Like Beautiful Sun Rays

And then I begin to smile,
Because it's honestly all I can do.
With you, I feel so alive.
Love comes out from behind the skies,
And it strengthens me,
Like beautiful sun rays
Reaching down from the Heavens above.
My sweetheart, you give me the purest love,
And it makes me whole.
Love like this is one I'll always hold
Close to my heart and never far away,
Because a smile like mine is one
That is worthwhile, because I smile it
Every day.

Similes of Love

It's near the end of December
And yet our love blooms like in the Spring.
Babe, when we're together
Butterflies flutter and lovebirds sing.
I'm taken by your gentle touch
And the way you sweep me off my feet.
Everything you are and everything you do
Is so tender and sweet.
But love, I'm as fragile as glass
Laying out in the middle of a highway.
I'm as weak as a light weight
Bearing beneath rushing tidal waves.
But love, you carry me back
From ocean deep and you
Breath air back into my lungs.
My heart is so strung on your love,
So willing and so eager, so strong.
You take me back to where I belong,
The place that you dedicate a song
To me, singing, I love you "just the way you are,"
Everything you are and for who you are.
But love, who you are is my everything.
And I love you just the way you are.

Warfare

Shots fired
Russia neglects my arms
I landed down from the helicopter
Breath in, “ take cover, ” breath out
Point, aim, trigger
Fire.
Headshot. 
No regret.
I’  m crawling on the ground
Moving towards my death
Silence …
Tank shot, target killed
I’  m a Marine
Point blank range
My body’  s stilled
Point, aim, trigger
My sniper fires …
Beep, beep, beep
… Rib shot, headshot
Dead.
BOOM.
Damn grenade.
Back to checkpoint.

Honestly My One and Only

Faking a smile
Because it's all
That you can do.
Without you,
There's no one else
I have to talk to.

On Those Gray Sky Days

If the love is there,
Don't mess with it.
Let be what is meant to be.

But if my heart has to go through
Life with only half of itself,
Then so be it.
Because the only heart that could
Ever fill that place is yours.

Nothing else more.
It's honestly simple.
I'm a girl who has grown
In love with you.
Nothing else more,
It's honest and simple.

December 12, 2011

Let's Chase the Sky

Cherish time.
Boy, it's all that we have.
We may be young but
Our love is purely strong.
I know what we have is true,
Because I see a love in you
That is separate from others.
I never want another.
You have what I want.
Sorry if I come on too strong.
But I'm just a girl.
You make up my whole world.
You've slowly reeled me in,
Closer and tighter.
Every time I'm with you,
Boy, I fly higher.
I'm a skyscraper and I like the view.
There's no one else I'd rather be with
Than you.

Let's cherish time together.
Let's make this last forever.

I'm Just That Girl

I'm know, I'm just a stupid girl.
A girl with a stupid heart,
A girl with uncontrollable feelings,
A girl with stupid emotions,
A girl with uncontrollable love.
Yeah, I know, I'm just a stupid girl.

A stupid girl who loves you more than
Anything.
A stupid girl who considers you her
Everything.
I'm just a girl,
And sometimes I can't help it.
Sometimes it's just those times that
I can't help it.
I want to be the sweetest girl,
I want to be the best girl,
I want to be your girl
And only yours.

But for now, I'm just a stupid girl.
One with uncontrollable love
For you.

Shines Like a Bright Gem

He makes my world a bright gem.
Everything shines because of him.
He takes care of me,
And loves me because he wants to.
He says, "I care the most for you."

He says the sweetest words to my heart.
I tell him, please don't ever let us part.
Because the day we part is
The day my world rusts.
My bright gem begins to wear away
Into the dust.

I say, I won't ever let that day happen.
Because you mean the world to me
And I know I could never fall in love again.
I'm so certain
Our love is our love,
It's only meant for us to hold.

Our love is our love,
It's only meant to be strong and bold.

Here's to Growing Up

I've been laying down and
Wasting time.
Although there's only been
One thing on my mind.
The thoughts of you.
For the past 15 hours of
My life,
They've only been of you.
Because you've even been
In my midnight dreams.

Even though tomorrow is
A new day and a new age,
I feel as if all I wanna do
Is be with you.
My heart hurt so bad,
My eyes felt so sad.
I was was so lonely without you.

But here's to another day,
Here's to a brand new day.
Happy birthday to me.

November 25, 2011

Remember I Promised

I don't just love you the same,
I love you more.
I don't just see you the same,
I see you as my everything.

Your wish will be my gift,
And your need will be your surprise.
I promise to do everything I can
To make you happiest
Even when time isn't on your side.

I'll be on your side,
Through everything and through anything.
I'll love you, I promise,
Even if you didn't love me.
Remember I promised to be the best to you,
To be your sweet Kitty.

Although you may not kiss me the same,
But anyways it's okay,
Because remember I promised to
Love you con todo mi corason,
I promised to be your everything.

Clock Racing, Hearts Pacing

But until the end of our time,
I'll be yours and you'll be
Mine.

Holding hands together,
Forever.

