My heart is heavy for you today

for the burdens you carry your way

You long to be free

for simplicity

Do you? Or am I reading you wrong

My pull to you is strong

You are now in my heart

for your gift gave me a start

I am scared of what lies ahead

new territory to tread

What will happen to me, to you

a beginning, an end

or just a friend

What ever comes up I will face

for I am stronger now in this race

You will live your life, I will live mine

whenever our paths cross

it will surely be divine

I'll cherish the moments

I'll not ask for more

I know you don't want

what you've had before

We are both looking for new

not old, not blue...

You seem content right now

to bad for me and how

I'll carry this with me

the secret between we

I'm scared of my feelings

I know I don't want

to send myself reeling

As I have done

many times before

I'll see you in shadows

I'll see you in winter

I'll see you my friend

always left of center...

I had a dream and it scared me.

You were there, scared and frightened

to take that step

that one scary step

I am too, fore I am like you

scared to take that step,

scared of you

My heart is weak and yours is too

Life is full of imperfections and so are we

Life is but mistakes and lessons to be learned

We can stay scared and learn our lessons alone

or we could challenge them together

When I look at you -- I see my reflection

Wanting, but scared to touch

scared to reach,

scared it may be rough

I've seen you my friend,

don't be afraid,

I'd be there for you,

you 'd be there for me

Sitting alone in my room as I think of you

I think of the strength between us, that could be

The strength in ourselves that could blossom into we

In the night I hear your plight

the lonesome call of one so tall

In the night your in my sight

your in my dream close to my stream

In the night you come a rapping

waking me up from my napping

In the night I hear a sound

reminding me of what was found

In the night you stir my soul

making me restless in my hole

In the night I cannot sleep

for the memories that I keep

In the night my cry so dear

keeping me from sleeping here

In the day I cannot wait

until the night where I lie awake

In the day my heart races

to those thoughts in which have places

In the day I think of you

my petals glisten from the dew

In the day I travel on

thinking of you hard and long

In the day thoughts come my way

of next we meet come what may

In the day until we meet

I think of you I think of heat

In the day you'll never know

what keeps me going and makes me whole

Until then you'll find me here

deep in thought of you dear

Until then unlike sinking ships

I sit and think of your lips

Until then until I concede

I'll heed no warning of my need

Until then I think you know

I'll think of you as water flows

Until then until I find

our bodies mingled intertwined

Until then until at last

we twist together like in the past

Until then my dearest sweet

I'll enjoy the memories that I keep

In the light I wake

a brand new day

In the day I smile

for new things come my way

In the night I ponder

the past seems so much longer

But then I sleep

sometimes I weep

But then the morn'

comes once again

And I smile think

of the past, present and future

I do not cry anymore

fore the past is what makes me stronger

In the present I surely think

that things are got and will get better

I see my future of many paths

the one I take I hope it lasts

I'll be happy fore you see

theres no one else just like me!

The freedom of the soaring crow
that is my spirit looking below
As I sit and ponder past
how I finally smile at last
And in the present darkness we
smile for a while and make believe
With this crow my destiny lies
fore he does carry all thats inside

His black satin feathers and wise old eyes
only in this creatures disguise
I hide my heart, I hide my soul,
I hide my face until I grow
The crow will guide me, teach me how
to become myself and never look down
To be at peace to be as one
forever liking the person I've become

In my life my crow and me
follow the path which carries me
Along the way, from time to time
moments shared are truely devine
Myself, this path, alone I must take
except for the crow which guides my fate
My shadow, myself as one are we
my crow and I forever we'll be.

I am in my room

my own little room

It is like a music box

playing a single tune

When I listen closely

I can hear the playing

Tunes playing from others

very small room

In this place, I am safe from harm

It gives me comfort, keeps me warm

In my room, you'll find me here

with my thoughts and poems so very dear

In my room I sit and view

all that I have gone through

In my room my trust is mine

when given out, a gift devine

Not to sure what to be

I like my safety, I like to be free

In my place, I've found true peace

where I can cause things to cease

In my room I hide my face

under masks of different race

If you need me, you'll find me here

deep inside where visions gleam

If you need me, you'll find me here

deep inside where music dreams

I am the Chameleon

I have many faces

My color does change

along with my paces

My attitude changes, is never the same

as the wind drifts, it calls out my name

I see you coming, calling my name

then the next thing I know

I'm changing again

I can become what you want me to be

fore I am the chameleon, do you not see?

With all of these changes

I am not free

Nor am I very happy

because of the fact that, I can't find me

In my journey, I'll look for you here

deep in my heart, I keep you near

Never too close, never too sure

where this journey will lead me

or how far will I endure

I am the chameleon of that I can't deny

I'll find my identity among the faces where I hide

When I'm complete, I'll let you know

You'll see me in a different light

as I begin to glow

I am here for you, my chameleon, my friend

we're in this jouney, until the end

You are in my heart as I've said before

my friend who lifts me, when I fall hard

I tell you this for one day you might see

the real face, the face that is me
