Winter's Work

When the sky turns into grey

The bright blue begins to fade 

Striving ends another day 

Working tools are put away 

The bitter cold won't cut me through 

Because my mind returns to you

While warming up in my old truck 

I'm thanking God for all my luck 

I see the gold that I have struck

The ties we have cannot be cut 

A million miles can't hold me back  

I'm driving home to our old shack 

Through the wind they see me smile

Though the snow begins to pile

Work outdoors gets pretty wild

I think of you, it's all worthwhile 

A hundred hours is just a blur.  

In our warm bed I feel you stir. 

The Drive

What if the world took time to understand

What goes on inside each other's heart? 

Everyone tries in their own way 

To tame thoughts and yearnings

Steering ourselves toward appeasement  

Forced to hide behind our fears 

Building facades of many kinds

But no one is truly confident 

We preen an avatar

And send it out fiind the dream 

Then cause offenses along the way 

While attempting to reach it

Few understand how hard we try

If we stop reaching there's a void

Is satisfaction a form of defeat?

It may be the goal of the icon

But a heart only wants to be loved 

And finding that knowledge carries us 

Beyond the anxious drive

Past the persona we present 

The Right Name

I gave it the works, flowers and gifts 

Humbled myself and took care of the rift

Didn't intend to cause any pain

But my mouth had to slip and say the wrong name

I love ya dear and will always be true

But my violets are red and my roses are blue

I'll call you honey from now to the end

Cause I don't want to be in the doghouse again.

My mother she did the same thing to me

To find the right name it always took three

But a lover will kill if you go through a list

So you better use babe or you'll never see bliss. 

I love ya dear and will always be true

But my violets are red and my roses are blue

I'll call you honey from now to the end

Cause I don't want to be in the doghouse again

It Starts With Joy

To know a loved one is happy

Is the best feeling I know

A heart can be truly content 

When a friend has joy to show

This is the essence of love 

It isn't in action alone 

But to care for another soul

As much as you care for your own 

Giving is more than a gift 

Beauty is more than a look 

It starts with joy inside 

Flowing serene like a brook 

If I was to lay down my life

It wouldn't be for money or fame 

But to give my love a life of joy

I would endure any pain

 

 

Time and Answers

Some things are impossible to explain to others

Knowing someone so well that the words romance, love and commitments are inferior.

What is understood takes on all of life and it's incidentals,

It envelopes past, present and future 

Conversations put life in perspective and settle the soul

There are no words that describe it sufficiently 

So it has to be kept inside to avoid misunderstanding

How can others expect to understand?

They want to keep what years have earned and rightly so

We wait, hope and wonder what to do with ourselves 

While giving the respect and honor that is due. 

Yet, while being just, there is a feeling of injustice and pain. 

That something so valuable might be cast aside. 

Or characterized as discontentment, boredom or malice. 

Asking time to figure it all out

Hopefully it knows what it is doing. 

Etched in Stone

Held in words, our feelings go  

Thoughts we have and what we know

Words left unsaid have value too

Time comes along, brings words anew 

What's been said is etched in stone 

Up in the hills for us alone 

In this valley there's much to do

I look up there and think of you

We form words in picture form

To help us through, and brave the storm

They speak aloud without a sound

Give us peace when we lay down 

What's been said is etched in stone 

Up in the hills for us alone 

In this valley there's much to do

I look up there and think of you

 

. 

 

Juggling

I thought love was like bowling

With gutters and strikes 

The ball comes back 

And you get another try

But it's really more like juggling

We toss desires up

While hoping to catch another 

So much going on at the same time

Don't miss or it hurts!

Smash a toe

And look like a fool 

But smile and wait for applause 

You're styling 

When it's finally successful 

Luxury

The greatest luxury 

Isn't found in excess of pleasure

It isn't found in objects that wear out 

What brings the most satisfaction

A treasure of unmeasurable value 

Is to have the person on your mind

Also thinking of you. 

