Sven

We fit together 

Like a hook & eye

Fish Hook 

Open eye

I can't remember the author but those are 4 of my favorite lines.

Sven is a dream a thought a wish a figment of the imagination

Sven is a hope a hand to hold on to a savior in dark times

Sven stands in the light a calm in the storm a friend waiting

Sven claims my heart but doesn't take it

Someday I will find Sven or whatever his true name is

We will meet some place ordinary 

But something special will begin

It's a quiet feeling

like a warm sweater on a cool night

It's a sense of belonging

like coming home after a long trip

the sound of your voice

the beat of your heart

the warmth of your smile

the laughter in your eyes

One day this world will exist

And maybe we both will get it right

Chuck Dave & John

I sit on the outside looking in

one week a year I try on your life

Show me how to do this

I plead into silence

waiting for directions that never explain

I stand by a circle of friends

and long to be included

but once inside the group

I stand our - awkward- different

a square peg in a round hole

Show me how to change 

I implore the darkness

skirting the edge of acceptance

I am stuck in the middle

not belonging at either end

wanting to be home in a life that's not mine

living in a house more empty than full

Show me the way out

I shout at the mirrors

wandering endless hallways

leading nowhere

Bits & Pieces

bits and pieces work together

but as a whole they don't

lines from a song drift by me

just another day becomes special

three words stay unspoken waiting the right time

shall we hold them in your heart or mine

There's a hole in my heart

the size of your smile

a space in my life

that you seem to fill

Peace of Mind

If I tell you how I feel

will you walk away

If I risk it all for you

will you meet me halfway

If I let myself fall

will you be there

Send me a song

write me a code

Show me the stars

meet me on the mountain

take time to know me

hold tight as we fall

Can I be your peace of mind

Summer somewhere

take my hand

climb a mountain

watch the sun set

talk of the past

picture the future

ocean at sun rise

in the distance a garden

a house built by you

my words on the wall

dream of a place

freedom and friendship

hearts entwined

it won't happen I know

words will stay unspoken

but sometimes just sometimes

I wish it would

Around

Build me a house

with skylights and music

a swing on the porch

white fence all around

Plant me a garden

with flowers and sunshine

a pool in the middle

green woods all around

Find me a future

with friendship and promise

a hand to hold on to

bright stars all around

untitled

Letters I will never send

Conversations I will never have

Dreams that will never come true

I thought I saw something in you

but I was wrong

If I pretend not to care

will I succeed

or only continue fooling myself
