She reached out to catch them - the stars
Gently pulling them to herself
Like a mother gathering her lost children
These delicate orbs, rising and fading
She had gazed at their mesmerizing glow
Wishing for too long and wondering if the tears she cast up in the sky had been forgotten
For these constellations spinning in her eyes
These silver night where she’d laid down her love
Had seemed to be th...
The world is burning
But they tell me I’m wrong
As oceans rise
And kingdoms of plastic conquer more land
I am slowly choking
While the world dies
Trapped by my own knowledge
Watching everyone waiting to see who will put out the fire first
While they add more kerosene to the pile
In the very City I love
Things are falling apart
I pass people with beds of concrete
While guns are being used like...
In the heart of the city under neon lights
Our paths crossed igniting endless nights
We danced and we swayed, the sky was our stage
Sweet kisses like fireworks you set on display
Then morning light shone, how day felt so strange
No wishes on stardrops, or you calling my name
But come to the place held secret at heart
For lovers found once here can now never part...
Two eyes gazed back, my eyes
Iridescent in the glass
Is this who I am?
The tears looked like dew drops
Little rainbows arising in the light
I would’ve thought my hair looked different
That I would’ve been closer to the sky
I gazed a little closer
For I didn’t notice at first,
The beauty hidden beneath
Layer by layer, so preciously made
Seen when I smiled just a little bit more
Or let my forehead...
Don’t forget.
The shadows that slip away when the sun shines too brightly
Or those invisible hands reaching out
The ones who hide deep in shelters at night
Or sneak through valleys of the outskirts
The anonymous ones that float on towards oblivion
For each child holding a book
Is wrapped up in their own mind
Unaware of the world they live in
Each parent’s view is set only on their stars
Orbitin...
Do you know how to contain a storm
Rising there within a teacup?
Do you wonder if only you close your eyes
Would it disappear?
If you would force your tears away, tilting your head upright
Or hide in your room at night funneling your pain into a pillow — to soft to truly take it
Would the storm finally stop?
For you hide within the worn pages of books
Reading there in the coffee shop
For this worl...
The waves of green embrace the sun
Lilting on the horizon in a golden glow
While crisp breezes sway to the melody
Soft and quiet.
Peaceful,
Like a dancer caught up in her own world
She twirls.
Pulling me up into her arms
The leaves sway with me
Guiding me across the universe
And then gently back to my roots
Deep within.
Through a thousand colors
I have found myself.
As the tender song of the e...
Beyond a dream you close your eyes
Let go of all those bright loose ties
Just breathe in soft and fall in deep
And say goodnight before your leap
Your tears so soft will turn to rain
A gentle hum that soothes the pain
For sleep’s here darling, no need to worry
It’s almost night, no need to hurry
So lay down low, under mountains and stars
And whisper that nights will always be ours
For to the...
When you dream
Do you dream of me
For as I sleep
Your rosy smile
Drifting through my mind
All I do is close my eyes
close them softly and you’re there
In my coffee cup
Cozy in my shirt
In the clouds I see
The stars up there at night
And so I close my eyes
Whisper by your side
I love you more each time
More than sky and fall
Than the sea and wind
Or the sun and earth
More than mountains to...
