Little DreamerIn the corner of the garden is the tree where dreamers meet
So sleep little dreamer sleep...

Let sweet slumber take you little dreamer close your eyes
And I'll meet you in the garden where we'll dance with fireflies
We'll search for fallen stars that have crashed into the sea
We'll outrun the sands of time, little dreamer, you and me
Capturing moonbeams in bottles, sending wishes on the breeze
Lying back in the long grass under the canopy of trees
Watching as night fades away and the sun begins to rise
Now it's time to leave the garden little dreamer open your eyes

In the corner of the garden is the tree where dreamers meet
So slee

Willow A long time ago, in a time much different than our own, lived a young boy by the name of Willow. Willow was, in most ways, your average child of ten. Small in stature, thin, spindly, and all knobby knees and joints. He was of average intelligence in all his classes but he had a knack for farming.

Now when I say, "knack", I really should be saying he had a gift. He could bring even a flower on the brink of death to blooming. Some would say he had a magical touch for every plant he laid his hands upon would flourish. If he were helping the farmers tend to their crops then you could be ensured no

Broken Smiles Shattered HeartsWords can hurt and actions sting
Thoughts shatter your world in two
I'll grab some tape, glue, and string
Let's see what we can do

Let's paste a smile on your face
Let's mend that shattered heart
Hold it all together with a bit of string
Now it shouldn't fall apart

Let's put some faith into your soul
Let's ease that troubled mind
Tomorrow will be a better day
Than the one you'll leave behind

And if your smile begins to fade
Or your heart it begins to unmend
I'll always be here to catch the pieces
I'll be here, for you, my friend

Of Souls and MiraclesPeople see you but they haven't really seen
you yet... they look in your general direction but
don't really see you there. More of, they just catch
the shadow you leave behind. The echo of what is
there. Which is nothing more than a ripple on the
surface; never seeing the treasure that lies mere
inches beneath. Because they are unwilling to wait
they will never see the true miracle you are.

A great loss on their part.

For I have glimpsed your soul and it is beautiful.

Butterfly WingsIt's funny how with just one glance from you and I can't speak
Just one brief touch and suddenly my knees become so weak
All thoughts become unfocused when I look into your eyes
The color of your eyes alone enough to hypnotize
Your hands more gentle than the flutter of butterfly wings
Your laughter far more beautiful than when the bird dare sings
Your voice, itself, is greater than the grandest symphony
I love you not for all of that but because you love me

My Heart In LettersI send all the words that get stuck in my throat
But I'd send you my love if I could
How the pen shakes with every word that I wrote
Words refusing to form as they should

And the ink is smudged black all over the sheet
Where the tears fell all the ink ran
I throw down the notebook, then, in defeat
And soon drop the pen from my hand

I rip out the pages, I tear them, I shred
I'll work on a new note tomorrow
For I can't convey the thoughts in my head
When the pages are drowning in sorrow

Sorrow that's tearing my soul into two
This yearning it rips me apart
Know when I'm sending these letters to you
I'm really just sending my heart

Another Night of ScreamsSlam, smash, broken glass
Another night of screams
Here's another round of hurt
Tonight there'll be no dreams

So now love, close your eyes
So now honey, block your ears
Keep strong now, neutral look
Keep on hiding all your fears

Slam, smash, broken glass
Another night of screams
Here's another round of hurt
Tonight there'll be no dreams

Careful now hun, don't you cry
Keep holding back your tears
Block out all the memories
They were just nightmares

Slam, smash, broken glass
Another night of screams
Here's another round of hurt
Tonight there'll be no dreams

Just ignore the hurtful words
Ignore when shadow nears
You can do

Do You Know Why A Star Falls?Do you know why a star falls?
That is a star that has given up in defeat
A star that could not out sparkle your eyes
A star that knows greater beauty when it sees it

And the sun rises each morning
In a failed attempt to outshine your smile
Out glow the warmth of your generous heart
But rests each night for it's no match to your soul

And gravity is forever unhalting
Because the earth, like me, is selfish
So selfish as to be craving your presence
But earth, alone, never enough to keep you here

But do you know why it rains?
Each droplet is one wish I made for you
One drop for each ache of this longing heart
For every tear shed and

What If?What if you're making me out to be more than I am?
What if you see beauty and perfection where it's not?
What if it's not enough when I've given all I can?
What if my heart is the only thing I've got?

