On any other day
the covers would be pulled to my chin
and I would sleep the sun away
On any other day
my tears would flow from my cheeks
Niagra Falls with pools so deep
and I would cry my dreams away.
On any other day
the rain would fall steadfast,
pounding fists of the dead and dreary.
On any other day
the sky is dark.
I've seen the dim and dreary
tasted the decadence of the weak and weary
I've danced the storms impending fury
and stripped the leaves of love life's journey.
With every coming song I sang
I danced the dismal night away.
And with this silent tune I hum
I wait for the sun to play along.

Poem: Sometimes
by Devin
Sometimes I wish you would smile,
when I am happy,
when I am strong
Sometimes I wish your hands would lift me farther when I am soaring
Sometimes I wish you wouldn't notice my flaws
It would be nice,
to have the sun sparkle on my accomplishments
and stars smiles at my every delight.
Sometimes, when I am down
It would be nice to let the shades of the willow tree
hide my shame from all to see
Sometimes I wish you'd notice
my tears like the raindrops on swollen window panes
Sometimes I wish you'd be proud of me
When I am smiling
When I am laughing
When I am glowing
When I am happy.
And sometimes I dream
that you're blind to the shadows on the other side of me.
Sometimes I wish you would smile,
when I am happy,
when I am strong
Sometimes I wish your hands would lift me farther when I am soaring
Sometimes I wish you wouldn't notice my flaws
It would be nice,
to have the sun sparkle on my accomplishments
and stars smiles at my every delight.
Sometimes, when I am down
It would be nice to let the shades of the willow tree
hide my shame from all to see
Sometimes I wish you'd notice
my tears like the raindrops on swollen window panes
Sometimes I wish you'd be proud of me
When I am smiling
When I am laughing
When I am glowing
When I am happy.
And sometimes I dream
that you're blind to the shadows on the other side of me.
Poem: Lonesome Cries Upon My Tears
by Devin
His kiss is in the wind,
A soft breeze across my lips.
His tears are in the rain
Soaking my heart in the unrelenting storm.
His smile is in the sunshine
As I sit in the garden and watch the butterflies.
His praise is in the sunrays that beat down on my back,
I smile when I remember you.
Your eyes are in the stars
Twinkling every time I catch your gaze.
Your arms are my sheets at night
When I dream of our lazy afternoons.
My tears are the only memory
Of the past I once called love.
I’m lonesome when I reminisce upon our ending.
I cry when I remember how you once felt.
I’m tired when I dream of falling asleep in your arms.
I’m sad when I know that I still love you
And that I still want you back.
But now that time has passed,
I know you never loved me,
Not nearly as the passing fortnights
And I wish upon the every star
That I can just forget the memories.
His kiss is in the wind,
A soft breeze across my lips.
His tears are in the rain
Soaking my heart in the unrelenting storm.
His smile is in the sunshine
As I sit in the garden and watch the butterflies.
His praise is in the sunrays that beat down on my back,
I smile when I remember you.
Your eyes are in the stars
Twinkling every time I catch your gaze.
Your arms are my sheets at night
When I dream of our lazy afternoons.
My tears are the only memory
Of the past I once called love.
I’m lonesome when I reminisce upon our ending.
I cry when I remember how you once felt.
I’m tired when I dream of falling asleep in your arms.
I’m sad when I know that I still love you
And that I still want you back.
But now that time has passed,
I know you never loved me,
Not nearly as the passing fortnights
And I wish upon the every star
That I can just forget the memories.
Poem: Beautiful You
by Devin
I surrender your love,
For mine was never truth
Her soul forever lost in the heavens
I cry,
We hold each other in solemn remorse
Your salty tears run down my flesh.
We cry.
For you.
For me.
For her.
You loved her honest and true
Now all I want is happiness for you.
I beg to see the wholesome smile upon your face.
But it’s too late.
I long to give her one last hug,
Fill her with strength,
Tell her she’s loved
And help her move on with courage.
I wrote that poem December 14th, 2004 in honor of my beautiful friend, Alicia Ann Pekari. She died of acute stomach cancer at the age of 16.
I surrender your love,
For mine was never truth
Her soul forever lost in the heavens
I cry,
We hold each other in solemn remorse
Your salty tears run down my flesh.

For her.
You loved her honest and true
Now all I want is happiness for you.

But it’s too late.
I long to give her one last hug,
Fill her with strength,
Tell her she’s loved
And help her move on with courage.
