Just give it some time,
Just take it one day at a time.
This isn't the first time,
Nor will...

Hunting for its prey with strength and envy
My coat of fur is shivering from the cold

I think of sundaes and sunshine and all the euphoria,
But I can’t help but carry...

I will admit I was a tightwad, though that fact shames me now,
As never changing mountains, often colorful mists will allow!

I never meant to be unkind, but only endeavored to be practical,
Like the moon exiting...

I Love Cotton Candy,
Flowers Still In The Ground,
A Cricket That Makes No Sound,

I’ve made my entrance into this world.
You looked at me with your eyes you did adore.
Your love and protection I could feel
My name you gave me was written and sealed.
You held and nurtured me all...

Under the cathedral of infinity, stretched above lost dreams,
I do nothing with my life but romanticize and decay in indecision,
I weave dreams from the ethereal threads of the moon and drape them with the charm...

I awoke unto a silence familiar to the past
Where my heart slept late, dreaming of her dimples, of her smile
For only in my dreams did I get to hold her, kiss her, feel her art...

look at the state of you
your face turned up
as if i were rotten
saying your a bloody mess
one's heart falls in hurt
a deep churning pain
in its ache

deep inside 
i begin to cry

Written with compassion for people who are broken shells. They've chosen the Darkness instead of the Light. It reminds me of the scene in "Under the Tuscan Sun" when Sandra Oh's character, Patti, talks about...

I remember a day I smiled at her
And she smiled back
That was miles away
down the road
We parted there
And I came back

No trace, no note, no sign
I wondered if she

We were children that played, laughed, and cried together
ages that range different by years to decades

family gatherings brought us back together; fun continued
growing up throughout the years with...

The saddest lines begin tonight, with a lone soul 
Bare but for the thin veil of a pale white moonlight,
Beside myself, and taxed upon deep reflection,
For the night is starry, and my empty cup has...

I go to sleep and wake up in the same day 
But I'm loving my life
I wouldn't change a thing
Chasing a toddler and chasing dreams
