Simple


I made a wish
and
I buried it in my pillow pile
that night is where you sat
with your half smile
no thought
all other voices drown
your eyes spoke
while I was speaking
you were something new
I was all over you like confetti
you responded kindly
I am usually the stubborn kid
but gave in like I was allergic to turning away
your name is the sound of spring
making everything grow
there is curiosity in my fingertips
from the red paint
carry me in
that's the wink
cast your spell
easily

Let's Go


when the day gets funny
in the middle or at the end
like a fool I smile
blue haunts me
so I will laugh in the yellow
like bricks on the outside
like sand on the inside
don't slip into the past because you're tired
sinking with the questions
take your ear plugs out
your heart will go HUSH
and I will sing for you
don't get lost in the way things are designed
it's never to be understood
with only one set of legs
walk through never around
nothing left in the fight
no gloves
just love
just light

Windy City Lady


I started off in a beautiful place
that carries a wind that bites your face
my childhood was left behind there
who I was becoming is all that I would hear
shared everything that was born
my ideas wore bells and horns
seasons were colors that I used to paint
experiences that could only belong to my fate
more than one way to move within the busy streets
architecture that makes my house look incomplete
neighborhoods that designed their place on the map
energy that doesn't know how to take a nap
my old room where all of the ghosts stay
they miss me because I choose to live in today
I took the things I believe
are me
with me
along with the light from my favorite city
I can take a plane to my friends
so I can feel a heart to call home again
a light that reaches out to me
even when it gets too dark to see
never fading
I am your Windy City Lady

Cloudy


so far
it's been one dimensional
don't know where to take myself
hanging around
huge case of nerves
not knowing love
has made it tough
breaking up the day
with private walks
long daydreams
forgotten meals
time is nobody's friend
I am on my own
natural coward , taught loner
people are the strangest things
I belong to music and stuff
they have funny ways of saying things
my way of advertising my opinion
is
impossible sense
so far

The Reminders


beautiful life
shines when I need it the most
loyal friends
with handfuls of love
mouthfuls of interest
rattles my heart when it falls asleep
with
heavy eye lids
never used to being alone
beautiful life
makes me full of light
never want to rest again
inertia
running on adrenaline
thank you