But never wasting time
Because every moment
Spent is prized.
Leaving you behind
Is nothing to decide
On.
With my head on your shoulder,
Sitting right in front of our future,
I'll still be yours until the end of time.
No matter what,
I'll be yours and you'll be
Mine.

Holding hands together,
Forever.

Love Is True Art

Love is a true art. 

It brings forth ideas in a new perspective.

It could show someone who they truly are.

Love gives meaning to two peoples' hearts.

With love, everything is true art.

Art, it has a meaning,

It has feeling,

The way it was drawn, sketched, painted.

It has a purpose.

Like love, it has a purpose. 

To bring forth eyes to a new perspective.

To show that special someone you never

Want to let them go. 

Engrave your heart next to theirs,

Give them all your love,

Show them you care.

Love.

Beauty and the Beast

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Take your lies out my eyes.
I have beauty, I'm not disguised.
I'm fully true to my prize.
My cries weren't worth your glass,
Because everything I was
Is now in my past.
I'm not going to believe in your image again.
I'm gonna be a strong girl,
Stronger than I've ever been.

You are my reflection,
But in the end
I am the person.
Beauty doesn't reflect.

November 9, 2011

Reflection, I Am Beautiful

Girl are girls, we care about ourselves.

But why do we care so much

About what we see in the mirror?

Look past the looking glass.

Is it too much to peer at your own reflection?

Mirrors cannot determine who you are.

It cannot determine what you will become.

Your natural beauty comes from

What you bring to the world,

Not by your appearance.

Acceptance is key to true beauty.

As a girl, I’ve dealt with most

Everyone’s common thoughts:

Am I pretty enough?

Do these clothes measure up?

Am I worthy enough to be loved one day?

These doubts are common in a girls' mind.

To them, nothing about themselves

Could ever be sublime. 

Mutually, I have my self-doubts.

But I’ve found it to be like

A stream filled with people

Trying to wash away images of

Magazine models and their

So-called perfect bodies.

Soon, we begin to feel like

The dirt in our eyes

Won’t ever let us see again.

We may feel we are inferior to what they have

And begin to want to find our special something and 

Blend in.

So I would attempt to amplify myself.

I’d set out on pursuit for the better look,

The better make-up only

So I could cover up my undesired blemishes.

“’'Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Wipe the tears from my eyes, show me beauty, not disguise'…”

But soon, we'll realize there is no inferiority.

And that we don't need to try to find different ways

To make ourselves someone that we're not.

Girls would break their skin,

Change their minds,

Walk in heels to make their self seem big.

But beauty doesn't lie on the outside,

Everything beautiful begins on the inside.

"...'Mirror, mirror on the wall, why won't you speak to me at all? I try to find the clothes that fit right, but no one says a word 'til night, when darkness rises into light'..."

I believe everyone has their own

Personal beauties that are

All unique in different ways.

We shouldn’t have to commit

To observing others’ rituals

To create our own.

The importance of your

Own personality is what

Sets the blaze for you in your life.

The messages we get shouldn’t

Affect the way we live our life.

Words are only words.

They cannot hurt us

Unless we absorb them in.

We can’t let this culture tell us we’re

Supposed to look a certain way

And let that identify us.

But as humans,

We preen ourselves

And beautify the surfaces of our skin.

But it doesn’t mean that's what

It's all about.

Your heart is yours to discover.

“…'Please, show me some insight. Tell me that what you see is perfect. Mirror, tell me my shoes are perfect. Mirror, tell me my hair is just right. Mirror, I'm waiting and waiting. I'm searching but I cannot find. All I see are models swarming through my mind'..."

I began to share my mirror with several people,

Different me’s.

Each time I’d look,

It was a different person.

I’d wonder which one I was.

But we can’t hope to be a one-size-fits-all.

There is no one more noteworthy than yourself.

You have to love yourself,

Nurture yourself.

Allow your heart to be a mother

And let your body be her child.

We are our own person,

We are out here in the natural world

Where we don’t have our own

Personal hair dressers

And stylists and yet,

We are all still beautiful in our own personal way.

Beauty has nothing to do with image.

It’s simply your attitude,

Your peacefulness within yourself

That holds your true treasure.

"...'I realized my wrong. Beauty cannot be in any other place besides my heart. It's not superficial, it's not others' looks. It's my looks. 'Perfect' can't be accomplish'..." 

Audrey Hepburn once said,

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;
For beautiful lips, speak only works of kindness;
And for poise, walk with the knowledge that
You are never alone."

Girls, we are beautiful.

Encourage one another.

Speak kindness to each other.

Look at yourself from a newer,

More insightful perspective.

Penetrate past the looks,

Because it is what’s inside you

That truly forms a beautiful being.

"...'Finally, I took up the courage to look in my mirror, to actually look at my herself. I found the strength to love myself, I found the strength to say that I have faith in myself. I look at my reflection and I say, 'I am beautiful'."

It's That Time Once Again

It's special.

This time of the year is

Special.

Everyone anticipates Christmas time.

But not all live to see its lights.

Not all appreciate its insights.

The colors,

The music,

The love,

The people around.

The young and the old,

They've celebrated it since

They were given the chance to hold---

Life.