Toward the Light

I turned my mind to the past 

Nothing lasts, it went too fast 

Tried to see on down the road 

It's dark and cold, so I'm told 

So I'm heading toward the light 

And my heart is in control 

We'll meet again, don't say goodby

No need to cry,  we can't deny

The future bids and we obey

Then step away with things to say  

I'm heading toward the light 

And my heart is in control 

It all works out before the end

Time's a friend, the wounds will mend

Darkness leaves and love will shine

Gives us a sign, it will remind

I'm heading toward the light

and my heart is in control. 

 

Keepers of the Stage

The time arrived 

The time to turn the page

It made perfect sense

There had been enough rage

That's what I'm told

By the keepers of the stage 

But I won't give in

Since I happen to be engaged. 

Aquila

There is a crazy love 

Dancing in the stars

Bids us come along 

While playing on Lyra

We're having so much fun 

Dancing to its tune 

It makes us feel alive

As we soar with Aquila

No need for light of day

We never get too tired

We sound so beautiful 

A quartet with Gemini  

A slow dance with the swan 

Serene and beautiful

With Sygnus we can swoon

Then smile till we cry 

We stayed with Praecepe

And then off to Aldebaran 

Then hold each other close

Until the stars are gone. 

Awakened

What it means to miss, no mortal can define

Two lives held apart, meant to be be combined 

Its not a want for sympathy, but being understood 

More than just a touch, but sharing something good. 

Thoughts become an echo, unless they can be heard

A heart is set at ease, by the magic in a word

And eyes do have a way, in quiet yet they speak

A pool where two can swim, awakened from their sleep. 

Moments

We go on patiently while our moments pass us by

With eyes fixed on the future, so much to satisfy

The present that we hold can reward or be a thief

Each person has the power to give it good or give it grief

Past and future try to mug all our moments as they come 

Convincing us the good ones won't arrive or can't be done

But time was made for love and as its servant must obey 

When it all seems wrong, knowing love is our touché.  

   

 

Outdoors

Life seems at times 

As though I am looking through a glass 

The snowflakes fall outside 

It would be so good to feel them on my face

I can only press my face against the pane

My breath steaming the glass 

Life itself clouding the view

The air is comfortable inside

But adventure is beyond the glass 

Some have been known to starve

Others come back inside 

Vowing never to try again

But the glass is cool against my cheek

It can't be so bad out there

Will the door lock behind me?

Wil I be left shivering alone in the cold? 

But I feel I belong there. 

This warm house makes more sense 

But my mind is outside. 

Despite

Inside each heart lies a desire to reach love's lofty heights 

Our very soul cannot survive unless it's in our sight 

But sometimes we're mistaken and think it's appetite

A reward that can be won by doing all things right

We try to preen and buy so another will delight 

But everything decays, we cannot end the blight 

True love becomes stronger when the flesh has lost its might

And the purest love we know will continue on despite 

Knowledge

Some things don't have to be said to be known

When two souls discover they share the same home

When certainty comes there is always a peace 

With things that are true there comes a  release 

Go ahead and sit, then slowly breath in 

Savor, enjoy it; let strength begin

Enjoy the knowledge with every breath

Then soak it all in; let your soul be refreshed. 

No one is forgetting, all is intact

There's no need to worry when given the facts

A smile of defiance fits you so well

The fun part of you shouldn't be withheld 

No Doubt

When I knew you as a kid 

I nearly flipped my lid

I had so much to prove 

You wanted me to move

We could have talked it out

No doubt 

I struggled to find worth

To take away the curse

Tried to hide my poverty

You couldn't know the real me

We'd have helped each other out

No doubt

But now we're here again

I don't want another end

We cannot have it all

But maybe something small

There's a way to work it out 

No doubt

As We Travel

Feelings rise up 

And become thought

They grow inside us

Turn into an idea

Requesting action

And over time 

Settle into a dream 

As we travel 

Our memories

Return to us  

And want released

Reality fights dreams

Dreams fight reality

Can't they be friends? 

