Dreamsicle

The sky was blue--no clouds at all.
Just the empty palette of a day past.
And --like the lightening, an airplane struck the sky
Big and Brave
and in a flash, it was gone.
Leaving behind the most brilliant stream of orange cloud
Creamy and Coiffed--elaborated tapestries of the sunlight's sweetness

That day I found a dreamsicle in the sky.

Time To Run

These footsteps fell harder than yesterday’s
Harder than most actually
Nonetheless, the urge to take what is mine in the world and go is…
Frustratingly close to the heart of who I thought I was.
So these footsteps remind the world that running is…..

These footsteps feel heavier than last week’s
I guess the weight of it all finally reached my feet.
Nonetheless, with cemented shoes like the ones my relativity wore before me
I run.
So these footsteps remind just me, that running is…

There is nothing like running
The wind at the back of you
The rush of leaving what you know you are coming back to 
Only somehow the time spent away from it
Feels like the hope you remember.

These footsteps feel as if they have lead me astray
Most of them guide me directly toward the impending finish line
But it looks as if I have never started running.
I’ve unknowingly unlaced my shoes
Exposed my socks to the air they have so desperately been missing
Sat down next to my problems
And
Talked to him about what running is.

Airplane Jane

To fly with Jane
across the sky
and 
glide amidst the sea
open the sheet of notebook paper, I see....

To fly with Jane
feel weightless in air 
and 
be suspended through thrashing wind
with the sheet of notebook paper, I bend....

To fly with Jane
at heights of total bliss 
and 
recall towns of old
with this part of notebook paper, I fold...

To fly with Jane
let away all worries
and 
recycle these thoughts
with this small part of notebook paper, I tuck....

To fly with Jane
through times so troubled
and 
release those peevish concerns
with that part of the notebook paper, I turn....

To fly with Jane
underneath valleys of green
and
travel past cray canyon dip
with the final part of the paper, I flip....

To see
to bend, to fold
to tuck, to turn
to flip-- to create

The only way to fly 
is to make Jane's device
of the sky--as have I

Stay

I have never had to say it...
the word, that now is pushing at the seams of my closed lips
but I find myself wanting to
I have never needed to say it....
the word that has the ability to cut me down at the knees
but I find myself wanting to
I have never thought to say it....
the word that begs to be meant whenever it is spoken
but I find myself wanting to
I have never had to say it...
that one word...
the one...
that takes away, in an instant, all the dependence I have on myself
but...
as always...
I find myself wanting to

I have never needed to say it
I never...guessed I would...say it
I..
should
probably
stop 
saying
never.
because that was before you
before I fell 
off the cliff of a beautiful free-fall, right into a pool of eternity with you
before I felt
the warmth of knowing that there is a special place for me, with you
before I could
imagine the world as a sphere of untapped boundless potential...
and you

I have never needed to say it.
before you
but tonight
as you pull your hands away, letting the cotton of your embrace slip of my reach 
I stare into you
letting the wells of my soul speak for me in a language that was made for you
and 
I have never had to say it
but I do.

Stay.

Found

I found a boy where I left myself
he was looking for me
like he had for centuries

i found a boy with eyes like the sun
he looked at me 
and instantly knew my past

i found a boy who dosent mind my defects
he likes the fact that sometimes fairytales are just make believe
and he wants me in his.

i found a boy where i least expected
he has been in love with me for as long as he can remember
and he waited patiently for me to find him

i found another part of me 
in a boy 
i found in a place where
i left all that i was
and commenced to
being 
the girl this boy.....
  
looks at with such wonder
stares at with  much delight
forgives constantly
holds tightly
cherishes daily
and
loves unconditionally

i found the boy 
who brought me back to life
and pledged to make me the
biggest part of his.

Twisted Love

Summertime blues
in the middle of fall
I'm faced with a problem
I can't fix at all

Sleep is hard to find
My feathers are bent
writing you love letters
that I hope get sent

My laughs are covered
My smiles are sick
Sun set suppressed emotions
that have yet to click

On bended knee I'm leaning 
praying to above

With a kiss
I tell you this

"You are the one I love."

What's Harder Than This

She's worried about him
He knows she is
the time that's passed--
the stuff he did

She would do anything for him
He would do the same for her
but both would never admit defeat

They could withstand almost anything, but can they survive deceit?

He feels guilty
She knows he does
and she will make him pay
He will grovel
She will stay

Now they're feeling empty
with nowhere to go but down
They can't make it like it was
Love can't save them now

He stopped talking
She shut down: just a cold and lackluster stare
Hugs-- harder than the dirt between them

He loves her and wanted to stay
She shrugged him aside 
She pushed him away

This was too large to handle
too late to try 
Problems too big for him or I
We let them ferment-- the arguments and such
The fussing
The fighting
It was all too much

She kissed him one last time
touched his face; to remember how it felt.

Gone By Tomorrow By Shardae Thomas

When tomorrow starts without me and im not here to see ,
 if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me .
 i wish so much you wouldnt cry the way you did today
 while thinking of the many things we didnt get to say . 
i know how much you love me , as much as i love you .
 anytime you think of me i know you miss me too . 
but when tomorrow starts without me , 
please try to understand
 that the angel came and called my name
 and took me by the hand ;
they said my place was ready in heaven far above , 
and that i have to leave behind all those i dearly love .
 but as i turned to walk away , a tear fell from my eye .
 i had so much to live for and yet so much to do ,
 it seems almost impossible that i was leaving you
 i though of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad , 
i thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had .
 if i could relive yesterday , i thought for just awhile .
 I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile .

Anytime

I could stop anytime I wanted to. 
the shadows just don't stop following me
I could stop anytime I thought to.
but overdosing clouds my judgment
I could stop anytime I feel to.
but hatred keeps me warm
I could stop any day I wanted to.
but first I have to get through this one
I could stop anytime I chose to.
but that would be too easy
I could stop if you asked me to...
But the question is...
Would you?

Just Right

I turn
only to see your face
next to mine
Sunlight
touches the perfect spots
Heat rises
and Eyes lock
at 
the sound of your voice
saying
"Hello Beautiful"
your Lips 
to my Forehead
tell me 
I'm Special
but the faint smell of 
toothpaste and old spice
say
your day was long
your Fingers
sweep the hair from
my Eyes
and I return the favor
your Arms
pin me beneath your side
and 
I feel your Heart
beat in sync with mine
Meant To Be: In that moment, life was just right
