It’s the week before finals,
which means: a lot to do in not a lot of time.
Yet, I get a text from my best friend who has been in Kuwait for a year, “America, AMERICA!!!!!!!!”
I can’t tell you how excited I am!!!!!!! Ahhhh!!! We will get 48 hours notice when we can go see her after all of her debreifing.
What a great day!!!!!
I was at the house with some of my friends
when a light flashed over our heads.
It was the multi colored illumination that we are only together for as long as we need to be.
I realized that we may have the times of our lives now
but when we get what we need from each other we drift apart.
But, while trying not to float away I listen to the tunes and just scream.
Seeing the lights of all the phones light up one space so large
it’s the most amazing sight to see.
Dancing like no ones watching and not caring if they do see us
because we are our stars.
We walk along the sidewalk like people know us.
We take each other to a place that we can only see for one night and make the most of it,
because if you don’t it could be gone in a flash.
That’s life.
A light bulb
and when it goes out you only hope you made the most of your life.
But, while you’re shining you don’t care and live like you’re your own star.
Friends are attachments of yourself to make you grow, yet,
right now I don’t care I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs
and live every moment with them.
I should go home
but now I officially don’t care,
I just wanna be me.
The lights are still going and the music’s dying.
Laying on the floor staring into oblivion.
One more moment has come and gone.
Oh well,
my friends are still on the floor with me.
That’s all that matters.
The melodies the leaves cast
From the wind hitting their veins
Is something no one could replicate,
But you.
——–
I’ve tried a million ways to reminisce
What sounds were heard that night
When we said,“I love you more than the leaves love the trees”.
So I play those old 45’s on my record player as the sun rises.

Vinyl spinning ‘round and ‘round
Like a ballerina dancer floating across the sky
In the red spotlight of love.
I can’t help but remember being by your side.
——-
I pledged my love to you
As we cried for the dearest darling
That shot cupids arrow through our hearts
That February night.
——-
Just one more chance
To learn the meaning of love
Because our trial and tribulations are hoping
That we find common ground to build off of these little tree branches.
(Google Images)
So we plant our roots in the fertile ground below us
In a location that no one knows but our hearts.
Praying we get this right
and that we don’t have to fight.
——
Just love.
My big mouth
With 28 little teeth.
—–
I can’t seem to shut up
About the people I care about.
——-
Why is it that I can never learn
To speak only when spoken to?
——-
Damn.
——-
Maybe if I was a little wiser,
Gain a little more education
I would learn to bite my tongue.
——-
Never happens though.
Maybe that’s what makes us human?
——–
We all make mistakes,
But do we ever really learn from them,
Or just keep avoiding them?
——–
I don’t know.
——-
My big mouth
With 28 little teeth.
——-
I can’t seem to shut up
About the people I care about.
——
Why is it that I can never learn
To speak only when spoken to?
——-
Why do I need to say the shit
No one else is willing to say?
——-
Damn.
——-
Whether it’s right or wrong
I always seem to say something
That makes others pissed off.
——-
Is it the truth that scares us?
Maybe that’s why we all love lying?
——-
Maybe it’s that words can have so much weight
They crush the eardrums of the person who is listening?
It makes everyone stop listening.
——–
I don’t know.
——-
My big mouth
With 28 little teeth.
——-
I can’t seem to shut up
About the people I care about.
——–
Why is it that I can never learn
To speak only when spoken to?
——
Why do I need to say the shit
No one else is willing to say?
——-
Damn.
——-
It feels as though I have
Electricity shooting through my veins
And my fingers can’t stop shaking.
——
Maybe this is how I get high?
Saying shit that makes people question their entire being.
——-
I don’t mean to be mean,
Just vent how I feel.
Maybe feelings are neither right, nor wrong, just bullshit?
——-
I don’t know.
——-
My big mouth
With 28 little teeth.
——
I can’t seem to shut up
About the people I care about.
——-
Why is it that I can never learn
To speak only when spoken to?
——
Why do I need to say the shit
No one else is willing to say?
——-
Damn.
——
Maybe this is just an experience
That I should remember to never
Repeat again.
—–
I don’t know.
——
Damn.
Walking along the road with a friend, we lit up the sky and toasted to the world.
Our last parting before a new journey.
We made a pact to always be there.
When we shared a light we knew that we were bonded.
No matter the wind, it will always burn our flame.
We talked of many things, hopes and dreams, countless things, fears and pains-
yet through all the words are flames were burning.
If by chance one went out the other would be there to relight it once more
and to worry worry-
it’s not dark anymore.
We looked at the moon and then to the stars.
Our own little lantern lighting our way
but we still need to shine our own way.
This light will never burn out as long as I have you.
So, when you need to think of me,
just light up the sky
and toast to me.