We need them both

 

Without dreams 

We'd never explore

Without reality 

We'd never experience

When the two reconcile

It brings happiness

Heaven

If I designed heaven  

Every thought would be right

No need to sort them out

I would say what I want 

Without worry or concern

I could proclaim love from a housetop

And it would be applauded

I would sing loud and passionate

In a perfect key 

With the best accompaniment

Music would always be sweet 

Poetry would flow like water 

Beautiful syllables 

With no need to end 

Keep your thoughts of angel wings 

And streets of gold 

My heaven would be about expression

And knowing what's in a heart

There would be no embarrassment

Or any other obstruction

Guilt or fear 

Obligation or duty

Every joke would be funny

And laughter would rule

If I could design heaven

Actually

It would be exactly like

When you and I are together 

 

If I Could Conquer the Night

I get it; some things are forbidden

And some things are best when left alone 

And I appreciate the lot that we've been given

Through it all I think we both have grown 

And I will be alright 

If I could conquer the night

The silhouettes tell me to get moving

Coffees on to help engage my mind

Tasks arise; they have a way of soothing

Avoiding all the things that may remind

The sun is a welcome sight

Wish I could conquer the night

We can't obligate a person to complete us

We should be glad since life went on the same

Keep moving so nothing can defeat us

With no regrets and no one passing blame

I might win this fight

If I could conquer the night

Purpose

We start out with the joy and delight of discovery 

Thinking we should carve out place to keep them

We build monuments to people and memories

But if new dreams aren't pursued  

We will be left behind in mausoleums 

Discovery is our purpose 

We shouldn't stop exploring.  

It is what keeps us young

Encore

I watched a brown leaf as it danced on the wind

It's companions were resting on the ground trying to catch their breath

With fingers extended and veins, they looked like hands hiding something in the earth

Recently they lived together in a tree clapping at the warm summer breeze

Shielding our eyes from the sun as we do with our own hand. 

Touching the warm sunlight the way we touch

Enjoying the breeze with the exuberance we have

The fact that they will be covered with snow doesn't mean it is over. 

There is a rustling sound, longing for spring

Expect an encore; All that is good will return to perform again. 

 

Expressed Words

The world of expressed words 

Written, spoken and pondered 

Is where reality is found

Where dreams  are described 

Hopes made alive 

Ears and eyes absorb these words

Written, spoken and pondered 

Realities are formed

Where another confides

To know what's inside 

Incidental

It's in the incidental things we share

Celebrating the breaks life gives us.

Hope and forgiveness

Pain and desire

Appreciating together the gifts given us

The small things hold love together

More than the grandiose 

We feel it's essence and connection 

Through memories and places we visit. 

Symbols and markers

Wanting the closeness 

That comes through passing. 

The Best Acts

Some action is made to defend ones own pride

Some things are done to solve turmoil inside 

We can't really judge what a hearts going through

The best acts begin out of love 

Some stay away to avoid all the pain

Others avoid to keep themselves sane

It's hard to accept what one has to do

Some things need paused out of love

We never give in to pressure and cower

To keep ones own heart is the ultimate power 

When the case has been stated, there's nothing to prove

We patiently wait out of love

  

A Better Game

That's the last offense I'll take from you

She said "you gave me two"

Take a book and write it down

He said "Don't make a sound!"

As anger piled up like dung

An argument had just begun

Who will win and get the prize?

Offense grew to a massive size

They both produced this nasty thing

A smell just started lingering

Why hold a prize and smile

while each offence is filed?

Time we spend can't be recovered

Let's quit the game and just be lovers  

Ways

How many ways can I say it

Words may run short 

But a soul is steadfast

How many ways can I play it

Obstacles in life 

Can't block the feelings

How many times do I weigh it

Reason wins out 

But a heart cannot lose 

Some things just cannot be broken

 

Laughter Again

Blame it on happines 

And no one else

There is only one lesson

Longing draws happiness out of the present 

I couldn't bear to see you decend 

Into the world of want

Even if we both built it

Although we both fell off the wagon at times

I needed only a taste of our friendship 

as a fine wine

But I will take the punishment 

Of unnecessary blocks and bans

In exchange for letting the world 

Hear your laughter again

Waking Orion

When the night is clear

And the dark draws near

The silence holds what I hold dear

There's a voice I hear

Nothing else to fear 

The Images will soon appear

Then I think of you

Nothing I can do

Outside the light no one's made a fool

But we can hang out there

A place where no one cares

We'll dance and party down

And never make a sound

When we see the stars

No matter where we are

Lets wake Orion up

And spill that dipping cup. 

