Caught Me Off Guard
Somewhere you are sitting
Unaware of how I feel
Then again maybe you know
How I wish that you'd reveal
Every now and then
I like to close my eyes
Pretend that you're with me
The dreams I fantasize
Honestly I wish you knew
The things inside my heart
Everytime I think of you
I wish...

Ted was walking down the sidewalk headed to a friends house.
He was smiling as he thought about how much fun they were
going to have watching the first football game of the year...

He never made it.

Out of the blue a shot was fired. Ted lay dead...

Your Love Caught Me Off Guard
Captured by your charm
Lost in your gaze
Scared of no harm
Yet shaking at the feel of your warmth
Begging time to stand still
Asking the stars to capture this memory eternally
Yes, I was caught 
Lost in love's web

The night echoed our secrets
The day read up our history
Every one...

empty stomach
eyes bagged from lunch
lingering taste

stains of the meek

the dry mouth dream
hopes for buildup to swallow
to flush the liquid unclean

ache of head
drool glued to the bed
a familiar vortex
spins out...

On top of a steep hill lived a mean witch named June,
She looked for the young and old on Hallows eve’ night.
Casting many spells galore, she loved the full moon;

One day the elder of witches took her...

Caught me off-guard
Your eyes prevent me from thinking a lot,
yet let you prey on my mind.
Cannot really describe the happiness they plot
Because in my mind, there is a lot to find.

They always find their way to my heart
Funny how they never deceive my sight.

Your prestige is presumptuous...
