When I'm Sad

I keep my thoughts inside
Not everyone has to know
The secrets that I just hold
emotions I can't let go.

My heart may skip a beat
a whimper or a sigh
Does anyone want to listen
or let the time go by?

Silence sets me free
As you kiss the pain away
One moment at a time
to make it through the day.

An Affair With Flowers

BURST OF FAIRY BLOOMS

one day i saw a flower
she whispered to my ear
"the fairies are quite pretty
she happens to be near."

i thought i saw one flying
next to my flower friend
but all i saw abuzzing
was nothing to get bent.

just butterflies pollinating
and buzzing about was a bee
oh, where could be a fairy
that i can truly see?

again the flower whispered
"the fairies are quite near"
and suddenly i just realized
she was talking about me!