We won't leave a trace

It is our private place

No one needs to know

So many wish to go. 

Since we own the skies

There are no goodbyes

We're happy every day

Then spend our nights at play

 

 

Only Hearts Can

You can't fully describe the feeling

The lump inside your throat 

The aching of the heart

The yearning of the soul

Breaking all confidence

Though healthy you feel sick 

Giving up what is held dear

Feeling like you are in a free fall

Every thought to share

Every burden to bear 

Hopes on one thing 

Songs have one meaning

Life out of control

Restless nights 

Dreams you can't explain

Subject to foolishness

Others will ridicule

This is not all 

But thank God above 

This feeling can only be

Toward a certain other

If we truly loved our neighbors

No one could bear it. 

However, 

When it is received with joy

From the deepest descent

There forms an estacy 

It transcends every obstacle 

Fulfills every hope

Exceeds any dream

Makes everything right

The soul is at rest

Life's burdens become light

There is no embarrassment 

Feet on solid ground 

Expectations soar

The world cannot bear it 

Only hearts can can contain love 

The Creek

Last night I reached down to a creek

My hand swirled  the water.

Something squirmed. 

I let it go; it was a fish. 

This happened again with a beetle

I realized everything I touched came alive 

Dirt, twigs and leaves all came to life at my touch. 

I was the opposite of Midas. 

A friend walked up behind me.

What if my touch did the opposite to living things?

So I was afraid to turn around lest I hurt her

What a curious dream.  

The Words We Share

I heard a song 

It was inspiring 

And made my heart soar

My mind savored it 

How can someone could put

Such beauty into words?

So it plays in my head 

And lifts my mood 

When I am having fun

My head bobs to the music

And when alone

It plays in my head 

and gives comfort

The same thing happens

With the words we share

The Tree

The many things in life we're taught 

Some for good and some for naught

We say its crazy but do the same

Enjoy the good then give it shame

So many dreams our hearts give birth

We gaze at them and give them worth 

Life gives us a tree of love

We pick its fruit before we're dust 

It feeds our souls and as we will

We're satisfied but never filled

Every morsel goes down sweet

We grow inside; it always keeps

It's something that we can't be taught 

Yet is profound and greatly sought.  

 

Hall of Fame

I take my thoughts

And write a poem

Add some music

Make a song

It's in my head 

All day long 

If I could take your thoughts

I'd write a poem

Add some music 

Make a song

It'd play in our heads

All day long

We would harmonize

A single thread

That could play inside

A million heads

They'd know our joy

And feel our pain

We'd both end up

In a hall of fame

Thoughts

The steady stream of thoughts

Words and dreams unspoken

Where does it all go?

Will hearts always be broken? 

If heaven keeps our thoughts

When our work in earth is over

We will live out all our dreams

And never think of closure. 

 

Before

When everything was innocent

And curiosity was all that we had

We danced to the tune of simplicity 

We loved before things went bad

There's a place in everyone's heart

Where events don't mean a thing

That's the place we always dwell

Who cares what life may bring

There's no reason to be anxious

No place for any shame

Feelings between these youths 

Will always be the same 

Who Is?

Who is the real me?

The passing thoughts

Words whispered when alone

This is reality

Led by hopes and dreams

A person who loves 

And a heart that holds dear 

With no inhibitions 

 

The Embers

The fire was strong as I remember 

But it was quenched to an ember

The embers still had such a lovely glow 

So it stayed in their hearts, warming the soul

They glowed apart for far too long

But it started a flame like a song

Burning with such beauty to behold

It went out of control

The intensity grew and began to destroy

It's fuel was their joy

Seting ablaze all they held dear

Beauty became fear

Few cared that control was so hard

The landscape was charred

But with smokey faces they smiled

And put the embers back for a while

Can Love be True?

