Treasure Ship
Treasure ship, treasure ship Out of sight you slipped My, oh my, where can you be Did you sink What may I think Out in the deep blue sea Where did you go I really don’t know And a mystery it is How will I find you In a sea so blue Beyond the fog and mist Important you are I hope you’re not far Please don’t leave me behind For in the night I think you might Leave me something to find Every day “Somewhere” I say In that cold night mist You’re out there alright I know I’m right My beautiful treasure ship Midnight Stars My eyelids feel heavy Ready to fall My brain says "No, You've got a phone call" Then I think What'd I forget Don't know, don't care One little bit I'm ready to sleep Away the nights Without a thought Of the maybe's or mights Just let them go As I drift into peace For a whole four hours Or maybe just three Then I'll wake up And do it again The drill and grind Run, slave, drink What a day And night to come With heavy clouds And barely sun I'd rather fly With loving angels Through the night And fear no danger Then slowly land Awake in awe Like a rainbow covered My every flaw And gave my heart It's own special wings Just to hold One special thing Sunrise Her dove was alive Flying soft Over, under, Through the loft With barely a lift And a small, quick glide Her heart went soaring Above sky high Floating, drifting, And turning around To find the answer She knew was spellbound And followed her heart Wherever it lead To say the words That needed be said And took a leap Further beyond The sun, the moon, And stars above Just to stop The one true thing She knew she needed Just to sing And lift her heart Over the edge Pushing it to The deepest ledge Only to see The world she knew Had always been hers Forever true Truth Truth is honest Truth is daring Truth can be Very scaring Truth is silent Truth is still Truth is fire Through the hills Truth will always Stand alone Take or leave it As your own Truth will never Change for you Just as sky Is always blue Truth can shake The ground of earth On your days Of feeling worth And make you see All there is From beginning To the end Truth will find us In our soul Even when We tell it no It never lies Or fades away It's simply there To never stray Losing Shattered pieces Of broken glass Under my feet And cutting past The naked skin And flesh of one Tiny dream So undone No longer seen Or even heard Simply gone Somewhere obsurd Far away Soon forgotten Like old tomatoes Soft and rotten Yes that is The way it is With one mistake Or something missed Then it remains In memory For only my thoughts In death to see And waits a chance To come back strong Better and wiser Forever long Without a second Loss of thought Simply there To wait a toss My Love Song My heart sings Like an angels god With nothing but love Heavier than fog Drowning out My fear and hate That slowly chokes The lonely days And brings right out A joyful soul I never thought I'd get to know Until I found The truest words Whistling through Like humming birds That made me smile And even laugh Without a cloud Of gray to stand Catching my thoughts And every pulse Growing stronger As tall as the walls That once enclosed me With fear to love Holding on To every grudge But now I know The heart is true Loving me Loving you Small Town Flowers, flowers Soft and gentle Waving in the wind To little ones Loved ones Or grandmas with Baskets passing by Roses, tulips Or lillies of pink Daisies, begonias So cheerful and yellow With panting dogs And their master Running by As they inhale the scent So pleasantly sweet Of the crisp spring air With love birds nestled Under shady trees Chirping and feeding their babies Of worms and such This peaceful town With lively festivals And cheerful faces Filling the sidewalks With chatting voices Stays tucked in the middle Of country roads Just for neighbors To share and live The Perfect Dance Her tutu was ruffled With ribbons and bows So perfectly pink And dainty with lace Her points were both tied As she was ready to dance With the entire stage Just under her feet She twirled and leaped As light as a feather And soft as the wind As a carefree bird Without any effort As though it was magic Just as any Ballerina could do The music played on As her heart then followed And all the lights shined Her every move Downstage, up, then back again While many eyes watched Amazed in awe As though stars were filling Their every doubt Of humbled life That was left behind Just for the eve Then with the last note As the music then faded Like a fantasy ghost She landed in grace With a bow to the floor From her tiny waist Not missing a step Then she lifted her chin And fluttered her arms Off to a distance As the curtains then closed Leaving them breathless As though a dream had come true The Wild So soft with beauty The tigers are vicious Without any fear Never tame, never scared But patient and calm As they prowl amongst The wild earth In open land For they are king Of all the other wild With their darkest eyes And elongated whiskers They hunt without fear They sleep without fear And when they run With their massive paws Nothing can stop them Not even man For man is their enemy Not their predator Not even their prey To live another day In all the horizon Of night and day Knowing that man Could never live without fear Sleep without fear Or eat without fear For we live in war With mother earth And all it’s life So true and simple With only peace So silent and still Tough Love You will not Fuck with my heart Anymore I will prove you wrong Many times over For no man will ever Take away My loving heart… ever It is kind and gentle To any human soul With a sky of compassion That you would never understand Or even know if it bit you Because you have failed To show your love at all Through many troubled times The ups and downs I can’t even count For when you broke it You were not a man Not even a boy But a coward in disguise How wrong was I To think you actually Gave a damm About anyone but you Yes I’m mad And yes I’m hurt But in the end I will be fine And you will be Out of my heart Forever to no end And not a single tear Will be left of me The fool will vanish And all you will see is Simply a smile That says “Yes, I’m fine. Yes, I’m over you.” Soul Mates The blood of my soul Reaches for you With roses so red Deeper than wine My love cannot wait I thought it was lust But you proved me wrong So magically For my eyes were blinded With all your joy And all I want is To hold, to care, and comfort Your every smile Your every frown Or tearful mourn And every word of thought you speak I would always trust Your cheerful spirit To never break it Even if it ran with a gun of fear For when I’m with you My life is joy With sweet sentiment Never torn or loathing Of salted pain It simply glides Above ocean water Across the line Of the sun’s horizon So vague and gray To only imagine And then it drifts High into the clouds Hiding the moon’s Darkest light You are my everything My only thing So honest and true I would never leave Or abandon you I’ll be your light Your every breath And hold your heart With gentle care. I'll be yours always If you'll be mine. Peaceful Sleep Oh musical fairy Please sing a tune As the sky turns dark Feeling so blue With just a single Silent star twinkle That makes all the music Come out to life And sprinkle my ears With many a melodies Filled with words So cheerful and bright Of passion and hope As I then hum along Under my breath With this thing called a voice Singing softly Sining free Without a care Clearing my day From all the words Of life without love So cut throat and dry That makes me cry For all I need Is just a simple Happy old tune To just let it be, just let it be There will soon be an answer So just let it be For then my mind Is content and free Clear as a note With a smile of dreams Still humming