It's special to each person,

To everyone.

Christmas,

It's that time of the year again.

You are blessed by God's hand.

Nothing could ever be this special.

This time of the year is made for you.

Christmas time is near again,

Be thankful and grateful, because each one is new.

God bless,

Merry Christmas.

Flawless

As we lay down beside eachother
Together under the moonlit night,
Among us is breeze of love
Glazing through this sweetened sight
Of eachother's eyes as our heads
Turn to face one another,
With a smile everything is just right.
And with you by my side,
With your hand in mine,
I know that everything is sublime.
Perfect and flawless,
I see our hearts flourish.
Flame, flare, radiate,
Illuminate.
Your smile is all I'll ever dream of.
Your face is all I'll ever want,
Because with you in my life
There won't ever be a day of bitter strife.

This love is ours, it's just right.

L'amour de Paris

I smell the champagne, the smell of sweet bread.
Feeling the European breeze fall beneath the trees.
We're out on the streets,
Looking for a fancy place to eat.
Our American tastes buds ready for Paris sweets.
We buy a pastry, delicately swallowing it whole.
We then would wish we savored even its soul.
But I take his hand and we're off to see a
World famous tower.
The Eiffel Tower that is, and its feature of great power.
It stands tall, it holds its weight firmly, straight into the air.
Rooted deep and steadfast, it breaks away our focus
As we just linger and stare up at this massive tower.
Our hair flows and gathers again and again.
But this European breeze doesn't cease our bewildered faces.
Here we are in a new place.
Standing with our hands clutched because of
The cold wind and the feeling of being together in this moment
Standing before his highness with integrity.
Paris, France, a time to have our slow dance,
And place to conjure sweet romance and have a glass of wine.
Knowing that time after time, we're still here together.
Holding similar strength, having strong integrity,
And keeping sweet love like the Eiffel Tower.
When this day happens, we know the love we share
Is permanently ours.

November 1, 2011

Love, I Can Bear It

You're everything.

Everything I could ever ask for.

You're like an unexpected present

Resting at the front of my door.

You're the infinite sands that 

Decorate the bottom of the ocean floor.

Como la flor,

You're the only boy that allures me.

You captivate my heart,

You weaken my knees.

Every hour of every day

You fulfill my needs with great appease.

You're everything. 

Everything I could ever ask for.

You're half of my heart

And I'm half of yours.

I'll love you til the day my soul soars.

The Kitten Who Loves

Here is the reason
Why I set my sights on you:
You loved me in a way
That I was blind to.
Your touches are sweet
And your smile is kind.
The way that you hug me
And say that "you're mine"
Is as heartwarming as
A kitten's nose.
Because anywhere your heart is,
That's the way my heart will go.

Kitten's never leave
The one who loves them most.

A World That Rests On Ignorance

The world is changing
Right before our eyes.
I see the change, the message, the cries.
Being burned alive by our own destruction,
The time is coming where the Earth
Will become nothing.
Reconstructed by the palm of His hand.
Holding the day of judgment in this very land.
This world He created will no longer stand tall.
All seven continents to drowned and fall.
Fires, tornadoes, hurricanes and storms,
Death, violence, ignorance and war.
Examples that the time is coming
Where our world will become nothing
But new.
He's coming back and our judgment day is soon.
Matthew 24.

October 25, 2011

Honey

Spoken with love,
A ballad from above,
That speaks true words
Is all I'd ever ask of
The boy who holds my hand,
With no hesitation and
No doubt that I'm the only one.
The words that he gives
To my heart insists
That everything love was made for
Is mine and his.
He gives me a kiss
On the nose then lips,
He looks into my eyes
Wandering deep in
To the heart that rests behind
Eyes that loves him with
An unconditional flame.

Then the words that he gives
To my heart insists
That,
"Everything love was made for
Is ours. You're my princess, and
I'll be your strong tower."

The Masquerade Ball

It will be a night to remember.

Together downtown, taking pictures.

Listening to the sound of my heels,

Forgetting about everything besides the feeling

Of us being together.

Dressed nice, shined shoes,

Black dress and sun-caressed skin

On this October afternoon.

Knowing full and well that 

Our evening is coming soon.

It will be a night to remember.

Together at our school, waiting 

For the perfect song.

Laughing, joking around with eachother,

Drinking and eating anything on the tables.

Suddenly forgetting the people around us

When the mood changes.

Our eyes will meet,

My feet will feel weak,
As he grabs hold of my hand and says,

"Will you dance with me?"

October 21, 2011

Loveology

My heart's a flower.
It only opens up to you.
No matter what,
It only gives in to you.
Your scent awakens me,
It brings open my eyes.
My heart's an enchanted flower.
My love for you can no longer
Be in disguise.
The day you held me,
That day when you
Picked me out the ground,
I came up so high,
Felt as if I'd never come down.
My heart's a flower.
Please don't pick my petals
Cuz then I could be gone.
But for now, I'm half.
And together with you I'm one.