The My heart needs answers

It's desperate to know about love 

I've searched till I lost my mind 

The answers stayed out of reach

I'd ask the man on the mountain 

But since he is always alone 

How could he know?

Man in all his knowledge 

Has no idea.

It can't be an emotion

Since it has both delight and pain

It can't be a passion

Since it always does what's best

It can't be logical 

Because no one can figure it out

It can't be an instinct 

We abandon all security for it

It can't be obligation 

We could make a contract with anyone

These are things it cannot be

It is very stubborn

It is  inconsiderate

It is untimely

And it tempts us to lie

How can love be the greatest  experience?

Maybe I am asking the wrong question

Can love be true?

Love transcends all reason 

It is higher than passion

Far above emotion and logic

Beyond true and false 

It is tied to our very existence 

Why am I here? 

Am I in love? 

The questions are similar  

We are to love our neighbors

Respecting their existence

But there is that one in a million

Who shares a single existence 

Mirrored images 

Beyond any relationship

Both are amazed by it 

There exists no doubt once discovered

The question is what to do with it.

Here is what love says:

When you are happy 

Know I am pleased

When you are sad

Know that I care

When you celebrate

Tip one for me

You are never alone 

Now that you know

My door is always open 

And so is my heart.

 

Who Could Have Known

They both had restless hearts

Life was passing by

A stirring deep inside

They wanted a reason why

On a morning marked in time

Arrived two searching hearts

Glad to share their lives

But they didn't expect to start

Who could have known 

They'd fall in love 

It wasn't supposed to be

Time couldn't give enough

Desire became a need

We all want a little adventure

Some travel the world to find 

But no place on earth compares

To what goes on between two minds

Everyone passed the blame

But they only wished to see

If dreams could just come true

Is that such a selfish thing? 

Who could have known?

The Note

With high expectation and hope  

There was so much to say 

So I wrote a note

It had highlights of my life

And a few jokes

I waited patiently to listen and tell

Every delightful thing in life

That all is well

I poured a cup of coffee and sat

Excited to delve

But I was assailed and hit instead 

I didn't know what I was doing

This tender heart bled

My smile fell onto the floor

Hope fled

Characterizations so far from the truth 

Delight became reason for war 

But I asked for a truce

Words were snares to hurt 

I gave no excuse

It is hard for a dreamer to comprehend 

love and kindness as destruction. 

I was losing my mind trying to mend

Reality forced itself on me

Yet dreams don't end

I straightened my shoulders and arose

Hope was hiding under the couch

It wasn't lost as I had supposed

But the note with so much delight

was disposed. 

 

Topsy Turvy

Two people are happy 

While two are sad

What a topsy turvy life we have

I wish for a world

With everyone glad

Is it only found in dreams? 

Well skewer me through

For thinking the same

Nothing will die 

Despite all the pain

It Takes More

I won't be one

That causes pain 

I have nothing in me but love

Mine won't be spent

To destroy 

And walk away

For a banal thrill

I hope you understand 

The way I am 

But I am empty 

I can hardly breath

It takes more love

To refrain

I'm not like

Anyone you have known. 

Seeking the Impossible

Make her the queen when you're alone

Keep the flower shop number close to the phone

Say a kind word, how lovely she looks 

Her favorite wine and favorite book

It's easy to show your affection

But how do you fall out of love?

They say giving it distance is the best

But a heart gets anxious and cannot find rest

You can make a demand that cannot be met

Or think up a bad that you cannot forget 

We always give hope to a lover

But how do you fall out of love? 

When the fire has been your home

The world outside is heartless and cold

Your mind always goes to the warmth of the flame

Inside your soul it's never the same

You're seeking the impossible 

When you ask to fall out of love. 

