Nothing ever happens when you expect it,
so go with the flow and take chances
because somewhere in all the unexpected
comes a moment of opportunity to discover something
beautiful, breath-taking, life-changing.
When you love something, fight for it,
even on days when you want to give up;
And when you love someone, find a way to show them every day;
They want proof, not another promise to break,
good things are worth the effort.
There are gong to be situations that force you to choose
and do things that you don’t want to do
But sometimes the hardest decisions provide the best outcomes
Trust what you believe to be “right,” do it with innocence
and just know that He will help you through the rest.
All the mistakes you make eventually lead you in the right direction,
so take the “wrong turns” as detours and lessons learned.
Don’t stare for too long, ‘cause you’ll get stuck in a memory
and don’t stray too far from the speed limit:
go too slow, you’ll ever get to where you want
go too fast, you’ll miss the finer details.
Never lose faith in your dreams
because what’s meant to be will always find a way,
no matter how many people try to discourage you, don’t believe in you.
Sometimes when you’re in a battle, you must be your own hero,
persistence, acceptance and adaptability will help you grow faster
and understand that some things take a while to work out
in the end, everything happens for a reason you must accept.
You and only you know who I am.
When you touch me with your muddy hands.
I am a piece of flesh, with a blossoming heart.
We lie in the forest beneath the starry dark.
Challenge my mind but do not get lost in arrogance.
Do not engage without caution, but love with patience.
Be mine so long as I can feel the spark in your touch.
Love me hard and deep, but not too much.
I lose myself and escape to your eyes.
I wander amongst the streets of your fears and lies.
But I do not run or flee or scramble away.
For those moments I am lost, yet unable to stray.
Allow your heart to be my home, and I will do the same too.
I will bury my body in your muddy hands, and I will leave them clean for you.
The pride to my shame.
The fuel of my flame.
If life is a target,
Then you are my aim.
The calm to my storm.
The cool to my warm.
Together we fight,
Against all the norm.
You stand beside me,
And you help me see,
The infinite choices,
Of what I could be.
I'll stand beside you,
Happy or blue.
A living reminder,
Of all that is true.
You see on my face,
The pain and disgrace.
The remnants of guilt,
That I tried to erase.
In you, I confide.
All bullshit aside.
When I am with you,
There's nothing to hide.
I see in your eyes,
Beneath the disguise,
The purest of hearts,
In fear of demise.
There's nothing to fear.
Though it isn't always clear,
Should you stray from your path,
I will always be near.
Our friendship is fate.
From the way that we prate,
I can tell our connection,
Will never abate.
Our lives, they conflate.
Our wisdoms equate.
Imagine the wonders,
That we can create.
The void has been filled.
This friendship, we build.
We look to the future;
The both of us thrilled.
So here I will stand,
In reach of your hand.
The greatest of friends,
In all of the land.
Heartfelt Sorrow
by
Son of Asa Doome
He still begins each day
Just the same as before
As he wakes he's lookin' back
Then his heart falls through the floor
He don't know what he did this time to make her go away
If you point yer ear towards the wind
You can faintly hear him say
I don't know what I did this time but I'm cryin' anyway
I can't see any colors now
The whole world's turnin' grey
If you would please just come back and talk to me
If only I could see yer face again
I can promise you now from this day on you won't be sad again
Closing her eyes she turned her back on him
Then she slowly walked away
She climbs into her car and glances back
To see the tears run down his face,
She starts to cry as she drives away
And she doesn't know where to go
Her whole life she had planned out with him
Had just gone up in smoke
She doesn't know why she ran from him
And she cant go back again
She runs outta gas on the outskirts of town
Slams the door and walks away
It starts to come a pourin' down just as if angels were cryin' from above
She throws her keys and just gives up
And now she's cryin' in the rain
You can find him sittin' at the bar
Askin' for a double please
He thinks to himself
Without this small glass of liquid posion
I'd walk around on my knees
He stares into the distance as the world around him fades away
And he prays to god for the strength
To get up off his knees again
If only he could walk a straight line again
He'd do his best from this day on
To never stray beyond the path again
He's lost everything in his entire life that meant anything to him
It's as if he's a lost soul wondering this world
Until he finds her again
She gets up off her knees and she tries to make it down the road
With no coat and no one near she can't fight off the cold
She simply cries out to GOD
And screams out for his help
Hoping just to see a sign
It is far too late cause by this time she is far too blind to see anything flicker in the sky
They both lost hope and now their gone
Doomed to wonder this world alone
If only they could point their ears toward the wind
It might just guide them home
One head
Watches over me,
covered in scales of plenty
Like a slimy sea
Licking my own fate
Two heads
Engulf the air and circle the ground
Looking for something not found
A flammable screeching sound
Masks the rush of my heart rate
Three heads
Prevent me from moving on
Like foxes trying to con
Hoping that what I search for is gone.
