She Smiles

Standard

She smiles
But there is an edge in her eyes
And you wonder why
As you pass her by.

She laughs out loud
But there’s a sadness in the sound
And you wonder why
As you pass her by.

Her life has never been
Quite as it seems
To the naked eye
Of a passerby.

There are mysteries
In her heart
And sorrows in her soul
That’s she’s never shared,
That nobody knows.

Breathless

Standard

Breathless.
I want you so close (us so close)
So deep within (each other)
We cannot take a breath (I cannot breathe).
So intertwined,
The air cannot move between our bodies (our souls).
I wish for your fingers to be tangled in my hair.
Our lips pleading,
Dripping wet and bruised from love (our love).
I long to make you feel so weak
You cannot stir
(we are unable to move)
Your soul (my soul) will only weep for more.

Only your heart (my heart) will whisper my

Name (your name)

As we are

Breathless.

Let It Out

Standard

The struggle in your the heart
The battle in your the mind.
To let it all out
Or keep it Inside.

Afraid that those you love might
Walk away.
Afraid of those you trust,
Of what they might
Say.

But all you have inside,
Is too beautiful not to share.
There are many who feel the same

Way,
There are many who truly care.

To see the the colors you
Paint.
To hear the music of your heart.
To feel the treasures you create.
To be touched by the rhyme
And verse of your soul.

The whole of you.
The beauty dancing inside.

Momma’s Violin

Standard

Momma would pick up the violin

When her heart was breaking.

And the strings she would play

Until her fingers,

They were aching.

And her tears

Made the melody

Flow from her soul.

Even though I was young,

I felt it in my blood.

The love and the hate.

The longing and yearning

As it echoed from impossible

Depths.

Each note

Bleeding

Out

From the

Fissures

Of her

Heart.

In Your Eyes

Standard

Sit a moment
And lay your burden down.
Listen.
Look.
Breathe.
See the details.
The small things.
You do not need to search for

Beauty.

You do not need to search for

Peace.

The peace is in you.
You carry it in your soul,
In your heart.
Beauty is in your eyes.
Only you can see as you choose.
When you choose peace and beauty,
Then
There it is.

Cannot Be Me

Standard

You say sweet things

And you compliment me.

But.

You must be mistaken,

You must misunderstand.

It cannot be me you are directing

Your smile at.

It cannot be me you aim

Your kindness at.

The truth is

I cannot handle a

Compliment.

It goes into my brain,

Clanks around in the walls of my heart

And by the time it comes out the other side

I have completely torn it apart.
