Princess

Photo by Heather Ruff

She stands in the window,

Staring at what might be.

Will she be the princess,

Would someone hold her key?

The jewels have been placed,
All eyes drawn to the newly crowned.
Hopes and fears ready to be faced,
Will she fall?

Are there arms to hold her,
A kiss to free her?
Will there be gentle love,
Or a passionate adoration so pure.

Will the silks tatter and fade,
Or the raiment be unshaken love.
Swept away by his waltz, a maid,
Saved away, her dragon slain.

The mind locking away her dreams,
Her heart the only entry.
Carry her in a powerful hold,
He takes her home as he whispers-

Love.

Red: Pieces

This is one of my favorite newer groups to listen to, Red. They have only one album out so far called "End of Silence". This song always gets me, it says just what I think on a regular bases.

"I'm here again - A thousand miles away from you
A broken mess - just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard - thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way

Then I see your face - I know I'm finally yours
I find everything - I thought I lost before
You call my name - I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole

I've come undone
But you make sense of who I am
Like puzzle pieces in your hand

When I see your face - I know I'm finally yours
I find everything - I thought I lost before
You call my name - I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole

I tried so hard - so hard - I tried so hard"

Then I see your face - I know I'm finally yours
I find everything - I thought I lost before
You call my name - I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
So you can make me whole"