73010 Miles

I love to find my way to his heart.
It's no maze, but that's where it starts.
First a hug,
Then a kiss,
Then soon, everything
Will be mine and his.
His love will be mine,
And my love will never fall from him,
Because we are life,
He's my greatest bestfriend.
He knows when I'm down,
And he knows when I'm up.
He understands my heart,
That's why I'm so in love.

His heart's no maze
Yet I'm always caught within
His smile, and
No matter how far away we are,
I'm always willing to go past 73010 miles.

October 15, 2011

He's My Bestfriend

He's the bestfriend I'd never want to lose.
He's my soulmate, the one who could fill my shoes.
The way he loves me is like a million butterflies.
They scatter all in different ways, but at night,
They settle in one place, and a smile brightens my eyes.
When he hugs me, it feels as if he would never let go.
When he kisses me, it feels as though they'll never get old.
Dreams have awakened and have become my reality,
Because he's the heart that rests within me,
He's my soulmate, the bestfriend I always want to love
So lovingly.

Potion Number Zero

Sometimes I'm all alone in a vacant room,

Stirring nothing new but an old brew.

Finding portions to key ingredients,

To create something to have some kind of

Allegiance. 

At the end of the day,

I tend to have to start all over again.

Finding nothing except a part to an

Old end. 

I'm a witch, waiting for that special

Rendezvous. 

But here I am, stirring this same old brew

Like a fool.

At the end of the day,

All I am is a witch wanting to find

A potion to bring back youth again.

But the ingredients were never found,

The potion never brewed abound.

So there I go, flying through the night

Back to lonely rooms lacking longing abundance,

And you realize, youth can never come twice.

October 3, 2011

In Love Is Where I Am

It's the way that he loves me
That I begin to smile.
Every moment becomes
Worthwhile.
I want to spend every
Moment and every
Chance I get with him.
He's the one who has
Me so bundled in.
In love is where I am,
Melting into puddles
Inside my shy heart.
Inside his heart is where
My life had her start.

And I never want to let
This love go away.
I want to make sure this
Feeling is the one that stays.
I'm in love with him.

September 18, 2011

I Still Remain

But because she's a girl with

A quiet, bold heart,

Because she's strong and grips onto the stars,

She remains,

Unbroken and finely restored everyday.

Nothing will stand in her way.

But because no one truly knows me,

Artistic and relevant to honesty and integrity,

Because I don't complain or fight back in words,

I remain,

Misunderstood and underestimated,

A victim of biased feats. 

I've never been treated so unfairly, 

It scared me,

But because I am who I am,

I remain.

But because she lifts up her head and stands tall before the crowds,

With a smile full of grace and head clammed out of doubts,

Because deep within her heart is a love faced with no ignorance, 

Her love remains pure and just,

Overwhelming understanding of each person before her,

Unconditional broken hearts for each person she faces.

Taking each heart to the extent of hers,

And because she is who she is,

She finds a world that remains so impure.

But because I don't understand,

Why am I misunderstood, discriminated?

Why am I faced with this ignorance,

Why do I feel so alone in this?

Shooting eyes, ignoring ears,

I never thought I'd have this fear.

But because no one takes the time,

All I can do is make simple words rhyme.

She is who I am.

She's in love,

She's a prosy,

She's open-minded,

She's kind,

She's aggressive,
She's competitive,
She's tough, yet

She's sweet,

She's sensitive,

She's a dreamer,

She's a believer,

She's determined

And she's returning.

But because I am who I am,

With a heart speaking foreign grace,

Even with a chance, I still lose my race.

People cutting through lines and space,

People shoving their hand into my face,

People never looking past my eyes,

Believing every lie,

But because I am who I am,

I still remain.

September 7, 2011

Only For Me

I like speaking softly under the moonlit night.
Everything's more romantic,
Times are less tragic,
And it's moments like those
When the magic begins.

Sometimes my walls are broken into,
And I don't know how much
My heart can take.
That's why nights like these
Should be crowned upon,
They make my world majestically shake.

I like labeling my journal Only for me.
Speaking only my hearts true desire.
Nothing of this world can enter into
Something so prestige.
Only my eyes can see its greater view.
Only my lips mouth the phrase, "I love you."
And only my heart can steal a dream
And make it come true.

August 15, 2011

Todo Mi Vida

The way you've loved me since day one,
Is as amazing as a midnight setting sun.
It glows in the night and continues til morning,
Showing off every bit of glamour from a night before.

You read my lips as if I were speaking fluent Spanish.
You step in closer knowing which way to hold me,
And you breath so lightly on my lips,
That my heart begins to beat slowly.

You break my heart in such a good way.
You know which piece  goes where.
You've stepped into my life as if you've
Been there since my childhood,
And I dream you'll never leave me,
Cuz I promise to be good.

To be good to you is all I wanna do.
Love you, flaunt you, kiss you, miss you.
My whole world has been placed on your shoulders,
And from now until we're older,
I want you.

Te amo mucho con todo nuestro corason.
Por todo mis dias, mesas y mi vida,
Te quiero mi Osito.

August 14, 2011

A Love So Honest

The lights were down low,
I heard your breath linger
In my ear.
Your sweet hands brushed
Against my cheek.
Leaving me unable to speak.

