One Sided Glass

The glass you cannot see through it
Only one side is clear
We try to look into the glass
Though what we see gets smeared
To never see the other side
Can cause us so much pain
Like trying to see outside the glass
in the falling rain
To clearly see sometimes we must
look in a different light
And through the other's eyes sometimes
Before we see who's right
For often times, the glass is clear
Until up close you start to peer
Then suddenly it dawns on you
You'll see things that you never knew

Consumed

With your mere presence alone, I am left breathless
To feel your hand take mine sends me into a peaceful rest
When you hold me, I feel our hearts become one beat;
distinct and clear
To peer into your eyes makes the rest of the world
disappear
The beautiful tone of your voice drowns out all
surrounding sounds
To your spirit, my heart and soul will be eternally
bound
Your lips touch mine as soft and gentle as morning
lays its dew
Without a doubt, I am completely, utterly, and
uncontrollably consumed by you

Protective Walls

Defensive walls are never killed,
a few harsh words and they're revealed
Trying to please and bring delight,
admissions kill it in one swipe
A simple request, you call that
control, no longer will my feelings show
Emotions pour from my heart like blood,
ever flowing, causing a flood
That pain you will no longer see,
I asked of you such simple pleas
The hurt and pain will soon be ceased,
the agony shall I release
I'll let the walls grow tall and proud,
no longer speaking thoughts aloud
Hopeless opinions with no resolve,
into these walls my heart evolves
I gave you more than anyone before,
the walls are built, no pain, no more

Blind Conceit

Refuse no more on thine own self an honest light to shed
The side you see is not the only one that should be read
Open up your heart and take a good clear look inside
The bitter pain you cause within my heart, I shan't abide
No longer will I nod my head and idly sit by
Alone you've placed yourself upon a pedestal so high
For your understanding, many many times I've pled
So now I choose to walk a path of solitude instead

Together, Forever

The day our maker decides to take us is not ours to choose
A loss of a loved one leaves us so very confused
How do I function without you? How am I supposed to make it each day?
If I put my hope in the afterlife, I know that I will find him someday
And all the love will be revitalized without the issues of life
But until my time is called, I must do what's right
I must live the way he'd want me to live and know he's watching me
And when my path leads to its end, together, forever, we shall be

The Final Breath

Razor sharp is the point, as I find
my heart and prepare to leave this life
I stand there in the pits of hell,
my hand upon the knife
Tears flowing down my clammy cheeks,
I sway until I fall
Sharp metal blade enters my soul,
to no ones ears I squall
Freezing air succumbs to warmth, the blood it quickly flows
I hold my breath and push it more;
I'm just dying too slow
I gasp for air and find a spot to be my resting place
I close my eyes and feel death's touch,
the end I will embrace
I feel my heart begin to stop, the beats become so rare
I lie there dying on the ground
and whisper a soft prayer
Forgive me Lord for what I've done I hope you understand
The heartbeats stop, and my life ends; taken by my own hand.

A Sister

Having a sister is like having a built-in best friend
When all others leave, she'll still be standing there in the end
There are few bonds that can top that of a sister's
Now that we are grown, we can look back and laugh at the cuts,
bumps, bruises and blisters
A sister's love is eternal, unwavering and true
And if God would have given me a choice for a sister, I would still have chosen you

Patience

It seems the world is always rushed and always in a hurry
We run to here and run to there, always rushing, always flurried
Some things in life, however, are truly worth the wait
Especially when it comes to waiting for your true soul mate
To show patience is a virtue most men do not possess
But I really wanted you to know, I am not like the rest
I'll wait until the time arrives together we can stand
Regardless of how long it takes, I'll always be your man

To be chosen

To hold you in my arms so tight,
from sundown till the morning light
Brings to me a joy untold,
worth more to me than tons of gold
I watch you sleep, I feel you breathe
Why you want me, I can't conceive
I feel so blessed, I feel such glee
That somehow you have chosen me

My Idol

If ever on this Earth there is one man I'd aspire to be
It would be the one that selflessly raised and mentored me
You've shown me even when they pass, you can still keep the love
I hold no one in higher regard save for God above
Not once have you ever turned your back when I was in times of need
Someday, I know that you'll be repaid, for all of your good deeds
You truly are my hero, and to all of you I'll boast
If I can become half the man you are, I will be twice the man of most

Avalanche!

