BEWITCHED

Mystery plagues my heart,

Like the dark side of the moon,

So fight for your dreams,

Or be taken too soon.

If I only had a soul,

Of light and love and laughter,

Then perhaps we could dance,

And I’d serenade you after.

There you are,

In all your honor and glory,

Enchanted by my nature,

Desperate for my story.

I’ll sit on the edge,  

And hum the song of a starling,

The next thing I know,

You’re calling me darling.

Tune out the static,

I’ll be your songbird,

You’ll see ripples of me,

When the lines are blurred.

We have always been one,

My dreams and I,

An unstoppable muse,

Splits me like gemini.

Halfway between your world,

And the one I know better,

Wrapped up and choking,

In the sleeves of your sweater.

But I won’t stop for anything,

There’s fire in my blood,

Too you’re in my veins,

So bring on the flood.

I adore the agony,

You may think it’s tragic,

So maybe I’m mad,

Or maybe I’m magic.

MELT

Some kind of wonderful,

Watching my lips,

Stitching my world,

Sinking my ships.

I can see you across from me,

Stealing glances in some café,

You make me blush and I realize,

I want to stay this way.

Upside down emotion,

Blink twice, it’s surreal,

Everything’s blurry,

But the feelings are real.

When skies become Monets,

In the beat of a heart,

Even in the dead of winter,

’Til death do we art.

And right then I knew,

Through gazes and painted skies,

I’d miss a thousand sunsets,

Just to look into your eyes.

INDEPENDENT

On my own time,

Young and carefree,

I’ll have you saying,

“Who the hell is she?”

Sent from the stars,

Without intention,

Because beautiful things,

Don’t ask for attention.

Don’t think twice,

Life’s a one way,

Taste the revolution,

Before it fades away.

Caught on your tongue,

Like snowflakes in December,

Roll back the tape,

So you can remember.

The most marvelous moments,

Exchanged without a whisper,

A thousand times over,

Every morning crisper.

My voice like honey,

Baby you should beware,

Because every drop of Jupiter,

Is caught in my hair.

You’re calling me darling,

This is where we belong,

So if we ever stop speaking,

Send me a song.

AUGUST

I’m not a 5 minute smoke break,

But you can feel the friction,

Not a one night stand,

I’m more like an addiction.

And who would’ve thought,

I’d know by twenty-two,

That I want to spend the rest,

Of my sunsets with you.

For the first time,

I’ve found my voice,

And for the first time,

I’m someone’s first choice.

To you no one compares,

No such thing as temptation,

It took time to realize,

This is more than infatuation.

With sand in our pockets,

And light in our eyes,

We make the most of it,

Before summer dies.

Day melts into dusk,

And it’s like déjà vu,

Nothing else matters,

Forever caught up in you.

Then you turn to me and say,

With eyes of golden ember,

“These are the nights,

I want to remember.”

NIRVANA

What’s the difference,

Between heaven and sin?

Heaven’s your headspace,

Not the places you’ve been.

I see heaven when you speak,

Even though you hear black and white,

When I listen there’s much more,

Our names in starlight.

Heaven’s the fire in your eyes,

That rages in spite of everything,

Heaven’s the white picket fence,

Not the empty key ring.

Maybe your heaven is a drunken midnight,

And mine’s an ocean breeze,

But I crave the part of you,

That no one else sees.

Come Sunday morning,

We’ll drive to the coast,

So I can have my heaven,

Like honey on toast.

Despite the secrets you may keep,

I’ll flirt with you in the backseat,

Because you are water twelve feet deep,

And I am boots made of concrete.

SPELLBOUND

They put a spell on me,

A charming curse,

But they’re dealing with,

A child of the universe.

They’re playing with fire,

And little do they know,

With the whispers of the wind,

I blush, and flowers grow.

I’ll be cautious now,

Watch where I set my gaze,

Because with just one look,

I can set the world ablaze.

I find faith in the light,

In the darkness I glow,

With a flick of the wrist,

I’ll send you into vertigo.

Maybe it’s true, I’m cursed,

Or maybe I’m enchanted,

So whisper me sweet nothings,

And your wish will soon be granted.

SERENDIPITY

Let’s walk into a bar,

Act like we’ve never met,

You can try to pick me up,

I have an aura of sunset.

I’ll see the light in your veins,

Your luminous heart,

Like the ocean’s last breath,

Before it tears us apart.

You’ll go on about my eyes,

And I’ll blush and play along,

As if you don’t stitch my world together,

As if this isn’t where I belong.

Words drip from your mouth,

Each a work of art,

And it kills me to think,

We were ever apart.

I’ll let you surround me,

With emotional rainfall,

Drown me in your river,

Before I know, it’s last call.

You leave me in awe,

Not thinking straight,

I hear your whisper say,

“We’re dancing with fate.”
