How everything comes crashing down
When you can't see beyond your fears
How the frustration continues to build
When you create your own tears
We must all learn to let go of ourselves
To embrace the monster within
We must all learn to love ourselves
And quiet the negative din
It is only when we see beyond our walls
True peace and love will reside
Only when we walk another's path
Will we truly learn to rejoice
Fm 8-30-08
How do I shed this cage of skin?
Let shine through the girl within.
Plenty mistakes I've made.
But my life I'd never trade,
The joys and sorrow, even tragic heartbreak.
It has made the woman I am today.
Yet I still have moments I'm unsure,
Not positive if on the road of life,
I've made the right turns.
But my journey has been my own.
I have stories which can only be told,
In hushed whispers to friends of old.
Moments in the sun where I've shone.
Spaces in darkness only I can recall.
Maybe I've no need to shed this skin.
Only learn to embrace the woman, once girl, within.
Fm 8-29-08
My days seem dreary
Now back at home
The days are weary
And I'm all alone
The excitement is over
My travel is done
Right back to the grind
My days of fun all gone
But I wouldn't trade a moment
For the sights I have seen
A month of constant movement
Experiences I'd only dreamed
I walked a famous city
Full of joy and a bit of despair
I marveled at the history
And all that's happened there
I danced the streets of shire
Ribbons braided in my locks
A time of courts and maidens
Where chivalry is still in stock
I flew across the country
To family and friends delight
Faces I have longed to see
Never enough time, my plight
One more day I had left
Old love many years past
Part of my childhood I saw
Only to let go with a breath
So many faces I've seen
A summer not soon to forget
The memories I'll always cherish
But now, my friends, I must rest
Fm 8-29-08
When I said I'd come
I tempted fate
When you held me close
You tempted fate
When we clasped our hands
We tempted fate
When we shared a laugh, a drink, a kiss
We tempted fate
When you asked and I said yes
We tempted fate
When we had only a day
The Fates granted
Our temptation
Fm 8-29-08
I want to live with no regrets,
But it seems my life is always a mess.
Tangled up in things I shouldn't be.
I was only being me,
My conscience is clear but for your worries.
I would never cause you pain or trouble,
Nothing to gain but, risk the loss of you.
I can't go through that again.
I refuse to risk the life you've built,
Or put your happiness on the line.
How could I ever tear your world apart?
When it would mean the destruction of mine.
So I'll walk this path along side you,
Only wishing I could hold your hand.
But knowing eyes which are watching,
Would never understand.
How we came to this place and time,
For one simple day experienced the divine.
I will cherish your touch, your kiss,
The love we made, and a moment of bliss.
But my lips are sealed with your kiss love,
My heart contained in respect for her,
For the love you already hold so dear.
No my love, I would never tear it asunder.
Fm 8-28-08
I have not the patience
To stir in my mind
The essence of creation
And the passage of time
I have only the moments
Of times which have passed
Snippets I hang on to
Just within my grasp
I ponder these flashes
Pictures in my mind
Sleep calls to my conscience
In my dreams I rewind
Fm 8-27-08
Somewhere in the darkness
In the depth of dreams
You knew
I have always loved you
Fm 8-27-08
A love thought lost is found again.
How our lives are different yet the same.
We stepped back in time.
Saw the possibilities of a different line.
The day will ever be ours.
And the rain will never be the same.
Fm 8-27-08
A lesson taught with fire
Only leaves a student
Timid of the flame
Remaining cold and shaking
With a bodies need
To stay warm
Another teacher may try
But of the lesson
She'll be ever wary
Her stubborn refusal
Makes sympathy turn
To pity and apathy
Was it really her fault?
She was burned first
By trusting her heart
Fm 8-22-08
How love can tear us apart.
Yet put us back together.
It rips and shreds our heart.
And sews it up all the same.
The one who loves shows the scars.
But continues to hide the pain.
I want to be torn apart.
And patched back together.
Fm 8-21-08
How I turn myself
Inside out
With never ending doubt
Fm 8-7-08
The pulse of the music,
Moves the rhythm of my heart.
Enters my every fiber,
Makes me yearn for more.
My heart rate quickens,
To match the tempo of the beat.
My body moves of its own volition.
I sway and move my feet.
Time has disappeared.
There is only this moment.
My drink never empties.
And I take no notice.
Them someone grabs my hand,
Says it is time to go.
The pause makes me aware,
Of the empty cup in my hand.
How many have I had,
To make my head swim so?
It doesn't matter now,
It is time to move.
Move away from the music,
Move away from the dance.
But the feeling doesn't leave me.
My heart is still quickened,
By the sounds in my head.
The music moved me that night.
And I shall not soon forget,
How it entered every muscle,
And let me lose control.
Fm 8-6-08
Share with me,
All of what you are,
And desire to be.
Show me your journey.
I want to walk,
Where you have tread.
Let me see the world,
Through the vision,
Of your eyes.
Help me understand,
What justice means,
In your mind.
Let me in.
I would never damage,
Such a precious soul.
Try me.
Trust in your heart,
It is the right thing.
Believe me.
I never want to cause,
Your tears of pain.
Fm 8-5-08
Looking up to a sky of stars.
I wonder what would I see,
If I could only move closer.
Would their light be brighter?
Or their colors clearer?
Would it solve my curiosities?
Or just add to my ponder?
Are they really just gaseous balls?
Or could they really be,
The jewels they seem?
Placed so carefully in the sky,
For us to see.
