Electric

I placed my palm against yours.
hands hugging.
I felt your heart beat
matching the beat of mine
I felt the electricity spread
from my soul to yours

And I knew...

A Glow

I still remember the day that you vanished
from my sight, my life
We shared ourselves
it made me glow inside
But I wasn't enough,
you got what you wanted
Now I glow with the memory of you
and dream of finding another
who will make me glow brighter than you ever did

Paint the World

I want to do great things
to paint the world
with color, joy, and pain

I want to be love and
to fall in love

to take a wand and paint
the sky with bright joyous colors
and dark blue undertones

to mark a page with words
expressing my thoughts
my pain, my life, my love

I want to leave a mark on the world
to make a difference
in a strangers life

I want you all to know
you have left your mark on my heart
and for that I am so very glad

On our wedding day....

"I want mine to to be the only hand you hold
from this day on
I want your eyes to be the only ones to
stare into mine
I want my heart to only beat in rhythm
with yours"

"May the love we share
make the fights shorter
the joy greater
and the beauty of each new day brighter."

"I hope that your lovely face is
the last thing I see and that
your voice that last thing I hear
before I take my last breathe and sleep.
I will love you forever and always."

Haunting

the hot dry wind
caressed my face
as the cyclone in the distance
drew closer to where I stood
I have been wandering
this desert for months
I have seen my life
pass before my eyes
over and over again
I keep analyzing my past mistakes
skipping over the good
because the bad choices
outshine the good ones
the scars of actions and
words of myself and others
haunt me in this wasteland
the joy of happy memories
are standing patiently
at the corner of my mind

Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;

I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"
