Your Name
Corey Chapman
Your Eyes
I… Was just Minding my Business
And…
You… Were just Standing there
I… Didn’t Mean to be Rude
But…
I… Couldn’t Help But Stare
There…was just Something
About… You
I… Couldn’t tell if I Was Something in your Eyes
Or…
Maybe if it was just Something about how you looked in your Hair
The Only thing I Knew for Certain
Was…
That… There was Not another like You in that Room
Not a One…
Who… Could even Slightly Compare
I… Went into my Head
Asking all those Familiar questions we All Know
The Who…
The What…
And… Then, Yes… even the When
And… The Where…
I… Walked right up to You
In what I thought was Strong and Confident… With Reasonable Care
But…
When I Got to Your Table…
All I Could See was your Eyes
They Took me right out of my Cold and Sweaty Despair
You… were Just So Wonderful
You… were Just So Free
Nothing Else Mattered… right then
Those moments belonged to Your Eyes and Me
We… Talked for Hours and Hours
We… Laughed
You… even Cried
But… when the Night Was Over
I… knew… I Had Met My Angel
The Soul… I… know… I Could finally… Confide
Empirical Miracles
Everything… Is a Miracle
There Is A Lot of Evidence to back it Up
But… Nothing Empirical
And… If You Tell the Wrong Person
They’ll Find you… Hysterical
Miracles are Empirical
Everything Is a Miracle
What Evidence do You Have for That?
Empirical
Ha! Yea Right! You’re Hysterical
Mistaken Rhymes
When You try rhyming Words
Do You ever Wonder…
If Your Rhyme has Already been Taken?
There is Probably a Good Chance
That… The Rhyme May be The Same
But…
If They Say The Message is Too
Just… Let Them Know
You’re Mistaken
And… Then…
If They Ask You… ‘ who are You to Talk to Me Like This?’
Just Tell Them…
… Mr. C
After All…
It’s Always Better to Leave Them with a Little Mystery
New People
I… Always Get Shy when Meeting Someone Who is New
I … Never know What to Say
But… if you are Aware
There… Are a Lot of Things you Could Do
For Instance…
You Could Say, “Hey”
Or…
You Could Ask them, “how is Your Day?”
Or…
And… This Next One Might Sound Just a Little Cliché
But…
If you Can’t Think of Anything to Say
You Could still just Walk Away
Ok?
Hands
Please… Please… Understand…
Nothing Else Matters
When You Take Me By the Hands
I Don’t Even Need the Best Laid Plans
With Your Touch…
I’ve already found My Hold Land
I’d Admit it on The Witness Stand
Cause… when I’m with You
I Feel Like the Leader of the Band
On Our Way…
To the Promised Lands…
Anything You Wish…
Is My Command
So Please…
Just Take My Hands…
One
More
Time
Let’s Live Our Lives… On Demand
Our Wishes Will Come True
We Are Like That Oasis in the Desert… Hidden Among the Many, Many Grains of Sand
And…
Even if Everything Goes Unplanned…
Together Forever
We
Will
Withstand
Cause… With One Touch of Your Hands
You… Changed all My Plans
My Plans… For the Future
And…
My Views… Of my Past
They Didn’t Mean a Thing…
Our Worlds were Ignited…
At
Very
Long
Last
Now… I Can Rest My Head Easy
And… Find You in My Dreams
The World… Seems Much Smaller Now
And…
Everything We’ve Always Wanted…. Is Much Closer than It Once Might have Seemed
I… Will Leave You With This… One Last Point to Make…
I Believe in Myself
Although… I Know Not Yet… All I Can Take
Speak Blessings of Your Angel When it Happens to You, Too
I Did…
Now I Am Finally Awake
When We Finally See Clear.. We know that Life is Just ‘the game’
So… Never Stop Playing…
After All…
It’s All for Making your Name
Deep Emotions
Some People…
There Emotions Just Run So Deep
They’re Not Easy to Hide
You Can Tell Who These People Are
By…. How They Make you Feel on the Inside
Also…
They Tend…
To Be…
Unfamiliarly…
Kind
But…. I’m Sure of That…
That You Don’t Mind
Problems
Tell Me All Your Problems
Even… After I’m Dead
I Am Forever Your Friend
Through… It… All…
Even…
Through… The… End…
So… You’ll Give Me All the Answers?
