White weather falling
To glisten below
The sunlight reflecting
Crystalline rainbows

Tears flow softly
To freeze in an instant
Chilling my mind
Past so many walls, resistant

Sorrow hidden  
Carefully behind my smile
Not many have noticed
The pain in my eyes

White weather falling
To glisten below
But I'm all alone
In the beautiful December snow

My words will flow
Like the waves or a breeze
To touch every heart
I hope to put at ease

Though my breath is gone
And my body still
My voice is strong
Still here to help if it will

Perhaps a smile or laugh
Is all you remember
Perhaps thats all you need
To my love remember

My life will live
Through those hearts still here
My love will flourish
Through those hearts not tears
Written for my Great Uncle at his visitation. Some times I sill think I can hear his laugh

What happens if I meet your eyes?
Those dark brown eyes
I secretly love.

What happens if you meet my eyes?
My hazel eyes
That secretly long for you.

I'm afraid you will see,
See the dreams,
The wishes,
I wish when I see you.

What happens if you hold my gaze?
Will you see all the broken dreams?
The dreams shattered,
Shattered when I saw her.

What happens when you see my eyes?
My hazel eyes
That just want to see you.

I live behind a white picket fence
In the world of a wealthy child
I have everything I could want
Except the chance, or choice, to be wild
I live in a perfect brick house
With cobblestone drive and manicured lawn
I live in the perfect world
But I dream of what is beyond
My perfect white picket fence

Tell me you love me
Take me by the hand
Whisper sweet nothings
Tell me stories of far off lands

Write me a story
It can exciting or put me to sleep
It can be awful or a beautiful creation
But write it just for me

Tell me good morning
With a smile or "my angel"
Start my day with a little laughter
Tell me I'm beautiful

Draw me a picture
Of anything or everything
In stick figures or perfectionism
But draw it just for me

Protect me from harm
From people and broken hearts
Fight for my love everyday
Like you fought from the start

Tell me you love me
Till I know it must be true
Make me feel special
And I'll fight for you too

Like a life that is searching for that echo of lost love,
Your single soul is searching for truth in a hell of lies.
Too long have you waited, simply keeping silent,
Waiting to leave the dark that sings only shadowed songs.
Unlike dreamers that only dream of the dark called death,
Your single heart is dreaming of finding a breath of beauty.

A photograph of a memory, your only memory of beauty,
Reminds you always of the joy and pain of love.
Reminds you always how a breaking heart feels like death.
Reminds you always of how many times you believed his lies.
That photograph of your memory, reminiscent of all those country songs,
Is the reason your heart is still and your voice, silent.

But something inside is yelling, telling you not to stay silent.
It knows your pleas to find a way to believe in beauty.
Listen, it says, life sings the most discordant yet harmonic songs.
Listen to the symphonies in nature and fall in love.
Fall in love with waterfalls and the winds, not the one who lies.
Listen for the laughs of lives that have defied death.

For too many days you have seen only the black of death,
For too many months your world has been silent,
For too many years all you had been told were lies.
But it only takes a blink of the eye to see the light of beauty.
It only takes a moment to fall into the rhapsody of love
You only have to take a chance to be the melody of love's radiant songs.

Then again.. who are you but the sharp note that belongs only in forgotten songs?
Who are you but the smallest breath just waiting for death?
Who are you but the thorn on a rose given in love?
Who are you but the echo of a whisper, almost silent?
Who are you but the nightmare that breaks a dream's beauty?
And who are you to believe you are these lies?

You are a single soul searching to find truth in this hell of lies,
A soul fighting to leave darkness that sings shadowed songs.
You are a single heart dreaming of that light called beauty,
A heart refusing to dream of that dark called death.
You are a beautiful voice that won't be kept silent,
A voice singing with a soul that knows there is love.

You know there is more love than lies.
You can hear those once silent songs.
You know you can fight against the death of Beauty.

He smiled
That was all I remember from that day
That's all that mattered.
His hair feathered,
His eyes deep,
His body... sigh...
Incredible.
He might seem like everybody else
But there is something different about him
He has a gasp personality?
What an amazing thing.
Not something found in highschool anymore

But all that I really love
Is that smile
It takes my breath away
Takes my words away
(Annoyingly)
Its a real smile.
And its perfect

All I could ask for
Is that he would smile,
Just once,
For me.
Only me.