Your head leaned closer
And tilted so gently.
Our lips touched
And we kissed so honestly.
You smiled at me,
Your dimples shining
Through the darkness.
Your eyes never left me,
My God, it was so honest.

With your arms embracing me
Like the smooth, dead of night sea,
My head laid gently against your chest
Letting me hear the sound of your heartbeat.
The warmth was like grace
And I never want to set that free.

Because this love is one of a kind,
It's here so that we can be.

July 31, 2011

A Tender Rose

Even if my love meant nothing to you,
And even if the sun didn't shine through,
I'd give my all to send you rain,
Just a little something to cleanse your heart of pain.

Even if my book read on and yours stopped,
The rest of my chapters would flaunt over you.
Because even if you didn't see me as your True Love,
Even if my skies weren't clear up above,
I'd give my all to be like a tender rose to your heart,

Even if inside mine,
The petals had all fallen apart.

July 13, 2011

Be Unforgettable

A love beginning
And ending
With forever,
Is a love that
Makes my heart
Beat faster.
Holding tight
To the one you love the most,
Is an unforgettable feeling
You'll just never wanna let go.
Never take the other for granted,
Cuz closing your eyes to their heart
Could leave you walking empty handed.
Love them and nourish their soul with yours,
Because even the slightest smile could leave them wanting you forevermore.

July 12, 2011

On Song Glory

One song: glory.
All of the worlds' ears has come alive.
Music revives the voices of the timid,
Bringing back love into peoples' eyes.
Showing off talent, camouflaged and disguised.
Unraveling soulful, artistic cries.
Motivating everyone everywhere.
Inspiring lyrics and lines.
Children listening and learning.
Learning expression of the heart.
Transforming the ways of modern music art.
Love in every rhythm and in every beat,
It moves us in a way that takes us through a feat.
A journey that when we close our eyes,
We can accomplish anything.

One lyricist,
One artist,
One song:
Glory.

Lost in Vehemence

There's something hidden in the water.
My vision blurs,
And I can't discern, it stirs.
Above the water are little tides,
Rolling beneath is a mystery.
Something under the waves hide,
Bellowing like a cold, suppressed scenery.
A picturesque suffering under hard rain,
Blurring the scenes, erasing what seems
To be an exquisite masterpiece.
Abstract strikes of paint secluding
The natural blend of art.
I'm taking this to heart,
Frustrated at how much the waters rush.
How I can't see past my own painful flush.
Tears tearing through my cheeks,
Breaking my heart with every teardrop.
Cuz beneath those ripples of waves,
Something still abides.
Cold and deep.
My rush of shallow, abstruse avidity
Continually being torn down.
And here I am, in a constant, naive stance,
Still looking deep into the dark sea,
Wondering what lies beneath.

Suddenly heedless.

Birth

Fire will fall,
And the Angel's music
Will sound throughout Earth.
When this happens,
It will be the sign of a new birth.
One where His laws will reign.
Where His children will realize
That He's the one who will break our shame.
He's the one who will provide our rain,
He will cleanse us,
His land will become glorious.
His love will shake the grounds,
It will never fail us,
Therefore, when fire falls,
We'll overcome and turn back around
To Him.
He'll send a revival to His people.
New love will be birthed.
A new world will be unearthed.

Living Under the Lion's Reign

Heaven roars triumphantly
As His children sing and dance
Beneath His hands.
His hands holding the Earth,
Healing His people one by one,
Each in different ways.
He's being glorified,
His glory being shown
Throughout His creation.
His children fellowship,
They come together
Wanting their lives to
Last forever.
They open their mouths,
They open their ears
To God's other children
Who have yet to hear the Truth.

Jesus is the Truth.
He's a Lion
Wanting to reign
Over His kingdom.
He's not dead.
He's alive and living,
Spreading fire throughout
The hearts of His creations.

He's waiting to see faith,
A revolution across this world.

Blush

My eyes become shy
And I bite my lips.
My smile slightly blooming.
I turn my head so that
You won't see,
That my face is
Slightly illuminating.
The way you
Brush your hand along my cheek,
My heart beats faster,
Then my legs feel weak.

This is what you've done to me.
The way I look at you,
Is a way I'll never look at
Anyone else.
The way my smile blooms,
It will never be as spontaneous
As you make it to be.
Everything you are to me
Makes me love you even more
Every day.
Even when you were still my
Little puppy love crush,
'Til today, and forevermore,
You still make me blush.

July 7, 2011

Labeled

So
I have a dream too.
God gave me a talent
That I shouldn't put to waste.

He gave me a voice
For others to taste.
Sing for your generation,
Collect our donation
And send them back
To another nation.

One that cannot
Fend for themselves.
One that has been
Labeled:
Third-World Country.

Time to give them a chance,
Time to make a choice.
Together, we'll be their voice.

June 30, 2011

Above the Horizon

As I'm fighting back tears,
Hope doesn't seem to near.
My heart has been forgotten,
Our dream for life
Has rotten.

I am holding on to You,
Cuz You're the only one
Who's true.
With you I'm not alone,
Or broken down like stone.

