Sunshine's Tribute

Hello sunshine
How've you been
I've been better on days like this
When the summer's dawn strikes the human eye
And I think about yesterday and wonder why
What happened to this fire so bright
The firelies blinking into the night
Was it unwelded forever by time
Or did it collapse to untouched rhyme
I remember the times we sat and gazed at the stars
Dreaming and wishing of where-you-ares
Never knowing it would all end up like this
That our universe would go so amiss
What happened to the sunset we shared
And all the hopes we boldly dared
When I see all of you minus all of me
I realize the sunrise I now see
And I think about yesterday and wonder why
The loving Joy we knew had to die
What happened to this love burning in the light
The pretty embers now fading deep into the night
Was it unsung forever by time
Or did it fall to the ground in it's prime
Hello sunshine
How've you been
I've been better on days like this
When the summer's dawn is not the same
And I wonder if I'm the one to blame.

Talking To Myself And You

I love you
I want you
To love me too
But what else
Could I ask for
Cause I know
You already do.

Someday, this song will be featured in my dream debut. I'm going to hash it out and put it on YouTube for the whole world to see sometime. When I'm done with it, that is. As written below, that's as far as I've come tonight.

It's a lovely
Beautiful, sunny
Bright day
Yes, I say
It's a lovely
Beautiful sunny
Bright day
But love I'm
I'm somehow missing something
Something that's never
Come my way
Could you help me
Possibly tell me
What I am missing
Here today
Now I see here
I hear how my heart beats
I hear it get louder
When you leave
To go far away
I think, love
I think you're missing
Somewhere you've always
Gone astray
But how, love
How could I show you
Show you how I could
Be everything you wanted
Everything that you needed
Every laugh, every cry
Please love, let me
Wipe away
Wipe away the tears from your eyes
And just maybe,
Maybe then you will see
All you ever wanted
And all you ever needed
All along it was me
Someone here
Someone here beside you
All of your days.

Goodbye

Well maybe I can't hate you,
I love you so much
But I'm sick of this sweet talk
That's all it is
I'm tired of you pretending
And I'm not buying your lies
We always try to make it work
Until something dies
My spirit is gone, it's broken
Because of all the words you've spoken
I wish that I could go back
When everything was great
Instead of all the love I had for you
I wish I'd learned to hate
Now nothing is the same
There's no name for you and I
Except Goodbye.

The Reason

I'm so far from then

Now I'm looking back

And I wish with all my heart

I had realized the truth from the first moment

The day you arrived here

That you were the one

Who rearranged my life

Renewed my steadfast soul

You took up all the pieces of my broken heart

And made it for one whole.

Somehow all is right again

Even more than I could have hoped

Or even dared to dream about

For little did I believe

That trust would e'er reenter in

That my heart could ever feel

Bigger than the whole world

So full of joy that I could burst

With such incandescent happiness

For you gave me the best gift

That took me by surprise

Love unconditional forever and always

From the moment you looked deep in my eyes

We are one for all eternity

My own self is now forgotten

Because all of me is part of you

I swear your anything is better than everything

You are my sunset and my sunrise

My love is yours for all of time

Nothing else has so completely changed

This dark void to a bright promise

You are the reason I am alive.

Waits.
Waits for the announcement.
The one she has been waiting for.
The drumroll heard from South Carolina
Drifts upward and lifts her spirit high.
She lets out her breath as she waits
Yet another hour for the news.
The news of the heroes far,
Far away from their native land.
The youth who in her eyes are leaders;
Those footsteps she strives to follow in.
The champion who owns her heart
Waits still with booming in his ears.
She longs to hear of his victory.

Renewed

Oh God,
I know only You can fill
This emptiness inside of me
Take this loneliness away
Remake my life starting today
I know I moved far from You
Bring me back where I belong
With You in your loving arms
Keeping me safe,
Protecting me from harm
Set me straight on the narrow path
Make sure I don't move
To the right or to the left
Renew my soul, this void inside
Caused by things I tried
To do on my own
But now I know it's impossible
To live my life alone.

Possibility

For him who can't be named...

