Sprinklers

Sunshine Summertime

that girl is fine

Spin in the streets

Shout for freedom

Laugh till you can't breathe

Walk in anywhere

Own the place

Keep a smile

on that beautiful face

Pick it up

Keep it positive

Change your thoughts

Give yourself a chance

to love

to succeed

to find happiness

Stop waiting to live

Find what gives you peace

And hold onto it

Walk Proud

Somedays I am surprised

to find these fears

exist within myself

Not the distance between

her body and mine

Other times these thoughts are solid

there is no space no place

My heart is not so strong as I say

These walls are painted with smiles

Much more fragile than I even know

Walking proud has lead me

to this hopeful place

With so much to loose

Somedays I don't trust here

Or there or me or you

the only cure for me

is more love

Duel Hearts

I know you

Who you are and want to be

Who you were before

I know how you make your moves

The tone of your voice before you speak

The look in your eyes when you see

I know what makes you happy

What little things can bring you joy

How real you make each moment seem

I feel when you are close

But remind myself what it's like

When you disappear

I am in front of you now and can see

When you will stay and when you will go

Biding your time

I am your distraction

A place for your soul to rest

I stand here holding you

My hands tied with my heart

Seeing no one else pass me by

You watch and smile at them all

Looking for something more

I know if I hold too tight

You will push me away

I am stuck here

You go on

Without a backward glance

I know you

Your broken heart will shatter

What is left of mine