along To try and stay in key As now my heart rests And my soul will take wonder With a slow decrescendo To rest my eyes All through the night And sleep in peace A Garden of Smiles My tomatoes grow As I gaze along in solitude Smelling the sweetness So readily ripe As little girls run With the wind in their face And sweet words of music Go dancing in air Bubbles afloat Across the fence From the boy next door Without a care While all around The sun is so bright The tomatoes are ripe As they're picked with pure love From the endless vines I can't help but ask And share a smile Would you like a tomato Or even two Give one to your mother And a friend the other For there are plenty We can share in delight Forgiveness So many times In the past When once I was wild And free like a child I've done and said too many things Without a thought Without a care Feelings were hurt Tears were falling I could feel the pain From many miles These things I wish I could take them back Not even sorry Can change the fact For when I sleep And wake the next morn With a new day clear In front of my life All I can think Is "what can I do To make it right?" And the answer is Nothing but wait Wait for prayer Wait for forgiveness And hope the world Can get you back On your feet To the right path Broken Don't give me sympathy Give me strength For when I cry It's not of anger Or even hate But a wakened dream That being lost With piercing thorns As a fallen angel Is simply a lesson From god knows where To find your way With hope and grace To a better place Where your heart will know From the inside out True, gentle love With a soul of passion And an honest smile That never ends Reaching from heaven And guiding the way To a peaceful heart Waiting for courage That even a child Would understand In the deepest sleep And darkened dreams All to find Simplicity Little Angels Little fingers And little toes Twinkly eyes With dimples and nose Taking in Every sight Every noise Through day and night So innocent Without a care Just loving life With so much flare All they see And all they touch Just makes them smile So very much Grasping on Forever tight To sleep and play With all their might Making noises Making friends With furry dogs And silly cousins Then they dance and sing Like little stars With hugs and kisses From mommy's heart And melt away Your every tear For little angels Have no fear Wishes for Pennies If wishes came true In the blink of an eye For every penny I tossed in the well I'd make a thousand To know you're OK And empty my pockets Without a thought Without a regret Holding you close And loving you always Even through Your days of distraught And cutting words That change your heart I'd promise to give you Every penny I have Until the weight Fills every well Then I'll find another To keep making wishes And tossing my pennies Until your heart Will ache no more The Perfect Day In their heart of all hearts They felt it was right The love, the passion, The deep staring eyes Surrounding their every Breathless move Of eternal bliss So youthful and new Filling their every Thought of being In endless love From the depths of breathing And being lost In each others eyes Holding him close Holding her tight As the music still played Many sweet melodies With friends and family For all to see Because on that day They said "I do" Their dream became life So magically true The Reflections I See Once again I looked in the mirror Wondering what Exactly I saw Was it a ghost Of my past returning Slowly creeping In distorted view Just to remind me How badly I failed In troubled times So dark and alone Without a voice Telling the truth Or was it an angel In disguise Telling me softly Don't give up Don't quit now You've come too far To call it quits Just lift your chin And smile big Restless or not You'll make it far One baby step One day at a time To finish the long Last treacherous mile For either image In the mirror Glaring back At my very soul Has a chance In the day to shine It's brightest dream Of gratitude Or invisible nightmare Of hell and beyond So now it's time To tell the ghost Of lies and deceit Vanish you must To never reflect Once again The fear that lies And hides in dark Just waiting to cease My life within Behind the Wall A torture game She played with his heart Behind the wall Of brick and stone Not letting in An inch of love Or even a smile With soulful eyes She pushed him back And said "let go There is no room For troubled emotions Seeping through This wounded heart Go on your way To find another Broken love Of someone new Who knows no wrong. He said to her "Please don't hide I have nothing But fallen for you No other woman Ignites my spirit The way you do Through eyes of hazel So subtle and sweet As the honey dew I'd rather die Then be so lost Without you near To hear your voice Or even breathe A dream of dreams." He bowed his head To shed a tear And as he did The young girl spoke Of all she knew Words of fire So fierce with anger That scorched his heart Of demented illusions Turning into Ashes of truth "My heart is gone, gone with the wind Behind this wall Of truth within Leave right now Leave you must To never return My heart of dust" When in Doubt Memories They come to life When you least expect Or maybe think twice About the past Haunting your thoughts And creeping back in Your "normal" world Just for a scare Reminding you maybe Just maybe think twice Before you say "yes" Or do something nice As lend a hand Or be a shoulder And slowly hold back Your hearts true worries From another let down Of disappointment Or even worse The shaded lies You can see through their eyes To shatter your hopes From a tiny chance Of true genuine care. So carry you must Your heart so ginger As a new born baby Fragile to words Fears, and doubt To keep it hidden And safe from harm Or a second chance To be broken more Like an angel's wings So damaged from war Many Moons Twinkle, twinkle, Many stars How I wish You weren't so far If I could reach The biggest one I'd give it to The one I love Just to make Their wish come true So brighter than A million moons Happy Rain Sprinkle, sprinkle Little drops Throughout the salty air Wash away The many worries And all the meddling cares Sprinkle, drop Upon the earth And down my arms so clear Upon my tongue They fall and roll To taste the truth so sheer For dreams are lost Int the hills Of dirt and weeds so dry We need the rain To wash away Our sorrows in the sky And as the rain Feeds the earth And every life within Our heart will go Stronger than Every tornado's wind Slightly Dismayed He gave her all Everything she wanted The moon, the stars And the heavens above But still she was sad With tears of a river Lost in a world Of confusion and hope Wishes and dreams She still hadn't seen Of the very man Whose air she breathed As her heart fell in love When they both were young And naive to the world Of hatred and dark But she still yearned for love That had no boundaries Nor vision of wrongs In the hidden lies Just pure unconditional Untamed love As though it was granted From god himself Only for her To seek and reform Just the way She saw in her heart Without an ounce Of love in return Judgement People will judge you No matter what A look, a thought Flaws or not Unfamiliar words Or too many at once Our eyes will look At only the face And see a human Of sins and scars Or stories untold Just to keep Our soul in a box Hiding from fear To things we don't know Without a care At poker face Holding back A helping hand A gentle word Or simple hello For we are only Walking spirits With doubt in our hearts And sins at bay To every other Being in life As our lips are waiting For the right words to say Flying Free Within her little World of hope Bonnie was sleeping Sleeping in dreams With wings so light Light as a feather And wishes so far Beyond her reach To maybe