I'm lying awake at night and I think
It's all over again, I've reached the brink
Something we never even talked about
'Cause whenever you came in, I went out
But I know we have a spark, some chemistry
Now tell me, did you ever consider the possibility
Of me starting with you, and you ending up with me?
Oh, just imagine everything that we could be
All you ever dreamed of, both of us in love
I'm not asking you to be pretending
That would just make for an unhappy ending
Just look into your heart and find what's true
And maybe you'll discover that you love me too
In the meantime I have to tell you what I feel
It's something so right and I gotta know it's real
Whoa, I know that it sounds so cliche
But I fall in love with you everyday
And I'm not sure exactly how
Thinking of you here and now.

You'll Be Smiling Later

I wrote this song after a heart-wrenching experience a few months ago, knowing that somehow, everything would end up right again.

And it is.

Believe me

If there was any other way

I would take it

Oh Lord, you have no idea

How much I wish there was

Now I sit here

In this room in the silence

That outwardly betrays my feelings

Oh God how I wish I could quiet

The noise deep inside

Wreathing, racking every breath

I am heaving

Here in the darkness

The shadows run by

Knowing all along

Where we're going

Now alone in this moment

I'll remember why

When your love is forever

There's a reason all will be better

Though it's hard to be strong now

You'll be smiling later

I promise, you'll get through this

You'll be smiling later.

Taught by love

Tears freely flowing down my face
I want to love you, to feel your warm embrace
I wanted you to stay,
To be here forever and a day
Because I've never met anyone quite like you
You've taught me things about myself I never even knew
You showed me how to break out of my shell
How many lessons I've learned from you, I can't tell
But you made me live again
Taught me to conquer my pain
You've opened up a door
I don't cry on the inside anymore
Now I express my feelings
And with them come the healings
I had given up hope on,
Now dismal dark is gone.

Not Anymore

It turns out that I was wrong
What I had believed all along
Once there was a time when I knew you
Now all that you called love proves untrue
After all this time
Can't deny that I was blind
Now everything I see
Is the fool you made of me
Your lies were the thing you had me chasing
So don't be surprised to hear my heart is breaking
Because you dared cut me to the core
I don't believe in you anymore.

Destiny

Somewhere out there
Lies what you always dreamed of
Somewhere out there
Lies the life we will share
Somewhere out there
Is a future calling your name
He wants you to trust and see
Everything you were made to be
I've seen it with my own two eyes
Your beauty that you try to disguise
Do you know you or yourself better than I do?
That who you are inside is what it comes down to?
How pure and how innocent you are
Although you may not think so
I can see it when you look at me
With those dark amber prisms
Drifting a thousand miles away
All along I knew your heart was here
And now this day please remember
Somewhere out there
Lies what He's planned for you
You're a thousand miles away tonight
To do great things for Him
Somewhere out there
Is a girl whispering her prayers for you
Somewhere out there
He holds your awesome destiny.

Once upon a time...
In a far away land, there lived an elf.
But not just any elf.
This elf was someone very special.
This elf was an elfin-maiden, and in all the land there lived none so lovely and noble as she.
But enough of all that. This elfin-maiden can kick some serious butt at kenpo karate, so be sure to stay on her good side...but if you can't manage to do that, you'd better make sure the Force is with you whenever you get near her.
This elfin-maiden loves reading, because she learned from an early age that reading = learning.
Although some would diagree with this opinion, I may point out that even if one reads a book that has no real educational value whatsoever, he or she will have learned never to read that book again after they put it down.
This elfin-maiden is a health food nut with a major sweet tooth, although those who don't know better would classify her as a junk food junkie.
This elfin-maiden now enjoys research, as a result of her participation in debate club the past nine months. Funny how finding one's passion makes one so love the hard work that goes into it.
This elfin-maiden is Irish. Irish to the core, with red hair, although in more ways than one she could also pass as part mexican or asian, with the exception of her appearance. Looks can be decieving, you know.
This elfin-maiden jumps at every chance she gets to use a sword, bayonette, or crossbow. She often borrows them from Aragorn, although she will someday soon own a beautiful weapon of her own to practice with.
This elfin-maiden is going to teach Aragorn to ride a skateboard upon his safe arrival back from that battle in the humid, barren place in the middle of Mordor known as South Carolina. He will conquer the Dark Power.
This elfin-maiden will record many an ancient tale of old in new books so that the heroes and battles and romances will never be forgotten by those that dwell in the Shire.
And just in case you were wondering, this elfin-maiden now has complete reign over this region named Placated By Post.
She will now oversee Placated so that no secrets of the Ring shall fall into the enemy's hands.
Welcome her, good people of Blogspot!
