An Alien

An alien

Spirit of desire

Sentenced to instability

Shaken awake from sweet dreams

In a place of lies

Cries for her patience

But steps on her pride

She barely saves face

Scrambling for proper needle and thread

To mend her heart again

An alien

In a foreign place

She is desired

But not wanted

She is cared for

But not loved

Her eyes are not the same

They see things that are not there

Jumping over holes of necessity

Into fantasy

With no foundation

Beneath her feet

Not even a book on the shelf

But crushed behind it

Left to collect dust of neglect

Everyone sees her

But she is hidden treasure

Shining gold left to waste away

Horded in a vault

of insensitivity

Destined to leave the earth

Someday

Being the only one to know her worth

For to all others

She is

Beautiful Experience

When I saw him

And I loved him

Didn’t know

But I did

He saw me

And he loved me

He didn’t know it

But he did

And our souls

Found each other

In the midst of

A storm

He found my rain

I felt his thunder

And love

Helped ease the pain

Just as the picture

Looked so blue

Oh, love

Then came you

I keep on writing

All about it

I just hope your love

Is true

I don’t know

About forever

But I do know

This one thing

I’m so happy

With this feeling

I hope you will always be

Loving me

The look in his eyes

Makes me feel

So good

So good inside

I am a star

All by myself

But together

We can fly! We shine so bright!

And I don’t mind

Writing line after line

of this feeling

of this time

I just hope

That now and always

This precious love

Will be mine

I saw him

And I loved him

Didn’t know

But I did

He saw me

And he loved me

He didn’t know it

But he did

And our souls

Found each other

Restoring distant dreams

What a beautiful

Beautiful experience

Me loving him

Him loving me

What a beautiful

Beautiful experience

Me loving him

Him loving me

What a beautiful

Beautiful experience

Me loving him

Him loving me

Other Side of the Window

OTHER SIDE OF THE WINDOW

Sometimes the wind blows me

At times it hurts me

At times it makes me free

Like a kite I want to fly

Like a prisoner, I want to be released

Instead I am tossed to and fro

Ever tried to pass through a closed window?

Foolish little birdie

Trapped on the inside where it is warm

But wanted to get in so bad

Now that you are in

You have found yourself foolishly

trapped behind the glass

The Song in Our Eyes

THE SONG IN OUR EYES

We spoke

Your voice sang to me

I did not realize the thrill

was the thing I feared

Love on its way

without having met

Kismet

I took flight

To separate myself from some energy

Neither of us understood

But on that day

When our eyes finally met

There was a song that played

It was familiar

I did not realize then that you had me

Sparked me

Ignited me

Burned me

So you pursued me

Kismet

You were starving

Your body was hungry

You didn’t know the feast you would have

For where you thought a taste would satisfy

You realized

You tasted the essence of QUEEN

Your desire, your destiny

Your dream

Oh, how it frightened you

Oh, how it terrified me

I fell

I unwittingly casted a spell

Now we are both under

Breathing each other

Inside our broken hearts

Healing

This Little Pen of Mine

This little pen of mine

I’m gonna let it shine!

This little pen of mine

I’m gonna let it shine!

This little pen of mine

I’m gonna let it shine!

Let is write!

So I can shine!

Let it shine!!!