I’ll Give You What I Can
The Kiss
I See the Girls
And…
I Know they Want me to Go in for the Kiss
The Problem is…
All the Girls I Want to Kiss…
I Lose the Guts to Do it
Be Strong
When She Died…
Everyone Told me to ‘Be Strong”
How Were they supposed to Know their Advice was so Wrong?
The Truth is…
I Have Always been Strong
I Have Been Strong… All Along
And….
Although I Appreciate All the Advice …
That You Seem to All be Giving
For Your Sake, Though
Please Take Your Own Advice….
Just Start Living
Birds
Birds…
They Only Sing to Us
They have seen Us as Equals
Ever Since They Learned…
That… We Knew…
How… they Flew
Your Name
I Saw You…
I Didn’t Know your Name, Yet
And…
You Didn’t Know Mine
And…
That Was Just Fine
Because…
I Learned your Name
And…
You Learned Mine
Then… One Day it was Funny…
We Both…
Couldn’t remember a Time…
That…
I Didn’t Know Your Name
And…
You Didn’t know Mine
an Orphaned Wolf & a Polar Bear
A Wolf and a Bear…
Together?
That’s really Rare
It is…
But try not to Stare
I’ll bet it Happens All the Time with Them, Though
That Duo…
They Probably don’t even Care
What is a Yeroc? (Dead-end Start)
The Path for my Life Started on a Dead End
Whenever I’d Reach the Turn-Around in the Road…
It Was Always a New Place to Begin
And…
I will never back down and Simply Give in… and Relinquish…
That’s too Easy
The Paths to Begin Again Most Often can Blend… and be Hard to Distinguish
Don’t go through This Life So Briefly
Give it Your All
Love Completely
Because…
When the Path for your Life Starts out on a Dead End…
Whenever You Reach the Turn-Around in the Road…
It Will Always be a New Place to Begin
And… When…
No Matter How Many Times…
We Would Walk to That Place…
Again and Again and Again
No Matter How Many times…
On that Particular Road…
It Would Always… still come To an End…
But… One Day…
You Decided not to Turn
To Keep Walking Through…
And…
I Followed You
It Was of no Matter Where You were Going
It was just Something You Felt… You Needed to Do…
I’ll Never Quite Know what made Me Keep Walking that Day
Other Then…
I was Also Trying to Find Something New…
I Just wanted to… Continue… Walking Too…
The Reason…
I Had no Clue
But…
The Path kept Going and Going
There was No Need to Turn Around
And…
The Further we Walked into the Woods…
The Easier it Was
to Distinguish
All of Natures
Beautiful Sounds
No More Hustling and Bustling of the Cars driving By…
Just the Rustling of the Leaves on the Ground
There was Something else in the Woods with Us, too
If Only we had Knew…
It Was Late
And…
We Were Tired
And…
Decided to Sit Down on the Ground
I Drew a Picture of a Yeroc in My Notebook
And I Also Drew a Map of His Home Town
And…
After Our Nap…
With Me, You, and Yeroc
This was to Be…
Our Quest to Explore
Our New Playground
Before..
Anyone Else
On the Bank
This…
Is The Story
Of the Life
Behind
The Dreams
We Run…
We Play…
We Climb…
We Sing…
But…
We’re Always just “swimming in the Stream”
But… Then One Day
When You Are Closest to Your Darkest Fears
And… Sinking… Moving…
Ever Closer to Your Brink
You Find…
That…
You Can Touch the Bottom
You Can Never really Sink
Your Darkest Fears…
They Then… Will Suddenly… Cease to Be
As You Make Your way to the Bank
And… Next…
The Skies will Open up to You..
As You’re Left Wondering….
Who…
To… Thank
