night


the closest I come to holding you
is hearing you sleep on the other end
and when we disconnect
my heart stops
as sadness sets in.


I have fallen in love with everything about you,
including the sound of your breathing.

Dirt

June 9, 2007

My heart in Alabama -
My happiness stayed with it -
My future watches over them,
and I am empty in my lonliness.
I don't want to wash the dirt off my jeans
because they traveled all the way back with me.
I took him in with my fingers
And when I close my eyes,
I can feel him.
I can smell him on my hands.
I can taste him on my lips –
Everything so new and fresh,
And I don't want this to end…
I've taken back with me everything I could,
But all I have now is
his shirt,
the dirt,
and his voice, once again.
Frustration at its worst –
The next time I leave this place of longing,
I'm never coming back.
I have left myself with him,
and will not feel whole again
until I'm back in his arms.

Left Tricep

May 20, 2007

My left tricep is killing me - as well as anything I press to my ear. Don't get me wrong - i'm not complaining...as - a: It's all worth it, considering that it's from the phone conversations I have with my baby (imagine holding a phone to your ear for 6 or so hours every night) and b: at least I'm getting a work out...of course, my left tricep is probably a little more developed than my right...but, then again, i've always had more strength in my right arm, anyways - so, i guess it's an even development.
And to be honest, i really wouldn't have it any other way - for the time being - as this is the closest he and I can get to each other.
I fell asleep on the phone with my baby last night...and listening to him sleep from the other end of the phone is always a comfort to me. For some reason, i tend to sleep better when this happens.

in-Between Cycle

May 15, 2007

I go to sleep with him being the last thing on my mind
and hearing his voice
I wake up with him still on my mind
and that gets me through the day
as I walk
missing him
thinking about "us" in our future
longing for the day to come
and it's not until I come home from work
when i hear his voice again
that sets my mind at ease
until i go to sleep
only to repeat
the next day
i don't want this cycle to end
until i have him to come home to

My Nick(otine) Addiction

may 12, 2007


I wanna be the smoke you inhale
so I can get closer to your heart –
feel you from the inside.
I wanna be your satisfaction
so I can calm your mind
and set your soul at ease.
I wanna fit in your pocket
so you can take me everywhere
and pull me out whenever you need me,
as well as press myself close to you
in your living day to day.
I wanna be the cloudy sky
you look up in
that always brightens your day.
I wanna be the rain that falls on your skin
so I can caress every part of your body
as I filter down.
I wanna be the pillow
that you lay your head on,
so I can give you the sweet dreams you deserve.
I wanna be the comforter
that warms your body at night
and wraps you in your peace.
I wanna be the things you touch.
I wanna be the things you see.
But, most of all,
I wanna be your everything.

Corbinated

may 12, 2007

I've never been one for routine,
but I'm in the routine of you,
and I can't go a day without hearing your voice.
In the silence, I can hear my heart beat
to the sound of your breathing
as they fit together in place –
And you have found the missing pieces
as our corners connect from opposite plains.
You are my mystery solved,
and all the in-betweens matter no more.
I'm enraptured in your sounds
as your voice fulfills my comfort.
I've always been lost in places of familiarity –
but you have found me
in this desolate mind,
and I gladly
walk blindly
to my known future with you.

A Song For Time

May 5, 2007

( okay, it's not my greatest work, but it makes a damn good song – just make up your own melody, and think country/folk…)

28 days 'til I see my baby.
O, time can't you speed up a little bit faster
28 days 'til I can look into his eyes
and so patience will become my master
Everything I've longed for
will be comin' 'round soon,
and as every day goes by
I'll be conversing with the moon.

Chorus
Just hold your love for me
and keep it tight and strong
I'm runnin' as fast as I can
and I'll be there before long
Through thickets of missing and fields of torture,
I'm holding onto you as I write this song.

28 days 'til I'm reunited
with the love I've never even met.
28 days 'til I'm in his arms
and everything will be reset.
Everything I've longed for
will be comin' 'round the bend
O, Time, for once in my life,
be my friend.

Repeat chorus

Bridge

Time travelin' through my emotions,
grabbin' at thorns to give you the roses.
Only you can relate
as it'll all be worth the wait.

Repeat chorus