catch A shooting star And take under her wings To fly away To a fantasy world Of never ending Unconditional love So flamboyant And full of life Not even an angel Could open her eyes To see the glaring Sparkle of joy Wading in drops Of a river so pure That Bonnie caresses Holding so dearly Underneath her wings So gentle and free To never let go Forever, not once Sweet Melodies Love is in The air around us In every word And breath we take It's in the hearts Of little children Laughing and playing With nothing but smiles And gentle kisses From those we hold dear It's even from strangers Who say hello Until the day We meet again Real love is never Harsh or cruel It never seeks Revenge or pain It's simply there In every nook Waiting to flood Through broken walls And make the world A better place With many a tunes Of sweet melodies Dancing, living, And loving so free While nothing more And nothing less Could possibly give us Our deepest regrets After the Storm A rainbow, some daisies And drops of dew Oh how I love The fresh morning view With rays from the sun So beautiful to see Blinding a life Of the muddy memories The ruffling leaves Through the soft, subtle wind Whispering a tune As they flow and bend While the grass still lays From the sleepless night Of pounding rain That screams in delight For mother nature Has spoke once again From the rolling clouds With a seamless end Oh how marry And bright it will be After storms have passed And fresh air you will breathe Truth Do not defy The words I speak Of untold thoughts And dreams of the heart For they are my own To no one else For no one to judge Accept who I love From the inside out On the Verge I'm all strung out Strung out on love Running through My every vein A plague of disease Squeezing my life Into every single Fathom of ease It can't escape The flaming desire Desperately reaching For hell to break loose As it seeps through every Breath I take Inhaling the curse My mind so rejects Falling deeper Under my skin And into my dreams Of a dilusional life And fantasy world Where real love begins Fighting with passion Until no end A Girl's Poker Face Her luck had been drawn Sharp as a sketch From the many cards Unfolding quickly As a water fall From god's green earth Shaping her every Thought of truth The precious diamonds With dangerous beauty Jagged and clear As a shattered pane Yet soft as her heart Broken and bruised Still beating stronger Than a criminal mind With a thousand spades But the club in her hand She held so fierce Was lucky number seven With a spade as well And as she laid them For players to see Three aces followed To finish her call And only then As she collected the chips Had she won her own game From holding onto Her straight poker face In My Dreams I've had many dreams Of different sorts Memories, fears Doubts and trouble But none come close To what I see In every day life Of reality The winter storms So brutal and cold Chilling your soul From the inside out And the summer heat Making you sweat As it burns your skin Like a roasted torch While dangerous lightening Strikes where it pleases More than we need Fearing death Yet in those storms Of danger extremes The moon still shines A glimpse of hope Guarding our sleep As a dim night light And all we can wish Hope, and pray Is a drop of our dreams Come to life Through each passing day Nine Lives To be a cat How awesome is that? Sleep when your tired Play when you want And only with yarn Or a ball of fur Eat when you're hungry Then lick your paws clean No need for a bath Then take a nap And sleep some more On the bed On the couch Under a blanket Whatever is warm And get all the love Whenever you want Who could top that Besides maybe a dog Because even then They only live once Through the Walls Cascaded the wall As she walked Down the hall Of darkened drapes And window shades Letting in The moon of fall Piercing eyes Through the pane She saw the limbs Of long disdain Brushing up Against the walls Outside her room As a beckon call To open up Just a hint And let the breeze Come whisper in To ease the mind And let her rest In soothing words Of no request Accept to listen In her dreams Stand alone Both strong and free Imprisoned Out of time Out of words Many things Go unheard Such as life Barreling through Not even knowing What is true Until it comes To a crashing halt Then who's to blame Who is at fault? Is it the reckless So unaware Of their surroundings Without a care Until they speak Of words so cruel To only belittle What left is true For they are not A loving soul But a dangerous monster Of no control That feeds upon It's own misery It's shallow thoughts And misbeliefs To only smile And be dilusioned When others are left In pain and confusion Holding On Keep my hand Upon your heart Know I've loved you From the start Never let it Fade away Even through The passing days In your darkest Times of life Keep holding on With every stride And never let Your pride consume But seek my love Through and through Dancing Angels Her soul was dancing Through heavenly skies Upon her toes To the extreme That not even god Could make her stop For she had been filled With joy and delight From the inside out Of heavenly angels Watching over Her every step Her every move As she wanted to breathe And wanted to sing The words of sorrow Leaving her heart To set her free Of rocks no longer Keeping her grounded As all she needed Through the dreams ahead Was her dancing feet To twirl, spin, fall, and rise Throughout the journey So close ahead Her eyes would see For the rest of her days Eternally Talk Ain't Cheap You can't not write It's in your bones It's in your soul Just let it out From pen to paper Set it free And see what unfolds Front to back For fifty pages Play with the kids Play with the dog Go hiking Hold hands Tickle their toes Call a friend And let it go For if you don't The words will die Time will pass And the heart is lost As the mind will follow Confused in a world Of mindless thoughts Don't hold back What sets you free For life is cheap But it's story is priceless Love Whispers Love is soft Love is unspoken Love is not A prize of token Love is gentle Love is kind It never fades Even in tides Love is silent Love is still In our soul And through the hills As we seek To find and capture Before it is gone As a fantasy rapture Love will never Die or fade It simply grows As it waits Within our heart Of deepest pain Never troubled Never vein My Friendly Clouds I love the clouds In sun or rain Hovering the sky Large and small Of all different sorts Floating by To say hello In every season Every year Constantly moving But never change For when I look up Underneath a tree With a summer breeze Clouds are still clouds That never leave And that's fine by me Surrender To the world unknown Living life To the fullest of ease Letting go Of fears and doubts That can tangle your world To flames across The universe To surrender is not Giving up It's moving forward To better things Our heart can see Through thick and thin Of tormented times Finally left In nothing but ashes Stop See the beautiful Take a breath Open your heart and Pray for hope Sing a song Taste the love Only smile, even in Pain. Then Stand alone Take no shame Of all the past and Peace will be Stronger still To all in grace Only giving Purity Winter Haze In the winter wonders Through dreary days Walking through all The snow and sleet That falls at our feet Trying to find The walk way home Alone, so cold With brutal winds Circling around A chilling face And flesh so frail O how alive The frigid air feels Awake and fresh Piercing all pores As the sharp morning wind Yet still we walk Wrapped in all wonder Holding on tight To a coat of blanket That shields away All the bitter frost bites And shadows of light On a quiet day Where just a few miles away Is the end of the road Leading straight