Courage

Two men stood together in arms

Both had their start on a dairy farm

One came to fight another day

The other one fought to be carried away

And the hero's first name was Dave

Everyone knew he was brave

He stood up and he charged 

Making strides that were large 

But his feet ended up in a grave

The cautious man's name was Howard 

Dave thought he fought like a coward

He ducked and he rolled

But still he was bold

Determined his feet would move onward

Thats the good thing about fear

The cautious one Howard's still here 

He had the courage to live a long llife

With no need to be chevalier 

As these two went off to war

Which of them loved life more?

Perfection

A walk through  

The thronging crowds 

Their porcelain cheeks

Looking proud

Dreams of popularity 

Based on expectations

A nod from their peers

Nothing but perfection

How can I find my love

In this sea of cherubs?

But when she walks in

They are put to shame

It isn't in the similarities

But how she is different

Flaws to them 

Are beautiful to me 

It is the same way 

When it comes to souls

There is a perfect standard

But it is in the mistakes

That I find beauty

A wrong word 

A moment of passion

Only make me smile 

True love is the admiration

Of imperfection

 

 

The Best Thoughts

The best thoughts are the deepest

From the infinate depth of our souls

But deep feelings are toughest

Impossible to let go 

When the well of passion is disturbed

Good and bad lose their meaning

Every rule we live by upturned

Nothing to justify the feelings

But we savor them anyways

And the cycle is hard to break

Why should something so good

Be so damn hard to take. 

A Prayer

When there's no person you can talk to

What you say just goes into the air

Alone since no one understands you

Don't dispair

Say a prayer

Whatever your religious persuasion

Feelings  must go somewhere 

There is always a heart to receive them

Don't dispair 

Say a prayer 

Tenderness

They said it was a mere cat

Just an animal, a pet

The dog who happily ran to me

Every day for fifteen years

But they creased my soul 

With welcomed familiarity

Their loss brought a tear

It's not that they are human

I won't  resort to caricatures

But once loved, they endure 

Don't despise those who are tender

Toward any living thing

Lives that creased my soul deeply

Welcome and familiar people

Not all are still around 

I have cried for them 

Mentors and those I mentor 

Find a place in my heart

Close and distant friends 

I won't accept caricatures

They are vibrant and alive

Never apologize

Nor try to justify

Tenderness   

 

 

Unfinished

All life can present is

Unfinished poems 

Unfinished songs

Unfinished dreams

Unfinished stories 

We're given the joy

of completion 

Milkweed

While lying in the grass, dreaming

I felt a gentle breeze

A milkweed silk floated by 

Suddenly I was aloft too

And someone had joined me

In white painter pants

We skipped along alfalfa tops 

That quickly gave way 

To a pond and Lilly pad flowers

A turtle stretched his neck to see

And a frog just missed us with his tongue

We laughed at how silly it had become

It was the perfect date 

We drifted higher into the trees

By a nest of hungry baby birds 

Droplets of water fell from the leaves

And we dodged them by leaning together

Then we passed through familiar gardens 

Our miniature view brought out beauty 

Exceeding all we could ever ask for. 

But the dream had to end

As we lighted onto a porch 

Where the fun started 

We smiled at each other 

And said ... goodnight.  

What I Ought

I ought to turn away

The words are in the air

But every way I turn 

I see you standing there

As unlikely as it seems

And careless I must be

My thoughts just go on back

I cannot get them free

With every ounce of strength

I try to keep it cool

Everything I do

Makes me look a fool

Give a Care

I I visited a place; where no one gave a care

They didn't wear nice cloths; they didn't do their hair

They hate each other's guts; no one's ever fair

When there was a need; they they'd only stand and stare

No one tried to work; all their time was spare. 

