused
by your carelessness
wasn't I beautiful once?
I suppose your
attention span
is only as long
as the next
set of legs
who stroll
past you.
I feel sorry
for your shallow eyes
not seeing
only wanting.
The sheath surrounds
my beating heart,
an infinite space
you will never enter.
You remain trapped,
I will always be free.

Floral Pattern

Suffocating in wide open space
Drowning in the air all around
I see you all searching
then I close my eyes
I do not want to see
what you are looking at
I do not want to hear
what you are listening to
I choose to sink
Sink into the Earth
deep into the cool earth
Forget about trying to show me
You mean nothing to me
You are a moment
I am forever
Flash your flashy colors
Sing those catchy tunes
My words echo through eternity
While yours sound until
your time is up

Dynamite

Nothing to prove
I've got nothing to lose
No one to race
Set my own pace,
Perceiving love
From the sky above.
Happy is a choice
I have made
I go forward
Completely unafraid.

Letters

Welcome, or Farewell
I am not able to tell
When or where
I am going
or how long...
is it fair
to sing this song
aware of how it ends
I love you just the same
We are the best of friends
Laughing all day
and every night
I want to hold your hand
and be the most beautiful
in your sight
but these things I can't control
best left to life and soul
I'll play my part
exactly as I am
and if I make you smile
if only for awhile
my heart will sing forever
and a day
so when I leave your side
don't think
or even try
to understand exactly
what this was
because as the flower grows
and like the water flows
we are aspects
of an ever changing world
So look me in the eye
even if you want to cry
and tell me
it's all OK with you
I will be my best
my heart splashing
in my chest
and tell you this is how
it's meant to be
and someday
far away
I will hold my heart at bay
when I learn that you
have found some one to love
I will carry on
and I'll keep singing
the same old song
A song of wonder
fills my lungs

I am full of wonder
You are wonder ful

Know Thyself

Playing my part
I read the music in front of me
Directed by some special hand
The music is loud
Arousing the crowd
I am wickedly
wild and free
the sounds that I make
they vibrate and shake
the living right out of their chair
So get up and dance
This Love is a trance
all we must do is say Yes
Stare off into space
there's no one to race
Fly out of that cage and fly far
Be Bold and brass and beautiful
Be proud to be who you are!

Know Thyself.

A Vivid Dream of Falling

I sit here now
as you drive away
wondering what your thinking
how your feeling, what you'll say.
Hard to cut the flower
before its had the chance to grow.

Thank you for your balanced mind
I learned so much from you
You've been a light
I have never known
and never will again
No one else will ever be
who you are to me
You are a very special friend.

Rains

Frozen life
Melting death
Hold on to something
enjoy the ride
cause things are shifting
and there is no ground
you better start thinking
how you're getting found
I worry not
I know exactly where I stand
the rains fall down around me
my mind wanders to distant land
at the cause of my misery
is the tree I planted
I am sheltered here
Uproot the evils
you have planted in your heart
Burn down the institutions
that glow in the dark
Join me today
with a smile on your face
and call an end to this race
Love is the ship
that will bring us to shore
I dry my eyes
and I'll cry no more
I have tasted the power
of being alive
I am not waiting
any where I am I thrive

A winding road
becomes straight and still
an arduous climb
has become downhill
I need not want
not hope, not fear
