bon anniversaire.

My fellow deux-dichter is having his birthday today, so I wanted to write something in honour of him. Well, I don't know you half as well as I'd like to, but what I do know is that your freaking hilarious, creative, smart, musical, an amazing song writer, caring, and sweet as lollipops.

I hope that we can meet and be real "buddies for keeps," I hope that your inspiration never dies and that you may always find and achieve what you're looking for in life.

I love you lots!!

In My Dream

Since I was 10 I had black-outs, due to not enough circulation of blood to my brain. Sometimes I've seen things and remembered them. One time, I saw a forest area with lots of grass and giant trees. Butterflies flew all around me, and the whole area gave me the feeling of tranquility. One day while on an outing, I ended up in that exact place..with this nostalgic, deja-vu-ish feeling, I knew I'd been to this place, though not knowing how or when. Everyone was telling me I was wrong, but deep down inside I knew I'd been there before..........


In My Dream

Trees, tall as giants
Reaching up into the sky
Butterflies fly beautifully
All around me
This place of utter tranquility
This place I lie
In my dreams
Voices whisper to me
But not audible enough
To understand

I wake up
But the vision is still vivid
In my mind
I don’t believe it to be true
Or to find it in the blue

Aimlessly walking
Clearly I see this place
I feel I’ve known for a lifetime
I know it well
Though I don’t know how
It has trees tall as giants
Butterflies fill the air
So peaceful and serene
In the grass I lie
Voices whisper to me
But not audible enough to understand

I’m living my dream
I’m feeling it come to life
They all say I’m wrong
But I know
I feel
That I’ve been here before
In my dream..

You

This is the first song I ever wrote .. I now present it to you in its original form! :D

You

You gave me light in my eyes
You gave me reason to live life
You're the wind in my existence
You’re what keeps me alive

I feigned a sense of direction
Like I knew my way, yet with no perception
Of life and its complexities, intricacies
Mystery and confusion lay before me

Time stood still
Peace of mind nowhere to be found
My mind distorted, my soul contorted
I fall, I faint, I fail, I fall to the ground

Then I met you and my eyes were opened
Purpose and reason reappeared
You showed me there was more
You dispelled my fears, made my life clear

You calmed my broken mind
The color in the worlds of gray
Through the sleepless nights you were repose
You're more than I could ever portray

Hold my hand
We walk arm in arm
We’ll leave our footprints in the sand

Side by side
There is no way I can leave you
Please just understand
