Not Your Average "My Life Sucks"

So many things to want, so many things to miss
So many things I've lost, so many things I wish
But somehow I was birthed, with strength, with drive
I have not been stripped of everything, still I survive
Nothing is as bad as it may seem
and I am thankful I still just breathe
Even with my world, crumbled at my feet
I close my eyes, and force away defeat
My empire may fall, and the buildings all crash down
But in these dreams I see your face and I am found

Dreams Collide

if you wake in the middle of the night,
in the midst of a dream you can't quite grasp,
your eyes clenched,
your heart beat deep,
a shiver overtakes your spine,
breathe in a memory,
grip it grasp it with the depth of a soul,
one lost and alone,
the world has paused,
made time for these two dreams to collide.

I Want to Be Lost

lost somewhere there are fireflies. I want to run away somewhere were I can see every star in the sky. I want to be where the moon is the only streetlight and on a cloudy night you can't see your hand in front of you face. I want to lay on my back in the grass and be able to share a moment when it's ok for no words to be spoken, to have pure un-jaded human contact. All that must be said is said with a touch of two hands completely devoted to each another, each hand refusing to leave the other naked and alone. I need to be naked and bare, vulnerable and broken clinging to the trust in those beautiful hands, knowing they will cover and protect me. Remind me what is to not be angry, and remind me what it is to not be afraid
I will write our love in the sand
Deep and bold, for all the world to see
I sit and wait and watch and wonder
For the sea to come and wash it away

DESTINY

I will carry you through darkness
Lay you down in the light
Watch as my body washes over you
Not one inch of skin
Will my soft lips miss
And not one gentle curve
Not traced by fingertips
I will take all you give
Then taste your sweet breath
As your body becomes mine
You'll know how it should be
Living this love; and creating destiny

Your Air In Mine

And when your air just enters mine... it seems this empire I've built comes crashing down to my feet. Your fingers tracing my outline... lossing everything I create. I don't think either of us can know what you hold when you reach out for my hand. Your world isn't ready to know just how fragile I really am.
I have slept all day
and dreamed all night
this ideal inside my head
it melts everything away

I am sure it's not safe
I know it's not ok
but just for these moments
I'll risk it all

A moment I forget who I am
One moment to forget what I have done
A space between myself and I
Where it is all but chaos

To take that beauty
Hold it high above it all
To worship another
and make life pure

I close my eyes again
Taken back to where I was
Where the world is sweet and perfect
And I am just good enough to love
