the answer lies in the dream.

To dream: a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.
To be completely lost in a universe
created and occupied by only you and your
imagination


I dreamt my hand you wished to take
to have and to hold
to call your own
forever

my insides churned
as I looked at your face I knew
no promises I was ready to make


young, and naive
only the innocent age of sixteen
how was I supposed to give you eternity?


I couldn’t conceive the thought of
hurting you
so as you looked up at me with those
pleading eyes, I whispered an answer
now only to find


the answer lies in the
dream...

days of me.

I am:
dancing, barefoot
in the rain, my hair
falling out of place
celebrating the
movement
reverberation
the emotion

unaware and uncaring

of who’s watching

judging

giggling to myself as
I tell the joke completely

wrong

holding my best friend’s hand
as she so peacefully
takes her
last
breath, leaving me

alone in this life

heart racing
pounding
silently as possible tip
toeing, feeling the chill
of the midnight grass

dark sky, illuminating

stars,

first kiss
innocence
butterflies


protective, brave

and strong

aspiring

to be like you

wrapped so securely in

your arms
hold me, as I cried
goodbye
you are changing,
blessing
so many lives

peanut-butter
apples
the feel of linen sheets
fairytells
toes- barefoot
in the mud
the thought of
growing old
chocolate-covered
strawberries, running
through the
sprinklers
butterfly kisses with
my daddy

dreaming of an even better tomorrow

Things I Didn’t Know I Loved

It’s 2011 February 16

The sun is shining brighter

than it has in quite some time

I didn't know I loved the feel

Of the warmth resting on my skin

The windows rolled down

And the music dancing in the air

I didn’t know I loved the English language

And then you spoke to me that way

The words softly slipped off your tongue

And wrapped in your lyrics I dreamed to stay

The sun setting melts away the remains of a broken day

Leaving the despair of the dark night

I didn’t know I loved the hurt and the blackness

Then I saw hope written in bright illuminations

Filling the evening sky

I didn’t know I loved the cold

The snow disabling me to move my aching body

The clear sky sprinkles
Twinkling delicate powder

The first snowfall reminds that magic does exist

I didn’t know I loved so many things

The wonders surrounding

If I take the time to open my eyes

Never cease to AMAZE me
