I’m not much

My home is in her heart and when I’m lost she calls me with the sweetest melody
No one else’s heart could ever contain me as she lifts me from a world of insanity
And I’ve seen the world in her eyes as she smiled and held me in her loving arms
No other can ever come first in my mind as we walk through turmoil to the calm

All though I’ve been blinded and foolish in my insanity letting my angel fly free
Lifted by the grace of god freed from my blindness and taught to know humility
I now testify to the brightness of her grace that my divine divinity has shown to me
Upon my bended knees I beg for the light of mercy because she’s the only one I see

When you really love someone there’s no giving up if you really love her that much
When your heart hurts so severely and all it can do is pray for her forgiving touch
I have nothing without her, no feeling without her love and I scream to the heavens
lord you know without her
I’m not much

The Long Road To Me

I hear it calling for me softly in the distance
I hear it calling my name softly in the wind
I heed the call not showing much resistance
The caller and I are very much akin

The long road beckons me deep from my core
Shackles of the mind chain me down no more
When I find the intensity to carryon and endure
Sorting my mind of people I do and don't adore

One spin of the Zippo wheel and the sparks fly
I inhale and exhale as I grab my things on the sly
Judging the weather as I cast my eye to the sky
I look at my watch while slowly releasing a sigh

As I toss the used glowing ember into the air
I look towards the world and what's out there
So much holding me back but I just don't care
I'll cross the world with the wind in my hair

Another step is all I can muster at this minute
Gravel crushing beneath my feet as I walk in it
The worldly journey comes alive as I begin it
My spirit and direction are so closely knit

The stars are my roof and soft grass at my feet
The road splits into highways and backstreets
Far too much to see from the window seat
There's no clear win, but still no defeat

Why She Loves The Rain

Why she loved the rain she could never explain
I’d find her standing in it time and time again
With each drop that fell Came a distinct scent and smell
With each minute the rain washed away the pain
Away in waves, away down the drain

Her spirit would rise when the clouds filled the skies
How the rain made her smile, and brightened her eyes
Whatever her troubles, whatever her dismay, it took away
It fell in torrents it fell in drops and drizzle
It fell on winter ice and summers heat and sizzled

I thought I would never find or ever know
Until one day I turned to see the rainbow
Now through the storm she stands her ground
Because at the end inner peace can be found

You’ll see her standing in the rain, that’s what she does
And if by chance you ask her, she’ll say

Just because

What was I thinking


With the fuse lit I ran in slow motion without any notion of how to get away,
My feet and my brain looked back amazed not knowing my heart decided to stay.
A can of worms he said as I tread upon the grass that wasn't intended for me,
Sad music playing out of the radio each note and word tells of my destiny.

Strange images of colors surround and change like nothing I have ever seen,
I painted myself into a corner with the sweat of my brow and a gallon of gasoline.
Why nail myself up upon the cross and live again with the pain stress and strain,
Why sail my ship of fools down a long track to come to heads with an oncoming train.

What was I thinking I said to me as the sun sank into my horizon right in front of me,
Now the taste of freedom has lost its flavor not as seasoned like id like it truly to be.

Checkmate

My life is in checkmate and there's no way to win
I've tried every move, now it's time to give in
I'll lay down my sword and let the capture commence
To try to keep up the fighting makes little sense
Look at me I'm the king never to be a pawn
Every move I retrace to see what went wrong
My castles are in ruins and my knights are all down
My queen has been taken and there's no hope around
Everything is black and white as I survey the field
Everything is wrong or right as I surrender and yield

Something Simple

Speaking uncomplicated is the deliberation of the day
It shows certainty and pushes misconception away
A uncomplicated phrase like I care,
Can recuperate a hurting heart
And wipe away a somber tear
Something minimal like hello or hi
Can be the cause of a smile on a face
And make the longest day fly by

Behind My Mask

I'll never let you know until you ask.
I'll just sit here hiding behind my mask.
I have one for every season,
For every rhyme and reason.
I'll put one on when you come around,
So you'll think I'm happy, hiding a frown.
I have one for work and one for play,
And one that says just stay away.
Although I love you, you'll never know.
I'm hiding it behind a façade,
One I made that will never show.
Maybe I'll lock them up,
Then throw away the key,
Then I'll be the real me
You've been trying to see
But until I'm touched
You wont see much
Just a mask hiding
What you're trying to see

To The One I Love

When I say I love you, then I surely love you
And there's nothing I can say or do
When I'm not there with you, then I'm thinking of you
And waiting is all I can do
So when our eyes meet, and each and every heartbeat
Seemed to be intertwined with mine
Then you'll know I love you, truly love you
As you place your little hand in mine.
Then we can sail off into the sunset
And right from the offset
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Then you'll know I love you, truly love you
Then everything will be just fine

Feeling Like A Fish Out Of Water

Feeling like a fish out of water today
Like a vending machine out of order
Like a dollar shy of a few quarters
Not myself but not someone else
Swimming against the outgoing tide
Staying in one place going for a ride
Standing out in the open trying to hide
About to jump out of the skin I'm in
Just finishing and about to begin
Feeling like crying with a big grin
Like I'm eating take out in
Thinking smart but talking dumb
Having nothing but giving sum
Like I'm in the red feeling blue
Thinking false talking true
Being a stand up guy on the side
Being ridden while I ride
Cant see the forest for the trees
Its not easy being me