What if I'm not thin and am emotionally scarred?
What if I'm plain and don't dress in the latest style?
What if I need to hide away when the times get hard?
What if I throw up walls, block you out for a while?

What if because you're far you can love me for who I am?
What if when you're here you judge on what you see?
What if I shrug it off like I just don't give a damn?
What if it's not good enough just being me?

What Is Love?   I'm missing a piece of me. A critical part. I suppose I was born much like every other person. I'm just missing one crucial piece. They've forgotten a heart. Where my heart should be is a cavity with nothing inside except a small black stone. Cold and hard.

   Unfeeling.

   Love. What was it about love? It's what everybody had. What everyone wanted. What everyone spent their entire lives searching for. Everyone, that is, except for me. Love was such an alien topic. A concept I could never grasp. A desire I never felt. Not that I ever felt much.

   Stones don't leave you much in

It's A Game, A Dance, A SongIt's a game really, with each of us playing our part
I'll hide, try and find me if you care
You ask the questions and I'll dodge around the answers
Cat and mouse, catch me if you can

It's a dance really, back and forth we will flit about
Never settling in one spot too long
We've danced this dance so many times, know every move
Each step is so carefully placed

It's a song you know, each of us a different note
Each just another chord on the guitar
It's when the notes come together that the magic happens
They're no longer a sound but music

IndefinableDo you know how much I love you?

Picture every beautiful sight in the world.
Every magical place.
Everything amazing about this planet.
Every image that leaves you breathless.
And then picture all of that as being nothing except an empty lot filled with rubbish.
Because it is all rubbish when compared to you.

You may ask how much you mean to me. How much I love you.
But it is impossible to describe in words. Impossible to define.
As impossible as trying to define you with words.
Because no words have yet been created to sum up who you are.
There aren't any words to describe your beauty. Only a million overused metaphors.
Aren't

Someday..."Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you." - Publius Ovidius Naso.

I'm waiting for the day when I can no longer feel the sting of your words. Feel the weight of the heavy hand. The force. The impact. Be able to ignore the feeling of being hollow. Lifeless. Nothing but gaunt looks and blank stares. Not even being able to recognize myself. Becoming the stranger.

I'm waiting for the day when the aches and pains dissipate. No more nights where the weight of the day lingers in the air. Crushing me. Suffocating. Sleepless nights because my mind is going... going... going. Thoughts pushing

The Dance Of The MothFew have ever witnessed the dancing of the moth
When he flits across the ceiling in the night
A most magical scene as he dances back and forth
And he's never lacking elegance in flight

As he swoops and twirls to a song all his own
A song, of which, us humans will never hear
And at first glance he appears to dance alone
A closer look reveals that something's there

Once he had a partner he loved with all his heart
And when she passed she left a piece behind
For their souls could not bear to ever have to part
So she left her shadow there for him to find

For this serenade's designed not for one but two
It's a tribute for the lovers o

Here Comes The StormWhy is it that it comes to this?
That I have to choose between?
That I will hurt someone I love?
It's because I don't deserve either
They deserve more than this world has to offer
More than this broken person can give
I will hurt, I will disappoint, I will let down
And what happens from here?
In the end will I lose one or both?
I am in turmoil with my heart and soul
I need both to live
Because what is life without one or the other?
It's not a life worth living
So where do I go from here?
Is it best to let my heart and soul free?
Free to move on to someone more deserving
Someone who will know how to show them only happiness

Barefoot

   Today I ran barefoot. It's the only way to run. You don't know freedom until you've run without shoes. Without soles weighing you down. Or laces tying you back. Run without inhibitions.

   Today I ran down hills and across busy streets. Feet pounding against hot asphalt. Running through cool, damp, grass. Balancing on curbs. And jogging along walls .

   Today I ran down crowded sidewalks, shoes in hand, not returning glances. Silent questions hang heavy in the air. They watch me as I make my way down the street. I zig-zag past trash bins and over recycle bins. The hurdles of city life.

   Today I cut across lawns. Made my way through parking lots. Past schools, silent, empty for the summer. Ran past yards with inflatable pools and grills waiting to be lit. Through hopscotches drawn in chalk. Pink dust clinging to my feet.

   Today I ran barefoot. Ignoring snide remarks and odd stares. I just ran. Leaving everything...pain, sadness, fear... far behind. With nothing to slow me down. Nothing to hold me back. No boundaries. Today I ran barefoot and for those moments I flew free.
