cold

that moment when
they betray you
with a greeting

never acknowledging
the pain you shared
with them

leaving you
adrift
abandoned

unknowing

searching for
a path
back to normalcy

in the scenes
in the play
of love

(need)

ode to the one who's lonely and blue and doesn't know what to do about it

no words
can be said

no tears
can be shed

for the one left lonely

no bridge
can see her through

no path
can bring her to

the one she wants to be with

how far
the distance seems

how far
her hopes and dreams

when the cold sets in

how true
can her eyes see

how soon
can her time be

when the sun shines again

(blue)

stars

i know
we're underneath
the same stars

but i'm selfish

i want to be
where you are

breathing the same air

i want to bug you again
love you again
remind you again
and again

that you are worthy
of the happiness

even though
you don't believe
forever

i do 

staying true
is easy

when i think
of you

(know)

monday

if you hate mondays
you'll have to find
another time to dream

doodle your desires
in between the pages
of that long resume

write the sketch of a story
in the corner
of your briefcase

hide your ideas
in the twinkle
of your eyes

don't lose the plans
you capture between
paper and pen

you'll need their direction
when the weekend
comes again

(hope)

ode to a speeding road

flying across the road

to the sea, to the sea

stopping for tater tots

for you, but mostly me

hoping for the sun 

to stay high, to stay high

hoping for time

not to pass us by

build a bridge with me

and i will travel to thee

in mind and soul

forever

(true)

answers

figuring out you
is figuring out me

asking me questions
is opening places
to you

the talk we
make
both aimless
and directed

lead to the place
where we're always
connected

two souls in
search of the sun

finding the one
that's in us

to give to
ourselves again

(learn)

advised

stumbling along
fog around my heart
no place to go
no idea how to start

confusion inside
'til i'm mute with worry
eyes look for the way
'til tears make them blurry

this is the time
i grow up inside
alone without confidence
every step a slide

nothing to blame
but what's left of my soul
to-gether with turbulence
no one in control

(begin)
