don't open your eyes

don't open your eyes.
4/14/09

almost saw his face
his big blue eyes
his warming embrace

open my eyes
cant seem to shake the dream
cant seem to dismiss
missed opportunity

fading in my eyes
burning my heart
cant seem to see
falling apart

still on this earth
i wish he could be
pictures, movies, and
memories just aren't good
enough for me

please open my eyes
let me see.
blocked by the
missed opportunity
in my dream
to have him near me.
keep thinking...
don't open your eyes.

Summer Winter Ashes

Summer Winter Ashes
3/30/09

Reach out your hand
help me understand
summer winter ashes
turn into tiny crystals
of sand

scattered around the world
nothing to hold
my words are loud
my mind is bold

resisting the right way
attracted to the wrong day
not enough words to think
not enough words to write
just not enough words to say

fight for my right
many lives paid
holding this tightly
obsessed with
knowing the right price to pay

Fresh breath of air
filling my lungs
let down my hair
reach for the bright burning sun

soft summer nights
scream for attention
dark winter days
beg for affection
autumn leaves feel
rejection
spring flowers
enjoy their reflection

reach out your hand
and try to understand
why summer winter ashes
turn into sand
and get taken by the breeze
to learn live and love
in another land

memories lifted her mind
thoughts traveled her mouth
her mind never stopped running
when her life hit the solid ground

she results in fighting
for this forsaken country
taught to serve and protect
our right to be free
a special type of person to be

down in the dirt
flying in the sky
bullets are a hit or miss
when they fly by
for what
for us.

she is a fighter
a bestfriend
a wife
a sister
a rolemodel
our solider

memories lifted her mind
thoughts traveled her mouth
her mind never stopped running
when her life hit the solid ground

eyes forward
thoughts set aside
makes wishes on stars
falling in the night

come home soon
feet planted on the ground.
looking at the same moon.
thinking, loving, and always
caring about you

take it away

take it away

breeze hits you lightly
smell rain
feel pain
no one gets left unbroken

rush of wind
clash of thunder
thoughts only thought
left nothing to ponder

head back
eyes shut
mouth open
screaming
rain pounding

on top of the world
or at the bottom of my own
feelings left unknown
so much to learn
someone-else take a turn
feel the burn
fade
into another day
wish it away
take it away.
