Love

Love...
Hurts
Confuses
Gives you butterflies
Makes you cry
Question
Doubt
Shout
Scream
Make you mean
What does it all mean
Then you deny
Tell little lies
Forgive
"Forget"
Like
Love
Repeat...

Who is that girl...

Who is that girl
Behind those eyes
Eyes that smile
That beckon you
What is her story
Who is that girl
Behind those eyes
Eyes that cry
Does she feel valued
Can she be replaced
Who is that girl
Behind those eyes  
Eyes that look lonely
Does she have a purpose
Is she lost and confused
Who is that girl
Behind those eyes
Eyes that search
Looking for comfort
and intimacy
Somewhere to feel free
Just to be
Reflective
Introspective
Not neglected
Who is that girl
Behind those eyes
Eyes that need
To search within
To find the answer
Because only she knows
Who that girl IS
Behind those eyes...

Sometimes...

Sometimes I cry
When I look at dancers
I wonder why
When I look at dancers
So graceful
Disciplined    
and smooth
I love to watch them move
But I get overwhelmed with tears
When I look at dancers
Is there a need in me
I've forgotten to feed
It's like a part of me wants to be freed
I often cry when I look at dancers
I wonder why
When I look at dancers
Maybe...
In my heart
I
Am
A
Dancer...

That new love...

I miss that new love
The kind that gives you butterflies
Days with only blue skies
No clouds
No rain
No pain
Just excitement
Anticipation
I know...
Romance doesn't last forever
Nor should it
Life happens
Bills need to be paid
Work has to be done
But sometimes
You want to feel butterflies
Just 'cause it's Tuesday
Spontaneity goes a long way
Doesn't have to be everyday
Make me feel alive
Just 'cause it's Tuesday

Summer Daze

Don't have to travel far
The ocean is my backyard  
Splashing waves
Hidden caves
Summer daze
Salty air              
Breeze in my hair
Comfort            
Peace              
Tranquilty
Greet me        
The smell of the sea
Brings childhood memories
back to me  
I feel free
as I dip my toes into the sea  
It humbles me
as I marvel at this beautiful scenery
Heavenly father has created for me
Blessed to be in this place
I call
Home

Authenticity

Authenticity
Means the world to me
Transparency
Can be scary
But necessary
I can not give my all
When you put up a wall
Remember walls
Block
Blessings and lessons
I choose to
Deal
Feel
Heal
Authentically
So if this scares you
Please
Don't
Step to me!

Prisoner of my thoughts

Having one of those days
When I'm all in my head
Doubting my choices
and words that I've said        
No one really cares
No one understands
I'm a prisoner of my own making
My own worst friend
Oh how I wish
it could all just fade away      
Wish I could go back to yesterday
Make a few changes
Loosen up a bit
Stop being so damn serious  
and acting so stiff
Life is for living  
Enjoy it while you can
Take the time to have fun              
forget about your plans
Throw caution to the wind
Indulge in decadence
Like it's not a sin
Live Love Laugh
Tomorrow may never come ...
