...Don't forget to say goodnight
'Cause when you do my world seems right
For though the bed bugs may not bite

You Are Missing Out Don't Let People Fool You
...Run to God, learn to do it each day.
He created us and only He knows the way.

I lay my dreams next to her this tender night

And fortify me
Unlocks her doors of affection
And makes me glee

The hatch is locked
A scrambling splutter
As I reach for the key of circles, bolts and lines.

Purple Dreams In Other Realms
...She hummed a tune of moonlit grace,
soft as whispers through the trees,
each note a thread of ancient tales
woven on the breeze.
Her eyes held storms and lullabies,

I'm not in love with her; it's more than that, I'm haunted
...I'm not in love with her; it's more than that—I'm haunted.
Every time she looks at me, I feel the Earth tilt,
gravity trying to pull me closer to her.
She's not just in my thoughts; she is their a...

the thinner the air
The more that’s at risk
the less there’s to dare
As oxygen falters
your head becomes light
And looking above you
fear turns to delight

off-white moths, and butterflies -
and my third-grade teacher, long ago.
We all sat under a mulberry tree,
so a silkworm's dinner, we could see.
