Anger in the Rain [Blind Girl]

Windshield wipers
WHACK
WHACK
away the raindrops that
quickly gather on my
windshield,
blurring my
vision.
But
my vision is not the only one blurred, and
rain isn't the only thing
I'd like to whack with windshield wipers.
You,
blind girl,
have blindly broken something dear to me.
You,
blind girl,
have made me RIOTOUSLY angry.

The signs were there, blind girl,
I know, I helped him put them up.
He put out his hand, blind girl, for you.
Bared his soul, blind girl, for you.
Gained confidence, blind girl, for you.

Nice guys may finish last, but
this nice guy has an angry friend.

So I took a leaf out of Danielle's book [Spring]

This time of year makes me feel as though the twilight could last forever and ever, like the sun will never completely disappear. This time of year makes me feel like I have all the time in the world, because I usually start my homework once it gets dark. The sun just seems brighter and it's warm and hot and cool all at the same time, but never cold.
This time of year makes jokes seem funnier and laughs louder and friends better. This time of year makes me think my feelings will never get hurt and love will never be more complicated than a smile.
It's so beautiful, one morning you just open your eyes to an explosion of emerald life all around you. The sky is an endless canvas of the prettiest blue God could create. The wind is just strong enough to kiss every bit of your skin it can find and it's just warm enough to wear shorts and dance in the sun.
Sometimes, sometimes I just have to close my eyes and breathe as deeply as I can and it just smells like happy and I'm filled with this joy and contentment that feels everlasting. Sometimes I just need to squinch my toes in the dirt and feel the cool green grass blades tickle my feet. Sometimes shoes just aren't an option and I have to kick them off, wherever I am.
This time of year is the best time for swinging. You just lean back and let your hair fly through the breeze and close your eyes and lose all sense of up and down and just BE. Just be in the sun and the clean air and the happy.


Complete word vomit, just typed everything this weather does to me.
Tell me if I'm crazy or if you agree :]

My Hands are Yours

Hands
sin-darkened with a shadow that can only be removed by a blood offering
are before me.
They are my own.
They are my own
and
they are dirty
and
they hold in them the only thing I have to give
which is
my life.
My life
filled with darkness
sorrow
pain
guilt
is yours.
Yours because
of the blood offering you freely gave
before my great-grandparents were even imagined by man.
Yours because
of the love you have shown me when there is nothing about me to love.
Yours because
of the joy you have filled me with when most people think there is no reason to be joyful.
Yours because
of the endless chances you have given me for redemption.
Hands
never lifted high enough to possibly be worthy of you
but you sing over them anyways.
Hands
made strong and new by the love you pour over them.

Quicksand Eyes

Looking at your eyes,
I am frozen.
Like Medusa,
they turn me to stone.

Looking at your eyes,
I am alive.
Like Dr. King,
they give me a dream.

Looking at your eyes,
I am mesmerized-
like a deer,
and they are the headlights.

Looking at your eyes,
I am trapped.
Like quicksand,
they pull me in.

Take me away
in your quicksand eyes-
where clouds are perfect
in eternal summer.

Take me away
in your quicksand eyes-
to bare foot days
and secret laughter.

Take me away
in your quicksand eyes-
to sleepless nights
with no regrets.

Looking at your eyes,
your quicksand eyes,
I know
you can take me everywhere.
