A poem for Daniel

Touch me, my lover,

trail your fingers down my spine

Your beard, like a whisper

against my cheek

my eyes slip closed

in the beauty of the moment

Poems for A Daddy

Daddy,

Am I your princess daddy?
I give you a cookie crumb kiss
But you turn away from me
This house is our Castle, Daddy,
And you’re the king

There are monsters under my bed, Daddy
But you won’t scare them away
But you brought them here, Daddy,
They creep into my mind
And there they stay


I met a boy today, Daddy,
i let me hold my hand
He called me Princess, Daddy,
Like I always wanted
I think I’m in love,

He broke my heart, Daddy,
He left me in the rain
Won’t you call me Princess, Daddy?
I thought I was Cinderella
But I’m not


You cannot define me, Daddy
I’ve been waiting 20 years
But I’m not your princess, Daddy,
My castle is burning in my mind
Like paper to a flame

I’m not your Princess, Daddy.
Am I?

Daddy,

Am I your Prwin-Cess, Daddy?

I dance pwetty today

Will you tuck me in, daddy?

And read me Cinderella?

You didn’t see me off to school, Daddy,

Its my first day today,

Will you be proud of me Daddy?

I wore ribbons that matched my eyes 

I learned to spell P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S, Daddy,

When I told you, you didn’t smile today

Will you give me a hug, Daddy?

Or a kiss on my forehead?

There are monsters under my bed, Daddy

You were supposed to scare them away,

Do you love me, Daddy?

Instead you let them come in

I met a boy today daddy,

He called me princess

I held his hand today, Daddy,

And let him steal a kiss

That boy broke my heart, Daddy,

He left me in the rain today

I’m not Cinderella, Daddy,

I thought I was for moment

I’ve been waiting 20 years, Daddy

Silent all this time

I’m not your Princess, Daddy?

Am I?

Wake me up with a pinch

I can’t get married now.
What was I thinking?
 This is insane. I’m too young . I don’t know what I’m doing. He isn’t the right one.
This is a fantasy. I’ll wake up with a pinch.


Wake me up with a pinch
This can’t be happening
The fairytale is over
No more flowers and kisses
in the twilight
Wake me up with a pinch
You aren’t the right one
Tear the dress from my body
White satin shreds
In my hands
Wake me up with a pinch
This fantasy you’ve made
Kills me
The ring slips off my finger
It falls away

Wake me up with a pinch
I’m dying in this church
Blow out the candles
Like you’ve blown out our life
Its over
And its done

dear daddy

I'm getting married.
and i'm feeling nostalgic for my daddy. I just listened to "I loved her first" by heartland. i think this song will be my daddy/daughter dance.
I'm getting married!

I bought my dress tuesday.
its cream white with champagne trim. its got a corset back and the skirt is a sweep train. the skirt has pickups on it. its beautiful. i can't believe I'm getting married.

Dear Daddy,
I love you. and I can't believe that I'm letting another man into my life. he will never replace you. no one could ever replace you. You are the first man I ever loved and you are the one that taught me about God and you're the one who showed me how to love. It was you who were always on my side and you  were always there when I needed someone.
I love you always.
Your daughter
