You gaze into ocean eyes
that spy;
trying to find the desire that defies;
rises against (what is wise?).
And instead learns to compromise;
let it stir your soul & sensationalize.

*Defy your eyes
for a moment's time
& let them fly through mine;
our rhythmic rhyme*.

Defy.

Defy.

My heart skips inside
at the chance to take yours for a ride
and

my mind doesn't mind
making yours apart of mine.

Is there turmoil to the sea
or
is it only the view from which we see?

Because one person can feel a flood of devotion
while the other is convinced they're only feeling a motion;
if they take a risk, they tempt being drowned by emotion.

Yet,
warm sands sift through open toes
even when water refuses to know,
it knows.

what a sweet, symmetrical congruency
tell me why would your heart ever want truancy?

It was a childish infatuation
that I felt safe in
but where are you now
with your promised then broken statements.

Is it even what you want?:
What your chasin'...

Collision

There isn't enough room in this world for me
my thoughts stretch OuTsIdE the person I can be;
it's like I was born in an alternate reality
and I refuse to see the way they see...

I'm not afraid of falling in love.
I'm afraid of never feeling
what I all ready felt -
what was all ready more than enough.

I wish to convey the thoughts in my head
in a way that makes sense
but with every carefully selected word
comes somebody else's judgment.

How can anyone articulate
their motives, their emotions
when we all look at the same
language of words with different notions?

i dream in the night
cause the days are not long
enough to absorb the sunlight.

i dream in the day
because my imagination
opens and invites me to sway.

The earth spins in a circular motion
you move, but your not movin'.

Suddenly I dance right into a different day

my hoop, it winds me, into a touch that doesn't weigh,
have you ever heard the wind whisper
"This way, this way..."

You can't save the world
but you sure as hell
can start with yourself.
First, learn to love
absent of anybody else.

Appreciate life and smile just as well;
listen to a baby's eyes
& the stories children long to tell.
"Adults are just obsolete children..." -Dr. Seuss
so listen well. listen well.You can't capture change
but you adapt;
learn to make it rain
instead of reign.

When there's no one left to blame
will you finally start rising to fame?

Lose the labels
or else it disables
seeing the whole
of someone's soul.

This life is to live but
not to be played
like it's some game
where all the characters
are grouped by what's the"same".

When people stand on a plateau
and worry about everyone else but their own
they built and they build until they show
they've been creating a personal inferno.
When do they intend to let go?

Listen to your intuition
it's probably telling you everythin'
you've been wishin' would be missin'.

Have you ever stayed up beyond the final hour
where all the creatures give up their power
to just be one within one another?

Your fingers touch me
like the leaves touch the trees.
Urgency. Permanency.
Then you slip from me.
If you stay our dreams
will breathe into tomorrow
but if you go,
I'll watch you grow
as our memories begin to glow;
a feeling we both know we know...

No matter how long the night
actions only live when the thought
is brought to light.

*I just heard the birds start chirping
probably an indication I should go to sleep all ready...
I think I morphed two different poems I had going in my head together into this one...
maybe three actually there at the end.
ill change it when i haven't been awake for more than 24 hours =)

It's relieving to let the expectations go

and love you for the person deep inside

that I once watched grow.

It took all of the effort in the world to finally meet you here
but honesty has finally bred purity after all the waves of tears.

"*THE WAY YOU MOVE AIN'T FAIR*, ya know?"

collaboration with soul sister next?
i think so...

Have you ever heard the innocent sound of laughter

long before the child realizes what this world is after?

If I had a child
I would teach them
the temperature of laughter
and that this life
is not something you can master
but you can try to get better and better.

If I had a child
I would teach them how sunshine
can infiltrate your mind
& make you feel divine.

If i had a daughter,
I'd teach her she's capable of creating
her own happily-ever-afters.
Like if I had a son,
I'd teach him he deserves nothing less than
the one who shows him just how much he matters.

I'd teach them that discovery
comes with their need to breathe.
Any thought can be a vision
any dream, an aspiration;
just keep on,
keep on
wishin'.

Dreams UnWind: LOVE'S A STATE OF MIND.*

If your soul is

uncontrolled,
well, then you'll
never grow old.
You'll never grow old.

Translate;
watch and wait.
My eyes can say
what my words can't
state.

Your touch is timeless
like the way that I rhyme this.
A passion
without distraction;
a single glance
begins a chain reaction.
The moment I met you
I knew
you were matchless.

Even the words
that have been whispered
in your ear
will be the final sounds
you hear.

Only make wishes
so long as you are open
to owning that moment.Every dream has all
ready come true
so long as you believe
like it's the only thing
you ever knew.

If

I can keep it to myself
then
I can keep it to myself.
But what does it matter,
baby?
When you can all ready tell,
you can all ready tell.

*Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac

Collaboration with Matt Nathanson's "Come on Get Higher"

"I miss the sound of your voice

And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in"You keep me wrapped up in abundance
then ask how I could want this.
All this time I thought it was obvious,
it's so obvious.

"If I could walk on water
I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget"Do you find it sublime
or
a waste of your time?
Cause only your body can climb
up my mind and into a rhyme.

"So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire
at the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love"

If it snowed in the summer
your love would still be
the last thing I remember.
Did you feel how
we pulled spring into December?

"I miss the sound of your voice
Loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said"

Oh, how I loved the stars
and the arch of your heart
and the day dreams
that show us who we are
and where to start.

"I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God,
when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

I'm addicted to things
that keep me lifted; and your a simple connection
in my collection
that dazzles me with pain and perfection.

"Sing sha la la la
Sing sha la la la la"

Passion:
Let it evaporate
or
take the state
of the love you taste.

"It's all wrong, it's all wrong
It's all wrong, it's so right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms."

You never know
when you let something go
whether it was real or just a show.Not everyone can rhyme whats inside
in hopes it finds a way to another person's mind.

im addicted to the things that keep me lifted.

<3

It's merely a coincidence

that I'm even listening.

When I've felt such intensity grow within me
I don't deny love the ability to sprout and see.

It's your eyes that I listen to;
subtleties I'm dancin' through.

What's hesitation when you all
ready dance with temptation?
