The Fireflies Danced

In the late of autumn you noticed me and I trusted for what seemed to be the first time.
And the night found us talking alone, the stars surveying us, smiling on our innocence as
the evening's chill gave us leave to be closer.
But the winter brought change and with the snow came solitude.
You were far from me.
And days passed.
And springtime spread before me.
And summer found me busy, but watching you from the corner of my eye, hoping you saw me
too, holding my breath in anticipation.
But no change came.
And though, I longed to dance with you across the fields, bathed in moonlight, you were
out of reach... and the fireflies danced instead.
So, fall approached and the soft warm sunlight caught in the changing leaves, but the
coolness in the air did not draw us together again.
No, it only reminded me of our distance.
So, I learned to admire this beauty without you, but still I watched you from afar.
Yet, winter passed, spring faded, and summer stretched.
And the fireflies danced again.
Autumn fell, winter slipped, and spring unwound.
And the fireflies danced again.
And those months filled themselves with friends and laughter and lessons and tears, but
still I waited for you.
And the fireflies danced again.
So, slowly I relinquished certain things: ideals and daydreams, but not hope.
And the sun still cast a warm glow on the leaves and the wind continued to remind me of
you and spring never ceased to be itself.
And in their time, the fireflies danced again.
And I laughed deeper and loved more freely and I discovered that even when I put it all on
the line, I really couldn't lose it all.
Somehow, I always walked away with something.
And that year I marveled at those blinking, winged lights and I learned who I was and what
it meant most to be me and I let people in and I allowed myself to dream dreams without
you, to let you go.
And finally, those airy lights, those firefly friends of mine, brought back the fondest
memories... and at last I danced with them.

It Covers Me

I wear your love like a garment, like a sheet it covers me.
It drapes over my shoulders and wraps around my waist.
It blankets my heart.
As natives wear headdresses and tribesmen wear beads, identifying their clan, 
I wear your love and it claims me.
It names me as yours, silently and surely.
It cloaks me from the cold indifference of outsiders from other worlds, 
those that do not know my heart like you.
It adorns me with the beauty of your affection.
It keeps my secrets and cradles my form.
It slides across me, nestling in the crook of my arm, 
gathering at the bend of my knee, pooling around my feet.
Yes, it covers me.
And this love, this garment, redefines me. 
I am no longer a separate entity.
I am a part of something grand and beautiful and still.
For, your love is a garment, but OUR love is a world in and of itself
where I am your island and you are my oasis.
It is separate from the rest of the world with its own history and its own design.
Our love reconfigures borders.
It changes the tide.
It is a world where whispers are declarations and gestures are solemn vows.
It is a world where all things are both new and familiar.
So, I wear your love because I am yours, because I have always been yours.
And it shields me from the sun.
It guards me against the wind.
It holds me in your absence.
And yes, it covers me.
Your love changes everything.

Without This Distance In Between

My lips, lonely for your kisses
My skin, longing for your touch
My eyes, aching just to see you
I fear that I miss you too much

My breath should be against you
My fingers in your hair
My arms should be around you
I should not be here, but there

My heart should beat against yours
Now, that it's yours again
My hands, my mouth, my all
Are all open to let you in

My days want you to fill them
My nights spin themselves in dreams
Of you and I together
Without this distance in between

Always In the Air

You slip and turn like a falling leaf
I thought forever was what you'd mean
But I found out, you were just turning 'round again
As it turns out, you're not so grounded

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful

Falling for you changed my whole world
But somehow I was just another girl
Your fickle heart, tore mine apart on accident
You changed your mind, one more time as you fell

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful

And by the time you see what you've lost
I'll be happy again and moved on
All your regret, will just spin you 'round again
But no more content, with just falling I'll be held

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful

And when you finally hit the ground
And gather to you all the bits you've found
You'll wonder if, you'd do it all again like you did
'Cause your magic faded, as you exchanged me for the wind

Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, drifting here and there
But always in the air, always in the air
I adored, shadows in your form, I found you wonderful
You were beautiful, you were beautiful

A Letter For You

I never knew that love was like this.
I thought that love was showers and streams of happy meetings and good intentions,
But you show me that love is an ocean.
And it is as if you have unleashed that ocean to pour over me, overtaking me with its weight.
YOUR love is heavy.
It covers me.
It suspends me.
It moves me.  
And that same overwhelming love that rushes over me and envelopes me, holds me tenderly.
The same love that pools around me, stretches farther than I can see 
Into a horizon that meets both sunrises and sunsets.
It unfolds like waves unroll themselves on the shore.
It is as familiar to me as my own hand and as new as the wonder of moonlight on the sea.
It is both brand new and as constant as an old friend.
I forgot that you were my best friend.
Even still, the swell of your ocean, the rising tide of your affection 
Reaches out to me on the sand and it remembers me well.
Your love knows me and has waited all these years to sweep me up again.
I do not know how to resist it.
I can only surrender to it as it breaks over me.
And I find myself loving the undertow, caught up in the billows of you.
So, here I am wanting to be pulled out farther, wanting to get lost in you, to sink into you.
For, you flood my reason.
You wash away my inhibition.
You invade the whole of me and it leaves me wanting more of you.

