Graduate

Students ready, teachers here
Suddenly we both appear
Patience please, for both our sake
I am trying to caretake
She asks me to walk by faith
I her to communicate
Lending hand and listening ear
I can hear her loud and clear 
She sees me through facing fear
I'd abandoned my career
Thrive inside a twist of fate
Speak despite delay in rate
Love is all you need and take
Now we get to graduate

Traveling Light

I wonder what his heart looks like
A cypress tree and starry night
Like grenadine with Diet Sprite
The streamers on a child's bike
Cathedral bells and falling rice
Or ocean swells 'neath diamond kites
Like tinsel strands and traveling light?
He'll show me once he knows I'm right

The Mouse

With candy cane handcuffs, there needn't be keys 
Mistreat me this Christmas, I chew through and leave
My quips are my missiles and kisses deadly
Such insulin shock, you could drop and decease
Curled up with the kittens in mistletoe leaves
One eye on my business and cheese as I sleep
I've predators present at every degree
And ready or not, it's your thoughts I can read
So know this - I'm focused, and I will succeed 
The mouse in my house always stirring is me

God Boss

Love is my art
Heart is my home
God is my boss
Leave me alone

Jenga

Murder, mansion, mystery 
Do you know your history?
Queen of Hearts in memory 
Might I be your enemy?
Pick the candlestick and see 
Clues are in my poetry
House of cards and car of clowns
State of mind that wasn't sound
Sorry! Scrabble word not found
Back to basic starting ground
I'm in wind and when I'm round...
Jenga, all your walls come down

Show & Tell

Show & tell
Should've known
Swallowed whole
Spit up bones
Is this you 
Off your throne?
Without wings
All alone
Could've moved
Would have grown
Wouldn't you
Have rather flown?
Face your fear
Change your tone
Find your way
Phone your home

ICU (Love, God)

Whatever you may say or do
Or all you haven't gotten to
Whatever that you hurt or who
...Whether or not you meant it to
However you may think and rue
Or drug and drink into the blue
Whatever harm that then ensues 
(Although in time it's your turn, true)
Whatever you've been in or through...
You never change how I see you