back to home Of brick and stone Where the fire is warm And love still awaits More pure than white snow Kiss at the Beach Butterfly wishes And mistletoe kisses The fresh salty air Oh dear how we miss it Love in the air With lips barely there Soft and gentle For comfort in despair With a rush from the grain Of sand in the rain Drenching with joy Of no longer pain As the sun peaks through A dusty sky blue Boats passing by Of a glorious view With whispering winds And beautiful pelicans Flying to shelter Until the rain ends That is the dream Of love meant to be Deep in our hearts Through the deepest of seas The Finish Line A marathon We run each day Keeping focus Breathing hard With every step We've come so far Not looking back Until we've reached The finish line To break the ribbon Jump for joy And only vow To never again Exhaust our soul To the extreme That breaks our sweat And breaks our tears With every tiny Mile we reach That one last step The one last breath And never quit The final run All the Shades I'm far from perfect Not even close If I said I was God would laugh With a gentle soul Reminding me of all The flaws, tumbles And ocean of tears Teaching me that Perfect is only a word Of no true definition But to each one's thoughts, Dreams, and visions Of their own true destiny From their depths within Which is where it can turn To so many shades of gray You can't even see Where it changes From dark to light There is no line It simply does Just as our soul Invisible to touch Is how we live How we love And how we give Without any anger Without any hate Without revenge Nor jealousy or envy But simply giving With all our heart Even when We're broken and torn To no avail For perfect is not The word to seek Or life to live Perfect Is simply love Treasure Ship

He said to her "Please don't hide I have nothing But fallen for you No other woman Ignites my spirit The way you do Through eyes of hazel So subtle and sweet As the honey dew I'd rather die Then be so lost Without you near To hear your voice Or even breathe A dream of dreams." He bowed his head To shed a tear And as he did The young girl spoke Of all she knew Words of fire So fierce with anger That scorched his heart Of demented illusions Turning into Ashes of truth "My heart is gone, gone with the wind Behind this wall Of truth within Leave right now Leave you must To never return My heart of dust" When in Doubt Memories They come to life When you least expect Or maybe think twice About the past Haunting your thoughts And creeping back in Your "normal" world Just for a scare Reminding you maybe Just maybe think twice Before you say "yes" Or do something nice As lend a hand Or be a shoulder And slowly hold back Your hearts true worries From another let down Of disappointment Or even worse The shaded lies You can see through their eyes To shatter your hopes From a tiny chance Of true genuine care. So carry you must Your heart so ginger As a new born baby Fragile to words Fears, and doubt To keep it hidden And safe from harm Or a second chance To be broken more Like an angel's wings So damaged from war Many Moons Twinkle, twinkle, Many stars How I wish You weren't so far If I could reach The biggest one I'd give it to The one I love Just to make Their wish come true So brighter than A million moons Happy Rain Sprinkle, sprinkle Little drops Throughout the salty air Wash away The many worries And all the meddling cares Sprinkle, drop Upon the earth And down my arms so clear Upon my tongue They fall and roll To taste the truth so sheer For dreams are lost Int the hills Of dirt and weeds so dry We need the rain To wash away Our sorrows in the sky And as the rain Feeds the earth And every life within Our heart will go Stronger than Every tornado's wind Slightly Dismayed He gave her all Everything she wanted The moon, the stars And the heavens above But still she was sad With tears of a river Lost in a world Of confusion and hope Wishes and dreams She still hadn't seen Of the very man Whose air she breathed As her heart fell in love When they both were young And naive to the world Of hatred and dark But she still yearned for love That had no boundaries Nor vision of wrongs In the hidden lies Just pure unconditional Untamed love As though it was granted From god himself Only for her To seek and reform Just the way She saw in her heart Without an ounce Of love in return Judgement People will judge you No matter what A look, a thought Flaws or not Unfamiliar words Or too many at once Our eyes will look At only the face And see a human Of sins and scars Or stories untold Just to keep Our soul in a box Hiding from fear To things we don't know Without a care At poker face Holding back A helping hand A gentle word Or simple hello For we are only Walking spirits With doubt in our hearts And sins at bay To every other Being in life As our lips are waiting For the right words to say Flying Free Within her little World of hope Bonnie was sleeping Sleeping in dreams With wings so light Light as a feather And wishes so far Beyond her reach To maybe catch A shooting star And take under her wings To fly away To a fantasy world Of never ending Unconditional love So flamboyant And full of life Not even an angel Could open her eyes To see the glaring Sparkle of joy Wading in drops Of a river so pure That Bonnie caresses Holding so dearly Underneath her wings So gentle and free To never let go Forever, not once Sweet Melodies Love is in The air around us In every word And breath we take It's in the hearts Of little children Laughing and playing With nothing but smiles And gentle kisses From those we hold dear It's even from strangers Who say hello Until the day We meet again Real love is never Harsh or cruel It never seeks Revenge or pain It's simply there In every nook Waiting to flood Through broken walls And make the world A better place With many a tunes Of sweet melodies Dancing, living, And loving so free While nothing more And nothing less Could possibly give us Our deepest regrets After the Storm A rainbow, some daisies And drops of dew Oh how I love The fresh morning view With rays from the sun So beautiful to see Blinding a life Of the muddy memories The ruffling leaves Through the soft, subtle wind Whispering a tune As they flow and bend While the grass still lays From the sleepless night Of pounding rain That screams in delight For mother nature Has spoke once again From the rolling clouds With a seamless end Oh how marry And bright it will be After storms have passed And fresh air you will breathe Truth Do not defy The words I speak Of untold thoughts And dreams of the heart For they are my own To no one else For no one to judge Accept who I love From the inside out On the Verge I'm all strung out Strung out on love Running through My every vein A plague of disease Squeezing my life Into every single Fathom of ease It can't escape The flaming desire Desperately reaching For hell to break loose As it seeps through every Breath I take Inhaling the curse My mind so rejects Falling deeper Under my skin And into my dreams Of a dilusional life And fantasy world Where real love begins Fighting with passion Until no end A Girl's Poker Face Her luck had been drawn Sharp as a sketch From the many cards Unfolding quickly As a water fall From god's green earth Shaping her every Thought of truth The precious diamonds With dangerous beauty Jagged and clear As a shattered pane Yet soft as her heart Broken and bruised Still beating stronger Than a criminal mind With a thousand spades But the club in her hand She held so fierce Was lucky number seven With a spade as well And as she laid them For players to see Three aces followed To finish her call And only then As she collected the chips Had she won her own game From holding onto Her straight poker face In My Dreams I've had many dreams Of different sorts