Overwhelmed

(This is really a song...)

I want to see your face as the sun comes up, as the sun goes down
Each time this world spins 'round.
I want you near me as I spend my days, when I'm breathing
And breathing out again.
I want you near me everywhere I am

And all my dreams tell me, that I need you with me
I want you near me, now.
'Cause I can't think clearly with you out of my reach
I need you near me, now.

I love the way you see me inside-out, the way you take my hand
The way you make me laugh.
You hold my heart in the palm of your hand, and all this love you give 
Is truly a gift
But I never knew that love could be like this.

And all my dreams tell me, that I need you with me
I want you near me, now.
'Cause I can't think clearly with you out of my reach
I need you near me, now.

The door that let you in was a flood-gate and you overwhelmed me here
"Cause I had no defense for your love's tidal wave when you overwhelmed me here
And sometimes I get lost in amazement while you overwhelm me here
'Cause I could sit for hours listening to your breath you still overwhelm me here
Yes, you overwhelm me here

So, I want to see your face as the sun comes up, as the sun goes down
Each time this world spins 'round.
I want you near me as I spend my days, when I'm breathing
And breathing out again.
I want you near me everywhere I am
I want you near me everywhere I am

Lay It On Me

(this is another song)

I won't break
I can take it,
I will be just fine
What troubles you 
Troubles me too
Tell me what's on your mind

Lay it all on me
Oh, won't you please lay it all on me

You can lay it on me
You can give it all to me and
I'll wipe your tears away
You can tell me what you need and
I'll give you everything and
Be your one and only
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la

No one else
Ever felt
This way 'bout you before
I'll gladly be
Your everything
I'm all you want and more

Lay it all on me
Oh, won't you please lay it all on me

And in the middle of the night
You'll find me still right by your side
Until the sun breaks through (for you I will)
And when those storm clouds roll in
I'll be with you, you know it
And in the rain I'll shelter (I will)

So, lay it all on me
Oh, won't you please lay your love on me

You can lay it on me
You can give it all to me and
I'll be yours for always
You can tell me what you need and
I'll give you everything 'cause
You're my one and only
La-la-la-la la la-la-la-la-la

You're love's so 
Incredible
It blows out my mind
It's deeper than
Sea water and
It makes me feel alright

Lay it all on me
Oh, won't you please lay it all on me
I need you to lay it all on me
Oh, won't you please lay your love on me

The Girl She Tried To Hide

Broken underneath, worn and trembling, unnoticed all the while

For one to understand, meant to catch the slight of hand, that painted on her smile

'Cause she'd pretend to be, what you wanted to believe to forget the pain inside

Longing to be whole, she would sell her soul, to feel safe from time to time

So, on and on she went, and every day she spent, some piece she should have kept

Hiding there behind, the facade and the disguise, she could not disguard just yet

So, every day that passed, was always like the last, she often wondered why

Until she learned to see, that it was fine to be, the girl she tried to hide

'Cause lurking there unseen, had been her memories, and mistakes that she had made

But hidden deep inside, the truth denied the lie, that she should be ashamed

So, she learned to be ok, with just who she was today, and whom she'd always been

She opened up her eyes, she breathed for the first time, and the past became her friend

'Cause each tear that ever slipped, from eyelid to her chin, had somehow washed away

The pain that she had known, reveal the mercy she'd been shown, and taught her love along the way

And though she may never know, how she could ever go, from ashamed to finally free

She opened up her arms, she laid down all her guard, and embraced the mystery

If It's Real

Gentle breezes whispered by 
Beautiful scenery filled my eye
But there was something that I missed
Breezes, though so calming
Could not fill the longing
Of wanting to be kissed
Surrounding waves engulfed me
But soon they too felt empty
For I could only think of you
Scerenity holds its charms
But I'd rather be lost within your arms
Dear heart, I'm missing you
But still you cannot see
These words I've written thee
My heart I can't reveal
I feel I still must hide
These feelings deep inside
I'm trying to conceal
But when each thought of you
Just thrills me through and through
I'm swept away it seems
When each meeting's soon engraved 
And is oftentimes replayed
In the sweetest of my daydreams
So, I'm lost within the tide
Of feelings felt and yet denied
In a ceaseless ebb and flow
Of wanting you and yet
Trying to forget
What I already know
I dreamed of someone who
Reminds me very much of you
Do you somehow feel the same?
Though, I did not know till now
I've always wanted you and how
Some part of me cries out your name
But you wont catch me trying to find 
Some slick way to change your mind
If it's just not how you feel
For, if it's meant to be
I guess some day then we'll see
But only someday if it's real

My Heart Beats

My heart beats 
To the rhythm that you speak
Hanging on each phrase
My hope rides
On your syllable's tide
And the things you choose to say

My chest fills 
And for a moment all is still
When my name is on your lips
My heart gives way 
To the song that you make
With the sweet words that you let slip

I am undone
Unraveled and un-spun
As I realize that I've
Never felt this deep
Or felt so much at ease
Or been this much alive
