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