Memories, fears Doubts and trouble But none come close To what I see In every day life Of reality The winter storms So brutal and cold Chilling your soul From the inside out And the summer heat Making you sweat As it burns your skin Like a roasted torch While dangerous lightening Strikes where it pleases More than we need Fearing death Yet in those storms Of danger extremes The moon still shines A glimpse of hope Guarding our sleep As a dim night light And all we can wish Hope, and pray Is a drop of our dreams Come to life Through each passing day Nine Lives To be a cat How awesome is that? Sleep when your tired Play when you want And only with yarn Or a ball of fur Eat when you're hungry Then lick your paws clean No need for a bath Then take a nap And sleep some more On the bed On the couch Under a blanket Whatever is warm And get all the love Whenever you want Who could top that Besides maybe a dog Because even then They only live once Through the Walls Cascaded the wall As she walked Down the hall Of darkened drapes And window shades Letting in The moon of fall Piercing eyes Through the pane She saw the limbs Of long disdain Brushing up Against the walls Outside her room As a beckon call To open up Just a hint And let the breeze Come whisper in To ease the mind And let her rest In soothing words Of no request Accept to listen In her dreams Stand alone Both strong and free Imprisoned Out of time Out of words Many things Go unheard Such as life Barreling through Not even knowing What is true Until it comes To a crashing halt Then who's to blame Who is at fault? Is it the reckless So unaware Of their surroundings Without a care Until they speak Of words so cruel To only belittle What left is true For they are not A loving soul But a dangerous monster Of no control That feeds upon It's own misery It's shallow thoughts And misbeliefs To only smile And be dilusioned When others are left In pain and confusion Holding On Keep my hand Upon your heart Know I've loved you From the start Never let it Fade away Even through The passing days In your darkest Times of life Keep holding on With every stride And never let Your pride consume But seek my love Through and through Dancing Angels Her soul was dancing Through heavenly skies Upon her toes To the extreme That not even god Could make her stop For she had been filled With joy and delight From the inside out Of heavenly angels Watching over Her every step Her every move As she wanted to breathe And wanted to sing The words of sorrow Leaving her heart To set her free Of rocks no longer Keeping her grounded As all she needed Through the dreams ahead Was her dancing feet To twirl, spin, fall, and rise Throughout the journey So close ahead Her eyes would see For the rest of her days Eternally Talk Ain't Cheap You can't not write It's in your bones It's in your soul Just let it out From pen to paper Set it free And see what unfolds Front to back For fifty pages Play with the kids Play with the dog Go hiking Hold hands Tickle their toes Call a friend And let it go For if you don't The words will die Time will pass And the heart is lost As the mind will follow Confused in a world Of mindless thoughts Don't hold back What sets you free For life is cheap But it's story is priceless Love Whispers Love is soft Love is unspoken Love is not A prize of token Love is gentle Love is kind It never fades Even in tides Love is silent Love is still In our soul And through the hills As we seek To find and capture Before it is gone As a fantasy rapture Love will never Die or fade It simply grows As it waits Within our heart Of deepest pain Never troubled Never vein My Friendly Clouds I love the clouds In sun or rain Hovering the sky Large and small Of all different sorts Floating by To say hello In every season Every year Constantly moving But never change For when I look up Underneath a tree With a summer breeze Clouds are still clouds That never leave And that's fine by me Surrender To the world unknown Living life To the fullest of ease Letting go Of fears and doubts That can tangle your world To flames across The universe To surrender is not Giving up It's moving forward To better things Our heart can see Through thick and thin Of tormented times Finally left In nothing but ashes Stop See the beautiful Take a breath Open your heart and Pray for hope Sing a song Taste the love Only smile, even in Pain. Then Stand alone Take no shame Of all the past and Peace will be Stronger still To all in grace Only giving Purity Winter Haze In the winter wonders Through dreary days Walking through all The snow and sleet That falls at our feet Trying to find The walk way home Alone, so cold With brutal winds Circling around A chilling face And flesh so frail O how alive The frigid air feels Awake and fresh Piercing all pores As the sharp morning wind Yet still we walk Wrapped in all wonder Holding on tight To a coat of blanket That shields away All the bitter frost bites And shadows of light On a quiet day Where just a few miles away Is the end of the road Leading straight back to home Of brick and stone Where the fire is warm And love still awaits More pure than white snow Kiss at the Beach Butterfly wishes And mistletoe kisses The fresh salty air Oh dear how we miss it Love in the air With lips barely there Soft and gentle For comfort in despair With a rush from the grain Of sand in the rain Drenching with joy Of no longer pain As the sun peaks through A dusty sky blue Boats passing by Of a glorious view With whispering winds And beautiful pelicans Flying to shelter Until the rain ends That is the dream Of love meant to be Deep in our hearts Through the deepest of seas The Finish Line A marathon We run each day Keeping focus Breathing hard With every step We've come so far Not looking back Until we've reached The finish line To break the ribbon Jump for joy And only vow To never again Exhaust our soul To the extreme That breaks our sweat And breaks our tears With every tiny Mile we reach That one last step The one last breath And never quit The final run All the Shades I'm far from perfect Not even close If I said I was God would laugh With a gentle soul Reminding me of all The flaws, tumbles And ocean of tears Teaching me that Perfect is only a word Of no true definition But to each one's thoughts, Dreams, and visions Of their own true destiny From their depths within Which is where it can turn To so many shades of gray You can't even see Where it changes From dark to light There is no line It simply does Just as our soul Invisible to touch Is how we live How we love And how we give Without any anger Without any hate Without revenge Nor jealousy or envy But simply giving With all our heart Even when We're broken and torn To no avail For perfect is not The word to seek Or life to live Perfect Is simply love |
My Ocean
