Silence is Golden

Silence envelops humanity
Wrapping every glowing inch

Silence is black, cold, and lonely
Harassing my memory of vitality

Silence is cramped, violent, piercing
I suffer a new numbness

Silence is what makes my heart ache
Longing for a familiar face

Silence has accusing questions
Trust has no answers

Silence is
I was

Silence exterminates personality
My bed is made

Silence won’t look in the mirror
But I have a picture of you



~Storm Chaser

Not, Not Yet

So sheltered with lies and scandal
Nonchalance is unacceptable.
Dictatorship still though
The time of freedom has long passed.

Sorrow bows to kindness.
Who can save my soul?
Who will lift me up,
And turn ashes into a dove?

~Storm Chaser

Every time

"Someday I want to fall in love with a man like my daddy. Someone who makes me smile and giggle. someone who twirls me around, someone who knows how to have fun doing the Hokey-Poky." ~The Ever After (p.73)

Every time
Every time I see you
I ask, "Is it him? Can it be him?"
Every time we kiss
I pray, "Please be him! Let it be him!"
Every day that passes by that I don't see you
I cry, "I miss him, I want to be with him."
Every time you look into my eyes
with that smirk on your face
I sing, "He found me! He's the one!"

Almost Lover?

I have nothing to lose
But I'm still so confused
I cry and lie
I smile for a while
But before I sleep
I weep
Is you love a game
Or is my heart just lame?
What is wrong?
I've pondered this for too long...
