They Just Fall
And in the beginning it was there with us
And it’s there now again
And it giggles winks and stumbles
I escape into you
Flight of fancy hard lessons learned
What is just is just now and before
And we are where we are now
And how long here we differ
As we embrace you begin a brother
And become someone else
As if it might yet happen
your hugs tighten and warm
And then could my intention

Him
At the the moment I arrived
I felt his intensity as I laughed with the women
And he was looking
I felt it
I tryed to look over but his light was too bright
A man sweet rugged good natured and fun
A man so magnetic I could barely stand still
We connected with eyes electric and the smiles we exchanged
and smiles were enough
After the party we continued our pull
So strong I felt weak
And when h...
Starless Night
Stars above, please guide me to see
That there’s something out there, something waiting for me
I look to the skies and I wait for God’s sign
That the path will show up with their light as my guide
Praying for the universe to wake up and see me
Wishing so hard on a star that can’t help me
I look to the stars to help me find a way
now they’re just falling to the ground and even they won’t stay
Drea...
Our Sweet Little Cannibal
The stars were what she liked most about the sky. Until they started to fall.
Crashing to the ground around her
Nearly as hard as her tears
The sky is impossible to look at
Now that he is there
Gruesom and eccentric
But that was the part she liked most of all
He claimed to be heartless
An absolute monster
But from the truth
it couldn't be farther
He accepted her even with the scars
As s...
Stars Falling
The stars were what she liked most about the sky.
Then, they started to fall.
Blinking out of existence in the blackness
and coming to rest on earth
Before sinking into its core.
She tried to catch one,
Feeling its heat against her finger tips before slipping past.
She watched them fall, land then sink.
One after another after another.
The ground became hot.
The air became colder.
And the core o...
Universally Acknowledged
She had many a galaxy locked in her eyes
The spread of the sky in her smile wide
Stars sprinkled as freckles on her cheeks
Comets and planets dancing round her dreams
She was a wild spirit, loose and free
Tangled up in thoughts, you see
Stubbornly stuck in her mind willingly
Untying the knots of her problems by three
Those knots got too tight
And she could not breathe
She pushed them away
Yet th...
Falling Stars 
One night as the stars shimmered high in the sky,
A young girl sat watching, mesmerized.
Completely entranced by the cosmic infinity,
For an the night sky, she found her serenity
But then, a shift, as stars began to fall,
A cosmic dance, a mesmerizing thrall.
What once was fixed, now a fleeting spark,
A descent through the dark, leaving its mark.
She watched in awe, as they streaked through the ...
Choose Your Voice!!!
The sky gave her hope
because day comes after night
Moon smiles and the sun shines
but one day everything changed
Sun became dull
Moon started to fall
Stars were the only hope that she holded on
The stars were what she liked most about the sky, then they started to fall
Darkness entered her vein
told her to spread hate
because she lost the thing that she loved the most
So, she decided to ac...
