Thanatopsis

Our God contains us all within his realm,

Upon the Earth we shall remain to die.

To make mistakes and learn each lesson well,

In Nature’s peace, acceptance will be found.

Though tears are shed, life still goes on each day,

The freedom of our new lives brings them joy.

Beneath the ground each soul is bound by roots,

Which forms a tree for those we love to see.

Our death forms flowers on this tree of life,

Reminding all who see it, we are gone.

To lands with blue skies, filled with clouds and stars,

With meadows green and full of flower blooms.

Soon we will find the others who have passed,

Are with us now in Nature’s perfect land.

And those we miss will join us in the end,

For Nature’s essence destines unity.

So when you lay down in your bed to dream,

Remember well the lessons Nature taught;

That death will come to all who lived and dwelled,

And bring eternal life in Nature’s peace.

Igloo's and Pancakes

These were dated April 14, 2010, but were never really finished.

Funny how we have more fun in the silence then when we've the opportunity to talk. More gets done, and less gets said. I won't deny love but no one said it wasn't special. Who's to say we don't know what love is because we're younger.. who's to say we can't be different. Maybe if you stop calling me names other than my own, you'll see I'm only me. And maybe you'll realize that thats all you'll ever get, because i won't change for anything. I'm more than you think, why don't you just clear your cloudy eyes, of all the things you want me to be, and see what i am and have potential to be.

i remember back in the day,

when we'd sit around, play,

and remember things we lost,

thinking only of the cost

rather than the effort and the pain,

not enjoying whats simple or plain.

and that brings me to people,

digressions never bothered me so much

but heres my plan;

to keep this to the point without a rhyme,

without a reason

but for you to understand

that people are corrupt and we don't care

don't look around,

promise me you'll keep your innocence

and never frown,

cause that would give you wrinkles,

age beyond your years

(insert stanza)

but we've lost those fears,

layed down in the grass

and thought three more years,

were all we'd have to wait.
So we became dedicated patrons

to igloos and pancakes

now we've got two years to devote

to hoping, wishing, praying

that tomorrows not as far as it seems,

cause I've already spent a year,

of counting tomorrow's,

and I'm falling short on sleep

Emotions

A teasing smirk, a laugh, a smile,

my lovers joy, my hearts desire.

Flowing sheets, oceans breeze,

perfect set up, perfect scene.

His warm heat, my cold skin,

bodies together, fingers entwined.

My pouting glance, his perfect lips,

come close together, he gives me a kiss.

Calm and collected, hes in control,

my breath quickens, as his slows,

His hand on my cheek, arm on my side,

my mouth finds his neck, he lets out a sigh.

our emotions take over...

Beautiful Things in the Summer

all through my studying... 

i've kept thinking.... 

"july... its all for july." 

Now I'm just waiting 

for that rainstorm you've promised me.. 

cause it'll bring beautiful things in the summer

Cloud

Clouds brought rain

and with the rain

came storms

that lasted forever

no end came

till we prayed it would

but then we found

a new storm had come.

Water poured from out eyes

& tears from our hearts,

staining a once pure life

with misery and pain.

when the clouds went away,

the skies remained grey,

and the shadows cast by them

became rainbows.

Burn Marks and Pokadot Stains

flame in the candle;
don't burn out, don't burn out.
Fell asleep in silk sheets,
and tears, tears stained them.

Left the window open
just to feel the breeze, blowing
but there was a storm;
natures in my house (ohhh)

Ivy walls, greenery
all the things, we should be,
leaves are on my furniture
dying, dying--

had a dream time was going quicker,
woke up, found it all gone
figured out its not just in my mind

Children running around outside,
running, running.. screaming--
knowing not one day,
one day it'll be for their life.

Funny how you find out
trees will come to harm you
over grown the concrete
surround you with beauty and pain

*refrain*

candle with a flame
and it burned out, burned out.
silk sheets looking shabby,
with burned marks and pokadot stains.

Bleeding Butterflies/Beautiful Phoenix

I'm bleeding butterflies,

don't be afraid to open your eyes.

these rainbows are the most amazing,

buried between the tears i cry.

why are you telling me,

to stop this addiction,

to listen to a fallen angel

who lost her wings to demons.

Sometimes you have to succumb,

to the flames that threaten,

to eat us in the most beautiful way,

to kill us to make us alive.

Don't tell me you can't see it,

you've been friend to dirty bottles,

that only make you sleep,

until you wake to wonder why.

Go away in peace, my love,

before your blue skies fade to grey.

you'll never see how much I love you,

you're focused on dough and not emotion.

Lost In Forever

Once upon a time,

another fairy-tale,

left without an end,

true love fails again.

And if its at starbucks,

three years, a drive thru,

that has created pain,

from no-shows.

I trust you with all my heart,

I gave these days away,

to crying out rainstorms,

that only you can control,

But wheres my mind in this,

where are our souls?

..we are lost in forever--