Crashing waves In destiny Water falls Into a stream Trickling down Strong but slow Washing away The overflow Ready to rest And push away The broken shells And sandy caves To only leave Salted water And half foot prints That quietly call Yes I was here For just a split second To listen and see All the racket But then I left To be on my way Down the beach For another wave Only to find A breathless sunset So far away But felt it rest All around The deepest ocean That never settled But kept in motion Happy Heart My heart is screaming Not sure why Like it's scared, happy, Or maybe just high High in the clouds But mostly cloud nine And today with me That's perfectly fine I'll keep it tucked in So it won't run away It likes to do that Sort of frolic and play Like a little girl With lolly pops Outside in rain Catching rain drops And maybe a flower Or two, or three To smell the sweetness Of honey and bees Yes I think If you really believe Your heart will sing And fly through the trees And take you places You never could see Or even imagine Accept in your dreams Bitter Days of gray And nights of dark One thing I've learned From light with a spark Is each passing day Of falling in love My heart keeps falling As a wounded dove So very true And innocent Yet torn and broken From gusts of wind And now that fog Has lifted away My heart still aches In mysterious ways As though I can't Feel a thing Hear a note Or simple ring To wake my eyes Of jagged deceit And see how much Is at my feet While all around Love is still With me, in me Forever until I give it back True and all Catching every Tiny fall His Heart I feel his troubles And his pain I feel his every Thought of day I love him so It scares my heart But love him more Beyond the stars I love his every Cheerful smile His every word From every mile I love his every Gentle touch Clasped to me All night long And then I feel His heart call out To say the words Without a doubt I won't let go I'll hold on tight Every single Day and night I love him so Forever true Every second Through and through Summer Hide behind The trees of shade Safe and cool Out of the rays Put a blanket On the grass Have a picnic And just relax Then have a sip Of sweet lemonade And pucker your lips From the bitter taste Then watch the clouds Roll on by Turning gray Into the night With a few stars out And foggy moon Glowing down To stare at you And rest your head On the bark To dream a dream Throughout the dark Of all the many Wishes and dreams Like a pot of gold You'll never see Mine I can't wait To see his face And hold him in my arms With just a little Room to wiggle And never run afar His heart is mine And always shines To make me sing and smile Every day Every way For quite a long while All it takes For us to make A sweet and lucious song Is just a note And drink to toast Then off we go along To far beyond Ocean walls And even the mountains high A different place Like outer space Beyond the darkest skies I'll take his hand To understand Just how true it is Beyond a doubt And loudly shout Forever til the end Darkest Knight In distant dreams And memories I still remember What I see A tall dark man Of deepest eyes Looking down As I cry To take away My fears and pain From troubled hearts So desperately vein And whisper close I'll be right here To wipe away Your every tear And then he looked Into my eyes I'll be your love Of darkest knights I'll hold your hand I'll hold your heart To never again Fall apart And make your day The deepest love To only be From angels above Piano Lullaby As she passed through the hall On her way to bed She glanced over to see the piano Silently waiting to be played A mellow tune of love or hope Or even romance Of a foreign stranger No lights were on But still a shadow Of musical notes she could see Waiting to sing Or hum and play What tune shall I play Her tired mind wondered As she sat on the bench Wooden and cold In her red silk gown Her fingers just played Wherever they went Ever so softly White note or black They left her drifting Sweet melodies Through all the rooms And windows so tall Her heart then sang And fluttered with cheer Not wanting to sleep But play all through To the wee morning hours Until gentle fingers Were tired and worn And could play no more As the last note played And faded away As a bird in the trees She rested her head Upon the lid Of her magical instrument Silent once again And closed her eyes As she slumbered to peace Once again The Moon and Me In the still Desert air Warmth surrounds me As an invisible blanket I didn't invite Grasping me tight Without even a star To guide the way home Or make a wish As I settle in And lay to rest for the night For all I can see From the darkest sky Is a moon so illume To every eye in the world Gazing down at me As though it knows And understands I'm here to rest Drifting to sleep With the sound of silence Listening close To my inner soul's Blanket of truth Throughout the dreams Of darker days A heart never forgets And find my way On this weary travel To a foreign place I once called home Native Spirit Listen to The native tongue Calling the wild In harmony For mother earth Beyond the horizon Telling all To rest in peace The mustang's wild Crazy horse Runs free and far Beyond the hills And through the river Reflecting spirits That speak in silent Of strength and will While the coyote howls At the moon in awe Echoing through The mystical air To search his mate And find the path Back to land Where all is fair Then all the wild Kingdom of free Come flooding back For peace in despair As native tongue Begins to fade In desert land Of nothingness For mother earth Then falls upon To rest their soul Of dancing smoke As the eagles soar Calling out To pray in peace Forbid the mindless Forgive the wrong For the wild heart Simply loves all Mr. Coffee My morning love That wakes my soul Hot and steamy Lingering the house With a strong aroma So bitter in the air My eyes peel open From a dreamful sleep With my head in the clouds As my taste buds perk Dancing in delight Ready to taste The very first sip Of my one true love Mr. Coffe With just the perfect Spoon full of sugar Melting away All my troubles And add just a hint So pleasantly sweet To warm my heart And cold fingertips That wrap around tight The perfect mug With a warm fuzzy robe Or blanket and slippers At the small kitchen table For such a delight Now ready to sip And smell the taste Warming my lips And the tip of my tongue Ah, yes I say For life is now clear Drinking away What never strays Mr. Coffee My morning love Love In the Rain Under the rain She stood alone Drenched with fear But still holding on To words unspoken With no umbrella To protect her soul So instead she looked up And danced in the flood Never to stop In a wait for clear skies Nor once look back At invisible shadows She simply followed Her own special path To a garden of pedals Scented with welcome To let her be And delight in the sun Behind the gray clouds Bringing a smile Of hope and grace Upon her Kind and wondering face For the rain was her song That spoke every word Guiding her through A hazy world Of things uncertain Or danger in disguise Only to find An answer of hope An answer of love To grow as tall As the wild sun flowers A Mask of Lies A mask of beauty So pure and simple Without any scars Of aging and worn Is it a lie To cover our fear Avoiding the thought That hearts will break And love will fall When we least expect it Sudden and ugly Without any hint Of a subtle warning For the mask I wear Will never leave It simply reflects The numbness within Blind as a ghost And deaf as the wind Only to see A shadow of moon On the grounded earth My heart is weak With memories so flawed And dreams are long lost As my mask will then fall To shatter in pieces Broken and crumbled Leaving behind The face I then wear Of bruises, cracks And cobweb eyes To see only what's left Of a joyous life Kisses in the Rain Count for me The drops of rain Splashing on the ground Piddle piddle pat, Piddle piddle pat Don't look down Look up at the sky To close your wondering eyes Drip drip yum Drip drip yum Without a tiny sound Reach your arms around And clasp together tight Run run run Run drops run As fingertips are gazing down your back With the rain still falling Falling trickle fall Drip drip fall To wash away the tears Can you count the drops For the many that you felt Trickle trickle run Trickle trickle run Over dampened fear For love is in the air And through your every breath Hush don't cry Hush don't cry Just whisper in my ear I'll never be gone You'll never be alone Just here with you tonight From heaven's water fall Caressing in delight As though the stars have vanished on Drowning With Love As the gates let open And the flood begins Knocking you down To push and sway Through crashing waves So fierce with strength And running wild Without a chance