Strange New Feeling

Feeling something inside me what should I do


This feeling I know is something new


Im feeling excited


And sort of delighted


Doing things out of the ordinary


And it makes me feel extraordinary


Can’t break this smile off my face


I see her face everyplace


With the wind comes her voice


With the sun comes her smile

Pay Attention

You know not of what I saw

But you know I see

You know not of what I heard

But you know I hear

You know not of what I said

But you know I speak

You did not see what I saw

For you did not watch

You did not hear what I heard

For you did not listen

You did not hear what I said

For you spoke as I was speaking

You turned away as I watched

Shut your ears as I listened

And spoke as I was speaking

The reason that

You did not see what I saw

Hear what I heard

or hear what I said

Is because you weren't paying attention

New Life

Separated by the end of time


Body and soul disperse


Soul goes to either Heaven or to Hell


While your body remains on Earth


With death comes new life


A new soul joining a new body


Not yet prepared for the world of strife

Mother Nature

Wind blowing through blades of grass on a cool Autumn day

Rain watering the many flowers in a meadow

Snow bringing joy to children on a nice day off from school

Sun beating down on you face on a hot summer day

Nature

In all her glory

Nourishing us to help us to survive

Look to the Horizon

The sun starts to fade


Slowly we drift away


No one knows what’s on the other side


Only that things can’t get any worse


Look beyond the horizon for that is where your future lies


Live life to the fullest


Live each day as if its your last


The future is where your life begins


No use looking to the past

Come and Gone

They say winter is all around us

But with the melt snow I see no proof

The time before Christmas is all exciting and anticipation

But then the day after *poof* its gone

Two months of build up to one day of celebration

Then its gone for another year

Then its New Years Eve

5,4,3,2,1 well, there goes another year

Its all just a mindset

Think one thought at a time trying to get into the spirit

But what if u just cant

Finding it hard to want to feel the cheer

All these shows and movies telling u to feel this, and feel that

But who are they to say what the season is about

About the Lord, our savior, the birth of the Christ child

Then we have TV saying “go out and buy this for someone”

Everything in your head just tossing ‘n turning

Wondering what the season is really about

Everyone has their own thoughts and feelings

But everything always fades away

But life goes on

The new year comes and u try to turn things around

It’s a whole new time

A clean slate to change ur life and make better decisions

The winter crispness is still in the air

But the snow is fading fast

You wish that time could flip into reverse

But Life doesn’t have four-wheel drive

Yet u still wish to go back and attempt to be filled with the holiday spirit

But that’s it, its over, no looking back, life moves on

You may not be ready but this isn’t a race no one calling “ready set go”

All u have is the go and that’s all u can do

Gotta keep moving and keep out the cold from freezing ur toes

The winter is like a knife, it can be used to save you or kill you

Life just moves on

Bad Day

Anger and hate joined by the power of angst.


Not being able to show pure rage.


Wanting to scream until your voice wears out.


The rage ticks and tick until its about to explode.


It gets to the point of no control.


You write and write until you can write no more.


Its there, you feel it, building in your core.


You want more than anything to let it all out.


It makes you sick not being able to do anything


The cries in your head plea for the greatest yell of our life.

Hearts Combined

Hearts beat together, passionately our lips touch

I can feel the beating of your heart on mine,

We are one

I gaze into your eyes and get lost in the depths of myself

Because when I am with you I feel whole

I am one with myself and with you

Time seems as though it could be stopped

Trying to think is the hardest thing ever when I’m with you

I feel you pressed against me

Trying to get even closer then we were

But how can you get closer when you’re already pressed body to body?

You try, and how hard you try

You pull me closer, both hands behind my head

You passionately kiss my lips, you are amazing

Wishing to get close, our hearts combined

Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow

A rose
A single rose
hanging for a moment
One song
A bittersweet melody
Playing through a darkened bus stations
A boy
A small boy
Shivering on a bench
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
The suffereing and pain
This boy had no gain
beaten, corrupted, and abused
Knowing only the feeling of being used
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Curled up on the bench
The boy shakes and quakes
Looking at the rose
A smile sweeps across his face as he thinks about
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Adopted at 5, set free at 8
His thoughts and feelings, not powered by hate
Tears streaming down his cheeks his smile peers through
He cries because he is happy. His dream has come true
His head rests on the thighs of his mother
Together they look at the rose and dream about tomorrow

Voices in the Frame

For every action
There is an equal or opposite reaction
And in a fraction
Of a second
Things can change
Begin to rearrange
Flow thru a whole range
Of thoughts and ideas
The way they make you feel
Look to your words
Make yourself heard
Create you soapbox
Your show lot
Rise into the lights
This is your fight
Time is running tight
You have to look them in the eye
To show them they can trust
Who you are
For in one glance
In a single instance
They will take a stance
Determine who you are
It's your doing
There is no reviewing
For every action
There is an equal or opposite reaction
Take a picture it's your life
And this is the caption

Talking to Myself

I'm looking back on the days that have passed
On days when I used to feel relief
When I had people to talk to
To turn to in times of need
At the end of each day when the burden would lift
Leaving me at peace with a strange satisfaction
Now I hold it all inside until the day i release
I use many things as a mask
And many masks I do wear
I drown my sorrow in alcohol
Bury my pain with sarcasm
And the hole I have dug
I am thought of only as an asshole
With the things I do for people
I thought I deserved more
Just one more mistake I placed before me
The past was where it was clear
I had my friends to turn to
Now its darkness I see
I dont see the worth of speaking
When I no one understand the truth
Those near me I have pushed away
I find no reason to try
Soon I will surely lose control
And will lose everything
Its better for me to keep things inside
Cut the ties that bring people too close to me
Because no one wants to hear what I have to say

Chance at Trial

I need an escape,
gotta break free from these chains,
brought before the court
"Your honor I didnt know"
The means of my actions were well intentioned
and if I could go back
Id make the same mistake
Couldn't even...(1,2,3)
Change a thing

My past has built this present
This present builds my future
if I look back
Ill second guess
Which is a chance that Im not taking

(Chorus)

Take a look into my eyes
And you'll see what is real
You will see my true story
And you'll know exactly how I feel
Just give me a chance

(Chorus)

You know I can be the one
To make the world seem right
In the darkest of hours
I can show you the light
All you need to do is take the chance

(Chorus)

I dont have a single regret
in this life that Ive lived
Im a bigger person
Through all my mistakes
Now Im taking the chance to give it up
Ive throw it all away for you...

Cant Tell

Im taking this pain
and being proactive
with the time ive wasted
its nothin interactive,
the hands on the clock
are moving at speeds
that Im unable to see
cant even read
the time
or between the lines
this aint no shot at the limelight
get ready cuz im coming
cant do nothing
to stop the words
feed the heards
listen to the masses
as they rejoice
cuz the coming sound
aint like nothin you ever heard,
and my eyes
will show you the signs
that im the one who can show you whats right
and in the greatest darkness
Ill be the one you'll find in the light

It ain't your grandmother's recipes, but its sure to delight
Just follow the directions should come out just right