They deviously begin to mate.
Six heads
Barricade like thick cement
Keeping me in tryin to prevent
Any and all things I present
Then with a promise, I sedate.
One heart
I aim for straight away
Noiselessly I stop and stay
Silencing voices I have let stray
My own victory I now can create.
I know my nose got longer
when the days got darker,
but all I see is light ahead,
so won't you see it too?
You know me better
when I'm close by,
but you are so far away,
so how do I tell you?
This isn't some circle
that keeps flowing,
but a bold line that ends,
so why don't you notice?
It wore me out more
than even you can say,
but you think I'm not tired,
so when will I rest?
We all do things
that leave a nasty scar,
but I see it and I stray,
so don't you think I'll be okay?
I know it's all over
and I hope you soon see,
but time is getting faster,
so won't you please hurry?
This is the post-junkie
that is never to return,
but always to remember,
so much that I have learned.
And we'll entwine our thoughts together,
Like the stems of two double roses..
Those good memories make it even better,
Like time stood still for our picture perfect poses..
My heart beats for you
And my mind doesn't stray far.
It's just the way we should be; as two,
Just like the way I wished upon that star
I'm just a simple complexity.
Want to know something more?
I walk at night and my feet get real sore.
I'm just a half-cat mistress.
Want to see something else?
I do it all alone and I never ask for help.
I'm just a cosmic mess.
Is this not what you asked for?
I sink and I smile but there has to be more.
I'm a girl that gets up and gets dressed.
Don't you live every day?
I carry on and don't have much else to say.
I'm a toy that will never be put down.
Do you want to play?
I stick to my guns and I never stray.
I'm just a post-punk hermette.
Do you ever hide?
A typical ride where no one lies.
I'm a poet with a pencil.
Have you ever written?
In my own corruptless world, I fit in.
I'm a solar sanctuary.
Do you hold it in?
I let it out and then I spin.
I'm just a down-tempo daughter.
Did you want something more?
I go with the flow and I walk through the door.
Monsters in the darkness,
Howling to the moon,
Tearing their prey apart,
Tearing my heart to shreds.
The moon is full, the sky is sparkling,
Littered with specs of dazzling light,
Littered with moments of courage,
Covered with bits of hope.
The bed is cold and lonely,
The space next to me is empty,
The arms that kept me warm are gone,
The love I needed most has vanished.
The time is coming now,
The height of the night is here again,
And we will be back to the way we were,
Far from the chilling silences and the broken dreams. Please.
All we ever needed was each other,
And a bit of hope and daring.
I was the hope, you were the daring.
Apart we are nothing, together we were love.
We made one single promise,
One promise to last a lifetime,
One bond never meant to be broken,
A place for us to rest our heads:
We promised we would stay
And never stray to what we wanted,
And always be with each other,
Never give in to westward wind.
Now the howling of the wolves,
And the rustling of the screams that fill the spaces between the trees
And the ghost of a broken promise
Tear into my heart, my soul, my mind.
I don't want to be alone.
You look always on the bright side
Tomorrow always brings a new day
Because optimism is where happiness is supplied
Happiness you will not be denied
No matter what they have to say,
You look always on the bright side
Put everything else aside
Even the cheesy cliche
Because optimism is where happiness is supplied
For this you can take pride
It can be looked at every which way
You look always on the bright side
If they adopted your motto worldwide
This place would be a better place to stay
Because optimism is where happiness is supplied
Optimism forever applied
From this you never stray
You always look on the bright side
Because optimism is where happiness is supplied