To even breathe All you can think Is this is it Just how do I swim And come out alive Through a sea that has no give As the sky meets ocean Wall to wall Somewhere beyond What eyes can see Of only an illusion That light or hope Is anywhere near Gasping for air To only keep floating, Drifting, and looking For life beyond The silent sands And broken shells As pain and silence Of deepest despair Are slashing through Your world of dreams That not even an angel Could understand But simply cries To hear your shame Of darkest pain From many miles Of another world To giving hope, Giving peace From calming waves To simply breathe And love again A Life of Memories The clock is ticking Ticking my friend Ticking away Our precious time And slipping through Our fingertips Without our knowing Or even aware Of the memories we carry In our heart every day Telling the world How grand life is For time is short Shorter than we think And must be run With thoughts of ease And thoughts of strength To keep on focus With love and ideas That won't stop growing For one and all As time keeps ticking And slipping away Without a word Yet loud as the chimes From every hour Of every day In the life we live Until we're dust And live no more Girlfriends Forever Hear my words As they're only for you Hear my heart Rippling through Feel my tears Trickling down Rolling over My hidden frown If you listen Close and calm You'll hear my secret Memories so fond Of loving times Sharing fear And being there For all the years Until you left And ran away From troubled words We didn't say But heard so clear Through and through Spoken anger In clouds of blue Please don't look back Or look away I just want you in My life to stay Always, forever Through sun and rain Friends for always Each passing day For when we're old And gray with wrinkles We can still be friends Like the stars that twinkle The Best Medicine I love the rain And it loves me For when it's gray We always meet It cleans my spirit To wash away The fruit so dry Of musty haze It's fresh clean drops So tiny and clear Soak away Life's marbled fear To let me drink It's water so pure Better than any Doctor's cure It doesn't hurt A broken heart Or burn like the sun From miles a far It's simply there To soak the wounds As I jump in puddles Feeling blue Then come out clean Drenched in all And grow to love The heavens fall A Happy Child A smile, A jump A playful cheer No homework or chores On a sunny day Accept to play With bubbles to pop Splash, splash, pop Hop, skip, pop To twist and turn Then blow some more Perfect round bubbles Or big silly blobs Floating up high Float, float away As clouds in the sky Like little butterflies Without a care Without any worries Just dance in the streets With festivals near People chatting Of words sincere To play, to be So simple and free As a child with care And bubbles of love To fill every day Of joyous fun Sweet Melodies He sang to her A lullaby Simple and sweet As she closed her eyes To rest her head Upon his shoulder He wrapped his arm Around her gently With hands of strength So soft but firm And as he sang With a voice of heaven Into her whispering Ears allure He kissed her forehead Then her cheek And said the words She needed to hear I love you now And always will You're an angel You're my star Just from heaven's Ray of sun Woman of Shadow Did you see The tiny rain drops Fall upon her face Did you see Her standing tall With dignity and grace For when she walks And speaks with thoughts Of intellect so rare People stop Just to listen As they stand in awe to stare Amazed and struck To hear a voice Like an angel to declare That rain or shine Either is fine She'll stand to take a dare Up in Smoke It was five o'clock Her day had been rough With stress boiling over Like satin's revenge Just waiting to scorch The boss, the husband, Or little miss perfect All decked out in pearls And only two dollars Left until Friday. Just one more word One single word To make her cringe Would set her off As she sat at the wheel In the light of silence To wait in wonder Who would dare To test her patience With fury and might Would it be The delivery man Who whistled outside Unloading the truck Or would it be The dog that barks Every day at the fence While cats in the ally Go hissing and jumping Through aluminum cans For scraps of food Covered in dirt. She didn't care One damn little bit As she blinked her long lashes And then took a drag That went swirling through The rusty old car Of torn leather seats And wheels just barely To drive the paved roads. She was ready to fire With a pissed off look She'd never seen As her finger then nudged To pull on the trigger One, two, three And off she went With a whole in the ceiling As the after smoke twirled In front of her face. A little girl screamed While her mom was in shock But continued to walk As the woman just sat there And closed her eyes As though all the rage Just left her soul. One more drag And one more blow Of addictive smoke With whispering clouds To wonder and leave Through the cracked open window While cars passed by As though nothing went wrong. Relieved with a laugh She turned the car keys With her hands on the wheel To pull out of sight And become just another Figure of sorts Lost in a daze On the busy road home. My Garden of Dreams Have you seen The tiny red roses Waiting to grow A garden of love Beyond the wildest Blazing forest Of any land Sea, or sky Just plant a seed To sprinkle with love And let it shine Through all the days And watch it blossom For miles beyond Inch by inch One day at a time Filling with beauty And the scent of angel So godly and pure That even a thorn Only feels like a feather To tickle your nose And flutter your heart Without a scratch Of broken skin For that is the garden Of endless love That never stops growing With a seed of hope And endless dreams Bursting to life For all to see Big Dreams, Little Wishes No matter how much I hope and pray My heart still whispers You can’t think that way You’ll only end up With a broken heart Just like you did From the very start With shattered dreams So far out of reach That not even a professor Could learn or teach So I think to myself What can I say In this world of passing Strangers each day I’ll just keep trying To reach for the stars Run like the wind On a marathon far And maybe I’ll catch A star or two To make a wish That forever comes true Floating in Heaven I'm floating with affection So high in the clouds I don't want to stop Or ever come down I just want to breath Every last drop Of heart filled emotion To the rim's very top Without a rope Holding me tight Through ragged days And endless nights Seeking revenge Or twisted truth Distorted words With nothing of use I want nothing Nothing to do But float in the clouds Of this heavenly view Classy Lady Standing tall With courage and will Not afraid To speak her mind The words of truth Painful and harsh She takes it all In elegant stride Without a stuttered Single word Simply clear Smooth and sharp As a cutting knife Through walls of stone She stands her ground Without hesitation Without the batting Of darkest eyes This is me A woman of grace A woman of taste Simple with The wildest heart Take or leave it If you dare The soul I am There's no compare Waves of Inspiration Take a chance Lift your wings Have a dream For infinity And dare to jump Dare to run Dare to leap Over the rocks And through the lakes Of troubled waters And poisonous snakes Lurking close With eyes of deceit For even when You stumble and fall With scrapes and bruises Deeper than love Your heart knows better Better than loss That once you cross The rapid waves Your dreams will live Within your soul To never leave And never grow old Delusions In the distance Her eyes could see What only she thought Was a memory Waiting to live And breathe again Free of worries And