I am fun. I am a musician. I am crazy. I am sexy. I am a poet. I am alone. I am free. I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I am loved. I am a leader. I am a writer. I am dancing. I am. I am. I AM.

The Falconers Glove
RCW


I'm hugging myself again
But now, now it’s different
Different thoughts run through my mind
Different motives grip my soul
I feel the need rising inside again
What to do? What to say?
Is it real?
Is it only trying to fill that void?
The void deep inside of me?
Different emotions stir my convictions
Different needs change my actions
I feel the need rising inside again
What to do? What to say?
Neither can I answer
Nor might I ever be able to
Friendship lies deep in my soul
Does that need lie deeper?
What to do? What to say?
Neither can I answer

Headphones
RCW


I walk down these halls alone
As I walk I weave through the crowd
My headphones on, hugging myself
The don't see me, or they don't want to
I don't want them to
Not passed the headphones
Not passed the rally shirts and the made up smiles
I sit in my classes alone
As I tilt my head to see around theirs
My headphones on, hugging myself
They don't know me, or they don't want to
I don't want them to
Not passed the headphones
Not passed the funny jokes and the thankful goodbyes
I want all or nothing
I want to be free
To be free to fly and free to soar
They hold my freedom
But only because I let them
No lying anymore
Full weight out
Out to truth
Out to freedom

The Bird and The Sun
RCW


Does the Bird doubt that the Sun shines?
Does the Bird forget when the clouds come?
Forget that behind them
The most wonderful warmth is
Waiting for the Bird
Yes, the Bird does doubt that the Sun shines
Yes, the Bird forgets when the clouds come
The Bird forgets in fear
In doubt that the brilliance of the Sun
Could actually be true
The doubt lies within the Bird
It is the Bird who forgets
The Bird who doubts itself
For the Bird is not worthy
The Bird does not deserve
The brilliance of the Sun that shines
Upon the Bird’s wings
And the Bird will doubt
And the Bird will forget
But the Sun is constant
And through that doubt
Through those clouds
It shines and shines on through
The Bird will learn with time
And some day the Bird will fly
It will soar to the Sun
And the Bird and the Sun
They shall doubt no more
Together

Believe
RCW


I'm here to catch you when you fall
Don't be afraid to let go of that wall
I'm strong, I'm here, I won't go away
I swear to you that I'm here to stay
Trust in me, I won't let you down
When you're afraid, when you frown
I'm here to make you laugh again
To make sure you know you're my best friend
My best friend and my soul's deepest love
You make my heart fly higher than a dove
You're scared, you're hurt, you're in pain
I'm waiting to let you know, you don't love in vain
I miss you, you miss me, we miss each other together
But this emptiness inside us will not last forever
Soon, my love, we will walk hand in hand
Together down that long forgotten strand
Of long distance lovers who come and meet
Who have longed to kiss, longed to greet
And someday we will not leave
But until then you must believe

Special
RCW


I hope you know you're special
Because you really are
You make my heart jump
And fly so high and far
You give me hope
You give me life
You give me everything
You are so very special
So very special to me

I Tell You
RCW


I tell you over and over
Just what you mean to me
I tell you of the many things
That everyday I see
I tell you that they can't compare
With you, who is so stunning and fair
I tell you, you are beautiful
And my every dream come true
I tell you, you are my everything
And that I do love you
I tell you that I've never lied
And that all of this is true
I thank you for being here for me
I truly do love you

I Love You
RCW


I love you with my heart and my soul
With every ounce of my being
The thought of you makes me smile
It makes my world better
The sound of your voice stuns me in to silence
A satisfied, amazed silence
Thinking of your eyes
I cannot but believe I have seen the most beautiful thing on earth
Remembering your touch
I cannot but hope for more
Because those few days I spent with you
Were the best days of my life
They made me whole
They made me complete
And you make me complete
And your smile makes me whole
Your soul makes me wonder
Your joy makes me think
Your love makes me tremble
Tremble for the power of it shocks me
It is unbelievable
It moves me even now
It gives me hope even now
Some day, some day
Let me hold you
Let my every wish and dream in this lifetime come true
Give me a chance, my beautiful Sunshine
Let me show you what your light has done for me
For it has changed my world
It has altered my life
It has shaped my soul
Let me touch you
Let me shape yours
For I love you
I love you

Upon My Face
RCW


Sunshine is glowing upon my face
A gentle wind blows my way
Memories flow back and forth through my mind
Remembering her touch, her caress
Remembering the longing, the need
Remembering how it was not filled
Back then the skies were dark and dim
The wind was violent and angry
But now, now the sun shines upon my face
The sunshine enfolds me
Warms me
Sunshine upon my face

