aging and sagging in place of the smiles
Exhaustion and tiredness instead of sweet miles
Our eyes becomes shaded and jaded with time
And genuine hopefulness turns on a dime
But stand where He is and hold out your hand
He sees beauty and grace across my face
Restoring and loving me despite my haste
Because of His wonderfulness I can finish this race..
I love the nothing that makes me long to be that something of us..
Pull your string
Watch you beam
and act like it is all as it seems..
your house looks like it’s made of stone – strong and solid to the bone..
Opened you wide
hidden inside
is an inner layer filled with hate – no one able to knock down that gate..
Moments that words can no longer reach –
someone like you they cannot teach
though You’re gone – i see your face
I always say you only need space
Give me the time – give me your mind
I’ll grind out your insides as you unwind..
set up new wiring and restring you throughout-
pulling them tight until they’re just right..
as you move about with sheer delight,
your light will once again learn to shine bright..
I loved you before I knew what it was
My heart calling out before I could verbalize your name..
Walking toward you before I understood you existed
A longing – I felt
a yearning – I taste
a reckoning of the soul to be made whole..
It beckons me..
I envy the peace of the dead
The quiet in the head-
one I’ve never known..
They want me to hold on
Feel the heartbeat – don’t give in to defeat..
My beginning never got to start
Now I ask you – put me in the ground
Let me end where I began
I can’t exist in this magical land
Let me be the fairy dust in your hand.
Why the inferno raging within..
you’re lost in the haze
Hidden in the blaze
It’s not in the look you create
Nor in the steps you make
Nor in the pretenses you strive to fake
Let the smoke choke out who you aren’t..
Don’t forget who you are..
each breath taken with care, purpose, passion..
deeply imbedded within
taste the goodness – feel the greatness –
live the fullness of life..
Give to yourself what you give to me
Such a beautiful human that needs to be free..
Wonderful beautiful you
Burn fiercely
shine brightly
walk strongly
unleash yourself from the games alight in your mind-
free from the lies being told
and leave behind the stories waiting to unfold..
You’re strolling – you’re walking – controlling the madness
Chanting and whispering with passion unfolding..
You start with a purpose and end at a loss
As the weight of the cross grows heavier with the mass..
you disappear -bit by bit – as each new thought and each new view is pounded into you..
Who can speak louder – who can overpower
Who can do most evil yet smell like a flower…
let’s cover up the stench
And bury the lies – until each truth simply dies..
Confusion abounds – your mission unclear –
Why oh why is it no one can hear…
I’m speaking I’m certain till I’m blue in the face
But we’ve lost something special – this human race-
without love as the base, we have no case..
can you see
can you feel
Just how real..
You set off a dream…
was this a scheme gone awry..
a serious or fatal accident of the heart..
Bearing the casualty of the firestorm brewing within..
I don’t wish you to be an echo of a memory I can never forget
Don’t leave me to it alone
your intentions unknown
let’s share this mishap together –
Think on, consider, conceive the world of a you and a me
feel the flames of my hopes
And the heat of my dreams
Let me singe you with love that is bursting from my seams..
It’s okay, it’s alright – I’ve got you in my sights
dupe me, trick me, just don’t lose me
for I’m M.I.A. in the games you play…
Lips are moving
I can’t hear you
Heart is beating
I can’t feel you
shielded in,
Covered, protected
so well guarded..
all smiles tucked away for another day..
Never to light my face again..
Not a dimple, not a twinkle
No not even a sliver
Least the house of cards come crashing down..
Fire away &
Stand back
The ricochet will slam you hard..
The holes you feel and see are me disappearing
never to be seen again
the decay of you & me is all I see
A chapel built around the image of we..
No longer what we were once meant to be..
broken down – on my hands and knees..
Let’s set our hearts free
reach for me please..
bound in love..
decorating my mind with the details
Each letter binding the words to my heart
created with love
a mind so true..
strong and gentle
I love how you decorate my soul
A design all your own
On my heart – the most beautiful art..
Your beauty is only shadowed by your love
A treasure without words
Fierce yet tender
You are my future looking into the past
and moving ahead..
scribble, scratch or spray me – just don’t erase me..
mark me up..
zig zagging..
crooked or straight
Lines
created from life..
past & present
join, intersect and form us..
binding us tight
The memories
What we hold near&dear
become our truths..
what we see, what we feel, what we believe to be real
Is how we deal..
it can grow us or
ravage us
choices to be made..
It is ok and sometimes
it is right to live in the crookeds..
There will be no finding the straights..
For there to be a shadow
There has to be light
let your focus be on the bright..
Stay lost..
Lost in our dance
never find your way out..
Let it be me
Only me you see
As you move your feet to our beat..
that rhythm of pure sweet..
Love
Love only me in the sea of hopes & dreams where nothing is like it seems..
For my sway will stay –
no matter if you’re sitting & I’m standing or
You’re running & I’m walking
The picture in your mind and the soundtrack of my heart create the perfect harmony..
and I am bending, stretching and syncing to your every move..
Lost in the rhythm & blues of our rock’n’roll..
