I love you
Truth
December 7, 2008I can’t tell you how true it is
that you make me feel
I am much more than I could ever be,
that you make want to sleep,
just so I can dream about you
I can’t tell you how true it is,
that you make me want to wake up
just so I have a reason to look at you
that you make me want to sing
just so I can see you smile
I can’t tell you how true it is,
every word that I say,
every breath that I take
every moment I’m alive…
I can’t tell if this is love,
but if it isn’t
I truly know not what is!
A new dawn…
October 17, 2008there’s a blissful dawn
coming my way
and I’m shamelessly drawn…
my dreams, a disarray
no dungeons any more,
the darkness fades away
my freedom, it lies
from me, a sunshine away…
the sky’s a carpet, leading me
from my prison astray
no chains, no walls,
unbound here I lay
I seek refuge in my
memories of yesterday,
there’s a blissful dawn
coming my way…
I close my eyes,
can’t push it away…
How I am…
October 14, 2008By Jason Shinder :
When I talk to my friends I pretend I am standing on the wings
of a flying plane. I cannot be trusted to tell them how I am.
Or if I am falling to earth weighing less
than a dozen roses. Sometimes I dream they have broken up
with their lovers and are carrying food to my house.
When I open the mailbox I hear their voices
like the long upward-winding curve of a train whistle
passing through the tall grasses and ferns
after the train has passed. I never get ahead of their shadows.
I embrace them in front of moving cars. I keep them away
from my miseries because to say I am miserable is to say I am like them.
