Living different realities
each scene is its own
options abound
love can be found
in fact its abundant
in each genre in its own way
living out different courses of the day.
There’s always a fit in each one
but so far its hard to find the balance
where I can laugh, love, think and come
to a point of growth and prosperity.
This year is about growth and prosperity.
A year of truth and discovery.
Where opportunity abounds where great things will be found.
I can say this with the utmost confidence
that we will know more about kindness and patience
as we learn about our own individual preference
and how to incorporate that into the balance.
A year of listening to the inner voice
of knowing the self and singing in rejoice
Of being grateful for where we are
while taking time to look up at the stars.
The light will shine bright in 2009
lessons will be learned to know that I am mine,
over tasty glasses of red wine
slowing down the time.
Happy New Year! Learn to be your very best You!
Take time to learn what you’ve gone through
And always remember what you get is up to you!
I just spoke with my dad.
He has such an intelligent mind
he knows of the love one can find
he is able to see things before rather than behind.
He chooses to do his own thing
never being forced into a ring.
He has a heart of gold
that will never be bought nor sold.
He has a strong moral base
he takes life case by case.
His charm will woo anyone
yet is big enough to roll up his sleeves to things done.
He shines as bright as the noonday’s sun
and will never shy away from fun.
He says he’s proud and has faith in me
to take the opportunities that I can see.
He knows I’ll choose my own path
creating my own special habitat.
He is able to see beyond those around
yet he stays in our hometown
out in the country is where he can always be found.
He told me I’m not lucky, that it’s been determination
that has fueled my ambition.
He said I’ve created everything good
by being the very best that I could.
He says I’m the one who has created my success
by believing in my growth and doing my best.
God I love my father.
He is unlike any other.
A great man indeed
and always there when I need.
I am grateful to be his daughter
and that he’s my friend and my father.
You have to know both heaven and hell
to know what to wish when throwing your penny in the well.
It’s important to be acquainted with both sides
it will definitely help you to make the most of the ride
avoiding the empty holes and knowing when to glide.
I do know now there are just a few in which I can confide
As of late I’ve called them soul sisters, you bet they’re bonafide.
We, together, know whne its safe to no longer hide
You see, when you are of this special clan
you’ll never have to worry – You’ll always have a helping hand
they are the handful that really understand
Amongst us we share our dreams and love freely
we give all we have completely.
We love to dance and just let go
and to witness such is quite a show.
Of women being free to be who they choose
because there’s so much more to win that to lose.
Let’s enjoy and laugh and share great moments
Remember when in Rome, do as the Romans.
We create our own world, full of beauty and honesty
a place that is safe for each of us to be
together we will be ourselves, natural and free!
I’m never good at being alone
I’m soft and pink and not made of stone
I’m very blessed that love is who I am
I’ll show it in my ways – I’ll even hold your hand
I’m not really looking for any major commitment
but I do like to create my own little playland
with the one I choose to be my special man.
I’ll be real good until I’m done
we’ll laugh and kiss, it’ll be super fun
I’ll make you feel like you’re the only one
we’ll be drunk in love like we’ve been sippin’ rum
we’ll share the sheets, we’ll pillow talk some
we’ll sweat hot and heavy and surely we’ll come
I’ll be open and honest – I’ll hold nothing back
I’ll share everything I carry around in my backpack
my admiration, my inspiration, my open embraces
the energy we create will be seen on our faces.
you’ll be my everything, but you must beware
I’ll try my best to handle you with care.
I’m not good at intimate relationships
but I’ll roll the dice and raise the chips.
They say its better to have loved and lost
than to never have loved at all
Please remember this during the inevitable fall.
I’ll still think highly of you as I’m leaving the room
and chances are I’ll continue until I’m in my tomb.
So lets just share our time together while we can
enjoy the moments while we both still stand.
I’d like to think you’ll be better off having experienced this bliss
maybe that’s bold, but it all starts with one sweet kiss
an opportunity that is so hard to resist.
I’ll bask in your affection – You’ll get an erection
we’ll travel down an uncharted path without any direction.
