You're in my dreams--day and at night
You're with me all the time.
wherever I go I see you
when I wake in the morning, I can see you beside me
holding on
when I get to the office
you're everywhere
in meetings, you're there.
as I work, you're there.
You fill my thoughts
you're everywhere.
When I climb into bed, I see you
I feel your heart beat close to mine
I look around
and
you're everywhere

you're in my thoughts
you're in my dreams
you're in my days and in my nights
you're in my heart and on my mind.
you're everywhere.

everywhere but here.

Watching cars go round and round
oh, the things I do
watching silly race cars drive
just to feel closer to you
In the beginning it was just a feeling
a twinkle in my eye
But time has made it stronger
and only God knows why.
I dream of when I'll hug you
and when you're holding me.
I dream of gentle kisses
and I wish that we could be...
together today
if there was a way
to come home to stay
for a roll in the hay
day after day
I would say
"I'm so happy!"
but I am anyway...
because I love you.

I'm going to the beach in a day!
I should be happy to get away.
Instead, I sort of wish I could stay
so I could still see you every Friday
and talk on the phone to hear you say
"hey Shannon" (aww!) "how was your day?"
I'd rather take phone bills that I have to pay
and live with a Freak who is totally gay
and go to a hearing where they just may
send you to prison and make you stay
than to be far away for even a day
from the guy I love (that's you, by the way.)

If you ever tried to kiss me
I'd never push you down
and if you could plant one on me
I'd never wear a frown
But we can't kiss through bars or glass, it seems
So we'll have to resort to just kissing in dreams.

I'm so lucky... I got one back today!
He says:
You're an angel sent from Heaven above
Sent for someone like me to love
Your eyes are green and mine are too
And I think I'm falling in love with you.

(aww!) My reply:
One year, two years, five, whatever
I think I'll probably wait forever
Without you my green eyes would be blue
'cuz I think I'm falling in love with you, too.

There are lots of things between us.
Can you name a few?
I can think of lots of things
that separate me from you.
First of all there's space.
Ten miles north to see your face
And then of course the phone line
that runs from your ear down to mine
Can't forget the walls of stone
that keep you far away from home
And there's that stupid plate of glass
that keeps me from grabbing your... butt
All these things between us suck
and you know, it's just my luck
But there's something else between us
we can't blame on the state
It comes from our hearts and our God above
and gee, I think it's great!

If I could be invisible
I'd sneak into your cell
No COs would see me
and no inmates would tell.
I'd slip into your blankies
and wait for lock-down hour
then when you jumped into your bed
I'd undo my invisible power
I'd get to see what it's like for you
each day inside the walls
I want to spend a day with you
(although, I'd miss the malls!)
We'd lie there and talk
and it would be free!
All through the night,
just you and me
We'd lie in bed and watch the fights
until the turned off all the lights
How I'd love to get in there
as long as they don't make me wear...
orange.

Twice a week and without fail
I get a call from the county jail.
"Do you accept this call?" she'll say
I push 55 -- yes, I'll pay
It makes me smile to hear your voice.
To hear it more would be my choice
I think God planned it all this way
I'm so glad I met you
are you sure you're not gay?
(June 04)


-------------------------------------------------------
I have a pillow. You do not.
I sleep in a bed. You sleep on a cot.
My towels are cushy. Yours are thin.
I don't like dominoes. You always win.
I don't like smoking. You think it's cool.
I went to college. You skipped school.
I'm free to run. You're behind bars.
I like the law. You steal cars.
I don't watch races. You love TV.
We're as different as different can be.
Someone said that opposites attract
I don't know if I agree with that.
I don't know why but I like you a lot
I wish you'd get out (and I think you're hot)
(April 04)

I made a friend at church one night
he was quite a lovely sight
i liked it when he smiled at me
but a convict, he turned out to be
now I cry each night alone
for my orange-clad friend to come back home.

Hi!  I'm Shannon and I heart my inmate.
I have to keep my classic poetry somewhere so here it is.
I'm sure it will be in literature books some day and you can say you knew me way back when.  Then we'll all feel special.
