Humanity We lend out our humanity Let other creatures and objects Borrow it for a time We give them thoughts and ideas And hopes and wishes We lend out our humanity Because we are lonely And we wish to not be so But the creatures and objects They can never bear our humanity Not long enough to satisfy And all too soon We are once again left alone
The Past Our past stays with us It follows us like a shadow No matter how we try To ignore or loose it Our past is always right there Waiting and watching For the moment when it reminds you It has never left
Beyond A Reasonable Doubt No proof without evidence Tell me you love me all you want Feed me sweet nothings And lull me to sleep on soft words But it makes no difference There is no proof without evidence Prove that you love me Beyond all reasonable doubt Give me all the evidence I can handle Show me that you adore me with all of you In ways both big and small Do the dishes on nights I can’t move Buy me a dozen roses on anniversaries Or even because you loved my smile today Prove that you love me every day So that my suspicious mind Has no evidence to the contrary
Snapshots Snapshots are all I have left Moments frozen forever in time Jokes I can never return to Laughter I can never recapture Tears I will never again shed Only memories kept close And brought out when I need them Till they're worn around the edges And the memories start to fade
#18 paints such a beautiful, glittering picture! I love the imagery of the celestial girl, drawing together an outfit from the skies!
"The fact is, I don't know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn't collapse when you beat your head against it." --Douglas Adams
