for the first time in a long time, i picked up a guitar because i wanted to play. no judgment from wood and strings – just a “glad to see you” as the sounds said things i could not feel.

oh what a lucky star i was – to be plucked by your hand in a sea of black cloak sky. take me from a shore of sand stars where we all shined as grains and appeared the same from far away – but you, good sir, pinched me from the dark and tied your sweet name to me so that i could be the sun in your life. set me apart and i will shine.

on the news tonight, they showed a window that supposedly had the image of jesus in it. tons of people have visited the apartment window. candles with the virgin mary surrounding the glass. people on their knees praying. so they moved the window to a church and the pope has named it. while it was being taken out, it cracked.

all of the people were upset.

i am so glad that i don’t need a window with a shape in it to see god.

to all of the silly girls in the world – once you find love, keep it safe. don’t leave it for anything. treat it soft and kind. be gentle – keep it close and don’t ever let it go -

i’d give it all away -
big house
dog
nice couch
fast car -
for it all to go back to how it was
before we knew what it sounded like
to hear each other’s yelling voices
before we had to be in the right “mood”
to be intimate
when we didn’t stress about money
because we never had any
i miss you and i
miss me
that’s in this jaded skin
somewhere

sleeping boy with smooth cheeks
my hand on your chest when you squint
one eye open and smile
pull me close as we talk about
everything and nothing
i’m your baby girl
two people sharing one interaction,
one life
despite all differences
hard and soft
