Let me kiss your worries away.
I promise, baby,
that everything will be okay.

Let me hug you tight.
It's you and me, babe,
'Til the end, we'll fight.

Let me treasure your heart.
I'll be careful, my dear.
Take care of it, I must.

Let me spend my days with you.
I'll never leave your side, love.
I swear to you, this will remain true.

Sky
There is a place
where thoughts are left for dead
Unseen, unheard
Unwritten, and unsaid
A dark place deep
In the dismal abyss of the head
Where the cold bites sharply
And shadows scream
with voices so high
They cannot be heard
except for above,
only in the sky.
I have a castle there,
I built a palace out of words
And underneath,
below the dungeons filled with traitorous thoughts
Under the bellies of my demons
There is a place
where thoughts are left for dead
Unseen, unheard,
Unwritten, and unsaid.

The next words that I write could go sweet or go sour

They could last for mere minutes or go on for an hour

There's a power I have when I start to create

It can be somewhat awful or truly be great

I try to pick words so a picture they paint

Sometimes there is color and sometimes there ain't

I hope what I write, in the end, makes you feel

Like a diner who's about, to consume a great meal

If you're happy and full when you leave from my table

Then I'll continue to write, as long as I'm able!
This is what happens when I get no sleep!

I look to the sky and imagine I fly

Look at me now I'm two miles high

Above all the clouds the sky is so blue

I'm soaring and gliding and all of it new

I'm looking at trees, way down below

The air is so thin, light headed I go

I'm falling to Earth, still not a care

I'm higher on Earth, as long as you're there
Read it to someone and she said I should try to  write about sad things?

A seed so small, holds so much promise, keeps it's secrets for the sun

In the spring reveals and life renews, when the waters run

Eternal as the seed we are, for God has made it so

The knowledge that's inside of us has no place else to go!

As he opened her door, he noticed a tear rolling down her cheek.  It was all so overwhelming, the happiness to be exact.  As he wiped the tear away with his thumb, she leaned her head into his hand. Running his hands through her hair, never breaking eye contact,  hundreds of thousands of years of instinct took over.  When their lips met the world that they lived in disappeared and they were immediately transported into a new existence.  Where there was two, there was now only one.  They were lost in each other, not knowing where one person started and the other ended.  

It could be argued that no first kiss has ever been as deep or sensual as the second kiss. Their experience was no different.  Easily the second kiss in the car was the kiss they would be thinking about every second that they were apart.

Take control of your life
Take control of your heart
You're never too old to have a fresh start

No one can judge you or make you feel bad
It's your perceptions, you see, that are making you sad

You'll never need drugs, forget happy pills
The thought that you take them just gives me the chills

It's as simple as this, I know what I say
I'll give you my secret how I'm happy each day

It's a decision, you see, it's all up to me
I choose where I look, only happy I see

When bad comes along,
tries pulling me down.
I just smile and laugh as if nothing is wrong.

So live in the now and love all that you see
I'm telling you how just let yesterday be.
