inspiration from my dreams.

here are a few of my pieces (feel free to give any constructive criticism/feedback:

array

i thought i saw your face today
all i can say
my heart went into an array

spilling out


i'm spilling out
like a cup trapped under a waterfall
drowning in my thoughts

secrets


all i can think of is kissing you
its almost as if angels are passing secrets between my lips
giddily hoping for some in return

melody


i don't mind you strumming on my heart strings
just promise me you'll play the whole song through
