Tonight

Tonight




I said a prayer for you tonight
Marveling in the moon's expression;

I hope you look out your window...
And when you gaze among the stars
Observing that brilliant star which stands solitary
I wonder if you recognize I'm there likewise;

For just one moment
Close your eyes
Remember my heart
You are not alone

Let Me Go

Let Me Go

Nov. 08, 2007 at 10:33am



Cold wind strikes her face
Tears frozen in place
Howls down the passageway
Turning, running steadily
He's coming for you
He's coming for you

Free me from this disaster
But he'll never let her
Beads of sweat and chilled to bone
Fires burning, cursed in stone
He's coming for you
He's coming for you

The light so far I cannot reach
Bloody wounds from his impeach
She must fight this ongoing rage
Bitterly, scorned, ravaged cage
He's coming for me
He's coming for me

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Please help me
Just let me go

Insomnia (Aw, Sh**)

Insomnia
Aw, shit.

Nov. 21, 2007 at 12:33am

Endless night
Robbed of sleep
Computer light
Absorbed deep

Imagining him there
What he's dreaming
Runaway affair
Heart beaming

Traffic in head
Days rush by
Foretell said
Conflicting whys

It's cold in this room
Bare-skinned shivering
Impending doom
This house settling

Raped with fear
Dwelling on when
Lost for tears
Indulging again

The clock echoes
Showing no mercy
Loneliness knows
Never to escape me

The Tide Rolls In

The Tide Rolls In

Jan. 14, 2008 at 09:24pm



The tide pulls back with no mercy
Concealed earths exposed
The sun gravitates depleting light
Fighting with fire with its chromatic beams

Despite how splendid,
The icy gale still blows

Darkness sets in with fair sky
The wild and e'er ravenous gulls fly home
Morning awaits
The smell of salt in the air is all that remains
Breathe it in

For tomorrow,
The tide rolls in once again

Time

T I M E

Mar. 04, 2008 at 06:06pm

it seems like a million years ago, we sat in the park; with only a touch gracing my face, out loud i could hear your heart.

daylight comes, nighttime falls, time sweeps quickly by; my body grows tired, my heart grows cold, always in goodbye.

the sun is beaming through my window, bouncing off my naked skin; on the bed i reach next to me, but my heart only breaks again.

Tears in a Bottle

Tears in a Bottle

Jul. 10, 2008 at 09:52pm


Sometimes when I come home late at night, I look upon the dark night sky, while adjusting my focus, a million stars appear. I recall of you and I weep.

Sometimes I step out into the rain, so no one can see my tears.

Sometimes when I lay in the hot sun, and the tears roll down my cheeks, I can be grateful for the sun promptly soaking them up to the sky.

Sometimes when it's really late at night, I lay in bed crying, because I know there is no one there to hear me.

Sometimes I cry when everyone is on the dance floor; laughing, spinning, loving, because you're not here.

Sometimes when I'm driving in my car, I blast the radio loud so I don't hear my own sobbing.

Sometimes I tread deeper in the oceans wrathful waves, so the salty tastes are one.

Sometimes I roar in laughter regardless if it was unhumorous, because it's easier to reveal.

If I could capture a week's tears in a bottle, I'd cork it and ship it across the sea, hoping it would reach your adoring hands; where my heart everlastingly remains.

In The Garden / In Daddy's Arms

In The Garden
In Daddy's Arms
A Tribute to Daddy
Jul. 15, 2008 at 03:57pm


A little girl runs in her garden
Her hair so long shimmering in the Summer sun
Waving, bouncing like a cherub's locks

Wisping through the leaves of hanging branches
Her father follows laughing behind her
Her giggle echoes and bounces off the sky
He is gleaming
A reverb that remains in his heart still 30 years later

He fails to catch her despite his strength and endurance
She's so small and clever
And hides behind the thick bush, almost under it
He sings her name, calling her
She covers her mouth while concealing herself
Pulling her toes in closer
Her dirty knees exposed from under her dress
Giggling uncontrollably
To the point where she is unable to contain herself

He finds her and she let's out a shriek
Laughter from both fills the garden
He grabs her and holds her high to the sky
Proudly looking at her
She smiles down at him
There is no greater love

Oh, how beautiful she is, so sweet
My baby girl
For a moment he thinks of her future
What will become of her
And if it will have a happy ending

He spins her making her laugh once more
Daddy, daddy, pleaseeee she gasps I'm so dizzy
He pulls her to him, embracing her with all his heart
Her tiny body wraps around him and her face nestles in his shoulder

He wishes so badly, he could stay in this moment forever
He wishes he could always keep her safe
