my belief in love

hidden in a place far away
memories in my heart they now stay
the way your eyes lit my life
how your absence cut like a knife
if only i could forget and not think of
you stole my belief in love

after the hurricane

when the tears no longer form

when the feelings disappear

when your heart doesn't feel

a time to forget

a time to move on

a time to pick up the pieces

because of a life of lies

because of the selfishness

because it wasn't real

after the fear

after the hate

after the hurricane

And the cat name goes to...

Will it be...

A) Mrs. Friskas

B) Charlotte

C) Aqua / Aquamarine (Miss Marine)

Stay tuned!

the new america

real, unabated pride

a turning of the tide

we can conquer hate

end the racially tinged debate

be the change you want to see

know the definition of free

fight for every right

hope lights up the night

the end of an era

welcome to the new america

VOTE!

Get out there and VOTE!

within reach

i want to remember this

the taste of your lips as we kiss

all i can think of is you

above us a shimmering sky painted blue

waves break against the beach

my dreams almost within reach

after the fire

surrounded by ashes and smoke

unable to breathe, on the air you choke

all that remains is a smoldering fire

burning away the life of a liar

a legacy that has been charred

your heart irreparably scarred