I am built upon a rock.
I believed everything I'm not,
But because of you I rise!
We rise above the horizon.
My eyes have been opened wide,
And there You are,
Standing by my side.

I have not been forgotten,
My heart will earn its chance.
Above and beyond,
With God, we'll make our stand.

*Not through my eyes, but through the eyes of
Children in need of healthcare, freedom from
Abusive homes, freedom from homelessness,
freedom from loneliness, freedom from not being sought.*

Headfirst In Love

And all I want is to love you.
Because you're my Bestfriend.
You smile at me like no one else can.
Your hugs make my heart rise,
And your kisses light up my eyes.
And I look at you like I've never
Looked at anyone before.
Because babe, you're my Bestfriend.
And I couldn't have asked for
Anything more, than you.

I love that what we have is true.

June 25, 2011

The Man of This World

She doesn't need to cry
Because her life's been
Defined, refined
And aligned.
No need for the
Man of this world
To tell her who she is.
To tell her she is this,
To tell her to shut her lips.
God has given her a voice.
And she uses it for her
Own will and her own choice.
She isn't alone, and pursues
To His throne,
For she is a child of Him.

Her old life is hitting the road,
As her blessed one eases on in.

June 25, 2011

Hope

It's because Your love never
Runs out,
Gives in,
Never fails.
Your love strips my veil.
My eyes look to Your skies.
Tears, falling beneath cheeks.
It's You that I want to seek.
I hear Your voice,
And mine will not speak.
I'll listen to where You
Want me to go.
I'll give You my time,
My heart,
Soul and mind.
Use me,
Because I was then Your broken child.
Now I have been made whole by
Your heart,
Your love,
Your strength,
Your hope.

I want to be part of the Hope
For this generation.

The Love that Lives in Me

My heart still cries for you.
You're everything that love should be.
You're the smile of my heart that lives in me.
You're my Superman in times of need.

It's your kiss that makes time worthwhile.
Everything in my body would seem to smile.
Because your arms hold me so gently,
There's no other place I'd rather be.
You're the love that lives in me.

Looking into your eyes,
I understand what love is.
The way you took me by surprise,
Ever since, I've wanted you to be mine.
Because in your arms I feel so loved and free.
You're everything of love that was meant to be.

Because you're heart is what lives in me.

June 17, 2011

A Place To Be

Past my window is life.
Past my eyes is time.
Looking back at my door,
I pushed my thoughts for more.
What can I do?
Where can I go?
Who will I turn to?

Inside my head is just me.
No one else knows my thoughts.
And just between me and my heart,
I wonder, "Who can I be?"

Because past my window
There's something more.
Past my eyes
Is a new direction.

I'm not looking for perfection,
Maybe just a place where
I can be worth something.

Don't Let This Summer Be Our Last

If you leave me tonight,
My heart will be gone.
Nothing else in the world
Will matter anymore.
My life and soul
Will have vanished,
Been broken,
My life forever closed.
The door that was once open,
Lifeless and unloved.
You're my everything
And I know I'm yours,
Because our heart is all
We've ever dreamed of.
There won't be no love,
Just broken tears raining
Down my cheeks.
The cheeks you would
Have once kissed and
Caressed with the back
Of your sweet hand.
I wouldn't see
Anymore smiles from the
Soft texture of your lips.
No warm hugs when
Football games are filled
With cold air.
No more
Kitty and Teddybear.
Just my empty hand
Dangling in the wind.
Just my heart slowly
Sinking down, slowly caving in.

Please don't leave,
I'm your everything
And you're mine.
Don't let this summer
Be the last time I look
Into your eyes.

June 1, 2011

Fireplace

We were sittin by the fireplace
Drinkin Mountain Dew
You held me by my waist
And you told me,"I love you".

The warmth of your hands
Released my butterflies
You turned around and pulled me in
I felt I was gonna die.

Cuz your lips tasted sweet
Your smile blew my mind
You made my insides feel so weak
All I wanted was for you to be mine.

Be mine, be forever mine.

Chorus:
I saw the fire burning
The flames were flying high
I saw your eyes glistening
My heart fell at your smile

I placed my head on your chest
And I closed my cloud nine eyes
And I woke up the next morning
Found a fire flame was still alive.

It reminded me
How even when we close our eyes
Our love will burn
And never will it die.

The strength of love
Is all my heart needs
Our flame will burn
Always inside of me.

Love Melts

You've broken into my heart,
Now I can never let you go.
My hands belong where
Your love is.
My eyes belong in yours.
My body rests in your embrace.
And my kiss goes sweetly
Onto your nose.

My eyes water at the sound of
Your sadness,
My heart aches at the weakness
Of your words.
I tell myself I will always be
The sweetest girl to you,
And sometimes it fails to be true.

But I care so deeply about you.
I'd fall at my knees for you,
My eyes would cry passionately for you.
My kiss would be shaken because of you,
I am who I am because of you.

My life is different because of you.
And everyday, my heart melts.
Nothing will ever change. <3

My Love Will Never Run

There's only one person in this world.
My heart loves belonging to you.
You're so special to my soul,
I promise I'll never let you go.
There's only one person in this world
Who could make me feel the most alive.
You've stolen my heart,
And yet the only one
Who can truly make me cry.
The pain I feel is the one
I love the most.
Because there's only one person
In this entire world
Who I love with all my soul.
I hope you'll never let me go.