Shivering so rapidly, without any control
My only blanket in this hell is 50 feet of snow
Darkness, silence, fear of death, unable to move at all
Thundering noise alerted me that the snow would fall
Desperately, I try my best to make an escape from this grief
Trapped here, overpowering numbness is my only relief
I'm suffocating, air so thin, I hardly catch my breath
I close my eyes and let it come, then I succumb to death

I'd like to dedicate this to the 48 people who lost their lives yesterday, Feb 5th, 2008.

A Thief in the Night

Engulfing daylight, you follow your path
Devastation, destruction, all are at your mercy
You unfurl at your discretion who feels your wrath
Blackness, eerie silence fills the night
Then louder than a freight train, you roar for all to see your might
You stealer of lives, hopes, and dreams
The aftermath of your destruction is spread like a disease
Why couldn't you have stayed a simple little breeze

Sleeping Angel

I lie there with you as you slumber
and hold you tight while you rest
I run my fingers through your hair
and feel your breath upon my chest
Steep is the road which lies ahead,
our journey has just begun
Many more tears we both shall shed
Before the trip is done
Prove to me your words are just
I'll do my best to try and trust
I'll give you all the love I can
and proudly say that I'm your man

Friend or Foe?

You wretched, vile beast born of Hell
You took my life as I turned to pale; death overtaking me
The lightness, freedom and pure joy of the afterlife
Destroyed faster than given, as I open my eyes and see you holding a knife
Your wrist gushing blood from the wound, dripping into my open mouth
Now I crave the blood you crave, we are little more than louse
You have destroyed my life; perhaps it is more than that
You have also given me a new life; one filled with yet unforeseen pleasure
Have you given me a curse, or given me a treasure?

How much longer?

We have the means, yet we are unwilling to change
We have the desire, yet we are not committed to the cost
Toxins destroying our Earth, all in the name of profit loss
Profit is more important than our lives, our Planet
Yet, we sit back and allow it to transpire as long as we have enough toys to occupy
How much of what we are told is truth, how much a lie?
Preoccupy the masses and and any illusion can be performed right before their eyes
Meanwhile, hemp could nearly replace our oil demand
But they tell us it is forbidden in this land
Instead, we send our sons and daughters to die for oil, across the world in the sand

For my Soul Mate, My Love, My Valentine

With the way my thoughts think of you every second
I do not need a Holiday to express my love for you
I pray the love I show to you reflects my inner feelings
And I hope it lights your spirit as high as the ceiling
Never will you have to think about me ever wanting to leave
As promised, you will have my unconditional love, not only
now, but for eternity

I Failed My Mission

You sent me an Angel, to test my heart
I failed you miserably, right from the start
I almost feel demonic, like Satan himself
Maybe I AM born of the pits of hell myself
Perhaps my soul has been doomed for centuries now
In this life, I thought I could change that somehow
Do with me what you will, punish me as you see fit
You've already taken my wings, my own fault I admit
Why even bother with the struggle any more
I might as well burn in hell, for no longer can I soar
Perhaps I will just let this life run its course
No longer seeking Your guidance, absolving my remorse
If I'm cursed to burn and bound to the abyss
Because I fell off the chosen path and became amiss
YOU sent me here to this place to perform a single task
Now my life is hell, because I forgot what it you asked
One small reminder, why will You not tell me my mission
You're lack of willingness to speak to me has taken all of my ambition

I miss you (Dedicated to my Momma, who lost her life in April 2006)

The tears streamed down my face with such voracity
Emotional pain ripped me apart, but in a way I was glad
The last time I saw you, you still had breath and looked so pretty
I never turned and looked back, you said it made you sad
You suffered for so long, I know that you are better now
Forever will you be in my memory, on this I give you my vow
You gave me life, brought me into this world, nurtured me
I wish I could have been here during your last days
But you were proud of me for serving my country, you always gave me praise
I wish I could have taken the pain and suffering M.S. caused you
My entire life I showed you that my love was unconditional and true
I miss you, Momma, but I know that heaven received a wonderful angel
I know that I will see you again, so I won't tell you farewell
I know that you are watching me and you know how much I appreciate
the guidance, support, love and giving me all that you had
Someday, I will put my arms around you in heaven and hold you tight
Then together, hand in hand, we will soar and take flight

Together As One

I feel my soul enter yours as I melt into your eyes
I kiss your neck so passionately, I gently rub your thigh
I reach up, gently placing my mouth over top of your lips
We breathe life into each other, perfect rhythm without a skip
I embrace you and devote myself to you and you alone
Then I hear the wonderful sound of your soft, sensuous moan
Together, in waves of ecstasy, simultaneously we culminate
Then I will know with no doubt in mind, I have found my soul mate
