You danced
Spinning, arms opened wide
As if to embrace the sunset
A child of sunshine, of innocence
So far removed from me
Such a perfect picture
Of what I could never be
So far above me you danced
Face rapturous in the sunlight
So naive? and beautiful
May the world show no cruelty to you
Not yet, not so soon
May you never understand
The tears that glisten on my face
May every touch be loving hands
May you never feel life's a waste
May your heart be ever tender
Not as mine, cold as stone
May you never be a pretender
May you never feel so alone
That you cannot taste the sunset
That you can't live and breathe and be free
May you never lose life's hunger
May you never be like me

To my little sister... so innocent protected from the cruel world

Hold my Hand       written : 4/23/02

Ten months old,
Tryin to take my first step.
I pull myself up,
But I fall back down.
I try again,
And you hold my hand.

My first day of school,
Im a big kid now.
I try to look brave,
But Im terrified.
You sense my fear,
And you hold my hand.

Wide eyed and grinning,
Im staring at the keys.
You hand them to me,
But you look worried.
I say Ill be fine,
And you hold my hand.

FIVE ELEMENTS AND NATURAL DIASTERS OF LOVE... written : 11/23/03

 

AIR
Love is like the air
That keeps us alive
And though we can't see it
Though we can't touch it
Though we can't taste it
We can feel it
It's there
Love is like the air
That keeps us alive
Inside

WATER
Love is like the water
Of which we are made
The serene stream flowing through our veins
As purifying as spring's gentle rains
Peaceful as an alpine lake's tranquility
Vast and deep as this world's seven seas
Love is like water
The drink of life
That keeps us alive
Inside

FIRE
Love is like fire
The flame in our hearts
The blaze in our souls
Fueling our passion
Our art
Our creativity
Our ardor for life
Love is like fire
The burning desire
That keeps us alive
Inside

EARTH
Love is like the Earth
It is of air
Of water
Of fire
Of earth
It is alive
Born of fire
Of water
Of air
Of earth
It is our womb
Our birth
Our grave
Earth is like love
Love is our life
Life is our earth

NATURAL DISASTERS OF LOVE
I've talked about love being a gentle breeze
I've talked about love being the air you breathe
I've talked about love being the drink you need
I've talked about love being the fire that feeds
Now I've had enough of these sweet fantasies
It's time you hear about the hard realities
I've been telling you love is the answer
But it can cause an eight-point disaster
Love is the storm that blows you apart
The flood washing away your heart
Love is the quake that knocks you down
It's what puts you six feet underground
Love is the smoke burning your eyes
The lightening bolt from your clear blue skies
Love is the source of your distress
The root of your unhappiness
Love is the cause of those tears you cry
It's what makes you want to curl up and die
Without love you can survive
But its torment tells you
You're alive
Inside, inside
It tells you
You're alive
Inside
