I Am Yours
The frame of an oak tree,
The gentleness of a dove.
I try to forget the tenderness.
The storms I couldn’t see.
Windows hiding thoughts.
A flower missing the rain.
I never knew what to say.
I feel your warm embrace,
Cry as you fade away.
In another time,
- I was yours.

Hey Love
Hey love,
I know you had a day.
A tired exhausting,
Overwhelming kind of day.
I see you trying hard,
With everything you got.
You are enough sweetheart.
The world will love you
For exactly who you are.

I Don’t Understand the State You Are In
I don’t understand you,
The state you are in.
Coveting power
Like the blistering wind.
Endlessly sweeping
Across incredible miles.
Fear trampling,
Stretches of piles.
Leaves crumbling,
Asking you why.
Shoes pushing harder,
Hope longing to die.
I don’t understand
The state you are in.
Harrowing hallows
To the meticulous thin.
Lines breaking lines,
Forests crumbling still.
Why oh why
Don’t you feel the chill,
Of those you
trample and spiral upon.
Kindness, love,
Freedom all gone.
I don’t understand
The state you are in.
The orange, the red,
The perpetual sin.
The fragrant lying,
The fraudulent brawn.
I wish I could stop you
To become queen,
Not pawn.

A Love Letter
Find the beauty you hold inside
Unravel the ugly they left behind
Create a world all your own
Kindness, tenacity, warmth on a thrown
Trust your beliefs, lead the way
Ruminating anger will fade away
Utopia lives on inside of you
Meeting the queens, of our youth
Pushing, pulsing the future into view.

A Forgotten Spell
Why didn’t you say it
Was it scary to tell
The three words, “I love you”
A forgotten spell.
The witch, a broomstick,
That frog with a croak.
A world all your own,
Me a forgotten spoke.
Tricycles wobbling
On uneven sand.
A missing petal.
A forgotten hand.
“I’m here, I see you”
Is all I wished you’d say.
That smile of yours,
Our past in clay.
