Goodnight, Lover.

I've always had you and

You've always had me

But only in spirit, it's true

We'd talk for hours and

We'd pray for power but

Powers that be always come through

It was always too far or

The timing was bad but

Can we let go of whatever we had?

Goodnight, lover

It's been too long for us

We can't work it out this time

The time and the distance force us to resistance

So goodnight and goodbye

We came into contact

By way of happenstance

We both realized

We'd been given a chance

We kept the lines open

Talked from time to time

But it must have not been what fate had in mind

Goodnight, lover

It's been too long for us

We can't work it out this time

The time and the distance

Force us to resistance

So goodnight and goodbye

Purple Eyeshadow.

I feel beautiful. I feel sexy. Not because some man told me I was, and not because I suddenly measure up to the girls in the magazines. I feel beautiful because I have on a lacy skirt and a flirty blouse and I'm wearing eyeshadow. Purple eyeshadow. Everyone says people with brown eyes are supposed to wear purple, but I decided to shake it up. I think purple looks good with my blue eyes. They say blue-eyed people should wear brown, but brown is not for me. I'm not a brown person. Brown people are quiet; they sit in corners and read books. Brown people don't think about feeling sexy. Purple people dream and live and experience. They're not afraid to step out on the dance floor or sing karaoke. And then there are blue people. Blue people often appear to be brown people, but this is a false reading. They are dormant purple people. All day long they sit and watch life pass them by until the evening brings them to life. Suddenly they're dancing on tables because the ground is just too low. I am a blue person. I want to be a purple person, to live and love the way they do, but I am content with the life I've been dealt - because now it's night, and I am wearing my purple eyeshadow.

I Am Yours.

I cried my tears to you, knowing somehow there was a lesson to be learned.
You looked at me with love and saved those tears.
Time passed, and I continued to cry,
But still you stayed faithfully, carrying each drop with a purpose.
I asked you why it must be this way, but you would not reveal your purpose.
Finally the time came where I didn't need to cry anymore.
I wondered what became of my tears.
On that day you held me as your child
And baptized me in them.
You turned my sadness into my joy,
For you are joy, you are love,
You are trust, you are beauty,
And I am yours.

That Was Then, This Is Now.

The city streets were never lit so bright
As how they were on our first night
The beach in town will never seem
As calm as it was for you and me
And I will never be the same
Since the moment that you came
I pray every night that you remember when
Now and then I wonder where the innocence has been
My heart has grown weary from the pain and the scars
But you'll always be a part of me, and I'll be a part of who you are

Beauty.

Beauty creeps out the window

Wearing nothing but taut, bare skin

Leaving a trail of wrinkles behind her.

Happiness.

Happiness enters the room

Wearing nothing but a smile

Leaving sadness far behind her.
