Two lovers are standing on the shore,
Beautiful this place shall be evermore,
There is a beautiful sunset painted in the sky;
Beautiful palm trees stand so high.
There is a rocky island in the west,
And all the birds have flown to rest,
The beautiful waves are in motion;
The sunset is reflected in the ocean.
This place I hold dear to my heart,
God created such a beautiful work of art,
The sun is sinking behind the sky;
This place is so beautiful I could cry.
The ocean breezes create a symphony,
Beauty is woven in the air so sweetly,
This place in my heart is kept;
I love this beautiful Romantic Sunset.

Above the clouds, way up so high,
Horses made of clouds gallop and rear in the sky,
Is this an optical illusion up there;
Or are they really galloping in the air?
There is a faint half-crescent moon in the sky,
And the sun is sinking--saying goodbye,
It is so beautiful way up in the air;
With those horses made of clouds jumping way up there!
Above the clouds, way up so high,
Horses are galloping and rearing in the sky,
They are so beautiful and mild;
Galloping happily Above The Clouds.

Mother Nature's dreamy eyes watch the waterfalls empty into the ocean,
She watches the waves crashing in motion,
She watches the lacy green palm trees dance on the sandy shore;
This place remains beautiful evermore.
She watches the sunset fade in the west,
While the birds and animals do rest,
She is beautiful and mild;
And she studies the beauty of the clouds.
She helps all living creatures large or small,
Because she is sweeter than anybody short or tall,
She is especially fond of kittens that do play;
She works hard from day to day.
She watches the beauty of God's world,
And she always keeps her word,
She watches the beauty of the skies;
With her beautiful Dreamy Eyes.

Dedicated to my beautiful and sweet mother!!! :) ~~~~<3
I love her so much!! :)
She means the world to me!! :) ~~~<3
Love you, Mom!!! :)
Labor Day still three weekends away,
Why play gravedigger so prematurely?

Do not the long legged teen girls yet parade,
In halter tops and shortest of jeans cutoff?

Bare shoulders, tans, caramel cream, short and
tight,
The dresses and the contents, and your chest too,
right?

True, but the thermometer barely brushes 75,
That evening coolness, not yet a chill, now ever-present.

Soon the acorns in August will appear, but for sure,
I know that summer's end knells loud and clear,

*Because tonight, the ladies wore pantyhose.

echo
pulling petals
off the moon

scrunching judgments
into the waste-bin

exchanged for
a beauteous collage

my floral planet
spins

with a sweeter
forgiveness

There are two different me's
But only one you
They're always in battle
With two different views
One wants what is best
For us me and you
The other is selfish
And our lives he'll undo

Two different me's
Only one you

There are two different me's
But only one you
In a conflict together
Over which one is true
The one does his best
Pulling at our fabrics glue
The other one, Love
Is where he takes his Que

Two different me's
Only one you

If there was only one me
For only one you
I would give you my all
For my all would be you
There is nothing at all
That I wouldn't do
If there was only one me
For only one you

But I'm afraid that, that
Shall never ring true

Two different me's
*Only one you

echo
how
do you waltz me

with your words

even though i

promise not to

dance with you?
i understand that words overflow from the heart.
that is why i'm careful what to reply...
don't you see how fragile we are... ?

Because

Your worth is of no real question
It doesn't matter when the Sun is setting
I don't think I'll ever really learn my lesson
Because what I'm giving is better than what I'm getting
These words, the feelings you brew up in my gut
Can't be weighed out and properly dissected
I'm in a rut, was in a rut, will always be in a rut
I just hope it turns out after all this time I've invested

Because, because, because
When the Sun is rising
Because, because, because
I'll never stop fighting
I've got no choice in the matter
Just promise me you'll never stop whining
Because
I cherish those little whimpers like nothing else

Grieve

I don't know why I grieve today
Why it stabs me with such pain

Is it for my lovely dogs
I miss them all
But for all the joy
Always there's a price to pay

Or for the friends where tragedy
Far too soon stole them away

Or for all the mothers' sons
Who gave their lives
Behind the ****** battle lines

I don't know why I grieve today
