There was just something about his eyes. Leia just couldn't look away, no matter how hard she tried.
She was entranced.
She was beginning to get worried now. His coy smile was beginning to broaden into a wide toothy grin.
He stepped towards her and held out his left hand palm up. Her eyes flickered between his eyes and his hand.
Slowly and un-surely she lifted her right hand and placed it gently in his left. She smiled as his hand enclosed hers.
Smiling, gaze heavily upon each other; they stepped closer to one another. She placed her free hand on his shoulder, while he placed his on her hip and drew her close
Just then the music started to play...
and they danced.

The garden is more beautiful then any other year
Because you lie in it
The beauty of your mind and soul is shown in every brilliant colour and every delicate petal
You strength and will emblazoned in every steam
Your suprising grace and compassion is sown in every smooth and fluid leaf
You were like the flowers you have now become
Bloomed and blossomed
Radiant and wonderful
But faded far too fast
Before your time
When you left you broke my heart
But with every flower I see your face
And every spring your garden
Is the only one I see
Broken
The beer caps littered the space around where you lay
The bottles, smashed, lay in a heap beside the wall
I crouch crying in the corner, where you made me fall
I wish that I never did exist at all
Oh god help me from hittin' the ground the way you hit me everyday, in every way
The pain just never goes away
See
See the picture she paints of him
See how she hangs it on the wall
See how she laughs at him
See how she makes him fall
Ray
Part I
The rust drifted to the ground as Ray stopped his vintage Dodge truck in front of Gerrid's Bar & Grill at the top of main street. He sat sweating behind the wheel for a minute before shutting it off. Ray turned the key, pulled it out and swung the door open. His wrinkled tan cowboy boots sent dust swirling as he stepped to the ground. He tipped his white cowboy hat back on his head as he slauntered towards the bar & grill. Ray paused at the door and swung it open gently.
The room was dimly lit and empty. The bartender was prepping for the crowd that evening. All the chairs and stools were still turned upside down on the tables from the night before. Ray walked slowly and rigidly towards the private members only room at the back. He wiped his sweaty hands on the back of his Levi's. His mouth was as dry as the Sahara as his fingers stretched towards the door handle. Just then the door flew open and he was dragged inside. The room was in complete darkness and he stretched out his arms to find the hands that pulled him in there. A light flickered on. His eyes adjusted to the sudden arrival of the light. The room was bare except for one exposed bulb dangling loosely from the ceiling, the pull chain swinging haphazardly beside it. And in the corner was a hulking, huddled figure, crouching with its nose lightly grazing the seam of the two walls. Waiting until the moment Ray would begin to speak.
Part II
Ray stared in horror at the restrained hulking figure in it's black tailor made suit, shining black shoes and brown hair that was not tamed. His mind travelled back to the afternoon before when he had found only a single piece of mail in mailbox. It was a 4x6 snow white piece of paper, folded in half with a simple message inside.
Go to Gerrid's Bar & Grill at 7am sharp!
Go directly to the back room, someone will meet you there.
He was puzzled as all hell when he first read the note but decided to go anyway. Now his regret consumed him as he finally opened his mouth to speak...
Blood {Old Screen name}
It flows through my veins
It flows through my heart
If it spills on the ground
Could you tell it apart?
Untitled {New Screen name}
I feel like a ghost of the girl I used to be
The girl I really am
The girl I long to be
Untitled
I left my heart
Broken
Open
Bleeding before you
I'm alone here with out you
But I still see you in my dreams
Knowing that you will never come back to see me
So everyday and night
The life is ripped from me
And everyday I struggle through without you
To live the life you made for me
Without that smile you used to smile at me
As I fail to scream
Beat
Shopping at the Mercedes five and dime
Beneath an old and beaten sign
My mind is high as I pass by
On the Arlin line again
Bell
And the bell tolled
It struck for midnight
Searched for midnight
And the bell tolls for your death
Cause you never heeded
Cause you never needed
To be touched by a human soul
Human soul
The wind died the banshee cried
The night drifted, waited, and wandered for you soul
Your soul can save the livid
But can it save the dying, thus for thee
Can you see me?
Can you find me in the fog?
Can you get me before I am swallowed by the smog?
Are these useless questions?
To be questioned and then questioned
Or to be quested and re-quested?
