When the sun came up,
We were sleeping in,
Sunk inside our blankets,
Sprawled across the bed,
And we were dreaming,
There are moments when,
When I know it and
The world revolves around us,
And we’re keeping it,
Keep it all going,
This delicate balance,
Vulnerable all knowing,
Sing like you think no one’s listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would, kill for this
Sing like you think no one’s listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would, you would…
Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate,
Or loud and out of key,
Sing me anything,
we’re glad for what we’ve got,
Done with what we’ve lost
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us,
Sing like you think no one’s listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would,
Sing like you think no one’s listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would, you would….
Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate,
Or loud and out of key,
Sing me anything.

You speak so highly of your convictions, pressed cheeks against the stained glass. You mimic what you once had. Didn’t your mother teach you it wasn’t polite to bow to your superiors? Keep counting the petals of the sunflower and see if the sun will shine right through. Jesus never relied on you. Start smiling but don’t let your jaw drop to the ceiling.
Teenage Love
We drove all night to find the sun. Confessions of being broken, we ran as fast as we could to get away from the fall. Spring was always our strength. I will keep you safe in my arms tonight if you promise not to slip through the cracks.
The moon fades and the clouds break the sky teasing us with a glimpse of the universe. We closed our eyes and hoped for a better place.
Windows fog from our breaths keeping every moment alive. Tears streamed down our faces as we inhaled the fumes that made us laugh until we fell asleep.

Your words spilled through the gaps of your crooked teeth, lies that clogged me up with temporary relief. I was falling fast and let my heart filled with the crack of your smile; and your left cheek dimple tingled my empty stomach. I wanted to know nothing outside of you. We bared ourselves in intimate moments that made me feel alive again. I was foolishly in love. Never so quick I wanted to change, I was living in misery and I found peace with you. I would have left it all to add more memories as long as I was by your side. I seldom suffered the consequences of giving it all away as you moved on to the next lonely soul you found as you entered new adventures. Your lack of communication stung worst than jelly fishes. I witnessed bees die in front of me. I knew you weren’t right for me but I wanted you at that moment, I needed to hang on to you until I was ready to let go.

The Act of Disloyalty
You lack the purification that once kept me with you. Your touch no longer electrify my soul for I have abandoned it all. You lost me when you had her. Lips pressed against hers as you fantasied about mine, now your ripples are filled with mistrust and dishonesty. As I looked into your eyes I saw your hollowness. You are colder than a glacier, grayer than gravel and shadier than a murderer. My heart will not take the pain and damaged that has been done. I loved you.
Inspired by a story my friend told me.
Fear and Terror
The newscasters couldn’t foresee the terror and fear of a nation. Swept away like an army of ants into the sea. Not even God could have save them from extermination.
Thousands of unheard prayers sunk into the depths of the oceans, forced to be kept in silence and never to be recovered.
Cities proliferated unto the streets to find no refuge. They’re losing faith in their savior as the toll rises.
