Waking Up To You

Sleeping with a
Smile on my face
Dreaming of
Waking up to you

Thoughts racing through my head
The way my heart jumps through my chest
When I
Wake up to you

You're better
Than any kind of coffee or tea
I can slurp on you
Better than any alarm clock
To wake up to

Now that you're awake
And have feed me
I now provide you
A world of my never ending love
Thank you baby
For letting me
Wake up to you

The Mind Wonders

The mind wonders


What it would’ve been like

Had things been different

Not myself

Possibility someone better

Who knows?

Not me for certain

Not the sharpest tool in the drawer

There has to be something greater out here

A place for me

Where I no longer hurt

Moonlight

I sit here


Perked at the top of this hill

Speaking out loud

Freely

Without fear of being judged

You’re not here next to me

But it’s not your ear

I want to talk to

I’d rather it be your heart

You’re the biggest star

In my constellation

I don’t know how much time I have left

On this earth

Where ever you are

I want you to know

How much I love you

In The Air Tonight

Can you feel it?


The way the winds have shifted

How the air is not thick

Making it hard to breathe

Something is coming

She knows

As she walks into the hotel lobby

For whatever reason

She doesn’t stay at home tonight

A decision that would impact her

For the remainder of her life



A man boards the elevator with her

He comments about how they’re both

Going to the same floor

Innocent as it seems



She gets off

He follows

Turns the same direction as she does

Then drops something

As she slides the key card in and turns the knob

He rushes her

Pushing her inside the room

She fights him with every bit of strength she has

He muffles her screams with his hand



Kicking

Punching

Clawing

She breaks free

Clothes torn

Stubbing out of the room



She runs down the corridor

Screaming for help from room to room

Floor to floor

Finally running outside into the street

A Good Samaritan calls law enforcement

Crisis averted

Or so it seems

Young lady still has trouble sleeping at night

Even when the air is calm

In the night
