Somewhere Between Skulls and Stars
Inspired by a year of significant loss and change, I've decided to get serious about my biggest passion and start this blog to share my poetry... These words are ME, and for the first time in my life, I'm sharing them with anyone who comes along to read them...

Distance
There's distance between us...
I can't touch you, I can't feel you
But I still love you...
There's obstacles between us...
I can't move them, I can't beat them
But I'd never stop trying...
When I see you, it all reignites
Not that it went away ever but yes it feels right
And I'd never fight it, never tell you to leave
Somehow you have me caught, heart on my sleeve...
I may not see you but boy I still want you
I cannot touch you but believe me I'd die to...
You may not get to see me but see my soul,
Never let go, I will never go...

I Really See You
I don't just love you,
I breathe you,
I feel you,
I AM you...
That's how close I feel,
I really SEE you.
I don't just miss you,
I cry you,
I sleep you,
I AM you...
That's how close I wanna be,
I really SEE you.
I don't just dream you,
I imagine you,
I fantasize you,
I REALize you...
That's how hard my heart works,
That's how I really feel...
I really SEE you.
Like I've never seen anything in my life...
I breathe you,
I feel you,
I AM you...
That's how close I feel,
I really SEE you.
I don't just miss you,
I cry you,
I sleep you,
I AM you...
That's how close I wanna be,
I really SEE you.
I don't just dream you,
I imagine you,
I fantasize you,
I REALize you...
That's how hard my heart works,
That's how I really feel...
I really SEE you.
Like I've never seen anything in my life...

Oh Love
Oh love...
Yes, this is what it feel like
Like everything will be alright
Because you've got my side
My love...
So this is what it's really like
This is truly living life
Because you're by my side
Oh love...
Everything is perfect
The sky shines without the sun's kiss
My heart pounds and I love it
Everything feels so damn right...
So love...
Remember what this feels like
Let's re-live it each and every night
Let's pretend that the world has died
And it's just you and I
I'll love you until I die...
Yes, this is what it feel like
Like everything will be alright
Because you've got my side
My love...
So this is what it's really like
This is truly living life
Because you're by my side
Oh love...
Everything is perfect
The sky shines without the sun's kiss
My heart pounds and I love it
Everything feels so damn right...
So love...
Remember what this feels like
Let's re-live it each and every night
Let's pretend that the world has died
And it's just you and I
I'll love you until I die...

Now Is The Time
Now is the time
To stop and stare
To enjoy for a while
But not go stale
Now is the time
To lighten my heart
To make something big
To be really smart
Now is the time
I have to stand
I have to live
To give this life
All I've got to give
Now is the time
To focus on me
On the things that I want
On who I want to be
Now is the time
To be great
To be strong
To follow my heart
To sing along
To brave my fears
To fight my doubt
To make this life
Something to write about
Ready or not...
Now is the time
To stop and stare
To enjoy for a while
But not go stale
Now is the time
To lighten my heart
To make something big
To be really smart
Now is the time
I have to stand
I have to live
To give this life
All I've got to give
Now is the time
To focus on me
On the things that I want
On who I want to be
Now is the time
To be great
To be strong
To follow my heart
To sing along
To brave my fears
To fight my doubt
To make this life
Something to write about
Ready or not...
Now is the time

Something's Got To Give
When your life is filled with love, no you're not alone
But sometimes it's hard to remember the ways that you have grown
When your life is filled with peace, but you don't feel it inside
Well it's time to take a big step back; stop, look and rewind...
Standing still or taking steps, something's got to give
Feeling like life is flying too fast, time's running out to live
Standing tall or hanging your head, somehow you've got to move
Whether it's to yourself or someone else, what have you got to prove??
When your life is filled with people who care whether you come or go
How can you sit back and not care if you take time to let them know??
When your life is filled with chances, time to get up and roll
Something's got to give in my life, I've got to set my goal...
So here I sit and time won't stop and I won't go but I can't stop
Maybe tomorrow, some time tomorrow, I can get up and move
Because when all is said and done in the end, I only have ME to prove...
But sometimes it's hard to remember the ways that you have grown

If I
If I couldn't have you, there would be nothing to want
Nothing to aim for, no shining stars
If I couldn't have you, there would be no true love
No love to cherish, no love to want
If I didn't know you and I didn't know pain
I would not know anything worth living again
If I didn't know you and I didn't fight the fight
I would not know the difference between alright and right
If I hadn't met you, memorized your face, memorized your hands
What else could I strive for, life would be so bland
If I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
Of missing you and waiting to see you again
But if I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
That ends when I see your face again
Ends when your touch embraces me again
The pain that ends when you promise my heart is in good hands...
Nothing to aim for, no shining stars
If I couldn't have you, there would be no true love
No love to cherish, no love to want
If I didn't know you and I didn't know pain
I would not know anything worth living again
If I didn't know you and I didn't fight the fight
I would not know the difference between alright and right
If I hadn't met you, memorized your face, memorized your hands
What else could I strive for, life would be so bland
If I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
Of missing you and waiting to see you again
But if I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
That ends when I see your face again
Ends when your touch embraces me again
The pain that ends when you promise my heart is in good hands...

You And I
The pain of not having you by my side
Will slowly begin to reside...
As I know that time draws near
To the next time that you are here...
I miss you and I see your face
No matter where I look, in any place...
I cannot help it, I cannot fight
The feeling that no matter what- we are right...
And I cannot give in to doubt
I absolutely cannot go without...
The love you give, the love you bring
You've given me so much of everything...
And I am here and you know that
You don't have to worry, in no time flat...
I'd be at your side if ever you call
I'd give to you, I'd give my all...
So baby know this as you prepare
To sleep tonight, though I am not there...
That I have your heart highly protected
You have my word, my love is invested...
And you and I, we're meant to be
You and I, we're all I see...
You and I are the only thought I keep
As I prepare at night to dream in sleep...
Will slowly begin to reside...
As I know that time draws near
To the next time that you are here...
I miss you and I see your face
No matter where I look, in any place...
I cannot help it, I cannot fight
The feeling that no matter what- we are right...
And I cannot give in to doubt
I absolutely cannot go without...
The love you give, the love you bring
You've given me so much of everything...
And I am here and you know that
You don't have to worry, in no time flat...
I'd be at your side if ever you call
I'd give to you, I'd give my all...
So baby know this as you prepare
To sleep tonight, though I am not there...
That I have your heart highly protected
You have my word, my love is invested...
And you and I, we're meant to be
You and I, we're all I see...
You and I are the only thought I keep
As I prepare at night to dream in sleep...