Cars are always parked; they're not going anywhere

Content to live their lives; avoiding pain to bear

Life is nothing more than a sordid self affair

They're always all alone; nothing's ever shared

The only cards they play is the game of solitaire 

They can't experience love; their hearts are in despair

I tried to help them out, but they acted unaware 

If someone listened up; I would just declare

Where no one has concern; love is never there

Savoring

I write a letter every day

It seems there's still so much to say

Conversations every night

Just to make my heart feel right

It's not sad and I'll be fine 

I'm always staying in the lines

A void inside for a while

Memories that make me smile

Discoveries oh how I love

Savoring the little stuff

Time can still be a friend

Exposing things that never end

 

Seasons

As the leaves shed their green

And we lose the warming breeze

Like a kite the hammock swings 

The birds we love no longer sing

Mesquitos cease to bite

Geese begin their flight

We'll be alright

Seasons come, refreshing change

Loss and gain in full parade

If we fight and fret the loss

Joy and hope become the cost 

Look ahead, a welcome sight

Time will come for our delight

We'll be alright

 

The Cure

You're acting so devine

Gotta keep my thoughts in line 

Seeking for a sign

In the stars

Hate to be so emphatic 

But my nerves have kinda had it

Maybe I'm an addict

So they say

Your thinking I'm demure

But I've always been sincere

I'm just looking for a cure

Can we find it? 

Claims

Reality claims that we'll never be

I am a dreamer and you are a dream

We're still together in some galaxy

I look to the stars for our story

Every night When I stand in my yard

I watch how happy we are in the stars

Lay my head on the pillow and visit you there

We'll hang out together where nobody cares.

Words and Rhymes

Poetry is heart in words 

Words that pierce notions 

Words that heal and settle

Passion into language

As love celebrates two lives

Words and rhymes give hope

Raining the greatness of life

Onto parched souls 

 

My Machines

My machines and I work through time

To do the tasks how we're designed 

When things don't go the way we will

My machines and I feel no guilt

We're anchored to the ground and stay

When things we love drift away 

The gauges tell me how they feel 

When nothing else in life is real

I speak my mind and they will hear

We never fight and never fear

Always strong through any weather 

We are wearing out together 

Through the Haze

I caught your gaze through the misty haze that was life

We could recognize through soulful eyes 

We belonged

When I lay my head the words we said

Linger still

When the world goes dark inside my heart

You're the song 

The More

The more they love, the more is said

The more they care what's in their head

The more they care the more they feel

The more the same two will reveal

The more the same the more they see

The more the pain when they can't be

The more the pain the more they cry

The more they love how hard they try

The more they love the more it's great

It's always worth the work it takes 

Writing Spree

Virtue strove for higher ground

Nobility as its crown

Raise the standard all should bow

But passion said " I want it now!"

Rules were made for us to break

No one really likes a fake 

Pleasures here; we should partake!

But virtue said you ought to wait

This civil war inside of me

Causing such anxiety

No answer satisfactory

So I am on a writing spree 

  

 

 

Sunrise

When helping just hurts

Trying brings pain

If I choose to ignore 

Let things remain

Indifferent mind

Hard as I try

I can't change my heart 

It won't say good by

So go on ahead

Label our dream

Give it a name

Whatever it seems

I won't give up

Our love's like the sun

Let the earth turn away

A sunrise will come 

Unique

Doesn't really matter

How I try to be unique

I hear my mother in my heart

And my father when I speak

Forte

Complaining's not our forte

But our hands are grasping air

We reach for satisfaction 

To find it isn't there 

We try to be the person

In other people's brains 

But Who can satisfy it?

We all want off that train

Hearts were made for love

And time is running fast

We want to use it all

And also make it last

Choices can be hard

Reality the same

It doesn't make it false

No one is to blame

Cutting off what hurts

keeping what's been earned

Doesn't end a thing

As long as we have learned

Love always endures

Will never be dismissed 

We just travel on

The other person missed

Faraway

Everyone sees that look in her eyes

A faraway thought is there

With every pause life brings

Her eyes look away and stare

Could it be me in those dreamy eyes?

I don't have to dream alone

She's always been in my thoughts

Whenever my mind would roam

My life's intention

Every desire

Is to do what I can

To find that fire

We're not good at working things out

I can act like the worst buffoon

But I promise with all my heart

Not to give her a single wound

So if you see her dreaming

Gazing out into the blue 

Please just let her know 

That I am dreaming too.