Analise
RCW


I sit here
They say your name
They're talking about you
They say how wonderful you are
All that I can do is sit here
Sit here and smile
But I want to cry
I want to call your name out
I want to say how much I miss you
But they know, they know
I want to scream
I miss you, I always do
I sigh, I breathe, I smile again
They are right...
You are wonderful

*Click*
The phone falls from my hand
I start to cry
Your voice is gone
My hope, my joy, my soul disappears
It was so close, so within my grasp
When I closed my eyes I could see you
Sitting there, a smile upon your face
And I miss you
I miss you each an every day
Distance is so harsh
It teases you with
Long distance calls and sweet letters
With the sound of a voice
And the curve of her writing
So far away
I feel so alone
I want to call you
I want to talk for another hour
And another and another
I want to see you everyday
I want to be around you
I want, I want, I want
But I don’t get anything
Another two weeks
I won’t hear your voice
It hurts me
Another four months
I won’t see your face
It hurts me
My life, my love, my soul
Are all confused
So messed up
You are the shinning light
The one who scares away my darkness
And you are down there
And you don’t want me
I sigh, I breathe
I try to understand
To change
Change is a very difficult and complex thing
It seems very simple
It’s not
Change
I try

Sitting Here
RCW


Sitting here, looking at a picture of you
Looking at a picture of you and him
And you look right
Man and woman, that’s right
Isn’t it?
But I want you to be wrong
I want you to be right with me
Woman and woman
Hand in hand
Walking through the moonlight
Sitting on a the bench and staring at the stars
I want you to be wrong
But you hold him so close
You hold him so tight against you
You are happy
A happiness I have not seen in a long time
My memory brings you sadness
I’m sorry, I am
You stand there so beautiful
Perfect in everyway
Unbelievably gorgeous
But your hand is around his waist
Not mine
And your face is touching his
Not mine
And that arm around your shoulder is
Not mine
You look right
You are with him
You are near him, together with him
How can I be right
You two seem so right
I want you to be wrong
I want to sit next to you
I want to lay my head on your shoulder
As we lie in the bus driving for hours
I want you to touch your hand to my leg
As we sit eating breakfast together
I want to kiss your neck as we stand hugging
Saying a long good bye
But you are standing with him
And you are strong with him
So brave, so proud
With him
And you are afraid with me
And you are in pain with me
So scared, so nervous
With me
You seem so right
I want you to be wrong
I want to walk with you early in the morning
I want to unify our souls in prayer
I want to caress your hair softly as your head lies in my lap
I want you to miss me
To want to be with me
But you aren’t wrong
You seem so right
I seem so wrong
I seem so out of place
I am in some distant land
So far away from your beauty
So far away from your love
But we are not right
Not now
We are wrong
You are right
The two of you are right
Standing there in your sleek purple dress
You are amazing
He stands holding you close
I want you to be wrong
I want to be right
I want our eyes to connect
To bring us closer
Like a gravitational pull
I want your arms to reach out to hold me
To pull me close
To want me and to hunger for me
But they hunger for only him
They want only him
I want you to be wrong
I want to be right
Only him
Why only him?
Why not me?
I want you to be wrong
I want to be right
As I sit here all alone
I know that you are with him
I know that you want him
To be with him
To hold him
Only him
And as I sit here all alone
I know that you don’t want me
I know that I am wrong
But that doesn’t make the feeling stop
That doesn’t make the hurt go away
We have shared some wonderful moments
Some of the best memories of my life
And I want to keep creating these
Every moment of my life
But you would have to be wrong
And you look so right
You are so right
With him
And so wrong
With me
I want you to be wrong
With him
I want you to be right
With me
Love conquers all
Except perhaps distance
The physical is a necessity
In a world that is so cold
You need someone to hold you
To say that you’re alright
And I would do anything to be there
To tell you sweet goodnight
But I am far away
In some unforgotten land
A place where demons play with me
Pretending to be friends
And you are in heaven
While I am drowning deep below
And you would do anything to save me
Except to touch him with that blow
Because when you hurt him
It carries on to you
And you can feel that pain
If he feels it too
And I want you to be wrong
I want you to feel my pain
I want you not to be able to bare
The things inside my head
Because if we were right
You would know what I am thinking
And you would stop this pain
You would make it go away
But we are not right
Forever not right
We are wrong
And you are right
He is right