May 2, 2011

Trampoline

Jumping high into the night sky.
Stars fading in above our heads.
Laughing so hard I was gonna cry,
We've been bestfriends since we met.

The warm Georgian breeze
Back for another summer.
Crickets chirping, Orion casting low.
Our heads looking back at him
As our continued love grows.

Laying down, shoulder to shoulder.
My head turns to see your eyes.
Everything about that day
Was perfect.
I felt my love for you was just right.

Laying on the trampoline,
Being together on that
Young summer night,
My heart didn't want
To let you go.
But your smile said,
"We'll definitely have another time.
Definitely another night."

Our hands were linked
As I looked into your eyes.
With sweet Georgian air
Running against our skin.
Our love has been perfect
Ever since we met,
Ever since and always have been.

Because forever means always
And always means forever.
That's why my heart will
Always love you.
Always, just us together.

On my trampoline,
On that young summer night.
"I promise, you will always be mine."

April 25, 2011

Believer

I've come alive.
Your smile spoke
To my heart.
Your soft hands
Broke through
My feelings, emotions.
I've come alive.

I sought your eyes.
Your perfect lips
Beckoned me closer.
The warmth of your
Hugs wanted me to
Never let your soul go.
I looked into your eyes
And there was something
That they wanted to
Let me know.

I kissed your lips.
I dreamed of how
You laughed;
My heart, I wanted
You to have,
And I forever wanted
To be yours.
Everything about you
Reeled me in deeper.
Everything you are
Kept me to be a believer.
I kissed your lips
And I felt our spark.

Nothing about you,
About us,
Will ever fall apart.

April 21, 2011

Glide

If only my life began with you,
Because we're so perfect,
It was only meant for us two.
You're my one and only,
And I'm forever yours.
The way this love flies
Is perfect for the way it soars.
We glide, we fly:
Perfect.

As long as you're forever with me now,
I'll never want to love again,
Because you're the one I love,
My new beginning and my only end.

April 19, 2011

Truth Was You

My heart fell broken.

I never wanted to pick 

The pieces up again.

I knew I'd find a different one,

But I felt as if it was my end.

The way I felt shattered,

The way I felt unreal,

I never wanted

My heart to experience  this. 

I didn't know if I would heal.

But you picked me off my feet,

And you held my hand from

Falling down.

I was so close to the ground,

But you didn't let me fall.

I never expected for you

To answer my call.

Still you didn't let me go.

You helped me find the truth.

And I realized the only truth

There was, was you. 

You helped me start new,

And you became my bestfriend.

You became my everything,

Everything until our end.

Always and Forever,

Together.

April 18, 2011

Aimless Love

And then I saw your smile,

The way your shoulder

Pressed against mine.

The way you laughed,

The way you were so quiet

And mild.

The way you were gentle,

The way you were kind,

It took me by surprise.

I never meant for my 

Love to grow.

But you stole my heart

So easily before I could

Say no.

The way you gently 

Put your hand over mine,

The way you were sweet,

Heartfelt and kind.

The way you were the 

Most sweet and honest boy to me.

I believe in my heart, 

Ever since that very first moment,

We were meant to be.

April 18, 2011

Kids

I'll tell them stories
Of our love.
I'll show them our ways.
Romantic and sweet,
Carefree in love.
It's beauty indeed.
You, the gentleman,
And me, your girl,
I'll tell them our stories
Of love so pure.
I'll open their eyes
And bring open their hands.
I'll tell them love is okay,
And show them how to stand.
Love is bold and firm,
Everything our love is
Because we will love
Eachother forever,
Just like now, as kids.

"Just like when we were kids."

April 17, 2011

Spotless

I only need you,
Because you make
Everything new.
Spotless love,
So pure and clean.
The way you hold my hand
Is all I need.
I only need you because
My heart shines through.
Blooming flowers
Just like our love,
All I'll ever need is you.

April 17, 2011

Naturally

I see my heart in yours,
Your love for me is so pure,
So sweet.
You keep me off my feet
And the butterflies in my stomach.
You keep me naturally in love,
Naturally me.
I want us to be,
I want us to be in love, naturally.

April 1, 2011

Tell Me

My heart stands for YOU.
Y- youthful and spontaneous.
O- obedient and gracious,
U- unconditionally wanting to love you all the time.
YOU is who I am to you.
The way you are makes me this way.
I believe this is true love and
I want it to always be this way.
Sweet hearts like yours is a gift,
A gift I'd live to die for.
Its purity and its warmth embraces me.
Tell me, mi amor,
Tell me there's no one more.
That I'm your only precious one
And that you're my one and only love.
Tell me...

