Moon

See the moon, see how it shines

See how it glows for yours and mine

It shines for love, for lust, for humor

It shines for sadness, for anger, for rumor

See the moon, see how it shines

See how it glows, floating, devine

Mermaid

If I could swim

through out the seas

would you follow and swim with me?

If I could flop like a fish out of water

would your heart go pitter patter?

If I could jump like fish always do

would life always be just me and you?

Then look at me now and see what you see.

If it isn't enough you're not the one for me.

Always let you know, never let you go

If I were a person who was strong and wise and bold, hair that waves in the wind and a heart of gold, you would see me, you would, from far away places. You'd follow my shine, follow it far, through millions of faces. You'd find me, you would, search me out, hug me, hold me. You would love me, me only, and in my eyes you would see that I would equally love you as much and I would always let you know and never let you go.

someone

God, give me someone better than the someone's you have given me so far, because they are just not the someone I am looking for.

Oh the places I would go

Oh the places I would go...

Beautiful places full of silence that isn't lonely. Full of dreaming senses and happy endings. Full of lovers fights that end in blissful passion.

Oh the places I would go...

If I could. I would fly away by night and sleep among the clouds and birds and twinkly stars. I'd give anything to walk on sandy beaches surrounded by day flowers and sweet grass. I would sing songs of beauty and peace, a poetic melody.

Oh the places I would go...

The Painting

Brush strokes swirl across the canvas

purple, yellow, pink and red

painting images from my head

paint brush splats in random places

white, black, green and blue

emotions flow like the summer dew

a new brush outlines several shapes

a smile, the hair, a button, and more

a story of sorts in the paint I pour

the finished product stands a new

a glint, a glimmer, a shine, a light

my painting was strong painted with all my might

Stress

Stress, it's a funny thing indeed

it comes and goes in bits and fits

but luckily I know exactly what I need.

A glass of wine and a late night movie

a bowl of ice cream and a friend that's goofy.

Fake finger nails that never stay on.

A medium pizza that's almost gone.

A cat that purrs and flicks its tail.

A story so scary that I turn pale.

A weekend getaway on my couch

without these things I's be a stressed out grouch.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

What's in a name? Does it always match up to who you are or who you are going to be? Mine does. My name is the perfect name for me, I feel, because it is short, like me, easy to say which matches my easy going personality, and is sweet like all the chocolate I have consumed in my life. It is simple in the way it is spelled, not fancy like the french way but simple like me, a person who chooses to wear converse instead of heels. A person who wears black because it works with anything and who watches too much TV. Amy, a simple, short, sweet name that encompasses all that is me. My mom told me, one day, that she had planned to name me blaire. When I heard this I thought, would I be a different person if I had been Blaire? Blaire sounds fancy not simple. It sounds snobby not sweet, and in all honesty I wonder if a Blaire would be taller. But I am not Blaire, I am Amy, and in a way I think it is perfect. It fits me like my converse fit on my feet.