Shoot me before I die
While I am livid, kill me and then flee
Leaving me to rot and die
Alone I shall rot and die
And the nights shifted
The fogs lifted
And alone I shall rot and die
Without you around
I watched you walk away
You turned back once when you left that place
You�ll be back in another day, like today
Exams are here and gone again
They closed it up and the board surrounds
I can�t imagine goin� on for years
Without you around
When you�re gone
I can�t help learnin�
All the things I should be yearnin�
I should be burnin� the midnight oil
On some old project
Or somethin� else
I should be learnin� about the law
On drivin� facts before I take the car
Maybe fractions or rise and fall
It all seems stupid
Without you around
We�re headin� for a new destination
The fall is yet to come
Gatherin� summer stories to share all around
You know I�ll miss you with everythin� I have
You�re leavin� now - I understand
Cause no matter what we�ll never walk those halls again
When you�re gone
The Colours
She said the world was black and grey
Because they all went away
She stood by the window all day long
And then one day she heard a song
She rushed and flung open the door
And felt the grey drift to the floor
Colour drifted in everywhere
And she felt that she could move on from there
End
And all the while the world keeps spinnin'
Just keeps goin' round
All the while the world stops spinnin'
Just stops goin' round
Days
Where has the day gone
It was to be quite long
Cut short by setting sun
Everything yet to be done
As they laugh and sing along
To some old and favourite song
Untitled
This guy far away died the other day
What are we to say
That we are not to blame
He did it in a way, that we are not to shame
Do we keep it at bay
What we are to say
That we're innocent
That we are not to blame
False prophets in a flame
Kept down by ice and rain
Oh child you do not know
That we are meant to maim
In the ice and in the flame
Are we still meant to blame
Tell me what's the game
The game you insist to play
On the day with snow not rain
Are we meant to pass the day
Thinkin' about what we knew the day
We wished for snow and carried rain
The colour looks so black
It happened just like that
Golden as the sun
Hearts beating just as one
And when the days were long
And we were just so young
Oh just so young
Oh it was just like that
Making friends and matching back
It was just so fun
Life had just begun
Hard to think now that its all gone
Life was all one big song
Oh all those closing doors
Feels like so much more
Heaven
The devil may cry
Or the devil may sigh
But he will never get high
Because the gates won't let him by
Odd
Black poetry is overrated
Now days are cold and jaded
No rest for the complicated
My mind is jumbled and jaded
No rest for the worn and weary
After you've been fighting every query
Been gone so long
Still gonna miss you after so long
Been gone so long
Still gonna miss ya after so long
Heart is cold since you've been gone so long
Want
Everyday I feel like screaming
Like screaming until I cry
Til my voice is broke and the world goes dry
I keep wanting to turn to you
But that�s a little hard to do
My world is bruised with pain
We�re so far apart now it feels like a crime against that day
I want to stare into your eyes again
I want you to talk about my lips
I want to feel your hands with mine again
I want to feel you brush against my hips
I want to hear you laugh again
I want you to read me like a book
I want to hear you talk again and say each word like you used to do
I want you to ask me what I think again about anything you wish
I want to make fun of your red lips again
I want you to make fun of how I laughed at you
I want to tell you stories and see you beg for more
I want you to confide in me and tell me things about the jobs you do
I want to fear you again
I want you to show me why I should
I want to show you how much I love you and the trust I have in you
I want you to vow again that you�d always take care of me like you used to do
I want to see you again how I last saw you alive
I want you to know what I thought at the very moment I saw you last
I want to tell you what I first said when I heard you�d arrived
I want you to tell me hello again and actually say goodbye
I want to tell you how much I miss you and how much I wish you were here
I want you to show me a sign that your alright and that you�ll be fine away from here
I want you to know that I made a promise to take care of him for you
I want you to be here for him again like you used to do
I want to see you treat him like the little brother you never had
I want you to see that he never has forgotten what you�d said
I want to remind him of who you were inside
I want you to remind me again of that kind soul inside, the one that peaked out all the time
I want you back with us again
I want to see you smile
All of these are just wants and dreams never to come true
But you can�t stop a want, not after having heaven around like you
C.D.
Multi coloured rainbow
Spin at a high rate now
Turn, turn, turn
So you don�t melt down
And go burn, burn, burn
Johnny Cash
Can�t listen to that song anymore
Not since you left and went away
I remember for years we listened to Johnny Cash songs and always chat away
But I can�t listen to that song anymore
The song you always claimed was the greatest love song ever sang
Ever since the nineth grade we played it out
And you would always make your claim
Greatest love song ever sang
And I would always smile and say
No, no Unchained Melody is the greatest love song ever sang
All those times you�d bring it up and try to make me change my mind
Never any warning, you were always one for just bringing it up anytime
And even when I finally admitted you were right you still made us play our game
Just because it was much more fun that way
I finally did listen to your song twice after getting turned down one day
I played it because he had something in him that reminded me of you
I feel so bad for what I put him through
But it helped to make me realize how much I really shared with you
Like our little song, that I will play again for you one day
Maybe the day I realize he is also a good guy like you were
Maybe the day I feel like I may forget you
Or maybe the day I hear Shakespeare�s Twelfth Night again
But not today
Not on a day like today
But tomorrow is another day
And a new day is a new chance to think of happier time in a happier way
