 He goes back to the house and says to the woman,
 "Wait, I'm your husband!" She replies giving him a dirty look, "So why did you run?"



NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god, I love Irony!!!!

I Found You

I Found You

I loved you before I met you

You were always in my heart

I didn't know you were a part of me

That had somehow been torn apart.

I only know the world made sense

For the first time in my life

The day that I first saw your face

And peace swallowed up my strife.

I saw myself inside your eyes

And you were there in mine

And I knew that I loved you

And would till the end of time.

But when time ends and eternity starts

Our real life will begin

And we will join as one once more

Like we have always been.

I don't understand the "whys" or "wheres"

I don't pretend I do

I just know I found myself

The day that I found you.

The Princess and the Prince

soundtrack

The Princess and the Prince

Once upon a time on earth

There came a child of royal birth

A girl so sweet and yet so shy

If one approached her, she would cry.

She didn't fit into the world

And so she was a lonely girl

Living in a world of books

While guardians gave her dirty looks.

They couldn't understand why she

Could not be like they were, you see

But she could not be as they were

She could only be like her.

And as she grew, she changed a bit

Till none of her old clothes would fit

Her boyish form had changed to girl

And she was thrust into the world.

A world where everything was strange

And told her that she, too, must change

And though she tried to please her peers

She knew she'd never fit in here.

They had their fun, they teased and taunted

But the Princess knew she was not wanted

Not in the way she needed so

And her every question was answered, no.

She lost herself in poetry

And saw things others could not see

She walked in worlds unseen by blind

Folk who'd never be her kind.

The myth, the legend, the fairy tale

These things would make her sad heart well

Her world comprised of fantasy

That only her dark eyes could see.

And when she'd grown to womanhood

She looked to find a love so good

But only ogres and trolls she found

Who smashed her sweet heart to the ground.

And still she searched and still she sought

And duels for her love were fought

But when the victor claimed his prize

She found his heart was full of lies.

What is a princess without a prince?

What good is love if it makes you wince?

And run and hide in silent tears

While life marched on down roads for years?

The princess soon gave up her quest

Though she had passed each trial and test

And kept her honor and kept her stance

But still dreamed at night of sweet romance.

And then one night, out of a dream

A man appeared out of the mist, it seemed

And fell to his knees at her bedside

And watched her as she slept and sighed.

"Sweet Princess, open up your eyes

I have been sent with a surprise

Your heart has pleaded and your plea was heard."

And she opened her eyes but said not a word.

"I came to love you and make you glad

Your heart has been broken and shattered and sad

And the God up in Heaven and the angels who cheer

Have chosen me for you and have sent me here."

"Are you a prince?" at last she spoke

And her dark eyes lit up with hope

But he hung his head and  just said, "No."

And stood to his feet and turned to go.

"Wait!" she cried, "Please do not leave."

And it broke his heart to see her grieve

"If you're not a prince, I do not care."

And he stopped and stood in silence, there.

"I'm not a princess." she murmured low

"I've never thought I was, you know

They called me "princess" when I was young

But in bitter tones and with words that stung.

They wanted me to be like them

Though their thoughts were dull and their dreams were dim

And I could not conform to those

Who lived that half life that they chose.

And so they turned their backs on me

Turned up their noses so I would see 

And know I'd never be a part

Of that pair of guardians that had no heart.

They called me "Princess" but it was a smear

And said in loathing and with a sneer

And I knew no better than to believe the lie

And they laughed at my ignorance with disdain in their eye.

So all my life, I've been alone

With no family and no loving home

Looking for someone who was just like me

A prince without anything but his royalty.

I'm not a princess, I know that now

I'm just a girl who survived somehow

And lived and learned and loved no one

 But the dream in my heart and the man in my song."

And the man turned round and wore a smile

And he stood and he watched her for such a long while

Then he knelt beside her and took her hand

"No prince am I but just a man

And a man who was lonely and looking, like you

For someone to love and love me so true

I have never fit in, I have never conformed

I was taunted with insults from the day I was born.

I was sneered at for being who I chose to be

And never knew love for just being me

They called me a "prince" upon his high horse

And I chose to be royal but I wasn't, of course."

And the woman laughed and said "It's true!"

"You're just like me, I'm just like you!"

"Why have I never seen your face?

Why have you never found this place?"

And the man took her into his arms

No prince but crowned with many charms

And said, "Love, I don't know why or how

I haven't been here but I am here now."

And the sad girl who cried and the boy who felt low

Loved each other with love that few ever know

And they live in a dream world that no one has dreamed since

The girl they called "Princess and the boy they called Prince."

Seeds, Lost and Found

thunderstorm

Seeds, Lost and Found


I do not know why I was never afraid of storms
Why I longed for them, looked for them, prayed for them
Needing to feel that electrical charge in the air,
That blinding white lightning, that menacing roar
That violent thrusting of a great downpour.

Sans umbrella, I would run in the rain
Wade in the water, play in the mud
Dare the Heavens to chastise my defiance,
Fling out my arms and beg angels to dance
For no mortal would, like me, take a chance.

And so I grew from girl to woman
Always searching, always wanting
Always needing, always grieving
Always lonely with no love around
Always lost and never found.

And then I saw with eyes wide open
The strangest thing, the sweetest thing
So like a dream but not a dream
A dream come true like a fond wish granted
My tears turned to seeds and those seeds then were planted.

And I watered  them and I tended them
I cared for them like the gardener of Eden
Sometimes a seed would sprout out of the dirt
And I would watch hopefully with tears in my eye
Only to see it soon wither and die.

Disappointment was the cloak I wore
Dark with despair and disconsolate
Dangerously daring and almost past caring
I ran then from love for I could no longer take
Watching what I thought was real turn to fake.

So I pretended that I didn't care 
Played with the tigers and ran with the lions
An innocent lost in the valley of shadows
Trying so hard to be found in this world
But just a face in the crowd of lost boys and girls.

We had our fun out on the run
Defying death and loathing life
Gothic angels with bent halos
Seeking for shelter or a hole in the ground
But really, just dying to somehow be found.

And then one day after years of dying
For life had evaded and love had perished stillborn
I turned a corner  that I had never turned
And I saw the face that my soul had known
On a plant that sprang up from those tears I had sown. 

The face of a lost boy who wandered like me
Looking for something that he could never find
Standing before doors that were slammed in his face
Stinging from weapons of words to his heart
Our hands clasped as though they had not been apart.

His mouth, my mouth devoured with kisses
His eyes, my eyes would not look away from
His body, my body could not wait to make love to
His heart, my heart heard without making a sound
And this lost girl and that lost boy had finally been found.

In a world of madness, we had found our sanity
In a world of dragons, we had found our swords
In a world of darkness, we had found our light
In a world of lack filled with just empty shelves
We had found that love lived, we had found ourselves.

The lost boy and I who had both planted seeds
When we were just children and abandoned to weeds
When no love would spring up from our careful tending
Now flourished and nourished and scenting the air
He was my seed, I was his, born of dreams, standing there.
