She Breaks Ground

---------------------------------------

Cosmic

You are the breath inside of my lung

Your love helps me breathe

You are the sin on the tip of my tongue

You make me believe

You are the fire inside of my beating heart

The match to my flame

If the spark catches the fire will start

That's why I carry your name

You treat me like I'm your goddess

And you are my noble king

If I die from your kiss

What would that bring

You are the only human on this planet

That was meant for me

That means our love is cosmic

And it was only meant to be

Complete

As she lays down on the sidewalk with her eyes made of stone

As she lays down she is not alone

Lift a hand to cup her cheek

Let her words caress you as you speak

Speak slowly no lies

Can you imagine being broken with no ties

To have your heart lying on the floor

Not being able to speak until someone opens the door

You picked me up off the ground

Off the cold hard concrete

Your heartbeat the only sound

Your voice so sweet

You made me want to breathe again

You made me want to talk

You made me laugh within

You made me dance and walk

Without you I'd be empty

A lifeless vessel beyond repair

I would have no meaning

I would not care

So to you I give my love

Beyond a reason of doubt

Your heart fits mine like a glove

You make me want to scream and shout

Jerry you hold my heart and soul

I was broken when I met you

You make me utterly whole

And, I can't wait to say I do

Chicken Nuggets

Chicken nuggets can poop too

They can climb up the tallest buildings

And even work at the zoo

They can dance like a magician

And fly kites on Tuesdays

They can sing like the wind

Or you could just eat em' anyways

They sing karaoke down at Rudy's

Or they could be shaped with the biggest booties

You could dip them in honey or mustard or ketchup

You could even dip them in your frosty, but wait a minute hold, up hold up

You could put little clown shoes on there little tiny feet

They could be made with gluten or chicken meat

If you throw em' on your floor, your dog will probably eat em'

Yeah, chicken nuggets you can't beat em'

Changes

Prompt: And So She Becomes Better.

One day I opened my eyes

And took a long, hard look around me

I realized, I was drowning in my lies

And that I was causing my own insanity

The person I saw in the mirror

Is not who I wanted to be

The truth was starting to become clear

That in order to change, it has to come from inside me

It's always easy to sit back and complain

And then get frustrated at yourself

But, in doing so, what will you gain

It only stresses out your health

So, it seems I need to build myself

And put the pieces back together

Yeah, it's easy to complain about wealth

But, it's also easy, to complain about the weather

I realized, that nothing's going to change unless I try

Instead of groveling in this procrastination

Instead of asking how or why

I need to get to work on God's creation

Captivated

You captivate me

To the point where I'm completely

And utterly speechless

You make me happy

To the point that I'm dying to kiss

To kiss your sweet lips

To watch you smile as I do this

I want to hold you're hand

Your hands hold so much love

They turn me to quicksand

Your hand fits mine like a glove

I want to smile

To whisper it will be ok

To open up my mouth to speak

And pour out all the words I want to say

My ink flows from my lips

It pours down this paper so smoothly

It stays on each line like caressing fingertips

Speaking in fine printed sensuality

I want to speak to your mind

To scream on the inside of your brain

To twist the black ribbons that wind

Around my heart.. You make me insane

I want to console you

To breathe the life into your lungs so you can live

With all the hurt I've gone through

Its amazing that I still have love to give

So take this gift and wrap it in lace

Put it inside a corner of your soul

So when you caress my face

Remember I love to make you whole

Chasing Saturn

Prompt: Let's Slide Down Saturn's Rings!

I scream tag your it, as I quickly run away

Your laughter chases behind me

It's a warm spring day

The pale moons are all I see

My lungs begin to scream

But I can't slow down

This all feels like a dream

As my feet slam against the ground

I dodge around a small crator

And leap over a pile of rocks

The air is a soft green blur

Just a girl running in her socks

I can feel you close behind me

But I just don't want you to win

I feel so light and free

As I start to grin

I dive into the milky blue river

Saturn has become my home

The cool air makes me shiver

The ripples tell me I'm not alone

I try to calm my heart

That was a wild chase

Let us never part

As I kiss your face

Let us swim the water's of Saturn

And make love on the shore

The fire will surely burn

And leave you wanting more

Let us holla hoop with her rings

And dance along the milky way

Let's talk about trivial things

Until we run out of words to say

Because you are my whole galaxy

So let's get lost in space

As long as your with me

Then life is worth winning the race
