Melody

My life is a melody a soft and simple rhapsody

A syncopated serenade wrapped with chromatic dissonance

My agilmente berceuse floating through the ledger lines in common 4/4 time

From ab aeterno every heart has kept a tempo

Concertos of their own accord until each beat has diminished

Some beat alla breve, some in caesura, some try to borrow time

A true rubato line.

Kiss Me Goodnight

To the love of my life,

Where ever you are

I've spent a lot of time

Wishing on stars

And praying to God

That where ever you be

You're spending a little time

Thinking of me

But tonight of all nights

Instead of wishing on stars

I've decided to write down in words

All that I will promise to you

I promise to love you with all of my heart

I promise not to text you like crazy when we're apart

I promise to leave you heart shaped stickies

Saying have a good day

And surprise you with kisses when things don't go your way

I promise that when we fight

I won't let you go to sleep mad at night

I promise that when I use glitter

I'll clean it all up and not make a mess with all of my stuff

I promise to order pizza when you have a guys night in

And make little smokies for you and your friends

I promise to always kiss you goodnight

And snuggle up real close and tight

But most of all I promise to you

I'll say I love you in everything I do.

Let's give em something to talk about...

love

everyones favorite subject

so here we go again indulging in the negative

but i think its time i changed my tune

the hour glass broke and the caged bird flew

ive talked until im blue

but its no use

you see i try to put up these walls

build fortresses of distrust and bitterness

hold on to every raw feeling

every hurt every lie every cut

that wouldnt stop bleeding

and then i woke up one morning with the sun shining in my face

soft radiant light

pulling at something i couldnt recognize

because along with all the hate

i forgot about love

zeroing in on pain

i forgot about love

focusing on how to retaliate

to bring men to their knees to feel the earth give under their feet to show them a darkness that sucks out every tiny glimpse of hope

i forgot about love

so its funny to me when people talk about love

romantic love

talk about dogs and hoes and shouldve knowns

but not one twinkle of eyes

or beating of hearts

fingers interlacing like souls entwining

* sigh *

its about those moments

those moments when you forget about everything else

that connection with another person

a bond that cannot be imitated or repeated

not the moment the foundation cracks

the moment the heavens open

allowing all bliss to pour down

showering us with joy and peace unrequitted

After all, isn't that what love is about?
