My Heart for Haiti


I send my love to the dying and in pain.
Now the world finally holds your name.
But, you too, shall pass like a trend.
When photo shoots come to an end.
With new stories for CNN,
Even before your wounds mend.

They call me sunshine.

Sunshine, say your mine...
I will put you in my pocket.

You're perfect, see?
The best to me.

                                   But please don't rise.
                                   It hurts my eyes.
                                   Though I know it's natural for you.

                                   And never set.
                                   At least not yet.
                                   Though you know how I adore you.

You're all I want.
You're all I dream.

                                   But, please dear star.
                                   Don't be so far.

                                   You're never what you seem.
                                  Always being quite unseen.

There could never be 
Another for me.
                                  Though somewhere she's waiting 
                                  Right in the wings.

 Sunshine, Sunshine.
 Say that you're all mine.

                                   Though I know your light.
                                   Is far too bright.
                                   To bring down from the sky.

Give it away, to sit by the bay.
                                   And leave the world in night.

Easter Eggs.

I think that I have realized something today. Felt something I don't think I have ever felt before. No tragedy, though there was sadness. I felt God gently lift my life right out of my hands. Everything thing still intact. Just barely beyond my reach. My future lies in front of me, scrambled like eggs. I try to pick through. But I am not sure what I am even seeing. 

You are right.

It's better off with you...

Sailing Away

I want to storm through you 
With illustrious vigor.

Upturn all the mossy, 
Unturned stones of your world.

Make you feel me completely,
In your bones, your veins, your mouth.

Don't tame me, sailor.
I'm no woman you've known.

I will enter your life like a looming tide,
Intoxicating your shore.

Lapping you up and devouring crumbs of you.
Before we collide.

You may grow weary of my changes.
As I may sometimes slip away.

But you are no stranger to the sea.
Rest in the uncertainty that's me.

His Angry Inch

Don't blame it on me.

bow wow

I could pick you apart. And I will today.
I'm part crazy. We all know your insane.
You lay by the dog house. I don't let you in.
I'm too scared to tell you. That's when it begins.

Dear God

Find me where I am. 

Sincerely,
Lost