There are days that I think I’m over you
where you enter my mind just a time or two
then all of a sudden I’m hit real blue
I wish I knew what to say but I haven’t a clue.
I miss you – I have since I left two full years ago.
I’m trying my best to catch my own wave at my own flow.
I’ve grown a lot since the days in my youth
you were always so much wiser and could see the truth.
I wasn’t there yet so I pushed us both away
I did stupid things nearly every single day
that didn’t help out in our endeavor
I look back now and can’t believe I ever
acted foolishly like a baboon
with a drink in my hand working the room.
I was so out of touch – no wonder I couldn’t see you
in your honest and gentle ways that only you knew.
I wish I’d have known then what I have learned up to now
I’d like to think we’d still be together folding towels.
It seems silly that I haven’t really moved on
I’ve kept up the charade but I’m not foolin’ a one.
You said we’re like a bad Jack Johnson song
I’m sorry I’ve been so utterly wrong.
I’ve often questioned how to teach someone who just doesn’t know,
I still don’t know the answer other than to take it slow.
You have patience unlike anyone I’ve ever met
and you are still the coolest person I’ve run into yet.
So how do I recover from all of my mistakes?
I’m shedding my masks now leaving no room to hide nor fake.
Would you want to know me as I am today?
Would you care what I think or have to say?
Have you written me off or do you remember me on a rainy day?
I love you still – You are a part of me
it’s because of you that I can finally see.
Love. I looked this up in the dictionary yesterday in a grey moment… I see it is up on my dashboard still… why I ask myself now, why? to find someone else’s version of how they can describe an emotion? silly. How can one accurately describe such a feeling anyway? How can we even assume that it is the same from one person to the next? It isn’t, it is totally and completely individual. What I feel when I think of love is different from situation to situation, let alone if I truly try to compare that to another person’s idea of what it means to them. It is like trying to describe a color. The other person will have their own perception of what that color means… we all see things and feel things in a different way, maybe in the same stream, but never exactly the same. So instead of looking up the dictionary version of an emotion that I hold to be confusing, beautiful and crazy, I am just going to feel it out myself and attach the meanings and value that I put onto it… whatever that fuzziness really is.
I really like your smile
I really like your way
I’ll give you my attention
but I still have to say…
I just want to be friends
to learn and grow together
I just want to be friends
for now and probably forever.
I may push the limits during the day
I may expose too much, but i think its okay
I get real comfortable right off the bat
but it doesn’t mean I want to hit the sack.
I dig your energy
it seems to fuel mine
I’ll give you a touch
but I promise you there’ll be no such…
Well I sure like our time
thank you for sharing it with mine
please see beyond this rhyme
and lets keep being kind
to one another as we walk down the line.
I’d like to keep building
on the blocks we’ve started from
its up to us-
look how far we’ve come.
I just want to be friends
to learn and grow together
I just want to be friends
for now and probably forever.
Do you mind if I lay here?
here in my bed
its a comfortable place
to be in my head.
I promise you can stay a while
we don’t have to talk
just give me a smile.
An unspoken language
that we’ll create on our own
it’ll be fit for me and you
uniquely fashioned in our tone.
We’ll revel in our delights
never worry – we won’t fight
just promise me
we’ll keep on the light.
I’m afraid of the dark
I’m afraid that it’s true
I’ve always been
it makes me blue.
So hang out here next to me
we’ll sprout our roots
just like a tree.
Hold my hand and come in close
I’ve got nothing to hide nor to boast.
We’ll sit in silence – you and me
painting our world that’s totally free.
Her eyes are bright
her love is right
but she still doesn’t know
beauty’s got the best of her
youth is on her side
but secretly she wishes
that she can run and hide
its time for her to be set free
to fly around like a honeybee
shes always sweet in her way
but nows the time for her to say…
oh set me free!
so I can learn what I need
so I can see who I am
’cause I just want to be me
beauty’s got the best of her
youth is in her eye
a heart bursting full of love
all she needs is time
oh set me free!
so I can learn what I need
so I can see who I am
’cause I just want to be me