death to defend Giving only A glimpse of hope That teased her reach Of a dangling rope Until it finally Flooded her soul Of truth and beauty From words untold She couldn't believe The once lost was real As her heart bled open To the love she could feel And captured her every Unfilled breath With no end in sight Or a chance to resist Word Up Stuck on words That won't leave my lips My mouth is empty Accept for spit I could spit at the cat He wouldn't like that Or maybe he would Then lick for a bath As I still sit in silence Waiting for words To start falling out Like a river unleashed Then maybe I'll write them One word to the next From pen to paper Like the start of a story I'll tape on my desk And come back to read As a reminder for later Vanishing Invisible bruises Welding in pain Swimming through Every tiny vein Burning through flesh And shattered heart Deeper than swords Piercing so far While every ounce Of hope and vision Of every dream And intuition Simply fade To a love no longer Becoming extinct As wisdom grows stronger The Rainbow Ahead No story to tell No thoughts to speak My words are lost In a dream of rain Spilling down Upon my face To shiver and chill In muddy puddles Cloudy and thick Without a reflection Until the sun Warms my heart With dancing rays Upon my skin So fresh and delightful Making my shadow Hold on tight Until there's a rainbow At the end With many sprinkles Of love and joy Surrounding my soul"s Every breath To Cherish Live to love And love to live We only live once That's why it's a gift Cherish each day As if it's your last Don't let any anger Hold your happiness back Give away smiles Shake someone's hand Be empathetic To help understand Have no regrets Cling to your soul Just keep learning Each day we grow old And make the best Of your dreams come true With those you love dear And accept the real you Young Love Lips to lips Nose to nose Kiss me softly While I curl my toes A whisper here A giggle there Your fingers brush Through my hair And tickle my neck With your fingertips As I close my eyes And make a wish Your warmest hands Upon my shoulders Melt my heart And send me over To the stars And back again To finish off Where it all began Intoxicate Me Kiss my lips So tender and sweet All through the night Holding tight To every single Tiny breath I'll inhale As your lips Are touching mine And taste the sweetest Salty air Of brandy wine So red and rude To take away My every thought Of losing you My heart can't take Another break As it fathoms Your every word Every touch I'll sip a little more Until your love Will give no more And close my eyes To dream of dreams And love your lips Still even more There's not a single Word unspoken From your lips I can ignore Your gentle soul Gives it all away Through your sparkling Eyes so deep Just cross your heart And promise this You'll love me always With drunken bliss Learn to Fly Through thick and thin Since you were little Elementary kids Suddenly decides To kill you with words And bleeding heart To no return Do you forgive And let it slide Or lock the door From behind If they say No words of sorrow To take it back For a new tomorrow A friend they never Were before Just an eagle Whose wings were torn At the Beach It's my life Just little old me Wishing and dreaming Of things to see Such as a rainbow Every day With little children To frolic and play In sand at the beach With our feet in the waves Making castles All sunny day With my toes in the sand And sand in my hair Smiling with peace As I dream to dare And wake up to The sun's horizon Fresh and new So never divided Silence In the still Desert air The wind blows soft Of cold and chill Upon my face Like a whisper I can't ignore And feel the silence In the dusk So very far From my eyes But oh so close To a gentle heart That no one soul Could understand Accept the angels Within a dream As we come to rest With love of ease And make a wish Upon the stars To conquer fear And ride through sands Of dangerous mountains With stories untold And truth beyond What our heart believes To never once let Our dreams fly away A Winter Face The frigid air Upon my face Chilling my tongue With tiny snow flakes As I dance So merry in awe Saying goodbye To the beautiful fall With ground covered snow As a blanket for days Through a cold and storming Wintery maze With rolling clouds So gray and humble While the sun is resting And we forget our troubles Through the icy Freezing lakes It all brings a warm smile To this homes happy place Walking on a Thin Line Feeling fragile Weak, but strong Taking every Ounce to hold on To hear the words Of truth within Our fragile hearts Of love and sin Whisper deep In thoughts of hope To pull us up From a dangling rope And see the horizon Once again Of all its glory Fo and friends The Right Path We've done and said So many things We can't undo So many times Through over the years To those we love And hold so dear And only wish Somehow, somewhere, There was a way To just rewind And play a tune Of simpler times But lost souls know It's simply not true We must move on To better days Learn from our past And keep our paste Growing stronger Through the years And let our hearts Be our guide Until what's left Is a memory Of better times Yet to be Hello Snowflakes fall Upon my tongue Then melt away With morning dew As the day begins A new sun to rise Seamless and bright While winter awaits Silent but near To say hello Better Days Feelin' good Feelin' fine Feelin' better Than devine Feelin' high Then feelin' low I'll take a sip Of over blow Get tangled up And torn apart Knocked around And fall apart Then letting go I'll zip it up And pull together 'Cause this chic's tough Tethered Heart A little courage A little faith Tucked away For better days Slowly seeping Through every vein To come alive And breathe again Yet very cautious Of twisting roads Or hidden thorns To pierce and dwell From hollow places Still unknown Where predators live And wait for prey To hunt and kill For food or game As earth is fierce With the soft and wild Sun and stars To shadow every Path we walk Redefined We know mistakes We know our breaks We know the pain Our hearts can take To learn the way Of troubled paths In such defeat Of feeling drowned So hastily in misery To only be Stronger still Next time the pain Breaks our soul As though it smothers Every breath Every word And every thought That shapes our vision To truth untold Until that day It comes again We say goodbye To reckless bliss Enough The rumors, the hate The verbal abuse When is it enough Without any proof Turn into your heart For it knows a lie It knows deceit Of every kind Behind a smile So sheepish and catty Exploiting with hatred To the mind everlasting The strike of words Igniting fire Violent and cruel For no reason of kind Is only from fools Without a soul Without any love To live and let go They hide behind A mask of fear Pushing away With the truth is near As the victim within Knows their wrong And knows what's right Even after it's gone For when our spirit Is in face with heaven The lies will come forth As their only blessing Beauty Giving thanks Giving peace A simple smile And integrity Through and through Each single day Keeping focus To never stray And follow the soul's Most inner dreams Of love and truth So adventurously Through the days And time to come Making memories In the sun With gentle wings Breaking free To souring skies Of life to be Sweet Melodies He sang to her A lullaby Simple and sweet As she closed her eyes To rest her head Upon his shoulder He wrapped his arm Around her gently With hands of strength So soft but firm And as he sang With a voice of heaven Into her whispering Ears allure He kissed her forehead Then her cheek And said the words She needed to hear I love you now And always will You're an angel You're my star Just from heaven's Ray of sun |
