Frankie Renae Poems

I'm wide awake and so alive
Ringing like a bell
Tell me this is paradise
And not someplace I fell
...

blaring soft spoken acoustic
one bit of uncalled honesty after another
and I imagine you
in all the overused words I use
...

Chorus:
You are 13 of 14 angels
got all them angles carried up
if the last one is me
...

there's a million angels that live in this town
so how did I find you; my feet can't touch the ground
I'm swimmin in your love
like all your emotions that fall from above
...

somewhere over the expanse of years
lies a time I just can't seem to fear
so many hopes, so many dreams
so many promises, so few tears at the seams
...

I dropped her heart on the sidewalk
walked around the block to pick it up
but it was gone
and when I looked again
...

Just your wife
It wasn't supposed to go this way
Close my eyes
But this won't go away
...

He lays on the phone, okay
with the silence
walks next to me, okay
with conversation's absence
...

And yet there you stand
180 days later
200 thoughts greater
So much more than friends
...

i called you the sea, we have tried and failed that many times
but sometimes in my prayers, guilt and scared, this love makes sense and i can't stop
the thinking and the thinking lines:
...