Our Teribithia

But we stepped into another world.
A place we immediately set for us.
I saw the water as calm
And I also saw it as rushed.
The place was hushed,
As if it was made for us.
Made for us to see,
Made for us to discover.
We uncovered our own Teribithia.
Our eyes focused on the creek,
The sounds of little waves hitting
Sand and stone.
Together we were out in the woods,
But yet together we were not alone.
Our hearts sat us down upon the water.
Big rocks and boulders as our bridge.
We opened our eyes and let our hearts live.
We talked and skipped rocks,
We found non-durable moss.
This creek and its sand
Just feet away from that civilized place.
Just behind the theater did our kiss
Put a smile on our face.
Just an innocent kiss upon that creek water.
Just an innocent place for us to be together.
We proclaimed it always and forever.
King and Queen of our Teribithia.

The Fighter

Sometimes my mind gets scared.

Like I am not confident enough.

As If I am not strong to be tough.

As if I can't level up.

I feel as if I am weak.

As if there is tape holding

Back my cheeks,

Like I can't even speak.

As if there are chains

Around my wrists.

I am being held down to this,

No confidence.

Low to the ground.

My ear only listens 

To my mind.

"You are not worth it," it would say.

I'm in a prison.

I try and try to fight

To get out,

To the top.

Fighting, never willing to stop.

I'm being held,

But I won't back down.

I'm not no one's clown.

No crown will be placed on their head.

I'm off to the races,

Gonna fight 'til I bleed.

They will beat me,

Hurt me,

Watch me as I cry.

I may be hurting,

But I'm alive on the inside.

My soul will never quit.

I know what I want

And I'll do anything to get it.

I'll reach to the top

No matter what I do,

Because I know my strength,

It says, "No one can stop you."

I'll undertake the pain,

I'll fall but I'll still stand.

I'm trudging beneath this rain,

But I won't take no hand.

I'll listen to my heart,

I'll find my power deep within.

Nothing could bring down my confidence,

Nothing will create my end.

I'm going to fight, again and again

'Til I reach my top.

I'm aiming towards my victory,

I'm gonna find the strength in me.

My will, my heart.

Confidence.

*(As shown in The Wine of Angels: A Series of Storms)

I Wanna Mean Everything

I wanna be your everything,
I wanna be there with you through everything,
Even if you would push me away during hard times,
I promise my heart will always be there for yours.
No matter how bad you would hurt me,
No matter how many tears fall from my face,
My love will never change.
I wanna mean so much more than just a girl to you,
I wanna mean everything to you.

February 14, 2011 (2:43 am)

Forever With You

I could imagine this forever,
Forever with you.
I love the way I'm so sure,
The way I know it's gonna be just us two.
Your heart is beautiful,
It's sweet and true.
Tell me that forever will you be mine,
Tell me that this will last a lifetime,
Forever with you.

February 11, 2011

A Little Something I Call Love

Here's something I wrote for you,
It's clean and it's pure.
It's definitely sure.
It's warm and it's sweet.
I know you were made for me
And I don't doubt that one bit,
Because right when we kissed,
I knew our lips were made to fit.

Here's what I wrote for you,
It was only made for us two:
"I Love You."

February 10, 2011

Love Is

Sweet and simple,
Touching and loving,
Perfectly thrilling.
It's you and me,
Only until forever ends.
Forever and ever,
It's me and you,
It's love and truth.
Our love is what love
Really is.
Our heart's together
Always and forever.

February 8, 2011

Forever Boundless

It's because
I am in love.

I have fallen unspoken
Into this world.

Feeding my mind only
With your sweet words.

Imagining at night
What our world could be like.

Picturing and dreaming
Of our sweet and perfect journey.

It's because I am in love
That I feel like I'm flying.
Having the time of my life
With you smiling beside me,
Embracing me and holding me,
Endlessly loving me.
You're the truth to my heart,
The key to my love
And without you,
Nothing would exist through my eyes;
Our love,
Forever boundless,
Gliding through the skies.

February 8, 2011

Take Me Safe Into Your Arms

Touch my heart
And kiss my cheek.
I'll close my eyes
And imagine dreams.
I'm together with you
Where life seems
Open and new.
This is only if I'm with you.
Because my heart's
Not whole without your touch.
Our kiss wouldn't be real
Without your lips.
Kiss me, take me, hold me,
Save me.

Take me safe into your arms
As I touch your heart
With my rough fingertips.
Take me safe into your arms
As I kiss your cheek
With my broken lips.

February 8, 2011

Diamonds In the Sky

I'd never give up on our love,
'Cause it's beautiful.
It's a diamond
Hidden in a secret cove.
It's the stars in the night sky,
Shining,
Twinkling in our eyes.
It's a love worth waiting for,
I'd never want anything else
Anymore,
But you.

January 23, 2011

Breathless

Take me away
Into a place,
Where my heart is safe.
Show me roads,
Show me signs,
Lead me to where you are.
Find my heart
And keep it warm,
Take it away
Into a secret place,
Where all we'll feel
Is eachother's grace.

Find my heart,
And find my soul.
Take me away,
Don't let me go.

January 23, 2011

Como la Flor

Our love blooms,
Like a flower.
It's beautiful,
Radiant,
Devouring.
It's empowering.
I feel blessed and grateful.
Your love has bloomed,
Like a flower it opens up to me.
There's a sweet sense,
A caring and loving feel.

Como la flor,
Our love blooms.
