The Story teller

She tells stories like they're a trick of her tongue.
She captures hearts with her voice,
And souls in between her words.
She gathers them all, like stars in a galaxy
and every story adds a spark in her eyes
That she carries on to the curious hearts she encounters.
There's something in the way she speaks
that moves you, that reaches deep within you.
There's something in the stories she tells
Of love and life and joy and sorrow.
There's something about the way her eyes speak,
They tell more stories in a minute than she could in a lifetime,
And yet they all flock to hear her,
to travel, motionless!

The  story teller, learns as she goes
and she teaches what she knows.
She hides behind a million lives, of lessons and loss,
Of pain, grief, and mistakes that cost.
Shes hiding her story for she cannot tell,
Just how broken she is under that hard shell.
And how about that dam spell?!?
To empathize and sympathize no matter what
to know before the end of the plot!
For often she listens with an understanding heart
To the stories that brought two together or tore them apart.
To stories of adventure and mistakes and redemption
To stories of victory, shame and often repression.
And she carries these around with her wherever she goes
This story teller, the keeper of tales, the one who just knows.

She's part of these stories now as she takes them on,
She's one among the characters, one among them all.
She insists we all are but stories on this earth.
Chapter after chapter, unfolding since birth.
And she too is just a story, one that may be forgotten
along with the stories that never made their way.
I tell you of her , this story teller,
In hope that you will meet her some day.

Stay Awake

Stay awake with me
Stay awake and be with me
Let this be our time to be.
To understand without speaking
To know without telling
To answer without asking
Stay awake with me and let me hold your hand
Stay awake there's so little time we have
Our lives are short and I need you now
Close your eyes but stay awake
Dwell in the darkness
Bask in the silence
The night knows more than we ever shall
Stay awake for me.
Will you?
Stay awake for I love you and I can't without you.

Easy

They don't believe the things she says,
They say it's over done and over heard.
They don't see her path of thought,
They can't fathom her perspective at all.

And she's leaning towards not believing in herself.
She's questioning the principles that brought her here.
For suddenly she feels so lost,
Like the world can be hers, but at what cost?

That her way of life is not understandable,
That's it's so beyond ones grasp
that they give up before trying to see her through.
And she wonders ,really, what wrong has done.
And she wonders, really, what right can she do?

For all her life she's believed in just herself
But all of a sudden she can't find herself anymore.
Lost among what they all want her to be
And found among what she's lost in her life.

She needs a moment to stop and look back.
And account for all her actions.
Give her the time to go back and listen to the words she's spoken.
And what about the hearts she's broken?

And then again, the ones she's mended.
She's thinking about the relationships she's started and even the ones she's ended.

And she's breaking inside to leave something behind ,
She's breaking inside to break herself apart.
Why, she wonders, why can't she be easy?
Easy going, easy to understand, easy to have, easy to hold, easy to unfold...

I'm Losing You

I'm losing you,
I'm losing you to something stupid.
You're going away and I can blame me.
But I don't want to, it doesn't have to be.
You're in my head and you're in my heart,
And I didn't know you right from the start.
But we made our way and we made it through,
I can't bare the thought of losing you.
But I screwed it up, I held too long,
I grew weak and forgot what is strong.
With bare hands I held on too tight,
Comforting not just you but my nameless, unheard of fright.
But in the middle of the night
I got lost.
And so did you but at what cost?
Dawn gave us a new fear,
And what was last year, can never be again.
We can't be now what we were back then.
And I shudder to think that everything, someday, must come to an end.
